UN Ambassador Compares Struggles of Afghan Women to a College Student Who Lied About Rape
Townhall.com ^ | 5/18/2015 | Katie Pavlich

Yesterday U.S. Ambassador to the UN Samantha Power tweeted the following:

Power is referring to Emma Sulkowicz in this tweet. Sulkowicz is a young Columbia University student who carried around a mattress on her college campus as part of her own "carry that weight campaign." The goal was to show how heavy the burden of rape is on a woman. She said she had been raped and that she would follow her rapist with the mattress, the "weight," until he was brought to justice. There's just one problem: she made the rape up.

Paul Nungesser, the Columbia University student accused of raping fellow student Emma Sulkowicz, is now suing the university for doing nothing to stop Sulkowicz's harassment campaign against him, which he claims "effectively destroyed" his college experience, reputation, and future career prospects.

His lawsuit contains a wealth of new information about the contested sexual assault, including dozens of messages establishing Sulkowicz's sexual "yearning" for Nungesser, which she sent to him both before and after the alleged incident.

Just a few short years ago Afghan women had no rights at all. For Power to compare a Columbia University student who lied about rape to get attention)-- to women in Afghanistan is absurd, an insult and completely out of touch with the realities of true injustice in the world.

“The entire 0bama administration is intellectually dishonest and morally bankrupt.”

True.

They need to eliminate Womyn’s studies from college. If you are too stupid not to know what to do as a woman, not taking a class is the least of your problems.

Correction - the entire Obama administration are so wrapped up in their ideology, they simply can not conceive of anything else. Their leftist american world-view is their everything.

We had a Muslim woman lecturing students here in NYS. Someone asked if it is true that you can be stoned for adultery. The woman responded without hesitation....”We have our laws”.

Kabul, Afghanistan, was a cosmopolitan city in the 60’s. From photos of the time, there appeared to be women in schools, clean paved streets, and gardens surrounding the city. Of course from snippets you never get the full idea but the thing wasn’t a bombed-out crater, and I assume the pix of girls sitting at their desks at what’s obviously a school, in their school uniforms, means they weren’t afraid of being machine gunned in the next 5 minutes.

The preponderance of liberals who fabricate crimes against themselves is an indication (in my mind) of the mental disorder they suffer from.

Somehow they convince themselves this stuff is real even after they have cut and bruised themselves, vandalized their homes or cars and built news stories with false evidence. These new age liberals should be judged as dangers to society and sentenced to psychological counseling.

“The entire 0bama administration is intellectually dishonest and morally bankrupt.”

I vehemently disagree that the Obama Administration is Morally Bankrupt.

To be bankrupt suggest that one had at one time a positive balance sheet.

The Obama Administration came in to office with a Zero on their moral balance sheet and has been losing credit ever since.

Change is possible.

A comforting thought for a nation under assault for almost 7 years.

You had just been subjected to Kitman.
The art of making ambiguous statements, paying lip-service to authority while reserving personal opposition
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitman

A honest statement, which is an oxymoron when you have a muslim lecturing you on morality would have been.

”We have our laws and soon you will have them too”

We all know Samantha is not going to conquer the world with her brilliant mind. That she rose to her current position, proves the Peter Principal is alive and well in the Democrat Party.
