DOUBLE ASSHOLE ALERT: Tom Cotton is not only a mutinous traitor. Turns out he hates women, too.

[Triana]

[misterhighwasted]

1. He has the most chilling look about him. Those eyes, looking for a kill.

[roguevalley]

13. small penis alert. he must truly hate his mother.

[misterhighwasted]

15. +1000 Oh dear. Boink!

I'll never think of him with fear again.
Bwwaaaahhaaa!!

[roguevalley]

40. my work here is finished, misterhighwasted. ;)

[calimary]

42. I can't help but go there myself.

Why else would one be so gung-ho for war, for rattling sabers, for what seems like a pathological need to dominate, by force, and assert one's Alpha-ness? And be so staunchly in favor of the domination and subjugation of women. When there's THAT kind of drive, it makes one suspect there's an underlying attempt to overcompensate for something missing - or deficient in one way or other.

[misterhighwasted]

45. AND he has issies with women. Does he have a girfriend at least?

Has he ever had a girlfriend? Fiance? Wife?
Something is not right here. He's like 37.
Waa?

[PADemD]

59. Wife

Cotton married attorney Anna Peckham in 2014. They are expecting their first child in spring 2015.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Cotton#Personal_life

[dolphinsandtuna]

61. amazing but commonly those sociopath misogynists

are married.

[misterhighwasted]

64. Oh yes you know they are. Thre is much truth to that

I read a short bio on him recently & it never mentioned a wife.
Not a word.

[erronis]

73. Welcome to Stepford.

[Triana]

105. The bio says he was "taught by Elizabeth Warren" (tho evidently he did not learn a lot from her)

"...attended the Claremont Graduate University before moving on to Harvard Law School, where he was taught by Elizabeth Warren."

[smirkymonkey]

72. Yeah, he's definitely trying to compensate for

the lack of something. What a weak, pathetic little man.

[GoneFishin]

58. +1. Good point. May be applicable to a large portion of the Republican base.

Thom Hartman occasional jokes about smallpenisgunclub.com on his radio show.

[TNNurse]

89. You sure he had a mother????

[GoCubsGo]

2. So, in other words...

He's a typical republican.

[Triana]

4. BINGO.

He's this week's GOP Thug Hero.

[appal_jack]

7. With NPR the willing enabler:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026362613



k&r,

-app

[Triana]

41. I was unfortunate enough to have caught the blowjob NPR did on Cotton on Friday

I was PISSED that they would lionize and glorify this asshole as they did. Simultaneously, NPR spent much of the week - EVERY time I turned it on - fanning the flames of the Hillary email "scandal". It's on my clock and car radio - I keep forgetting to find a new damn channel and I refuse to pay for Sirius or whatever.

Cotton - the Republican's latest Favorite Magnificent Turd - will swirl around nicely in the overflowing feces-filled, RW propaganda spewing toilet NPR has become. They're no better than Fox anymore.

[Tsiyu]

52. So glad I never listen to NPR any more

They suck so bad, they need to just go away.

[northoftheborder]

94. I'm disappointed with MSNBC

They had a lot of fast talking, conversation usurping, filibustering Republicans on nearly every show; new ones I had never seen before going on and on about HRC email, etc...

[ReRe]

47. Thanks for that link!!!

I probably would have missed that very defining OP, had you not linked it.

[Divernan]

53. Diane Rehm/NPR ripped Cotton a new one on her Friday news roundup show.

http://thedianerehmshow.org/shows/2015-03-13/friday-news-roundup-domestic

[erronis]

74. I need to get back to listening to Diane from podcast in Vermont

She rarely brooks any nonsense. I have heard her cut off foreign leaders, heads of US Govt departments, all sorts of blowhards. I pray her voice and her stamina keep going.

[Enthusiast]

66. Exactly.

[Freddie]

86. You mean Nice Polite Republicans? n/t

[George II]

18. Damn I miss "Top 10 conservative idiots"! But it would be tough to winnow it down to just 10!

[Moostache]

8. Straight from central casting...

Originally went with (nt) tag,. but then I realized this was my 2,000th DU post and could not spend the milestone on Cotton without further comment.

This guy and Ted Cruz and a few other bomb throwers are truly terrifying. They have never seen a war that would not be OK to use for killing other people's children or looting civilizations outside of 'murica. They all claim to "believe" some hard-core nonsense that is nothing more than convenient cover to hide behind laughing while the sheeple who love them lap is up.

