I went to Free Repubic so you don't have to. They're in denial

[warrior1]

and blaming the victim, etc. I'm going to take a shower now.

[Fumesucker]

1. In other news: Sun rises in East..

:evilgrin:

[onehandle]

2. Victims are only victims when they are victims of Democrats. nt

[Mz Pip]

3. Blaming the victim

must take some serious mental gymnastics. It sounds like she's a Teabagger; one of them. They can't blame a liberal on this one.

[pnwmom]

4. Yeah, I did, too. It was gross. n/t

[CoffeeCat]

5. I'll join you in the shower...

...I mean...er...I'm headed off for a long, hot shower too.

I was just at Free Republic. These are people who allege that they are Christians of the
highest regard--so much so that their votes are contingent upon their candidates being
very religious.

Yet, they will rationalize Cain's assault? They actually have the gall to blame the
victim and attack her lawyer--like a bunch of immature, punk frat boys.

I thought FR was conservative. I didn't know it was a rabid nest of perverted weasels.

Look at the comments I found over there:

bringbackthedraft from Free Republic said:
"Airbrushing and a few well placed botox injections in the fur patch and derriere will guarantee a nice Hustler Centerfold." (classy, huh?)

Adder from Free Republic said:
..."First of all she didn't work for him... so how can it be workplace harassment ?...at most... he made a pass at her. But I don't even buy that, this woman is just some nut looking for her 5 minutes of fame."

Seek and Find from Free Republic said:
"She didn't call a cab? She felt "harrassed" by this guy but not so much that she was willing to trust being alone in a car with him?" (Wow, I thought caveman ignorance like that was extinguished in the 1970's. Guess not)

There's so much more that is just as ignorant and offensive. These goons are in total
denial. Luckily, these extremists will lose against most Americans--who are rational
and able to think logically.

8. "First of all she didn't work for him... so how can it be workplace harassment?"

It's not, dearie. It's sexual ASSAULT.

[otohara]

13. Good Lord They Are STUPID

this country if full of dumb and dumber

[Matariki]

6. Good. Because I'm really hoping that 2012 is between Obama and Cain.

One, Cain will lose and two, it will be a real turning point in American politics.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

7. Some of them are probably getting a vicarious thrill

at the thought of forcing a woman's head into their laps. In their Cheetos infested lives down in the basement, that vision is probably the closest thing they get to having actual sex. They're probably outwardly denying Cain's actions for appearances sake, while inwardly congratulating him as a loveable rascal.

[redqueen]

9. Maybe I'm just a cynic, but I doubt the opinions displayed there

are only held by those on the far right.

I'm afraid they're unfortunately far more common than I'd like to think.

[Johonny]

10. isn't this what happens to all Republicans

She was a Republican, then she found out what Republican value are. For every Republican laughing at these women and pretending these are just "stories" there will become a "and I was a Republican" moment. Republicanism seems great until someone practices it on you :(

[tallahasseedem]

11. I don't know how you do it...

I have never been over there and never will! Thank you for keeping us informed! :)

[Happyhippychick]

12. Freepers swim in white male privilege and believe they are parched in the desert

Of course they don't understand how a woman can be victimized, they don't have to.

[Jazzgirl]

14. You should scrub really hard with a wire brush too!

:evilgrin:

[Jester Messiah]

15. Yeah, they're going to trash her just like they did Anita Hill.

I hope she's strong enough to weather the storm.

[mokawanis]

16. I applaud your courage

I can't go to FR because I just get pissed off and disgusted. Who are those people? Are they as batshit crazy as they seem?

[onethatcares]

17. yes they are, but alot of times they hide it behind a veneer

of some type until you get some one on one time with them and the stupid comes out in waves.

I can't go to FR either, it just twists my gut to read ignorance,racism and hate.

[aletier_v]

19. I was a republican / libertarian for 30 years

I read FreeRepublic from its start and spent 95% of my time on FR, and 5% on DU. But over the past few years FR has become a vile echo chamber. I can't be associated it with anymore.

Herman Cain is a great example. Freepers speak of "personal responsibility" and accountability, but everybody else EXCEPT Herman Cain is responsible for Herman Cain's problems.

It's sad to watch the Right spinning off into irrelevancy and cognitive dissonance.

[Douglas Carpenter]

20. welcome to DU

[Kurmudgeon]

18. I went to Free Republic ONCE back during the Bush era, never again.
