Title: Republicans Say the Stupidest Things!
Post by: Howey on February 28, 2014, 06:39:08 pm
Do they really think that when they spout stupid shit (http://www.onlinesentinel.com/politics/Rep__Lawrence_Lockman_says_he_regrets_divisive_statements_.html) like this it just wafts off into the air, never to be repeated?

Quote
In a 1995 letter in the Sun Journal in Lewiston, a reader quoted a press statement by Lockman, then part of the Pro Life Education Association, saying, “If a woman has (the right to an abortion), why shouldn’t a man be free to use his superior strength to force himself on a woman? At least the rapist’s pursuit of sexual freedom doesn’t (in most cases) result in anyone’s death.”

That might be one of the most insane attempts at false equivalency/comparison/out-of-touch statements I have come across in a long time...dated or not.  How old was he when he was quoted saying that?  I'll assume he was 11 or 12. Seven maybe?

I mean it was literally a double take moment as I read it..."If a woman has (the right to an abortion), why shouldn’t a man be free to use his superior strength to force himself on a woman? At least the rapist’s pursuit of sexual freedom doesn’t (in most cases) result in anyone’s death"...what in the fuck'in-fuck?
