THis should be the END of this man's career (among other things). Vitter is one of those politicians that, when you think he can't get any lower, he manages to top himself once again. I am young person from Louisiana, and it is disgusting to know that people will still vote for this pig.
Sad so sad. That woman is in pain and I can relate. But this guy dismisses her like she is not real. My prayer is that she would heal. I comend her on coming out and I pray she keep shouting til someone listens. Shame on you mr vitter you would die if it happen to you or your family
The defense contractor corporations have committed trillions of dollars in fraud and serious war crimes and human rights violations, but ACORN?... must be stopped! LOLOL!!!!!!!! we really need to be going after the big fish. Send the right signals, and get the right responses. This little spat is just a symptom of a much larger problem with the corporate-controlled congress. Campaign Finance Reform NOW.
I asked, in writing, a couple of times about his views on women's rights, the sex industry, and their rights. I received no reply. Apparently he didn't like being referred to as a prostitute enthusiast. I also asked if he would tell his daughter that prostitution or pornography was a suitable career choice.
There is no reasoning with people like this; they are chauvinists to the core and represent the last gasp of the dinosaurs.
His scandal impacted his ability to assist this constituent as I headed into a BVA hearing. A year later, his VA staffers/liaisons made a series of mistakes that caused delays and left people shaking their heads and asking about the intelligence of those he hired. It is unusual to have a high number of young women working w/ VA matters for constituents as it is complicated, volatile, and personal. His staff is a representation of himself. Fortunately Landrieu's people stepped up to the plate
Vitter is only going at what goes into his pockets, not what is going into other people's pockets. He won't really care about something like this unless it happens to him.
POS Republican using Obama as his excuse. this is why women can't hold their nose & vote for them even though Obama stinks as well. GOP better get clue soon or they've re-elected Obama without any help from Democrats. Vitter ought to be castrated if he even has a set.
Thank you for posting this. He didn't even have to agree with her (although I agree with her!), but the contempt and disrespect he showed was incredible! As someone on Huffington Post said, even sociopaths know to pretend like they care... what is Vitter's excuse? Bravo to the woman for having the wherewithal and guts enough to keep talking and not back down.
Obama thought the bill needed work because he wasn't sure this one was "enforceable." But he agreed with the spirit of the bill.
A District Attorney investigating a murder case might say, "Don't go busting in without a search warrant. Let's wait and make sure we dot every I and cross every T. We need to get this guy and make sure it sticks."
That's completely different from a DA saying, "Don't go after this guy. He works for my Dad's company."
He didn't answer the question, he pasted it off on Obama. Then when she didn't let him do that, he walked away like a coward. Isn't it his job to talk to his constituents? Isn't that what he gets paid to do?
Shut her up??? Are you f***ing kidding? Vitter is a pig. He is the one who should shut up. He is the immoral one. This woman had the courage to speak out and you dare tell her to shut up! You are a coward! And he didn't answer the question at all; he passed the buck and not even with the truth. You make me sick to my stomach!
What these people talking to the senator fail to understand is that they are CATTLE and he is a FARMER.
What deluded fools. Do they really think this individual they are talking to, is going to concern himself with mundane things like crimes perpetrated by some of its cattle to the other cattle? NO, of course not. He has other, more important things to do -- such as instituting new laws to control the cattle and extract more profit from it.
he voted against the bill that would allow rape victims/employees of defense contract companies the right to prosecute in a court of law. rape victims are being silenced, and this fucker is defending that.
I think I have a solution to this problem. Set up a high powered cannon aimed directly in front of a sturdy brick wall and shot all 30 senators that voted against this bill into said wall. Then feed their remains to homeless cats and dogs. This would be the best episode of Mythbusters ever.
What a heartless man. I am sending this video to my sister in New Orleans and you can be damn sure Viitter will not be getting my sister's or any of her friends' votes.
of course a Republican will back a company over a rape victim, they back companies over anything, the health insurance companies over people that are sick a dying, etc., They do not care about people, just companies.
1998, David Diapers wife gave as answer to a question of what would happen if her husband were to stray: "I'm a lot more like Lorena Bobbitt than Hillary. If he does something like that, I'm walking away with one thing, and it's not alimony, trust me. I think fear is a very good motivating factor in a marriage." He strayed: maybe she wasn't into dressing him up in diapers!
