Santorum and radical feminists he claims to know

http://stevegilliard.blogspot.com/2005/07/hi-im-senator-batshit-crazy-vote-for_31.html


Senator Batshit becomes unglued again on TV. Some people were pissed at the way Jon Stewart talked to him, but his approach was to get the man to hang himself. People forget that Stephanopoulos is a minister's kid and knows religion real well. His father is a Greek Orthodox priest, so when the Holy Rollers come on, he knows how full of shit they are. So he went for the throat.

The whole segment is filled with crazy, but this is extra special crazy

George Stephanopoulos Interviews Sen. Rick Santorum, 7/31/05

-snip-



STEPHANOPOULOS: Let?s talk about something else in the book, radical feminists. A second quote from the book, you say, Respect for stay-at-home mothers has been poisoned by a toxic combination of the village elders? war on the traditional family and radical feminism?s mysogynistic crusade to make working outside the home the only marker of social value and self-respect.

Let?s get specific here. Name one or two of these radical feminists who are on this crusade.

SANTORUM: Well, I mean, you know, you have ? you go back to, what?s her name, well, Gloria Steinem, but I?m trying to remember ? I can?t remember the woman?s name. It?s terrible. Anyway?

STEPHANOPOULOS: But it?s kind of an important point. Because you paint this broad brush: radical feminists, village elders. Name one.

SANTORUM: There?s lots of ? no, there?s lot?s of ? well, Gloria Steinem. There?s one. I mean, there?s lots of writings out there?

STEPHANOPOULOS: She?s been on a crusade against stay-at-home moms?

SANTORUM: There?s lots of writings out there, and there is an opinion by the elite in this country across academia, across the media, that stay-at-home motherhood is not adequately affirmed and respected by our society.

SANTORUM: And if you don?t believe that, get a panel of stay-at- home moms here on your show, and you ask them whether they feel affirmed by society, whether they feel affirmed by the culture.

3. And on day two, lets get a panel of working moms
on the show and see if they feel affirmed by society. Then we can have a panel of fundamental extremist Evangelicals followed by a panel of Catholics. After that, a panel of natural blondes followed by natural brunettes...and the list goes on.

4. 'surprised he didn't mention Jane Fonda.. Both she and Gloria
Steinem are about the only 'feminists' most conservatives can name: and while both are outspoken, neither are particularly radical (and I'd much rather have one of them represent me in the Senate than Skanktorum).
