Page "Robert Stacy McCain" Paragraph 16

Mediaite's Tommy Christopher once took McCain to task for appearing to excuse date rape when, in a blog post, McCain wrote about promiscuity among women: " Listen up, sweetheart: You buy the ticket, you take the ride.

" After indignation broke out among both liberal and conservative defenders of women, Christopher confronted McCain on-camera at the CPAC conference in March 2011, seeking clarity.

McCain conceded the point, explained why he had been skeptical of a widely publicized date-rape accusation ( against Julian Assange ) and repeated after Christopher: " No means no ; stop means stop.

" Writing about this encounter, Christopher remarked that " McCain still holds many opinions that I find objectionable, but I also think that video places the ' character ' that is RS McCain into a context that simply reading him does not.
