Video: Santorum Backer Friess Suggests "Aspirin Between Their Knees" As Contraception

[ProSense]

Freak!

[bluestateguy]

1. "Will you REJECT and DENOUNCE and SEVER ALL TIES with _________________?"

Remember this exorcism that Hillary and Obama had to go through every time somebody said something stupid in 2008?

[sufrommich]

4. Yep, interesting that there is apparently no

such thing as too extreme of an opinion on the right. Andrea Mitchell should have stopped the interview right there.

[bluestateguy]

6. I think she got a bit of the Deer in the Headlights there

Then again, a professional reporter is not supposed to let that happen.

[tallahasseedem]

14. I'd let her slide on this one...

that answer was beyond f-ed up.

[Warren DeMontague]

63. Yeah. It's what's known as an "I Can't Believe You Actually Fucking Said That" pause. nt

[southernyankeebelle]

2. This is an insulting comment for him to make. I am so disgusted with this kind of talk. This is

what they think about women. It's ok for them to screw around. It is a serious issue. He only makes me madder than hell. The president solved the issue yet the republicans keep pounding him on this issue. Don't they realize even republican women think they have gone to far?

[sufrommich]

9. I'm really hoping to see republican women reject this crap. We'll see

in November I guess.

[southernyankeebelle]

13. I don't know I am beginning to think they are like a bunch of damn lemmings.

[arely staircase]

36. don't know about republican women politicians but this stuff alienates

the hell out of suburban republican women voters. it is the reason there is such a gender gap on party id and people like this guy are hell bent on making it greater.

[Why Syzygy]

46. republican women ..

Just ones who don't have children, have children, want children, do not want children, are not sure what they want, are not sure what they don't want. You make it sound universal or something. /sarcasm

[dgibby]

31. Another talking prick.

The majority of voters are women. Hopefully, this idiot and his ilk will keep spewing this trash long enough for all the women in this country to wake up and realize we're in the middle of a war and take to the streets!

I live in Virginia. I love my state, but the legislature is about to legalize rape (mandatory trans-vaginal ultrasound). Those of us here who are not suffering from GOP induced psychosis are appalled and frightened. I'm hoping that if it passes, the DOJ will come down on the Governor like a ton of bricks.

[southernyankeebelle]

35. I sure hope they are paying attention.

[Surya Gayatri]

3. Bless you, ProSense...

This is just what I was waiting for.

I couldn't believe my ears--this is Santorum's major backer, the face of his campaign.

Jeebus! These people are terrifying!
SG

[mazzarro]

5. Wooow!

That is a heavy one to take in!
Geeze, where do these people come from?

[SalviaBlue]

7. Un F-ing Beleivable

[GoCubsGo]

12. You took the words right out of my mouth.

And, that's about all I can say about it at this point, as it leaves me speechless.

[oldhippydude]

45. think i first heard that joke in 62

it wasnt funny then... and hasn't improved with age

[saras]

8. It's obvious why these scum won't debate in public

I'd love to see a smart teenager simply ask, in public debate "We're going to fuck. It's what makes us good healthy humans, and while there's plenty of positions that allow us to fuck with an aspirin between our knees, it doesn't really make sense that restricting ourselves to those positions is going to do anyone any good. How exactly is this aspirin thing supposed to provide abortions to people whose condoms fail?"

[spooky3]

10. so offensive on so many levels, but I have two questions for him:

1) are you advising married women to not have sex with their husbands?
2) why aren't you advising men to keep it in their pants?

Keep talking, sexist extremists--you're showing your true colors and giving the "undecideds" a good reason to decide to vote against you.

[Beartracks]

48. Well, if the penis is duct-taped to the buttocks...

... then the aspirin becomes irrelevant.

Well, I guess the guy could just take the aspirin.


But, yeah, I just don't get the whole "wimmin spreading their legs causes babies" thing.

===========================

[whathehell]

50. Duct tape on a popsicle stick is cheaper than Viagra too...

He also mentioned the "aspirin" form of birth control as "cheaper" too.

[Quantess]

11. Why does that old coot get to have an opinion about my sex life?

That pisses me off.

It should make everyone extremely annoyed that this dried up old bag is bloviating on tv about how you don't need any family planning.

[meow2u3]

38. It's because he's a jerk

Oh yeah, Fries, a man who beds 100 women is a hero, but the same women he screws is a slut.

[efhmc]

47. Big bucks $$$$ repug donor = right to opinion about women's bodies.

Can someone please explain what this idiot is saying?

[Quantess]

55. He thinks he's being "cute"

"Ha ha... back in MY day...."
Mabel douched with lysol after your date at the sock hop.

[Zookeeper]

58. He's saying women could just keep their...

legs closed, then they wouldn't have to buy contraceptives.

This guy must have traveled from the 1950's in his Delorean.

[tallahasseedem]

15. I'm going to go ahead and make a contribution...

to Planned Parenthood in honor of this pig of a "human being".

