article on media matters re: obsession with rape


Posted: Nov 20, 2009

There is an article on media matters listing many examples of the right wing commentators obsession with using the word rape to describe government policies. Warning - its rather lengthy reading!  Makes me think back to psychology classes . . . and what this says about such individuals.

Thank you for the compliment. Here's one definition of "elite":

"The best or most skilled members of a group"
And here is the one we are talking about! - sm

The term elitism is also sometimes used to denote situations in which a group of people "claiming to possess high abilities or simply an in-group or cadre grant themselves extra privileges at the expense of others."

Silencing All Opposition Voices: Inside The Media Matters Aug 08, 2017
Even to casual observers, it has been obvious for months that the left is orchestrating a tightly-coordinated campaign to undermine and delegitimize the current presidential administration. As an extension of the decades-long campaign to wrestle the narrative away from conservatives, independents and centrists, they’re smearing right-leaning commentators with anything they can find. In the take-down of Bill O’Reilly and Monica Crowley and attempted hit on Sean Hannity, for example, it’ ...

My father, who saw some pretty terrible sights during World War 2, used to frequently tell me that bad things happen in war, but I don’t think he ever ran into anything like this. A story breaking over the weekend reveals that our “Afghan allies” have been engaged in a sick practice referred to as “boy play” in the common parlance. This essentially translates into abducting, imprisoning and raping young boys, keeping them as sex slaves. As if that wasn’t shocking enough, it’s appar ...

I believe and feel free to call me a pessimist, that was part of a purpose by "much larger powers" to ...
