Is it me or have there just been a number of incredibly inappropriate comments by liberals about conservative women?
Harkin Apologizes after Ernst Calls Remarks Sexist
Monday, 03 Nov 2014
Retiring Iowa Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin apologized Monday for calling Republican Joni Ernst attractive, but "wrong for the state of Iowa."
Harkin, who has served in the Senate for 30 years and is supporting Democrat Bruce Braley to succeed him, made the remarks at a recent Democratic dinner. Video of the comments was posted on the Buzzfeed website Sunday.
"I don't care if she's as good looking as Taylor Swift or as nice as Mr. Rogers, but if she votes like (U.S. Rep.) Michele Bachmann, she's wrong for the state of Iowa," Harkin said.
Ernst decried the remark as sexist, saying: "he was talking about me being attractive and I was very offended by that, and again if I had been a male candidate, he wouldn't have made those statements." But referencing a Swift song, Ernst said she would "shake it off."
In a statement released Monday afternoon, Harkin said: "I shouldn't have said those things, I know that. I regret any time someone feels offended by what I have said. I am only human and I can make mistakes sometimes in how I say something. In fact, I have complimented her on running a very good campaign."
Braley's campaign manager Sarah Benzing said in a statement that "Bruce is glad that Senator Harkin made it clear today that he regrets making those comments and that he shouldn't have talked about the race that way."
Ernst, 44, a state lawmaker, and Braley, 57, a four-term congressman, have been locked in a tight race for months. Late polls show conflicting results, with one poll suggesting Ernst had pulled ahead, while several others showed a close matchup. Millions have poured into the state as Republicans drive for the six-seat gain they need to take the Senate.
Both candidates stumped for votes Monday. Ernst greeted voters at a bagel shop in Ankeny as part of a final 24-hour tour through the state, with stops overnight until she votes in her hometown of Red Oak on Tuesday.
Braley toured the state with Harkin on Monday, touting a weekend of aggressive voter outreach. Braley will accompany his mother when she votes in Brooklyn on Tuesday.

NIKKI HALEY'S DEM OPPONENT: 'ESCORT WHORE OUT THE DOOR!'
by JOHN NOLTE 24 Oct 2014
While giving a get-out-the-vote speech at a Florence, South Carolina political event, Democrat gubernatorial candidate, State Senator Vincent Shaheen, told cheering fans of his opponent, sitting Republican governor Nikki Haley, "We are going to escort whore out the door." He then seemed to correct himself by exchanging the word "whore" with "her" while sharing knowing smiles and laughs with the Democrat crowd.
Shaheen lost to Haley in 2010. In their current rematch, the Real Clear Politics poll of polls has Haley ahead by more than 15 points.
Democrats have largely based their 2014 hopes on the party's support and respect for women.

All the demagoguery from the left and right is so disgusting. What a bunch of hypocritical fools. But the proles eat it up even when they should know better.

How the White House will use 'war on women' in 2015
BY BRIAN HUGHES | JANUARY 26, 2015
President Obama and his allies plan to ramp up their focus on the Republican "war on women," using the campaign-style approach to paint the new GOP majority as out of touch with the voters Democrats badly need to mobilize.
But the White House is tweaking its appeal to women, developing a more economic-centered pitch rather than devoting so much attention to social issues.
“It can’t just be abortion and birth control all the time,” a veteran Democratic pollster with close ties to the White House told the Washington Examiner.
“You have to give people a reason to vote for us, not just against the other side,” the female pollster added. “That’s why I think you’re seeing the White House frame it more in economic terms. I think that message appeals to even more women.”
The “war-on-women” attack proved disastrous for Democrats in November, most notably in a very winnable Senate contest in Colorado in which voters accused the party of pushing a single-issue platform.
Central to the newest effort is a heavy dose of messaging on equal pay, paid leave and greater access to child care, issues that received major play in Obama’s State of the Union address last week.
“It’s time we stop treating child care as a side issue, or as a women’s issue, and treat it like the national economic priority that it is for all of us,” Obama told lawmakers.
Directly challenging Republicans, he later added, “Congress still needs to pass a law that makes sure a woman is paid the same as a man for doing the same work. It’s 2015. It’s time.”
However, Obama is hardly guaranteed to get much traction from the plan. The White House still lacks an effective defense for why female staffers earn less money on average than their male counterparts at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., analysts said.
Women at the White House make 88 cents for every dollar earned by a man, not all that different from the national average Obama so often highlights.
Those findings forced Obama spokesman Josh Earnest in July to admit, “I wouldn’t hold up the White House as the perfect example here.”
Critics argue that Obama’s message has another fatal flaw.
“Any woman who is a victim in this economy during the last six years is a victim of the Barack Obama economy,” said Republican pollster Kellyanne Conway. “Their own hand has brought any malady they are citing. They’re trying to run a challenger’s campaign as an incumbent.”
The White House isn’t dropping the issue of reproductive rights altogether — it recently issued a veto threat to a Republican bill banning abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy — but has put that message on the back burner.
Still, Republicans say the latest iteration of the White House attack won't work, noting their own efforts to pass legislation on worker training and flexibility, among other measures particularly appealing to women.
“It’s a strategy that failed in November, but for some reason, they’re going to double down,” said Doug Heye, former communications director of the Republican National Committee. “Republicans learned their lesson from dumb comments by dumb candidates in 2010 and 2012. Republicans are comfortable speaking about these issues."
Republicans fielded much-improved candidates in 2014, mostly avoiding nominees such as Todd Akin and Richard Mourdock, who embarrassed the party when wading into a discussion on rape.
The White House is now essentially taking a new page out of an old playbook to beat Republicans.
When asked by the Examiner whether Obama would continue to grill conservatives on their approach to women’s issues, a White House official replied simply, “You better believe it.”

It is nice that you are so concerned about the Democratic Party.
LOL - yeah a few stupid comments by a few people is somehow indicative of the entire party (unlike your party not supporting equal pay, limiting access to contraception and abortion, etc..)
Obama won in 2012 with the largest gender gap in history
-
the idea to pitch a campaign against the Republicans by saying that Republicans have a war on women is an incredibly stupid move by the Democrats. Basically they are depending on the hope that all of the Democratic Congressman have done nothing untoward with women that will come out in the news.
so.......good luck with that.

Basically here's how it went (tell me where i'm wrong):
Obama admin cries out for equal pay for women saying that the disparity is unfair and that women make 77 cents on the dollar to men....liberals swoon.
analysts who conduct studies on it explain that there are a number of reasons why women make less, (i.e. more women working part time, women choosing lower paying fields, especially in fields like medicine, women choosing less hazardous jobs, women leaving work force for child birth, etc.)
liberals call these people liars, sexist, and bigots.
then conservatives take a look at the Obama administration and discover that women in the Obama administration only make 88 cents on the dollar and call Obama a hypocrite.
liberal analysts explain that there are a number of reasons why women make less, (i.e. more women working part time, women choosing lower paying fields, women choosing less hazardous jobs, women leaving work force for child birth, etc.)
liberals laugh at these stupid conservatives for not taking into account all of the relevant facts.
that is how I remember it. so was the Obama administration lying? I know you're not allowed to say that they were but I figured i'd ask.

you said "proven to be stupid" so just show that proof (be precise or change your statement)
btw- just so that we're on the same page. I'm not suggesting everyone should be paid equally all the time. There are obvious difference in experience, job performance, tenure, etc.. but if all else is equal and the man is paid more because of the claim he has a family to support or some other horseshit then that is discriminatory.
Anyway, if Repubs really want to pretend the Dems have a war on woman I would love to see them make that an issue in 2016
btw - save you links.
If there is some part of the link you want me to see then cut it and paste it along with the link

This brings us to our larger point: Broad comparisons are inherently problematic. As the BLS points out: “Users should note that the comparisons of earnings in this report are on a broad level and do not control for many factors that may be significant in explaining earnings differences.”
Indeed, economists at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis surveyed economic literature and concluded that “research suggests that the actual gender wage gap (when female workers are compared with male workers who have similar characteristics) is much lower than the raw wage gap.” They cited one survey, prepared for the Labor Department, which concluded that when such differences are accounted for, much of the hourly wage gap dwindled, to about 5 cents on the dollar. (UPDATE: Our colleagues at WonkBlog calculate that the gap narrows to 91 cents for every dollar “if you control for life choices.”)
Not only did the White House pick the statistic that makes the wage gap look the worst, but then officials further tweaked the numbers to make the situation for African Americans and Hispanics look even more dire. The BLS, for instance, says the pay gap is relatively small for black and Hispanic women (94 cents and 91 cents, respectively) but the numbers used by the White House compare their wages against the wages of white men. Black and Hispanic men generally earn less than white men, so the White House comparison makes the pay gap even larger, even though the factors for that gap between minority women and white men may have little to do with gender.
Administration officials, who insisted on anonymity and would not allow direct quotes, defended their use of the data. They said the Census figures give a more complete picture of women’s contribution to household finances. They also said it made much more sense to compare black and Hispanic women to white men, because those wages represent the standard that all workers should aspire to. The officials said the administration has never argued that wage discrimination is 100 percent the cause of the gap, and that previous documents issued by the White House have made it clear that the comparisons were being made to white men.
it's called cherry picking information. politicians do this.....all the time.
please don't forget that when the Obama administration was accused of the same exact thing, they used the same exact argument against the conservative media who was accusing them. so if you don't believe these facts than your beef should extend to the Obama administration.
my opinion? its a fucking non issue. its used for political posturing and you're getting sucked into it.

