Repubs Think Franken Painted Them As "Rapist Sympathizers"
I think Jezebel had the right take on this. Al Franken doesn't need to say a word to mitigate Republican venom. It is abundantly clear that the party doesn't care about the rape victim in this instance, and it's not a case about leftists versus rightists but a case of sheer assholery. If they don't want to look bad, they shouldn't defend rape.
Not like the left is in the clear (the Polanski hulabaloo was alarming) but at least none of those folks are in power or in law enforcement. Politicians are very dumb sometimes, and when they dig themselves into their hole, their first reaction is to whine about the proportions of their caves.
