Hope and Chains: #WarOnWomen Kidnapper Is Cuyahoga County Democrat

Posted on | May 9, 2013 | 26 Comments

“If any of the brothers were a Republican, this news would have been trumpeted by the mainstream media as tangible proof of the Republican War on Women — a narrative invented by Democrat strategists and maintained by the media in a successful effort to defeat Republican candidates in the 2012 election cycle.
“However, when a real act of war on women is perpetrated by a Democrat voter in the manner that even the most zealous Democrat strategist couldn’t have dreamed up in their worst nightmares — involving abduction, imprisonment, rape, torture, malnutrition, beatings while pregnant, and killing babies — the media doesn’t think the party affiliation is relevant.”
— Oleg Atbashian, American Thinker, “Ariel Castro, Cleveland Kidnapper, Is a Registered Democrat”

Let’s be clear: The fact that Cleveland “house of horrors” suspect Ariel Castro is a registered Democrat does not mean either:

  1. That all Democrats have rape dungeons in their basements;
    or
  2. That every resident of Cuyahoga County is a sexual predator.

These are illogical inferences, and quite possibly harmful stereotypes. Some violent sex offenders might sue you for libel if you accuse them of being Cuyahoga County Democrats. But what kind of monster would kidnap his daughter’s best friend?

Even while police and the FBI searched for DeJesus — who prosecutors now say was one of three women kept captive and repeatedly raped in Ariel Castro’s Seymour Avenue home — the accused kidnapper’s daughter was interviewed on America’s Most Wanted. …
Investigators now say that DeJesus was kidnapped that day by Arlene’s own father, who offered the girl a ride and then chained up Gina — along with his other victims, Michelle Knight and Amanda Berry — in the basement of the West Side house where they were held captive as sex slaves during years of horrific abuse. In an interview Thursday on ABC’s Good Morning America, Arlene Castro said she was “devastated” to learn that her best friend had been her father’s victim . . .

Read the whole thing at ViralRead, and while you’re at it, see if you can get feminist @AmandaMarcotte to notice this story.

Did I mention that this is National Offend a Feminist Week?

However, I must point out that investigators in Cleveland have cleared Ariel Castro’s brothers, Pedro and Onil, of any charges in connection with the rape case. So apparently they’re not kidnappers or rapists, but they might still be Cuyahoga County Democrats.

    @smitty_one_each Everyone in Cuyahoga County is a Democrat – all 114% of them.

    No, just another progressive community organizer with a rape dungeon in his basement.

    Tomato, tomahto… kidnappers, rapists and Democrats are all taking part in the war on women.

    Knowing he’s a registered Democrat and can’t be Zimmermann’d because of his name has got to be giving the Prognazis the same feeling they had when the forensics lab announced that the white stain on Lewinsky’s dress had their BJ-buddy Bill’s DNA.
    Since Hillary is the presumptive Dem nominee for 2016, I wonder if Marcotte already has her knee pads ready for Bill.

    “That all Democrats have rape dungeons in their basements;” They just wish they did. Otherwise known as “good Clinton Democrats.”

    Dude, you are SO stuck in the ’90s!

    Marcotte converted to John Edwards long ago, which is why he selected her to be a campaign blogger without actually reading any of her posts except those with his name in the title (why should a blog be treated differently than his other reading?). It was only when controversy arose that he realized he wasn’t the only p*ssy she wrote about.

    Actually, I wouldn’t be surprised to see MSM sources mentioning the guy’s politics, history, work history, stamp collection, porn library – anything about him that keeps them from having to mention Benghazi right now.

    You are wrong. It is a verifiable fact that all Democrats have rape and torture dungeons in the basements of their homes. You just forgot to include mind-fucking.

    John Wayne Gacy was also a Democrat, a Chicago Democrat. That doesn’t mean all Chicago Democrats have crawlspaces stuffed with the bodies of young gay men, but it does mean it’s worth checking.

    Fancy that, that the party that worships at the altar of NAMBLA, rimming, fisting, bathhouse orgies and taxpayer funded sex change operations should include a sex criminal in its ranks. Who’d a thunk it?

    Elizabeth Edwards selected Marcotte and her partner to be Edwards’s bloggers. Elizabeth wore the pants in that marriage.
