Major Obama Donor Bill Maher Calls Women 'Bimbos'

Schultz to Laura Ingraham........."right-wing slut."
Olberwoman to Malkin..............."mashed-up bag of meat with Lipstick."

But they're Leftists...nothing to see, there. Nope. Nothing a'tall.

In today's society, such denigrating of the female genda is not only considered to be totally out of place, but more so, those using such descriptive language are looked upon as being less than a man and more of a throwback to the likes of a Neanderthal subhuman living in the wrong era.

The user of such misogynist defaming language could use a little time working side by side with Union blue collar employees. In a Union work setting, you will not find such chauvinistic language being used nor even suggested. Union members look upon their fellow workers as being equals regardless of one's nationality, genda, age, religious affiliation, race or ethnic background, sexual preference and/or marriage status. Union members practice and sincerely believe in the real meaning of the preamble to the U.S. Constitution which states "That All Men Are Created Equal". ("Men" being generic in usage)

That is a bunch of bunk. I have spent my time in union shops where people are not looked at like equals. The guy who has worked the longest is king and you must kiss the ring or his A$$ to even think of doing the job you were hired for. It is unions that would love to do nothing more than impose communism, regardless of what the constitution says. With that said, we are all human and thus fail to treat our neighbors with the love that we should.

Scott's a bit confused about gender-identity, unions...and several other things....

To Clark V "You speak like a Fool" and to Mark John K. I f you can not at least speak openly with a point of view as Clark did, I would suggest that you don't speak at all !!!

For the record, I am a twice retired member of two separate U.S. Labor Unions.

The first was the IAFF were I was an active member for 30 years 8 mths 16 days and retired with the title of Sr. Capt of the Dept. ( International Association of Fire Figthers)

The second was the IATSE were I was an active member for 21 years 4mths and retired with the title of International Representative ( International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, Moving Picture Technicians, Artist and Allied Crafts of The Unted States It's Territories and Canada)

Speaking from over 50 years within the Union Workplace, starting at the bottom of two separate and independent Labor Unions and having the opportunity to climb the successful ladder to leadership positions in both and by which I am proud to have been a member thereof, I say this, you were both fools who missed out on the opportunity of a lifetime, that being, to be an American Labor Union Member.

Labor Unions are the workers representatives and defenders. The organized work industry is truely the fairest, most equal place for any man or woman to be employed within America, bar none !!!

That certainly explains your foolishness.

IN regards of Unions, there are good and bad parts of them...like anything else.
I know when we lived in a mining town, the Union was a major factor that kept the town running...as most people made their living from the mines.

So unlike most, I look at both sides...thats how a person keeps their mind sane (lol)

funny - where i grew up, you had few choices - mines, steel mills, teacher of sole proprietor.

and the unions absolutley killed both the steel and the coal industry with demands that were insane, and strikes that sent them into bankruptcy - so all the locval business' failed, population went saoring down,m so the schools had to be consolidated. today there is not a high school in the entire county.

and 30 years later, the same uaw members, sitting on the same barstools in the same bars (that had new owners every 6 months), still saying 'this is all a scam - mines and mills be back any day now - they're losing too much money being closed - all to break the union! - yes-sir-ree-bob ... any day now' ...........................

the unions in america lost all their good parts, in about 1950 - been nothing short of extortion, and mafia-style 'insurance' ever since.

biggest problem they had was preaching sales revenue, as if it were profit, and the average member had no idea of the difference.

I will not argue the vitues of a Labor Union, all such organizations are only as good as their members and the leaders they elect to Union Office. However, it is without a doubt that workers are better off being represented by even a badly operated Labor Union than representing themselves.

Point in fact, the largest work forces in private industry are all unionized labor. I would ask, "Why" would these workers choose to be union members if it was not good for them and their families.

Steel & Pipe Fitting
Machinist
Stage & Movies & Television technicians
Actors & Screen Writers
USPostal Service
UPS delivery persons & workers
Dock Workers
Telephone & Communications
Transportation & Trucking
Shipping & Merchant Seaman
Airlines Pilots & Stewards & Mechanics & Manufacturing
Miners & Oil Drillers
Auto manufacturing
Doctors & Nurses & Technicians
Teachers
Boiler Makers
Industrial Painters

The above are but a few of the largest Labor Unions and please note, I did not even list all the various Public Service Employees Labor Unions, which without, governments (city county state nor federal) could not operate.

P.S. America could not live without the above named private Labor Union Jobs and certainly could not live without public service employees. So without debating the point any further, I believe that I have made my point to any common sense thinking/reasoning person.

Scott, you could unionize any position and the fact is that the employer would be far more efficient without the union. I would rather be fired by my employer than unionized and keep a job where I am not needed. In fact I have worked recently in an insurance company that was UAW. No, it was not car insurance, where is the logic in that? I digress, I left even though my position was not union, the lack of being able to get anything done because someone might file a grievance was choking even non union positions from being productive. Like Del, I can drive you to a bar that is across the street from a field and a UAW union hall where a guys sits on a stool saying they will be back. The field once was a GM plant about half of a square mile in size. The union choked the company until it was not profitable and management let it happen. The problem is “competition”. I know that word may be foreign or even evil from your prospective, but the rest of the non-union employees compete every day for our positions. It forces us to not only get on top of our game, but also to maintain our skill sets. Seniority was your equivalent to competition and it is not the same. Furthermore, unionizing a position where the employer is the Federal, State or Local government is not fair to the people. When you sit down to negotiate a contract with a government, the owner of the company is not at the table and is not represented.

there were many that expressed undying love for chaiman mao as he was killing hundreds of millions.

some were deluded, some were frightened, some had not been betrayed yet.

from the kingston trio,

i stood by the union, i walkjed the line,
i fought against the company,
i stood for the u m w of a, now who's gonna stand by me?
cause i got no home, and i got no job,
i just have a worried soul,
and a black tattoo on the side of my head.
left by the number nine coal.

