BREAKING: Top GOP fundraiser arrested for rapes

by blue aardvark

Utah authorities on Wednesday accused a high-profile Republican fundraiser of raping women at a cabin where he hosted events for some of the biggest names in politics in the state.

The Salt Lake Tribune reported on Thursday that prosecutors charged GOP fundraiser Greg Peterson with 23 felony counts, including the rapes of four women. Jail records online showed that he was still being held on $750,000 bond.

And here is a picture of this alleged rapist shaking hands with Mitt Romney.



Here is a link to Petersen's Facebook page, which prominently features the Romney photo. He's a financial planner who studied at BYU and claims to speak Spanish and Russian.
And this must be kept in mind.

None of the alleged crimes appear to be directly connected to Peterson’s political activities or the candidates he hosted fundraisers for.

Wonder if he's one of Mitt's bundlers?

1. Not a laughing matter, but cue the Nelson HAHA pic.

[Tarheel_Dem]

2. Yuck!

[BamBamBane]

3. Republicans and their so-called "values"

No wonder no one respects Republicans...Sheesh. This evil shit happens over and over and over from Republican perpetrators...

[freshwest]

7. An ugly pattern, but they all fit the authoritarian psychological profiles.

[ProSense]

35. Yup! n/t

[siligut]

37. Yes, and that is a large part of the problem

When authoritarianism is reinforced in a group environment, like church or politics, it emboldens some of those with weaker character to act on impulses that might have stayed subdued otherwise.

I liken them to dogs that run in packs.

[freshwest]

38. +1

[Lint Head]

4. Add this to the list of GOP sexual deviants.

9. Not To Mention

The huge amount of convicted repig child molesters.

5. Oh My!!

What a bunch

[mary195149]

6. is this guy a mormon? n/t

[Zyzafyx]

18. Dunno

But you can bet he's a "Good Christian" of some kind!

[Jessy169]

23. Most likely. He studied at BYU.

That was a blurb on one of his self-promotion graphics that I saw somewhere -- I think.

[Common Sense Party]

32. Yes. He is. He won't be for long.

[bongbong]

8. Very unusual event

A repig getting caught.

(not rape parties, those are normal for the Greedy Old Pedophile party)

[krispos42]

10. K&R n/t

[Blanks]

11. Is this the guy he was supposed to be saving the Olympics from?

Or should we keep looking?

[Matariki]

12. Someone should introduce him to this woman

[Aerows]

19. LMFAO

I shouldn't laugh, but I did. It's a match, as far as I'm concerned

[bunnies]

13. So, Mitts pallin around with rapists?

just sayin.

[stlsaxman]

14. "23 felony counts, including the rapes of four women..."

fucking monster.

[liberal N proud]

15. Republican Family Values plan

[tclambert]

16. Isn't rape completely consistent with Republican philosophy?

Certainly the Ron Paul/Texas Libertarian wing. Their fundamental law is "Might makes Right." One person selfishly taking advantage of another--that's fine. If she can defend herself, that's OK, too. If she can't, well, then she doesn't really have the right to be safe then. The government should not try to impose additional burdensome restrictions on his behavior, either. That would be taking away his freedom--to rape others. Since corporations are people, too, my friend, they get to rape EVERYBODY!

[Iliyah]

25. GOP family values. . sucking up to Mittens

and Mittens won't say anything.

If these women had gotten preggers the Gawd fearing goppers would say "hell no" to them to abortions.

Sinful person and probably hiding behind the bible.

[TexasTowelie]

31. It certainly was when Clayton Williams ran for governor of Texas

against Ann Richards in 1990.

The Republican gubernatorial nominee apologized today for an off-the-cuff remark suggesting that some victims of rape should ''relax and enjoy it.''

The candidate, Clayton Williams, had initially played down the remark as being a joke.

Women's groups and political opponents of Mr. Williams strongly criticized the candidate for the comment.

It ''questions his ability to understand the kinds of problems faced by the people of Texas,'' said Ann Richards, the State Treasurer and a runoff candidate for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination. ''Rape is a crime of violence.''

[Aerows]

17. Is there a depravity

That the Romney camp isn't associated with? My word.

[RadiationTherapy]

20. This will be a difficult and painful time for the victims. I hope they are well and well supported.

I wonder if, like Penn State, there were people who turned a blind eye on this man. I wonder if anyone suspected or knew.

[Axiomat]

21. Looks like Romney's been "pallin' around" with rapists

Just sayin'

[Jessy169]

22. Birds of a feather flock together

One rapes women. The other rapes companies and their employees. Which one do you want as your president?

[riverwalker]

24. palin' around with rapists

why does rMoney hate America and women?

[Zorra]

26. I feel so sorry for those poor women he raped, and most likely scarred for life.

What a sick, mean, horrible thing to do to another person.

[Common Sense Party]

27. I actually met this guy. I knew immediately he was slimy.

I didn't know he was THIS slimy.

[LaurenG]

28. :(

*sigh*..

[ChairmanAgnostic]

29. "B L U N D E R S," not "bundlers."

Just saying.

Imagine if he was a Democratic bundler. The MSM would NEVER let this issue go. Demands for return of money, attacks on Obama, and more. But in this case, I suspect silence is golden.

[A Simple Game]

30. Of course any monies recieved from this slimebag

will be donated to an appropriate charity. Isn't that right Mitt? It's what is expected from the Democrats isn't it.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

33. Good goddamn point.

[Shankapotomus]

34. Stop raping people!

Stop raping people! Stop raping people!

[seabeyond]

36. ugly ass creep. the arrogance on that face. nt
