1. That's disgusting

[Fridays Child]

2. Count on Murdoch to come up with the most offensive and disrespectful headline.

A headline only a freepturd could love.

[TahitiNut]

3. Yeah. Right. Spousal abuse is a big yuk. The Post goes to the sewer again.

[Raejeanowl]

9. Whaddaya Mean "Goes To"?

How about climbs UP FROM, where it resides in perpetuity, and defines for all time the true meaning of eternal, inescapable, unmitigated sh*t?

[Triana]

4. NO surprise that Murdoch & Co. are misogynist enough to make a joke

...of domestic violence.

Knuckle-draggers.

5. Oh, they're going to hell... nt

6. This really

makes me want to drag the doubtless soft bellied small peckered pencil necked right wing geek who came up with this headline out into the street so I can show him what it feels like.

Issues. Trav has issues. Sorry. Breathe, Trav. Peace. Love. Sorry, folks. I'll try to be more enlightened ...

[gatorboy]

7. That is...

I mean, I can't....


...Wow...

[uppityperson]

8. Not quite. What a nasty headline.

[Swamp Rat]

10. Um, FCC??

[BlueIris]

11. Vile. Dear lurking neo-cons: this is the shit your propagandists are spewing.

Do you like your party now?

[deacon]

12. This will be the guy behind the wall street journal now too. n/t

[donheld]

13. I'll be you beat me up every morning

[HughBeaumont]

14. Why not? Democracy is a big joke to Rupy, why not spousal abuse?

[Lilith Velkor]

15. That headline is fuckin hilarious!

Call me callous if you must, but I have no respect for dead wife beaters.

'Beat' her to death...

[yurbud]

17. if I was the beaten, I'd take pleasure in that

[Lilith Velkor]

18. How kinky.

[Blue_Tires]
