Other than learning that Bundy was a boy scout, an avid skiier and a Republican (he helped out Rockefeller's campaign so obviously he was with the NWO); I am struggling to work out what the thread is actually about.

Exaggerate much? Generally, the left - as opposed to the right - sees world opinion as an important factor in policy setting. This in no way implies that world opinion "determine[s] USA policy.

I bet Polanski is a Republican, and that right-wing Woopie Goldberg who apologized for him saying what he did wasn't "rape rape" she too must be a Republican.

Right.

I believe the claim being made here isn't that all rapists are republican, but that all republicans and conservatives are rapists.

At least they believe somebody needs to give them permission first...

Care to expound on you theory that Democrats do a lot of rape?

Your poll needs to expand. Three cases are not conclusive.

But that is not what I was saying. I never said that Democrats do a lot of rape. I said, what is up with Left Wingers like Al Franklin and Hillary Clinton making rape cases into theatre to further their career?... and selective rape cases, I might add, instead of the ones that their fellow democratic family members commit.

By the way, how did you meet these people? Are you a lawyer?

Google search results:

"Rape" "mother earth" = 549,000 results.

"Rape" "environment" = 14,200,000 results

"Bush" "rape" "constitution" = 15,000,000 results

"Bush" "rape" "bill of rights" = 423,000 results

"Bush" "rape" "iraq" = 5,970,000 results

So... dare I ask... What's up with left-wingers and rape?

I've met a ton of rapists and have engaged in substantive conversations with all of them as a part of my job.

For the most part, they tend to have a massively skewed world view to the point where trying to figure out political leanings is like trying to figure out what color an emotion is. Just a total abstraction. They have some strong feelings about the criminal justice system, but as to social policy they do trend a bit conservative, but that is normal when dealing with uneducated poor West Virginians.

That´s demonization.

I think demonetization is the latest buzzword meaning "armed robbery".
