And lets face it that is what these guys are, and if you support them you are just another member of our own brand of religious extremist terrorists. It is easy to convince a would be terrorist because they are easily swayed by a certain kind of misinformation. They seem to believe in their own righteousness, so much so they are willing to kill to impose that righteousness on the nation. They use terror techniques to attempt to control the behavior of a nation. They thrive on the belief they are so correct and actually doing "God's" work. They present themselves as messengers of God, these are the folks who know what God wants. How crazy is that? How Taliban like is that?
What next American Taliban, how will you terrorize us next? Do you realize you are no better than those who follow Osama bin Laden, you are foolish, undereducated, followers, and weak minded.
Bill O'Reilly says stuff to spin up these folks because it makes him rich. Does he even believe what he says? He is immoral, judgmental, and a purveyor of untruths no doubt, but it is the American Taliban and her members who believe we must all comply with their world view. If we do not they will impose their will using terror as their method of intimidation. Kill a doctor that performs abortions and fewer doctors will perform abortions. Guess what, that is what has happened over the years. American Taliban is getting their way, their terror is having an impact. Bill O'Reilly is a dick, no doubt about it and has made a great deal of money playing in the sand with the likes of the American Taliban. But these folks have been laying dormant for a few years now, ready to restart a campaign that began more than 30 years ago. I know I used to escort women into Planned Parenthood clinics. These folks are our own homegrown terrorists. Let's just label them correctly for a change though, let's call them Terrorists. It gives people a better term for what these folks really do.
It is tough, you sound like you are the classic abused wife and we can see it began with your father! I'll bet he treated your mom pretty shabbily as well.
Let me give you one piece of advice, FILE FIRST. You have to gain the upper hand here and have some child support established, etc. You can get yourself help from a lawyer if you can get yourself to a shelter. TAKE YOUR CHILD WITH YOU. Do not leave your child with him, you must keep continuous custody of your child, this is extremely important. You have to get out. Then you will need counseling and a whole host of services, this will be available to you at your local women's shelter but you must get there and you must not tell anyone, and you should go now.
I don't think it is a new low for Rush. I remember when he called Chelsea Clinton ugly but in an even more horrific, offensive way and to this day it makes me incredibly angry. He was willing to drag a little kid into his beef against her parents. He was willing to target a little girl, he is a poor excuse for a man. This is exactly the crap I expect from him and and those who follow him. Since he was willing to use a little kid in his get rich scheme, he will be willing to do or say anything so he can make more and more money. Because let's face it, he says these offensive things because it makes him money, oodles and oodles of money. He is a pig both figuratively and literally. If he had any real skills he would have a real job. His lack of skills belie his motives, he covers by pretending to research the offensive statements he makes about certain hot button subjects. He does these things because the rubes who follow him, believe him! This says as much about him as it does about those who believe him! It is pretty disgusting, but surprising, not very.
Sarah Palin pushed her kid into the spot light as she continues to do. Chelsea Clinton was a 13 year old kid, going to school, her parents NEVER EXPLOITED HER FOR THEIR PERSONAL GAIN UNLIKE SARAH PALIN.
That playboy article was written by a misogynist. Playboy as a magazine does nothing except exploit women. That article was vile. If it was an attempt to be funny, it was terrible and that guy should lose his job. I and the majority of feminists have never supported Playboy Magazine or those who contribute "articles". That editorial has been discussed on this site and most if not all agree that article was out of line and as I mentioned the writer should be fired. His work is disgraceful.
