Comments on: Corporate Supremacy and the Rape of a Human Girl http://firedoglake.com/2009/10/18/corporate-supremacy-and-the-rape-of-a-human-girl/ Firedoglake weblog Fri, 17 Feb 2012 15:08:20 -0600 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.2 By: blankstare http://firedoglake.com/2009/10/18/corporate-supremacy-and-the-rape-of-a-human-girl/#comment-2000532 blankstare Wed, 21 Oct 2009 23:01:52 +0000 http://firedoglake.com/?p=45717#comment-2000532 Thanks for this very disturbing, but informative article. Great second sentence too. Well put! We need to hold everyone who voted against this young woman, (R) AND (D), accountable for this vote. History can assure you that we will go nowhere if we just keep up this Democrat vs. Republican mentality. Both sides have a long history of voting against US. We need to hold everyones' feet to the fire if we are going to fix this mess we're in. Thanks for this very disturbing, but informative article. Great second sentence too. Well put!

It will not be a life worth living in jail or out. My only hope is that everyday they live between now and then, that the uncertainty of their future drives them closer and closer to delirium. Hey Senators, the votes you have lost because of your vote will surely outweigh the votes you've gained. NEVER LET THEM FORGET THEIR VOTE.

A tip, if you go to senate.gov and click the senators link, then click on "what is a class" you can get a list of senators due for ouster in any election year. The above creeps are all class III, running next year. Every woman in every state represented by these jerks needs to contact their offices now. Of the 30 Rethugs who voted against Franken’s bill, the following are up for re-election in 2010:

*Bond (R-MO)

How about posting the names of the rapists to the internet? Can't she file a civil case against each of the accused? Mercenaries are sociopaths. So are the politicians and business people who hire others to do their sociopathic deeds for them. This is simply wrong.

Had it been a male victim, I would have chosen the word boy. Like I said, I made the choice consciously.

This issue certainly needs much more coverage. Thank you for writing about it. I'd also like to join with those who rightfully pointed out that the headline should read "woman", not girl.

Seems like corporations want to have the same rights as persons, but not the same responsibilities. The first thing we need to get after is the corporate right to political speech. We need to end that. Thanks for bringing the issue of fictitious corporate personhood to the forefront again.

I think Republican women are just as venomous and corporate-loving as Republican men, and I suspect that if these five were in the Senate, they would have voted the same way as "the Dirty Thirty."