Given the other issues of the day I'd say only getting paid 91% of a male colleague is not that big of deal
I'm sure that is what you would tell your wife or daughter

of course its dumb. and yes there are many reasons and variables that make it the way that it is. men tend to take riskier jobs than women overall that call for higher pay.
I can play with statistics all day and find inequities in every fucking organization in the world.
this is where I take issue with bleeding heart liberals. .91 on the dollar? and you want to legislate and enforce this so that it's 1 for 1? how in the fuck are you going to legislate and enforce this? make every organization pay women and men the exact same? no matter what the job? THE FUCKING WHITE HOUSE CAN'T EVEN DO IT. and you're asking everyone else to?

better than the Obama administration is doing. start with them first OK? once he fixes it, then you can talk to us about this.
According to a report published by the Washington Free Beacon in April, the 2011 annual report on White House staffers revealed that the median annual salary for female White House employees was 18% less than male employees — $60,000 compared with $71,000.

Bernie Sanders: Woman 'fantasizes being raped'

Democratic presidential candidate Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders once penned an essay claiming that men fantasize about abusing women and women fantasize about being raped.
It's not exactly what you'd expect from the far Left candidate whose campaign runs on the idea of equality for all Americans.
The 1972 article "Man — and Woman," published in the Vermont Freeman, displays Sanders' views on gender and sexuality at the time of its publishing.
"A man goes home and masturbates his typical fantasy," wrote Sanders. "A woman on her knees, a woman tied up, a woman abused."
When in comes to female fantasies, Bernie also knows all.
"A woman enjoys intercourse with her man — as she fantasizes being raped by three men simultaneously," the essay reads.
His controversial views of male and female sexuality have little explanation, other than he was a part of a radical hippie movement back in his younger years.
The essay was written and published after Sanders launched his first bid for the Senate in 1972, the first of four losing campaigns for U.S. Senate and then governor. He was then elected mayor of Burlington in 1981.
When Sanders first ran for office the year "Man — and Woman" was published, he was anti-war, a proponent of guaranteeing a livable minimum wage, cracking down on big corporations and legalizing drugs.

"A man goes home and masturbates his typical fantasy," wrote Sanders. "A woman on her knees, a woman tied up, a woman abused."
When in comes to female fantasies, Bernie also knows all.
"A woman enjoys intercourse with her man — as she fantasizes being raped by three men simultaneously," the essay reads.
His controversial views of male and female sexuality have little explanation, other than he was a part of a radical hippie movement back in his younger years.
The essay was written and published after Sanders launched his first bid for the Senate in 1972, the first of four losing campaigns for U.S. Senate and then governor. He was then elected mayor of Burlington in 1981.
When Sanders first ran for office the year "Man — and Woman" was published, he was anti-war, a proponent of guaranteeing a livable minimum wage, cracking down on big corporations and legalizing drugs.

Democratic presidential candidate Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders once penned an essay claiming that men fantasize about abusing women and women fantasize about being raped.

Dem lawmaker apologizes for crude remark about Kellyanne Conway
By Samuel Chamberlain
Published March 05, 2017
FoxNews.com
A Democratic congressman apologized Sunday for a joke he made about a controversial photo featuring Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway.
Cedric Richmond, a Louisiana Democrat and chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, made the remark at the Washington Press Club Foundation's congressional dinner Wednesday evening. During his speech, Richmond referenced a controversial photo showing Conway kneeling on an Oval Office couch during a gathering.
“But I really just want to know what was going on there, because, I won't tell anybody,” Richmond said. “And you can just explain to me that — that circumstance, because she really looked kind of familiar there in that position there. But don't answer. And I don't want you to refer back to the '90s.”
Richmond initially denied he said anything inappropriate, but to others the remark recalled the Monica Lewinsky scandal, which had briefly been mentioned by the prior speaker, Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C.
On Thursday, Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel urged Richmond to apologize for the comments, which she called "disgusting" and "offensive."
"A snarky joke for you is just a reminder of the demeaning comments women hear every single day," Romney McDaniel said. "And trust me, it happens to all women."
Richmond said he decided to apologize "after a discussion with people I know and trust" and said he understood "the way my remarks have been received by many."
"I have consistently been a champion for women and women’s issues, and because of that the last thing I would want to ever do is utter words that would hurt or demean them," his statement said. "I apologize to Kellyanne Conway and everyone who has found my comments to be offensive."

Sarah Huckabee Sanders called "butch queen" by Daily Beast writer and the left is silent
By Todd Starnes
Published July 24, 2017
Fox News
Even the “Mean Girls” weren’t this mean.
Just moments after President Trump promoted Sarah Huckabee Sanders to the role of White House press secretary, she was attacked by a swarm of woman-hating liberals.
Click here for a free subscription to Todd’s newsletter: a must-read for Conservatives!
First, the propagandists at The New York Times and MSNBC questioned Sanders’ character and called her a liar, but now journalists are attacking her physical appearance.
Ira Madison, III, of The Daily Beast, likened Sanders to a drag queen in a hateful posting on Twitter.
“Butch queen first time in drags at ball,” he tweeted to his followers – along with a photograph of the press secretary.
Madison is the same “journalist” who cracked a racially-charged “joke” about Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ Asian-American granddaughter during his confirmation hearings. His tweet implied Sessions had borrowed her from a Toys-R-Us store so that he could use her as a political prop. Madison later apologized and deleted the tweet.
And he also penned a disgusting attack on Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson – wondering if his rule in the Trump White House was going to be “house or field.”
Hollywood was especially unkind to Sanders.
“I fetl like Sarah Huckabee Sanders left and right eye switched places or something,” comedian Akliah Hughes wrote on Twitter.
“Sarah Huckabee Sanders looks like every woman eating lobster on a cruise ship,” “Family Guy” writer Damien Fahey tweeted.

Could you imagine the hellfire and brimstone that would’ve rained down had a journalist or comedian made similar remarks about former first lady Michelle Obama?
The outrage over the attacks on Sanders has been limited to a few conservative publications and this column.
There has been no outcry from the feminist movement or female news commentators or enlightened liberals.
It’s as if the “Nasty Woman” crowd pulled their “p---y” hats over their eyes and ears – hoping to tune out the anti-woman hate spewing from the left.
The same thing happened when “Saturday Night Live” skewered her in a deplorable body-shaming sketch.
Meanwhile, the mainstream media spent the weekend attacking the newly-appointed White House communications director for what they perceived to be sexist comments directed at Sanders.
Anthony Scaramucci told CNN’s Jake Tapper that he’s only asked one thing of Sanders.
“Sarah, if you’re watching,” he said, “I love the hair and makeup person that we had on Friday, so I’d like to continue to use the hair and makeup person.”
Critics pounced and accused Scaramucci of making comments regarding Sanders’ personal appearance. That was clearly not the case – but it did not seem to matter to the mainstream media.
His comment generated headlines in the Washington Post, The Hill, Newsweek and the list goes on and on and on.
And yet those same news outlets ignored The Daily Beast smear. It’s the kind of double standard conservative women have come to expect from the mainstream media.
Kellyanne Conway offered some sound advice to Sanders on Sunday – suggesting she ignore the “jackals and hyenas” attacking her.

Some might call Madison a thug or a bully or a small-handed guttersnipe who gets his jollies by smacking around women with cheap, misogynistic words.
And they would not be incorrect.
But if it’s all the same – I’ll just call him a sexist pig.

