It all started with Monica Lewinsky and her abuser.

I wouldn't call it abuse as it was a consensual relationship. But you're right... the silence from NOW and other liberal feminazi advocacy groups was literally deafening when this happened.

If I remember correctly, this event was what pushed Tammy Bruce to quit her association with these types of organizations, because they literally gave Bill Clinton a pass because they were aligned with him politically.

liberals in general have no belly for a real fight

They're far more adept at flicking their moistened tongues at low-hanging fruit, and that's saying typically more than a mouthful.

I would call it abuse because of her age, his age, and his position of power.

Oh, and on a related issue, let's not forget the "one free grope rule."

News Babe’s ‘Iraqi Tryst’ (Free Republic credited for breaking story in Dec)

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2037023/posts

Sexy CBS siren Lara Logan spent her days covering the heat of the Iraq war - but that was nothing compared to the heat of her nights. The “60 Minutes” reporter and former swimsuit model apparently courted two beaus while she was in Baghdad, and has been labeled a homewrecker for allegedly destroying the marriage of a civilian contractor there, sources said. Passions got so hot in the combat zone that one of her lovers, Joe Burkett, brawled in a Baghdad “safe house” with her other paramour, CNN war reporter Michael Ware, a source said. The wife of Burkett, a US Embassy worker, claims the sultry 37-year-old correspondent seduced him while bullets flew overhead. Burkett’s wife, Kimberly, also accuses Logan of teaming up with him to take her 3-year-old daughter away, according to the source.

“The feminists are silent because expressing outrage against Muslims would run counter their political agenda”

If that crowd had been keeping logan out of an abortion clinic NOW would be screaming bloody murder.

Ashley Turton had “acute alcohol intoxication.”
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2011/02/11/AR2011021106565.html

I’m not sure why her death should be considered “mysterious” anymore unless you want to argue that some mystery person forced her to get inebriated in hopes she’d kill herself.

Feminists are talking about Lara Logan. Maybe not on tv, but certainly on the internet.

I would love the NOW cows to live under Sharia Law.

I would too. For three weeks they should have to abide by Sharia, 100%. Then they could come home and be real feminists. This would be a good episode of 'Wife Swap' - some gal with a Master's in Gender Studies from Yale gets to go to Iran for a month and live as a cleric's wife.

Who’s idea was it to Send a pretty Woman into a misogynist Arab culture, with hair died bright blond and bright lights set upon her in a lawless riot? WTF?

They stone their own women for sport. Who is surprised? CBS needs to answer to this.

Interesting....

Could the assault have been a retaliation for Lara Logan’s sex romps in Baghdad three years ago? Maybe that is why the feminists are trying to avoid this latest incident in Egypt?

When you brainwash a women to believe she is equal to a real man and then she finds out different, it’ a hard lesson, eh?

Stay away from non- girly men!.

just that simple.

Flame will do you no good.

Re Turton

It just gets weirder

Maybe someone here can explain how backing out of a garage and backing up an inclined driveway causes a BMW to roll forward at slow speed, hit a workbench, and start a fire

I feel badly for Lara Logan. She didn't deserve that, but I'm wondering who made the decision for her to go to Egypt? Pretending the rabble there are anything but barbarians is just plain stupid. I certainly wouldn't let my wife or daughter go there even in the best of times, and certainly not during civil unrest. This looks like the lunacy of the left at work. There are some places where women should not go, no matter how "liberated" they think they are.

She'll be scarred for life, and she should hold CBS responsible.

They are silent because they support what happened to Logan,,,as long as it was muslims that did it to her.

“Okay, I'd like to know where all of the feminists are?”

The same place CodePinko is now that BO is running the wars.

They are all a bunch of disingenuous harpies that don't really give a ____ if it doesn't fit their political agenda.

“There are some places where women should not go,”

I said that exact thing to my husband last night but added “and some things that women should not do”.

If she’s backing UP an inclined driveway, one can imagine her passing out and BMW rolling back into garage. Alternatively, since no one saw her backing out of the garage in the first place (I’m assuming that any allusion to backing up the driveway by the reporter was based on some sort of evidence in the driveway indicating the car had gotten that far, but it also could just be pure speculation), maybe Turton herself, for whatever foggy reason (we can’t attribute much rationality to someone who is drunk) decided herself to drive back into the garage slowly (maybe she forgot something in the house).

What we do know is that the car was found at an odd angle, suggesting that it did not move into that position under the control of a conscious rational driver.

There apparently were flammable items in the workbench area, so all that was required was a spark to set them off.

When there’s a drunk driver operating a heavy vehicle around flammable materials, I don’t need a conspiracy theory to “explain” what might have happened.
