Rapeublicans by name, rapeublicans by nurture. IE, worst of the worst.

Does the U.S. have no concept of the “wrong ‘un”? I’m aware US blue collar is not exactly the same as U.K. working class but if I wanted to say “a man who physically forces his girlfriend to have sex when he’s drunk” in working class terms, I’d say “a wrong ‘un” which is shorthand for rapist/dv perp and is considered really bad, only paedophiles rank beneath them.

I don’t know the guy who said this’ background, but I do know Platner wasn’t blue collar and didn’t especially appeal to Blue collar voters (it was college grads who majority voted for him). So to tar all blue collar men with the Platner brush seems insulting to working class men.

Robyn says, "For the record, I would not be remotely surprised to discover that 'most every guy' Adam Carolla knows is a rapist, as it would be hard to imagine who else would hang out with him."

I used to be a big fan of Adam Corolla. I've read his autobiography. As a teenager, Corolla's best friend was a guy who habitually urinated and defecated on people, as a "joke." Most other people, those who don't refuse to even think about behavior like that, see blatant, hyper-aggressive dominance games in that, one any primate would recognize.

I don't know about now, but Corolla was still close to the guy a decade or so ago. He was a part of Corolla's crew when he still had a nationally syndicated radio show.

I thought, in my simplicity, that no one could be more repellent than Bill O'Reilly. How wrong I was. Jesse Watters is by a mile.

My spidey sense is telling me that this testosterone obsession is going to eventually overlap with the birthrate obsession, and the product is going to be some extra stupid Lebensborn bullshit.

Everything these chucklefucks want to do is eugenics, and I won't be convinced this is any different.

Jesse and his bro-magnon buddies like to get juiced up on the hi-test and punch each other in the nuts until they are swolled.

I would pay to have a chance to punch this asshole.

Ta, Robyn. Yes, rape is about power, not sex. These alleged men are scum.

I’m starting to think “conservative” means that you are deeply flawed in some ways, either a bigot, a sexist meathead, a racist, a repressed weirdo longing for some dreamt up era where everything went your way, or a misinformed dipshit, or angry misfit, or some combination of a few of the above, sprinkled with hyper patriotism and religious fanaticism.

But that’s not being very tolerant.

I'm not surprised they are defending it. They're the party of rapists after all.

Quick question for the powers-that-be.

The header pic up top? That's Jesse's O face, right?

Basic drunken blue collar behavior is maybe not desirable for a Senator.

Maybe we put a line in there sayin' anyone juicing gets to be the first one on the beach.

Or however that works in the drone wars.

If you're a Russian on the Ukraine front you get to peddle a bicycle toward the front line.

That sounds like the proper way to a long life full of vodka and cigarettes right there.

Testosterone also can cause your male pattern baldness go into overdrive if you are genetically predisposed. Bald, super horny and sporting man boobs at 30 doesn’t sound very appealing.

And even if it doesn't manage to get through a messed up criminal justice system and end with them incarcerated, if they did it without consent, it is still rape.

They could also give them some estrogen. It would make some of those "guys" feel a lot better, if they could get through their internalized transphobia, but that's the catch of course.

Watters slashed his would-be girlfriend's tires so she would have to ask him to drive home.

Carolla is sick too.

These right-wing men need to just go away.
