VA congressional candidate - Spousal Rape Shouldn't Be a crime.

[Mass]

Seems sensitivity training is not working We can only hope this guy makes it to the election. It will make the seat an easy seat to win.

Note: can somebody corner Cantor and ask him what he thinks about the guy? I want to see him sweat about an answer that is not offensive to anybody.

GOP Congressional Candidate: Spousal Rape Shouldn't Be a Crime
Virginia state Sen. Dick Black fought to block a statue of Lincoln and invited a video crew to film him watching violent rape porn on a library computer. Now he's looking for a promotion

1. Did somebody open a portal to the underworld and now we have demons walking among us?

Could these republicans get any more draconian? These kind of ideas were probably passed up by a B grade movie director as too preposterous.

[athena]

2. From the article:

As a state legislator, Black opposed making spousal rape a crime, citing the impossibility of convicting a husband accused of raping his wife "when they're living together, sleeping in the same bed, she's in a nightie, and so forth."

So this person, who is in the Virginia state senate and is running for Congress, thinks that a woman loses the right to refuse sex when she decides to put on a nightie.

And yet, this thread is sinking. Who cares about threats to women's rights as human beings, eh? Especially when there are much more important issues to discuss, such as the theoretical and hypothetical threat against men posed by some random misandrist blogger online who isn't even in government, let alone running for Congress.

20. sinking

Many of these misogynists will be sinking when they run for reelection. Women, like elephants, never forget. And more women vote and more women are voting than ever before.

Adios-GOP

3. His is a

Pig from hell.

[jwirr]

4. This is insane. Spousal rape is often part of spousal abuse. It is about control.

[bullwinkle428]

5. K&R. His opponent needs to shout this from the rooftops.

[stevenleser]

6. K&R&Bookmarked and likely will be on my radio show this wk nt

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

29. Shout it from the rooftops, Steve.

[Thav]

7. Take the word "Spousal" out and you have his true motives.

[cer7711]

8. This Man Has Issues

Let's hope somebody's watching this guy--closely!

[Blue_Tires]

9. I'm betting he had a lot of fun searching for rape porn

to expose "gaps" in the system to the media...

Hell, they were probably his own browser bookmarks

[dougg]

10. He knows where to find violent rape porn, eh?

The man knows what he likes.

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

28. Welcome to DU.

Instead of an investigation, here's where to find it!
Great leader.

[countingbluecars]

11. Plastic fetuses

were his claim to fame some years ago when he sent them to members of the General Assembly. He also called birth control "baby pesticide". He is a total nut case.

[MissMillie]

12. I wonder if he has a daughter....

and how he'd feel if she were raped by her husband.

[Blue_Tires]

14. I'm pretty sure his dilemma would be

how to watch the rape from the closet...and hold the camera steady while beating his meat

[NastyRiffraff]

13. And this, from the link:

He spoke frequently to media outlets about sexual assault in the military, and called military rape "as predictable as human nature." "Think of yourself at 25," Black told a newspaper in 1996. "Wouldn't you love to have a group of 19-year-old girls under your control, day in, day out?"

They key word in that quote is "control." Rape is all about control. Yes, we have demons walking among us.

[Rozlee]

35. What. A. Douche.

As a former Army nurse, I hope never run into this guy. I heard of a military surgeon that got away with raping young nurses, techs and patients and retired without ever facing any repercussions in the mid 1980's. He and this guy would have had a merry time talking about it all over drinks at a club somewhere.

[packman]

15. Every day

More and more lunacy comes creeping across the nation from Virginia. I thought Florida and Arizona were the sinkholes of sanity, but Virginia sure is making a strong bid for wackydoodleness.

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

26. Michigan is next!

[Rozlee]

39. You forgot Texas.

The wacko is strong in my state too.

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

45. Can't forget Texas.

My BIL lives there.
All FoxNews vomit now, when he lived in MI. He was reasonable.

But please visit the

[Rozlee]

47. Thank you so much for that site.

Not really my thing, but my new son-in-law, who just moved to Texas from WV, is delighted with it. He had an amateur band that got occasional bookings called the Crashbots and now wants to start a new, more countrified one.

[Brigid]

16. So if I get married . . .

That means I sell myself into sexual slavery? Do I have that right?

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

24. Bump this up just...

Give me an answer. This needs to be at the top of the page.

No, marriage means you love someone and give your heart and soul to them.
Sometimes ya just don't wanna. Doesn't mean ya gotta.

