- Apokalyps2547, on 11/02/2009, -16/+379Vitter: "But Obama..."
No, Senator. You. You voted to silence rape victims. - mynameisteejay, on 11/02/2009, -13/+259Ah, the Grand Old Party. Pro-life, pro-family, and pro-"STFU, rape victims!"
- Nakket, on 11/02/2009, -10/+248It appears the republicans can't even ***** answers anymore.
- AngryDeuce, on 11/02/2009, -13/+245It's amazing what spineless ***** cowards these people are. Be a ***** man and admit what you did, Senator...you voted against rape victims. You made your ***** bed...
- unhg, on 11/03/2009, -6/+194""Do you realize President Obama was against that amendment, and his administration was against that amendment?" Vitter asked.
"But I'm not asking Obama, I'm asking you, senator," the woman said.
At that point, Vitter walked briskly away from the woman and out of the town hall."
If the blame game fails, run. The classic spineless coward way out. - DangerCollie, on 11/02/2009, -9/+172Republicans have carried opposition to the mindless extreme. They would oppose anything the president supported even if it was free oxygen.
Republicans now seem to stand for:
Pro-life
Pro-war
Pro-Haliburton - HerRedRing, on 11/03/2009, -6/+133"Lady, you can cry all you want. I was paid a lot of money."
- Lomstradamus, on 11/02/2009, -9/+123Vitter is a ***** impotent coward! I hope rape victims approach him everywhere he goes for years and keep hammering him with the question "Why did you vote against rape victims rights"?
- rabidjester, on 11/03/2009, -7/+100Good lord - he's a senator and he actually tried to talking point his way around his constituent.
- yaosio, on 11/03/2009, -6/+94He's trying to protect Glenn Beck, who has been accused and raping and murdering a young girl in 1990 by some people.
- inactive, on 11/03/2009, -8/+96Party of Family Values™
- JoeParanoid, on 11/02/2009, -7/+92"But Obama..." I wanted to hear the end of that sentence. I can't imagine how that one was going to spin out.
- MrColdheart, on 11/02/2009, -8/+86That coward couldn't even defend his own position.
- Kaegro, on 11/03/2009, -12/+66Too bad this guy hasn't been violently raped. There is still time people.
- banderwocky, on 11/03/2009, -3/+54He tried everything EXCEPT answering her questions truthfully.
- pintomp3, on 11/03/2009, -7/+57David Vitter's version of family values seems to include prostitution and gang rape.
- inactive, on 11/03/2009, -3/+48Don't forget Pro-Gaybashing.
- Diefree, on 11/03/2009, -2/+45This woman was raped then had 30 scumbags vote AGAINST the rights of rape victims working for KBR. There's no defense to this no matter what lies GOP apologists tried to tell.
- magstheaxe, on 11/03/2009, -4/+46In fairness, the Obama Administration did oppose the Amendment.
HOWEVER, they and the DoD opposed it because they way it was written, it would be very hard to enforce. They actually recommended a stronger, broader bill that would prohibit ALL such arrangements in any business transaction entered into within the jurisdiction of the United States.
The GOP people who voted against it? They just wanted to protect a company's right to have arbritation in their contracts. And corporate arbitration, we all know, rarely finds in favor of the employee.

- Diefree, on 11/03/2009, -5/+44Cause it's what happened and Vitter really is a scum bag just like the 29 other senators that voted against the bill?
- Daedalus81, on 11/03/2009, -4/+39Watch the video, idiot.
- wowsah156, on 11/03/2009, -8/+39Puttiing politics aside, Senator Vitter is just a lousy human being. Seriously. Its politicans like him that keeps the Saw horror movie franchise in fresh victims.
Senator Vitter do the decent thing. Write your resignation letter tonight, and then discharge a pistol into your skull. - doomestic, on 11/03/2009, -3/+34They're not Pro-Life, that's for sure. They just think they are.
- MiaCulpa, on 11/02/2009, -7/+37Well...at least he didn't ask her to put a diaper on him I guess.
- blackinthmiddle, on 11/03/2009, -1/+31That's their response to everything. Deflect rather than own up to the ***** they've done.
Look, I understand that people (unfortunately) view their political party like a baseball or a football team and passionately defend it even when there's simply no defending it. But to defend a company that tries to defend its male employees gang raping a woman? They're simply not human beings. - seltaeb4, on 11/03/2009, -4/+34And we all know how fond David Vitter is of *****.
- wipis, on 11/03/2009, -2/+31Get raped then be forced to take the baby to full term (if your abortion is blocked). 9 months of pregnancy, missed work and medical bills. Good thing were funding government health care to help women deal with it... oh wait
- seanayb, on 11/03/2009, -3/+32Fallacious logic--the governing principle of American politics.
