The American Spectator : The Spectacle Blog : A Rape By Any Other Name

Text Size

After reading this story about a TSA agent suing, for defamation, a passenger/blogger who wrote that a pat-down was like a "rape," I hereby announce that the TSA agent's lawsuit is definitely a rape of justice. Yes, I said rape. So should every other blogger and writer out there. Rape rape rape.

For that matter, just about everything Big Sis' agents do is a rape of privacy. It's also a rape of decency. So there.

I agree. John Bolton just announced that he is not going to run for president. I feel raped.

Raped. Raped. Raped.

Add to that the 'rape' of Gibson Guitar Company.
Or the VP, and half a dozen other government officials calling the Tea party, terrorist and racist.
Or the rape of our borders that they refuse to protect. The list of offenses and defamation is endless.

Defamation? Liberalism and this government is out of control and defaming this Republic every day.

It's drama queen Amy Alkon, she's been raping America with bad advice for years.

Please. Gentlemen. There is only ONE Rape. The RAPE of Quanita Brodrick, by Bill Clinton.
Think about it: A sitting President was accused of RAPE, on the #1 Rated Television Show, in PRIMETIME. She said it, because HE DID IT.
He never SUED her, because HE DID IT.
It's surreal, that a sitting President of the United States of America, can be charged with a Rape, that EVERYBODY knows he committed, and keep his Office.
Apparently, if you're a Democrat President, RAPE is just part of your "Private Life" and is just between him and his Family, and nobody's business.
He suffered NOTHING. Never showed any kind of humility or shame. On the contrary, he's the Cock of the Walk. (No pun intended) He's the Democrat's FAVORITE GUY. Look at the poll.
There is no "other name" for it.
As Shakespeare might have engaged the matter: "RAPE, thy name is CLINTON."

I stopped reading AmSpec a while back. Thought I'd stop in and see if I was missing anything. Nope. The trivialization of the word "rape" continues apace on all sides. So not worth a blog post. Mr. Hillyer is unreadable for me. I'm a dyed-in-the-wool conservative, but I tend to shy way from hyperbole no matter who practices it. So, goodbye AmSpec. I'm off to NRO and TWS.
