Need a couple of answers - Wasilla rape kits & Harvard Law Review

Was hitting McCain & Palin on a couple of issues on another blog and somebody answered my charge that while Obama was fighting to protect our children from sexual predators, Sarah Palin was having rape victims pay for their own rape testing kits.

The freeper's response was that Wasilla billed the insurance companies directly for the rape kits, so it was not an issue.

Also, when I mentioned Palin's questionable academic background and said Obama was a Harvard graduate and first African-American to head the Harvard Law Review, the response was that it was only a glorified high school newspaper.

Anyone who thinks that the Harvard Law Review is a glorified high school newspaper is beyond uninformed. That's willful ignorance.

Re: insurance. What about rape victims who didn't have insurance?

Every cost to an insurance company, eventually gets added in some way or other. We're paying incredible insurance prices these days, because too many people think like the freepers.

.... "glorified high school newspaper"? That person is beyond saving.

Come on now, be honest, this was Rush you were talking to wasn't it? ;)

and, I just want to have the facts correct in case somebody looks at it later.

Ummm. It published serious articles by judges, professors of law, etc. Your friend is full of shit.

And the Nobel prize competition is really just a glorified game show.

As for the rape kits... yeah, everyone has insurance! And in unlimited amounts! So this won't cost them anything at all if you make them pay for it! The guy is an idiot, Wasilla was the only city in the state that pulled this stunt, every other state covered the costs like sane human beings.
