Son of a bitch.
If you can’t read the screenshot taken from Republican asshole J.D. Doporto’s Facebook account above, here it is in all its stunted, hate-filled glory.
Just want to give a heads up to the women! You have rights! A right to cook and a right to clean. Today is Sunday and the NFL playoffs our [sic] on! I suggest you stop your b!tching/protesting during this time. Because you also have a right to get slapped!
With a cute little OK emoji next to it.
“Men” like this make my blood boil. Seriously. My vision gets this red tinge and my ears start to buzz. So, after the local paper covered the story, this Carlsbad city councilman, who apparently had a problem getting an erection after the Women’s March on Sunday (NFL time, dammit women!) deleted his Facebook account and started to whine to his local TV station, KOB.
It was taken out of context. It was a joke by saying you know a woman should be slapped.
Um, yeah. How exactly was this “taken out of context?” Oh, right. Joke. Got it.
Two more posts from Doporto:
I was thumbing my nose at what was taking place. Enough already. Let’s get on. Women have had rights for…years that I have been alive. I don't see no rights they don't have that a man has. When are they going to get on and move on?
It's great we live in America. If i feel like joking around about domestic violence and I feel it's okay to joke around about that, that's my opinion.
His final post before trying to make it all go away by deleting his Facebook account:
Channel 4 KOB is gonna owe me endorsement money! 10 pm nightly news ratings are gonna skyrocket! Stay tuned cook,clean and get slapped:wink: Jokes on you KOB!
Afterwards, he issued a classic “it’s all your fault for being offended, I was just being funny” nopology:
Reading through the responses really opened my eyes to how sensitive the nation is right now. People have strong opinions and are ready to share their thoughts especially on social media. If I offended anyone I am sorry, as an elected official I owe you that. … I am a very vocal person that likes to joke around. That is my character. I simply made a joke that 99 percent of my friends and family were OK with. Someone seen it in public and took offense to it, KOB blew it out of proportion. … I hate that this post brought this negative attention to Carlsbad.
Well, gee, asshole. We got our little PC knickers all in a twist and blew it all out of proportion. We brought some negative publicity to your little corner of paradise, and all because we don’t have a sense of humor. It’s on us because we just don’t want to “move on.”
Fuck that. And fuck you. If 99% of your friends and family are “OK with” your bullshit, then fuck them, too. You need better friends — or they need to cut your misogynistic, brutish ass loose and get a better friend or family member themselves.
Of course, the head of the Carlsbad city council issued the usual “his statement is in no reflective yadda yadda we luv wimmin gee we hope this goes away quickly” statement. And both local parties fell over one another to issue public condemnations of his words. A local activist group got after his ass and started an online petition to send him back under whatever rock he was spawned beneath.
The chickens finally began to come home to roost when his day job fired him. He used to have a job as a network engineer — likely a lucrative one — at HollyFrontier Corporation, but not any longer. Yes, I feel bad for his family, since the asshole that used to be their breadwinner (presumably) is now scrambling for employment alongside the many, many good and decent people jobless because of the policies of assclowns like Doporto, but regardless, his employer did what it needed to do. You cannot condone this shit on any level, for any reason.
So when will the fine, upstanding city of Carlsbad, New Mexico do the right thing and kick his sorry ass to the curb?
This was already diaried today by privateeye. Go show some love.
