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

Posted on 12/30/2007 11:47:36 AM PST by Robbin

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.

Well, it’s a fine idea if you think marriage gives you the legal right to own another human being and control their behavior and kill them when they don’t behave the way you like. There are plenty of people in the world who think that way...and they certainly aren’t all Muslims.

Can you find the article where Farah is advocating the death penalty for adultery?

Joseph Farah (who espouses these views) is a man.

Farrah Fawcett (or however her name is spelled) is a woman.

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

Adultry is murder in the heart isn't it? Maybe not a one night stand but affairs essentially are . And affairs are unnecessary in 2007. If you are that unhappy in your marriage, divorce and the effects on everyone are far less tragic than with adultry.

Justifiable homicide.

If you're married, take your vows seriously. Don't screw around.

Italy actually had a law up until the 80s I believe that allowed a spouse to murder the other if caught 'in flagrante delicto'.

LOL, Farah is a nut though...packing heat while taking rides on Dennis Kucinich's UFO. I guess he has a need to see if anyone is paying attention...kind of like some posters here who state something deliberately offensive in the hope that they will incite a lot of replies.

Comments on Clara Harris.

I followed this very carefully for several reasons. If I had been on the jury, I would not have found Mrs. Harris guilty. I think her defense should have been temporary insanity. She was poorly represented at trial.

Mrs. Harris was distraught, having made any number of adjustments, some rather humiliating, trying to keep her husband. And the evening that he died, he was supposed to be telling his girl friend good-bye for good. And Mrs. Harris had learned (from her private detective) that rather than her husband meeting his lover at a local, popular restaurant as he had promised his wife, he and the girl friend were at a prominent hotel — the very same hotel where the Harrises had honeymooned. It was too much for Mrs. Harris. Mrs. Harris was so upset, she was unable to drive, and instead her step daughter was driving Mrs. Harris’s car. They found the doctor’s car at the hotel, the daughter parked the car and they went into the hotel and found the lovers getting out of an elevator—obviously just leaving a hotel room.

Mrs. Harris physically attacked the girl friend, ripping her blouse. At that point, the hotel management SHOULD HAVE called the police.

But, no, the hotel management guided Mrs. Harris to her automobile in the parking lot, and proceded to put Mrs. Harris UNDER THE WHEEL. The woman was insane, blind with jealousy and was NOT going to allow her husband to leave with his girl friend. The rest is unfortunate. Dr. Harris reaped the consequences of how he mistreated his wife. He died as a result of her rage.

My opinion, Mrs. Harris was insane and not responsible. The law does recognize there are times when circumstances cause people to become so insane, so out-of-control — that they lose their ability to stop themselves. If there was ever a case of temporary insanity, this is it.

Flame on — this is how I see it.

Farah is a nutjob whose website is loaded with so much crap that pop-up cop won't let me near it.

I always thought it was good software but now it's keeping me away from Nanny-State "Consevatives" like Farah.

I recommend it highly

No, I spent about 20 minutes, but there are a LOT of articles on WND that cover adultery.
This one was at least close.
Sorry,
Robbin

My first wife and her lover planned and schemed for two years to financially ruin me and get away with the assets. With a two year jump of infidelity, she almost succeeded. I survived but she and her lover were rewarded for their planning and dishonesty because once a divorce decree is given, it is very hard to have it reversed for any reason. Her dishonesty and infidelity were rewarded handsomely. Fair? Not really...the cards are stacked against the man.

Marriage is..err WAS a contract. Like any other contract each side is required to uphold the contents of that contract. Is murder acceptable for adulterers? NO! Should severe economic damages be attached to the one who broke that contract? I say yes.

Has any one law overtly and covertly destroyed marriage? Yes! It is called no fault divorce

I agree. Murder is a bit too much. A severe beating is more in line.

Adultery is not a Felony level crime that I’m aware of
- it is a Breach of Covenant, which is Evil, and Breach of Contract

but not a Felony

Murder is a Felony act, deserving of Death

The cards are stacked against the innocent victim when people get together to defraud. You could be male or female. I’ve seen victims of both sexes.

And any children are always victims, whether boy or girl.

(Reply to J. Farah): Um, the other way you could deal with philandering is by disengaging from the perp and walking away. That way, instead of being in jail forever, you could just start a better life with a spouse who was faithful. No slut of a spouse is worth throwing your life away over. (I know it’s a radical suggestion, but ...).

Having divorced my first wife perhaps I have a different perspective on this.

A woman or a man can drive their spouse into the arms of another. It does not make it right but if a woman can be insane enough to kill her husband then a husband can be starved enough for affection to find it elsewhere. \

I was smart enough to wait until I was not married to start looking around but perhaps there are situations and people who are not strong enough to do so, I also waited until the kids were gone, it was hard to do. It has given me a much broader perspective on the whole issue.

Exactly my point. “No fault” divorce laws, from principle on through to practice are thoroughly unjust.

They allow people, male or female, to practically get away with...murder.

Murder is far worse than adultery.

Who says? What authority, other than your opinion, do you rely on to assert murder being far worse than adultery? Because our law and courts gutlessly treat adultery like no wrong at all?

I think I was only saying — better not to murder the spouse, as you will suffer terrible consequences. Always better to walk away from a crazy, hurtful person.

I didn’t say it was easy.

My husband divorced his first wife, and I am eternally thankful. He is a good man, too good for her.
