“Don’t forget: feminism is the problem, and rape is the solution.”?

Asked by LadyMarissa (16302points) June 5th, 2018

Nathan Larson is running for Congress in Virginia as an independent. He’s an admitted pedophile who brags that he’d be “banging” his 3 y/o daughter IF he had custody of her. Fortunately he doesn’t!!! He repeatedly raped his ex wife until she couldn’t stand it any longer. She eventually committed suicide to stop the abuse. Her parents fought for & gained custody of the little girl to try & keep her safe. He’s also a White Supremacist. He’s an ex con who ran 2 websites…one to bring together pedophiles & the other to teach men how to rape their women in order to keep them in line. Both sites have been taken offline but he’s working to reestablish them. He doesn’t bother to deny his affiliation with both causes but brags about them. He plans to work on making it legal for fathers to marry their daughter.

Under no circumstances.

Trump has emboldened psychopaths everywhere. The fact that a certified slug attained the Presidency is the cue for sociopaths that just as they suspected they “have nothing to be ashamed of”.

The guy is a nut. But being a nut and a pedophile and an ex con (and any number of other negatives) doesn’t mean you can’t run for office. It costs a lot of money to run for office. I wonder who’s backing him. It sounds like he needs to go back to prison.

People need to understand that regardless of his pedohilia the national law that bans rape in any kind of form cannot be changed and is still in effect. What is more important is not his past but whether or not he is a capable and skillful man in bringing great and productive change to the society. I care more about the end result so if he really is up to the task and can get the job done then why not, the only reason I wouldn’t vote for him would be due to the existence of better candidate.

Sounds like our legal system let us down. He should be in jail.

His poor daughter. They need to change her name and move out of the country. He needs to be in jail.

@Unofficial_Member: A person who states such things is likely to shape policy to his own convictions. I refuse to take a chance on the “but maybe he’ll be a good representative” line of reasoning.

As someone who grew up in Virginia, I can guarantee you that this guy has no chance of winning. He may get some votes, but not enough to get a seat, and most likely not enough to cause any concern as the tallies come in.

And, no, I would not vote for him.

In a non-Trump world, this guy would never have been noticed.

In the current world, where outrageousness seems to be the message of the day, all the whackos come out of the woodwork and are taken seriously.

This is what the right wing, and in particular the Libertarians want, when they talk about personal autonomy and freedom. So thank them for giving people like this guy a platform.

I live in Virginia and went to school in Charlottesville. I’m sickened by how such a lovely town, which both highly-educated and left-leaning, has been having such dreadful events this year. First, there was the horrendous white supremacy march, with participants bused-in from out-of-state, that resulted in a death. Now, this unspeakable creature is running to represent Charlottesville in Congress. Mind-boggling…

I have a feeling the guy is just using the publicity of running for office to push his sick agenda.

@ARE_you_kidding_me Wouldn’t be the first time, I agree.

@Unofficial_Member How would someone who bragged about raping be mentally fit for any job. Government officials are suppose to uphold laws and the fact that he hasn’t raped anyone (a rapist is forever a rapist) doesn’t mean he will continue to follow a law he doesn’t believe is a crime. Any who looks at a child as a sexual person is mentally ill. I would never vote for such an animal. There is no such thing, as, a pedophile, rapist, white supremist who is a good person. All 3 of those things tell me that he doesn’t view anyone who isn’t a white grown male as being of any value, and government officials are suppose to serve everyone and not be a criminal. He definitely does not sound reformed in any way. So I don’t care if he could make it rain money, and rainbows. Filth is filth and nothing good comes from it.

@Pandora “How would someone who bragged about raping be mentally fit for any job. ”
– You and I would hope so, and yet…

Not as extreme as that, but still:

Trump: Yeah, that’s her. With the gold. I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her. You know, I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.

Bush: Whatever you want.

Trump: Grab ’em by the pussy. You can do anything.”

Let me take a shot in the dark, and assume he’s running on a Republican ticket. Nah, that’s a sucker bet.

@NomoreY_A Let me take a shot in the dark, & assume that you didn’t even look at the article. Nah, that’s a sucker bet.

He’s running as an Independent
