A phony publicity-seeking Balloon Boy story can, in a moment, consume the attention of virtually the entire American media, but -- as I wrote yesterday -- there has ban nary a lick of coverage about 3/4s (30) of the Republican Senators voting to enable rape, as they did last week.

In fact, here's a list of the names of the 30 Republican Senators who vocally argued that companies have a right not to be responsible for rapes of employees by other employees. Yes, read those 30 names because you won't see them in any major corporate media coverage, what with the aftermaths of Balloon Boy to cover (once again showing how gullible and desperate corporate media is for "entertaining" news even if, from the beginning, the National Inquirer style event smelled like rotten fish).

Oh, and the corporate news media, as Jon Stewart pointed out, is also obsessed with the long-term attack on ACORN, because the Republicans have fed them talking points for years to undermine the organization that empowers poor people. The GOP, since Rove, has targeted ACORN because if poor people gain power and vote, the power of corporations to run America might be diminished.

So this morning, October 16th, the NYT -- the newspaper of record in writing articles that maintain the status quo of entrenched power and wealth while tossing a sop to liberals with compassionate editorials -- had yet another article on ACORN: "Acorn's Woes Strain Its Ties to Democrats."

30 Republican Senators vote to enable literal corporate rape, and the NYT barely blinked, but it's gobbled down the GOP ACORN political message points like a python swallowing a rabbit.

Stewart, the satirist, posed statements that the same Republican Senators who voted to hold companies free from responsibility for rape with statements of "outrage" that they made when they successfully passed a bill to defund ACORN. But Stewart has been given latitude because he makes a ton of money for corporate ownership, and even though he reveals more truth -- and connects more dots -- than corporate media like the NYT or CNN, he is still considered a humorist, so he can get away with pulling open the curtain on the derelict media and morally corrupt politicians.

30 Republican Senators voted against rape victims and chose corporate interests over the rule of law, but you won't have read much about it in the general press.

They are too busy spending hours of coverage on a balloon boy who was hidden away in his bedroom and covering trumped up story lines that the Republicans use to discredit any organization or person who threaten rule by the corporate oligarchy.

Rape is a horrific crime. So is the American corporate news media, which so skews the news between entertainment and GOP hit jobs that serious public policy discussions, with real information, are largely missing from public discourse.

And the names of 30 GOP Senators who stood up for rape remain largely unknown to anyone who wasn't in the Senate chamber at the time of the vote.

An angry man took his parrot back to the pet shop. What's the problem with the parrot asked the clerk? Well you told me I should place the parrot in front of the tv and he would learn to talk pretty quick. So, urged the clerk. The angry man said he had placed the parrot in front of the tv for 4 months, turned on Fox News and all the parrot had learned to say was, Acorn, Acorn, Acorn!

Polly Want a Cracker?

Submitted by Captain Jessie on Fri, 10/16/2009 - 11:56am.

None of the republicans surprise me. Notice it is the same nasty and controversial instigators over and over ... a majority of southern congressmen that continue to live in the 1800's and a few north western states. And these are the same republicans who were all for the Iraqi war, Halliburton, etc. They are in congress to vote "no" to anything that would benefit Americans and "yes" to everything that benefits the corporate world. They don't represent their constituents, but surely do represent corporations. It is seeing these 30 and their actions that leads me to think that voters in their states should have to pass a civics test before casting a vote. However, many of their voters are lucky they can sign their names and sit in front of their tv's like Poll Parrots all tuned into Fox news 24/7.

Who says you can't fool the people "all of the time?"

Typical republican politician attitude regarding 'we the people' is "Fuck 'em!!!"

And this vote makes it very, very clear that these pitiful excuses for human beings are a bunch of misogynist bastards - all 30 of them.

I note that vitter and ensign are among those who voted "no" - keeping true to their principles, I see.

GOP Surprise

Sessions

Their pro-rape vote should be hung on their necks

Submitted by ETS on Fri, 10/16/2009 - 8:37am.

Of the 30 Republican US Senators who voted to sanction rape thirteen are up for re-election next year and challenging Democrats, or Greens or whomever, should hang this vote like the Ancient Mariner's albatross on their neck.

Arizona US Senator John McCain was among the dirty thirty and he has a daughter about the same age as Halliburton/KBR rape victim Jamie Leigh Jones. Evidently the irony is lost on the septuagenarian senator from Arizona. The irony of his pro-rape vote is also lost on the Senator from the great state of "The Skid-mark on Uncle Sam's Underwear," Tom Coburn, who is the father of three daughters. The diaper dandy from Louisiana David Vitter found the time to sire three lovely daughters between visits to New Orlean's finest adult day-care centers.

They all stand for re-election next year.

Unfortunately I can almost hear establishment Democratic state party officials wringing their hands and moaning in their most plaintive voices, "But Democrats don't do that sort of thing. It wouldn't be fair. We have them on the issues." As if the crime of rape is not an issue.

Rest assured were the shoe on the other metaphorical foot state Republican organizations would have no problem tar-brushing an incumbent Democrat.