Five women accuse journalist and 'Game Change' co-author Mark Halperin of sexual harassment
by Oliver Darcy @oliverdarcy
October 26, 2017: 8:03 AM ET
mark halperin
Veteran journalist Mark Halperin sexually harassed women while he was in a powerful position at ABC News, according to five women who shared their previously undisclosed accounts with CNN and others who did not experience the alleged harassment personally, but were aware of it.
"During this period, I did pursue relationships with women that I worked with, including some junior to me," Halperin said in a statement to CNN Wednesday night. "I now understand from these accounts that my behavior was inappropriate and caused others pain. For that, I am deeply sorry and I apologize. Under the circumstances, I'm going to take a step back from my day-to-day work while I properly deal with this situation."
MSNBC, where Halperin makes frequent appearances on "Morning Joe," said early Thursday that Halperin would leave his roles at that network and as an analyst at NBC News.
"We find the story and the allegations very troubling," MSNBC said in a statement. "Mark Halperin is leaving his role as a contributor until the questions around his past conduct are fully understood."
Widely considered to be one of the preeminent political journalists, Halperin, 52, has, among other career highlights, been political director at ABC News; co-authored the bestselling book "Game Change," which was made into an HBO movie starring Julianne Moore as Sarah Palin; and anchored a television show on Bloomberg TV. He is featured in Showtime's "The Circus," a show that chronicled the 2016 campaign cycle and the early days of the Trump presidency, and has a project in development with HBO, which, like CNN, is owned by Time Warner.

But women who spoke to CNN say he also had a dark side not made public until now. The stories of harassment shared with CNN range in nature from propositioning employees for sex to kissing and grabbing one's breasts against her will. Three of the women who spoke to CNN described Halperin as, without consent, pressing an erection against their bodies while he was clothed. Halperin denies grabbing a woman's breasts and pressing his genitals against the three women.
The women who worked with Halperin and who spoke with CNN did not report to Halperin. However, Halperin made many decisions about political coverage at ABC News, and had a voice in some critical personnel decisions. None of the women have said, though, that he ever promised anything in exchange for sex, or suggested that he would retaliate against anyone.
Still, while they no longer work with him, Halperin continues to wield influence in politics and media. The women who spoke to CNN said it was for this reason that they shared their accounts on the condition of anonymity. Others also said they still feel embarrassed about what happened to them and did not want to be publicly associated with it.
"Mark left ABC News over a decade ago, and no complaints were filed during his tenure," ABC News said in a statement provided to CNN after this article was published.
The first woman told CNN she was invited to visit his office in the early 2000s, when he was political director at ABC News, to have a soda, and said that while she was there with him he forcibly kissed her and pressed his genitals against her body.
"I went up to have a soda and talk and -- he just kissed me and grabbed my boobs," the woman said. "I just froze. I didn't know what to do."
When she did make her way out of his office, the woman told a friend at ABC News what had happened. That friend told CNN she remembered the woman telling her about the incident and seeing her visibly shaken.
The second woman, another former ABC News employee, described a similar experience in his office during the 2004 campaign cycle. This woman said she was around 25 years old then, and wanted to be a "campaign off-air" -- ABC News' term for one of the reporters who travel embedded with presidential campaigns -- so she reached out to Halperin, who was a part of the decision-making process regarding those assignments at the time.
"The first meeting I ever had with him was in his office and he just came up from behind -- I was sitting in a chair from across his desk -- and he came up behind me and [while he was clothed] he pressed his body on mine, his penis, on my shoulder," this woman told CNN. "I was obviously completely shocked. I can't even remember how I got out of there -- [but] I got out of there and was freaked out by that whole experience. Given I was so young and new I wasn't sure if that was the sort of thing that was expected of you if you wanted something from a male figure in news."
The woman said Halperin continued to express a sexual desire for her in subsequent visits, despite being rebuffed.
"It was more like him coming up too close to me and sort of along the lines of hugging me," she explained.
She also alleged that Halperin propositioned her for sex on the campaign trail.
"He would say, 'Why don't you meet me upstairs?' And I would say, 'That's not a good idea.' And he would push the request further," the person said. "Eventually I would just ignore him and go about my business."
One of the woman's friends has told CNN that the woman told her about the first incident, in Halperin's office. She said her friend had told her some time after the incident that Halperin had pressed his genitals against her while she was seated in his office, but did not recall being told about unwanted touching during subsequent visits or the alleged propositions for sex.
A third woman, also a former ABC News employee, told CNN she was on the road with Halperin when he propositioned her.
"I excused myself to go to the bathroom and he was standing there when I opened the door propositioning [me] to go into the other bathroom to do something," she said. "It freaked me out. I came out of the ladies' room and he was just standing there. Like almost blocking the door."
A fourth woman who worked with Halperin and was junior to him told CNN he once asked her late at night on the campaign trail to go up to his hotel room with him, and that she believed him to be propositioning her. She declined.
The fifth woman who spoke to CNN was not an ABC News employee at the time of the incident she alleges. She was not comfortable sharing specifics of her story for publication, but said Halperin, while clothed, placed his erect penis against her body without consent.
The women who spoke to CNN said that they did not report Halperin's behavior to management either because they feared retribution, given the level of power Halperin had at ABC and in the industry, or because they were embarrassed. In some cases, their fear of him and the sway he holds remains to this day.
The woman in the first account, however, said she told a mentor at ABC News who said he wanted to escalate the issue to management. It is unclear if that ever occurred.
CNN's investigation found that Halperin allegedly exhibited this type of behavior from the 1990s to the mid-2000s. CNN has not learned of any incidents after Halperin left ABC News.
Halperin joined ABC News in the late 1980s. In 1997 Halperin was named political director of ABC News, and rose to prominence with the advent of The Note, a morning digest newsletter previewing the day in politics. The Note became a must-read for industry professionals, and it catapulted him to the upper echelons of the political scene.
Halperin left ABC News in 2007 for Time magazine and joined Bloomberg in 2014 for a reported salary of $1 million. At Bloomberg, he co-anchored "With All Due Respect" with journalist John Heilemann. The show was simulcast on MSNBC for a period.
Halperin also found great success writing books. In 2010, he co-authored "Game Change" with Heilemann. The duo later published "Double Down: Game Change 2012," reportedly receiving a multi-million dollar advance. Halperin and Heilemann are currently working on a third installment about the 2016 election.
"For the last 11 years, I have had to watch this guy find success in every other news organization," one of the women who said she experienced harassment told CNN.
The allegations against Halperin come weeks after Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein was first publicly accused of sexual harassment and assault -- allegations that have prompted multiple police departments to launch investigations, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts to expel him, and his firing from the company he co-founded. (Weinstein denies all allegations of non-consensual acts.)
While the allegations against Halperin do not mirror the allegations against Weinstein, the fact that the women who spoke with CNN have chosen to do so now does reflect the larger discussion in entertainment, media, politics and other industries since the Weinstein scandal began. Women -- and men -- are talking about things that have long been rumored but have never been brought to light. Some people are feeling emboldened to tell those stories now. Others are looking back and regretting the things they didn't do.
One person who formerly worked with Halperin told CNN that while they were not aware of the extent of the alleged harassment, they believe they had heard enough to warrant reporting the whispers to management.
"In retrospect, I was such a coward," the person said. "I wish I said something. I wish I had done something."

NPR’s Michael Oreskes Is Fifth Member of Elite Media Accused of Sexual Misconduct
(http://media.breitbart.com/media/2017/11/MichaelOreskes3-640x480.jpg)
AP/Ed Andrieski
by JOHN NOLTE1 Nov 2017
Michael Oreskes, a big shot for decades within the left-wing media elite, has been placed on indefinite leave by NPR over allegations of sexual misconduct. This makes him the fifth member of the elite media to face such accusation in a little under a month.
Two women filed separate complaints against Oreskes that allege disturbingly similar behavior — that sometime in the 1990s, while Oreskes worked as the Washington bureau chief at the left-wing New York Times, he abruptly kissed them and stuck his tongue in their mouths. Both say this happened during discussions with the powerful editor about the possibility of working at the Times.
The 63-year-old Oreskes has also served as senior managing editor for the Associated Press. He joined NPR as a senior vice president and editorial director in 2015.
The left-wing Washington Post spoke to both women, who wish to remain anonymous, and one alleges his disturbing behavior went above and beyond the unwanted kiss. There was also a bizarre personal ad and an offer of a “room service” lunch.
[S ]he said, he took out a personal ad in the Washington City Paper aimed at her. It read: “Saw you at the Army-Navy Building. Loved hearing your life story and your ideas. Hope you get this message. Let me know.”
She recounted that a week later, he emailed her to ask why she hadn’t responded to his ad. The woman said she was unaware of it and had to search for it. “What was especially creepy about it was that he put it in the wrong place in the paper,” she said in an interview. Instead of appearing in the “Missed Connections” section, the ad was in a section called “Adult Services” that featured thinly disguised offers of prostitution.
Thereafter, she said, Oreskes invited her to have lunch in a room at the Watergate Hotel, catered by room service. She declined the offer
In both cases, Oreskes appears to be using the promise of employment as a means to keep these women on the hook.
Since 1989, Oreskes has been married to reporter Geraldine Baum.
On top of NBC’s Mark Halperin, Rolling Stone’s Matt Taibbi, and The New Republic’s Hamilton Fish and Leon Wieseltier, Oreskes is now the fifth member of the elite media in a month to be accused of sexual misconduct.

