The War

So, now it comes out that a prominent Republican candidate once defended a man who was accused of raping a 12 year old girl.  That's not such a big deal - people need defense lawyers and we do try to presume innocent until proven guilty.

The big deal is that the candidate was not only sure that the man was guilty, that he HAD raped the girl, but got him off with the type of shenanigans that make people loathe defense lawyers.  Including attacking the 12 year old victim.  Which apparently the lawyer found quite funny when speaking of it in an interview.

Once more the Republican disdain for women is on display.  Once more their war on women is highlighted.  Once more the Republicans...

Oh.  Wait.
