"Now girls, Daddy says don't get all ruffled because some jocks gang-raped a girl and posted the video online and tweeted about it to ther friends and THEN made a video humiliating the victim and bragging about it! Don't be upset that nobody in her creepy town of Steubenville did a thing to stop the Rape Crew. Daddy sez you have no right to get upset at all. You are making Daddy uncomfortable so just stop that. Daddy's feelings are SOOOOO wounded over your discussions - more wounded than the victim's!"
Their little feelings are so delicate, they don't want to hear any bad news. And they want us to pretend we didn't hear any either.
In the words of the Dixie Chicks, I am nowhere near ready to "make nice" so some people can live in their bubbles.
I am going to print this one out and put it on my car...

Protest THIS, suckers!