Thanks JJ, it would have been the first time we did not agree on something...

scott,
and how many of those unions you brag about, have employers that opeerate on their own, with no government subsidy, grant, aid, help, or fully fund?

maybe 5%?

in the last 65 years (since 1945 - and maybe even 75 years since 1935) there hasd been not one union that truly benefitted the workers, without raping the people that pay the workers.

look at the number of producers, that have either gone out of business, or are broke just waiting to die, that those unions mentioned were involved in.

then ask - what is the common denominator ...................... unions equal bankruptcy in todays world.

yes, and as i mentioned above - maher used the 'c' word for palin - and later said 'i'm sorry, there is no other word to describe her!'.

everyone on good morning america got a huge laugh with that one - cause using the 'C' word is OH-so-very-funny ...... if it is used against a conservative right?????

Hard to believe, Del. And, disgusting. But, then we realise that he's referring to Conservative Women, and that makes it humourous to Leftists...

aspparantly.

You haven't known 'gross' until you have Bill Maher slobbering all over you at the Playboy Mansion. The man has no morals and he's dang proud of it. He is a disgusting, nasty and vile man.

Indeeeeed he is. And sadly, Margie, you can see that his bile is fine and applicable...to Leftists, and when applied to Conservatives...

Let's get I'm drunk and take him to a lib party and tell him they're all conservatives, go get 'em. It would serve him right!

That's get him drunk...darned iPad, really a pain.

That's get him drunk...darned iPad, really a pain.

I felt bad for you when you'd say things like this ... now I have my own and I understand. In fact, the first couple of times I read my own comments on the screen ... and read something I never typed ... you came to mind immediately. lol

It's so annoying, take THAT one for instance, might be proof I was drinking, LOL! I don't drink, at least haven't in years...

Sometimes it's so incoherent I have to delete it! I know people get irritated by that!

1) Most liberals I know hardly take Bill Maher seriously--he is widely regarded as being exactly what you claim he is here.
2) Kristin Powers works for Fox News, so she is hardly a "liberal pundit."
3) I would be heartened by this outcry against misogyny if I didn't believe that the majority of the outcry was just an attempt to play "gotcha!"

I would be very pleased if the President spoke out against Maher's denigration of women.

I do want to say, however, that there's a huge difference between calling someone a "boob" (which is really no different than calling someone a "dick," and is a commentary on their public persona and not their nature as a woman--though public insults are not beneficial to discourse in any way) and calling a woman a "slut," which is a widesweeping historically charged insult against a woman who embraces her sexuality. It was also wrapped in a glaringly inaccurate representation of a major political issue, which is going to catch more attention. Things have context.

What about a "c"??? More of the double standard. Don't bother, we already know it exists.

Hahaha. So by not addressing the "c" word at all, because it wasn't part of the point I was making, I have now proven the double standard?

I was explaining my own personal dichotomy between a problematic insult and a non-problematic insult. I didn't bring the "C" word into it because it is so obviously problematic that I didn't think it needed to be addressed. Apparently it did.

"...and calling a woman a "slut," which is a widesweeping historically charged insult against a woman who embraces her sexuality." --

Laughs! You must be joking, Erlewine. This sentence, taken straight from Pantywaist U., is a parody on your part, Yes? A joke, right? The first Lesson in your "Reflective Woman" Course?

Like a Murderous cur who is "embracing" his Murderous ways, correct? Or a Or a common thief "embracing" his Thieving ways? Correct??? Please tell me that that sentence was a Parody on our disastrous "education" system...please...

You can't want to believe that was a parody as much as I'm hoping your question is, because to wrap my mind around your comparison of a sexually-active woman to a thief and a murderer is more than I can handle this morning.

Just when I thought i had heard it all, along comes Mark to compare a woman embracing her sexuality with theft and murder. Is this real life?

I refer to the ridiculous use of the word "embracing..." Of course, you'd have to be endowed with a bit of Wisdom, and Common Sense, to have "embraced" that... ;)

Lets just be point blank here.

It doesn't matter if the man is republican or democrat, if the woman is republican or democrat...it is WRONG!

Throw the politics aside and just admit that from any point of view if a man says something about a woman like any of the abovve statements he is wrong.

Nellie, The issue is how the media jumps on issues for one set of offenders, and let's others slide. it just is one sided. We all KNOW it should be the same, but from a reactionary level in the press, it just isn't. Do you see that?

Yep, at times.

I don't watch/listen to any of the so called political entertainers, I think they are all full of hot air. I rather watch I Love Lucy or Dick Van Dyke if I want good humor (oh oh, showed my age again) or if I want to hear political comedy I watch Archie or The Jeffersons.

We should all watch a little more TV at your house. Do you make popcorn?

rice cakes ................... ya wure that isnt peices of styrofoam?
