In reply to the discussion: Jay Townsend, GOP Spokesman: 'Let's Hurl Some Acid At Those Female Democratic Senators' [View all]Bluenorthwest
(45,319 posts)Each year, 1,500 or more people are attacked by acid throwers world wide and 80% of the victims are women. Did you know that? Are you aware of the fact that this Republican rat bastard was invoking one of the worst of the regularly used forms of violence used in particular against women who do not conform to male power. It falls into the same category of horrors as 'corrective rape' as acid attacks are frequently waged against women who are or are perceived to be lesbians.
Any person who would invoke such a hideous act of violence, an actual ongoing tool of the worst haters on earth, is a piece of utter scum. And frankly, equating such attacks to calls for protest is pretty scummy in and of itself.
You need to read this Wiki and so should all DU, then they should research on their own and not only come tell you what for, they should all do all they can to oppose this rat of a Republican operative as well as all acid throwing terrorists world wide.