- SookIt, on 11/03/2009, -1/+30I bet if you had a daughter and some dudes raped her you might feel more compelled to protect womens rights, but seeing as you are a right wing wacko who allows others to control your thoughts perhaps you would see being raped as a lesson or something, im sure thats in the bible somewhere you nutbag : )
- fatherdoom, on 11/03/2009, -1/+30No they're pro-life, as long as you're a fetus and your parents can afford health insurance. Once you're born, its then that they dont give a *****.
- AngryDeuce, on 11/03/2009, -0/+25Holy *****, homercles337, PLEASE tell me you're not defending this guy...are you a serial rapist? Do you actually agree that we should do business with companies that allow their employees civil rights to be violated by refusing them a trial and forcing them into contractual arbitration?
What would I do? Well, for one, I would be a ***** man and own up to what I did, and not walk away like a little bitch. He knows what he did, he knows that people are gonna look at him like he's a ***** scumbag, and he slinks away out the door when the questions get tough and his *****-o-meter can't muddle through...more then likely to the back seat of a car driven by an employee of KBR where an envelope full of hundreds waits for him.
I can't wait to see this *****, and all the other people that voted against that bill, out on their ass. - Stingwolf, on 11/03/2009, -1/+25I don't think pro-life and pro-war are compatible ideologies, but no one ever said politicians weren't hypocrites.
- denizen42, on 11/03/2009, -0/+23Greed erodes compassion.
- fatherdoom, on 11/03/2009, -2/+24Have you ever heard of manditory non-disclosure? No, of course you havent. Arbitration makes everything better, right?
You are either blind enough to believe that rapists dont belong behind bars or a you are personally a rapist with deep pockets. Qui tacet consentire videtur. - otherwiseyep, on 11/03/2009, -1/+23I agree. Why isn't more attention being paid to the Senator's impotent equivocations and mendacity?
- theoccupation, on 11/03/2009, -0/+21I hope he watches this video just once, to see just how ***** up that is.
Here's whats going through is mind in slow motion:
Ah, ***** the cams are on, and this lady is grilling me about that ***** vote. I know, I know, I'll talk over her and won't even bother to listen to her.
*****, it didn't work, she's calling me out. ***** what do I do now. I know, I know, I'll pin this on Obama and make him a villian, still not bothering to account for my actions. Damn it didn't work!!!
***** *****, WHY WON'T THIS BITCH SHUT UP??!?!?!?!?!? I DON'T GIVE A ***** IF YOU'VE BEEN RAPED, I CARE THAT YOU'RE MAKING ME LOOK BAD, AND VERY UNCOMFORTABLE!!! LOOK LADY I'M BEING POLITE BECAUSE I HAVE TO, BUT THE TRUTH IS YOU'RE ABOUT TO SEE WHAT I'M REALLY ABOUT AND HOW I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR STORY. SO I'LL SHOW YOU MY CONCERN LIKE THIS.....
::runs away:: - otherwiseyep, on 11/03/2009, -3/+22Dugg for being least popular comment.
- rearlgrant, on 11/03/2009, -2/+20cause it's not a lie wrapped up as "fair and balanced."
- fiatjustitia, on 11/03/2009, -0/+18The (R) is for Rape.
See you in 2010, you fascist Neanderthals. - sil3ntm0s, on 11/03/2009, -3/+20WOW, that's really F***ed up.
I hate the GOP even more now. F***ing insensitive scumf***s. - Malnilion, on 11/03/2009, -2/+19I didn't see any sort of fear or embarassment in this senator as he walked away...I think he honestly thought he had made a sufficient reply and was determined to writer her off as an ignoramus.
- Kaegro, on 11/03/2009, -3/+20...what?
- V1ruk, on 11/03/2009, -2/+19Please use smaller word when referring to the republican party, they can not understand such complicated abstracts, such as the idea of hypocrisy, it is above their puny brains.
- fuzzynyanko, on 11/03/2009, -2/+19So, you are equating that with protecting a rape victim?
- fatherdoom, on 11/03/2009, -1/+17Agreed, boom. Walter from the Big Lebowski says it best:
"So you have no frame of reference here, Donny. You're like a child who wanders into the middle of a movie and wants to know (whats going on)"
Lets catch you up to speed, dark. The issue here is that defense contractors, like Haliburton, force women to sign contracts making arbitration mandatory in all sexual assault cases, thereby covering their asses when said rape does occur. The women literally cannot put the rapists behind bars, and are given a check and told to go away. The Franken bill prevents those contractors who receive federal funds from engaging in these practices. 30 GOP senators voted no on it. Get it now? - blackinthmiddle, on 11/03/2009, -2/+18Ah, a classic (read - predictable) GOP defense tactic. If you don't like the message, shoot the messenger.
- ThantiK, on 11/03/2009, -2/+18Dugg for truth.
- caramba421, on 11/03/2009, -1/+16"Yeah, well if she wasn't wearing that skirt..."
