Ann Coulter says that women claiming to have been raped are just looking for attention.

Ann Coulter appeared on “The Lars Larson Show” last week to discuss the discrepancies in Rolling Stone’s article on an alleged gang rape at the University of Virginia, which Coulter called a “shocking fraud” that proves that “there is no rape crisis” on college campuses. 

Coulter also suggested that rapes only occur in physically violent circumstances, like “being hit on the head with a brick,” and anyone who says otherwise is just trying to get attention. 

“People know what a rape is, and to have girls trying to get attention from Lena Dunham to this poor psychotic at UVA, Lady Gaga claiming she was raped but she didn’t admit it to herself for five years. What major crime do people say, ‘I didn’t admit it to myself’?” she demanded.

The conservative commentator told Larson that growing concerns about how colleges are handling sexual assault incidents are “based on nothing” when there are only a “very few percentage of actual rapists” on campuses and those “are usually Clintons or Kennedys.” 

You know it's one thing for Ann Coulter to say such vile things because clearly she used to be a man, but the fact is that many other female conservatives are  nodding right along with her.

I have no idea how this became a partisan issue, since I have never heard of a rapist checking a victim's voter ID card, however it has become exactly that.

In the interview Coulter also claims not to know ANY victims of rape personally. A claim that I find almost impossible to fathom, as I can think of more than half a dozen friends of mine that were the victims of rape and I'm just a guy.

What a vile human being.

Let's start the day with a little Doonesbury shall we?

I think I have already shared with you all a dozen times or more how much I love Doonesbury, and what a huge part it played in my political point of view.

However I have to admit that as of late I have stopped reading the strips and I am glad to see they are just as pointedly humorous as always.

Really need to catch up on my comic strip reading. Does anybody know if Dagwood and Blondie are still together?

Louie Gohmert for President? Is ANYBODY wingnutty enough to want that to happen? Oh yeah.

Anti-immigrant activist William Gheen, the head of Americans for Legal Immigration, stopped by VCY America’s “Crosstalk” program yesterday to discuss how a coalition of “big tycoons and kings and princes and emperors” is trying to take America down through immigration, thus taking away power from Americans who celebrate Thanksgiving, Christmas and the Fourth of July, and his cunning plan to stop this from happening by having Rep. Louie Gohmert or Rep. Steve King ascend to the presidency. 

“The megawealth of the planet has never really been happy about the United States of America and this entire concept that we the people are self-governed and in charge and that big tycoons and kings and princes and emperors, like Obama’s acting like, are not in charge,” Gheen said. “And they’ve found a way to take over our corporations, to take over our media, to take over our country by facilitating a very costly and deadly illegal alien invasion.” 

He warned that Americans are in “mortal danger” from immigration and from the “growing anti-Christ spirit and anti-Christ movement in this country that is becoming stronger and more emboldened as the traditional conservative center-right Americans are displaced in our jobs and our politics and elections.” 

Aww, the brown people are giving this William Gheen guy a case of the sads.

So does he have some plan for turning this whol thing around?

Oh hell yeah!  

But luckily, Gheen has a solution. When a caller asked about how to “remove Obama from office,” Gheen proposed a simple plan. First, he said, “we’re working on Boehner and McConnell right now because those dominos have to fall and we can move to the next phase.” 

The next phase, he said, would be for Congress to impeach and remove both President Obama and Vice President Biden. 

Then the final piece of the puzzle comes into place: get Rep. Louie Gohmert or Rep. Steve King elected Speaker of the House, so he can ascend to the presidency until the next election is held.

Okay well first off that is the most convoluted plot I have heard in some time, and I have been binge watching the BBC series "Sherlock" for the last several days.

And secondly, though I do not usually consider myself the type to take up arms against my government, if somehow Louie "freaking" Gohmert were to be put in charge of the country you can bet I will be leading the northern resistance out of Alaska. 

And here I thought the worst thing that could happen is for Sarah Palin to be elected President.

Bristol Palin brags that it was her mother who started the stupid idea of trying to impeach President Obama. And this is something to brag about?

So Brancy put up a new post yesterday about how the whole impeachment of President Obama that some Right Wing nutjobs are promoting was all her mama's idea: 

A lot of people disagreed at first, saying it was too risky. But now more and more are seeing that Mom was right. 

President Obama ignores court orders, makes up his own laws, and pretends laws he doesn’t like don’t exist. That’s pretty much the opposite of the President’s job description. 

And now he’s gone and declared his own immigration policy that Americans clearly said they don’t want. 

After his latest action, Fox News, Sean Hannity, and Chris Wallace started talking about impeachment. Mark Levin says he deserves it. And now Congress members are bringing it up.

Yes there are some fringe Republicans, conservative radio talk show hosts, and politicians desperate to get attention, talking about impeachment. However both Mitch McConnell and John Boehner have said there is no way they are allowing a vote like that to come to the floor.

And that is because on some level they realize that impeaching this President would be the best thing they could possibly do for his legacy.

Just think he would be the second Democratic President impeached by the Republicans IN A ROW!

There is no way that comes off looking good to the American voters.

However that rather obvious fact is a little too complicated for Snowdrift Snooki and her little snowflake. This is how Nancy French closed out the post for Bristol and her mom: 

When the president gets out of control, impeachment is how the people can pull him back. Mom says making the case is the easy part — what’s hard is having the guts, courage and political will to do it.

