Over at Time’s Swampland blog, religion gal Amy Sullivan slams Republicans with a joke that’s in such poor taste that you might laugh in spite of yourself. She writes, “After a week of dodging questions about why they thought the Hyde Amendment exceptions needed to be limited to victims of ‘forcible rape,’ the GOP authors of H.R. 3 are dropping the word ‘forcible’ from their bill. In an unrelated development, their wives and daughters have agreed to stop changing the locks at home.”

It's not a bad joke. You thought it was funny that Whoopi Goldberg said Polanski was not guilty of "rape rape".

However it's true if one of your womenfolk are raped, then it is not funny-- and then you think she has a right to be pro "choice" rather than pro-"life". And don't deny it.

You're either nuts, a throwback or both . Who says "womenfolk?"

Who thought it was funny that Ms. G said "rape rape"? Maybe liberal/progressives did, I didn't think it was funny - I thought it was pathetic. I could understand why a male liberal might say something stupid and evil like that to save a fellow male liberal, but for a woman, supposedly a feminist, to say that is worse than evil. Of course, that same person walked off the stage when that bad Mr. O insulted Islam so maybe I should understand why she would saythat. If one of my womenfolk ("womenfolk"? Where were you raised? I'd say Arkansas but that would insult people in Arkansas) were raped my first concern wouldn't be worrying about pro/anti-life.

Alan, you've given this way too much thought. You're not a rapist yourself, are you?

Alan creeps me out.

Oh behold the liberal contra-argument : insult. Please Miss Amy the next time you are in the room with the leader of us all please wait for an opening, look him in the eye and say "Mr. President, show us your papers!"