[jsr]

17. What a dick

This Virginia state Sen. Dick Black.

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

25. Love how they put...

"Dick" in quotes.

[abq e streeter]

18. And never forget, this guy has been voted into office, presumably not by only men.

bad enough that men vote for these lunatics, but millions of women too. Mind-boggling is too mild a term.

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

19. I'm looking for words...

to describe my feelings.

His comments are insane! No means no, means no, means no!
This is meant for men, women, all.

I taught my daughter this mantra. I taught my sons, men can get raped also.
My daughter understood. My sons, giggled "men can't get raped", I metaphorically, slapped them down and repeated, "no means no". Later in life, they finally got it.

Sex is beautiful, it is the expression of love between two people.
When that love is not there, it is the expression of lust. That is all right as long as both consent.
My oldest, my first born son, was a victim of rape. He understands now.

The woman wanted a child and seduced him at a young age, 18, she 28, nothing took. Thank the powers that watch over us. She took his virginity. He was shamed. We had and still have a deep relationship, we were able to discuss the event.

It is all about power and control.

My wife and I taught our children to respect all, not only humans but all of nature.

Mankind is a blight on this planet.
Only through understanding, love, respect, will we be able to live in harmony with this world and the many we hope to discover.

I can only wish, hope, crave, that we realize this in time to make peace with our existence.

[athena]

36. I am so sorry

about what your son went through. He's lucky to have a supportive father he can talk to.

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

38. Thanks, but it's just life.

Please respond to as many as these posts as you can.
Keep this post up and kicking.
More need to know.

[mwooldri]

21. Mr. Black, 2014 called.

It wants to take away your 1950s and substitute it for the present. Judging him from the single Mother Jones article... seems to be completely twisted and depraved to me.

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

22. K and R for visibility

[riqster]

23. The really scary thing is...

He's been elected. More than once.

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

31. Your correct.

Ask yourself, what demographic does he look at?

[riqster]

33. The biblical rape freak caucus, it would seem.

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

40. Sorry, you are

[cvoogt]

27. Mixing business with personal life, apparently

He should know not to let his personal life interfere with his political stances. Tsk tsk.

[Rex]

30. Has he done anything to break the law? If so, then go after him and put him behind bars!

FUCK the political stuff...this guy sounds like a dangerous, degenerate that needs to be investigated! IF the spousal rape shoe was on the other foot...I bet No Dick would be crying for God and country to help save his ass!

Just more PROOF that the GOP is chock full of worthless degenerates that deserve to be homeless and penniless.

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

34. ^^^ this ^^^ +1

[historylovr]

32. K & R

Ugh. How is this rape advocate in office to begin with? Never mind, it's rhetorical.

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

37. Guess ya can tell...

that this is a subject near to me.

My sister suffered so much spousal abuse. She almost lost her mind.
This needs to be at the highest visibility DU can afford.

To witness it personally is one thing, to have it ok'ed by a "leader" is unacceptable. Trash that man.

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

41. Thought Virgina was for lovers....

Not rapists!

[get the red out]

42. I hope he keeps talking

And that all these idiots keep talking. It's easy to forget what complete misogynists Republicans are. Reminders like this are very welcome so that voters will make sure that when it comes to Republicans, to "shut that whole thing down".

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

43. I have to apologize...

that all this comes out in spurts.

It just galls me that this subject effects so many.
Thank you for listening. It really helps. So much bottled up, so much to say.

[Nye Bevan]

44. Is there a Democratic scheme to plant fake Republican candidates to say this stuff?

If so, it's succeeding brilliantly.

[alp227]

46. "By getting married, the woman has consented to sex, and I don't think you can call it rape."

An actual quote by influential conservative leader PHYLLIS SCHLAFLY. Yep, people actually believe this shit.

[lumpy]

48. Forcing sex on a woman or anyone against his/her/it's will is rape, a crime of violence.

[uppityperson]

49. And wimmin should wear burqas, right? k&r

[MadrasT]

50. This is so revolting I have no words.

No means no. Full stop.

[NuttyFluffers]

51. it took until the mid-70s to make this illegal in each state

and this mofo wants to go back to "the bad ol' days."

kick & recommended so people recognize the virulent evil we fight against that is the reactionary right wing. these people want policy to rob you, poison you, rape you, kill you, and more and get away with it all.

law is as much a weapon of evil, if you let it.

[Feral Child]

52. K&R n/t

[3catwoman3]

53. What a fitting name...

...this idiot has - Dick Black. May his turn black and fall off.
