BARBARA'S TCHATZKAHS

In COMPLETE agreement with UppityWoman here: Here’s a rape victim who confronts that Weasel David Vitter and asks him why he didn’t support the bill that allows a rape victim to confront her rapist in court. This is the bill I discussed here, prompted by the Haliburton employee who was gang-banged and locked in a shipping crate. This is the bill where Vitter was one of the 30 weasels who voted “No”. Watch this shitbag blame Barack Obama and then walk out of the building while she is still talking to him, showing once more just how little respect this POS has for women in general and rape victims specifically. I always thought he was a slime ball, but this is beyond the pale.I found myself wishing somebody in the parking lot would rape this beast in every available orifice before he got into the car. Twice. Any woman in Louisiana who votes for this shithead is voting for her oppressor. We all remember Vitter, don't we??

I am reposting this from Montel Williams' Radio Show site, as I heard it this afternoon while picking up my kids. This is UNBELIEVABLE. I don't care what side of the aisle you are on - this is depraved and I'm calling everyone in Washington out on it! CLICK HERE TO LISTEN Senator Al Franken's first legislative victory, which was to deny private contractors from using private arbitration in cases of rape and sexual abuse of their employees. However, 30 GOP Senators voted against the amendment! In other words, they would rather deny victims of rape their day in court then get in the way of private defense contractors from making money! Who are they kidding? We have to call each one of these Senators and let them have it! Below is a list of all the Senators who voted no and their office phone numbers. Call them and ask why don't they care about women's rights? Despicable! SOURCE List of Senators and Phone Numbers: Alexander (R-Tennessee) DC: (202) 224-4944 State...

I've been on the recieving end of that blame-the-victim 'defense.' Didn't you all know that "hell hath no fury" and I'm a "scorned woman, a psycho, a horror, a liar" and more? Then I am glad I have illuminated you as to my allegedly 'true' character... and character assassination is a crime in my book. When a large corporation does it it's UNCONSCIONABLE In this case "blame the victim" becomes "blame the insurance company for blaming the victim." Say that 10 times fast. Excuse me, Marriott? There's a little something called taking responsibility for your actions. Read up on it. A corporation with a shred of true integrity would have never let that lawsuit go out the door, even under pressure from an insurance company. (and insurance companies are known for being soul-sucking, heartless, ponerized organizations... just ask me. I have personal knowledge about that too.) A corporation with even moderate i...

by Christina Boyle A young woman brutally raped in a Queens subway station says her heart was broken when a judge threw out her suit against two transit workers who ignored her cries for help. Speaking for the first time since the ruling, Maria Besedin said Thursday she never expected the toll booth clerk and train conductor who witnessed the 2005 attack to be heroes and put their own lives in danger. But, she said, they didn't even call 911, or yell, "Stop!" Besedin hoped to have her day in court so a jury could decide if the MTA staffers were negligent for only alerting central command.She believed her case would make the system safer for all users. "I'm honestly still in shock," she said of Queens Supreme Court Justice Kevin Kerrigan's decision Tuesday to quash the suit. "It's so hard for me to process this whole thing because I just really wanted everyone out there to be safe, to never have to experience anything like I did." The petite...

By Sarah Tofte Human Rights Watch released a report Tuesday finding that Los Angeles County has at least 12,669 untested rape kits sitting in storage facilities. Sarah Tofte, a researcher for that study, calls it a case of major injustice to rape survivors. Catherine, who lives with her young son in Los Angeles, was awakened at midnight by a stranger who raped her, sodomized her and forced her to orally copulate him -- repeatedly. When it was over, the police brought her to a rape treatment center. As with all rape victims, her body was a crime scene. She consented to the collection of evidence. The lab said it would take at least eight months for it to analyze the evidence gathered from Catherine's body, known as a "rape kit." For the detective, that was too long to wait. He personally drove the kit to the state lab, where it still sat for months. When it was finally processed, it generated a "cold hit" -- the DNA matched someone in the offender database, and C...

Some Catholics and Religious Right persons really make me sick. Love the fetus, hate the child. Force a 9-year old RAPE victim to have twins she doesn't want, should not have been forced to bear? What was the Church going to do to help SUPPORT these babies after they were born? What if they were physically or brain impaired? What about the depression, trauma and PTSD of the 9-year old? Would they be willing to pay for this child's now LIFETIME-NEEDED care and therapy? What about her life and her mother's life? No. They probably wouldn't. But, as this article says - they WILL rehab or relocate abusive priests, won't they? Can you say HYPOCRITE? I know I sure can. These priests, bishops and Church officials should be doing penance. A lot of it. On their knees on the cold stone floor of the nearest Church. And sending money and sincere apologies to this girl and her mother. JOB 17:8 Upright men are appalled at this; the innocent are aroused against the ungodly...
