These men believe in violence against women

How shameful.  No matter how much they smile and act like they care, they don't care about women at all.

It seems the issue is native Americans, LBGTs and immmigrants. If they would make a legal argument for this it might give us a chance to let them know how attorneys can get around it rather than throwing all of the women under the bus in their idiology.

Tabor: I am not sure what you mean here.

Hello Hattie, I came over from Rainy Day Thoughts. I like your blog and I love Hawaii. My sister in law is from Hilo. But, I lean conservative so I have to ask a question. I am curious did you post a similar article last year when this bill was introduced by a Republican woman in Congress as HR4970? It passed with 216 Republican votes and 6 Democrat votes and 182 Democrats voted against it. The bill then died in the Democratically controlled Senate. I would post the names of all the Dems that are for Violence against women but it would take too much space.

Of course I know a lot of people don't believe same sex partners, immigrants and Native Americans deserve protection against domestic violence, but I happen to think it's a good idea.
I think you are being misinformed.

I am willing to concede that not all of these men believe in violence against women. It would be more accurate to say that they don't care about women as a class and are indifferent to the fate of women who are not of use to them or who (even worse) oppose them.

I agree that all the groups that you included should be equally protected as should men and children be protected from violent women. I read the comments on the Huff post article and it seems both sides have decent arguments on last years bill.
I don't put a lot of stock in what Rachel Maddow says. I would trust her reporting about as much as I trust Rush Limbaugh's.

That is the false equivalence argument. Purest sophistry.
