UPDATE: The #1 trending hashtag on Twitter is #LiberalTips2AvoidRape. Joe Salazar — consider this a career-ender. Now get this, The Denver Post has still not posted a story on it. This is the top story in the world — as in the whole electronic galaxy — and the so-called paper of record still hasn’t covered it?
Calling the rape police (we mean all you reporters, liberal bloggers and reporter/liberal bloggers who fixated on Ken Buck, Todd Akin and Richard Mourdock for the last, oh, 3 or so years): time to ask every Democrat you can think of, starting with Governor John Hickenlooper all the way down to the elected Democrat dog catcher in Buena Vista, whether or not they condemn the insensitive comments about rape made by the eloquent one, Rep. Joe Salazar (D-Box of Rocks).
Per Eli Stokols:
DENVER — First-year state Rep. Joe Salazar is apologizing for a statement during Friday’s debate over a concealed weapons ban on
college campuses that has drawn the ire of conservatives across the blogosphere.
In arguing in favor of the ban, Salazar, D-Thornton, said that women on college campuses don’t need guns to feel that they’re safe.
“It’s why we have call boxes, it’s why we have safe zones, it’s why we have the whistles,” Salazar said on the House floor. “Because you just don’t know who you’re gonna be shooting at. And you don’t know if you feel like you’re gonna be raped, or if you feel like someone’s been following you around or if you feel like you’re in trouble when you may actually not be, that you pop out that gun and you pop … pop around at somebody.”
Does Joe Salazar think women are so stupid they might be confused about whether or not they are about to be raped?
Time to add a new term to the American political lexicon: confused rape.
Confused rape (n.) the act of thinking you are about to be raped when in fact you are not.
And right after it, add this second and related term:
Confused rape homicide (n.) the act of “popping” somebody with a cap inadvertently while experiencing a state of confused rape.
We joke, but of course, these situations are real and Salazar’s ambling idiocy speaks to just how hollow the Democrats’ arguments really are on these questions of basic self-defense.
Move over Todd Akin, make room for Joe Salazar. Confused rape homicide — the reason young women can’t carry a gun on campus.

A bystander might get shot? If the bystanders are letting the act occur, maybe getting shot isnt a bad thing.
This guy is just like the rest of our legislators. They are acting in support of Obama and their party's stance on the 2nd amendment! Their arguments are not based on rational thought.
Let's pick an area where young women are known to congregate. Let's take away a right they currently possess to protect themselves from the crime of rape. Let's publicize this fact to criminals around the country that we have effectively removed this line of defense from the hands of their potential victims. Let's congratulate ourselves for serving up these young women, college students by claiming we did it to protect them from themselves ( their supposed delusions of rape). Let's be Colorado democratic representatives, partners in crimes against women.
Recall this idiot!
Unlikely, they share that one characteristic with their arch-nemesises.
So make up your macho mind, can women be in combat roles in the military but not be armed becasue you don't think you women can handle guns? You got some splanin' to do Joey.
"College women should not have guns – Joe Salazar-" Because women being threatened would be able to defend themselves? Apparently he is afraid that people will fire thier weapons like he fires his mouth off without thinking… Idiot doesnt cover it!
Just had a thought! Stand back!!! So…if Salazar is worried about bystanders, that implies that there are people 'standing by' and watching the rape occur. Ergo, the 'bystanders' are either participants waiting their turn in a gang-rape, OR are simply useless B*$tards who are either getting their jollies by watching or are too cowardly to come to the aid of the woman. In either case, I'd say they DESERVE to be collateral losses. The serve no real purpose to humanity.
Oh and be sure to give them a whistle!
solution- throw all who endorse these solutions into a hard core prison for one week. After they have been raped repeatedly, lets see if their ideas change some……
I'm wondering where all the "bystanders" are during a rape. Don't they usually occur in areas where there is little chance of being observed by "bystanders?"
I picture a terrified young lady runnung through campus, crossing a yellow paint stripe on the ground, turning around and yelling, "Ha! I made it to a 'safe zone'! You can't touch me inside here!" as if we were playing capture the flag in elementary school. The rapist bends over with hands on knee and says, "No fair!" Yeah…like that will happen.
'Top story in the world'? I never thought much of your 'journalism' but really? A few hours on Twitter is the world? Oh my.
Put him in a jail cell, he will sing a new tune.
'Confused rape homicide (n.) the act of “popping” somebody with a cap inadvertently while experiencing a state of confused rape.' Oh god even starbucks doesn't taste good when flying out of your nose.
To bad he is not a woman . We would see a differt story me thinks.
Yep, we have decided to put women on the front lines in combat but they are too emotional to have a gun? Where the heck do they find these kind of people. He is almost worse than Harry Reid.
Is there even one dem with the moral standards to go against their "party" and say this was stupid?
Incisive, insightful, incitement, Peak!
