Is this true?
I've never heard of the site this story is at, but the story is so terrifying (Repuclicans re-writing proposed Democratic amendments to bills to make it seem like the Democrats were trying to help sexual predators) it needs to be verified, and now. I found it here, and Parsons mentions not even something like Air America has been covering it.
They've got quotes from (real) members of Congress and the House of Representatives, and a photocopy of a page from the Congressional record.
I'm actually going to email Atrios about this, because I can't think of anyone else to ask.

So I emailed him about it, asking "is this real, and if so surely the media will pick it up, right?" Silly me. He promptly got back to me and said:
"it's true, and they ignored it".
I find that profoundly depressing.