I cannot do justice to the level of contempt and disgust that Cotton's picture brings to my stomach. I really wish the GOP HAD gone on the trip to Israel and ended up lost at sea in a plane crash where magically the flight crew was spared but the first class passenger cabin fell from 35,000 feet and had no survivors. Oh the humanity.

[misterhighwasted]

25. Congrats on giving your 2000th post its own story to continue on..

Yes you see the chilling look that I first did, without knowing anything about him other that a letter he signed.
The more I find out the colder & darker his eyes become.
There seems a side of a sociopath and he has that bottomless need for power & human life is worth nothing if it stands in his way.

I do not know any leader of a Country that carries the mark of evil that Tom Cotton carries within himself.

Be wary of what he does from here on.
And yes with the likes of Cruz at his side they need to be watched. Who they align themselves with.

For you 2000th post, you've brought awareness to some serious stuff to keep an eye on in the future

Congrats & thanks

[maddiemom]

31. I've read that Cotton was encouraged to marry by Republican PTB.

Being a liberal, I could care less about his sexual orientation. More likely finding a partner with his obnoxious persona must have been difficult.

[misterhighwasted]

46. Ann Coulter !!!

A mother figure. Perfect.

[Tanuki]

67. His wife, Anna Peckham, was president of her law school chapter of the RW Federalist Society

and was instrumental in inviting Ken Starr to the campus for a speaking engagement. Birds of a feather, I'd say.
http://pbcommercial.com/news/state/cotton-wed-over-weekend
..."A photograph of Peckham appears in a Yeshiva University publication in fall 2004, pictured with Kenneth Starr, the independent counsel whose investigation into the Monica Lewinsky scandal led to President Clinton’s impeachment.

Peckham, a 2004 graduate of Yeshiva’s Cardozo Law School, was a leader of the student-run Federalist Society that invited Starr to speak there about the U.S. Supreme Court and its influence on American culture and politics, according to the publication

DU needs a " like" button for posts like this one!

[Thinkingabout]

5. Hope the good folks of Arkansas elect someone different next time.

We di not need people like this in Congress.

[BigDemVoter]

80. Unfortunately, the good fools of Arkansas will LOVE this AssHat.

He represents them EXACTLY as the majority of Arkansans elected him to do. Disgusting.

[chervilant]

92. I'm from Arkansas, and I don't support him.

I know quite a number of people here who don't support him, but--as you've said--we are surrounded by a passel of easily-deluded, ultra-religious, Tea Party-supporting, far-right Republicans.

[BigDemVoter]

96. So am I. And I certainly didn't vote for him either.

But neither one of us can honestly say that a vast majority of our dear cohorts in the state did NOT vote for him, as he won resoundingly. Isn't it depressing?

[chervilant]

99. Indeed!

And, I was wrongfully terminated the Tuesday before Thanksgiving because I had the utter temerity to address my boss's racism. And, I couldn't go to the owner of the company, because he's ALSO racist.

It's been an interesting year...

[BigDemVoter]

100. I am so sorry.

I feel bad for our state, and I am sorry you have had these problems. One of my friends had a boss who continually used the "n" word when referring to our President. I just couldn't believe it, as it was soon after my return to AR, and I had forgotten how people could be.

We're in a "right to work" state which equals "right to be fired." I am looking for ways to get out, as I'm at the end of my rope.

[chervilant]

104. I am in Newton County,

near the Buffalo River. I love this ecosystem and all the activities commensurate: hiking, canoeing, gardening, birdwatching, spelunking, and more. I am learning woodcarving and blacksmithing from master craftsmen, and have surrounded myself with the liberal artists I've found here.

Life is good. I'll work at Wallyworld (gasp, shudder!) in order to stay here.

Thank you for your kind words.

[WillyT]

6. Huge K & R !!! - Thank You !!!

Typical RW loser.

[Cha]

9. I believe those kind of people are called "sociopaths".. I'd read the first quote but not all the

others.

Mahalo for your Public Service Announcement, Triana. Wow.

[Jim Beard]

10. Here is a lot about Cottons state voting record

excellent site................

http://www.meettomcotton.com/turning-the-clock-back-on-women/

[olegramps]

76. I can't fathom how he can gain the majority in an election.

[MADem]

11. Jeez, who was the moron doing "oppo" research against this guy? It should have been

easy to dig up some nasty on this clown before he took office.

