Eagle Forum Derides Penn State "Witch-Hunt"

[alp227]

Roger Schlafly, the son of Phyllis Schlafly, took to the Eagle Forum blog today to attack new legislation that would push states to impose penalties on people who do not report child abuse to the police. Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) proposed the bill in the wake of the scandal at Penn State, where a former graduate assistant reportedly failed to report to the police an apparent sexual assault on a child that he had witnessed. In his blog post, Schlafly contends that such a law would create “a nation of snitches,” and that the “mandatory reporting law is a direct attack on the autonomy of the American family.” He even hypothesizes that the case against ex-Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky is “bogus” and part of a “witch-hunt,” writing: “I would not be surprised if this Penn State witch-hunt concludes by the state paying millions of dollars in bogus lawsuits, and no one found guilty of anything. Plus a horrible new anti-family law.”

Well, so much for those "family values" that cons are always howling about. And Phyllis Schlafly infamously said in 2007: "By getting married, the woman has consented to sex, and I don't think you can call it rape."

BTW, Roger lives in a county neighboring mine and also has two personal blogs Singular Values and the science-focused Dark Buzz. He is also a mathematician and computer programmer with a Ph.D. from Berkeley. The motto of his Singular Values blog is "defending the American patriarchy" and among his views:
- "Feminist dogma says that all rape is the same, but I don't agree. I say that raping a virgin is a worse crime than raping a slut, and stranger rape is worse than date rape, and almost any rape is worse than marital rape." () Roger also defended his mother's marital rape statement.
- He's also criticized empathy: "The higher-class folks don't need it and don't want it."
- On voting rights: "No ethnic groups face any significant voting burdens anywhere in the US."
- He has also linked to articles from VDARE and Steve Sailer's blog.

1. Just: OMG!!

[roguevalley]

12. one of phyllis's spawn is gay. is it this one?

[hifiguy]

2. Sounds like his Ph.D. is in

assholery. And according to an article in the NYT today there is increasing evidence that there was a serious coverup of the Sandusky case at PSU. The general counsel never heard a word about any allegations against Sandusky and a quite serious investigation by the campus cops went nowhere when it was kicked up the chain of command.

Lots of people in the PSU football program and administration are gonna be looking at the slammer or huge civil liability if things continue spinning out in that direction.

4. Sounds like the Schlafly family should get a visit from social services.

Anyone who thinks this investigation is bogus is probably an abuser him or her-self.

6. I think that POS is indirectly asking to be raped. nt

[arcane1]

7. WTF is "attack on the autonomy of the American family" all about?

Letting families rape their kids? :shrug:

8. I wonder how he would feel if his daughter or son was molested

and he didn't find out for years because no one 'snitched'.

9. Here in Tennessee

It is the law that ANYONE who witnesses child abuse MUST report it to either protective services, the police/sheriff, or the court system.
