…is by Democrats. Not to mention the NAACP:
I know I’m just a blogger & radio talk show host, but it seems to me that the NAACP actively working to make sure a democrat convicted of assaulting a woman who refused him sex is something that would not only be Immediately be recognized as Newsworthy, but given the “War on Women” meme would elevate this to a national story.
It has been said that the current media are simply Democrat operatives with bylines. If they choose to ignore this story that will be confirmed without a doubt.
Oh and if you claim to be a feminist & aren’t outraged by this, then you’re lying to yourself.
Yup. Just like their defense of Bill Clinton’s predatory behavior.
“People who personally treat women well” and “People who support women’s policy preferences” aren’t identical sets.
So opposing womens’ policy preferences (not that I agree with that characterization) is a “war on women,” but defending woman beaters and predators isn’t?
As Stalin might put it, one rape is a tragedy, a million rapes is a statistic. But even though tragedy has emotional power, policy makers and voters should focus on the statistic.
Why am I not surprised that you quote Stalin unironically?
Sorry to be unclear. To spell it out: I’m disagreeing with you and Stalin on the relative importance of individual tragedy vs. public policy.
Both major US parties have members who are wife beaters and rapists. One US party favors the public policies that are favored by most women, makes a point of reminding women of that fact, and receives most women’s votes.
No, one party just continually lies about the other party’s position, and the media stenograph it.
What are “women’s policy preferences”? Ask different women and you will get different answers. Shall we take a vote? Who is the final arbiter? When determining “women’s policy preferences”, I ask my wife, as she is the woman with whom I spend the most time. Her policy preferences are rather different than Ms. Clinton’s policy preferences to be sure.
Shall we take a vote?
Yes, polls are the usual ways to answer that question.
There are officially approved organizations that speak for all women, just as the NAACP and Jesse Jackson are the official spokesmen for all black people. The fact that many misguided women disagree with those approved organizations is irrelevant. Only the approved organizations are allowed to offer opinions.
