While this appears to be an appalling miscarriage of justice and definitely qualifies as a “stupid idea” on many counts, how on earth is it specifically “Republican”? I don’t see any indication in your link of the political affiliation of any of the parties involved.
Did you accidentally drop this on your way to the May Mini-rants thread, or what?
Apologies. I ran into an unexpected time crunch. I checked the judge’s bona fides before I posted, but neglected to type that he is, indeed, a Republican. Who is (as of today) running unopposed in November.
Forgive me.
The guy also has (had?) an official Facebook page with a big Republican banner on it.
I saw it about an hour ago, but now it’s gone. I’m betting that the page took a deluge of negative comments, and got taken down as a defensive strategy.
No problem, thanks to you and Czarcasm and mhendo for the follow-ups! Gosh, it’s like you can’t even spell “rape” nowadays without “R” and “AP”.
And now, CNN refuses to promote the crazy, saying they will not be covering the Benghazi hearings gavel-to-gavel, and will only report on them if there is, like, news involved.
Or any kind of airplane!
From the story regarding the comments - “Reading through them, one finds many calls for an armed or otherwise violent overthrow of the government.”
More work for the Secret Service. Now I understand their drinking problem. Too many asshats.
Wow, so the news organization that thinks random garbage floating in the sea is “breaking news” is refusing to cover Benghazi because it isn’t really fucking news.
Good for CNN. But really, if you can’t meet the low standards of CNN as to what qualifies as news, Fox and the Repubs might seriously want to rethink their world view.
That’s an entirely different proposition, altogether.
Rape is a figment of liberal culture! Of COURSE! And if rape is a figment of liberal culture, then WE DON’T HAVE TO PERMIT ABORTIONS FOR RAPE VICTIMS BECAUSE THEY ALL REALLY CONSENTED AND JUST DON’T REALIZE IT!!!
Yeah, but that was Obama’s fault.
And, apparently and unsurprisingly, this legislation is tied to the Koch Brothers, Halliburton and ALec, and to hydraulic fracturing industry lobby groups.
And, of course, if it had been legitimate rape their uteri would have shut down anyway, QED.
Making Obama the greatest serial raper of all time.
Great, meaning large or immense, I use it in the pejorative sense.
That’s an entirely different proposition.
GOP Rep. Ted Yoho: Voting should be limited to property owners.
Some RWs want things back like they were before the Great Society.
Some want things like they were before the New Deal.
Some want things like they were before the Fed and the income tax.
Some want things like they were before the Civil War.
Yoho has 'em all beat! He wants things like they were in the 18th Century!
I think their core problem is that they think of women more as something created by Jesus to entertain men and crap out babies than as equals. Why should there be laws against how you treat your toys?
Or the rape kit will clean them all out.
