Left-wing hero Bill Maher slams liberals for phony 'war on women'
Bill Maher continued his attack against liberals for what he says is a kid glove approach to radical Islam and the Islamic State — also known as ISIS or ISIL —arguing that there is a real "war on women" being waged abroad.

"President Obama keeps on insisting that ISIS is not Islamic. Well, maybe they don’t practice the Muslim faith the same way he does," the HBO host said on his show Friday night. "Not only does the Muslim world have something in common with ISIS, it has too much in common with ISIS."

Mr. Maher then argued that liberals are not doing enough to protect the principles they claim to stand for.

"It amazes me how here in America we go nuts over the tiniest violations of these values, while gross atrocities are ignored across the world."

What a timely revival of this thread, as it brings this to mind:

Boobs on the Ground: Fox News Host?s Bad ?Joke? -- NYMag

Yeah, a female fighter pilot from the United Arab Emirates is putting the hurt on ISIS, and Fox News hosts decide to go full frat boy and use it as springboard for a boob joke - followed up with a "women can't park, amirite?" joke.

So - how's that conservative outreach going?

Being condescending and framing women's voting choices in the context of dating and shallow emotions isn't really helping the cause either.
Ad portarys women voters as Obama's girlfriends. Talk about tone deaf.

He's right, though it's a point many have already been making for some time now.

Maybe they should try the Dem "vote with your lady parts" instead... since that was so suggestive of women being critical, deep thinkers and all...

Meanwhile Democrats continue to pander to and outright lie to women to secure their votes. The Paycheck Fairness Act was a bill that was full of redundancy and pork. It was drafted specifically so the Republicans would vote against it (being a horribly written bill, after all) and predictably, the Internet explodes with this headline "Republicans vote against equal wages for women" and echoed by the predictable left-wing sources as yet another attack on the GOP. It was a bill designed to damage Republicans in an election year, not help women.

There are already multiple laws in place that project women from pay discrimination and the wage gap is a easily disproven lie that Democrats all the way up to the White House repeat because they use it as a tool to manipulate female voters. A few crackpot Republicans propose bad laws and its ammo the Dems use to brand the entire party as misogynist.

Those screaming the loudest about the "war on women" are the ones guilty of lying and scaremongering in an attempt to exploit women voters by preying on their fears and insecurities. They're being used by the Democrats to retain power.
