Since Assange isn't accused of "forcible" rape, shoudn't GOP support him?



The ability of the brainwashed to simultaneously hold two opposite views never ceases to make me despair for democracy.

Now, I know they can say, "but that's not the law in Sweden"; and you can say back that since they want to change the law in the US; Assange should be the poster boy for "non-forcible rape".

There is no "forcible" rape as opposed to other types of rape.

The post would make freeper heads explode. It doesn't have to make sense. Its just has to force them to recognize they hold two opposite views on the same subject at the same time.

an apparent paradox wherein two seeming opposite truths occupy the same time/space frame is a sign of intelligence. It would be nice to live in a tidy black/white world, but we don't. And I doubt your op would make freeper heads explode. What you're really talking about is hypocrisy, which is an every day staple.
