TOWNHALL: “ONLY DEMS CAN JOKE ABOUT RAPE…”
By Michael B. Brodkorb | June 19, 2008
“Democrats have cried foul over a fundraiser Clayton Williams planned to hold for John McCain. The reason: In 1990, Williams compared rape to the weather, saying: ‘As long as it’s inevitable, you might as well lie back and enjoy it.’
As the Houston Chronicle reported:
‘The Democratic National Committee demanded that McCain return all money raised by Williams — something the GOP candidate rejected.
‘Offensive, disgusting comments like these cannot be tolerated,’ said DNC communications director Karen Finnery. ‘Sen. McCain’s refusal to return the money Williams raised for him raises serious questions and shows the reality behind his rhetoric about running a new kind of campaign’.’
Of course, the logical question now is whether or not they will hold Al Franken to the same standards. After all, Mr. Williams is not running for office as a Republican — but Franken is running for the U.S. Senate as a Democrat.” Source: Townhall, June 16, 2008

Ah, but in Al’s rape fantasies he drugs his victims first…he’s a compassionate Democrat and all.

Of course they won’t. They’re hypocrites.

I find it very interesting that in the last four hours none of the leftist have defended Franken.

How can they? There aren’t two different kinds of rape jokes. A rape joke is what it is…a rape joke.

Perhaps “none of the leftist” as hottip put it, is the right rapist.

Righty Republicans regularly rant rape.

Fair points. Of course there are the comments that John McCain made in the past – such as “Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because Janet Reno is her father.” Yuck, yuck, yuck.
Personally I think there’s a fair amount of manufactored outrage on this sort of thing on both sides.
