It's a shame you never replied in that post. Of course, I knew your position, and that of your comrades on the right. There's no such thing as rape.
Actual sexual assault isn't the same as purported and planned sexual assault. In the case of Cain, we have a legitimate accuser, a legitimate aggressor, legitimate witnesses, and a signed, sealed settlement, oops agreement between the parties intended to shut them up.
If you gotta shut someone up, didn't someone do something wrong?
Meanwhile, back on the farm.
This, my friend, is an example of
real rape:We first noticed Marine Sgt. Charles Dyer, aka "July4Patriot," back in March, when we ran one of the first reports on the "Oath Keepers" bloc of the Tea Party movement -- an organization devoted to recruiting military and police-force veterans into a Patriot-movement belief system predicated on a series of paranoid conspiracy theories, especially the notion that the federal government intends to begin rounding up citizens and putting them in concentration camps.
Dyer played a prominent role in connecting the Oath Keepers to the Tea Party movement, speaking at a July 4 Tea Party rally in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. And he's been involved in organizing militia "maneuvers" in Oklahoma.
Dyer cropped up again in the news -- this time in the police blotter for allegedly raping a 7-year-old girl:
An ex-military man has been arrested on charges of rape of a child and forcible sodomy.
Charles Alan Dyer, 29, of Marlow, was arrested Tuesday afternoon by Stephens County Sheriff’s deputies, said Sheriff Wayne McKinney. Dyer served in the United States Marines in Iraq.
I'll try to meddle through google to find other specific instances like this. It's hard to do though, most hits have to do with a more general "Tea Party rapes America" type of stuff...