If he lacks empathy and remorse, as the comments to the picture say, then the best way to describe him most certainly is "psychopath."

[sarge43]

55. Someone should talk to the enlisted in his former units

I get a Neidermeyer/Kilgore vibe -- Patton wannabe, "his guts, our blood".

[MADem]

101. "Charge!! Follow ..... HIM!!!!"

I'll wait here, in the rear, with the gear!!!

I agree with you--think that might be revealing, as well.

[sarge43]

103. Don't think he was a coward. Doesn't seem to have the imagination

I'm betting he was something worse -- a glory and medal hound with contempt for enlisted and the enemy.

[MADem]

106. You don't have to be a coward to have a highly developed sense of self-preservation.

And I've known a few medal hounds in my day. I couldn't see wearing more than the top three except when absolutely necessary--those things wear out the uniforms. As for ring knockers and anyone who tries to play off their commission as an "I'm special" ticket, that's a dumbass thing to do, especially in a combat zone. Fragging isn't about Fraggle Rock, after all...if it says "Front Towards Enemy" it's time to run the other way and re-evaluate one's attitude!

[rhett o rick]

12. I am wondering why any female would vote for him. Help me out. nm

[EvolveOrConvolve]

32. One word

Religion.

[mountain grammy]

38. Bingo!

[Art_from_Ark]

56. I don't think that was it

Pryor was touting his Christianity as much as Cotton was during the campaign.

[tblue37]

14. That is a chilling level of misogyny. He sounds like Elliot Rodgers. nt

[ChiciB1]

16. Big Kick... Sometimes I Feel We Give Them Too Much

attention, and that's what they want. BUT this idiot needs to be lambasted and plastered to a wall! I'm not sure if he's just trying to make a name for himself, or if he's being used by others behind the scene, but no matter... what he's doing is UN-AMERICAN!

I could make many more comments denigrating him, but I think ACTION is needed much more. I'm sure there's nothing I can do except to keep denouncing him, unfortunately too many people aren't paying attention!

I finally read Thom Hartmann's The Crash Of 2016 and think it should be required reading. Yes, it's about big money, but it's so much more. I've been around long enough that I can look back and see when this country started it's downward spiral. YES, we've had upheaval before and did survive a lot, but today there are millions and millions more people and far too many ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION!

I watch Free Speech TV most of the time or alternate shows and am thankful I can afford to pay for it, but it does eat into my small budget. Can't say I'm even middle class, but we're making it where so many others are getting trampled into the ground. And that ground is dry and crumbling and I'm not sure how much longer it will be until it caves in.

I wonder where he hides his whips!! Sorry, just had to add "one" more thing!

[George II]

17. Anyone know where this comes from? I'd LOVE to send it to some "friends", but want to be able...

....to back it up.

Thanks.

21. Looks like the quotes are from various times/places.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]Here's a good place to start:
[font face="Arial"]http://www.goodsearch.com/search-web?utf8=%E2%9C%93&keywords=tom+cotton%2C+quotes+about+women[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]

[sunnystarr]

27. If you notice there are only quotation marks around one statement

Tom Cotton published an Opinion piece in the Harvard Crimson titled "Promises and Covenants". http://www.thecrimson.com/article/1997/10/3/promises-and-covenants-pmen-are-simple/

Men are simple creatures. It doesn't take much to please us. The problem is women.

appears and the rest comes from that article but not in exact quotes.

[George II]

28. Too bad, they woule have been great to send to some nuts I know.

[Triana]

39. A few of the rest are here:

They are not direct quotes but those are DEFINITELY his attitudes.

[George II]

20. Does he not look like Anthony Perkins in "Psycho"?

[SmittynMo]

23. Absolutely.

That was the first thing I thought.

[Brigid]

24. That exactly what I was thinking!

When did Norman Bates run for Congress?

[greatlaurel]

30. Cotton is a sociopath. Anthony Perkins just played one on screen.

[SoapBox]

33. Well he certainly looks psycho.

[GeorgeGist]

37. ?

[calimary]

43. Totally!

YEEEEKS - totally creepy! Another one of those things that he shares with ted cruz. I don't know what about him is uglier - his face, or the ideas and opinions developed behind that face.

