Disgusting. Freedom of speech or not, what type of moron would do something like this?

Quote:
An Ohio radio host is facing a storm of protest after advocating corrective rape for a young lesbian. Dominic Dieter, radio personality at Cleveland's WMMS, is in hot water for suggesting to a father he should arrange to have his daughter raped to turn her straight.
Cleveland radio listeners received a horrific shock Friday morning, April 27, when Dominic Dieter of Rover's Morning Glory, a talk show on WMMS 100.7, told a father that his gay daughter should be raped straight.
Responding to a father who happened upon his teenage daughter kissing another girl, Dieter said, “You should get one of your friends to *********r daughter straight.”
Daily Kos: Dominic Dieter not only broke the law, but put WMMS' license in immediate danger

I live in the Cleveland area, and the show that you speak about is Rover's Morning Glory. I tune in periodically but I missed this one. While his comments are in very poor taste, if you want to hit them where it hurts then don't listen. Dieter can be a bit of a jacka**!


For what it's worth, I would hate to see WMMS lose it's license, as they've been a well known radio station in the Cleveland area for a very long time.

Wow! I can't believe someone could even think that 'corrective rape' would actually work, let alone recommend that to the woman's father! What an egotist! 1) Consensual sex is not the same thing as rape, and 2) even the best consensual sex in the world is not going to turn a gay person straight.

Why is this any more offensive than some of the recent actions of NBC?

As I said, Dieter can be a jacka**! Definitely not the brightest crayon in the box.

The reach is that since she is a Lesbian and doesn't like men that in order for her to "screw" her Father's friends she would have to be raped. It's a stretch although what he said is disgusting.

You link articles from the Daily Kos and the Portland Progressive Examiner and then expect the conversation to remain bipartisan? Kinda Pollyanna-ish there Zimbo.

If you think that this guy is really advocating rape then you are not very bright. And I know that's not the case.