NPR’s Oreskes resigns following sexual harassment claims
Current ^ | Nov 1st 2017
Posted on 11/1/2017, 2:05:35 PM by Drango
Michael Oreskes resigned Wednesday, a day after the Washington Post published accounts by two women who said Oreskes had made unwanted physical advances on them in the 1990s.
“This morning I asked Mike Oreskes for his resignation because of inappropriate behavior,” CEO Jarl Mohn said in an all-staff memo obtained by Current and confirmed by NPR. “I have received his resignation, effective immediately.”
In a statement quoted by The Associated Press Wednesday, Oreskes said “my behavior was wrong and inexcusable, and I accept full responsibility.”
NPR put Oreskes on leave Tuesday following the Post’s report. David Folkenflik, NPR media correspondent, also reported that NPR producer Rebecca Hersher filed a formal complaint in October 2015 about an incident with Oreskes.
Chris Turpin, VP of News Programming and Operations, will lead the newsroom on an interim basis, Mohn said.
The memo continued:
Some have asked me if it took published news reports for us to take action. The answer is that it did not. We have been acting. Some of the steps we took were visible and others weren’t. We have a process in place and we followed that process.
I know people have asked for more details. The only way to encourage staff to come forward with any issues is to promise their concerns will remain confidential. That constrains us from providing details about personnel matters.
When anyone, but particularly someone in power, violates a policy, acts in ways that are inappropriate, or takes steps that do not contribute to building a positive workplace, it breaks a trust. That trust is about looking out for each other, doing the right thing, and acting as one team. It is sacred to me. I am committed to rebuilding trust, and my leadership team is as well.
NPR hired Oreskes in April 2015 as its SVP of news and editorial director. He was previously VP and senior managing editor at The Associated Press.

Blackburn: We're Going to Release Names of Congressmen Who Used 'Hush Fund'
Townhall.com ^ | November 30, 2017 | Cortney O'Brien
Posted on 11/30/2017, 1:05:33 PM by Kaslin
Americans were rightfully outraged when they learned that members of Congress had used taxpayer dollars to pay settlement claims to alleged victims of sexual harassment.
They were even more outraged when they saw the numbers. The secret payouts for harassment claims, of which there have been more than 200, amounted to more than $17 million. There's no telling so far how much of that money went to silence sexual assault accusers.
Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) is seeking to release the names of lawmakers who used this "hush fund." She's a co-sponsor of the Congressional Accountability and Hush Fund Elimination Act, which would require full disclosure of the settlements within 30 days.
Using taxpayer dollars to settle sexual harassment claims against members of Congress is disgusting. We're going to release the names of those who used this hush fund, and these individuals will pay this money back to the American people with interest. https://t.co/Wloe8uw0QT— Marsha Blackburn (@MarshaBlackburn) November 30, 2017
"Like most of my colleagues, I was completely disgusted to find out about this," Blackburn said.
When claims are presented, she explained, the names are anonymous.
"Let's bring the sunshine in," Blackburn offered. "Let's bring some transparency and accountability."
"These have been personal bailouts," she added. "Let's end this."
It's a bipartisan effort, with Rep. Tulsi Gubbard (D-HI) one of the Democrats on board.
“Enough is enough,” Hawaii Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, one of the bill’s sponsors, said. “For far too long sexual predators have roamed freely through the halls of Congress -- the people’s house -- while survivors of sexual harassment and assault have essentially been isolated, bullied and shamed into silence.”
In addition to unmasking the lawmakers who used the hush fund, the bipartisan bill will mandate that taxpayers get their money back - "with interest," says Blackburn.
Lawmakers are introducing other pieces of legislation intended to combat a culture of sexual abuse on Capitol Hill. On Wednesday, Congress passed a bill requiring members to participate in anti-harassment training.

Oh My: Democratic Rep Suggests John Conyers Accusers Shouldn't Be Believed Because They're White
Townhall.com ^ | November 30, 2017 | Matt Vespa
Posted on 11/30/2017, 1:35:28 PM by Kaslin
We didn’t go there, did we? I mean seriously? Did Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC), the third ranking member of the House Democratic Caucus, pretty much insinuate that the accusations against Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) shouldn’t be believed because the accusers are white? Conyers is under fire for sexual misconduct. In 2015, he settled a sexual harassment claim to the tune of $27,000 in taxpayer money. Melanie Sloan, a Washington lawyer, claimed to be the subject of verbal abuse by Conyers, even walking into his office to have the Michigan Democrat half-dressed. She has not alleged any sexual harassment, but Deanna Maher, Conyers’ former deputy chief of staff, is a separate story (via Detroit Free Press) [emphasis mine]
Deanna Maher, who worked for him from 1997 to 2005, told The Detroit News that the Detroit Democrat made unwanted advances toward her three times.
[…]
The first instance of harassment happened, Maher said, shortly after the congressman hired her in September 1997 during an event with the Congressional Black Caucus.
“I didn’t have a room, and he had me put in his hotel suite,” said Maher, 77, adding that she rejected his offer to share his room at the Grand Hyatt in Washington and have sex.
The other incidents with the now 88-year-old Conyers involved unwanted touching in a car in 1998 and another unwanted touching of her legs under her dress in 1999, she said.
Conyers’ attorney Arnold Reed questioned why Maher would continue to work for Conyers for so many years after the alleged incidents. He also said Maher’s allegations are uncorroborated and that his client denies wrongdoing.
“At the end of the day, he’s confident that he will be exonerated because he maintains that he has not done anything wrong,” Reed said.
Maher said her need for employment explains why she stayed on the job.
Clyburn has already made controversial statement about Conyers’ sexual misconduct allegations, saying that they could all be made up. Yet, the House Assistant Democratic Leader seemed to have stepped on a rake by suggesting the accusers against Conyers, who are white, shouldn’t be believed because of Susan Smith, a disturbed South Carolina woman who was convicted of drowning her sons back in 1995; Smith lied to authorities by saying a black man carjacked her vehicle and kidnapped her children. Yeah, it’s a rather shaky defense of Conyers. Also, we’re really going to invoke race into this?
Also at this morning's House Democratic caucus: James Clyburn compared Conyers' accusers to the child murderer Susan Smith, who initially claimed a black man had abducted her kids. Clyburn said, these are all white women who've made these charges against Conyers.— Robert Draper (@DraperRobert) November 29, 2017
Yes, according to 2 sources. One told me Clyburn has used the Susan Smith parallel more than once, to members & staffers. https://t.co/3SjKCzjBh8— Robert Draper (@DraperRobert) November 29, 2017
Alex Moe of NBC News also posted a video of reporters asking Congressional Black Caucus chair Rep. Cedric Richmond (D-LA) and Clyburn about why Conyers hasn’t stepped down when men from other industries who have been accused o such conduct have been removed or taken their exits in kind. Richmond asked for examples, to which the press replied Harvey Weinstein, Charlie Rose, and Matt Lauer.” Clyburn responded with “who elected them?”
CBC Chair Richmond asks for ex. of ppl leaving jobs faster than Conyers when face sexual harassment claims; Clyburn asks "who elected them?" pic.twitter.com/FGDNbvBUcg— Alex Moe (@AlexNBCNews) November 29, 2017
Robert Draper of The New York Times Magazine and National Geographic tweeted about the Smith remarks, which was criticized by Clyburn as being inaccurate, but two sources confirmed to Draper that Clyburn was making this analogy, and the Congressional Black Caucus also confirmed this as well. Clyburn also tried to do some damage control for who “who elected them?” remarks, which gave the impression that members of the Hill play by a separate set of rule when it comes to sexual misconduct (via The State):
“So it’s different because he’s elected,” but the elevator doors closed before Clyburn might have responded.
But after 5 p.m., Clyburn posted his official statement regarding a House Resolution that read very differently than the flippant response to reporters in the halls of the Capitol.
“As elected officials, we ought to be held to a higher standard,” Clyburn said in his statement. “Congress must review and improve the current administrative procedure for victims to come forward. All harassment and discrimination allegations must be taken seriously.”
This might have been in response to the criticism leveled at Clyburn.
Many comments critical of Clyburn have been posted on social media. Among them, people are questioning his logic, asking him to resign – in delicate and powerful terms – and calling him a poor representative of South Carolina.
A writer for The New York Times Magazine and National Geographic tweeted that Clyburn invoked the name of Susan Smith, South Carolina’s infamous child murderer, in his defense of Conyers.
“James Clyburn compared Conyers’ accusers to the child murderer Susan Smith, who initially claimed a black man had abducted her kids. Clyburn said, these are all white women who’ve made these charges against Conyers,” Robert Draper tweeted.
When asked if that comment was true, Draper said he verified it through two sources, adding “Clyburn has used the Susan Smith parallel more than once, to members & staffers.”
[…]
The Congressional Black Caucus tweeted about the alleged Susan Smith comment, saying Clyburn “used the Smith example to illustrate the dangers of convicting people before getting all the facts.”
Let’s circle back to the Smith example. Why? Wouldn’t it have been easier to say we have to get all the fact and let the system of due process work here? Of course, it would—but that hasn’t been the party line. Remember the reforms to Title IX Education Secretary Betsy DeVos brought forward on this subject. It placed an emphasis on due process. The Left went ballistic.
“On too many campuses, a new attitude about due process — and the right to be presumed innocent until proved guilty — has taken hold,” wrote The Atlantic’s Emily Yoffe.
Now, because Conyers and Sen. Al Franken (D-MN), who is in hot water for forcibly kissing, groping, and grabbing the rear ends of multiple women, are in the crosshairs, due process is what’s needed? Yeah—this come to Jesus moment on this is crap. We all know it’s borne out of political climate. Yet, it also sends a message that it’s okay to harass women, as long as you’re a liberal Democrat. The Bill Clinton protocol is still in effect. For Clyburn, well, he decided to rip a rather odd and somewhat extraneous example to defend Conyers: a disturbed white woman who told a lie to police about a black man carjacking her. Ms. Maher and Ms. Sloan are not mentally ill. And yes, they’re white. So what? That in itself doesn’t make it any less credible. I don’t think identity politics is going to save your pals, Clyburn. This was a stupid remark to make, not matter what the intention.

