A Cuyahoga County grand jury today charged a Michigan attorney and political activist with raping a fellow delegate at last July's convention of the National Federation of Young Republicans here. Michael A. Flory, 32, of Jackson, Mich., faces charges of rape, kidnapping, aggravated burglary, gross sexual imposition and witness intimidation.

Police and prosecutors say he escorted a drunken 21-year-old colleague to her hotel room after an evening of partying in the Warehouse District. He attacked her when she was feeling sick and on the verge of passing out, she told police.<snip>

Flory gained attention at age 18 when he gave a televised speech to the Republican National Convention in the Houston Astrodome. He served as vice chairman of the National Federation of Young Republicans and ran unsuccessfully for the top spot in 2003.<snip>


Ah...yes. Another fine example of Republican 'family values'.

[Tin Man]

1. Yep, definitely the Publican M.O. - fuck 'ya when you're down and out

[redqueen]

2. Good for her for pressing charges.

Goodness' knows how many don't...

[katsy]

3. Why are so many republicants criminals?

I mean they have some gargantua antisocial tendencies.

:shrug:

[bananarepublican]

30. Your description has one too many 'a'-s and one too few 'u'-s! n/t

[katsy]

41. Oh I'm sorry...

5. He must have been terribly distraught

because he couldn't get that job picking lettuce in Salinas Valley. And then he tried and failed to get on with a chain motel, cleaning rooms. Just how bad to young republicans in America have it today?

Yes CHRISTIAN CONSERVATIVE VALUES INDOCTRINATED INTO THIS FINE EXAMPLE OF REPUBLICAN INTEGRITY.

Let us hope he gets a very large cellmate.

[villager]

6. Has he found Jesus yet? Announced his date for rehab?

n/t

[Turbineguy]

7. Drunk and incapacitated

a repub's favorite bit o'crumpet.

He should visit the morgue.

[Horse with no Name]

8. Sounds like a requirement to be a Young Republican

Everyone of those little bastards should be in Iraq supporting THEIR President's policy.

[hlthe2b]

9. ahh, yes... those "family values"

Forgive me, Ohioans, but what the heck is in the drinking water in Cuyahoga County? Beyond the electioneering corruption and similar.... Ahh, never mind... Its just those good ole Republicans...:eyes:

[bananarepublican]

31. Are they similar to O'Reilly's concept of San Fransico values? n/t

[lies and propaganda]

10. shock anyone to see Cuyahoga County up there?

not moi ;)

[IronLionZion]

11. Isn't that Kucinich territory?

:shrug:

[knitter4democracy]

19. Sure is!

The Warehouse District is a nice place, and they're trying to keep it that way, too. Good for the prosecutor for taking this on.

[lies and propaganda]

28. thats the county that just flipped over 10000 Kerry votes

to Bushvotes, and just convicted multiple peopel of rigging the elction recount.

Im not sure where Kucinich is, but I definitely know that Cleveland should be, and I think would be, a helluva lot more blue. The whole state of Ohio should vote like Illinois, yet they gave the fucking presidency to the giggling murderer.

[bananarepublican]

32. Nope! They just voted for Kerry before they voted against him!

Their against vote was of course involuntary!

[LynneSin]

40. Give Ohio a break - the Asshole was from Michigan

Just happen to be at a YR convention in Ohio

[PCIntern]

12. But...but...but...

He had OTHER PRIORITIES that night. He's entitled to at lest one rape deferment, two kidnapping deferments, and five intoxication deferments including DUI's.

Bush/Cheney Rules apply here folks. Sorry. Nothing to see here...keep moving.

[bbernardini]

13. 32? At what point do you stop being a Young Republican and just start being a Republican? nt

[trotsky]

16. Chimpy was forgiven for "youthful indiscretions" for actions up to age 40.

Henry Hyde chalked up his affair with Cherie Snodgrass as a youthful mistake - he was 45 when it ended.

So the answer is, you stop being a Young Republican when you stop being a moral hypocrite, which is never.

[Joe Chi Minh]

23. Why are they buried 30 feet down? Because deep down, they're good.

It's really a lawyer joke, but it fits.

[gordianot]

21. When you commit your first felony and not get caught.

[TlalocW]

25. I was wondering the same thing

I mean, I'm 34, and every now and then if I'm in the city where I went to college, I might drop in on a professor or two that I'm friends with and still communicate with, but I'm not a member of any college clubs. Is he actually in college, or is he still hanging with the college republicans because it's part of his modus operandi to hope that one of the college girls will get drunk so he can rape her?

26. You can be a member of the Young Democrats until your 36th birthday

[Hippo_Tron]

33. So technically you could be a Young Democrat and be President of the United States

Very interesting...

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

14. I hope if convicted that he get's the max. I wonder if it's because they are so repressed

that they become deviants?

[ronnykmarshall]

17. Freepers will blame Gavin Newsom.

Gavin is the new Celnis of 2007.

[knitter4democracy]

18. It figures he's from Jackson. That's where the GOP started.

Sorry, Jackson. I also can't forgive you for the crazy streets you have in that town--I get lost every single time I go there.

Good for her for pressing charges, though. What a horrendous jerk. What did he steal, though? What a long and icky list of charges.

[cascadiance]

22. Would this be that guy?

From this picture, it's plain to see where his head is at! :)

[GreenTea]

24. These fucking republicans love to point the finger at others for things they

lustfully want to do, so they accuse others of what they really fantasize and want to do....Those who protest too loudly...Republicans believe if they scream loud enough no one will see through their lies and sickness...inevitably it comes out for many of them...but not enough...they keep hurting people hiding behind their republican sickness.

[Hippo_Tron]

34. I'm shocked, shocked I tell ya

:evilgrin:

[leftofthedial]

36. they should just go ahead and add "disgusting perversion"

to the GOP Party Platform

raping the helpless seems to be their favorite M.O.

[SmallTownIAGuy]

37. That's horrible.

I'll never understand men who act this way. Just because you are young doesn't mean you take advantage of people when they are drunk. Very sad.

[Donald Ian Rankin]

38. Wait for the conviction.

As always, in any case of this kind: unless you have damn good first-hand knowledge, wait for the conviction before you assume guilt. It doesn't matter how horrible the charge is, or if the accused is a Republican - assuming guilt before it's been proved is a bad thing to do.

Remember the Duke case.

[SpiralHawk]

39. republicons lead the nation in deviant, brutal sex

I mean, the George AWOL Bush White House led the way for republicon perverts, by letting a male prostitute -- Jeff Gannon and his leathers -- visit the nation's White House over 200 times according to the official Secret Service record.

Can we blame these young republicon sex deviants, when they are just following the lead of their elder republicon deviants?

I say, Yes. They are all guilty.

republicons = sexual evil doers, as the record shows.
