Surely without intending to do so, liberal radio host Bill Press has providing a compelling argument against renewal of the Violence Against Women Act.
On his radio show this morning, the easily piqued Press sniffed in disdain at the sheer effrontery of Republican senators asking pointed questions of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton about the attack on the US consulate in Benghazi. (audio clip after page break)
Here's what the indignant Press had to say
"I have to tell you, man, watching the Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in front of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee yesterday and she appeared in front of the House committee in the afternoon, I was reminded of several things. Number one, the Republican war on women continues, it ain't over, man! They were in the middle of it yesterday. Number two, it's a good thing that the Violence Against Women Act hasn't been renewed. Otherwise there would have been some of those, a whole handful of thugs in the Republican, Republican thugs in the Senate and in the House led by Rand Paul and John McCain who would have been arrested for assaulting Secretary of State Hillary Clinton."
Press deserves credit, however, for pointing out this heretofore unnoticed and problematic provision in the Violence Against Women Act -- violence, as proponents of the law see it, occurs when anyone expresses an opinion that liberals don't like.
Typical Clinton “victim defense”. Works every time.
Does he think that women in combat situations will be any less assaulted when they’re overrun by enemy forces? The first mass rape that occurs will prove Panetta quite wrong. War is uncivilized confrontation.
If asking a few softball questions to Hillary now counts as “assault”, how do you describe the way Big Leftist Media treated Sarah Palin for years?
Libs would say that was different and ok.
Sounds like someone needs the WAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMBBBBUUUUUUUUUULLLLAAAAAANNNNNNCCCE!!!
And a nap!
Poor, lying Mrs. Slick Willie. Those pesky and wascally Wepublicans were picking on her again because she’s incompetent. It’s that wascally “War on Womyn” again. The one that wasn’t in effect when the scum sucking commie ‘RATS were destroying Sarah Palin and her family. If Slick’s wife can’t take the heat, she needs to stay out of the kitchen. I never heard Governor Palin whine like this when she was being trashed by light in the loafers DemocRATS.
If women want to be equal to men that means taking the same heat they do. Are we to assume that our country’s enemies will be gentle with the soon to be newly minted frontline women soldiers because they are women. Until women face the same exact demands as men they will have achieved only tokenism not equality.

Hillary has bigger balls than any GOP’er in the room.
He’s got some nerve! How dare he talk about violence against women - HE supported and pushed for Terri Shiavo’s murder!! If THAT isn’t violence against women, I sure as heck don’t know what is! I sure wish I’d kept his column, and the e-mail I sent him and his response. What gall! Talk about being on satan’s side.
How dare those slimy Rethuglicans ask questions of Queen Hillary!!! Don’t they know who they’re talking to those repulsive cretins???!!!! They dare to assume that Hillary the Smartest and Greatest Woman Ever does not deserve to be talked to like a normal government functionary. She is beyond being questioned by mere mortals (if you want to call Rethuglicans human...hrummph). All Republicans who were at that hearing deserve to be whipped with barbed wire and hung by their thumbs...or listen to an Obama speech. Equally miserable torture.
If clinton can’t take the heat she should stay out of the kitchen. It’s not as if she was a great cook, or something.
The Secretary of State should be able to be questioned, severely, and if Hillary is too ‘tender’ to take it, then she doesn’t have what it takes to be Secretary of State.
