Jon Stewart Takes On 30 Republicans Who Voted Against Franken Rape Amendment

Quote:

In 2005, Jamie Leigh Jones was gang-raped by her Halliburton/KBR co-workers while working in Iraq and locked in a shipping container for over a day to prevent her from reporting her attack. The rape occurred outside of U.S. criminal jurisdiction, but to add serious insult to serious injury she was not allowed to sue KBR because her employment contract said that sexual assault allegations would only be heard in private arbitration--a process that overwhelmingly favors corporations.

This year, Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) proposed an amendment that would deny defense contracts to companies that ask employees to sign away the right to sue. It passed, but it wasn't the slam dunk Jon Stewart expected. Instead the amendment received 30 nay votes all from Republicans. "I understand we're a divided country, some disagreements on health care. How is ANYONE against this?" He asked.

He went on to show video of Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) arguing that it's not the government's place to decide who the government does business with and juxtaposed that with Republican sentiment on how the government should deal with ACORN. "I guess it's an efficiency thing. You don't want to waste tax-payer money giving it to someone who advises fake prostitutes how to commit imaginary crimes, you want to give it to Halliburton because they're committing real gang rape."

Now...what do you think?

I read it and searched it again and again and NO WHERE can I find the word rape.

So why are you calling this the Rape Amendment?

I would think that if you are claiming that these republicans are for gang rape then maybe the word RAPE would at least appear in this amendment SOMEWHERE!...or YOU could provide an explanation why they are for rape.

You call it the Rape Amendment, Stewart calls it the Rape Amendment....

But the word rape is nowhere in it.

I'm not calling it the "Rape Amendment"

Obviously you do not have a problem with women being raped by Halliburton/KBR employees & not being able to sue the rapists & the company, do you?

Why are you siding with the 30 republican dirtbags?

Who said I was siding with anybody?

I'm not siding with anyone

I'm trying to find out why you're saying these republicans are for gang rape when the word rape doesn't even appear in this amendment.

I'll gladly answer the question.

Just as soon as figure out why this is called the rape amendment when the word rape appears no where in it.

Doesn't matter what Stewart or anyboby else calls it.

Again, are you FOR or AGAINST Senate Amendment 2588 to H.R. 3326?

you going to man up or keep on being a pussy?...come on grape, you going to grow a pair?

a simple YES or NO will work

a simple YES or NO?....

simple?

The topic of this thread is Republicans for gang rape.

YOU WROTE IT!..YOU ACTUALLY TYPED THE WORD RAPE IN THE TITLE

Where is the word rape in the amendment?

What I understand is, the amendment allows employees of defense contractors to sue them company for pretty much anything they want....

And somehow you determined that these republicans support gang rape just because they oppose this amendment?

how did you do that?

I mean...do you honestly believe these people actually support the gang rape of this woman?

a simple YES or NO will work...

then I'll fully understand and answer your question.