Georgetown adviser resigns after #metoo tweet appearing to wish conservative woman experience sex abuse
Caleb Parke By Caleb Parke | Fox News
A Georgetown University adviser came under fire after appearing to wish a conservative female commentator the experience of sexual harassment or assault, telling the woman he hoped she would have her own “#metoo moment.”
Jeffrey Bernstein, who was a Master of Foreign Service advisory board member at Georgetown, resigned from his post after he got into a heated Twitter exchange with CRTV host Allie Stuckey, who said the #metoo social media movement to expose systemic sex abuse was a symptom of a broken world, not a broken legal system.
“Wishing you a #metoo movement,” Bernstein tweeted on Saturday. “Maybe then you won’t be so insensitive.”
Stuckey immediately fired back. She tweeted Georgetown a screenshot of his tweet and wrote: “Someone on your MSFS board just told me he hopes I get sexually harassed or assaulted…Is this the kind of standard your university holds for your advisers?”
On Monday morning, Georgetown Dean Joel Hellman released a statement saying Bernstein had cut ties with the university.

“We appreciate Mr. Bernstein's efforts to apologize for recent comments deeply inconsistent with our values and mission and have accepted his resignation from the MSFS Board of Advisers,” Hellman said. “MSFS will continue its dedication to preparing women and men for leadership roles in global affairs.”
Bernstein, who was also managing director at Solebury Capital, was then fired from his position at the equity advisory firm.
“We learned about Mr. Bernstein’s conduct last evening and immediately investigated the matter,” a company spokeswoman wrote to Fox News in a statement. “Based on that review, we promptly terminated his employment with Solebury.”
Bernstein apologized multiple times before he deleted his social media accounts.
“I apologize for making a stupid and insensitive comment. I would never wish harm on anyone and apologized to Allie repeatedly,” Bernstein said. “I feel terribly. I have been a continuous voice against gender bias. As a father of three, I am embarrassed and this is a lesson for me that words have power.”
Stuckey told Campus Reform she believes his apology was sincere, but only after he had been "dragged through the mud.”

Self-proclaimed feminist stars keep attacking Sarah Sanders for her looks
By Sasha Savitsky | Fox News
Cher slams Sarah Sanders' fashion style
Iconic singer Cher made fun of White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders' fashion choices on Twitter comparing Sanders to a "sister wife." Defenders were quick to call Cher out, claiming she was hypocritical for bullying another woman.
Hollywood women have banded together like never before on issues including pay inequality and sexual harassment, declaring that women all over the world need to stick together and be supportive of one another. But experts say several stars aren't practicing what they preach when it comes to Donald Trump's press secretary, Sarah Sanders.
Self-proclaimed activist Chelsea Handler wrote in an op-ed for Thrive in Dec. 2016: "Let's stop it with the dialogue about how women look or what they wear, or if they've gained or lost weight. We are more guilty of this with each other than most men are."
Cher has often spoken out about the sexualization of women, declaring at the Women's March on Jan. 20 that she "believe[s ] in this movement."
But both stars recently attacked Sanders solely over her looks.
Cher tweeted to Sanders on Tuesday to "stop dressing like a sister wife." After fans slammed Cher for the hurtful tweet, she followed up by admitting it was "kinda mean" but "so funny."

Handler has gone even further than Cher by mocking Sanders' "summer whore lipstick" and calling her a "harlot" on her Netflix show. Comedian Fortune Feimster even wore exaggerated makeup to play Sanders for a skit on Handler's now-defunct series.

And "Saturday Night Live" took a similar swipe at the press secretary's outfits by putting the show's Sanders character in a revealing outfit to dance provocatively to a pop song in a November 2017 episode.

The show has also dressed the Sanders character, played by Aidy Bryant, in a bright pink dress to mock the press secretary's frequent color choice.
Penny Nance, President and CEO of Concerned Women for America, told Fox News Cher's recent insults proves Hollywood feminists don't play by their own rules when it comes to conservative women.
"Cher's attack on Sarah is yet another example of how liberal women in all types of powerful positions stand up for only those women who adhere to their ideology," Nance told Fox News. "If you're a conservative woman, prepare to be thrown out of the feminist tent. Their message is that some women will be supported. That some women will be empowered. That some women will [be] trusted. But they don't support all women and especially those of us who support life."
"They don't just attack her for being conservative. They dare to treat her as if she's not a woman"
- Dan Gainor, Media Research Center
Dan Gainor, vice president of business and culture at the Media Research Center, echoed Nance's comments adding that the recent attacks on Sanders' looks are "especially offensive."
"They don't just attack her for being conservative. They dare to treat her as if she's not a woman. They blast her clothes and say she dresses like a 'sister wife,'" Gainor said. "...Chelsea Handler called her a 'harlot' with 'summer whore lipstick.' And these are women doing this. Imagine the media outrage if conservatives dared to treat a liberal woman with such disgust."
He added, "Liberals hate anyone who doesn't side with them."

Branding and public relations expert Scott Pinsker told Fox News these stars are hurting their brands by attacking Trump's press secretary.
"An awful lot of women in America look more like Sarah Sanders than the Hollywood starlets who are bashing Trump and his supporters on all the award shows," Pinsker explained. "If you want to disagree with Ms. Sanders' political positions, that's perfectly legitimate, but mocking her for being normal-looking isn't exactly empowering to women."

