http://twitter.com/#!/charlescwcooke/status/307180619849408512 When it comes to jackassery, Media Matters “research fellow” Oliver Willis is no slouch. And today, he’s once again showcasing his knack for the asinine. When the Violence Against Women Act expired at the beginning of this year, the House GOP shouldered the blame for prolonging the “war on women.” Today, the highly flawed legislation passed in the House, 286-138, with 87 Republicans voting in favor. Because not enough Republicans voted for the legislation until today and many once again voted against it, according to logical acrobat Willis, it stands to reason that the GOP helps rapists and pedophiles: Once again GOP on the hill votes on the the side of VAWA that hurts victims of rape. #waronwen — Oliver Willis (@owillis) February 28, 2013 It’s great House GOP let victims of rape and child porn dangling for a year for no good reason. You’re great people. — Oliver Willis (@owillis) February 28, 2013 @brady_cremeens they voted against it, it provides path to restitution for rape/child porn victims — Oliver Willis (@owillis) February 28, 2013 i wrote about how gop obstruction of #VAWA was helping rapists and pedophiles thedailybanter.com/2013/01/how-re… — Oliver Willis (@owillis) February 28, 2013 @brady_cremeens yeah, crazy i blame republicans for republicans opposing reauthorizing VAWA — Oliver Willis (@owillis) February 28, 2013 “reauthorizing a law that helps female victims of crime? including rape and pedophilia? i can’t have that.” – 22 GOP Senators, 138 GOP Reps — Oliver Willis (@owillis) February 28, 2013 victims of rape + pedophilia = “frivolous” thedailybanter.com/2013/01/how-re…MT @brady_cremeens VAWA is frivolous legislation made for lawyers It’s such a shame, though, that Willis doesn’t have any outrage left to direct at the legislation itself. The VAWA is fraught with problematic provisions that will do nothing to curb violence against women and that may, in fact, violate citizens’ right to due process. Fortunately, reality-based lifeforms aren’t letting Willis off the hook: Women may not get raped if they could carry guns MT @owillis: again GOP on hill votes on side of VAWA that hurts victims of rape. #waronwen — Meredith (@Mermaz) February 28, 2013 Why does @owillis falsely claim the GOP is helping rapists and pedophiles, but ignore Obama’s votes that actually do? bit.ly/Tc7QiV — Brady Cremeens (@brady_cremeens) February 28, 2013 Menendez agrees. MT @owillis: cons very upset when you point out their guys voted on the side that helps rapists + pedophiles — Gregoré (@greg_zemaitis) February 28, 2013 @owillis @brady_cremeens Traffic in child porn is already illegal. What does VAWA do that’s new? — Jeff Medcalf (@JeffMedcalf) February 28, 2013 @owillis Are you stupid or ignorant, or deceitful? It’s one of those for you to pull this despicable crap. #VAWA is Democrat manipulation. — Melvin Udall (@Melvin_Udall_) February 28, 2013 @owillis Then you’d be deceitful or dim. You aren’t even *trying* to address GOP objections. Despicable. #VAWA — Melvin Udall (@Melvin_Udall_) February 28, 2013 @owillis This is pure cowardice and deceit from you. Is there a low that is beneath you? — Melvin Udall (@Melvin_Udall_) February 28, 2013 Not as far as we can tell.
