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.

  2. You have it backwards. This is Star Trek screw – to go where no man has gone before. No rubber needed, just a Bill Clinton maneuver – pull out and spill the seeds in the sink.

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

    Oh, my. That made my day.

    Go, Stacy!

  4. “There once was a girl named Lanker,
    whose ass was as big as a tanker.”
    She tried to get laid,
    but the boys were afraid.
    So her teacher said, “Just be a wanker.”

  6. Almost every campus in Amerika now has a brigade of Think Progress thugs such as Meg Lanker screaming and agitating.
    Then again, Washington is also run by these same criminals.

  11. A lot of the comments here have been attacking her for what she looks like.

    Cheap shots like that make us look bad, not her.

    Looking at her picture, it is pretty obvious to me that she is one of these girls who self-sabotages her appearance.

    She feels ugly on the inside, so she makes herself look ugly on the outside.

    Were she to hit the gym a few times a week, do something with her hair, drop the goth clothes, and maybe wear contacts, she’d be much more attractive.

    She’d still be an evil communist, but a cuter one.

  12. I’m wondering why this rotund, unpreposessing, perpetual college student has two last names?

    Did she invent herself an ex husband?

  13. She has a husband for realsies. He’s pictured next to her over on JWF, and he looks exactly like you’re imagining.

  14. There once was a girl named Meg Lanker
    full of Marxism, Twinkies and rancor
    she faked a rape threat
    made folks very upset
    but she’s leftist, so nobody’ll spank her

  15. I notice that any woman who is higher than a 6 or so in looks never seems interested in pretending that there is some ‘rape epidemic’. The attractive women are presumably at greater risk than uggos.

    The ugly women who talk about rape all the time are unlikely to get raped ever. At all. It is just a way of getting attention – by pretending that they would be at risk at all, when they are not.

  16. Were she to hit the gym a few times a week, do something with her hair, drop the goth clothes, and maybe wear contacts, she’d…

    look like Boy George.

    Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma chameleon…

  20. Actually I think they are jealous of the women who do get attention from men. It isn’t that they fear rape, but that they hate the men who don’t pay attention to them.

    Rapists are rare. The overwhelming majority of men in America are anti-rapists. Not only would we never force ourselves upon a woman or take advantage of one, we would take direct action to protect any woman who was being attacked or exploited, even at great risk to our own safety.

    We are also not interested in pursuing a sexual relationship with an unattractive female.

    Girls like Meg, whom we systematically ignore and exclude, hate us for that exclusion. But they can’t complain about that because it makes them look pathetic and weak. So instead they cast us as would-be rapists and make up nonsense about there being a “rape culture.”

  21. It’s okay to wanna HF Palin or Ann Coulter, because, according to feminists, they are not real women. Michelle Malkin could show Meggy what real hate mail looks like.

  23. Why does she have two last names? Well, she obviously has trouble making decisions :^)

    While we’re at it …. as soon as you read the word “hatef***” you know this is a projection fantasy, because only hipsters and progressives ever use that term.

  24. “Let me get this straight…” probably not the best phrase to use when talking about rape.

    If there was a “rape culture” why did Meg have had to threaten herself.

  27. They call her a “student activist” because “trouble-making tub-o-lard” would be unkind.

  28. Cops only suspected her after they interviewed 3 dozen farm animals as initial suspects and couldn’t find anyone of interest, or interested in Meg Lanker.

  29. Good point. Ms Lanker-Simons is understandably distraught at the loss of Judd for a role model, as are tens of thousands of puffy women everywhere.

  30. Because its what they are taught to believe, they cannot conceive of any alternatives. Dan Rather’s fake documents about GWB were proven false but then labelled “fake but accurate” by those who “just knew” that they were true anyway.

    There will be no justice until authorities make an example of this wanna-be victim and present her a bill for every last penny they spent investigating her claims. Other investigations, involving REAL victims, had to wait.

  35. Good thing the cops found the Wyoming Rapist, and the sudden discovery that the NBA is gay. That should keep America’s attention from the Benghazi survivors getting smoked like brisket by the Obama administration, and Penny Pritzker’s taking over Commerce, and the gaping holes in the Immigration legislation (see also Rubio’s Waterloo).

    Lanker-Simons is a friend of Ayers, and therefore a friend of Obama. I expect to see Lanker-Simon’s harrowing ordeal to be used to justify some Presidential orders.
    Just proves Evil is everywhere.

  44. Apprehended? I just talked to her an hour ago. You’ve missed a lot of facts in your reporting, and a lot of it is extremely speculative and most of it is libel.

    Not sure what the goal of this is.

  45. Apprehended? She got a citation. She has a date in court, and there’s a lot of necessary evidence that UWPD hasn’t talked about yet beyond saying “substantial evidence.”

  47. “it is pretty obvious to me that she is one of these girls who self-sabotages her appearance.”

    Who gives a shit? Her appearance is not in question. This has literally no effect on the outcome.

  48. Well, does it have anything to do with the argument? No. You’re speculating that she has bad self esteem and that her bad self esteem is because you think she’s ugly/fat.

    That’s malicious.

  50. Who gives a shit?

    The people whose posts made fun of her appearance rather than correctly focusing on her actions and the character flaws which motivated them.
