The Dreaded Wyoming GOP Facebook ‘Hatef–k’ Rapist Has Been Apprehended

Posted on Comments

The university campus in Laramie was gripped by fear last week:

“I want to hatef–k Meg Lanker Simons so hard. That chick that runs her liberal mouth all the time and doesn’t care who knows it. I think its hot and it makes me angry. One night with me and shes gonna be a good Republican b–ch.”

The victim of this Facebook threat cited it as “an example of rape culture,” and who could doubt she was an object of twisted GOP lust?

All over campus, plus-sized Women’s Studies majors hid themselves behind dead-bolted doors, while University of Wyoming officials launched an investigation to find the hateful misogynist responsible for this crime. Fortunately, investigators didn’t have to look far:

A student at the University of Wyoming who claimed she was targeted for a Facebook rape threat because she “runs her liberal mouth all the time” faked the threat against herself, police say. Meg Lanker-Simons, 26, has been charged with interference with a police investigation by giving false statement. . . .
UW police . . . interviewed Lanker-Simons and searched her computer, and ”obtained substantial evidence verifying that the offending Facebook post came from Lanker-Simons’ computer.” Lanker-Simons “admitted to making a controversial post on UW Crushes webpage and then lied about not doing it,” according to the citation for a misdemeanor, which can be punished by up to a year in jail.

She threatened to “hatef–k” herself and “lied about not doing it”? Well, who can blame her? Obviously, anybody would be embarrassed to admit they wanted to “hatef–k” themselves, because our oppressive patriarchal society is so judgmental about auto-hate-eroticism:

“I wonder what would cause someone to be so filled with fury and lunacy, that such an odious method of drawing attention to oneself seems acceptable?”

We’re all mystified, Ace: Rush Limbaugh, Dan Riehl, Jim Hoft — even Professor Reynolds is unable to understand why Ms. Lanker-Simons would “be so filled with fury and lunacy.” Perhaps more mysterious is why some of her allies are silent about this suffering victim:

Lanker-Simons’s “Cognitive Dissonance” site was recognized for an award last year by the Center for American Progress’s Think Progress site.

And what is their reaction to the victimization of this liberal blogger whose award-winning excellence they recognized?

This silence is so . . . mysterious.

UPDATE: A portrait in liberal intellectual integrity:

To members of the press, et al. contacting me through this site
In regards to recent allegations, I’ve retained counsel and entered a plea of not guilty.
Any further questions can be directed to my attorney of record, Charles Pelkey of Laramie.
Thank you,
Meg

Ah, yes — the presumption of innocence! Quite interesting, coming from someone who organized a protest based on the presumed guilt of the imaginary online misogynists who threatened her. And the protest sign — “Rape Threats Are Not a Joke” — needs to be updated: “Fake Rape Threats Are Not a Real Joke,” or something.

But we should be grateful that Ms. Lanker-Simons has finally decided to exercise her constitutional right to be silent.

UPDATE II: Welcome, Instapundit readers! I was just perusing the reports of Monday’s protest at University of Wyoming before police exposed Ms. Lanker-Simons’s fraud:

The caption on Elizabeth Holder’s photo for the student newspaper:

UW students and Laramie community members take part of a protest against the UW Crushes website’s post on Monday afternoon in Simpson’s Plaza to raise awareness of the “rape culture” issue.

Let’s ask a simple question: What is “the ‘rape culture’ issue,” and why was it necessary to “raise awareness” about it? I mean, other than the fake threat Meg Lanker-Simons made against herself, allegedly.

Rape is a crime, punishable as a felony in Wyoming and in every other state of the Union. We know what rape is, but what is “rape culture”?

Furthermore, who is this Meg Lanker-Simons and why was she invested with so much credibility among “UW students and Laramie community members” that five days after she claimed someone said something rude about her on Facebook, people show up on campus for a protest rally on her behalf?

“It doesn’t just affect me. It affects everyone on campus,” Lanker-Simons said. “There are people who are scared because of this.”

This remark is rather ironic in the wake of subsequent events, but the question remains: Why should this one perpetually aggrieved misfit be able to garner so much publicity and support?

UPDATE III: Bill Quick adds his own observations:

Personally, after seeing the widescreen HD version of this lovely flower, I think her phony post was real wish-projection. She probably figured that hate-rapists didn’t give a rat’s ass who — or what — they screwed.
Which would at least give her a running chance at a sexual relationship.

Perhaps true, but unfortunate. I mean, as one of the commenters below remarks, the entire message of Ms. Lanker-Simons’s behavior can be summarized in five words: “Please pay attention to me!” Yet her desperate bid to become a famous victim has only exposed her to worldwide ridicule, while quite likely destroying whatever credibility she had as a “student activist” in Wyoming.

So now, instead of being a politically relevant lonely fat girl, she’s just a lonely fat girl, who will be ostracized as an embarrassment to her political allies. Maybe she should ask Neal Rauhauser, leader of the “Weiner Truthers,” how to convince the world she was framed.

  3. If there are not enough real world examples of racist, homophobic, etc, etc, to sustain our point of view in all this, then we’ll just have to salt the mine a little. Happens all over.

    QED. File under Crystal Mangum.

  7. 1. Who on this earth would want to f**k her?

