Using graphic language in an opinion piece about "conflict minerals," potential U.S. Senate candidate Ashley Judd in 2010 accused those who buy Apple products of "financing mass rape."

"Apple is known for the clean lines of their products, the alluring simplicity of their designs," Judd wrote in the article. "Dare I…go so far…as to suggest…this signature cleanness is stained by the shit and urine of raped women's leaking fistulas?"

Judd, the Hollywood actress and liberal activist considering a run as a Democrat for the U.S. Senate in Kentucky, made the comments in an article on her website, which is titled "Costs of Convenience."

It's time for Kentuckians to stand up and be counted.

We need someone representing us in Washington who was a Tennessee delegate for Barack Obama in 2012.

We need someone who believes it is "unconscionable to breed."

Someone who has compared mountaintop removal mining to Rwandan genocide and has criticized Christianity as a religion that "legitimizes and seals male power."

Someone who has called the tradition of fathers "giving away" their daughters at weddings "a common vestige of male dominion over a woman's reproductive status."

Finally somebody had the courage to say it!
