MSNBC's Wagner Brings on Lizz Winstead and Sarah Silverman
NewsBusters.org ^ | January 25, 2014 | Tim Graham

MSNBC's furor over Mike Huckabee's remarks on women and the Democrats boiled over on "Now with Alex Wagner" on Thursday afternoon. Radical feminist "comedians" Sarah Silverman and Lizz Winstead were promoted once again for their "V to Shining V" crusade for "Lady Parts Justice" -- that is, untrammeled abortion, the full Gosnell. (See previous promotional segment here.)

“It’s so bizarre,” Silverman said about Huckabee's remarks, smelling careerism and  insincerity. “When a politician is speaking on behalf of those people who are pulling their strings, for their purse and for their, um, the betterment of their career, it’s gross. I’m just an actress and when I speak out politically it does not help my career at all.” Silverman babbled and rambled about how sperm can smell, leaving Lizz Winstead to look like the articulate side of the Left.

“We have to stop feeding into this narrative that it’s somehow awful to be a sexual being, to enjoy your sexuality, to want to be responsible with your sexuality," said Winstead, constructing the usual MSNBC straw man.

Winstead got personal: “You know what. I actually enjoy sex; and I like to protect myself so I don’t get pregnant, because I have looked inside myself after many years on Earth and said ‘You know what? I’d be an awful mother.’ And so to prevent that from happening to the world around us, I think I’ll use birth control."

Winstead is now liberated and 52.

When it came to pro-lifers, Winstead summed up: "I guess what they’re trying to prove over and over again that their sex lives are so miserable that they’re going to try and do everything in their power to just beat the drum of repression. I don’t know what else to say."

Wagner began the show in completely fem-botic exaggeration: "Just when you thought the Republican Party’s open antagonism toward women and their reproductive organs couldn’t get any more hostile, hours ago, talk show host, former governor, and failed presidential candidate Mike Huckabee took it upon himself to 'mansplain' to the women of America how one party wants to tame their wild libidos.”

Notice how Wagner loves to pretend there aren't actually any Republican women, who apparently have an open antagonism to their own reproductive organs. Wagner was certainly playing games with Huckabee’s actual speech, which she called “downright terrifying.”

But that's nothing compared to Wagner pretending there's nothing noticeable eliminated in an abortion. (Here we go again, Liberals For Science!) Wagner also claimed that more people die in colonoscopies than in abortion, so she asked "Why isn't there an anti-colonoscopy lobby?" This graphic appeared on screen:

In small type underneath, don't miss "SOURCE: ROLLING STONE." It doesn't say "You can get all your pot supplies and your MSNBC stats in the same place."

Wagner grew up in Washington, D.C.

Her father, Carl Wagner, is from Iowa and is a prominent Democratic Party political consultant who co-chaired Bill Clinton’s presidential campaign.

Protip: For successful abortions, the mortality rate is 100,000 per 100,000.

Wagner has worked as the cultural correspondent for the Center for American Progress.

Center for American Progress

Its President and chief executive officer is Neera Tanden, who worked for the Obama and Clinton administrations and for Hillary Clinton’s campaigns. Its first President and chief executive officer was John Podesta, who served as chief of staff to then U.S. President Bill Clinton. Podesta remains with the organization as chairman of the board.

In 2003, George Soros promised to financially support the organization by donating up to three million dollars.

Some open government groups, such as the Sunlight Foundation and the Campaign Legal Center, criticize the Center’s failure to disclose its contributors, particularly since it is so influential in appointments to the Obama administration.

The Center for American Progress is classified as a 501(c)(3) organization under U.S. Internal Revenue Code. The institute receives approximately $25 million per year in funding from a variety of sources, including individuals, foundations, and corporations, but it declines to release any information on the sources of its funding. No funders are listed on its website or in its Annual Report. From 2003 to 2007, the Center received about $15 million in grants from 58 foundations. Major individual donors include George Soros, Peter Lewis, Steve Bing, and Herb and Marion Sandler. The Center receives undisclosed sums from corporate donors.

“Winstead got personal: “You know what. I actually enjoy sex;”

Maybe my reading comprehension is off, but is there a large group of people that don’t enjoy having sex?

Wagner is engaged to Barack Obama’s personal chef and “Let’s Move” ambassador, Sam Kass.

I was saddened, years ago, to find out that Sarah Silverman was a crazy lefty. But at least she hasn’t reproduced.

Yes, republicans, all of them and certainly all conservatives.

And they want to keep everyone else from having sex. They want to keep government monopoly money that grows on trees, and in no way comes from the taxpayer, out of everyone’s hands, certainly progressives’.

I ‘d like to ask Wagner if it’s a good idea to have half of his viewership on as guests. Oh well it’s not like he has to compete in the free market.

These feminists sure do want to talk about sex an awful lot. Amanda Marcotte, Sandra Fluke, now Sarah Silverman and this other shrew. They all seem so ...... sexless. I suspect they are all talk.

Winstead, for those who don't know, destroyed Comedy Central and helped to force the Daily Show as a "news source".

As for Silverman, she's just not funny. Sorry, she's not. Her stand up was never good and her old show was just awful.
