Obama: Do You Know A Good Rape Victim We Can Use?

Over the top - good grief - maybe she just sent Obama a bracelet instead?

Barack Obama's campaign earlier this month sought to find a rape victim to appear in a campaign commercial, according to an email obtained by Politico.

Kiersten Steward, director of public policy at the Family Violence Prevention Fund, served as a conduit between the campaign and victims and women's advocates.

"Obviously, this is a big ask and I haven’t seen a script but presumably it will be a brief this is what happened to me, we need someone who will fight for women like me, these are the guys to do it," Steward wrote in a September 15th email.   "Again, that’s just my assumption given how these things
usually go."

Is there no shame?

[WAHOO WILLIE]

Wonder what Juanita Broderick is up to.

No shame at all from Obama and his minions, and no shame at all from the Politico whose site seems to be festooned with Obama adverts.

I thought news sites would at least play some sort of lip service to neutrality by not accepting ad revenue from political campaigns: so it is now proof positive that the media (particularly the leftist rag Politico) is in the tank for the commies.

Hey if Barry gets in I will be glad to play the rape victim role for them!

So, the GOP successfully stonewalled the $700 billion bailout. Now the economy is tanking. Merry Christmas.

Oh, but wait, something about Obama running an ad about rape while using a rape victim as a spokesperson. *slaps head* Priorities, damnit!

re: bailout

It will be interesting to see how this will play out politically for McCain/Obama. I sense GOP is on the sh1t list.

"So, the GOP successfully stonewalled the $700 billion bailout."

Hmmm LameLLama wearing a different hat today? One would think that you'd be dancing in the streets that "Da Rich" are going down the tubes....Why I would have expected that you were one of the first to contact your cong to vote against "bailing out Da Rich"

Oh yeah....you actually went to school to learn how to count so you know what is really at stake here. I sometimes getting blinded by your partisan smoke screen.

Along with 95 Democratic patriots!

Maybe Lame-O wants more govt. in his life but I'm happy to keep em out of mine!

They need to do some "real" bi-partisan work on this and quit having San Fran Nan using it for more of her BDS ranting!

[mary]

They need a new bill, one that is clear and isn't full of loopholes for the dems to take advantage of at a later date.

[WAHOO WILLIE]

"AYES

Damn SAC, looks like Llama went back into the cave too soon. I need her to explain this to me because I don't have a degree in moonbat. Maybe you can help. How did the minority party repugs "stonewall" the vote? I went to public school and was taught that 140 is more than 133 and that 95 higher than 65. I dont get this new math....... At public school my answer would have been that a majority of the house killed the measure....not the minority party.

[Nighthawk 72]

IslamoLlama, are you serious. "The GOP successfully stonewalled the $700 billion bailout". How did they do that? The Dems have a majority. All San Fran Nan had to do is get the Dems to vote yes and it would have passed. There is no proof that a bail out is going to fix anything. The policies that got us here in the first place are still in place. There is nothing to stop this from happening again in 10 years. I'm glad it failed.

[mary]

Nighthawk 72, the way things are going ten years is optimistic.

[seekeronos]

@ Nighthawk:

You are EXACTLY right. The bailouts only postpone the inevitable.

What needs to change are the shamefully wicked Democratic-inspired "loot the treasury by default" legislation that forced banks to overextend themselves to people with horrible credit, and then compounding it from there.

May the coming depression be however brutal as it needs to be, but all the more swiftly done with that the free market may clear out the dead littered banks and corporations that fed from the CRA and the FRE/FNM troughs from the floor.

[Nighthawk 72]

mary, you are probably right. I was just making a wild guess. Just like the FED did with the 700 Billion number.

[mary]

Nighthawk 72, a true sentiment. Have been listening to people on Wall Street and people in congress asking very similar questions. Basic questions like "Who are we bailing out?" and making statements like "They haven't been clear."

Funniest comment was from the congressperson who just called Paulson a "day trader" as though that were a dirty word and then called for "bankers, real bankers" to "step up and tell us how to fix this problem."
