CBS Reporter Lara Logan Beaten & Sexually Assaulted In Egypt
Protest War correspondent, Lara Logan of CBS *news*, was beaten and sexually assaulted “by a mob while covering the jubilation in Cairo’s Tahrir Square on the day Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak stepped down, the U.S. broadcaster said Tuesday.”
CBS News said in a statement Logan was covering the celebrations for CBS’s “60 Minutes” program on Feb. 11 when she and her team were surrounded by “a mob of more than 200 people whipped into a frenzy.”
“In the crush of the mob, she was separated from her crew. She was surrounded and suffered a brutal and sustained sexual assault and beating before being saved by a group of women and an estimated 20 Egyptian soldiers,” CBS said.
Good job of CBS sending a woman to the same place where other female reporters – like Anderson Cooper – have been physically assaulted by unruly mobs before.
It’s hard to imagine that the “mob of more than 200 people whipped into a frenzy,” the same ones who were celebrating the ouster of a murderous dictator, the same ones who were celebrating a new beginning, the same ones who were celebrating the chance for liberty and democracy, suddenly decided it was time for the raping to begin. I suppose in the midst of all that celebrating, they forgot to celebrate a women’s right not to be sexually assaulted and beaten to a bloody pulp.
It’s not as if there weren’t any other women around, either. According to the release by CBS, a group of women came to Lara Logan’s rescue. I wonder why those few women weren’t raped by the “mob of more than 200 people whipped into a frenzy?” Do Moslem frenzied mobs not want to rape Islamic women? What’s the matter with this frenzied mob, anyways? Is this “mob of more than 200 people whipped into a frenzy” prejudice against other religions and races?
Democracy. Liberty. Freedom.
That’s what our msm is telling us the “mob of more than 200 people whipped into a frenzy” actually want.

[...] In other words, in terms of social tranquility, the best case scenario is somewhere between Ulster in the Seventies and Bosnia in the Nineties — and the worse ones are something closer to Tahrir Square filled with the “freedom-loving” “democrats” who sexually assaulted a CBS reporter while… [...]

Hm, had I been in that crowd in Cairo,and met up with a reporter dressed like that, I might be tempted to cop a feel myself!
I’d promise God that I’d do a lot of “Hail Mary’s” to make up for it!
Anderson Cooper was mistaken for a small boy by the Egyptians,and in their culture,it’s quite alright to molest a male youngster.
He apparently paid CNN to go back into the madding crowd again!

“Hail Mary?”
You never told us you played footbaw?

Hey,in my younger days,I threw more passes than Doug Flutie!
Got my face slapped a damned sight more than he did,too!

“Democracy. Liberty. Freedom.”
Oh,I forgot to comment on that.
Democracy and Liberty give one the Freedom to…….cop a feel of a hot infidel Reporter on occasion.
THAT is certainly worth rioting for!

What a bunch of dopes at CBS, they shoulda sent in Helen Thomas to report on and handle the rampaging raping Egyptians.

Good thing none of them fellers be here. Where are all their pony camels.

cudgel, you’re a cruel man.

Oh, great. Now I have Helen Thomas and rape in my head.
But, funny, I did not see any female news folks in Detroit in 2004 when the Pistons won the NBA Championship. Maybe it is because those thugs are not in the Religion of Peace?

Mayor, there is not one damn thing funny about this.
But, I gotta admit “other female reporters – like Anderson Cooper –” made me snort.
And…Yeah, what Paul said!

No,Andy,it isn’t one bit funny,but we have to work with what we’re given.
Reporters, ever since the first Gulf War,have vied for the position of “Next Scud Stud”,and both sexes in that profession are guilty of wanting the fame attached to being the ultimate “guy on the ground”.
Think about it for a second,Andy, would YOU,if you were boss of CBC News,have EVER allowed a pretty blonde white female Reporter to go into that mass of hornets,especially in a Muslim Country?
Not f***ing likely.(I already knew the answer
)
When the final story comes out,we’ll possibly find out if she was actually raped,or just groped and battered. Either way, it shouldn’t have happened, but SHE put herself in that position to gain more MSM notoriety and possibly vault into one of the coveted News Anchor jobs with a million dollar plus salary attached to it.
I had female friends who travelled to the Middle East back in the 1960’s,and they all said that they quickly learned that a woman got no respect at all. One girl said the worst Country was Turkey,where men would walk up to her on the street and grab her genitals right in front of dozens of people on the street.
Once her male companion stepped up and yelled at one of the perpetrators,and they were immediately surrounded by about a dozen hostile looking Turkish men.
They ran. After that episode,whenever she went out in public,she made damned sure she was dressed as modestly as possible.
