This is what Andrea Dworkin -actually- said about Saudi Arabia...

But mostly, inability to believe surfaces on days when Mr Carter and his cronies--and yes, I must admit, especially Andrew Young--discuss our good friend, Saudi Arabia. That is, their good friend, Saudi Arabia. I hear on newscasts that Mr Carter was enchanted by Saudi Arabia, that he had a wonderful time. I remember that Mrs Carter used the back door. I remember that the use of contraceptives in Saudi Arabia is a capital crime. I remember that in Saudi Arabia, women are a despised and imprisoned caste, denied all civil rights, sold into marriage, imprisoned as sexual and domestic servants in harems. I remember that in Saudi Arabia women are forced to breed babies, who had better be boys, until they die.

Seductive mirages of progress notwithstanding, nowhere in the world is apartheid practiced with more cruelty and finality than in Saudi Arabia. Of course, it is women who are locked in and kept out, exiled to invisibility and abject powerlessness within their own country. It is women who are degraded systematically from birth to early death, utterly and totally and without exception deprived of freedom. It is women who are sold into marriage or concubinage, often before puberty; killed if their hymens are not intact on the wedding night; kept confined, ignorant, pregnant, poor, without choice or recourse. It is women who are raped and beaten with full sanction of the law. It is women who cannot own property or work for a living or determine in any way the circumstances of their own lives. It is women who are subject to a despotism that knows no restraint. Women locked out and locked in. Mr Carter, enchanted with his good friends, the Saudis. Mr Carter, a sincere advocate of human rights. Sometimes even a feminist with a realistic knowledge of male hypocrisy and a strong stomach cannot believe the world she lives in.

1. It seems to be time

to ratfuck Carter (again).

Jason Carter must be a scary dude (for repubs).

Luckily they just passed a new gun law, presumably to cut down on those who tend to vote the wrong way.

2. She was a radical. That kind of bashing is to be expected. But it's not the point of my OP.

The point is to demonstrate that Andrea Dworkin was not a fan of Saudi Arabia.

3. Nobody, but nobody was more enchanted with the Saudis than the House of Bush

The Bushes were and are so in bed with the Saudis, it was almost a shock.

Carter is merely trying to get some sort of peace going, and while I love the man, I don't always agree with his Middle Eastern points of view.

But the Saudis? Those are George W. Bush's boyfriends.
