NJ Republican candidate tells reporter, "Hope. You. Get. Raped. By. A. Syrian. Refugee. :)"

Republicans really think like this...all the time (see picture below). This is the rhetoric I get from numerous blog trolls, hitting on multiple points all at once, pretending they somehow relate.

This directly ties in with a previous post where former reporter Soledad O'Brien accused the media of "normalizing" white supremacy and bigotry. Her comments should stop the news media in its tracks, forcing a change. Yea, like that'll happen:
Mike Krawitz, a New Jersey Republican who is running for a spot on the West Deptford Township Committee this fall, told Daily Beast reporter Olivia Nuzzi on Facebook that he hopes she gets raped by a Syrian refugee.

But that's not all, Krawitz seems to have an unhealthy admiration for...another man, Trump. I think Martin Freeman is an incredible actor, but you won't find one picture of him on my Facebook page, much less a bizarre collage like the one below:
A look at Krawitz’s Facebook page shows that — surprise! — he’s a really big fan of Donald Trump. In fact, his Facebook photos section consists almost exclusively of Trump-related pictures:

Fond du Lac School Censorship Teaching Students what life is like under Conservative Authority Oversight.

Hey, it’s just a "minority of people sensitive to the word censorship," that’s all.

I’m beginning to see a pattern here.

Despite a million recall signatures and hundreds of thousands of protesters at the Capitol, Scott Walker described them as simply representing a minority viewpoint.

Now the strongly Republican area of Fond du Lac wants to make sure their kids learn how to avoid important issues,  just like they do, making things like our rape culture off limits. 
jsonline: Now after a public outcry over Fond du Lac School Board members on Monday heard from students, residents, free-speech advocates and rape survivors who flooded the meeting to speak against enforcing a censorship policy of student media, according to the Action Reporter Media.

"The Rape Joke," a story in the February issue of Cardinal Columns … detailing what she called a "rape culture." It featured the stories of local sexual assault survivors. The article initially generated positive feedback, including from faculty members, many of whom now are criticizing the district's decision to enforce the prior-review policy.
Here's the kicker and amazingly dictatorial view that mirrored Scott Walker's disrespect for protesters:
School Board member Eric Everson told Action Reporter Media that the policy is not censorship, just "adult oversight." "This type of thing garners big news because you have a very active and involved minority of people who are very sensitive to the word censorship," Everson said.
Watch Fond du Lac Superintendent James Sebert give his lame reason to censor the students; producing pieces that represent and protect the school district? What does that mean? Following Sebert are a few students stunned by the attack on their paper and their hard work. FDL Reporter:


This insulting behavior by adults may be even a bigger lesson for these students:
Former state Attorney General Peg Lautenschlager (said) “A commonality among sex assault victims is their fear of speaking out. Ms. Kumar was able to articulate for them on their behalf the horrors of what happened to them,” Lautenschlager said, referring to the three female sex assault victims in Kumar’s story. “And then some days later Ms. Kumar finds out that she (and her fellow writers might occasionally) be silenced because somehow her speaking out on behalf of these victims was inappropriate for school conversation.”
You can get more insight into this issue at the Wisconsin Soapbox, always great stuff.

Mourdock blames God for Rape Victims Babies.

This should finally put an end to the fiction the tea party cares more about the economy than wedge issues. Keep in mind, Republican senate candidate Richard Mourdock is just a reflection of what is discussed behind closed doors. No apology, no retraction or clarification, can change how conservatives really feel about rape, abortion, and women's rights.
Huffington Post: "I struggled with it myself for a long time, but I came to realize that life is that gift from God. And, I think, even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen," Mourdock said.

Mourdock further explained Tuesday night after the debate that he did not believe God intended the rape, but that God is the only one who can create life. 
It was pretty clear what Mourdock meant and said:



Proving he's a good judge of character and a supporter of the "pro-life movement", here's Mitt Romney's endorsement:

Akin's just like every other Republican.

Rep. Todd Akin thinks rape might be legitimate at times. But he's obviously not alone, since the Republicans are the closest thing to the ultimate alien evil, the Borg. Can you just imagine what these guys are saying behind our backs?


Seattletimes: Rep. Todd Akin, the newly christened GOP Senate nominee in Missouri, said in an interview that aired Sunday that "legitimate rape" rarely causes pregnancy.

Explaining his no-exceptions policy on abortions, Akin was asked why he opposes abortion even when the pregnancy is the result of rape.

"First of all, from what I understand from doctors, (pregnancy from rape) is really rare," Akin told KTVI-TV in a clip posted to YouTube by the Democratic super PAC American Bridge. "If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down."

Akin added: "But let's assume that maybe that didn't work or something. I think there should be some punishment, but the punishment ought to be on the rapist and not attacking the child." Akin issued a statement Sunday saying he misspoke.
But there's more:
LA Times: “Akin previously was the co-sponsor of a bill to redefine rape,” McCaskill said. “And it was recently reported that Akin opposed a state law against spousal rape because it might be used as a tool against husbands in a ‘messy divorce.’ ”
