But in a congressional district in Northern Virginia, one of the state's main instigators of culture warfare, state Sen. Richard H. "Dick" Black, is running in the Republican primary to replace longtime GOP moderate Rep. Frank Wolf, who is retiring. And he's guaranteed to ignite wedge-issue passion. Exhibit A: As a state legislator, Black opposed making spousal rape a crime, citing the impossibility of convicting a husband accused of raping his wife "when they're living together, sleeping in the same bed, she's in a nightie, and so forth." Black has referred to emergency contraception, which does not cause abortions, as "baby pesticide." Black also fought to block a statue of Abraham Lincoln at a former Confederate site in Richmond. He wasn't sure, he explained at the time, that statues of Lincoln belonged in Virginia. He has argued that abortion is a worse evil than slavery. And once, to demonstrate why libraries should block pornography on their computers, Black invited a TV reporter to film him using a library terminal to watch violent rape porn.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]Black entered politics in the late 1990s after retiring as a military prosecutor. He spoke frequently to media outlets about sexual assault in the military, and called military rape "as predictable as human nature." "Think of yourself at 25," Black told a newspaper in 1996. "Wouldn't you love to have a group of 19-year-old girls under your control, day in, day out?"[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2014/01/gop-congressional-candidate-richard-dick-black-spousal-rape-not-a-crime[/url] Didn't see this posted anywhere. Now, if you excuse me, I'm gonna throw up.
What the fuck is wrong with this country.
Man, this is cyclical. I recall a GOP Candidate saying the same thing just a couple of years ago, around the time that Obama was up for re-election. But going by the stuff in this article, this guy is nuttier than a squirrel sandwich.
lol :suicide:
well he certainly wants to give them the dick. (what a terrible excuse of a human being. fucking rapist apologist)

welp his career's over and if it's not it should be
[QUOTE=Generic.Monk;43569092]welp his career's over and if it's not it should be[/QUOTE] There's likely a frightenly large group of voters that [I]AGREE[/I] with him.

"Wouldn't you love to have a group of 19-year-old girls under your control, day in, day out?"[/quote] Even in context, this quote makes no sense and is instead creepy as fuck.
How are people like this even allowed to run for such important posts is beyond me. I mean, for Christ sake, I don't care about your freedom of speech. That's messed up and downright disturbing.
A potential representative of our Country everybody (Like the rest of them aren't this far off) :suicide:
This guy is a fuckin' piece of shit, Jesus Christ.
That's not really an unbiased source right there also, classic [quote]and called military rape "as predictable as human nature." "Think of yourself at 25," Black told a newspaper in 1996. "Wouldn't you love to have a group of 19-year-old girls under your control, day in, day out?"[/quote]
And a congressional candidate you shall remain, sir.
[quote]Black has referred to emergency contraception, which does not cause abortions, as "baby pesticide."[/quote] I see no issue with this. I would totally buy an emergency contraception product brand "Ba-B-Gone"
I will contest his ridiculous statement with an equally ridiculous statement that couldn't help but be the first thing that came to mind when I read this: We should set a general standard for ignorant fuckwit-ness, above which it is completely legal to kill those people.
Jesus fucking christ what is wrong with some people in this country? I am APPALLED that this man is even in the runnings for a position of power in this country. Much less not confined to a cell or mental asylum.
this is why the republican party is a mess, its got too many of these retarded deluded religious crazies who think its 1954 not 2014 [editline]17th January 2014[/editline] most republicans are not like this guy too which only hurts their case, they should start seriously considering just who they fund and make sure its not just the other guy who isn't a democrat
[QUOTE=Generic.Monk;43569092]welp his career's over and if it's not it should be[/QUOTE] won't be over as quick as you think, because a stunning amount of US voters don't even know what rape really is and might agree with him.
I always have trouble believing that these kinds of stories are real. I just can't accept that someone like this actually exists.
You're a douchebag, sir. GG, GOP.
[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;43569537]I see no issue with this. I would totally buy an emergency contraception product brand "Ba-B-Gone"[/QUOTE] I prefer Tummy-B-Flat
Your existence should be labeled as a crime against humanity, Congressman.
[QUOTE=PSI Guy;43570065]I always have trouble believing that these kinds of stories are real. I just can't accept that someone like this actually exists.[/QUOTE] always remember that for every crazy person you see, there's someone somewhere out there who is crazier
Black, Dick

[quote]she's in a nightie...[/quote] Wow, here we are in 2014 and this guy is STILL sticking with the "look how she was dressed, she was asking for it" defense of rapists. I hope I live long enough to see the world after all these old dinosaurs have died off. Imagine all the problems we could solve if we didn't have people like this dragging their feet as we move forward.
[QUOTE=Morcam;43570759]Hold on, it's not ok to post fox news, but it's ok to post motherjones, a far, far more biased source? Really?[/QUOTE] If you run this by the moderators, they might make a note of it. By this I mean go right ahead and ask them about it.
[QUOTE=Morcam;43570759]Hold on, it's not ok to post fox news, but it's ok to post motherjones, a far, far more biased source? Really?[/QUOTE] I didn't know that. I just found that story on Tumblr and posted it here.
