Good lord, Oblivion.
Masterful trolling.
Masterful trolling.
Letterman's joke was bad but it was neither about rape or about Willow Palin.
RDF should sit this one out, as there's really nothing to grasp onto here.

I whinny my fervor lowly, for his length is not as great as those of the Hylian war stallions
Yeah, they can later say it was "Not intended to be a factual statement".

It's called secretly getting an abortion.
I think Michelle Bachman is on the Intelligence Committee...
Sometimes it feels like we live in a bizarro universe and somewhere in some distant parallel universe exists a reality that elects politicians that try to solve their problems with logic and reason. Its too bad our politicians are batshit insane sociopaths.
There is literally no difference between trolling and what some Republicans actually believe.
In a world where our elected officials say women have an anti Rape-semen laser in their vagina...

This basically.
Social Conservatism and basically the extent of the republican party today is the reason why I don't take anyone serious who identifies them self as a republican.
Troll blends into reality these days. It's too hard to parody recent politics.

So if someone gets raped and she gets pregnant it's not rape-rape, just the regular well intentioned rape, right?

I love legitimate science.
The rapist was just giving her a gift from god.

Well see it's like when they used to have witch trials. Rocks and stuff were tied to women's ankles, if you were innocent you died and if you were guilty of being a witch you lived.

Is this real life or a part of "The Campaign" that was cut?
Guys, why does GAF lean so much to the left in politics? Guys? Guys?!
Seriously, reading crap like this coming from conservatives (unfortunately, it's not limited to America, we have our own share of right-wing crazies) makes me wonder, whether those people really believe in what they're saying. Because I can't believe an intelligent person capable of empathy would ever said something stupid and offensive towards women like that. He is literally accusing women, who got pregnant due to rape, of either lying or enjoying the rape (i.e. it wasn't a "legitimate rape").

Arguments between the people who are calling themselves conservatives right now and, basically everyone else, boil down to this:
Batshit Insane Dominionist-Pandering Racist Misogynistic Neocon goes and says something completely whacked out. Advocates abandoning science, living in the dark ages, mass oppression, etc
Everybody Else In the Fucking World turns and goes "what in the literal fuck, this cannot be real."
Defenders of Batshit Neocons rush out and start pointing fingers at everyone, crying "How dare all you hypocrites say anything bad about our people I once heard you smoked in the bathroom in highschool and kicked a poodle at a little girl's birthday!"
And the problem is that the longer this shit goes on, the more and more literally accurate this becomes. It is escalating to the point of absurdity where you almost cannot mock it anymore.
In finger pointing contests, all positions are not created equal. You don't get to stand over a body with a smoking gun, pointing at a child who is yelling for the police, and say the boy is a hypocrite because he currently has his hand in a cookie jar therefore how dare he say anyone else is doing a bad thing.
This always comes up in GAF for threads about the Daily Show. Jon Stewart mocks something on Fox News, conservative member weighs with with "Pah, Stewart is merely a liberal cronie, of course he would say that". When Stewart is a comedian, who also merrily reads off material mocking democrats and liberals when they actually say stupid shit. Meanwhile, the people being mocked are, generally, actually saying the crazy stuff in deadly earnest, promoting it as unvarnished reality and calls to action.
But it seems false equivalency is a popular fallacy for people to employee.

Well think about it this way, if one of your only exemptions for abortion is rape, and you try to claim that pregnancy can't be a result of rape, then you're one step closer to getting rid of it entirely.
Sadly that is very true.

WTF! You know, i wish more republicans say that. The more they go to extremes the more their popularity should shrink. Because honestly i shudder to think some batshit crazies to be in a authoritarian position.
I wouldn't put it past them.They call in the army?

What bothers me most is dudes like these are married and have families. Doesn't stop them from being complete and utter sociopaths though.
Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann really are that dumb.

jesus christ how is this not prosecutable
Where was liberal gaf when Joe Biden said Republicans want to put black people back in chains?
Exactly. CRICKETS.
okay I'll stop now
Most of these Tea Party guys really do believe this shit, which is even scarier.
There's legitimate rape, and theres illegitimate rape. You know the kinda rape that starts out really rapey, but then she starts to like it, so it's not legitimate rape at that point. Women who are legitimately raped have the power to not get pregnant, kinda like how horses have the ability to abort at will.