And exactly which part of that constituted verbal abuse? The senator was not being attacked, he was being asked a question, one that he didn't directly answer, by the way.
Wow, Family Values Guy just turned his back on a rape victim... he must have had a hooker waiting in the hallway. I'm sure Rush and Fox News will be ALL OVER THIS... oh wait, he's a conservative Republican. Never mind.
And to the abused woman in the video, you have my deepest sympathy.
Don't be stupid. She was very respectful and well tempered on an emotional subject until his staff whisked him away to protect him from his own shame.
Wow... CLASSY. See, this proves that he (and those like him) are not interested in actually PROTECTING the people. He takes someone making an empassioned plea and turns it into a chance to slight Obama. It really shows that the Repubs hate Obama more than they care about America. Keep up the class act, guys. Glad I left that party, and no signs of any reason to go back anytime soon.
he responds "obama voted..." this is so obviously a politicized vote, i don;t understand how people still don't believe their politicians are acting against the administration rather than in the people's interest
.... not good enough. It's un-American (and unconstitutional) for a corporate entity to govern your judicial rights. This was an oversight, a loophole that needed precedent as a result of more international business and is now law. Suck on that.
Please - if you don't like socialism, give up the parks, beaches, police, firefighters, paramedics, public schools and teachers, judges, prosecutors, public defenders, public utilities, etc.
"Socialism" is a dirty word only in the United States - chiefly because Americans have no idea what they are talking about.
Waivers which are unconscionable are unenforceable in American courts. Generally speaking, waivers are unconscionable whenever they contain unfair surprise or violate a public policy of the United States. Because it is both against the policy of the US to permit an employment waiver to immunize a company from a rape suit, and because it is unquestionably an unfair surprise, the waiver should have been tossed by the judge.
Vitter said this event was organized so that he could hear from his constituents about their concerns, but when this woman tries to talk to him he walks away. what a frikkin asshole
This is absolutely pitiful and disgusting. I can't believe that a U.S. Senator has the gall to oppose an amendment that protects rape victims. This just proves to show that the Republicans who buy into the "pro-life" garbage only care about you before you're born. While you're alive is a COMPLETELY different story......These monsters must be swiftly taken care of and removed because they are embarrassing our nation and the morals we stand for.
What's Obama got to do with it? Is Vitter's opposition based on what he claims is Obama's opposition. Does this mean that Vitter is going to do an about-face and support all of the White House agenda. Somehow I doubt it. What a two-faced, arrogant SOB. Saddest thing is, he's one of my two Senators!
Forget term limits, we need the power to recall Senators if they're this incompetent and heartless. 6 years is too long a a term to have filth like this polluting our nation.
What a douchebag - the poor woman was RAPED and all she wanted was to explain her situation to him. He wouldn't even listen to her, cutting her off every two seconds. Then he tries to DEFLECT it onto Obama. You, sir, are a COWARD - shame on you!!!
It's time the people in the great state of LA show this, "person" the door. Congrats to this woman for confronting this, "person". Time to start thinking for yourself son. You should feel disgraced for what you have done and failed to do.
DickClownDoors- when you get ass raped, assuming you don't enjoy it, I hope you are provided an option to justice unlike this poor woman. As usual your info is incorrect.
A White House spokesman said that the DoD opposition is overstated in the message sent to Congress. "We support the intent of the amendment, and we're working with the conferees to make sure that it is enforceable," said spokesman Tommy Vietor.
And another thing: when are we going to wake up and acknowledge that there is a war against women being waged and the lawmakers, typically males, don't care and vote against our best interests all the time? Is anybody out there? If so, females need your help.
Obama was against the amendment because he is serves the same people David Vitter serves, and thats not the American people.
David Vitter spent time as a lawyer at Jesuit Loyola University.
Sadly Americans have zero idea what the Jesuits are. Because if they did they would be listed on the terrorist list instead of owning the Universities that pump out the David Vitters of the world.
This is how politicians work these days.
They try to ignore you, and when they cant then they talk over you.
Throw that BASTARD out of offce and the rest of the lifer politicians who voted along with him. How dare these low-life characters not stand up for the rights of victims against the big fat stinking corporations? Unbelievable!!
