Foster Friese To Andrea Mitchell on MSNBC: "In My Day, Girls Used Aspirin For Birth Control"

"They put it between their knees."

Yep. He just said that on national TV. Birth control is dependent on girls keeping their legs closed.

Friese is Santorum's billionaire benefactor.

The remainder of his interview was just as insightful.

Sure to become a point of discussion on tonight's line up on MSNBC.

Andrea interviewing little ricky santorum's billionaire backer---told Andrea ( i'm paraphrasing-) that he couldn't understand all the uproar about birthcontrol - the 'cheapest birthcontrol is a woman putting a Bayer Aspirin between her knees'.....left Andrea speechless for about 30 + sec...........

We shouldn't be getting upset about it, we should applaude it-

Go ahead you shitfuckers, spew out all the ridiculous crap you believe. You'll hang on to your 32% of the stupid in this country, and we'll move forward without you! Eventually the stupid's children will not want to assocated with that segment of society, and over the next 50 years that number will drop by half.


Next debate the mods should straight up ask, how old do understand planet Earth to be?

pretty simple ass question isn't it?

Let them talk till they are blue in the face, all the better-

First they will wait to see how much attention it gets,

Then they will see how large the outcry is,

Then wait for Frothy to say something,


Romney and crew are idiots and don't have a clue what they are doing. As for a political campaign, McCain's was better and we all know what a bang-up job they did

we tried several approaches and most worked
this is not effective birth control at all

Is that what his mother, supposedly married, said to his father when they didn't want more kids? Bit difficult saying that for oh 20 years to your spouse sharing your bed. Going to need to buy a LOT of aspirin over all those years. Again, ONLY unmarried "sluts" use birth control.

Only one guy could get it up with all those dang squirrels and his name was Richard Cocker! And NO! We didn't have irony back then, if we wanted irony we had cut down a willow tree and chew on it!

We did it, and we liked it!

Second, is the idiot telling even married women that they need to practice abstinence if they don't want children or can't afford to support a child? I guess it's all the woman's responsibility because men are victims of their uncontrollable sex drive. Wow. How 12th century of him.

I have been sooooo tempted to start a DU thread with this title - but I'll just keep it here.

Because, yes, the reality is that nations that require virginity tests have non-married couples who get around this by just those methods of sexual expression. At least a lot of them do.

Nothing wrong with it - but it's a joke for these assholes to think they can legislate sexuality - one of the most basic human drives - because they have such a strong hatred of female sexual expression they want to create a "punishment" for the same in a day and age in which it is reasonable to use birth control to choose when to conceive.

sick bastards.

How did this supposedly work? Did the women walk around like this? Did they have to stay seated? And why an aspirin? Why not a little bible? Or a tiny cross? Or chicken salad?

Can't see the video right now, so I can't make heads or tails of this.
