RW nut baggery at it's worst. These are the zealots that are not happy until we ALL live under THEIR VERSION OF THEOCRACY. It's no wonder so many of them were having wet dreams over Santorum.

Man Smacks Wife "Upside The Head" After She Uses Lord's Name In Vain During Argument
What was he supposed to do? Let her take the Lords name in vain in his own house?
I say smack the devil out of her.
So throwing him in jail solves the problem? He's a fundamental Christian upset at taking the Lord's name in vain (one of the ten commandment, I believe). How can you defend a person who verbally attacks the religious beliefs of another in his own home?
Is not her assault upon his eardrums a crime too? Hers was the first action, his a reaction and hes in jail for battery. How about we split the difference and send her to jail too for assault? That would seem fair to me, as both were breaking the law.
But I don't like zero tolerance and the insanity that goes along with jailing people in this day and age. No marks on her. Look, if she had bruises or lacerations, sure, send the puke to jail. In this case, the legal systems should be able to determine that the wife assaulted the man's faith and his eardrums, he reacted poorly. To me, she's as guily as the husband, maybe more so because she started it with her illegal assault.
Now there have been some responses trying to set these idiots straight, but the fact that they are arguing their case full bore almost makes me weep for the women in their lives....and this nation. it's no wonder we found threads there calling to revoke the vote of women, and their stupidity in voting their own minds rather than 'enhancing' the votes of the husbands. Frankly, it's no wonder so many on the right simply don't see a war on women.

"Oh God! How many times do I have to tell you to call me when you are going to be late, honey"
"Come here, woman! *Smack* That'll teach you to not take the lords name in vain! Now, go pray on your knees to JESUS and ask for forgiveness."

Not a single word in that OP was anything to laugh at.
quinnox
(20,600 posts)whacked out that freepers are defending this, it is funny. I explained it by saying these freepers are giving even a caveman a bad name. It sounds like you don't get satiric or ironic humor.
polmaven
(9,463 posts)absolutely NO humor, of any ilk, in an assault on women, or in assault on anybody considered, as in this case, to be "inferior". There is nothing funny, in any way, about any part of it.

polmaven
(9,463 posts)The fact that those morAns actually defend him suggests that they, too, would do the same thing. I will say again that there is absolutely no humor of any ilk in this story.

He should have simply said that she had used Allahs name in vain. Why, men would be lined up on his doorstep to smack her upside her head.

(17,266 posts)We go there not because we like to sludge through the filth, but because trolling isn't a one-way street. The difference is our people are scary good at it. Not just because we're better actors/impressionists, but also because the RW mind is a caricature of itself. It's so much easier for us to act like mindless, mouth-breathing wingnuts, while very few of them can actually wrap their heads around the nuanced positions of most liberals. They're much easier for us to sniff out here than the time they have of figuring out which ignorant knuckle-dragger there is legit or a parody of themselves.

Stupid moronic faux-Christians. If they truly want a theocracy they should gather everyone up and move to Florida or Texas and then secede. We can even make it fast-track.

(51,666 posts)BF from over 25 years ago who last year friended me on FB. He's gone religious fundie, and is separated (but not divorced of course), and wants to date. Well, dating is fine, but I don't get intimately involved with MARRIED men or FUNDIES or REPUBLICANS (he's all 3).
I don't think he would ever be violent, but I just don't have quite the level of trust that it could never happen.......he can be my friend and we can go to museums and have lunch, but nothing serious.

(34,582 posts)it isn't worth the frustration- you know he is going to say something extremely stupid. People like that can't help it.

(51,666 posts)he nixed recent plans to study to become a minister - he admits he's just too old and tired.
He's 55, like me. But he looks 65-70 and has medical problems to match (but has great medical insurance because of his JOB WORKING FOR THE COUNTY, lol). Heck, that alone would be enough to turn me off romantically even if he were somewhat more liberal and not so religious!
glowing
(12,233 posts)wasn't so much about blurting out "Jesus Christ" when you hit your thumb with a hammer instead of it hitting the nail.... It was about calling one's self a "Godly person, and doing and living one's life the opposite of a faithful servant... Smacking one's wife would be the actual sin in God's eyes, not the expletive!!!
Reason why, is how does one go around calling themselves a servant of God, faithful or what not, if they act in the opposite manner in which the word of God speaks to.... AND if one is a "Christian" the second 1/2 of the bible is the more important one because it is Jesus who commands one another to love each other as brother's and sister's; its Jesus who says the meek shall inherit the world, it is Jesus who says the palaces in heaven are greater for those faithful spirit, and it is those who have the most abundance who are supposed to give the most....or have essential damnation later on in life.
Anyway, this man is not a "Christian" by any sense of the meaning at all.

(15,189 posts)Freedom of speech with these assholes. A city in Massachusetts is trying to fine people for profanities. I guess free speech is only what you want to hear with some. I bet these same assholes thought it was free speech for that nut to hang an effigy of Obama in his yard. But using the lords name in vain is a crime?
I so much want to move if Rmoney steals this. I don't have any money, but maybe there's a country that will have sympathy. The stupid is getting thicker these days.

I am not a violent person but I will tell you my Italian cousins and brother would make sure he would never ever hit me again. Divorce first thing. I don't believe in a man hitting a woman.
