Tyson talking hate rape - Says he'd like to attack beauty queen & mom

Heavyweight hell-raiser Mike Tyson said talking about the beauty queen he was jailed for raping in 1991 makes him so mad he would rape her - and her mother.

"She's a lying, monstrous young lady - I just hate her guts," the tattooed terror said. "She puts me in that state where I don't know ... but now I really do want to rape her and her [expletive] mama."

In an explosive interview with Fox News Channel's Greta Van Susteren, Tyson claimed "slimy" Desiree Washington accused him of assaulting her in an Indiana hotel room because she was "money hungry."

"Anybody else having fun like that, it's young boys having fun," Tyson said. "But it's me, I'm a big black rapist. ... That's the stigma I'm left with."

Saying that witnesses who would have testified that Washington was a "gold digger" were not allowed to testify, Tyson insisted he would have been exonerated if he had had a fairer trial.

"Have another trial, and if I lose, I do my time again," he pledged.

Locked up for 3 years

Tyson, 36, served three years in prison after he was convicted of raping the then 18-year-old Miss Black America contestant. He completed his parole in June 1999.

Washington, who now lives in Maryland, did not return a call for comment. Neither did her parents in Rhode Island.

Muhammad Siddeeq, who was Tyson's spiritual adviser while the boxer was behind bars, said Tyson was goaded by Van Susteren into making controversial statements. "Her job is to get ratings on television," Siddeeq said.

But Siddeeq said Tyson has been "self-destructing" since his divorce from second wife Monica Turner in January, and his verbal jabs at Washington - like the tattoo now gracing his face - are symptoms of much deeper problems.

"Mike is going through some severe emotional problems of his own, and I see him running from help, running from people who love him," said Siddeeq, who said he last spoke with Tyson two months ago.

Put that thing back in the slammer. It's a menace to society, not to mention to Desiree Washington and her family.

Throw away the key.

Now, that's just absolutely not true, darn it, Michael! People don't think of you as a rapist at all!

They think of you as a flesh-eating cannibal.

Geeze, he's one dumb sonofab*tch animal.

Tyson is an animal. He should be put down, like a rabid dog.

[xm177e2]

Animal. Yeah, that's the word I used.

"She's a lying, monstrous young lady

A classic example of projection. Tyson also used the word monster when describing his reasons for biting Holyfield (he said the bruises on his face made him look like a monster, and he didn't want his kids to see that--so he bit Holyfield). In his heart, he knows he's the monster, that's why the word is sitting on his lips.

I object to that slander, on behalf of innocent animals everywhere!

[weegee]

Sounds like he's chewing her out.

"In his heart, he knows he's the monster, that's why the word is sitting on his lips."

. . .yes, and the more these psychopath's/sociopath's hide from themselves; the more their persoanl metaphors work into their dialogue.

Bill and Hillary were and still are, 'stepping on themselves' when they speak.

... but now I really do want to rape her and her [expletive] mama."

The comment of a typical, insane tough guy. When his stamina wanes he can always become a rapper and make big money monotoning about rapin' an' killin' 'hos.

What a nasty piece of work is this raving Klinton Klass loonie!

The thing that is the most horrible about this is that "iron" mike is out there in the public eye, and is looked up to by many a youngster. What kind of influence will this utterly stupid statement have on some of his young fans, and on their outlook on life and relationships?

The bottom line is, MT is a fading star, and I think this is a desperate attempt to get some face-time. To what extreme will he go to try to get attention? I shudder to imagine.

Lennox Lewis may not go for a quick TKO next time, he may decide to punish Tyson for twelve rounds, and I say more power to him.

Tyson will kill someone before he's done.

Remember that tyson is a moslem. So of course he's trained to be mentally unbalanced. All his activities, from the rape to the assaults on bystanders to biting Holyfield (A good Christian man) fit with the moslem terrorist profile.

All moslems are terrorists or they're not good moslems.

You know, if it weren't for boxing, Tyson would be nothing more than an unemployed street thug....uh..wait a minute.
