Shame on YOU, Liberal Lynn Woolsey!!
Shame on you, Lynn Woolsey
The Brilliant & Beautiful Michelle Malkin
(Attention Liberal bigots, racists & hate-mongers... Insert your usual
hate-filled personal attacks HERE if unable to refute the article... as
usual!)
If Calif. Rep. Lynn Woolsey were a Republican white male, feminists
would be picketing his office, Democratic National Committee Chairman
Terry McAuliffe would be calling for his immediate resignation, and the
New York Times would be in full editorial lynch mode.
But luckily for Lynn Woolsey, she is a card-carrying member of the
untouchable ultraliberal women's brigade. This prominent Democrat's
reprehensible behavior in a recent rape case has been buried by the
national press and National Organization for Women elites. Here's what
they won't tell you:
Last July, a 20-year-old thug named Stewart Pearson soaked a rag in
toilet bowl cleanser and Ajax and used it to smother 17-year-old Tina
Phan while she was sleeping in her Terra Linda, Calif., home. Tina
gasped, trying to fend off Pearson, but he wielded a knife and
overpowered her. Pearson raped and brutalized her. According to Phan,
Pearson told her he had committed the same crime before and planned to
do it again. Phan bravely persisted in pressing charges against
Pearson. He initially denied raping Phan, but admitted guilt last fall.
Enter Rep. Woolsey. As first reported by the Marin Independent Journal,
the outspoken feminist and anti-violence-preaching Democrat attempted
to intervene in the case. She used her official stationery to send a
letter to the local presiding judge in support of . . . the convicted
rapist.
In a bleeding-heart plea for leniency, Woolsey wrote: "Stewart Pearson
is a young man from a supportive family. I believe he has a promising
life ahead of him, and I urge you to consider these factors when
deciding on a suitable sentence." Woolsey noted further that Pearson
had volunteered for her campaign, as if stuffing envelopes for Woolsey
somehow mitigated the violence he committed against Tina Phan -- whose
promising life Woolsey didn't bother to show an ounce of concern for at
all.
Thankfully, the judge ignored Woolsey and sentenced Pearson to eight
years in prison, the maximum allowed under a plea deal.
What explains Woolsey's soft spot for this violent sexual predator?
Pearson is the son of one of Woolsey's aides. Did she believe him to be
innocent after carefully reviewing the facts of the case? "(I)n my
mind, he is not a criminal," Woolsey told the Marin newspaper. Yet,
Woolsey never bothered to fill her mind with the truth. She admitted
she "knew nothing" about Phan's rape case and "had no idea what the
courts had found." (Spoken like a true Clinton defender and callous
cronyist.)
The House Ethics Committee in Washington is probing whether Woolsey
intervened inappropriately. But Woolsey is guilty of a far bigger sin
- the fraud she has perpetuated in the name of her "progressive"
ideology at the expense of teen-age rape victim Tina Phan.
Woolsey has continually raked in campaign cash based on her reputation
as a tireless champion for women's and children's rights. She lambasted
college campuses for inadequate collection of rape and sexual assault
data. She aggressively pushed for the Violence Against Women Act, the
Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Victims' Housing Act, the Stalking
Prevention and Victim Protection Act, the Date-Rape Prevention Drug
Act, the Protection of Women in Prison Act, and the Battered Immigrant
Women Protection Act.
Woolsey has promoted women's rights in Afghanistan; called for stronger
prosecution of rapists in East Timor; performed in the "Vagina
Monologues" to show her solidarity with victims of rape, domestic abuse
and genital mutilation; and crusaded for the "United Nations
Convention to Eliminate Discrimination Against Women" to show how much
she cares for the oppressed women of the rest of the world.
Maybe if Tina Phan had been raped in a Third World country thousands of
miles away and demanded a U.S. tax-subsidized abortion, Woolsey would
have come to her aid. Instead, when it came down to putting her
high-minded liberal ideals where her mouth was, she betrayed an
innocent young constituent without hesitation.
Phan has courageously gone public to hold Pearson and Woolsey
accountable for their actions. Her congresswoman, Phan blasted over the
weekend, "represents the rapist who took advantage."
Lynn Woolsey, The Rapist's Representative. Liberal hypocrites in Marin
County will probably forgive her. For Tina's sake, the rest of us
should not let her forget.

Left-wing liberals are EVERYTHING they accuse the right of being. They
are mean, vicious, hateful, greedy, cold-hearted, closed-minded,
selfish, intolerant, bigoted and racist.
