Lou Dobbs couldn't make his mouth say the R word (rape)

Last nite on Lou's show they did a piece on the Military Sexual Assault Probe - women troops being raped by our own men.

Lou kept saying 'assaulted' (not adding 'sexual') instead of saying 'rape'.

(I kept growling at the TV and saying aloud "It's rape Lou, say the word Rape.")

We hear you daughters, we hear you telling us our own men are raping you.

Fie on the officers of these rapists

1. The idea that calling it rape could undermine support for the crusade

is in my opinion, overcautious.

2. I think they are more worried that people will become confused when...
...Junior starts ranting about rape rooms in Iraq. If you know what I mean?
