Young Republican National President resigns; Says sex with man was consensual, not harassment
:rofl:

http://pageoneq.com/news/2007/Young_Republcan_National_President_resigns_Says_sex_with_man_was_consensual_not_harrass_0808.html

The President of the National Young Republicans, under allegations of sexually harassing another man, has resigned from his post.

An older complaint, from 1988 alleged that Glenn Murphy, whose term at the helm of the group began last month, "had the blankets pulled up over the waist of and was committing oral sex on him when he awoke."


Check out the resignation email he sent:
First the great news. I bid on a contract for my company a little more than a year ago. I didn’t think it was going to go anywhere. It was a huge project, and taking on the commitment would be life altering for me and my business — my company doing in one year what I would ordinarily do in five. I never thought in a million years that I would land this bid. Well, I landed the bid Friday. Yay for me, right?

There was a major catch.

Due to the nature of the client, one of the stipulations in the contract was that I hold no official partisan titles. (insert gut-wrenching dilemma here) I could help. I could maintain the political consulting division of my business as long as I had additional lead consultants. But I could hold no official Republican positions.


"Yay for me" indeed. :rofl: :rofl:

3. Well technically the other guy never said "no"
he was asleep so there was no saying "no"

of course he never said "yes" either

7. Well...
that excuse (he was asleep and did not say no) does not fly...
imagine if I asked a neighbor, asleep in his yard hammock, if I
could take his new car...
Officer, I asked but, he did not say no!! I swear!!! :rofl:

19. In the world of sane people you're absolutely correct
in the world of privledged republican assholes who think they can condemn others for 'freak of nature' acts and then do it behind closed doors - well they clearly don't think like the rest of us

14. In Murphy's own words:
"I will essentially be the mouthpiece and effective leader for the tens of thousands of Young Republicans, 18 to 40, across the country."

22. Holy maird....
Well, there you have it folks. The guy said that he would be the "mouthpiece" for "tens of thousands
of Young Republicans..."

Every Young Republican knew that he planned to go down on them, at some point.

Unless these Young Republicans wore steel-reinforced underwear, I say that they consented, because this
guy clearly expressed his intentions.

Way to put the money(shot) where your mouth is Murphy. :rofl:


On a serious note though, two victims have come forward which tells me there are probably more out there.

21. Yes -- he was the head of the Committee on Women's Health for BushCo
And a gynecologist. He didn't say it was consensual, he said he just "missed".

Gotta hand it to BushCo, they have a knack for finding the absolute worst person for almost every job.

28. The man is a rapist.
If he had tried to fellate me in my sleep, he would regret it IMMEDIATELY. I'll leave the details to your imagination.

In any case, I would NEVER attend a Republican ANYTHING, so my point is somewhat moot.

31. HOLY CRAP! He's been busted twice for this
:rofl:

http://www.news-tribune.net/breakingnews/local_story_219210228.html

However, the Clark County Sheriff’s Department on Friday began investigating Murphy for alleged criminal deviate conduct — potentially a class B felony — after speaking with a 22-year-old man who claimed that on July 31, Murphy performed an unwanted sex act on him while the man slept in a relative’s Jeffersonville home

...

In 1998, a 21-year-old male filed a similar report with Clarksville police claiming Murphy attempted to perform a sex act on him while he was sleeping. Charges were never filed in that case.

:crazy:

People who are happy and comfortable with their sexuality (hetero or homo) just don't tend to do this sort of thing.

45. My fingers are itching to write my Young Republican relative...
who is an OFFICE HOLDER and was at that Florida convention recently.

How anyone can be a cheerleader for this bunch of holier-than-thou shitheads is absolutely beyond me.

This is beauuuuuuuuutiful. The epitome of hypocrisy given his platform being opposition to gay marriage and the homosexual lifestyle being immoral.

Then again, they could always say that by not living that "lifestyle" (i.e., being a fake hetero in public) is what's important. If you keep it in the closet, it's all good.

:puke:

BTW, when the fuck do people stop being "young" republicons - some of these people are pushing 40!!! Evidently extreme denial is required to be a repug.

46. You know if every closeted Republican came out.
There would probably only be 5 straight members left in the party. Seriously I could see it now, all of them standing around looking at one another saying, "wow, I had no idea you were gay too? Can we stop pretending we are against this gay marriage shit and get it passed now?"

This seems to be amusing to some but I don't find it to be laughable. If a Hetero did this to a female wouldn't there be a Criminal Charge of assault?

50. It's guy on guy so the police probably don't take it serious.
If a guy ever walked into a police department and said he was raped I doubt he would be taken seriously and most likely would be laughed at.
