Democratic lawmaker apologizes for
suggesting women afraid of rape
can’t be trusted with guns

Democratic Colorado state Rep. Joe Salazar apologized Monday for suggesting some women are so unjustifiably afraid of being raped that they are liable to start shooting wildly. Salazar, arguing in favor of disarming college students, said Friday on the Colorado House floor that women fearing rape may suddenly and haphazardly ”pop a round at somebody.” “It’s why we have call boxes; it’s why we have safe zones; it’s why we have the whistles — because you just don’t know who you’re gonna be shooting at. And you don’t know if you feel like you’re gonna

Comments:
I look forward to the same treatment of Salazar as Richard Mourdock received from the media because of his stupid comment. s/o ´It’s why we have the whistles´??? Oh my.

If a rapist thinks his proposed victim may start shooting wildly, he will think twice before attempting the deed.
And to victims of an attack, be sure one shot is carefully aimed at the crotch.

What the he** are ‘call-boxes’ and just where might I find one! And what determines a ‘safe-zone?’ And of course everyone will come running when they hear a whistle…just like they respond when a car alarm goes off!

As Debra used to say to Raymond: “Idiot!”

It’s a good thing politics pays a living wage, otherwise these fools would starve to death.

another stupid

I would think all women would be deeply offended by this. Doesn´t matter if he apologized: it is his belief that women aren´t to be trusted with a firearm. Where is the outrage from all the women´s organizations? Where are the protests and picketing at his office?
Crickets.

Not an apology. A typical Democrat "I´m sorry if anyone was offended..." nonsense. They get away with this stuff all the time.

I haven´t seen even one of my leftist FB friends condemn him for what he said. Not one. It´s like it didn´t happen.

Rape is used as an exception to break down the principle against abortion so why wouldn´t it work to invalidate gun control? What difference does it make? Any argument that permits abortion is good and any argument that supports the second amendment is bad. This is what passes for a principled position today!


Reply 12 - Posted by: fritzilou, 2/19/2013 10:13:53 AM     (No. 9184664)

Oh no, can it be that a Democrat can also make foolish remarks.... Will the press drum him out of his humanity and his job like they did to Akin and the others they didn´t like. Don´t hold your breath.

Yes call boxes are wonderful for reporting a rape

So, are the women supposed to ask the guy to pause a moment because they gotta make a call? Call boxes and whistles? Is this the best he´s got? What a moron.

If Joe is pushing this garbage because of fear of future mass shootings, I would remind him that males of various ages have been the recent shooters.


Reply 15 - Posted by: Cavallodifiero, 2/19/2013 11:01:17 AM     (No. 9184780)

Is using as call box or a whistle what Salazar tells his wife and or daughters? This is a real S for brains if I ever heard one.

Good Grief, what is going on in Colorado? Leftists/Liberal/Progressive take-over of common sense?

Power in the hands of Demonrats in Colorado must be a very scary thing.

the name of the other politician who talked softly about rape. Wasn´t his last name Aikin? And wasn´t he keel-hauled for his remarks? And why isn´t this dumber than dumb "lawmaker" being keel-hauled? Oh forgive me, hes a dem. A really stupid dem/human being.

A caller into Glen Beck´s radio show suggested that the way for women to prevent rape is for them to wear Tee shirts that read, "Rape Free Zone."

You want to win the gun control argument, get women involved and empower them with guns.

It is a well-known liberal fact that a young woman dead in a ditch, raped and strangled with her own panty hose, is far preferable to a young rapist dead in the ditch with a hole in his head from the young woman´s gun.

Someone needs to take one of those call boxes and shove it up this tools butt.

I can think of a few places in the Denver area where we could take Mr. Salazar, throw him out of the car and let him check out the callboxes, safe zones and whistles. Getting raped would be the least of his problems.

All the women have to do is run to a rape-free zone. /s

Salazar has to go. How could anyone be so stupid as to say what he said about rape victims. Get him out of office now, he is unfit to serve he is that dumb.

Colorado sheriffs seek to

file lawsuit against state

DENVER — Colorado sheriffs upset with gun restrictions adopted in the aftermath of last year’s mass shootings filed a federal lawsuit Friday, challenging the regulations as unconstitutional. The lawsuit involves sheriffs from 54 of Colorado’s 64 counties, most representing rural, gun-friendly areas of the state. The sheriffs say the new state laws violate Second Amendment protections that guarantee the right to keep and bear arms. Opponents are criticizing the lawsuit as political maneuvering. The filing targets Colorado laws that limit the size of ammunition magazines and expand background checks. The regulations

WASHINGTON – Jay Devereaux hadn’t paid much attention to the daily drumbeat of partisan politics in D.C. He wasn’t a Washington nerd, and didn’t know who said what during congressional hearings -- nor did he care. But when news broke that the government was using taxpayer money to bail out Wall Street banks, he started paying attention and didn’t like what he was hearing. So the Florida father and information technology specialist decided to form a group, Unite in Action, to educate people in his area about the issues, he said.