All I have to say is PLEASE MAKE THIS HAPPEN!

If there were a way to make the Republicans waste the next two years fighting to impeach this President it would be a godsend to the Democrats, whose campaign ads would write themselves, and who would use the anger and frustration of the American people to take back not only the Senate, but very likely the House as well.

And if Bristol and Sarah somehow convince the country that it actually WAS the Wasilla Wendigo who first promoted this idea, which I don't think it was, then it is SHE who will be blamed for the benefit that it provides to the Democrats and the destruction that is visited upon the GOP in response.

But it is not going to happen. And that is because virtually all of the people in Washington are significantly more intelligent than this batshit crazy reality actress and her idiotic daughter.

Judge rules that defamation suit against Glenn Beck can proceed. Is it Christmas already?

Courtesy of Salon:

A federal judge on Tuesday denied Glenn Beck’s request to dismiss a libel lawsuit that accuses the conservative talking head of defaming a Saudi man Beck falsely accused of funding the Boston Marathon bombing last year. 

As Josh Gerstein explains, Beck sought to have the lawsuit tossed out on the grounds that Abdulrahman Alharbi, the man who brought the suit, was a public figure because of his presence near the finish line of the marathon, where two bombs exploded, killing three people. As a public figure, Alharbi would have had to clear a difficult hurdle in order for the lawsuit to proceed, proving that Beck intentionally lied or acted with malice in making the accusations. 

But in ruling that the lawsuit could move forward, U.S. District Judge Patti Saris rejected the argument that the mere act of attending the event made Alharbi a public figure. 

“Choosing to attend a sporting event as one of thousands of spectators is not the kind of conduct that a reasonable person would expect to result in publicity,” she wrote. “Quite to the contrary, a spectator at an event like the Boston Marathon would reasonably expect to disappear into the throngs of others, never attracting notice by the press. Because he did not ‘assume the risk of publicity,’ Alharbi does not meet the definition of an involuntary public figure.”

Of course the argument could also be made that Beck essentially MADE Alharbi a public figure when he plucked him from obscurity and essentially blamed him for the terrorist attack.

For those who may not remember Beck claimed to have information from a government source and proceeded to completely manufacture a relationship between the innocent bystander and the Tsarnaev brothers: 

The broadcaster eventually called Alharbi an al-Qaeda “control agent” and the “money man” behind the attacks. “You know who the Saudi is?” Beck asked. “He’s the money man. He’s the guy who paid for it.” 

“Is this speculation or are you reporting something?” a co-host asked. 

Beck ignored the question. “He’s the money man.”

I hope this Alharbi guy takes Beck for millions. 

For those who missed it here is the audio from my visit with the folks over at Turn Up the Night.

As you can hear my I-Phone connection was not the best, and I clearly talk way too fast for radio.

But all in all I think it came out alright.

The Immoral Minority goes talk radio.

Okay so in a few minutes I will be talking to Kenny Pick of Turn up the Night fame, and of course the creator of the brilliant "Thonghazi" which we have enjoyed so thoroughly here at IM.

I have not actually done any radio since way back in 2009, when I made a few appearances local progressive radio with the likes of CC and Shannyn Moore. Therefore I am probably a little rusty.

I do not know exactly what we will talk about, though it seems a fair guess that a certain half term governor's name will pop up a time or two.

If you want to listen just click here, and hopefully there will be no unexpected DDOS attack this time.

Let me know what you think in the comments and of course Kenny Pick has a comment section as well that you can access by clicking the link above.

Hopefully after the show Kenny will provide a Soundcloud link that I can embed so that all who missed it can listen to me hemming and hawing, and repeatedly clearing my throat, for themselves later.

Here is Turn Up the Night's Halloween show that was interrupted by a DDOS attack last night.

Kenny Pick mentions IM a few times in the beginning of the show, and a few times in the middle, but for most of you I think you will be most interested in his revisiting "Thonghazi" and Carol Costello's remarks starting around the 3:28:36 mark.

So many of you probably noticed that the internet feed for the show went off somewhere around the halfway point. (They first mention it around an hour and thirty eight minutes into the broadcast.)

Strangely enough that was right around the time that they noticed they had a visitor from Wasilla, though I would not want to jump to any conclusions.

However I will say that apparently this program had never had anything like this happen to it before, and they were incredibly puzzled as to why it was happening now.

Yep another coinkydink.

Just a reminder.

Our new friend Kenny Pick's Turn Up the Night radio show starts in a few minutes (7-10 PM Eastern time) and there was some talk of discussing not only more about Sarah Palin but also perhaps a mention or two of our favorite blog.

Anyhow if you are interested, and able, you can click here to listen to the show.

The radio show that brought us "Thonghazi" reads their mail. Now why does this sound SO familiar?

So you guys might remember that I posted some soundcloud audio clips from the Kenny Pick show talking about he Palin's drunken brawl over the weekend.

They included Track Palin's "Super Swearing Cut" and "Thonghazi." Both of which were highly entertaining.

Well apparently somebody who was listening took great umbrage at the show's depiction of the family, and in particular Bristol Palin. See if this person, starting around 4:40, sounds familiar.

Oh yeah, I would recognize that brand of insanity just about anywhere.

Right Wing radio in a nutshell.

I have also heard that Obama is bringing down unemployment and gas prices.

Definitely time to grab those pitchforks and torches.
