Fox News Sunday: Kristol Says GOP Much More Open To Strong Women

Neocon Bill Kristol made his usual appearance as part of the "Power Panel" on Fox News Sunday this morning and was surprisingly supportive of Hillary Clinton. In a rather tongue-in-cheek fashion, Bill decries the misogyny that he says plagued the Democratic primaries, and that Republicans are much more open to a strong woman:
"...I think Hillary Clinton was gracious. She's put behind her the horrible sexism and misogyny the Democratic primary voters demonstrated, which I'm appalled by personally, never would have happened in the Republican Party. You know, we're - Republicans are much more open to strong women, and that's why John McCain's going to put Sara Palin , the Governor of Alaska on the ticket."
How sweet of Bill to show such compassion for -- wait, wasn't it Bill who said this last February?
"Look the only people for Hillary Clinton are the Democratic establishment and white women… it would be crazy for the Democratic party to follow the establishment that’s led them to defeat year after year… White Women are a problem - but, you know… we all live with that…"
Yes, it sure was. Because we know there was zero sexism coming from the right during the primary season, right? There was nary a peep on FOXNews about Hillary losing male votes because her voice was shrill, or that her tears were just a political stunt, while male candidates of both parties getting choked up was just a sign of their passion, right? Save it, Bill. Even in jest, it just makes you look petty.
If I were Billy Crystal I would sue that pig.
I don't have enough anti-hypocrisy medicine in the cabinet to even watch this bastard.
I'm tired of this guy! Everything he has predicted has turned to crap! With all these talking heads, I think I'm going to barf! Now Laura Ingraham has her own show on Faux News! Cripes! It makes me want to move to Canada!
Indeed they prefer strong women. Strong women are much more able when it comes to heavy chores like carrying stuff. Most strong Republican women are assigned the particular chore of carrying water for someone else.
I guess that explains Ann Coulter.
Reich-wingers are much more open to strong women just as long as they stay in the kitchen, don’t speak unless spoken to, and have child bearing hips.
So that's why they call them C*NTS? Because they admire them so much.
Don't forget....McCain adviser: Sometimes it’s ‘accurate’ to describe a woman as a ‘b*tch
Ann Coulter
another ridiculous comment made by kristol false siding with hillary clinton to use as an opportunity to bash the the culture of democrats........trying to feel good about
themselves at the cost of others........i would like to see hillary as the v.p. candidate...not because obama needs her but she will be an asset
when kristol speaks always put on your contrarian hat
he is a NEOCON.......deception is to be expected
...As long as they're men.
He also called ANWR something like a useless wasteland, when they were talking about gas prices and drilling. He is in my opinion a useless wastrel of oxygen.
The fact that Kristol makes such a good living gives hope to the rest of the mentally ill in America. He counts on the fact that most Americans won't remember what he said yesterday, which totally contradicts what he says today. He and his opinions about anything should be thoroughly disregarded. The fact that this blog still devotes so much time to him (and Bill O) dismays me.
Yes, the GOP really adores strong women. That's why they have a plank in the party platform that acknowledges that women are strong and smart enough to make their own decisions regarding abortion. Right?
Strong women indeed--as long as they wear leather, carry whips, and tell you how naughty you've been.
Right. If John McCain has shown any consistency over the years, it is in his misogyny. Whether or not he actually called his wife the "c-word" in public, he certainly has let his disrespect for women slip out on occasion; for example, his dismissive treatment of Maria Shriver after a primary loss in 2000. I was at Fox News Channel at the time and got an earful about McCain from a Fox correspondent who had been covering his campaign. "He's a misogynist," she said, "but for some reason he gets a pass on it from the media." She went on to describe a news conference he had given not long before: as McCain readied to take questions, one of the reporters -- a young woman from CBS -- made her way forward, knelt down and extended her microphone toward the candidate, at which point McCain grinned and said (I'm quoting from memory here), "That's the way I like my women, down on their knees." To my knowledge, no one reported the remark -- not the Fox News correspondent who told me about it, not even the reporter who took the brunt of his joke. Maybe we'll hear about it on Fox now. Right.
Neocons are happy:

The little shit is afraid that if he said anything else he would get his ass whipped by his wife.
I really don't understand why C&L gives this absolute constantly discredited liar so much pub. Coupled with that anger provoking crooked evil smirk of his, blood sipping Billy is just worthless.