First Lady Michelle Obama has expanded her anti-obesity campaign to museums, enlisting them to offer “healthy food options,” and change their menus. Mrs. Obama’s “Let’s Move!” initiative is now calling for museums, zoos, gardens, science and technology centers to “join the call to action,” to decrease obesity among children. The first lady is recruiting these institutions to join the “Let’s Move! Museums and Gardens” project because of their power to “influence real and sustained behavior change” on the eating habits of kids. “With their impressive reach and great potential for impact, museums and gardens can launch community

During a House Ways and Means Committee hearing today, Rep. Aaron Schock, R-Ill., grilled outgoing IRS commissioner Steven Miller about the IRS targeting a pro-life group in Iowa. "Their question, specifically asked from the IRS to the Coalition for Life of Iowa: ‘Please detail the content of the members of your organization’s prayers,’" Schock declared. “Would that be an inappropriate question to a 501 c3 applicant?” asked Schock. “The content of one’s prayers?” “It pains me to say I can’t speak to that one either,” Miller replied. After Schock pressed him further, Miller explained that although

WASHINGTON — Congressional Republicans, not resting with the Internal Revenue Service scandal, are moving to broaden the matter to an array of tax malfeasances and “intimidation tactics” they hope will ensnare the White House. Republican charges range from the clearly questionable to the seemingly specious, and they grow by the day. On Friday, lawmakers sought to tie the I.R.S. matter to the implementation of President Obama’s health care law, which will rely heavily on the agency. Whether they succeed holds significant ramifications for Mr. Obama,

HHS:´Telework´ Gives Gov´t

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says it wants as many as 20 percent of its workers to "telework," use an "alternative work schedule," or do both, in order to "reduce green house gas emissions," decrease "employee stress," and give these government workers more time for "planning and preparing healthy meals." So says one of the HHS "performance measures" detailed in an appendix to the department´s latest strategic plan. HHS´s performance measure "4.D.05" says: "Increase the percent employees on telework or on Alternative Work Schedule." Telework means working from home via phone and computer.

Bloodletting, in the form of firings, dismissals, resignation, and expulsions, is a tribal rite in political Washington. It is most often used by the powerful on anyone less powerful as a symbolic sacrifice. Steven Miller, the now former acting commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service, is the latest victim of ritual sacrifice. This week the Obama White House demanded his resignation to demonstrate the president’s “anger” at news that the IRS targeted conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status for added review and slow approval. Next, we’ll watch as Congress takes up the bloodletting knife.

Nice try, Mr. President. Feigning anger, firing an unknown bureaucrat and fleeing the podium won’t cut it with voters, or stop the hemorrhaging of the scandals that have spawned a Watergate-like feel around the Obama administration. There was a certain panicky look about the way the president quickly delivered a rare evening White House statement to try to quell the growing outrage over the IRS targeting of Tea Party groups. The move showed how damaging the scandal has become to Obama’s second term and maybe even his presidency. But Obama took no questions and, more importantly,

Watching President Obama trying to dodge raindrops and responsibility yesterday reminded me of the moment when Dorothy pulls back the curtain and discovers that the Wizard of Oz is “just a man.” Stripped of his spell of mystery and power, the wizard is worse than mortal. He’s a fake. So it was with Obama in the Rose Garden. His performance was tired and trite, ordinary to the point of dull. His veneer of passion was so transparent that you could see him trying to summon his old-time magic by pushing the buttons

STANDING BEFORE reporters Thursday, President Obama declined an invitation to compare the recent scandals weighing down his administration with those that forced President Nixon to resign in 1974. So allow us to do the work for him: There is no comparison. Nixon, in a series of crimes that collectively came to be known as Watergate, directed from the White House and Justice Department a concerted campaign against those he perceived as political enemies, in the process subverting the FBI, the IRS, other government agencies and the electoral process to his nefarious purposes. Mr. Obama has done nothing of the kind.

The State Department, under Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton, created an arrangement for her longtime aide and confidante Huma Abedin to work for private clients as a consultant while serving as a top adviser in the department. Ms. Abedin did not disclose the arrangement — or how much income she earned — on her financial report. It requires officials to make public any significant sources of income. An adviser to Mrs. Clinton, Philippe Reines, said that Ms. Abedin was not obligated to do so. The disclosure of the agreement that Ms. Abedin made with the State Department comes as her husband,

The White House on Wednesday released 94 pages of emails between top administration and intelligence officials who helped shape the talking points about the attacks in Benghazi, Libya, that the CIA would provide to policymakers in both the legislative and executive branches. The documents, first reported by THE WEEKLY STANDARD in articles here and here, directly contradict claims by White House press secretary Jay Carney and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that the revisions of those talking points were driven by the intelligence community and show heavy input from top Obama administration officials, particularly those at the State Department.

On Thursday´s NBC Today, in a desperate attempt to deflect from the scandals engulfing the Obama administration, co-host Savannah Guthrie wondered: "I read a headline yesterday that said Republicans see blood in the water. That they see a president who´s very vulnerable politically. Is there a danger that they will overreach?" Chief White House correspondent Chuck Todd agreed with the slanted premise: "There is.

President Obama’s press conference in the rain was not a success, if by success, his supporters would mean an event which convinces anyone who doesn’t work for him that he’s getting ahead of the scandal deluge. The sight of a Marine holding an umbrella over his head only added to the weirdness of the event. So what did we learn? 1. He has full confidence in Attorney General Eric Holder, the man who purportedly recused himself (whenever) without putting it in writing (whatever).
