I have to tell you CoA, I am sickened and saddened by some of the statements on this thread.
Donald Trump needed to answer for those comments about women, and I guarantee the Dems, and MSM were saving them for if he was/is nominated.
To see people who I consider decent Conservatives cheer Trump for calling Meagan a “Bimbo”, to themselves call her a “bitch”, to be ok with calling Malkin a “whore”, and I’m only at post 200. It makes me sad for the future, and for women.
I said this when Bill Maher called Palin a C-—, and when the little fag called the Miss CA candidate what he did.
Scum sucking pigs, all of them. If it’s said in front of me, they’d get punched in the mouth.
IIRC we were all pretty po’d at Hillary for calling all the women, accusing Bill of sexual misconduct, “Bimbos”.
When did it become ok?
Calling Sarah a C-—, is different than calling Malkin a “whore” in what way?
I’ll tell these people how to judge if a term is ok to use for a woman.
Before you type, ask yourself if you would want the term used to describe your mother, wife, girlfriend, sister, or daughter?
If the answer is no, then, man up, and don’t use it to describe any other woman.
As for Donald Trump, I was ok with his answer to the question last night. Now that he’s doubled down by using the term for Meagan, not so much. If I were her husband, Trump and I would be having a “discussion” today, and it wouldn’t be pleasant.
1) In a world with ISIS torturing and beheading people, Iran hoping to gain the ability to vaporize "infidels", our nation's identity and solvency hanging by a thread, and innocent babies being callously killed and their body parts sold off to the highest bidder, is this nonsense really what we should be wasting our time discussing?
2) We have been lectured for years about "strong women", and how women can do anything that men can do and should not be treated differently. So, are women capable of being anything a man can be, up to and including a trained killer in the military, or are they delicate, fragile little flowers that must be shielded from even a mere insensitive remark lest they wilt in response? Which is it? I'm tired of (usually, but not always liberal) women trying to have it both ways - wanting to be considered no different than a man, yet trying to use their femininity as a shield to deflect criticism or harshness when it suits them.
I’m not a Megyn Kelly fan, and I think it was pretty sickening of her to try and play the victim after the debate by saying Trump went after her because she was a woman. That’s exactly the kind of thing a liberal chick would pull.
That said, Trump is coarse—and that’s putting it very mildly. People have got to ask themselves if this is what they want in the White House.
From what I’ve seen of his current Twitter explosion, he’s a thin-skinned narcissist who is unable to take criticism, and who melts down when confronted with it. He’s blundering all over the place, yelling insults.
I don’t think he has a lot of respect for women in general, no. I recently read an old New Yorker mag interview of Trump. The reporter who interviewed him did a 2011 follow-up, and he described a conversation in which Trump asked him, “Know what I consider the perfect company?”
The answer? “A total piece of a##.”
Ted Cruz is head and shoulders-—or maybe miles-—above that kind of thing.
