ResignationsGLOBAL NATIONALThu Apr 14 2011, 5:30pm ETByline: DAWNA FRIESEN DAWNA FRIESEN: A couple of other campaign notes. A Green party candidate in Surrey, BC has resigned over a comment he posted on his Facebook page suggesting women might enjoy rape.
Surrey Now has more: "Alan Saldanha, who was the party's candidate, bowed out after a controversial comment on his Facebook was made public.
He listed his favourite quote, one he ascribed to Confucius, as: 'if rape is inevitable, lie back and enjoy it!'"
No comment from Liz May, by the way
Seriously.
WFDS
I've seen tons of yapping about this idiocy. I hadn't heard Confucius involved before. One of the news feeds said it was something one of Saldanha's buddies said.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I thought WFDS would have tweaked to this being said by none other than winningest NCAA basketball coach Bobby Knight (I think he was taking a break from throwing chairs that day.)
