9 New Members to the Democratic Party's Wall of SHAME

[MadBadger]

Dan Boren, Jerry Costello, Mark Critz,Joe Donnelly,Daniel Lipinksi,Mike McIntyre, Nick Rahall, Mike Ross, and Heath Shuler.


They all are CO-sponsors of the bill that would change what constitutes rape in this country when it comes to an abortion. If there are some that I forgot to list because mine may be a little old, feel free to add them below.

I'm sure this isnt the first go around for these despicable men (like Heath Shuler), but they need to be called out and shamed for their vile act.

1. I'd like to see more activisim here on the 4 dems who voted against stopping outsourcing of our jobs

[lonestarnot]

2. And they are?

[MH1]

8. can you give a link to your post on the topic?

[Hello_Kitty]

38. So start your own OP about it. eom

[Buzz Clik]

3. How about a little context? A link? A quote?

Accusing someone of "what constitutes rape" is a bit serious. In the absence of any supporting documentation at all, it's irresponsible.

[COLGATE4]

4. How about reading the post preceding this which is entitled

"Govt. funding allowed only for abortions due to forcible rape" for openers?

[Buzz Clik]

9. Still no link, not even to the thread you reference.

I have no idea where that thread is.

[obxhead]

11. How about linking that post so we don't have to search all of DU

to find it?

Posts move around a lot on this site and viewing lists of them are done in many ways here. Your preceding post may not even appear on the page I found this post on.

[Buzz Clik]

17. I feel your pain, but no help is on the way. Here's a link from Mother Jones:

So many people at DU think we spend our entire lives plastered to the screen with DU flashing in front of us. It can be annoying...

[Angry Dragon]

6. Many OPs on Du talking about the new abortion rules

[MH1]

7. There's several current posts on the topic

Republicans want to change the definition of 'rape' so that some women and girls who are raped cannot use public funding for the abortion of the rapists spawn. And not even use funds from a medical savings account.

[Buzz Clik]

12. That helps. Now at least I have enough keywords to Google this out.

Thanks.

22. House Resolution 3 supported by the American Family Association aka American Taliban

[Enthusiast]

5. They aren't REAL Democrats. nt

[Lars39]

10. They are pro-rapists who have themselves probably date raped women.

[Buzz Clik]

13. Really?

[Lars39]

14. Really.

[Buzz Clik]

15. You certainly have captured the spirit of this thread -- baseless accusations.

Good job.

[riderinthestorm]

16. Yes. If they can only perceive of a "forced" rape as a crime, then it stands to reason

that anything like date rape or incest is well within the realm of their behavior since for them, it's not a crime.

I'd lay money on it now that these guys are definitely rapists. Trying to get the definition changed so their behavior isn't exposed and prosecuted. Why else would they sink to that level? Honestly, I'd love an answer. Why would anyone NOT want incest for example, to be categorized as rape?

[Buzz Clik]

18. Of course "it stands to reason" that not liking a bill defines the supporters of the bill as rapists

How did I miss this before?

[riderinthestorm]

20. They are trying to re-define the meaning of the word "rape".

Why do you think they would want to do that? What possible reason do you see that anyone would want to decriminalize "incest" for example, or re-define it as consensual sex?

[Buzz Clik]

30. You're getting lost. The focus of energy should be on the bill and getting it blocked.

The is a diversion and a pursuit of fools. Stop.

[riderinthestorm]

31. Oh yes, because going after the Congressmen who are supporting the bill is so... what?

Novel? Mavericky? Paradigm busting? I see you haven't answered ANY of my questions. Why are you defending them? I'd ask you to please stop defending them.

I think we can do two things at once. Go after the bill and expose these assclowns as well, assclowns with a woman-hating agenda. Pursuing Congressional fools occasionally pays off. I'll take both routes for 500 Alex....

[Buzz Clik]

32. Because accusing them of being rapists with no foundation for the charges is stupid. n/t

[riderinthestorm]

40. You still haven't answered my questions. nt

[Odin2005]

24. I agree.

[Buzz Clik]

33. This is Michelle Malkin territory. Are we really that shrill? That out of touch?

Are we willing to subject ourselves to much deserved ridicule by populating a thread declaring these people to be rapists with absolutely no substance behind the charges?

Is that what DU has become?

[Odin2005]

36. I'm damn sure they did that shit in college and didn't see a problem with it.

If you don't see a problem with Date Rape then you will eventually commit rape because you think it's just having sex. Kind of like how those that commit spousal rape insist they they are not rapists.

[Buzz Clik]

37. Laughable. You are accusing me of being insensitive to a crime that you have no proof was committed.

This is nucking futs.

[Odin2005]

39. So mindsets don't affect behavior?

There was a study of college-age men a whole back saying that "would you force a woman to have sex with you if it had no legal repercussions" 35% said that they would commit rape. Of course the question given did not have "rape" in it because that would lead to an knee-jerk denial, so they worked it as "force a woman to have sex". Since most acquaintance rapists are never charged they will have no problem doing it.

[Buzz Clik]

41. Ok. I believe that.

And, that's a really good reason to oppose the new legislation.

But, that doesn't justify your baseless accusations.

[MadBadger]

19. Update with an Article for those asking

21. More men deciding what to do about things that mostly happen to women

:puke:

why not change the "D" or "R" next to their names...to an "N"

for Neanderthal:(

[Odin2005]

23. Fuck ALL of them, expell them from the party.

[riderinthestorm]

25. Evening kick nt

[barbiegeek]

26. I want a link to prove it

[barbiegeek]

27. Nevermind didn't read down far enough

[leftstreet]

29. Are these assclowns willing to change the definition of rape when the victims are men?

:shrug:

[MaeScott]

34. K and R. nt

[Vinca]

35. If they included a provision in their law that all children born of women

denied abortions should immediately go to the custody of the father for the next 18 years, the bill would go down in a nanosecond. When men are created with uteri, they can get back to us.

[Flubadubya]

42. My unfortunate Rep., Mike Ross, is always on the wrong side...

of the party, of history, and of ME! :grr::mad:

This is one of the 3 "Dem" idiots to vote with the Rethugs for repeal of the Healthcare bill. :eyes:

I quit voting for him 5 years ago, except this past November. I thought I should at least vote a straight Dem ticket, given the stakes. I honestly believe now I was totally wrong! Sombitch is a low-down Rethug... I don't care what letter is behind his name.
