RINO Paul blames the victim

[Guns Guns Guns]

Texas Representative RINO Paul today stood by statements he made in his 1987 book arguing that someone who is a victim of sexual harassment in the workplace should bear some responsibility for resolving the problem and that society should not bear the burden of paying for the care of AIDS victims.



In his 1987 book “Freedom Under Siege: The US Constitution after 200-Plus Years,” Paul wrote about sexual harassment in the workplace, “Why don’t they quit once the so-called harassment starts? Obviously the morals of the harasser cannot be defended, but how can the harassee escape some responsibility for the problem?’’



In another passage, Paul wrote, “The individual suffering from AIDS certainly is a victim - frequently a victim of his own lifestyle - but this same individual victimizes innocent citizens by forcing them to pay for his care.”



On Fox News Sunday this morning, host Chris Wallace asked Paul, now a top contender in the Republican presidential race, whether he still agreed with those statements.

Wow, the harassee should resign when harassed because it's really their fault? Really? Really?


However on the AIDS issue, not sure I can argue, it's a sickness, not an assault, call them patients not victims and treat it like any other disease.

(Excerpt) On the sexual harassment issue, Paul distinguished between verbal and physical harassment but said neither one warranted a federal law to prevent it.

“If it’s just because somebody told a joke to somebody who was offended, they don’t have a right to go to the federal government and have a policeman come in and put penalties on those individuals,” Paul said of verbal harassment. “They have to say maybe this is not a very good environment. They have the right to work there or not work there.”

Paul continued: “Because people are insulted by rude behavior, I don’t think we should make a federal case about it. I don’t think we need federal laws to deal with that. People should deal with that at home.” (End)

There we have it. If a guy sees a pretty gal in the office or at the coffee shop and the guy says, "Hey, Babe. Wanna have some fun?" the proper response is, "That was rude of you. Here is my address. Stop by later and we'll discuss it."

I can't tell if you're angry or not, it's all those /'s they confuse me.