'Monstrous'? Why Does Jim Carrey Need to Be So Mean to Sarah Sanders?
By Tim Graham | March 21, 2018
Jim Carrey is under fire on social media for an unflattering portrait he painted of White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.The very rich big-screen actor and comedian tweeted his Sanders painting on Saturday with the caption: "This is the portrait of a so-called Christian whose only purpose in life is to lie for the wicked. Monstrous!"
It didn't take long for former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, the press secretary's dad, to respond in kind on Twitter: “Pathetic BULLY, sexist, hater, bigot & ‘Christaphobe’ @jimcarrey attacks @PressSec for her faith; what would be hypocritical Hollywood reaction if he called someone a ‘so-called Muslim’ or ‘so-called Jew?’ #classlessCarrey”.
Michelle Malkin didn't mince words, either: "When you want to know what a desiccated soul looks like, or what happens to a Hollyweirdo's brain when it's addled by political derangement and misogyny, look at @JimCarrey."
Carrey has said he started painting as a way to deal with his split with actress Jenny McCarthy. He's known now for using this art to attack President Trump and other Republicans. One featured Rep. Trey Gowdy as a rat leaving a sinking ship "Swim Willard! SWIM!
The movie star tweeted his first political cartoon in August 2017, showing President Trump sailing on a sea of “lies” and asking “WHAT WILL IT TAKE for the GOP to throw this madman overboard?”

CNN's April Ryan hit for saying Melania Trump is 'not culturally American'
By Brian Flood | Fox News
CNN contributor April Ryan said first lady Melania Trump is "not culturally American” during an appearance on “OutFront.”
Critics are slamming CNN contributor April Ryan for suggesting that First Lady Melania Trump is "not culturally American" when discussing the “Be Best” campaign to combat cyberbullying on Monday night.
“This is a first lady who is not culturally American, but she is learning the ways and this is not just an American issue. These are not just American issues,” Ryan told “OutFront” host Erin Burnett. “These are international issues. Cyberbullying is an international issue. Social media is international and also the opioid addiction issue, so it’s not just here, but it’s abroad as well.”
CNN did not respond to a request for clarification.
The first lady was born in Slovenia but has been an American citizen since 2006 and has lived in the country since 1996.
NewsBusters Managing Editor Curtis Houck told Fox News that “Ryan showing that she's anything but a journalist” and is more of a liberal advocate.
“Her comments are absurd considering how long the first lady has lived in this country,” Houck said. “Regardless of one's views of the president, the first lady is an example of 'Only in America' could this be possible.”
This isn’t the first time Ryan has caused a stir and Houck said her “comments about the president and behavior in the briefing room show Trump Derangement Syndrome in full force.”
Conservative commentator Carmine Sabia told Fox News that he remembers “when people were called racist” for saying the same thing about President Barack Obama.
“I also remember people like April Ryan saying that we are a nation of immigrants. This is racism and reprehensible and she should be ashamed,” Sabia said.
Conservative commentator Glenn Beck agrees and took to Twitter to blast Ryan for the comment.
“April Ryan - I know when some said that Obama wasn’t fully ‘culturally American’ reporters cried racism. Now that you, a reporter, are saying the same, can they cry racism? Or do you just hate foreigners? Wow, this is easy, I see why the left likes it,” Beck wrote.
White House Director of Strategic Response Steven Cheung wrote, “What does that even mean? On a day when Mrs. Trump unveiled a very important initiative #BeBest, reporters can't bring themselves to talk about anything but rumors and innuendo.”
Ryan twisted Sarah Sanders' words on Thursday night in order to make the absurd suggestion that the White House press secretary is looking for a physical confrontation with the star reporter.
After Ryan asked a combative question during Thursday’s press briefing, accusing Sanders of being "blindsided" by comments Rudy Giuliani recently made on Fox News, Sanders told Ryan, “Well, with all due respect, you actually don’t know much about me in terms of what I feel and what I don't.”
Ryan misquoted Sanders while speaking to CNN colleague Don Lemon on-air afterwards, claiming the press secretary said, “You don’t know me,” before declaring the phrase to be fighting words.
“For Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the presidential spokesperson, the mouthpiece for the President of the United States, to say, ‘You don’t know me,’ in certain quarters in this nation, that starts a physical fight,” Ryan said. “I was very shocked. It was street. I will even go beyond that, it was gutter.”
Ryan also famously accused Sanders of lying about whether or not she baked a pie for Thanksgiving.

so... if I understand this correctly, Republicans aren't against mistreating women, therefore when they do it, they aren't hypocrites. Liberals on the other hand, are by and large against mistreating women, so when they do, it is worse than the Republicans mistreatment. Is that about right?

No. Liberals accuse conservatives and Republicans of a "war on women." I think it was huffingtonpost that even had a subject heading called "war on women."

Like I was saying, pretending or presenting one group to be superior to the other in that area seems a bit partisan. I don't know any regular citizen Republican or Democrat that thinks either party has a monopoly on treating women better or worse, or in general being more ethical.

If you actually pay attention, including to the links you provided, Republicans are responding to Democrats' hypocritical claims of a war on women.
Like I said, your sample size is too small. I interact with numerous people all over the country and discuss politics with them. "War on Women" is a Democrat theme. I don't expect you to understand or acknowledge this, but for anyone else who is openminded and might read this, what I've said is fact.
Also, what you liberals always do when confronted with liberal bad behavior is trot out the "well they all do it" line. Incredibly weak.

Spitzer, Weiner, Schneiderman: a bunch of power-hungry perverts

Spitzer, Weiner, Schneiderman: a bunch of power-hungry perverts

In the beginning there was Eliot, who was followed by Anthony, and now there is Eric — each in his day a superstar rising, and each now irrevocably framed in the rearview mirror of New York politics.
Blame hubris. Blame hormones. Blame the New York way — which attracts and rewards uncommonly arrogant, power-mongering overachievers who lack both boundaries and simple common sense.
Eliot Spitzer, as attorney general, stretched law and custom to terrorize Wall Street; he rode that overreach into Albany’s executive chamber — then hid bank transactions to pay a hooker, got caught and left public life in disgrace.
Anthony Weiner was a congressman, a job he meant only to pave the way to an inevitable arrival at Gracie Mansion. But he began exposing himself on the internet, sometimes to children, and today he’s in prison.
Eric Schneiderman, the now-former attorney general, transformed that office into a hyperactive, extra-official ideological enforcement agency, earning unbounded progressive applause along the way — even as he was beating women in private. Schneiderman denies the charges — leveled in The New Yorker — but they are credible, and he is now a private citizen for the first time since 2003.
The end came swiftly for the Upper West Side liberal luminary — he quit scarcely three hours after the magazine detailed the particulars — and who’s to doubt that this all came as a profound shock to him. Perhaps not the substance of the charges, of course — but certainly the accountability.
New York pols aren’t used to answering for their excesses. Yes, the occasional Preet Bharara lumbers along with halting attempts to enforce the criminal codes — with decidedly mixed results. (Still, thank goodness for the effort.)
But apart from the outrageous and egregious — stand up, Anthony Weiner! — high-ranking New York pols generally offend against the spirit of the law, not the letter.

Eliot Spitzer’s Sheriff of Wall Street schtick — he bludgeoned targets into submission, rarely gaining actual convictions — was a highly personal abuse of power. It was outside of all previous understanding of the limits if his office, it was solely intended to make him governor — and it worked.
Eric Schneiderman used Spitzer’s template as a starting point — suing corporate America for personal political gain and in the end all but declaring legal war on the Trump administration. He too was a serial abuser of power, as well as of women, but who is to doubt that he would have become governor as well? Save for #MeToo?
Such things happen in one-party, low-voter-turnout political environments. While violations of the penal code can attract attention — witness the stream of thieving state legislators entering prison over the past decade — there is no natural check on those who do violence to the spirit of democratic self-government. To the rule of law.
Worse than that, New York voters love it. Both Spitzer and Schneiderman were wildly popular incumbents. And Weiner was well on his way to becoming mayor in 2013 until he flashed his iPhone one more time and started calling himself Carlos Danger.
So no surprise, then, that sociopaths are drawn to high office in the Empire State. It’s fertile ground for those inclined to stretch the law to suit their personal interests, and who then are hailed as heroes for doing so.
Thank goodness they usually blow the whistle on themselves. For the system doesn’t much care.

MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace slammed for asking if Melania, Ivanka are 'dead inside' or 'paid off'
By Brian Flood | Fox News
MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace is under fire for making a derogatory comment Thursday about first lady Melania Trump and first daughter Ivanka, asking if they are “dead inside” or simply being “paid off.”
On her show "Deadline: White House" Wallace pondered how women close to the president cope with the ongoing allegations surrounding adult film star Stormy Daniels, who claims to have had a consensual sexual encounter with Trump over a decade ago (Trump denies the allegation).
“Are they just the most stoic human beings, are they numb, are they dead inside, are they paid off, I mean, what’s their deal?” Wallace asked.

