Good question. The feminists look for problems that don't exist.

Denny Crane: "There are two places to find the truth. First God and then Fox News."

What crap.

I only beat people up after a Yankee loss.

Never a football game.

[Allegra]

What a load.

"In 1994, one year after the press conference was called in Pasadena, the Violence Against Women Act was signed into law. The Act not only provided $3.5 billion in funding for programs to assist battered women...

Now, about Global Warming....................

The mythology impacts the abortion argument as well. Legalized abortion is promoted as 'safe' (ie, no complications, which is fraudulent--statistics are not widely compiled or reported) yet 'millions' of women are said to have died from complications of illegal, 'back alley abortions.' Appararently, what the fits the agenda at hand is what is reported.

And please no flames, I am not one of those pro-lifers who bring the abortion debate to every thread.

I am a graduate of ODU('96) so the story caught my eye. I'm glad Janet Katz helped put an end to the lie,looks good for ODU. I don't know if ODU staff were aware their report was being misused. If they did know didn't try to stop it... not good.

This reminds me of a by gone era in American political history. A time I like to call "PAHA" (Post Anita Hill America). A time when candlelight vigils were held on the steps of the Capitol, awards were passed out to women who had the courage to speak up about their sexual abuse, women were believed without reproach (after all, women don't lie about such things), laws were passed to protect them from abuse (who's going to vote against the "Violence Against Women Act"?), the 'Year of the Woman' was proclaimed. ODU installed "emergency phone booths" for women throughout the campus in the early 90's, complete with blue lights on top so they could be easily found at night.

PAHA came to an end because a woman spoke up about sexual abuse by a sitting Democrat President.
That really says it all about PAHA for me, and defines what it was really all about.

My son came home from school the other day repeating this nonsense.

To prove my point, I looked up "Superbowl Spousal Abuse" on snopes.com.

Nothing.

Is there a factual source I can access to put this lie to bed?

Thanks in advance.

[Pete'sWife]

Nevermind. I just looked up "Superbowl" at snopes.com and found the info.

Now if they really wanted to put this lie to rest, they would have tracked down Sheila Kuehl (the attorney who started this crap in '93), and had some NFL linebackers sit on her while the word *LIAR* was tattooed on her forehead and she could spend the rest of her life explaining what it was all about.

At the minimum, an attorney who lied to the public like that should be disbarred. Even Emperor Billigula had his license yanked after sufficient prodding to the Arkansas Bar.

Well, this is one in a series of lies - "Domestic violence is the leading case of birth defects", "The biggest single reason women are admitted to emergency rooms is domestic violence", and the most recent whopper, "pregnant women are more at risk to die from domestic violence than anything else".

These lie continue to look to gain support for domestic violence programs, a multi-billion dollar a year business, a business that employs probably about 20,000.

While we can condemn domestic violence, you have to wonder about why the folks that promote these programs come up with such whoppers to enlist support. When you consider that after 20 years and throwing billions of dollars at this issue the true recorded incidences of domestic violence have dropped about the same as the crime rate over all.

But, the folks drawing salaries running these programs would rather you look at their lies than the truth.

Beating fat, ugly feminazi skanks at the polls was sure fun this fall. Can we have an instant replay at halftime during the Superbowl?

[-YYZ-]

It's said that 92.8 % of all statistics are simply made up on the spot.

Now if they really wanted to put this lie to rest, they would have tracked down Sheila Kuehl (the attorney who started this crap in '93



...actually, they just keep reelecting this most leftwing,
radical way out lesbian to the CA Senate so she can keep cramming her agenda down CA school kids throats...

[AmishDude]

Here ya go: Super Bull Sunday (Keep in mind, also, that Snopes leans left on political issues, so if they say this is false, it truly is. And this is false. In fact,

The claim that Super Bowl Sunday is "the biggest day of the year for violence against women" demonstrates how easily an idea congruous with what people want to believe can be implanted in the public consciousness and anointed as "fact" even when it has been fabricated out of whole cloth.

(To buttress my point, snopes.com calls this a "noble lie".)

Where did you get that Denny Crane quote and who is he?
