Bill Kristol: "White women are a problem"

The New York Times columnist speaks his mind on Fox News, then swallows his words.

Conservative Men Have A Problem With Women

The problem conservative men have with women is that they are only used to dealing with two types of women:

1. The type that is DUMB enough to buy into that 'submit to the husband'& 'brood mare for the state' mentality; and

2. Hookers.

Is it any wonder they fear strong minded women, and that the thought of a strong woman as president makes them quake in their (secretly worn) silk panties?

Sweet!

If Bill Kristol considers me a problem, I'm doing something right.

To equate disliking HRC

with being scared of women is preposterous.

But the left spews all the time without regard to any reality. No wonder they are considered marginal.

HRC is basically like McCain or Romney or the other puppets cooked up by the establishment to ACT like they are differnet from each other.

They all like:

More government

More intrusion into our lives

More welfare to corporations

More military

More US hegemony

Fewer freedoms

Fewer rights

Open borders

Oh, there is some minor symbolic thing about gays and flag burning that they differ at.

In other words ALL OF THEM, left AND right are inadequate to this nation if it is to survive. I have already resigned myself to the coming world collapse because you clowns keep voting into power these inadequates over and over and over.

Vote Ron Paul or else explain to us all why you despise AMERICA as it is described in the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

And don't bug men about their panties, blame fruit of the loom for creating cotton sandpaper underwear.

God, you lefties are severely lacking. Brains or something..

This was a calculated move by Fox News

and Kristol to drive white female voters over to Hillary Clinton.

It is transparent reverse psychology.

"To equate disliking HRC with being scared of women is preposterous."

Bill Kirstol's quote was: "White women are a problem" We're addressing his attitude towards women. You can try to turn it into an anti-HRC thing but you'd be off base.

"But the left spews all the time without regard to any reality. No wonder they are considered marginal.

Very typical of a conservative when presented with evidence of the right's stupidity, i.e. Kristol's comment, the response is to blame the left. Lol. Also considering the whomping the right took in the 2006 elections and the fact the primary turn out is nearly 2 to 1 over the dems over repubs, I'd say the right is even more marginal than the left at this point.

What a witless bunch you all are!

If some of the same banter, word-for-word, had been uttered on The Daily Show or The Colbert Report, it wouldn't have been a blip on the Salon radar.

We conservatives happen to like strong women. The strongest? Margaret Thatcher. It's just that with conservative women, they don't go around trying to make statements about how they are the first this-or-that, or how they are making strides for womanhood. They just do their jobs.

Sorry to disappoint all of you identity-politics feminists.

You know what we need? An black female Associate Justice on the Supreme Court. I've got a strong-woman nominee. U.S. Circuit Court Judge Janice Rogers Brown. Okay with all of you?

Let me get this straight...

Saying unflattering things about white women is misogynistic and hateful, but saying vicious and nasty things about men of all races is perfectly fair and not objectionable whatsoever.

I suppose this makes perfect sense, seeing as how no one has ever been accused of not being a "real" feminist because they hated men too much.

THAT WAS HILARIOUS!

Thanks for the morning laugh. I'm not a Juan Williams fan, but that was a nice retort. And I don't want to defend Kristol, but it seems his comment didn't quite come out the way he meant it. I wouldn't make too much out of this cigar. He says plenty of dumb things on purpose.

Hello THOUGHT POLICE MAN

"To equate disliking HRC with being scared of women is preposterous."

Bill Kirstol's quote was: "White women are a problem" We're addressing his attitude towards women. You can try to turn it into an anti-HRC thing but you'd be off base.

Hello Mr. Thought Police Man. Not that I give a flip about what another one world elitist like Kristol says about anything, but he did say it in the context of HRC. He can have any attitude towards women that he chooses to have. As can any woman have any attitude towards men that she chooses. Or are we going to play THAT game now?

"But the left spews all the time without regard to any reality. No wonder they are considered marginal.

Very typical of a conservative when presented with evidence of the right's stupidity, i.e. Kristol's comment, the response is to blame the left. Lol. Also considering the whomping the right took in the 2006 elections and the fact the primary turn out is nearly 2 to 1 over the dems over repubs, I'd say the right is even more marginal than the left at this point.

I am not conservative for one thing. I am likely MORE liberal than YOU ARE, for one thing I still believe in individual rights, something you clowns jettisoned. I am humanist and libertarian and believe the only one NOT spewing lies at us is Ron Paul, a happens-to-be Republican but only in name.

And as for that whomping, what change exactly did it bring to Washington? None I can see, yet you still persist in your false belief that there is some difference between the two organs, Dum and Rep, in Washington. So, that means YOU are the problem. Yes, YOU.

Elephantdude, are you serious?

You do realize that The Daily Show and The Colbert Report are comedy shows, right? Satire? Parody? Do those terms mean anything to you?

Bill Kristol is not at all funny (at least, not intentionally). He was being serious. Hence, the blip.

Those shows are comedy shows. It Kristol's quote were to be said on their shows, it would be a joke.

Jeanette and Filth

you both damn well know you would shake hands with and slap on the back any women who said "white men are the problem", which makes you hypocrites.
