Rape threats are NEVER ok.

Now all you anti-woman folks please write that down and repeat. It doesn’t matter to whom they are addressed, regardless of a woman’s politics or her position in society, rape threats are never OK. Several readers sent in this horrible radio clip today (warning: it is REALLY offensive) and I am truly disgusted.
I may not agree with Condoleeza Rice’s or Laura Bush’s politics, at all, but under no circumstances would I think it is OK to threaten them with sexual violence. What is up with all the verbal rape threats to women lately? Is this some kind of paranoid misogynist trend because so many (not that many) women are gaining access to power?