    2. Anybody remember the liberal outrage over comments about hate f**king Michelle Malkin? Bueller? Bueller?

  11. 1st rule of liberalism….if they are talking they are LYING.

    It takes lying to others and yourself on a constant basis to prop up the stupidity which is the liberal belief system.

  12. One thing about this story that really annoys me is the way it is universally being portrayed as a “rape threat.” Even if this were a real comment by a real conservative, it doesn’t sound like a real threat. If a liberal commenter were to say “I’d like to punch Rush in the face,” would anyone really think the person actually intended to do that? The next time someone says “I wish I could snap my fingers and make you disappear” should I accuse them of threatening to use magic to kill me?

  13. Call me cynical, but my guess is that she will beat the rap. Leftists rarely if ever pay a price for their crimes. Anti-gun nut David Gregory breaks DC’s draconian gun laws – on national TV! – and gets away with it. William Jefferson Clinton sexually assaulted over a dozen women, yet he is arguably the most popular politician today, and could easily win election as President in 2016. Columnist Donald Kaul calls for the torture and murder of Mitch McConnell and John Boehner – and not only stays out of jail, but is still employed at the newspaper that published the threats. The list of Obama administration officials who cheated on their taxes is lengthy (to say the least). These are just a tiny handful of examples.

    In America justice increasingly depends on political connections rather than evidence. Don’t be surprised if Lanker Simons benefits accordingly.

  14. They are actually charging her-??? I’ll believe it when I see it. Over the years, I’ve read about black women professors, Latina lesbians, interracial couples, lots of PC-approved victims doing fake hate crimes to themselves. The initial reports get page one treatments, as do the inevitable candlelight vigils and marches, but when the truth comes out, those reports get a quiet little paragraph towards the back, and charges never seem to go anywhere.

    Even though the fake crime put a target on the backs of all random whites(especially men) and /or heterosexuals in the vicinity.

    But hey, if it’s to “raise awareness for ______”, then it was all for a good cause, right?

    One giveaway of a fake hate crime : Whenever the victim claims the “white men” s/he is blaming for his/her ordeal says s/he had words carved onto her body…Only, they’re always in spots s/he could easily reach (eg forearm) and they’re in Magic Marker, not carved in with a sharp object -ie, no permanent damage. Bonus points for writing the slurs backwards, proving they were done with a mirror (eg abdominal carving). The “slurs written on body” ploy is almost always a fake-I say almost only because there probably HAS been a real attack where this happened, but I’ve never run across one.

    (The only [partial],exception to this is the girl who disfigured herself with acid and tried to blame a random black woman…But her motive was to get people to donate money for facial surgery more than to create hate against black people. Not that that made black women of the right age in the vicinity of the “attack” any less vulnerable. )

  16. “All over campus, plus-sized Women’s Studies majors hid themselves behind dead-bolted doors,”

    Does this mean the maintenance staff will have to start mowing again?

  18. So I guess that means Laramie can call off the statewide manhunt for a depraved and nearsighted chubby chaser, then?

    Dan Collins has never been to Laramie. His alibi is air-tight.

  19. Will the dopes with the signs will ever figure out why the left calls them useful idiots? Of course, I’m pretty sure the guy in the blue shirt and sunglasses is just there to score.

  20. There are a hundred Womyn’s Studies major for every faculty position; one needs to stand out.
    Anyway, it’s true-true even if it’s not rape-rape.

  25. Just curious: Where was her outrage at rape culture when Playboy ran an editorial about “hate f###ing” Sarah Palin?

  27. The Left are FAILING to dredge up very much hate racism sexism islamophobia or any other crap like that

  30. Not only will she be exempted from justice, she will be “celebrated”… Should be just about the time the “celebration” has died down from the NBA-Is-Gay “celebration”….

  35. Don’t assume she has been ruined by this. She’ll be a professor of Gender Studies somewhere in ten years or so. Her claim to fame will be the terrible “ordeal” her protest against the “rape culture” brought on her.

  37. I was going to post this to Reddit, but then you had come out with the weight insults. This actions of this lefty are bad enough without resorting to the petty personal insults you did at the end. I am disappointed in you.

  38. Ewwww…..she is a definite “two bagger”….if I was hitting that,I would want my rubber to wear a rubber

  41. She not a Liberal, she is a Progressive, big difference. Lots of Progressives call themselves Liberal but true Liberals are tolerant of others views where as Progressives are not. Progressive lies have become so pervasive, you simply can not believe a word that comes out of their mouths, because as we have been endlessly told, ‘the ends justify the means’.

  44. You’re accusing me of fostering size-ism?

    As though everything in this post was just fine with you until I called her a “lonely fat girl”? This is such a “petty personal insult” that now you can’t share the post with those sensitive souls at Reddit?

    Concern troll much?

  46. If I were to fuck her it would have to be a hate fucking of the highest order. I would really have to hate myself before I could drink that much Pappy Van Winkle.

  50. There was some, even Salon had to have a “Come to Jesus” moment with Playboy and David Letterman around that time. Even Gawker had to distance themselves from him, and they seem the type prepped to hand Kermit Gosnell an award for bravery.

    The dead giveaway in all of this is that I’ve never heard a conservative use the phrase “hate-f**k.” It’s always been the misogynists on the left who can’t stand the face that women don’t agree with them.