"Fox News Sunday: Kristol Says GOP Much More Open To Strong Women"
Like himself? Does that explain his endurance in the face of his complete incompetence, mendacity, and venal simpering?
woody, tokin librul @ 20:
teah...that makes sense....Bill Krystol's really a chick, passing...
Ron @ 18:
FIFY
Even in jest, it just makes you look pretty petty. Silly Billy.
Well everyone knows the Republican parties main platform is a strong stance on feminism. Remember how they all rallied around Hillary during the Lewinsky scandal?
When that Democratic radio show host Rush Limbaugh labeled them all Feminazis the Democrats lost the women vote forever!
Still yet, FAUX News is unable to figure out just exactly why their ratings are heading south, all the while airing people like Billie on these new fangled Teletube Electrical Devices. Go figure.
The sexism and misogyny Democratic voters demonstrated? Is he saying Democratic voters demonstrated their sexism by voting for Obama?!
I am starting to think his role is "the joker" on the neocon/fascist propaganda network. His statements are actually funny when you consider how ridiculous they are.
He is still a douchbag....but starting to appear as "the funny guy" on this pathetic round table or propaganda.
Kerry Reid @ 14:
Don't forget contraception...they're against that too.
I'm amazed that anyone still pays attention to Mr Kristol...Why people like him, Imus, and Ann Coulter get air time amazes me...
I should imagine in many GOP homes there are
strong women who do most of the heavy lifting
when it comes to keeping marriage and family
together.
Shouldn't most women, therefore, qualify for
office just from the contributions they make to daily famly
life? Or are Republicans blind to the contributions
of women on a day-in-day-out basis?
Maybe that's a reason for its failings with women: it
attracts only Stepford wives and the lies of Phyllis
Schlafly.
You know I used to be a male sexist pig. Then one day I realized that after a hard day's work, I come home too exhausted to do much of anything. But the women I know, after a similar hard day's work, head home, and immediately kick in to high gear and start all over again. Let's face it. They're better than us.
In posting #30 the last few words should read:
and the likes of Phyllis Schlafly.
Sorry for the typo.
Kristol Says GOP Much More Open To Strong Women
Yeah, I guess he'd say that, considering he looks like someone who would only enjoy women when they where a strap-on.
You can count on the fact that everytime kristol opens his mouth something stupid will come out.
republican = insanity!
Oops...wear...
something very freudian about the whole republican attitude towards women.
Well, if Kristol is predicting that McCain will put Sara Palin on the ticket, given his record of always being wrong in his predictions, we know that Palin is already off the short list.
yea... they even think cindy mcSAME is a "strong woman"... and with all her "business experience", "we would really get two for the price of one" (which is good if it's not the clintons, evidently)...
i just got this email today: http://www.snopes.com/politics/mccain/cindy.asp?print=y
Well it's a known fact Republican men like Kristol DO prefer it when others can fight their battles for them. So, yeah, in that sense they probably would like a strong woman, one that can fend off their mean critics, and then maybe open those tough-to-loosen mayonnaise jars for them while they're at it.
And, face it, any woman who could put up with this smirking creep has to be strong. (Or at least her stomach better be).
This is the first time I have ever agreed with anything that Mr. Kristol says; with regard to the treatment of women (after the despicable treatment of Hillary during the Democratic Primary), the Republicans are looking better and better. It's the truth.
gempei @ 33:
It's comments like this one that are driving Democratic women, men, and Independent men and women into the arms of the Republicans (pun intended).
As an aside, Kristol is clearly the Joker in that picture above. Which just furthers my theory that Batman's rogue gallery took over our government eight years ago.
Fox News Sunday: Kristol Says GOP Much More Open To Strong Women
As long as they carry a whip and a strap on.
so KKKristol is selling the american woman a bridge to neverwhere.
I wonder if there is a toll on the bridge.
nothing from a neocon is ever free.
Strangefate @ 42:
couldn't resist.

I'm a republican?
How strong do GOP women have to be to wear those little pink suits and pill box hats that went out of style 45 years ago, while gazing up worshipfully at their husband as he gives a political speech?
miss_kitty @ 11:
preferably white.
but they have made exception for self-hating minorities.
Embittered & Anti-Republicrat - Max-Hussein-1 @ 43:
Kristol only praises Clinton because she made a tried to use Republican-type tactics on Obama. The tactics backfired, and before she could correct her course, too many Democratic voters registered their disgust of such tactics by supporting Obama.
Why does even Fox give any credence to this virtual idiot? It's mind-boggling is that Kristol is so fucking out of touch with the real voters in America.