Republicans for Rape. Nice. Also the people throwing generalised 'anti-democrat' statements at the comment board, what's that got to do with rape legislation?
If by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people — their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties — someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a "Liberal," then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal." - JFK
This is NOT a partisan issue, or at least it shouldn't be. This vote should have been the right thing to do, but instead, men like Vitter could not support a woman's right of safety and justice. In Iraq, they would throw a shoe... I spit in his face.
This man is a piece of shit. And as for me, I was always an independent, but I tell you this---I will never, ever, under any circumstances vote Republican for the rest of my life. Fuck them all to hell.
Well. . . that's unfair. It's more fair to say that they care more about offending religious people or corporate sponsors than about whether people get gang raped or blown up. It's a subtle difference.
Conservatives claim to be all principles and shit. . . well then stand up to shitty people like the Blackwater guys. Acorn gives tax advice to a guy pretending to be pimp and ooooh noooo....Blackwater gang rapes employees and shoots civilians and it's part of doing business.
I think the way that this video sets it up is about right:
Should rape victims have the right to sue an employer who doesn't protect them?
Vitter says no.
What's there to debate?
Actually, what the Justice department said was not exactly what Vitter says they said. THEY had procedural concerns about the way the amendment was written. HE and his GOP asshole friends said it was an illegitimate infringement on a corporations rights to FORCE employees to accept arbitration.
Vitter is the face of all that is wrong with the right wing ideologues, a man who cheats on his wife with hookers whilst espousing family values and a man who puts Haliburton ahead of an American woman being raped in Iraq.
Why is her story "in serious contention"? Because it's easier to dismiss rape victims' claims than deal with the reality that rape happens and sometimes women get angry about it?
Also, "we will find out soon enough"? What the hell is that supposed to mean? Are you going to show up at her house and demand that she tell you every gruesome detail so you can pick it apart and declare her a liar?
Well, if hookers and diapers didn't get him kicked out, I don't think voting to protect Corporations who shield themselves and their raping employees will do it either.
There is no sin that the Republican faithful won't ignore (other than being gay).
-Newt.. left two wives (while both sick) for mistresses
-Rush.. drug addict, found with Viagra returning from trip were underage sex tourism is common. Said it was a boys fishing week.
If anyone knows who the woman is, or if she has a group, website, ANYTHING that I can lend some support to, please post here or message me. I WANT TO HELP. I admire her for stepping out and stepping FORWARD. A+++ for her.
A lack of concern about a problem like rape and a victim's rights should cost Vitter HIS JOB!! Watch the video, he's not listening to her, HE IS TALKING AT HER. Public servant? Ha!
These 30 should not be forgotten. My state has one, that I can't do anything about for a while. But I sent him a note that I intend to work for who ever runs against him the next time he runs. People want to contract away their civil rights to corporations thats cool, stupid, but they are free to do that. But the government should make sure they are not paying corporations to do it no matter what kind of outsourcing it is.
Mrs Vitter: Asked by an interviewer in 2000 whether she could forgive her husband if she learned he'd had an extramarital affair, as Hillary Clinton and Bob Livingston's wife had done, Wendy Vitter told the Times-Picayune: "I'm a lot more like Lorena Bobbitt than Hillary. If he does something like that, I'm walking away with one thing, and it's not alimony, trust me."
You go girl! It's so obvious - she talks about women who were raped being silenced - and Vitter tries to "overtalk" her, interrupting her, not listening, talking as she talks, not answering her questions, changing the topic - and she perseveres. A true Heroine.
No decent human being could possibly turn their back and walk away from a woman in tears talking about her nightmare of rape.
He is supposed to be a PUBLIC EMPLOYEE. He serves ALL of his constituency. He could not even throw her a bone. I am so sorry to hear that how are you doing? Nothing.
He could not even slow down to listen to empathize. That is psychotic. He is totally wrapped up in himself and she is inconveniencing him.
It's no surprise that Vitter is so dismissive of this woman. He was one of the main customers of the DC Madam, according to his wiki - he's probably abused his fair share of women. But, at least he's fighting to keep marriage pure!
THis should be the END of this man's career (among other things). Vitter is one of those politicians that, when you think he can't get any lower, he manages to top himself once again. I am young person from Louisiana, and it is disgusting to know that people will still vote for this pig.

