Yep Alcee Hastings always the class act. The Impeachment and removal from office was just a warm up act for that pandering scumbag.

These headlines just write themselves, don't they?

 
Benevolent Misanthrope [TotalFark] 2009-05-02 11:16:20 PM  
Why anyone would put these sex terms in a hate crime bill is anyone's guess, but it clearly upset Hastings, a former federal judge who was impeached and removed from office after being charged with corruption and perjury in the late 1980s.

Well - my guess is that they got turned on by naming them. As did Alcee, I'm sure. It remins me off the time when the local ministers ogt together to discuss how to deal with "the pornography problem" in my hometown back in the 80s. They had a huge box of examples that had been picked up in local stores... which they all had to flip through. Every single example. All of them. Just to exclaim over how awful they were.

Farkin' hypocritical asshats.

Do they mean frotteurism?

Anyways... paraphilias are considered mental disorders, and are found in DSM.

But, I bet they enjoyed looking at each others hard-on as they condemned pornography and homosexuality.

Did he mention the diaper fetish? Because that would have been hilarious.

"Hey Vitter, they're talking about you in the House!"

"Really, what abo- oh, you son of a biatch!"

 
Notabunny 2009-05-03 01:23:31 AM  
ftfa The outraged Hastings was apparently mad that the odd array of sex acts and fetishes were listed in an amendment to a hate crimes bill that he had to read over.

What a boo-boo at the printers might look like

Hey, quick question here, but serious. Is it possible to have a tna fetish?

I've been wondering this for a while, because I think I might have a fetish for "t", mainly, and also for "a." But then I remind myself that boobs are naturally a part of a woman's body.

So, is it a fetish if I obsess over tits compulsively, seeking sexual gratification?

Can a guy have a tit fetish?

Hastingsism- The act of being aroused by listing & defining sexual fetishes in public.

Yeah, it'd be more about liking them exclusively. Preferring blondes over brunettes, for instance, is a fetish. Honestly, the word isn't used all that much anymore, people typically say "preferences" even if the reverence/obsession is in fact excessive. Jsut a politeness thing, as it's got a negative connotation.

If toucherism is actually a word, how does it differ from frotteurism?

why would stuff about asphyxiphilia and apotomnophilia be in the hate crimes bill?

are people with fetishes the target of violence?

I think from what I heard in the video was they were excluded from protection, but I could be wrong.

brainiac-dumdum:
I suspect the entire point of putting this list in there was that someone wanted to equate sexual orientation with sexual fetishes. Or they just wanted to have attack ad fodder against the people who vote for the bill without reading all the details.

Cue the man-farking-a-turtle pic.

From the act:
"The incidence of violence motivated by the actual or perceived race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability of the victim poses a serious national problem."

Someone wanted an amendment added that excluded all the listed fetishes (apotemnophilia, asphyxophilia, autogynephilia, coprophilia, exhibitionism, fetishism, frotteurism, gerontosexuality, incest, kleptophilia, klismaphilia, necrophilia, partialism, pedophilia, sexual masochism, sexual sadism, telephone scatalogia, toucherism, transgenderism, transsexual, transvestite, transvestic fetishism, urophilia, voyeurism, or zoophilia - essentially everything except homosexuality) from the term "sexual orientation" as it was used in the bill and any amendments to the bill.

Hastings was basically pointing out that that was load of crap.

IrateShadow [TotalFark] 2009-05-03 01:50:07 AM  
What's with all the hate for Hastings? He saw a load of bullshiat tacked onto the bill, and aired his complaint by embarrassing everyone with it. Sometimes you have to rub people's noses in ther mess so that they'll learn.

 
Wolf Blitzer is a Substitute Teacher 2009-05-03 01:50:46 AM  
Was Hastings upset that the fetishes were protected? I don't really understand. Does the hate crimes bills contain provisions for each of these provisions? Does anyone have a link to the actual bill? Why can't articles contain a link to the bill for those of us smart enough to actually understand the actual legal language?

Thanks. I wasn't sure of the bill number. I understand that stuff, I worked in Congress, I just wish articles would make it easier by at least including the bill number.

Dunno depends on what you are asking, are you asking me if the pic was him or if I am an alt. If the former is the query you were posing, no idea. I just did a google search for "shirtless fat man". If you asking if I am an alt, I hate to admit it but I am altless. (been here for years, never felt the need to cower behind anonimity).

I would agree that its hard to see why this rider would be attached to this bill...

But I have to wonder, why did he feel the need to get up and speak them out?

"Point of order, attached is an amendment containing a list of termonology that frankly does not need to belong in this bill should it pass. Motion to remove this amendment."

That's all you'd need to say. but no, go up, try to score some points with your conservative base by showing how deviant an evil the sex-obsessed liberals are.... and give us a big hearty chuckle. It's like getting the principal to say "Poop", I swear to God it's that funny.

If you think conservatives have moved past 3rd grade humor, you're deluded. This is the same group that still gets disgusted when you say "gay".
