[from: Something About Mary] Stitches again shows her lack of comprehension skills. Stitches forgets we have a little something called PREDATOR PANIC. Stitches denies we are hypersensitive about sex offenders and denies the impact of societal fears.http://online.wsj.com/public/article/SB118782905698506010.html -- We've taught men to be fearful of the sexual predator label.
Or how about THIS article?
http://www.csicop.org/si/show/predator_panic_a_closer_look/ -- Predator Panic: A Closer Look by Benjamin Radford. Of course, since Radford made an appearance of Americans Reality Check, AZU decided to do an article on him, complete with ad hominem attacks and more cognitive distortions than you could shake a stick out.
Stitches is so blind she can't admit the possibility that a person could abuse their position. Surely those in power are NEVER corrupt and NEVER lie to those under their care?
http://www.abcactionnews.com/news/local/story/Polk-Mental-Health-Counselor-arrested-for/VXOEMFUTak2li6MYPyxbXg.cspx?rss=794 -- Sex Offender Counselor Extorts sex offender under his care.
Ever heard of a search engine, Stitches? http://current.com/items/89319040_law-enforcement-this-weeks-corrupt-cops-stories.htm
Oh yeah. POs are NEVER corrupt. Whatever. http://www.citizensforaconstitutionalrepublic.com/US_Observer-Munchow10-12-09.html
Then there's comment about "bathing a child." Well, we've had innocent people arrested for "child porn" for taking innocent pictures of their kids in the bathtub. http://archive.salon.com/mwt/feature/2000/01/31/kincaid/index.html
Oh, and now Stitches denies that people teach bathing a child is grooming for sex. Sure a "child victim advocate" as "educated" as Stitches can't possibly be wrong on this one? http://www.protectchildren.ca/pdfs/itsyourbusiness_en.pdf
Stitches makes four key distortions in her tirade. Perhaps her desire to attack Mary made her sloppy. Stitches misquotes a study, as usual, clipping what she thinks backs her up. And of course, since she sees all sex offenders (except Static and TSand) as subhuman, she forgets that she's talking not about a registered sex offender, but someone NOT on a registry.
It's all a simple formula. Target makes statement, Stitches hates target, if Stitches hates Target, then Target must be a liar, which means Target's statement is untrue.
Stitches forgets one important part of her argument. In addition to trying too hard (and failing miserably) to try to prove her wrong, she forgets to do her research. Funny thing is, she accuses Mary of being such a "bad" influence and a red flag, while studies show a primary trigger for relapse is stress caused by-- what else? -- vigilantes like Stitches harassing, threatening, and attacking registrants.
http://ccoso.org/Vilification.pdf "stigmatization of sex offenders is likely to result in disruption of their relationships, loss of or difficulties finding jobs, difficulties finding housing, and decreased
psychological well‐being, all factors that could increase their risk of recidivism."
Of course, Stitches retort will be.... take a wild guess.... ATTACKING THE AUTHOR OF THE ARTICLE! Again, Stitches hates statement, Target makes statement, Stitches hates target, if Stitches hates Target, then Target must be a liar, which means Target's statement is untrue.
Then of course, Stitches makes THIS comment, posing as "JTC" for "Julia Tuttle Causeway." The stupidity of the above comment speaks volumes. By this time, Stitches has fully exhausted her pseudo-intellectualism and has reverted back to her infantilism. This side of Stitches is her true side. It comes so naturally, whereas her fake smarts just doesn't cut it. Do us a favor Stitches and hang up your dunce cap, you're not fooling anyone!
