Radio Personality Tells Father To Get A Man To Rape His Daughter Until She Turns Straight
Source: Addicting Info
A radio personality in Cleveland is facing tremendous backlash after telling a father that he should get one of his male friends to rape his daughter to force her to turn straight.
In response to an email from a father who suspected his daughter was gay after discovering her kissing another girl, DJ Dominic Deiter declared on the air that You should get one of your friends to screw your daughter straight.
You read that correctly. An apparently anti-gay radio personality told a father that he should arrange for his daughter to be raped repeatedly until she magically turns straight.
After the disgusting remark, GLAAD received multiple reports about the incident, which was said during Rovers Morning Glory radio program that airs on WWMS 100.7 FM radio station on Clear Channel Communications, which includes radio shows hosted by Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and several other right-wing radio shows. Clear Channel is also owned primarily by Bain Capital, the company that Mitt Romney began and is still involved with.

I see no benefit for or to anyone in a call to what I believe to be vigilante justice therefore I question the wisdom of the posting in this sub thread.
I also question if there was any father that sent in such an email to create this "event" or was it simply something written by the DJ (or his staff) that has generated some rather unintended results. He is in the entertainment business to a specific audience, do not for one minute believe that some of that "entertainment" is not perhaps fictitious.

In late 2010 there were a lot of articles discussing "corrective rape."
"Rehyansky advocates what is known as corrective rape. This method of dealing with lesbians, has been prominent in South Africa. The phrase was first penned by human rights non-governmental organisations and gained widespread noteriety with the story of Eudy Simelane, a member of the South African womens soccer team and an out Lesbian and advocate for GBLT rights. She was raped and murdered in 2008. ActionAid stated that this was ahate crime, and her murder was directly related to her sexual orientation."

(23,148 posts)into his mouth doesn't help anything. What he said was bad enough without resorting to changing his quote.
I realize the implication is there. If that's the point this writer wanted to make, it could have been made in a much more convincing way. Perhaps in the form of a question... for example:
In response to an email from a father who suspected his daughter was gay after discovering her kissing another girl, DJ Dominic Deiter declared on the air that You should get one of your friends to screw your daughter straight.
So, what exactly does that mean? If she is gay, she presumably she won't have any interest in having sex with her father's male friend... so does that mean he has to rape her straight? It's hard to imagine that this personality could have meant anything else.
Galraedia
(5,026 posts)Screw her straight is an angry aggressive statement. If the woman is gay, she wouldn't voluntarily have sex with a man. Corrective rape isn't anything to be funny about.

Lesbians, by definition, do not have sex with men.
Getting a male friend to screw the man's daughter "straight" takes how many turns? Two? Three? Eight? Fifty? He would be forcing her against her will to do something she already refuses to do.
Rape is forceable sexual, penetrable intercourse against the will of the victim, male or female (at least I think it still means that--the anti-woman congress has been messing with definitions lately).
Therefore, he is advocating that the man get his boy to rape his child.

radio--from Hannity, Limbaugh and Levine to local hosts like this. They
are all very, very sick.
Every once in a while we get an authentic glimpse into just how vile they all are. Again,
they are all psychopaths. They do not have empathy toward people. What's the big
deal if a daughter is raped? So what. Have you ever seen the list of Republican politicians
who have been convicted of child molestation and rape? It's horrendously long. This
is no coincidence.
I think child rape and molestation is rampant with these fringe freaks. They crave power
and control and they lack morals, any sort of conscience and they lack the ability to
feel real human emotions.
This was a Freudian slip. I imagine they all discuss their crimes and are very proud of them--and
I'm sure many of them molest children. Probably each other's children.

(136 posts)in fact i loathe all those who can't look past sexual differences, but did he ever actually say "have your friends rape your daughter," in those exact words? If not, it reminds me of the stupid comments people make about how someone was so bad in bed, they turned their girlfriend or boyfriend gay. I've actually heard "fuck um straight" idea since I realized the difference between gay and straight. People say really ignorant things.
Conservatives are freaking psychopaths, but aren't they still supposed to be protected under the first amendment? I mean compare these comments to things Keith Olbermann would say about conservatives. I'm pretty sure they were beyond offended when he would talk down about them the way he did. But please don't think I don't understand the difference between calling bible thumps Republicans retards and being homophobic. This ass is probably one of the supports of the notion that gay sex leads to bestiality, I'd smack him across the head if I got a chance. It just seems like on both sides of the political spectrum there is a double-standard when it comes to free speech. You can say what you want, as long as you are sensitive to my feelings.
All that made me think of this was the fact that the title was so misleading. Just food for thought, please don't completely try to tear me a new one.

(23,973 posts)Billy Bass, Denny Sanders, Len "Boom Boom" Goldberg, John Gorman, Kid Leo, Matt the Cat, Betty Kovan, Jeff and Flash...these people set the trends that other stations in the country followed.
People of a 'certain age' who live in NE OH know just how great a radio station MMS was at one time.
There was nothing like it on the air.
Now, it's unlistenable.
And Dieter is a muscle-bound moron that say moronic things. He's like the paid idiot on that show's staff.
The show is dreck.

(1,524 posts)What this radio personality said is no different than the practice of corrective rape in South Africa. The sad truth is that there are some cases of corrective rape in the US against sexual minorities in america.

(719 posts)....but it doesn't to pay to misunderestimate them.
I'm one of those violent types who would advocate personal 'corrective' violence against this pig, if events related here are accurate. So I suppose I don't really have anything to contribute to this thread...except to remind some of the kinder, gentler people that pain is a survival mechanism which warns us of danger.

(12,022 posts)GLAAD reached out to station management asking for Dieter to be suspended for his remarks. Today we received word that disciplinary action has been taken (though management could not be specific as to what) and that a pre-recorded apology aired from Dieter this morning. According to a transcript sent by WMMS, Dieter told listeners:
"I just wanted to say that, I know on the show this past Friday I made some comments that people found
.. considered to be offensive. And I just wanted to say, I understand why people are angry. I want to genuinely apologize to anyone who may have been offended by what I said. I regret what I did say. My comments were inappropriate. They were inexcusable, and just downright stupid. And I want to make it clear; there was absolutely no intention to promote physical or sexual violence. And Im truly; truly sorry by my poor choice of words that led people to believe otherwise. Again, Rover
I just want to apologize for any pain I might have caused. (...) I ask people to find it in their hearts to forgive me. I am sorry for the words that I did say. "
I n addition, WMMS has pledged to run public service announcements about the dangers of parental rejection, and the importance of giving LGBT young people a safe learning environment. Even if no parent would go to the vile extremes suggested by Dieter, the message he telegraphed to the audience was that this parent should not accept that his daughter might be gay or bi.

(50,254 posts)He STILL didn't say "I meant it and I was wrong to mean it". It wasn't a slip of the tongue. It wasn't a poor choice of words. It was an intentional call for a violent assault on an underage female.
Why would he even bother with any "weasel words"at this stage?