What's Obama got to do with it? Is Vitter's opposition based on what he claims is Obama's opposition. Does this mean that Vitter is going to do an about-face and support all of the White House agenda. Somehow I doubt it. What a two-faced, arrogant SOB. Saddest thing is, he's one of my two Senators!

No, but he is in favor of prohibiting citizens from taking their rapists to trial.
It's a shame that a Senator would take just a disgusting position, just as it is shameful that he ignores his constituents.

DickClownDoors- when you get ass raped, assuming you don't enjoy it, I hope you are provided an option to justice unlike this poor woman. As usual your info is incorrect.
A White House spokesman said that the DoD opposition is overstated in the message sent to Congress. "We support the intent of the amendment, and we're working with the conferees to make sure that it is enforceable," said spokesman Tommy Vietor.

Obama was against the amendment because he is serves the same people David Vitter serves, and thats not the American people.
David Vitter spent time as a lawyer at Jesuit Loyola University.
Sadly Americans have zero idea what the Jesuits are. Because if they did they would be listed on the terrorist list instead of owning the Universities that pump out the David Vitters of the world.
This is how politicians work these days.

If by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people — their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties — someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a "Liberal," then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal." - JFK

This is NOT a partisan issue, or at least it shouldn't be. This vote should have been the right thing to do, but instead, men like Vitter could not support a woman's right of safety and justice. In Iraq, they would throw a shoe... I spit in his face.

Look at the coward run.
Why does he not stand and defend his position of denying due process to rape victims who work for American contractors.
Because we all know a rape victim has no rights and whatever happened to them, they asked for it.
Republicans never cease to amaze me with the decisions they make. Democrats are not much better - but on this issue the Republicans are dead wrong.
This is about basic human rights, when you do not stand for that - what do you stand for ?

Well. . . that's unfair. It's more fair to say that they care more about offending religious people or corporate sponsors than about whether people get gang raped or blown up. It's a subtle difference.
Conservatives claim to be all principles and shit. . . well then stand up to shitty people like the Blackwater guys. Acorn gives tax advice to a guy pretending to be pimp and ooooh noooo....Blackwater gang rapes employees and shoots civilians and it's part of doing business.
Come on guys.
bobjones864 2 years ago
I think the way that this video sets it up is about right:
Should rape victims have the right to sue an employer who doesn't protect them?
Vitter says no.
What's there to debate?
Actually, what the Justice department said was not exactly what Vitter says they said. THEY had procedural concerns about the way the amendment was written. HE and his GOP asshole friends said it was an illegitimate infringement on a corporations rights to FORCE employees to accept arbitration.
bobjones864 2 years ago 3
But who cares. Vitter is a coward.
Anybody care to defend Blackwater? Anybody think that Jamie Leigh Jones shouldn't have the right to her day in court?
Then vote for Vitter.
I just can't see any grey area on this one.
bobjones864 2 years ago
Vitter is the face of all that is wrong with the right wing ideologues, a man who cheats on his wife with hookers whilst espousing family values and a man who puts Haliburton ahead of an American woman being raped in Iraq.
Total and utter scum.

Why is her story "in serious contention"? Because it's easier to dismiss rape victims' claims than deal with the reality that rape happens and sometimes women get angry about it?
Also, "we will find out soon enough"? What the hell is that supposed to mean? Are you going to show up at her house and demand that she tell you every gruesome detail so you can pick it apart and declare her a liar?

But the government should make sure they are not paying corporations to do it no matter what kind of outsourcing it is.

Mrs Vitter: Asked by an interviewer in 2000 whether she could forgive her husband if she learned he'd had an extramarital affair, as Hillary Clinton and Bob Livingston's wife had done, Wendy Vitter told the Times-Picayune: "I'm a lot more like Lorena Bobbitt than Hillary. If he does something like that, I'm walking away with one thing, and it's not alimony, trust me."
Maybe that's why he likes diapers?

No decent human being could possibly turn their back and walk away from a woman in tears talking about her nightmare of rape.
He is supposed to be a PUBLIC EMPLOYEE. He serves ALL of his constituency. He could not even throw her a bone. I am so sorry to hear that how are you doing? Nothing.
He could not even slow down to listen to empathize. That is psychotic. He is totally wrapped up in himself and she is inconveniencing him.
Throw him out now.

It's no surprise that Vitter is so dismissive of this woman. He was one of the main customers of the DC Madam, according to his wiki - he's probably abused his fair share of women. But, at least he's fighting to keep marriage pure!
