As predicted here recently, rape accusations have come to define the presidential campaign, with delegates flinging allegations, making comparisons between Republicans and rapists and stridently declaring “rape is rape!”
Actress Ashley Judd, serving as a Tennessee delegate, kicked off a breakfast with Ohio delegates by stating “At any time, in any relationship, at any age, and in any place, rape is rape.”
Another delegate said that voter ID laws amounted to mass rape.
Sandra Fluke, proponent of free birth control and abortion for all (funded by Catholic schools) is slated to speak, and she, too, will be talking about rape:
Fluke has since become an increasingly visible surrogate for President Obama, most recently introducing him at an Aug. 8 rally in Denver. She responded Tuesday to Akin’s comments about “legitimate rape” and pregnancy via an email relayed by the Obama campaign.
“This controversy is not an accident, or a mistake, or an isolated incident,” Fluke wrote. “It’s a reflection of a Republican Party whose policies are dangerous for women.”
It’s really amazing when you think about what these women are saying. Clearly, they are suggesting that if a Republican wins the election American women will be in grave danger of being raped, which is pretty insane if you think about it. It’s almost as though they are gripped by some mass psychosis, and imagine that we are in the midst of some sexual free-for-all, rather than the most policed nation in history.
I suppose the question is if they think it’s that bad now, what more do they plan to do? Will all men be subject to a curfew? Should we declare martial law and shoot suspected rapists on sight? Build male-only concentration camps in our deserts?