What this guy did 40 years ago is inexcusable pretty disturbing, but I don't think it's fair to hang this over his head, particularly given him getting remarried and raising kids. Still, it does showcase liberal hypocrisy regarding this "war on women."
Man who beat his wife has no business being in Congress -- but he’s the Democratic nominee
By Lauren DeBellis Appell | Fox News
In the era of the #MeToo movement – when women who are victims of sexual misconduct and assault are courageously finding their voices – it’s absolutely mindboggling that Democrats in South Carolina nominated a candidate for the U.S. House Tuesday who was accused in divorce proceedings by his then-wife of beating her.
Although there were three others Democrats competing for their party’s nomination for the congressional seat, Democratic voters chose to nominate Archie Parnell despite 11th hour revelations surfacing that he beat his former wife in October 1973. The physical abuse only came to light in the final weeks of the campaign, causing some on his staff to walk out and prompting calls for him to drop out of the race.
According to divorce documents, Parnell was a student at the University of South Carolina when he broke a door down with a tire iron and beat his wife repeatedly, before beating her again later the same night.
Parnell has not denied the allegations.
Kathleen Parnell filed for divorce after she was attacked and got a restraining order. She said she was afraid for her life after the abuse.
Archie Parnell’s campaign manager, Yates Baroody, quit abruptly after learning the specifics of the attack revealed in the divorce documents.
"As soon as I discovered them, I immediately resigned from the campaign and advised Archie he should withdraw from the campaign immediately,” Baroody said. “He has no business running for Congress and he never did.”
The chairman of the South Carolina Democratic Party, Tray Roberson, also called on Parnell to withdraw from the race, saying his actions “though long ago, directly contradict the values of the Democratic Party."
Even so, South Carolina Democrats had no problem choosing Parnell to be their nominee, giving him a whopping 60 percent of the vote in a four-candidate field.
Parnell will face Rep. Ralph Norman, a Republican, in the Nov. 6 general election for Norman’s seat.
Democrats have long attempted to make the term “war on women” stick to Republicans like gum on the bottom of a shoe. Just do a Google search. Democrats want us to believe that Republicans started the war, President Trump is escalating it, and women and men concerned about us should be afraid – very, very afraid – of evil Republicans.
Never mind that it was Hillary Clinton who said women need their husbands to tell us how to vote, or comedian Jimmy Kimmel who mocked first lady Melania Trump’s accent on his late- night show. The first lady, by the way, is fluent in five languages.
And just recently it was comedian Samantha Bee who called Ivanka Trump a “feckless c---” on her tastefully named TBS show, “Full Frontal.” Bee later apologized for directing the vulgar sexist slur at President Trump’s daughter and senior adviser.
The war on women is definitely not coming from the White House. It’s being aimed at the White House.
To be fair, Parnell’s violent behavior, which he calls “inexcusable” and “embarrassing,” happened 45 years ago and he claims to be a changed man.
“Since then, my life has been changed by a remarkable woman, two amazing daughters, a forgiving God and a career that has taught me to cherish what I have,” Parnell said.
While Parnell may have changed, nobody really knows. Hopefully he has changed, especially now that children have entered the picture.
However, it’s disingenuous and more than a little hypocritical given the #MeToo flag-waving, for the Democrats to be so willing to hedge their bets en masse.
None other than the perpetual predator Bill Clinton himself said just the other day – in defending disgraced former Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn: “I think the norms have really changed in terms of, what you can do to somebody against their will.”
If that line ends up in a TV ad aimed at Parnell and other Democrats this fall, all the supposed hatred for President Trump may just get trumped by the Democrats’ dishonesty and public disgust at mistreatment of women by men who tell us they are our greatest supporters.

THE LAST 3 DEM GOVERNORS OF NEW YORK SEXUALLY HARASSED WOMEN
Daniel Greenfield March 22, 2021
For 20 years, Democrat sexual predators have run the state of New York.
For 13 years, the terms of the last three Democrat governors, sexual harassers have held down the office. And for 20 years, Democrat attorney generals who were sexual predators ruled.
It’s quite an achievement for a national and state party that claims to protect women.
"There is a disrespect for women that this administration chronically exemplifies. After the #MeToo movement, they did absolutely nothing when it came to sexual harassment," Governor Cuomo ranted about President Trump during the Kavanaugh nomination.
That was the same year that Cuomo had halted an investigation into Manhattan DA Cy Vance’s mishandling of the Weinstein case back in 2015, six days after Cuomo got a $25,000 check from the law firm that had represented Weinstein in 2015, which had donated $10,000 to Vance.
Vance's office had also asked a judge to reduce Jeffrey Epstein's sex offender status so low that he wouldn't be listed as a sex offender. "Can Cyrus Vance, Jr., Nail Trump?" the New Yorker recently asked. Better ask Harvey Weistein and Jeffrey Epstein about Vance’s track record.
Governor Cuomo has pivoted from condemning President Trump’s “disrespect for women” to accusing his female accusers of secretly working for Trump. The #IStandWithCuomo hashtag is being used to spread claims that Cuomo is being taken down to help President Trump.
If there’s anyone who knows how to really respect women, it’s Cuomo.
But it’s hard to complain about Cuomo sexually harassing and groping women. Let alone be surprised that Cuomo kept up the great tradition of his predecessors.
David Paterson, Cuomo's blind black predecessor, whom he ousted by digging up dirt, revealed at a press conference that he began to have an affair after his wife cheated on him. Paterson admitted to the affair, though denied having a child out of wedlock, to avoid being blackmailed.
"I think we have a marriage like many Americans, maybe even like many of you," Paterson told reporters. Considering he was addressing the media, he was probably right.
After denying that he had affairs with anyone on his staff, he eventually admitted to sleeping with a number of women, including his director of community affairs. He later reached a settlement to head off a sexual harassment lawsuit from his chief of staff whom he had allegedly hired while having an affair with her and then fired after breaking up with her.
Paterson also faced accusations of witness tampering when he called the girlfriend of a top aide after she filed a police report accusing his aide of choking her and throwing her against a mirror.
All of this was a refreshing change from his predecessor, Governor Eliot Spitzer who had picked Patterson as his Lieutenant Governor. Spitzer was forced to resign when he was caught patronizing prostitutes and allegedly used campaign funds to cover the hotel bills.
So the obvious next step was a job at CNN where his show never took off.
In what seems to be a troubling pattern with New York Democrats, one of Spitzer's prostitutes claimed that he liked choking her. The prostitute then claimed that she was pimped out by the Manhattan DA's office a few years before it was trying to keep Epstein off the sex offender list.
Spitzer had started out as the Attorney General of New York back in 1998, Cuomo took over from him in 2006, and Eric Schneiderman succeeded Cuomo in 2010.
Attorney General Eric Schneiderman was forced to resign after multiple women accused him of choking and assaulting them. One of the accusers said that Schneiderman, a progressive Democrats, kept calling her his, “brown slave”. Another claimed he had declared, “I am the law”.
Sexual predators have held the office of the Attorney General of New York for 20 years from 1998 to Schneiderman’s resignation until 2018. The current officeholder is a woman.
It’s a hell of a record.
Governor Cuomo claimed that the Trump administration “chronically exemplifies” a “disrespect for women”, but it’s New York Democrats who can’t seem to stop preying on women.
All of the New York Democrat abusers were professional feminists.
“A year before Roe v. Wade, I graduated from high school, went to Washington DC, and got a job working in an abortion clinic. I learned an important lesson at a young age. If a woman does not have the right to control her own body, she is not truly equal. She is not truly free,” Schneiderman had tweeted, while he was choking women and telling them they were slaves.
On MSNBC, Eliot Spitzer claimed that he was a feminist with a record of "devout dedication to women’s rights, on the issues of choice", and urged voters to “look at the totality of my record,” and not just the parts that allegedly involved taking away a women’s choice to breathe.
"James says I’m a feminist and she’s right," Cuomo had once boasted at a Planned Parenthood event, referring to the Attorney General now investigating him for sexual harassment. "God told me I was a feminist."
Governor Cuomo had created the Women’s Equality Party as his own platform, and had read a speech attacking President Trump, in which he declared, “As a New Yorker, I am a Muslim. I am a Jew. I am Black. I am gay. I am a woman seeking to control her body. We are one New York.”
Cuomo then went on to blame Jews for the pandemic while preventing women from being able to control their bodies with his meaty hands.
All part of the track record of the “national leader in the fight against sexual harassment.”
Democrat sexual predators were able to get away with their deranged behavior because they pretended to be feminists, and feminist leaders, celebrities, and the media were happy to help.
Planned Parenthood alone has provided cover for numerous Democrat sexual predators.
But New York is still something special. If Cuomo is toppled by his own #MeToo moment, that will mean that the last three Democrat governors were forced out of politics due to scandals.
It will also mean that three Democrat AGs were actually career sexual predators.
The media will carefully avoid connecting these dots because they peel back the mask and reveal the true face of their own political movement and the political faction at the top.
The Democrats don’t protect women. Like Bill Clinton and Joe Biden, they prey on them.