[George II]

44. He can't help the face, but he sure as shit could improve on his ideas and opinions!

[PADemD]

60. This is pretty ugly.

Corruption of Blood
In 2013 Cotton introduced legislative language to punish relatives of those convicted of violating U.S. sanctions against Iran. According to Cotton, this would include "a spouse and any relative to the third degree," such as, "parents, children, aunts, uncles, nephews, nieces, grandparents, great grandparents, grandkids, great grandkids," [34] When Cotton's amendment came under harsh criticism, he withdrew it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Cotton#Corruption_of_Blood

[dolphinsandtuna]

62. re relatives

He really is completely insane.

[CrispyQ]

77. This info deserves its own thread.

Seriously.

I'd rather have a zombie in the senate than this sick fuck.

[SmittynMo]

22. Isn't there a test to proclaim if you're a sociopath?

If so, test his ass, and hope that is enough to get him out of power.

Here's a little bit about Mark Pryor, who was running against Cotton in the 2014 election

[Thespian2]

34. Great Post

Thanks for the picture of a truly dangerous person, controlled, of course, by the GREEDY BASTARDS he serves. Too bad we have things like this roaming the Earth.

[TxVietVet]

35. He's a genuine conservanazi puke.

I'm hoping he's going to be the VP choice for the conservanazis. The guy is probably idealized by many teabaggin' kkkluckers also.

This guy is like manna from Heaven for the Dems. I hope they use it well.

[taught_me_patience]

36. A complete sociopath

he needs some serious psychological help.

[ReRe]

48. Well, well, well...

... this male chauvinist comes to the Senate in 2014, just in time for the uptick of the 2016 Gen Election, in which our country seems to be on the precipice of electing our first female President. What a coincidence. NOT! This letter to Iran business is his introduction to the country via the "librul'" M$M. I'm willing to bet that Tom Cotton will lead the Republican charge against Hillary Clinton from the moment she declares herself a candidate. Anyone game?

50. Cotton is not a double asshole.

He's one big gargantuan asshole. He's a scum-sucking sewer rat (with apologies to actual sewer rats everywhere).

[Chemisse]

54. I'm betting that where you see a double asshole,

there is a multitude of assholery to go with it. Racism, for starters.

[Spazito]

95. Racism as well for sure...

Defining Diversity Down

http://www.thecrimson.com/article/1998/3/18/defining-diversity-down-pdean-of-the/

His whole column sneers at diversity and affirmative action. It's quite nauseating.

[Tsiyu]

51. I hate to comment on people's looks

but dood looks very, very inbred. Like Deliverance level. This could explain much about the deluded cretin.

[Vinca]

57. It could also explain his unfavorable opinion of women.

I mean, really. How many bags would you have to put on your head?

[wilt the stilt]

63. who thinks about this at 19

Most boys have one thing on their mind and it is not this. This guy was already showing hatred of women because he couldn't get a date. This guy is close to being a mass murderer.

[CrispyQ]

75. It's a fab graphic, but it's missing his name. -nt

[BigDemVoter]

78. Cotton has no use for women. . . . sexual or otherwise.

He is a very dangerous person, and I can state, without a doubt, that he already has presidential aspirations.

[NewJeffCT]

79. Why is the first sentence in quotes

but, the rest are not?

are they policies he supports or has proposed? Can somebody provide the link to where he actually supports the last 3 sentences in white?

84. Gack. He loves "Promise Keepers" and wants "covenant marriage."

Because, he asked some women their greatest fears, and it was all about losing their men. According to him.

Gack.

http://www.thecrimson.com/article/1997/10/3/promises-and-covenants-pmen-are-simple/

Feminists who allegedly speak for women should attack divorce, not its effects. If men have easy access to divorce, many will choose it thoughtlessly. They may not gain true happiness with their new trophy wives, but they certainly will not slide into the material indigence and emotional misery that awaits most divorced women. If restrained, however, men can fulfill women's deepest hopes. They can learn that personal happiness comes from the desire to devote and sacrifice oneself to one's beloved.

A few men can see this by themselves, and women are quite lucky to hook them. Ordinary women must not only defend these men against feminism, but also demand that all other men accept the lifelong nature of marriage. If not, one-half of all women who marry see their "greatest fear" come true. If so, they can have their "deepest hopes" fulfilled.
