Don't Republican politicians running for office, like Todd Akin and Richard Mourdock, know how much it pains Stephen Colbert when they spew ignorant claptrap about rape while running for office?
For some reason, giving rapists the benefit of the doubt has been totally en vogue
this election season, most recently with Mourdock's comments during a
debate in which he said he believes that "even when life begins in that
horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to
happen."
Sadly, that meant that Stephen Colbert had to reset his "Days Without A GOP Rape Mention" counter back to zero.
But Stephen has advice for his fellow conservatives who think it
might be a good idea to approach the subject of rape in a public forum:
Just, don't. Ever. At all. And if you're tempted, just ram a pencil in
your eye until you rid yourself of the idea that caveman ideas about
sexual assault have any place in the public discourse.

Wisconsin Lawmaker Claims ‘Some Girls Rape Easy’ 10OKT12
WHAT is it with these repiglicans and tea-baggers? How is it they can have so little or even no respect for girls and women. One has to wonder what the lives of the women in their lives is like, what kind of misery they experience daily, and probably resent to the point they become silent victims of the boys and "men" who control them or raging Schlempe a la queen ann romney, ann coulter, michelle bachman and Fotze sarah palin. This from ThinkProgress...
A Wisconsin state lawmaker endorsed by Paul Ryan has come under criticism for suggesting that “some girls rape easy.”
While discussing a case in which “a 17-year-old high school senior was
charged with sexual assault for having sex with an underage girl in the
school’s band room,” State Rep. Roger Rivard (R) told the Chetek Alert
newspaper in December that his father taught him that some girls will
portray a sexual encounter as rape if they become pregnant. He is now
claiming that those remarks were taken out of context and has issued a
statement condemning sexual violence:

Roger Rivard with Paul Ryan
On Wednesday, Rivard told the Journal Sentinel the article did not provide full context of his comments and that his father’s exact words had been slightly different from how they appeared in the Chetek Alert.Ryan endorsed Rivard on August 9, just two days before he was selected to be Mitt Romney’s running mate. “Roger needs to be reaffirmed to get this job done and fix the State of Wisconsin,” Ryan said.
He told the Journal Sentinel that his father had advised him not to have premarital sex, and he took that seriously.
“He also told me one thing, ‘If you do (have premarital sex), just remember, consensual sex can turn into rape in an awful hurry,’ ” Rivard said. “Because all of a sudden a young lady gets pregnant and the parents are madder than a wet hen and she’s not going to say, ‘Oh, yeah, I was part of the program.’ All that she has to say or the parents have to say is it was rape because she’s underage. And he just said, ‘Remember, Roger, if you go down that road, some girls,’ he said, ‘they rape so easy.’
“What the whole genesis of it was, it was advice to me, telling me, ‘If you’re going to go down that road, you may have consensual sex that night and then the next morning it may be rape.’ So the way he said it was, ‘Just remember, Roger, some girls, they rape so easy. It may be rape the next morning.’
“So it’s been kind of taken out of context.”
