In an appearance on talk radio's The Lars Larson Show last week, conservative talking head Ann Coulter claimed that women who report rapes, most of the time, are just "girls trying to get attention."

According to Right Wing Watch, the Godless author said that a botched Rolling Stone story about a campus rape at the University of Virginia just shows that "there is no campus rape problem."


Comment: That is some ridiculous logic there! So because Rolling Stone backs down on their story, which is probably just the tip of the iceberg regarding college sexual assaults, Coulter decides that campus rape is all just a method young girls use to get attention. Yeah, because being known for being raped and then being an outcast in your social circle is so desirable! Seriously, Coulter doesn't seem to even have two neurons firing here. Either that, or she's projecting her own inner state onto others and that is what she would do to get attention, because psychopaths aren't bothered by the same stuff normal individuals are so feeling cut off from your social circle wouldn't matter to them.


Coulter dismissed the notion of date or acquaintance rape out of hand, insisting that unless a victim gets "hit on the head with a brick," it isn't a legitimate rape.

"People know what a rape is," Coulter insisted, "and to have girls trying to get attention - from Lena Dunham to this poor psychotic at UVA, Lady Gaga claiming she was raped but she didn't admit it to herself for five years. What major crime do people say, 'I didn't admit it to myself?'"

In a second part of the interview, the 53-year-old pundit said that liberals are vastly overplaying instances of campus rape, which, in her experience is generally perpetrated by liberal men like the "Clintons and Kennedys," anyway.


Comment: Yes, it's all those evil liberals fault! Those dang Clinton and Kennedys are the only ones who rape, and the young Republican frat members would never engage in that behavior. Ann Coulter is clearly living in another reality.
