Obama splits with Supreme Court on rape executions

CHICAGO, Illinois (CNN) — Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama says he disagrees with a Supreme Court decision striking down the death penalty for child rapists, telling reporters Wednesday that states should be able to execute people for "heinous" crimes.

"I think that the rape of small child, 6 or 8 years old, is a heinous crime," the Illinois senator said. "And if a state makes a decision that under narrow, limited, well-defined circumstances the death penalty is at least potentially applicable, that does not violate our Constitution."

The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that capital punishment can be applied only to murderers, striking down a death sentence for a Louisiana man convicted of sexually assaulting his 8-year-old stepdaughter.

The convict, Patrick Kennedy, would have been the first rapist in 44 years to be executed for a crime in which the victim was not killed.

Obama previously has said he believes the death penalty should be available to states, but that it must be applied fairly.

I love how bloodthirsty Americans piss and moan when they can't execute someone. This time, it's a child rapist. I would just like to point out a few things here.

First of all, the "Messiah" is only running for President. The "Messiah" is not the President. Second of all, even if he were the President he's not a JUDGE. A President signs bills into law. A President does NOT make the laws. A President does NOT interpret the laws. A President does NOT decide the constitutionality of the laws. Unless the "Messiah" plans to ignore the Supreme Court ruling and start executing people left and right if he becomes President, he needs to shut the hell up.

Psst...that's against the law by the way!!

To those who are bitching about not allowing executions for child rape, I would ask them several questions. Do they believe that pedophile priests and nuns should be executed as well? If not, why should they be spared? What would they do if they or someone they knew were wrongfully accused of raping a child, and got sentenced to death? If they believe that people should be executed for child rape, why not allow executions for rape PERIOD?

That's the thing that really gets me. People want to execute child rapists. Why wouldn't they push for the execution of rapists, regardless of the age of the victim? A rape victim is a rape victim. It doesn't matter how old the victim is. Rape is heinous. The victim will be traumatized forever. So, why make the distinction? If you're going to argue that child rapists are deserving of death, shouldn't rapists of adults be just as deserving?

Here's some comments on the CNN site for this story. They're ridiculous!!

Wow!!! Now I would not have thought he felt this way, I didn't see him as that kind. I personally endorse the death penalty, but I honestly didn't see Obama agreeing with me on this topic. It's not a primary issue at stake in this election, but it is a fundamental statement to me in where he stands. No nonsense straight talk. Want an answer, here it is: He endorses the Death Penalty. I like him more and more every day.

Yeah, there's a reason to vote for someone. He endorses the Death Penalty. KILL!! KILL!! KILL!! That's the American Way!!

How can you not equate someone who murders to someone who rapes a little girl/boy. It's sick, and the States have a right to apply the death penalty for sick bastards!

Finally, a way to deter sick minded people from doing this disgusting act!

It's simple!! They are two different CRIMES.

Child abuse is nothing less than an act of 'soul murder.' It strips the child of their innocent spirit forever.

So now we're going to start executing people for "soul murder"? Come on!! Where do these people get this shit from? I can see it now.

"Well your Honor, the defendant didn't actually murder anyone. He just murdered their soul. For that, he must be executed!!"

Mr. Obama thinks for real people and stands up for real problems.
Only the parents of a 8 year old would understand how henious this crime is…. I would say worse than a MURDER. Execute Them.

What happened to you conservatives now… looks like you have become the SOFTIES… you were always SOFTIES going after little things and leaving real problems aside.

Oh I see. You have to be a parent to understand that child rape is heinous. No sweetheart, you don't!! Rape is heinous!! I don't need to have a child to understand that. I'm not a fucking moron!!

Aren't Americans great?
