"The mothers health" with air quotes and rolling eyes... WHAT THE F WAS THAT???

[southernleftylady]

Wow for someone who never cusses SHIT what the FUCK was that!!!
air quotes.. who cares about the mothers life.. lets get that fetus born so we can not get in health care or good education...
what the fuck.. air quotes over "the mothers health"

[geekgrrl]

1. THAT was THE MOST DISGUSTING part of the debate for me. How anti-woman could you be?

Chris Matthews said it right afterward-- he lost a lot of women independent voters with that line and his snarkiness.

[JenniferJuniper]

2. Women should just die! Said Johnny M...

Die, woman, die!

[ivycat]

9. or as Palin would say

Die Baby Die

[Quantess]

36. A wife is replaceable. If she dies in childbirth, just get a new one.

(Same goes for wives disfigured in car accidents)

[Heather MC]

43. All of them except the ones willing to sleep with McLIMP

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWw

[Fleshdancer]

3. That's what I want to know.

Who the fuck does he think he is to insinuate that women are lying about their health (with the help of their doctors) for the purpose of having late abortions?

:wtf:

[Shallah Kali]

47. He did it to endear himself to the pro-fetus/anti-choice groups

remeber these are people so irrational to think pro-life means ensuring women can't terminate abortions and does not require them to support the right to life of humans who live outside of a womb. This sort of thinking also produced people like Janet Woodcock deputy operations comissionier of the FDA under lester crawford who feared teens forming sex cults based on the use of Emergency Contraception:

[bulloney]

55. I'm wondering if McCain alienated those groups later in the debate

when he said that a Supreme Court prospect's position on abortion would not be the litmus test in determining whether he would nominate that person.

Knowing the pro-life crowds around where I live, that's the ONLY thing you base your decision on.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

4. Obama did fine with that

He even made the point about abortion being a choice, and that no one is pro-abortion. He handed McPOW's head right back to him, the smarmy fuck.

I'm wiped out. I'm just glad it's the last time I have to listen to or look at that craven old prick.

[blossomstar]

33. Craven old prick... too funny.

he couldn't penetrate jello. He's done.

[prayin4rain]

5. he is a crazy bastard... CRAZY!!! n/t

[malaise]

6. It was the icing on the cake for the female independent voters

who were screaming 'thenks but no thenks' McPalin.

Big, big fuck up!

[Supersedeas]

7. one uncaring old fuck who wants Big Govt bt Doctors and the Patients

[EFerrari]

8. "Fuck Josephine the plumber's health, I need the fundy base."

[madrchsod]

10. remember he called his wife a "c"

he`s a angry old man

[DemoTex]

66. McCain hates women. He is the quintessential misogynist.

I hope this despicable little Freudian slip of McCain's sees a lot of air time in the next couple of weeks.

[2Design]

11. That is a catholic church belief - don't ever go to hospital that is

catholic to have a baby - if the choice is between mother or baby - the mother is let go

[EFerrari]

23. That's simply false. n/t

[flygal]

54. My aunt was turned away after a miscarriage

from a Catholic hospital. I have heard from women having good experience giving birth there, but they would not perform a D&C.

[EFerrari]

62. That's strange. If it was after the miscarriage, I wonder what

the thinking was. What a stupid thing to do to a woman.

[liberalhistorian]

27. Actually, the official policy in those types of

cases is to not put one life ahead of the other. So, they do not just "let the mother go." Notice I did not say I agreed with catholic doctrine, I'm just pointing out that you're mistaken in that statement.

[nichomachus]

Not true at all

In fact, ectopic pregnancy is one instance where the Catholic Church allows you to end the pregnancy.

[Cerridwen]

65. By removing the fallopian tube in which it's lodged...

if, in fact, that is where it is lodged and depending on the orthodoxy of that particular hospital.

Two ectopic pregnancies, like my sister had, and they'd have no tubes left. Nice, huh?

[Quantess]

37. A lawsuit would make them reconsider that policy.

[TygrBright]

12. THAT was where he completely jumped the shark...

...and it is going to come back and bite him in the ass, HARD.

That was a throwaway nod in code-speak to the nutwing base; unfortunately it also made him look vilely uncaring to anyone who doesn't speak fluent nutwingese.

amazedly,
Bright

[Lugnut]

39. As it should.

No self-respecting woman should vote for McCreepy after hearing that demeaning statement.

[fishwax]

13. The health of the mother is just part of the radical abortion agenda

That was sick. :grr:

[Sparkly]

14. That was John McCain losing a lot of votes!!! nt

[southernleftylady]

15. Someone needs to get that video! nt

[321Outright]

46. short clip of the video here-

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=385&topic_id=216109&mesg_id=216109

i made a comment on that thread about it, post 14.

[rcrush]

16. MOTHERS ARE OVERRATED! No more free ride!

[southernleftylady]

17. Rachel is on about it now!!! You go girl! nt

[riverdeep]

18. He always drops some bombshell in a debate that unfortunately never gets

picked up. Hopefully, this will. It happened right at the end, so maybe it'll stick out in people's minds.

