There is a rumor that Barack Obama kneels down towards Meca and worsips Osama bin Laden five times a day.

Since a reference to an unsourced rumor is all that is required to establish validity, what is good for the goose is good for the gandner, no?

It's one reason some guys are skeptical about getting together with women because of these risks...

Neither sex is really superior. There are some really good and dumb people in both sexes. Men are far from perfect.

American culture seems to have feminized some men and machoed up some women so that these women are only attracted to the most alpha/aggressive of men and will not respect the feminized men and be apt to 'take them to the cleaners' ...

Another failing of humans is many are still very opportunistic and have no problem taking what is not theirs to get ahead along with stepping on others...
Another problem with American society is that we try to ignore that there are actual differences between the male and female gender. Trying to have a gender less society is stupid. Men and women have biological differences. For example men are physically stronger and think more rationally while women are able to give child birth and are driven more by emotion. That doesn't make any gender superior to the other but differences do exist.

People are way too easily offended. These jokes, though you may not like them, do not constitute a "war on women" (made up by the Democrat Party for political effect). If your dumb enough to believe this "war on women" garbage, you have some mental issues to deal with. Your imagining things.

But this is how the Democrats score points among their base. That's why they show a Republican pushing granny off a cliff in her wheel chair, and other obnoxious illustrations. They work with their base.

If Republicans do these things, it's some kind of "war." It gets tiresome.

This is not a war on women. A war on women is strictly mandating what they wear or requiring circumcision to reduce sexual pleasure with he idea that this will turn them off of sexual promiscuity. That's a war on women.

This one random, out of line congressman's comment is not a war on women. It's one guy who made a stupid joke (I assume he was trying to make a joke anyway; surely he wasn't actually being serious; women are awesome, ribs are delicious, and Adam and Eve didn't exist.

This is an overreaction to one idiot's comment. We shouldn't big up small issues because it removes the severity from the actual issues.

Well, trying to limit a woman's right to an abortion because the rape may not have been 'legitimate' certainly seems to qualify, and that guy wasn't joking.

OK... and what are we supposed to do with (or about) that rumor? Do you have a question?
If you do, I have no idea if Corbin said that and if he did, why...

I'm not even a Republican but it does get tiring to see a lot of these Democratic leaders using these lame shaming tactics that isn't even based on much fact. I've noticed that the Democratic Party likes to play off emotion a lot more than Republicans do. I know both parties are far from perfect but the Democratic Party are certainly the most annoying when it comes to delusion.

Black men 1869(even though it was tried to be held back)

You probably need to post that in the history forum. This is politics forum.

Oh, my gosh, we should hang a guy for making a joke! Unless of course it is lib making a joke about repubs.

Or black comedians making jokes about whites, etc.