Transgender: White House to Denounce GOP Child-Protection Laws
NEIL MUNRO
29 Jun 2021
White House officials will stage an event on Wednesday to denounce the popular state bills that are being passed to protect children and athletes from pro-transgender activists, teachers, and Democrats.
The event will “highlight the hopes, joys, and success of young transgender and nonbinary people across America,” said a June 29 report from LGBTQnation.com.
But Biden “is throwing our women and girls under the bus,” responded Terry Schilling, the president of the American Principles Project. He told Breitbart News:
The fact that they are hosting an event where they are weaponizing gender-confused children against women’s rights is downright evil. I never thought I’d miss having President Obama, but at least he only sued Catholic nuns and didn’t go after all of our girls. President Biden is a disgrace.
The report said the White House will use the June 30, 7:00 p.m. event to portray the establishment-backed, lavishly-funded, media-backed, pro-transgender child activists as the victims of the GOP’s popular child protection laws.
The convening is specifically focused on transgender youth and how systemic discrimination affects their daily lives.
“Young transgender and gender nonbinary leaders from across the country will share stories about the impact that state-level anti-transgender legislation has had on their wellbeing, their experiences of multiple, intersecting forms of discrimination, and best practices for advancing acceptance and equality for transgender people,” the White House said.
Education Secretary Miguel Cardona, Assistant Secretary for Health Dr. Rachel Levine, and Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke will join Psaki along with transgender athletes and elected officials.
The report did not say the White House invited any supporters of women’s rights to speak at the event.
An increasing number of girls and women are pushing back against the transgender ideology after watching other girls and women being pushed off award podiums by males posing as women, or being forced to share cells with violent men who insist they are women.
“Similar to how you can’t be Catholic and support abortion, you can’t be a feminist and support transgender rights,” Schilling said. “The [administration’s] policies will not only put our girls’ safety in danger by putting gender-confused boys in our daughters’ showers and locker rooms but also in their sporting competitions.”
The government’s push to celebrate transgenderism among children is very unpopular — but is not being opposed by GOP leaders.
For example, a September 2020 poll of 3,500 likely voters, conducted by Spry Strategies and sponsored by the Women’s Liberation Front, showed that 54 percent of voters strongly oppose children undergoing physical sex-change surgery or taking cross-sex hormones. Just 8 percent strongly agreed.
Biden has hired many pro-transgender activists — including health official Rachel Levine — and is backing a draft law that would allow people to impose penalties on groups and organizations that do not recognize their claim to have switched sex.
He is also backing rules and regulations that would pressure schools to accept the sex-change claims by kids, and also force doctors and hospitals to provide hazardous drugs and therapies to children so young that they have not even gone through puberty.
In a presidential debate in October 2020, Biden indicated he accepted the claim that children can make lifetime medical decisions — even before puberty — and said:
The idea that an eight-year-0ld child or a ten-year-old child decides, “You know, I decided I want to be transgender. That’s what I think I’d like to be — it’ll make my life a lot easier!”
There should be zero discrimination … and so I promise you, there is no reason to suggest that there should be any right denied your daughter — or daughters, whichever, one or two, your daughter — that your other daughter has a right to be or do. None. Zero.
Joe Biden
@JoeBiden

Jan 25, 2020
United States government official
Let’s be clear: Transgender equality is the civil rights issue of our time. There is no room for compromise when it comes to basic human rights.
Numerous polls show the public wants to protect their kids from transgender activists, from medical risks, and from the social isolation ensured by a transgender identity.
GOP leaders in Congress have been largely silent about the issue, despite a roar of protest from GOP activists and a nationwide wave of protective legislation by GOP legislators. For example, the Twitter account used by GOP leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy has no mentions of “transgender.” He also did not speak in the floor debate when the Democrats’ pro-transgender bill was passed in March.
Broad and vague polls show public sympathy for the Democrats’ transgender legislation.
But detailed polls show deep and widespread rejection of transgender demands amid plenty of anecdotal evidence that many Democrats also oppose the transgender ideology. The strong opposition is fuelling support for state legislation in many states that protect children from further damage. A May 2021 Gallup poll, for example, showed 62 percent to 34 percent opposition to transgender entry into women’s sports.
Even the National Republican Senatorial Committee, run by Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL), noted that one of its April polls of Latino voters showed 51 percent strong opposition, to just 15 percent strong support, for transgender sports.

Don Lemon’s Sexist Slam Of Nikki Haley Draws Sharp Rebuke From CNN Co-Host
By Amanda Harding
Feb 16, 2023 DailyWire.com
Demoted CNN host Don Lemon should know better than to talk about “prime time” by now.
Lemon, a onetime evening host relegated to mornings after a shakeup last year at the ratings-challenged cable news network, ticked off co-host Poppy Harlow when he tried to take a shot at Nikki Haley and ended up insulting women in general. The 51-year-old Haley, in announcing Tuesday she is running for president in 2024, said Americans must turn to a new generation of leaders and reject those past their “prime.”
“This whole talk about age makes me uncomfortable,” Lemon said. “I think it’s the wrong road to go down. She says people, you know, politicians are suddenly not in their prime. Nikki Haley isn’t in her prime,” Lemon said during the broadcast. “Sorry, when a woman is in their prime [is] in [their] 20s and 30s and maybe 40s…”
“What are you talking — Wait…,” Harlow quickly interjected.
“That’s not according to me,” Lemon scrambled. When asked to clarify what he meant by prime, the CNN host replied, “It depends. It’s just like, prime. If you look it up. If you Google when is a woman in her prime, it’ll say 20s, 30s, 40s…”

To Hell with LemonAIDS and the disgusting pedo-pals of the View. Like those here who hate Mr. Trump and voted Democrat because Mr. Trump is a "meanie", they are Deviants and supporters of the sexualization and mutilation of our Nation's Children. The Democrat Party is the party of perversion.
Never forgive and never forget.

He's been fired several times so he sucks at "journalism" (or whatever it is he's doing) and is one year away from retirement age.
Meanwhile, Riley Gains is young, good looking and competed at a national level in swimming with good results.
Sounds like Olbermann, aside from his usual spiteful self, is also jealous of her.

I was taught if you have nothing nice to say nothing. Sorry mom couldn't stop myself from saying something in this case. This is no drag queen, that is for sure. Some folks either never look in the mirror or they don't have one. Who in their right mind would go out in public looking like this? What is with its legs... all beat up and those eyebrows and no wig. ::) One thing is for sure, just when I think I have seen it all, something else more outrageous comes along.

This is because in your opinion all transgendered folks look, dress, act and are alike. Do you feel this way about other groups of people, such as bodybuilders?

Do you think those 3 men are of sound mental state ?
No such thing as Trans gender - They are MEN pure & simple,
whatever they wish to pretend to be is up to them.
I don't & wont play along with their Pretence.

I don’t give a rip about those three folks nor does their mental state have any impact on my life. Maybe the luggage thief might if they stole my luggage, which is highly unlikely.
You have previously made your position on transgenderism abundantly clear. There is no need to repeat it. -Pretty sure everyone who reads your posts knows how you feel.

I hope all do know what's the difference between fact & pretence.
Why do you avoid answering ?
And again - They are MEN - Pretending.
The Pantomime Horse isn't Trans anything It's a Pretend horse, or do you
also say it's a real horse ? -
Why do you have such a huge problem with admitting they're pretending to be women?
No doubt you'll completely avoid any simple direct answers as usual ::)

Biden is trying to destroy women's sports and allow men into women's private spaces and bathrooms and locker rooms.

I'm reading through the unofficial final Title IX rule right now, and my first takeaway is that it appears to have been written entirely by TRAs. My second takeaway is that if this stands, we have permanently ended women's sports.
Third takeaway: There are First Amendment problems with this regulation that the agency repeatedly dismisses without addressing. This will be a problem for the Biden admin in litigation.
