re: #175 Killgore Trout

Perhaps you can tell me why it’s ok to post about a rape now that a Tea Partier is involved instead of an Occupier. You won;t convinced me but I’d ;like to know how you think it’s now different because of the change in political affiliation.

C’mon Trout, you aren’t stupid, you didn’t miss this part:

Lemon Grove resident Michael John Kobulnicky, 50, a leader in the San Diego Tea Party and former regional director of the Southern California Conservative Party, is under arrest for allegedly kidnapping and raping a local woman on Fiesta Island.

To my recollection you never once linked to a story purporting to show a rape by any of the OWS organizers or officers. The few instances were perpetrated by hangers on or street people who were camping in mere proximity to the protests. Mere physical proximity doesn’t describe someone’s political affiliation, no matter how much you want it to. On the other hand the double crime of kidnapping and rape by a Tea Party leader and former regional director is notable precisely because we can determine the man’s political affiliation with a high degree of certainty.
