Oh, what a convincing argument. 1 out of 310 Americans watches his crap. And don't pull that Obama **** with me, if you were to look into my posting history, none of my rhetoric is inherently against the left, nor Obama.

In this case, I do find it pathetic that the op, has taken the words of one individual and applied them across the board to the entire Christian right.

I'm not shy to point out hypocrisy when I see it, regardless if it came from nutjobs on the right or nutjobs on the left.

The young turk is a joke. They don't dare play the whole clip, just cherry pick and laugh.
Pat is saying women should make an effort to be appealing to their men, or they may find theselves complaining that he doesn't pay any attention to them. Play the whole thing, not cute soundbites, then embellish. This looks like high school giggles. Who watches this stupid show anyway?

I suggested this back in post #32......it's more exciting for those against him to blow it out of proportion. He could've very well addressed men in the same way.......wouldn't be logical to get it!!!

Some must follow PR they sure always know when he says something.......

In light of their recent assault on women's rights and efforts to legitimize rape it just looks bad.

Pat Robertson does not represent the Republican Party.

Is Lady Gaga the spokesperson for the Democratic party? Does anything Lady Gaga says or does represent EVERYBODY who voted for Obama?

Probably a publicity stunt? He says outlandish things much like Limbaugh, Coulter and other right wing people do just to garner attention and controversy. Just another talking head. The righties suck it up, every drop.

Oh please, there never was an assualt on womens rights. It was "partial birth abortion" the right was addressing.........what's wrong with ending abortion from happening when a women is in the second trimester, unless lives are in danger.

As far as the rape statement the guy was not wise to say it, but I do believe some doctors stood behind what he said..........you do know most abortions are not those of rape, most are from being irresponsible at having sex.

Some women get rid of babies due to the baby being conceived from an affair.

Which, of course, is entire unlike the Democrats' message that rich people are greedy, white people keep poor people down, men keep women down, Christians are trying to impose a theocracy on everyone else, conservatives are warmongers, etc. Yeah, liberals do a bang up job of not demonizing or marginalizing people.

Look, what you're describing is a characteristic of human beings. People are predisposed to divide things into "us" vs "them" because it has been bred into them over thousands of generations where quickly identifying friend from foe was key to surviving. Much as it may burst your bubble of self righteousness, it's not a defining facet of conservatives.

No such animal; the right made up an emotional button name for a procedure that saves women's lives and managed to get it outlawed. Nice of them. Perhaps next they'll outlaw your brain surgery.
