Rape-monger
The Badger Blog Alliance is all over this, but I want to ante up my two bits.Sly Sylvester, that incredibly rude radio "personality" has previously called Colin Powell an "Uncle Tom" and Condi Rice an "Aunt Jemimah" for what he sees as their subservient roles in the administration. I've ranted on this before. Oh, and just as a reminder, this guy tends to "apologize" when his antics get him in the media, but his "apologies" are not sincere, not apologies, and tend to be more of the same asinine stupidity, like the original offending comments.
Well, he's doing his best to stir the pot again. I don't know, maybe it is radio sweeps week or something. Recently, he suggested that Alderwoman Robbie Webber should be raped by somebody like Kobe Bryant. The jerk won't release a tape of his comments, so his exact words are unknown, but the gist is this: She refused an invitation to come on his show, so he suggested she was too uptight, and needed a little violent action over a chair. He is supposed to apologize on air, but we all know what this really means. He's going to "apologize" without any sincerity or actual real apology and turn the apology into another media feeding frenzy to garner the spotlight for himself yet again.
What is it about this guy? Does he just love being an ass? He is incredibly insensitive to those of us who have actually survived sexual violence. He's a mouth-breathing knuckle-dragging barbarian. I would suggest that he deserves a little of what he's advocating for this woman. If he'd like to try it out, I'm sure we can find a lonely convict to be his date.
To add insult to injury, with his apology he is donating $100 to the Rape Crisis Center. $100? That's chump change. That doesn't even keep this bozo in Ho-hos.
I wouldn't be surprised if this guy is just a woman-hater in his normal life. Some girl dumped him and he has never gotten over it. Why else would he advocate violence against some woman for simply not wanting to participate in his circle jerk?
It is sad really. Instead of using his powers for good, he instead works for evil. He works to lessen the horror of sexual assault by bringing it into the mainstream and suggesting that if that violence is at the hand of some celebrity, ...why, you ought to be grateful for the privelege. This is patently irresponsible!
Please excuse me if I don't buy into that particular brand of horseshit. Sexual violence...RAPE...is not something pretty. It certainly isn't funny. And, under no circumstances should anyone advocate it as a remedy for someone else's behavior simply because you think they need to relax. Let's be perfectly clear: there is NOTHING relaxing about rape. Is there anything relaxing about getting the crap beaten out of you? Same thing. The bruises on the outside may heal, but the internal emotional scars take years to correct.
This guy is little more than a hate advocate. He casually suggests violence be visited on someone. I despise this feeble-brained, ignorant, pestilential, and morally repugnant degenerate. I don't honestly know why anybody listens to him. (But then, I don't understand the appeal of Howard Stern either.)
However, I would suggest that before he go advocating remedies, he try them out himself first. Just to be clear, I'm not advocating violence against him. I'm merely suggesting he try a slice of the same pie of which he speaks so highly.
