Limbaugh once again insulting rape victims
You see, the problem is it's overreported and exaggerated

"I know the House vote's going on, but Obama went out there, ladies and gentlemen, and sought a rape victim to tell her story in an ad. Why do you have to seek one? I thought it happened so much in this horrible country, you could just find one walking down the street. "Hey, we know you've been raped. Come in and do a commercial for us!" Well, isn't that what the feminists have been telling us? It's sick, sick, sick, and nobody is going to care."
-- OxyRush 9/30/08

This is from a guy who says feminists believe that all heterosexual sex is rape.

No surprise that a thrice-divorced man hates women, but I wonder if McCain and Palin stand by this kind of talk talk, seeing as how one of them will no doubt do his show prior to election, in the GOP's usual "My good friend, Rush" stop to fire up the lunatic base.

Since the Republicans have been playing the game this year that that everyone is guilty of any statement made by a person that they've met, this is certainly fair game.

1. Same thing I said in the Palin rape kit thread...
Repukes hate victims.

Only "the weak" are victimized, and all good right-wingers despise "the weak" like the social Darwinists they are.

4. Maybe he should ask Palin, didn't
I read that Alaska has the highest incident of rape and sexual abuse in the country?

5. This is misleading.
"The law was on the books when Sarah Palin became mayor of the small city, and it's unclear whether she supported it or opposed it during her tenure."

The policy to charge rape victims in the town started under Msyor Sarah Palin.
