February 5, 2003: Fatal Attraction (Farah says killing a cheating spouse is good)

I was thinking about the impact of this movie again while pondering Clara Harris, the Texas woman on trial for murdering her unfaithful dog of a husband. I've taken a lot of heat for suggesting Clara Harris should not only be freed, but be given a medal for running over her lying, cheating spouse. I guess some of my readers just don't get the point.

[Robbin]

I was called insane for suggesting Farah was a Kook because he advocated the death penalty for adultery. I couldn't find that article, thou I read it myself so I know what he said, but I found one where he He would not only Free a woman who murdered her cheating husband, but give her a medal. Fundamentally the same think I think ...

Nobody in his right mind wanted to end up like the Michael Douglas character in "Fatal Attraction."

As I recall the movie - it was a pretty 'happy ending' for Douglas' character.

Perhaps the woman’s actions provide a clue as to why her husband found it difficult to remain honest, and truthful to her.

[Gay State Conservative]

Death for adultery? Kill 33% (or more of men) and 25% (or more) of women?

[AuntB]

Ya gotta admit, it’s not a bad idea if applied to Bill Clinton.

[RichInOC]

I don’t know that it’s good, exactly, but it’s probably satisfying.

[CitizenUSA]

I think Farah is right in pointing out how adultery is evil, but he’s way, WAY off base in saying it justifies murder. People who cheat on their spouses deserve scorn, not death.

BINGO

[AnalogReigns]

His point is there was a time in this country where such a man would have been at least tarred and feathered, if not hung, for doing what he did.

Today, a spouse can lie, cheat, and steal, while committing adultery, then shack up with his/her paramour, and expect 50% of the property, and equal custody of the kids....

As a culture we give ZERO consequences to persons who by basic human standards should at least be shunned from normal society, if not worse. In many ways we are a people who has abandoned justice.

Did she have a right to take the law in her own hands? No. However, this is an area now, entirely lawless in America—and arguably the adulterer did get what he deserved.

because he advocated
I know what he said
He would not only Free a woman

Umm. You are aware that Farah is very much a woman?

[mamelukesabre]

I’ll go along with death for cheating as long as there is also death for refusing to have sex with your spouse.

[PAR35]

She isn’t in prison because she killed her husband. She’s in prison because she ran over him 3 times, and made his daughter watch.

If you shoot a cheating spouse, caught in the act in Texas, there’s a fair chance you won’t do hard time.

[bill1952]

>and arguably the adulterer did get what he deserved.

Uh huh.

[Loud Mime]

Murder is far worse than adultery. Each crime should not carry the same penalty nor should one justify the other.

He has a pretty big moustache in his picture at the link. Care to reconsider your position? http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=30879

Reading your post, why did Hillary pop to mind?

ugliest......woman.......ever

It certainly isn't something that should be legally sanctioned. Murder, even for adultery, should be met with incarceration for a long time - but I will always reserve sympathy for such a murderer.

For another example, if someone harmed my wife or kids, and I had the opportunity to enact vengeance, I could imagine doing so AND accepting the legal penalty (for murder/torture/whatever). I know, 'two wrongs don't make a right'. Yeah yeah.