This is what they really think. Personally, I'm sick of being 'respectful' of pro lifers. WE give them the choice to have an abortion or not, THEY don't give a shit about anything but the fetus, and when it's born, no healthcare for you!

[OneGrassRoot]

19. Here's a link to the video:

via Huffpo:

[undeterred]

20. Republicans hate women and do not value our lives.

[Betty]

21. that should be made into an ad

just run that clip, no need to even comment on it.

[FM Arouet666]

22. McStupid really looked bad on that one

I was thinking the same thing. WTF is he talking about. It is bad enough that his running mate wants women to have a child that results from rape, and you get to buy your own rape test kit, but to come out against an inclusion for the mother's health is just nutty.

[magellan]

24. I really can't believe he went there

Hope he's happy placating the GOP base -- all 24% of them. Most of the remaining percentage of voters will be understandably appalled by his medieval perspective on abortion and run in the opposite direction en masse.

[leftofthedial]

25. that was the truth coming out

in order to pander to the most radically extreme of the religiously insane, john mcsame would gladly personally choke the life out of a dying mother in order to possibly save her fetus.

[Generic Other]

26. QUOTEJohn McCain hates womenUNQUOTE

I suspect this will not go over well with progressive women in America.

[morillon]

28. He's characterizing 80+% of the country as pro-abortion.

My mom said that cost him even MORE votes. There's no such thing as choice to McCain -- you're either pro-life (pro-fetus, I say) or pro-abortion.

[Arugula Latte]

29. My blood pressure spiked up on that one. Fucking Bastard.

:grr:

[Lucy Goosey]

30. Well I, for one, am convinced. I hereby hand over control of my reproductive health to John McCain.

Because old white men know more about my uterus than a silly woman like me!

(Seriously, though, does McCain not know that women now have the right to vote?)

[Swamp Rat]

31. Hmm... what did he call his wife?

:think:

THAT is what McAsshole thinks of women.

[BuelahWitch]

52. He seems to like the "breasts of fresh air" from Palin though

[Shallah Kali]

32. He has no empathy, no basic human compassion - only when he argued against taxes did he seem pained

Anyone who can't feel compassion for another human being who has not done that person harm is sick and unfit for power over anything with more lifeforce to it than a pet rock.

[Wednesdays]

34. Anyone got pics or video of it? Let's get it going viral.

:grr:

[Shallah Kali]

42. Link-ity link here:

please rate up on digg, reddit etc.

[Stinky The Clown]

35. That was a tried, stupid, insensitive, out of touch old man committing political suicide on live TV

[nonconformist]

38. Here is a clip on Youtube

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFmxm_jjgSs

It's at the end of the video.

I hope someone can get a short but sweet clip of it onto Youtube as well... I'd like to see that video on the most viewed list tomorrow.

[Shallah Kali]

45. 20 sec youtube vid - link

58. Thank you for the video! nt

[SeattleGirl]

40. Shows how little McSame really cares about women.

"Women's health. Yeah, right. Like THAT matters!"

Fuck you, John!

[AirmensMom]

41. I just saw it again on the rerun.

What a nasty jerk! :puke:

[EFerrari]

44. I feel for both of his daughters. n/t

[Hekate]

48. I have two words for that bastard: Ectopic Pregnancy. That pandering SOB.

http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000895.htm

[TexasObserver]

49. That was McCain putting the last nail in his coffin with women voters.

He's getting women voters in the GOP base and not one more.

[malaise]

61. Bingo n/t

[radfringe]

50. typical repub view

do everything to save the fetus, and to hell with the mother/kids

[Raine]

51. His true feelings about women sure

came out on that one! :mad:

[Delphinus]

53. I missed a large part of the debate ...

can you bring me up-to-speed?

[depakid]

56. WYF was that? the first stages of dementia

The McCain of 2000 would never have done anything like that- despite the fact that he's been rather a foul man for a very long time.

In the 1st stages of dementia, not only does one see and hear the sorts of speech patterns (slurring words and lisping) that we witnessed, but judgment is impaired, and often reverts back toward juvenile sorts of expression.

[JerseygirlCT]

57. Yeah, I think he lost plenty of people on that one

Pretty disgusting.

[southernleftylady]

59. Has the media picked up this moment? I am flying today so I will miss all of this please keep me ..

updated on this subject!

[JenniferJuniper]

60. Tweety was all over it last night

Can't say anything about today as I haven't had a chance to see anything yet.

[southernleftylady]

63. Ok Im glad Im not the only one who was pissed about that comment! nt

[librechik]

64. oh, those murdering liberal welfare queens and their excuses!

ALWAYS getting unnecessary abortions...wait. I thought they wanted lots o kids to cheat the government.

Well, anyway, any old excuse for an abortion, cuz women are babykillers.

That's what I heard him say, at least.
