Reply #40: I guess it isn't atrocious if someone molests their child

[Straight Shooter]

After all, other kids are getting raped and murdered in America. Ask your friend if it isn't atrocious for someone to beat the crap out of their spouse, as long as they don't kill them in a gruesome manner.

It isn't a matter of degree that makes one thing worth becoming outraged about and not another thing. This is just another Repub distraction tactic. Republicans don't have a monopoly on words which have emotional impact, and they have no right to tell others how they may or may not describe an event.