Mike the Riverine @ 49:
This is one time when he said something that makes sense (and is true). . . Republicans seem to treat women better (that tells you that the Democrats must be pretty bad).
Bill Kristol is one of “them”. “Them” are people who are willing to sell out Americans by cheating them out of their republic and replacing it with the Capitalist fascist state in which business and government are corrupted to the point where it is impossible to tell them apart. Kristol represents the domestic enemy. The fact that his misleading and deceitful narrative is given air time is one proof of the existence of a domestic enemy of the republic.
Big business, big business associations, and particular wealthy businessmen have decided that fascism is more efficient, profitable, and controllable than a republic. Through their mouthpiece, the corporate media, they function as a third political entity in the U.S.
Sometimes the corporate media will support a democratic initiative with propaganda as is the case with the FISA legislation, and most other times it sides with the republicans, because they have been so eager to betray the republic for big businesses largess, but in all cases the corporate media is out for itself.
Republicans have perceived corruption as a benefit of elected office, and in recent years a large minority of democrats agrees with this perception. They both are waving a white flag to let business interests know that the war is over and that business interests have won the philosophical battle.
Certain business interests have invested over thirty years and hundreds of millions of dollars in the corruption of our republican form of government to create a style of governance that is properly labeled as capitalist fascism while maintaining the illusion of representative government in order to prevent rebellion.
Though these interests have nearly all the power, most of the wealth and the means by which to sell the fascist world view there remain a few elements that prevent them from declaring victory. These elements include but are not limited to the sleeping giant, the Joint Chiefs of Staff whose primary mission is to protect the Constitution from enemies both foreign and domestic, patriotism, and the perception of failure/defeat of the republic leaving the nation to appear weak and vulnerable to our allies and enemies.
Strong WEALTHY women! And those poor to blue collar women who think the republican company actually is concerned with their needs.
Everybody's talking about Kristol. Okay, essentially everyone on this thread hates his guts. But nobody is addressing Palin -- and what Palin can or cannot do for the McCain ticket vis a vis the Obama ticket.
Psycho analyzing this repressive homosexual is the hardest task. Is Billy a bottom or just orally fixated? The idea that this woman hating sack of shit would say the primary voters in the Democratic party were misogynists makes my head spin.
Looking at that last shot from the clip, it is very obvious this is just 5 morons sitting in front of a box with a cheap back drop spewing shit.
I am reminded of tapes from Pravda where three or four paid "experts" would discuss the demise of the capitalist system. Really Rupert, you can do much better than this shit.
A conservative lies again. How standard.
Oh and Site monitor, You can tell classmates.com that since their ad jumped in between my going to the home page and the comments page, that I am never using their service. I don't click on intrusive ads. Ever.
Ya know whats amazing about this?
Many people believe what that asshole says.
This nation is so screwed and I think its beyond repair so Im getting my visa ready just in case these traitorous right wing lying criminal warmongers win in Nov.!

P.D. @ 3:
Come on up. Just leave any gun-totin', baby-killing, communist health care, Cuba lovin', Disneyesque, cowboy adorin' leanings at the border. Don't need em', don't want em'.
Yah, but what about Palin?
SlowBurn @ 40:
Do republiscum trolls even realize how fucking stupid they sound?
Rico @ 31:
SHHHHHH... We know it, and they know we know it, so lets not make it any harder on ourselves!
On the other hand, I would love to win 10 minutes in the boxing ring with little smirking Billy Kristol. Although I am very much opposed to violence, this jackass really makes me want to punch something.
The utter silence on this thread regarding the subject of Kristol's remarks, Palin, is telling. Don't you think?
Saint Augustine @ 58:
No! That's why they are still republiscum.
If it wasn't for the republiscum party, then the mentally ill bigots and stupid people, would be completely left out of the political process. The repukes give a voice to all that is evil and anachronistic. This is sadly the state of the republiscum party, for bad or worse.
Dr. (Fast Eddie) Matt @ 6:
You got that right.
And if Clinton has won the nomination, he would be pointing out how racist the Democrats are...
i'm the first to admit it is hard to figure out what mccain's position is on any issue because it mostly depends on the wind at a given moment, so i am sure we can excuse kristol for his apparent misstatement this morning that mccain is against drilling in ANWR.
kristol's shit-eating grin when he attributed "horrible sexism and misogyny" to "the Democratic primary voters" makes me think that february 2009 can't come fast enough. i don't know about you but i'm "going black" when the changeover to HD comes.
