March 17, 2012 (Lemon Grove)—Lemon Grove resident Michael John Kobulnicky, 50, a leader in the San Diego Tea Party and former regional director of the Southern California Conservative Party, is under arrest for allegedly kidnapping and raping a local woman on Fiesta Island.

“He dragged her out of the car and sexually assaulted her pretty brutally,” San Diego Police Lt. Andra Brown told ECM news partner 10 News in late February, shortly after the February 25 assault occurred.
<snip>
According to his website, Kobulnicky supports Christian values, is a father of five sons, and is co-founder and president of the National Council of Americans, Inc, a nonprofit that helps youths. He also lists prior employment as faculty at California Miramar University, teacher and coach at Val Verde Unified School District, manager of a landscape design company, and more.

His Facebook page indicates he became engaged in early March and planned to be married in April. Kobulnicky, who is divorced, was accused of domestic violence in 2008, San Diego Superior Court records indicate.

What a family values kinda guy--and the right-wing conservatives in his party think a woman who is raped should have to give birth to her rapist's baby if she gets pregnant. Guess they're just interested in propagating their own.

Much more about this guy at the link above.

1. reading the rest of the story

made me more ill than what you posted. That poor woman.

[Liberty Belle]

3. I wonder what the "foreign object" was that he used?

First thought that came to mind was one of those vaginal probes....

[saras]

2. I never thought anyone would advocate this stuff in public without meaning it - no surprise.

Really - why would anyone risk going up against the whole civilized world and advocating this sort of thing be legal if they weren't interested in it? Isn't this exactly what the Tea Party is advocating for?

[truthisfreedom]

4. :And... he's also leader of the Lemon Grove Christian Teabagger Rapists Association.

[Danascot]

27. ... and perhaps the Lemon Party as well?

50. "When life gives you lemons, make Lemonade." And when...

...when life gives you manure, make a Teabagger.

[Booby]

77. That is a waste of manure

[grantcart]

5. wow and another future Repulblican advocate for penal reform.

[goclark]

56. You got that right!

Where do they find these losers?

[DFW]

62. They don't find these losers

It's the losers that find them.

6. Lemon Grove

A friend of mine living in La Mesa (next to Lemon Grove) was arrested and charged with DUI. In addition to attending classes, he had to perform a number of hours picking up trash...around the Big Lemon.

It's time for another "Tea Party" in response to these thugs and bullies who make up the "conservative" wing of the GOP--

Terrorized
Enough
Already!

[bluedigger]

7. Damn!

He's like a poster child for moral cowardice and duplicity.

[PM Martin]

8. Typical "Christian" conservative.

[IndyJones]

81. Exactly. Do as I say, not as I do. Just waiting for something gross to come from

Sanctimonius Santorum. It's always the ones who want everyone else repressed who are the creepiest.

[butterfly77]

9. This is the most hypocritcal one I have heard of yet..

kidnapping,assault,rape,divorced. I wonder if the woman he raped and assaulted was his fiance.

Are these the values the TEABAGGERS want to perpetrate on the youths he is involved with and the five sons.

I just read the story he is really,really disgusting!

[dana_b]

10. a woman with car trouble

he didn't know her.

[Liberty Belle]

16. Not the fiance.

Her photo is on his FB page and she looks much younger than the victim.

Police were posting surveillance video and asking public help to ID the guy, which clearly means he wasn't known to the victim, a woman who was walking and he offered her a ride home.

Also a good reminder here, never get in a car with anyone you don't know! If you are stranded with car trouble and someone stops, just ask them to call the police if you don't have a phone -- stay locked in your car.

[lunatica]

43. She was a woman in her late 50s. Read the article.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

11. He's a TEABAGGER! Shock! Funny how the SD "news" is leaving out this info.

Actually the conservative leaning "news" is more commentary & propaganda.

[frogmarch]

12. What will his defense be?

That he was just upholding republican values?

What a despicable pos. I hope he goes to prison for a long, long time.

[Politicalboi]

15. The woman was wearing

A low cut blouse, and a real short dress. You see, she provoked it. He couldn't control his man parts, and so it's not his fault she teased him. With crowd today in the GOP that would probably be a good defense. Just like Sandra Fluke is to blame for Limpballs. The GOP today are more like the adults in South Park.

[Liberty Belle]

18. I haven't seen anything about what she was wearing.

Not that it should matter, but for all we know she was covered head to toe.

[quakerboy]

34. Still, you have to admit she was being

a woman. and for this tea party stalwart, that was apparently enough provocation in itself

[wordpix]

55. his defense: he's a a loyal SS man for the rethugs

that's how they behave

[onethatcares]

13. I wonder what and how much help he's given to youths

as the co founder of the National Council of Americans, Inc?

trust me, in my opinion he's a sick fuck and needs a dose of true justice. (not advocating violence)

[Dont call me Shirley]

49. Kinda like Jerry Sandusky's little youth group...

forcing poor boys to have sex with sick old men.

