It is astounding that in the Year 2010, so many people still treat the word rape as if it’s a clever description from everything from taxes to actions at sporting events. The pictured cartoon made the rounds on the heels of the passage of health care reform. At seemingly all levels in the world of politics, many consider “rape” to be a true conversational gem:
* “President Obama feeds people poison, giving them the idea that they are entitled to take from the wealthier who have lived and worked in a democracy that understand that capitalism is the only truth that keeps a nation healthy…
a socialistic, Marxist teaching, and with it he rapes this nation…” — Actor Jon Voight.
* “The spectacle of a far leftist president literally forcing socialized medicine down the throat of an unwilling center-right America is reminiscent, perhaps more than any other contemporary metaphor, of date rape.” — David Kupelian, WorldNetDaily
* “Do you people in the White House, do you people in the media, do you ever stop to consider that you have an intelligent, informed electorate who simply doesn’t like being raped, and being raped is what is happening to people in this country by their government. No other way to put this.” – Radio Entertainer Rush Limbaugh
* “Get ready to get gang-raped again, folks.” – Limbaugh.
* “This Country is being raped.” — Robin of Berkeley, American Thinker.
* “People in New York, you’re being raped by your government — raped.” – Glenn Beck, on his radio show.