Why would anyone listen to someone who has been wrong about everything he has ever said. If this guy said the sun was gonna rise tomorrow morning I would be worried.
Bloody Billy has not been right about anything for the past eight years so he is wrong about his also.
Come On. Every one knows the GOP has a soft side for Men dressed up as women.
Not much serious here. Just the usual leftist hate.
Note how few of you focused much on the Palin part. If McCain picks Palin, Obama is in trouble. He would have taken his campaign from a no-win to a legitimate candidate for a memorable upset.
Republicans have been ready for a woman or minority President for years. Palin is perfect for the job, and word is getting around that Obama is afraid of her.
Gretchen @ 5:
Nothing ever explains Anne Coulter.
Is it just me, or does Kristol look like the joker in Batman played by Jack Nicholson?
These neo cons have ruined this country with their 100 years of war (Project for a New American Century)
and the pathological stew from University of Chicago, read " The Shock Doctrine" by Naomi Klein. Just in time for halloween.
ted @ 62:
Right on! Dodging the subject. Even if Kristol's predictions are wrong most of the time, the one person on McCain's ticket that would help him the most is Palin, and Democrats are avoiding any mention of her for obvious reasons.
Tom @ 70:
I don't think it'll make that much difference. People tend to exaggerate the influence the VP choice has on the ticket.
Nixon once said that a VP choice can't help you, it can only hurt. And I think he would know, since he'd been on both sides of the issue.
I'm confused - I thought the GOP liked little boys, preferably Congressional pages...
Den, normally a Veep selection would NOT make much difference. But not this time and not with these candidates!
Tom @ 72:
Ain't no VP gonna save McCain's tired and worn out repuke ass! The policies of the republican party have seen the full light of day, and that is the problem; it has nothing to do with personality. The people have associated republican with economic misery (and corruption for the very wealthy), and nothing, absolutlely nothing can save them! Its over for the GOP.
Who called Hillary Clinton a bitch? Was it Obama who called his opponent a bitch? No. Was it the rabid attack dogs of the Radical Right Wing of the Republican party? Yes. So who are the misogynists?
The problem is the Radical Right was chomping at the bit to run against their favorite Democratic candidate. They have had 16 years to perfect their talking points. If you are as intellectually dead as the Republican Party you do not want to have to think of new lines of attack.
Bloody Billy suddenly suggests an unknown woman as McCain's running mate to prove Republicans are not sexists. Sorry Bill, which party has had two women run for President and for Vice-President. It was not the Republicans; it was the Democratic Party.
NoGWBpolicyleftinplace @ 76:
Not quite sure why choosing a popular decent person for a job "not worth a bucket of warm piss" is a game changer. Not taking anything away from Palin, but she probably stands out from the rest of Republican Alaskan politicians as she's not wearing an orange jumpsuit.
Focus, people.
Thousands dying needlessly in a needless war: important
Regaining leadership role in world: important
Global warming: important
Deciding if we're a just nation that follows our stated American law and international laws or a mob of torturing thugs: important
Environment and solutions for energy crisis: important
The veep having testicles or ovaries: not so important
Sure, as long as they be sportin leather, heels, and a whip.....

Yes, they need strong women to give them discipline...at the end of a whip!
I swear Kristol is such a fuckin punk bitch. A mark-ass bustah, a trick-ass mark!
I bet he got the shit beat outta him regularly in school.
Tom @ 70:
Bwaaaahahahahahaaaa! Wait wait wait....no no no.... BWAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!
You reichwingers are the scared ones...MCBain will get stawmped in November, no matter who his choice of veep is...
Y'all are so desperate it ALMOST makes me feel sorry for ya..but after 7 plus years of the GOP/NEO-CON/fascist agenda from this administration...no sympathy from this guy.
The GOP is dead. Accept it, and let this country start repairing the damage done by this criminal administration.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Do you think these guys just start laughing their asses off when they go to commercial break? I mean come on!
Darth Hater @ 86:
Maybe...but even more likely is that they actually believe the bullshit spewing forth from their bleedin cakeholes.
I disagree... Bill Kristol is beautiful when he's making up lies. I just wish he's smile a little more and have dinner ready when I come home.
Have to agree with him here. Progressives frothing at the mouth over the image of a woman in the WH. Oh, and we don't want those Clintons anywhere near the WH, they're too centrist, and they do anything, say anything to get elected. No we want Barack Obama, a man who never flip flops, no?
