GOP congressman once lamented not being able to call women names - GMDino - 07-19-2018 Poor guy. ![]() https://www.cnn.com/2018/07/18/politics/kfile-jason-lewis/ Quote:A Republican congressman from Minnesota has a long history of making deeply misogynistic comments on the radio, including lamenting that women can no longer be called "sluts." In his defense he was just being "provocative" for his show. He clearly didn't MEAN anything he said....then. He means what he says now. You can TOTALLY trust him on that. Sidenote: I worked in radio, how do these guys not know that most of this stuff gets saved forever now? RE: GOP congressman once lamented not being able to call women 'sluts' anymore - PhilHos - 07-19-2018 Gotta love the hypocrisy. It's okay for a Democrat to call about 1/4 of the American population deplorable human beings, but heaven forbid if a conservative wants to call someone who sleeps around with a lot of people a slut. ;rolleyes: RE: GOP congressman once lamented not being able to call women 'sluts' anymore - michaelsean - 07-19-2018 It was on a radio show. Was he saying it in the guise of comedy? 'Cause then it's ok. RE: GOP congressman once lamented not being able to call women 'sluts' anymore - Millhouse - 07-19-2018 Was that for all women or just the actual sluts?

ALL Trump supporters got offended (snowflakes) because...they don't understand percentages? Trump supporters start calling themselves deplorable because....they wanted to be associated with the worst kinds of people who supported the same guy as they did? GOP guy says if a female want birth control covered/paid for "you must use a lot and that used to make you slut". Yep. TOTALLY hypocrisy. ![]() The usual suspects using the usual worn out words. RE: GOP congressman once lamented not being able to call women 'sluts' anymore - michaelsean - 07-19-2018 The hottie from NY hasn't officially won her election, so I guess we will have to wait for Jan to hear how she thinks unemployment is low because so many people have two jobs. I enjoy Dino's bipartisan congressional moron upsates.

There's a lot wrong there, and, in regard to political issues, it falls in line with the head scratching position of the right to try and reduce birth control access and promote having more kids as an answer to fixing the economy. That said, I'm not sure what the point is in a 2-year old story of a Republican behaving badly.

Many women take the pill for health reasons, not contraception. Limbaugh appeared not to know or care about that, equating insurance-covered estrogen with taxpayer funded sex--and lots of it--since Limbaugh also seems to have thought that women use the pills as needed for sex, like condoms. A thousand dollars worth of condoms in a year?? So, in an act of what Lewis called "entertainment," Limbaugh publicly branded Fluke a "woman who sleeps around with a lot of people." Doubtful, since she was a graduate student with a very busy schedule. She was singled out for testifying on a health care issue, which Rush and the Right countered with unfounded slander, defending the right of men to slander in the case of the OP above. Also, the Right is getting rather too much mileage out of the "deplorables" comment, given whom they placed in the White House. Trump doesn't call people "deplorable" for behaving deplorably. He calls them "liars" and "second raters" and makes fun of their looks for opposing him, especially for reporting the truth and asking tough questions. You agree that this is what Trump does, right? You are not a Trump supporter and are not invested in shoring up his brand. RE: GOP congressman once lamented not being able to call women names - Nately120 - 07-19-2018 What kind of beta male doesn't want all the women around him to be on birth control?

YOU'RE STILL DEFENDING HER IN THIS VERY POST. Yet, you have a problem with the guy in the OP calling women sluts. That is the very definition of hypocrisy.

A thousand dollars worth of condoms in a year?? Don't misunderstand me. I don't support the things that Lewis said. Just pointing out yet another instance of hypocrisy in that the same people who defended Clinton's 'deplorables' comment are now upset at Lewis'.

Probably, because as I explained, they are two very different things. One based on the actual actions of a vocal group and the other an attempt at shaming someone for something they did not say or do. But hey....Clinton!

So 30 some million racists and misogynists and whatever else she called them?

While it's true, Lewis was blasting the actual actions of a group whereas Clinton was shaming people for something they did not say or do, it is STILL hypocrisy to defend Clinton and criticize Lewis.

Just pointing out yet another instance of hypocrisy in that the same people who defended Clinton's 'deplorables' comment are now upset at Lewis'. I don't care for either comment as it paints sections of our country with a broad (and erroneous) brush. On the other hand, I'm tired of hearing about Clinton/Obama. She was a previous lawmaker and presidential candidate who made a generally insulting and divisive comment. That's not really the same thing as the litany of anti-birth control comments, some eloquent, some like this guy's, that have been thrown around over the last decade. It's difficult to discuss an overall issue or policy — or in this case a party with an attitude that half the population doesn't have the right to engage in sex unless it's possible to procreate — when the only answer is "Yeah, but the other side said..." Honestly, it doesn't matter to the discussion if HRC called Trump supporters deplorable. Now, if she called Trump supporters sluts for wanting their birth control to be as protected as a man's erectile dysfunction drugs, then I'd see the reasoning for bringing her in. But I'm pretty sure she just called them deplorable to get down on Trump's level and show she could sling mud, too.

So you're saying Lewis was correct that Fluke and the women who wanted their birth control covered by insurance were promiscuous sluts. But millions of Trump supporters were NOT posting/saying racist/misogynist things. That's the hill you want to die on? Glad your "not" a Trump supporter. ![]() Equally glad you are not on my side of this argument. ![]() RE: GOP congressman once lamented not being able to call women names - Nately120 - 07-19-2018 (07-19-2018, 02:23 PM)michaelsean Wrote: You got it backwards.
