Just because some rape allegations are bogus doesn't mean these should be automatically considered as such. What has me torqued isn't that Assange may be innocent. Nothing would be more pleasant to hear than there were 2 less rapes in this already twisted world. What torques me is how fast 2 potential rapes are dismissed over political convenience. It makes the complaints against Akin ring hollow and opportunistic while it conveys the message that women consort with progressive celebrities at their own risk.
If Assange is not guilty -- awesome. Let thim get back to work. But women should not be told to lay back and relax because progressive men are at work and they have needs. Let the facts come out in a public court under the rule of law or quit pretending transparency and law are what Assange supposedly champions.
