Meet Phil Mitsch. State Senate Candidate. Realtor. Man.
Mitsch, a retired real estate broker running in a heavily Democratic district in Camden County, told The Philadelphia Inquirer he was actually advising men with his Twitter post. He told his 44,000 followers on Sept. 2: “Women, you increase your odds of keeping your men by being faithful, a lady in the living room and a whore in the bedroom.”
It’s good for your Old Lady to compartmentalize, though he forgot to add – “and never shit, even in the bathroom.”
Some GOP leaders asked Mitsch to withdraw from the race, so Phil logically doubled down on the misogyny.
“That’s a great tip,” he said at a meeting Wednesday with the editorial board. “That shows the utmost respect for women. … What I was trying to say to men was, ‘Men, look, if you got to go out and play around and you can’t be honest with a woman and respect her, then you’re better off just doing pay, play, and get the ‘F’ away.'”
Remember the health care debate and all the good times we had? Remember the tea partiers interrupting town halls with unintelligible rants about fascism, Hitler and the like? Remember when armed citizens protested outside the President’s speeches? Remember when this 1st Amendment expression was exalted by the Conservative Media? 2009 was a lot of fun.
Apparently, “First” Amendment means it’s a one-way street, and speaking of fascism, some recent incidents truly capture the spirit of the 21st century conservative. A woman was protesting (the seriously unhinged) Rand Paul outside the Kentucky Senatorial Debate. This foreign combatant’s dissenting opinion was apparently too much for some Paul supporters, as these heroic men decided to throw her in a headlock and stomp on her dome in the name of freedom.
Then there’s this. Old Man take a look at your life.
Stordeur, The Enemy Within
A 72-year-old man was arrested for allegedly assaulting a 23-year-old activist protesting Dino Rossi’s Republican campaign for Senate in Washington state yesterday, according to local reports.
The incident occured outside GOP headquarters in Walla Walla County where the demonstrator, Christie Stordeur, was “one of five protesters standing about 40 feet from the entrance of the office,” according to the Tri-City Herald.
Stordeur and the other protesters “were wearing bags over their heads and holding a sign that looked like a check.” That’s when Victor Phillips, according to a Sheriff’s deputy on scene, walked over to Stordeur to “lift her bag off her head.” When Stordeur “lifted her arm in defense,” Phillips hit it “with ‘force.'”
Yes of course. Get off my (public) lawn with your free speech.
But the most insightful part comes from Tim Profitt, the Paul donor/worker who did the head-stepping. In his weird non-apology, he actually said this!
“I would like for her to apologize to me to be honest with you,” he said. “She’s a professional at what she does,” he added, “and I think when all the facts come out, I think people will see that she was the one that initiated the whole thing.”
What?! That lil’ bitch should’ve bit the curb so I could’ve showed her how Patriotic I really am!
There’s something pathological about many conservatives’ insecuirty-driven inaility to apologize or admit mistakes. Bush never admitted a mistake until recently, when he acknowledged his failure of sending thousands to die in a pointless war, katrina, doubling the nat’l debt, negligently presiding over a crumbling economy, to privatize social security. I mean, Dick Cheney still hasn’t apologized for SHOOTING HIS “FRIEND” IN THE FACE!
Predictably, Fox News and conservatives have downplayed these incidents. After all, they’re still getting mileage out of a big scary black man standing in front of a Philadelphia polling place 2 years ago.
Real Americans. Men beating women who disagree with them. Just another day walking in the shoes of GOP misogynists, whose most prominent public figure once took care of her constituents by making rape victims pay for their own rape kits.
America, this is really who you’re voting for? Enjoy that.
Speaking of self-parodies, Sarah Palin can’t help herself. In particular, her new appointee for Alaska Attorney General Wayne Anthony Ross is a real treat.
I donkey punch with that hand.
The anti-gay, anti-Eskimo, anti-environment, anti-gay Eskimo environmentalist Ross is poised to become the top lawyer in Alaska. And in the state with the worst rate of sexual assault in the Union, Ross previously aired some views to the advocacy group “DADS” that may deter any young female from moving to Fairbanks for the long winter nights.
“If a guy can’t rape his wife…who’s he gonna rape”
Ahh, to be a victim in Alaska. Quite a gentleman. If he doesn’t get approved by the legislature, he can always get a job with the Taliban. And of course he has something to say to the woman with the black eye that doesn’t listen:
“There wouldn’t be an issue with domestic violence if women would learn to keep their mouths shut.”
Yikes. In fairness, if you follow the links above you will see Ross denies making these comments, though he also doesn’t seem to remember a meeting that clearly took place.
Anyway, after reading between the lines, I sat down with Mr. Ross (in my imagination) to pick his brain about various legal issues facing Alaskans.
GW: Mr. Ross, drinking and driving is a huge problem in Alaska. What do you believe is most central to the rise in DUI arrests over the last decade?
ROSS: Stop Lights.
GW: Great. If I could just switch gears for a second – Another issue facing not only Alaska, but the entire nation is school violence. What do you see as the primary cause of these tragic school shootings?
ROSS: Certainly the teaching of evolution is what created an environment for these godless bastards to commit these heinous acts. Just ask Tom Delay.
GW: Tom Delay did what now?
ROSS: He agrees with me regarding the connection between the teaching of evolution and school violence.
GW: Um, ok. Along those lines, I guess I just have one final question. In your experience, what do you see as the number one cause of pedophilia?
