Dems Call On GOPers To Renounce Phyllis Schlafly Over Remarks About 'Unmarried Women' (AUDIO)

Conservative activist Phyllis Schlafly took aim at "unmarried women" at a recent fundraiser and in an interview with TPM, saying that they overwhelmingly support President Obama and are all on welfare. Democrats aim to exploit the comments to pressure the more than 60 Republican candidates who have earned Schlafly's endorsement.

"Unmarried women, 70% of unmarried women, voted for Obama, and this is because when you kick your husband out, you've got to have big brother government to be your provider," said Schlafly, president of Eagle Forum and infamous for her opposition to the Equal Rights Amendment.

A liberal organization recorded the Schlafly comments at a Troy, Michigan fundraiser Saturday for a Republican congressional candidate, the Detroit Free Press reported. In an interview with TPM this afternoon Schlafly stood by her comments and said Obama is trying to boost welfare rolls to help with his reelection and to help Democrats.

"Yes I said that. It's true, too. All welfare goes to unmarried moms," Schlafly told TPM. "They are trying to line up their constituency for Obama and Democrats against Republican candidates."

[no_hypocrisy]

1. That's both sexist and racist.

Guess Phil doesn't hang much with us unmarrieds . . . . .

[onehandle]

2. People on welfare are less likely to even vote.

But you know that you dried up sack of shit.

[qb]

3. Keep talking, Phyllis! Another crazy GOP spokeswoman only helps the Dems.

[libnnc]

4. That bee-hived nitwit is still alive?

:puke:

[CurtEastPoint]

6. Old and turning into Minnie Pearl, apparently, but yes, still kickin'

[Cirque du So-What]

9. Forgive me for being both sexist and ageist

but the first phrase that came to mind upon seeing that photo is 'old battleaxe.'

[CurtEastPoint]

12. Just leave off the 'e' on battlaxe for neutral-gender asshole. n/t

[Cirque du So-What]

13. Has any man ever been called an 'old battleax?'

It's a sincere question, as I've never heard it used in reference to a man.

[Sal Minella]

22. We are probably not privy to how frequently the Old Battleaxes

Club and the Old Curmudgeons Club get together for tea dances in the afternoon and key parties in the evening.

There's a lot we don't know, yanno?

[Marie Marie]

19. OMG

If that isn't the face and hairstyle of a totally repressed humanoid I don't know what is. Hey guys, don't dismiss her too fast. There might just be a mountain of smoldering sexuality underneath that puckered and pinched exterior. She may be capable of rocking your world if she ever let loose. You go Baby!!

[DesertFlower]

5. where does this woman get her statistics?

[HawkerHurricane]

20. Pulled out of her...

corn flakes.

[Larkspur]

7. Dems need to employ an old GOP trick, write a Censure bill and demand that the GOPer's support it

else be labeled women haters or self-hating women.

[Forkboy]

8. I can't believe this douchebag Shclafly is even still alive.

She looked dead in the 80's. Half the time I thought she was just a cardboard cutout.

[arbusto_baboso]

11. That was my first thought.

But then again, only the good die young. So Phyllis oughta be with us for another century or two.

[Forkboy]

14. That makes her fucking immortal!

x(

[Blue Owl]

17. Weekend at Schlafly's

What a fucking hoot that must be.

[Forkboy]

18. No one is drinking the bong water at that get together, for sure.

:D

[kestrel91316]

10. When is that hateful old bat gonna do the world a favor and die??

[DFW]

15. She makes up more statistics that Sarah Palin

That, in itself, is almost a statistical impossibility

[NJmaverick]

16. The right wing media will bury this story

[RagAss]

21. Cretin.
