South Carolina Democratic Chairman Dick Harpootlian, imploring party activists Friday night to defeat this state’s Indian-American governor, predicted next year’s Democratic standard-bearer would “send Nikki Haley back to wherever the hell she came from.”

Haley was raised in South Carolina and attended college here, but her parents were Sikh immigrants

As to whether he thought the comment could be seen as touching on her race and parents’ immigrant status, Harpootlian responded: “No, she was born in Bamberg [South Carolina] and lived in Lexington. Anybody implying anything different is attempting to feign insult.”

Without accusing Harpootlian of race-baiting outright, Rob Godfrey called it “play[ing] to the lowest common denominator.”

“Unfortunately, this seems to be a trend coming out of the South Carolina Democratic Party,” said Godfrey.

“It may be advisable to submit [rather] than resist,” reads the brochure (.pdf), issued to airmen at Shaw Air Force Base in South Carolina, where nearly 10,000 military and civilian personnel are assigned. “You have to make this decision based on circumstances. Be especially careful if the attacker has a weapon.”

The brochure, acquired by Danger Room, issues a series of guidances on “risk reduction” for sexual assault. Among others, it advises people under sexual attack in parking lots to “consider rolling underneath a nearby auto and scream loud. It is difficult to force anyone out from under a car.” A public affairs officer at Shaw, Sgt. Alexandria Mosness, says she believes the brochure is current.

While the brochure also explains that sexual assault is not always committed by people who “don’t look like a rapist” — attackers “tend to have hyper-masculine attitudes,” it advises — it does not offer instruction to servicemembers on not committing sexual assault. Prevention is treated as the responsibility of potential victims.
“Rapists look for vulnerability and then exploit it in those who: are young (naive); are new to the base, deployment, area, etc.; are emotionally unstable,” the brochure (.pdf) continues.

Richwine’s dissertation asserts that there are deep-set differentials in intelligence between races. While it’s clear he thinks it is partly due to genetics — “the totality of the evidence suggests a genetic component to group differences in IQ” — he argues the most important thing is that the differences in group IQs are persistent, for whatever reason. He writes, “No one knows whether Hispanics will ever reach IQ parity with whites, but the prediction that new Hispanic immigrants will have low-IQ children and grandchildren is difficult to argue against.”

no wonder there are 70 sexual assaults a day

this absolves men as though we just can't help but sexually assault, so it's up to the woman to fend us off or just 'get it over with'. i mean, holy crap.

Rather than excluding what he judges to be low-IQ races, we can just test each individual’s IQ and exclude those with low scores. “I believe there is a strong case for IQ selection,” he writes, “since it is theoretically a win-win for the U.S. and potential immigrants.”

'risk reduction' is to truly go after the men. not this video game bullshit. it's rather endemic in our society at the honus being on the woman to not do this, not go here, not wear that. fuck that. it's on the men ENTIRELY.

hey guys, IS SHE SOBER?! oh boy, what education.

'risk reduction' is to truly go after the muggers. not this video game bullshit. it's rather endemic in our society at the honus being on the mugged to not do this, not go here, not wear that. fuck that. it's on the mugger ENTIRELY.

I remember reading about people out looking for him. Maybe it wasn't a manhunt, but he's still an asshat and you still don't care what people do if they have an R next to their name.

And I am bad at posting int his thread.

see, I just made a typo. I suck.

do you really think you would vote for a Republican over a Democrat for, say, Philly mayor or Pennsylvania governor just because he had a mid-level scandal on the books? I'm about 99% sure you would still vote for the Democrat
