2. I can't believe I agreed with Tucker Carlson and disagressed with |
|
Bill Maher. And then the African-American congresswomen - a prime example of why women are discriminated world wide. Discrimination against women is OK because it is a religious observance. But you can't compare that to discrimination against Blacks.
I attended a Women's conferenc years ago. They pointed out that it's OK to discriminate against women but no other minorities and the public doesn't realize it's verbally putting women down. As an example, take any comment against women and change "women" to say "Blacks".
So many people - so few brains. I can't believe Bush pulled off this "I lied, people died - but I am brining democracy to Iraq because I ran out of excuses so it is a good thing" crap. How dumb are Americans.

3. Stephanie Tubbs-Jones said |

She was OK with someone not wanting to shake her hand because of religion. She doesn't think it's OK to beat women in the name of religion. She's trying to respect the religious beliefs of others without pushing her own off on them.
Fucker Carlson was comparing apples to oranges.

4. Bill Maher asked her if it was OK not to shake the hand of a Black |
|
person. She said that was different. It's not. It's the same thing. The religious beliefs for the longest time said that Blacks were not on the same league as whites. The Mormans once taught that Blacks should not be taught their religion. Christianity once felt it was OK to own Blacks slaves. Times change. Women are still discriminated against by most of the major religions. Including Christianity. Some thingk women shouldn't work, should stay at home and wait hand and foot on hubby.
Thanks for giving me her name. I was not familiar with her and missed it when she first came on.

actually came off sounding half-sane. Not like on Crossfire.
I don't know WTF is up with Stephanie Tubbs-Jones. I never particularly liked her when she was a prosecutor in Cleveland. She always seemed to be a corporate shill. But, she was annointed by Congressman Louis Stokes to succeed him in Congress, so there she is.

6. Show was somewhat of a disappointment |
|
Maher seemed a little watered down.
Trying to get a conservative audience is kind of suspicious? Like why should he care? Some of his guests don't like being booed or having to listen to the other "liberal" guests being applauded????WTF??? Is Rush worried, or Hannity, or ...who else?
Can't the wimpy conservatives take a little of what they are dishing out?