[TheOther95Percent]

14. I bet Aunt Petunia's Silver Teapot

This isn't the first time he's raped a woman. This is just the first time he's been caught at it. He's also got an domestic violence arrest. My younger sister is in law enforcement and she tells me it's fairly common to find sex offenders with domestic violence arrests in their backgrounds. Like, duh.

[Blue_Tires]

74. +1000

[Grassy Knoll]

17. This is a frame job by George Soros.......

and media matters, And that woman was a OWS plant that snitched.

[da_decider]

26. And Shirley Sherrod...

And Unions, Moooozlims, Sharia, Common the rapper, Saul Olinski (not even going to bother check his name's spelling because I don't who the F he is), and Pink (sorry Black) Panthers, and of course, ACORN!
They were all in it.

[lunasun]

57. Well this would never have happened if this wonderful country's virtues & morals hadn't been

completely dismantled by that Kenyan Obama !!!!

[starroute]

19. This sort of violence from Teabaggers is not a joke any more

When the first of these sorts of stories about Teabagger adultery or DUIs came out, it seemed like a good opportunity to make fun of "Republican Family Values" and all that. But this story crosses the line from "behavior that is only noteworthy because conservatives are such hypocrites" into "really sick shit."

I mean, what *is* it with right-wingers? We know from studies that they're more fearful, more dependent on authority to tell them what to do, and often just not very smart. But why is there also a buried streak of violence in so many of them?

Between this and the Florida teen who was killed by a neighborhood vigilante, I'd like to officially declare a moratorium on making light of conservative violations of ordinary, decent human norms. There's something very wrong going on there, and seeing any of it as a source of humor -- or as a way for liberals to score points -- doesn't come to grips with the problem.

[freshwest]

21. Rush's making light of the horrors committed at Abu Graif comes to mind.

They think this is funny, they're proud of him just like they didn't let up when Giffords was shot. The FB postings praising the killing of the little girl that day, since she'd grow up to a 'bleeding heart liberal' by allegedly Christian posters, quite young as well, terms their social views.

Terrifying POV, well armed, and increasingly in positions of authority. This will, of course, be written off as unrelated to any of my connections I've made... Just another lone crazed rapist...

[lunatica]

44. You're absolutely right

It's time we stopped dismissing them. They're doing a great deal of damage with over a hundred laws in different states against women and abortion rights and contraception. They've declared war on us and this act is just one of the foot soldiers taking his reward forcibly.

[freshwest]

20. Restoring honor to America! Thanks, Beckerheads!

[OVERPAID01]

22. The repugs will say...

She is a tramp/prostitute undoubtedly hired by the liberals to entrap him and make him look bad. They will say he is obviously being set up to discredit the tea party...any thoughts on this scenario?

[libmom74]

23. Sad but not surprising

all of the recent legislation being advocated by these conservative "christians" shows how they feel about women.

[MrScorpio]

24. I didn't know that rape was a Conservative Christian family value

You learn something new every day

[Hassin Bin Sober]

59. Ever read the bible?

[MrScorpio]

60. Well, it was in the Old Testament for sure

But I doubt that Jesus would have approved. He was too much of a hippie.

[Stonepounder]

73. Seems like most 'evangelical Christians' don't bother too much with the New Testament

An awful lot of what I hear coming out of the 'moral majority' and the 'evangelical Christians' has almost no relationship to the teachings of Jesus. Instead it seems much more firmly rooted in the 'God or wrath, God of vengeance' of the Old Testament. They don't seem to get that the Old Testament was written before the New Testament, and that the teachings of Christ (note: Christ is the root of Christianity) differed significantly from the teachings in the Old Testament. You can't really call yourself a Christian if you ignore the teachings of the guy you supposedly follow.

[da_decider]

25. FOX NEWS will be allover this...

I'll be waiting for Faux News' rodeo clowns to jump on this story as they did with the instances of alleged rapes within Occupy Wall Street crowd.

[Icicle]

29. Fox News?

I hope you packed a lunch and brought a lantern, because I bet Fox won't even mention this.
Or, if they DO mention it, they will say he's an Occupy guy.

[proud2BlibKansan]

28. OMG he was an elementary school teacher

[asjr]

30. Tea bags must be the only thing he has for balls.

[AllyCat]

58. +1

All kinds of chicken $hit in this guy.

[Honeycombe8]

31. Wow. How proud the Tea Party must be. Bet you won't hear this story on Faux.

Or will we....only slanted to make it sound somehow better. If that's possible.

What a lowlife. He better spend time in prison.

[hayrow1]

36. Fox News will "accidently" list his name with a "(D-Cal.)" under it

[Honeycombe8]

48. Oh, I forgot about that trick. Yep, I think you're right. nt

[me b zola]

32. "STOP RAPING PEOPLE!"

This message was brought to you from the other side.

[JI7]

42. that's who i thought of when i read this

[SleeplessinSoCal]

33. San Diego has got some weird water

[Plucketeer]

35. Their "tapwater" system

has pipes leading right into the bay!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

37. "liberal" media goes ape for Dems' peccadilloes, while

"christian" terrorist reich wing tea-bagging 204 pound 6'3" men, PILLARS OF the FUCKING CONSERVATIVE COMMUNITY, attack and rape little middle aged women.......bet the media will shoo this off to some quiet little corner......




great vengeance and fuuuuuurious anger.....I'm there.

[ladywnch]

38. well, from what I've read he only raped a woman. It's not like he did anything horrible.

I mean if he had raped a baby, or maybe a fetus , THAT would have been bad. But it was only a woman and we all know that woman rate only as physical possession to be used for men's enjoyment so clearly, no harm, no foul, nothing to see here.....move along.

[freshwest]

40. He was just practicing for his part-time job, giving transvaginal ultrasounds. Note 'foreign object.

[Logical]

45. Someone alerted this post!!! I guess sarcasm is not appreciated by some!

[ladywnch]

65. I was going to put the 'sarcasm' tag on it but I thought it was so obvious.........

I guess some people really are sarcasm impaired.

[Logical]

69. No need too! The jury vote was 5-1 to leave it. So most people understood it. n-t

[freshwest]

71. Rush's diatribe on Fluke turned him on, I'll bet. Nice going, GOP.

No Lone Rapist defense on this one. You guys own this prince, trying to give her one of Rick Sanctorum's gifts from God, or practicing for his new job raping women for the state for the GOP.

I wonder what station his radio was set on?

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

39. ''BEHAVE YOURSELF!!! STOP RAPING PEOPLE!!!''. Oh Breitdouche you left us too soon. At least

you should have stuck around long enough to spin this.

[uppityperson]

41. His facebook page is locked down, can't comment. Dang.

[TexasProgresive]

46. He didn't have a vaginal ultrasound probe.

Guess he just did what he had to do with what he had. Sorry couldn't resist.

[Dont call me Shirley]

47. Tea Party Family Values: Rape, Incest, Kidnapping, Torture, Animal Abuse,

Bigotry, Cheating, Perjury, Intimidation, Racketeering, Stealing, Murder, Genocide...

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

51. Was he wearing a gun to show off his rights?

[Odin2005]

52. Teabagger "Family Values"!

[excuse not to write]

53. Why am I not Shocked?

Fuckin' TPs probably think a woman is nothing more than a drain for testicular fluid.

[Canuckistanian]

54. Oh well, he supports "Christian values"

But apparently doesn't like to practice them.

[menotyou48]

61. com on now

You guys he was just trying to, in the words of Rick Santorum "give her a horribly created gift"

[Jamaal510]

63. Seriously, this is the 1st time I heard of a Teabagger getting arrested.

Usually it's folks on our side, the OWS protesters, who are the ones getting arrested.

[tabasco]

64. New here?

80. You should read more often nt

[Evasporque]

68. But in his mind beating women is ok...because that is conservative values...

Beat down the disobedient woman.

[Bluzmann57]

70. What a piece of shit that guy is.

What's the penalty in California for kidnapping and rape? Here in Iowa, it's life without parole. Let's hope it's the same in California he gets that sentence.
And not that I'm advocating violence, but it seems like a shame that if someone beat this guy to a bloody pulp, he or she would be in jail even though they would be doing society a favor.
Oops, guess I should try and type a bit better. The ol' two fingered method just isn't working.

[Thinkingabout]

72. Sounds like sharia is being declared by conseratives

The same ones who railed against sharia law is practicing sharia law. Family values, remind me to steer clear of the ones for family values. Right wing sites claiming rapes, etc with the OWS folks, looks like they got the wrong information, it is tea party.

[mikeSchmuckabee]

75. Why isn't breitbart screaming "stop raping and kidnapping!"?

Oh yeah, he's dead.

[Enrique]

76. "public relations representative" for the Tea Party

Kobulnicky lists his leadership roles as “currently the co-organizer and public relations representative for the San Diego Tea Party.”

[Liberal_in_LA]

78. sick bastard. glad he was caught

[agentS]

79. It's always the family values guys...

[Juneboarder]

82. Disgusting. Just disgusting.

I ran into this guy, believe it or not, at Occupy San Diego. He is a complete loony toon. Came down to OSD to try and unite the Teabaggers and Occupy here in SD, and then the next minute turns around and runs up to Issa's office to trash talk Occupy and hold a teabagger rally.