[Firebrand Gary]

16. I am lost for words...I don't even

know what to say to that. I burst out laughing right after I heard Andreas response, I thought he was joking at first, OMG. There are really no words for that, no words at all. Ugh....

Umm ya, what to say?

[titaniumsalute]

17. Holy Shit on a Shingle

You know the right has been getting "dumber" but oh wow. That is amazingly stupid. And her response was perfect.

[gkhouston]

18. This is the sort of thing that makes you wish

an elderly mama would walk up during the statement, whomp him upside the head with her purse, and tell him what an ignorant fuck he is.

Triple points if the woman is his mother and she tells him how bitterly she regrets that the condom broke when he was conceived.

[jpak]

19. I had that on in the background - and I just about calved

What a dumbass

[truth2power]

20. That is so offensive I don't even have words to describe it. How

can anyone be so stupid as to say such a thing on national tv? Is he insane?

I hope this goes viral.

[horseshoecrab]

21. oh.my.gawd...

Wow! Friess is a complete idiot! ("What an a-hole" is what I'm really thinking though.)

But -- thanks to Freiss for reiterating just what they're all about. Between the (mostly) men only hearing about bc and this bit of wingnuttery, they're digging their own political graves.



horseshoecrab

edit to correct spelling.

[bayareaboy]

22. what a stupid thing to say ...

For many reasons. It is an old joke that kids used to say on camping trips or behind the barn during the forties and probably before. This guy can afford a writer or at least an internet coach. I got to think though that sweater-vest Rick want's him to the utter fool that he is, so it looks like good old wankers are supporting him, not no wall street folks.

By the way is this jerk Santorum's super pac man, if he is, why is he spending so much time in front of the camera. I think someone is streching this garbage way out.

[JDPriestly]

23. This reveals the extreme sexism in the Republican views on contraception and abortion.

It's just about keeping women down.

Men are viewed as just sort of passive participants in sex. That's not the way it works. Not at all.

[meow2u3]

39. Those sexist pigs want to abolish contraception for the wrong reasons

I see through the religious language. They all say it's because it's morally wrong, but they really want to control women.

I'd be OK with it if there were a single standard of continence, but no, those boys want to have their cake and eat it, too. They're not men; real men don't dominate women.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

24. If he says this kind of demeaning thing about women

what must he say in private about blacks, gays, hispanics, an the poor? You just know this19th century mindset has a certain highly regressive consistency to it. We need more assholes like this speaking their true minds in public and not holding back, showing the public what the actual backers of the GOP are truly all about. I encourage his kind to keep it up and give Obama an easy victory next Fall.

[Dont call me Shirley]

25. Better idea for birth control: castrate Friess and those who think like him.

40. And hold the anesthesia

[cash__whatiwant]

26. just...wow

[Glimmer of Hope]

43. Oprah speaks for me on this one too.

[SunSeeker]

56. Me three.

LOL. Great post! I wish I could figure out how to post video snippets like that.

[Thrill]

27. Republicans are really disgusting people

They truly are

[DFW]

28. I think Friess needs a hungry crocodile between his knees

But maybe I'm suggesting too docile a treatment for his condition?

[oldtime dfl_er]

57. haha

Your response made me laugh!!

If only Friess's mother had had a headache (and no aspirin) on the night of his conception...

[DFW]

64. That would mean......

That Friess's wife was laboring under a misconception!

[anAustralianobserver]

29. It's the 2012 GOP apocalypse - an uninterrupted string of youtube macaca moments!

[lovelyrita]

30. Disgusting!

What year does he think this is?

[sarge43]

66. Guessing, at best about 1962

I first heard that one 50 years ago. Ask me again why us wimmins went ballistic in the 60's.

[spanone]

32. why is this asshole on teevee? his opinion means less than any woman in the world

[mmonk]

33. Got this from Liz Winstead via her mobile on Facebook

with the comment "Un, now what.....

[JitterbugPerfume]

34. If they get half a chance

women will be ruled by the American Taliban.

Pregnant and barefoot is no joke.

[erinlough]

37. I so agree

these guys mean it, and they are dangerous. It is folly to laugh at this creep. Just ask women who lived in the world before contraception was available. When the pill became available my mother who was in her 50's advised me to take it and to make sure it would always be available. It is a bigger deal than people think.

[Raine]

59. I'm just glad that at my age I don't have that as a concern

but I'm angry about this and how it would effect younger women.

[Quantess]

61. I'm just offended that creeps like these think they have the right to decide!

That is offensive to me, beyond the reality of the consequences.

[meow2u3]

41. How the hell are you supposed to walk with an aspirin between your legs?

That's one burning question I'd like to ask Friess.

Another question I'd like to ask him: how would you like a sharp pair of hedgeclippers between your legs?

[MrScorpio]

42. This country has officially gone off the deep end

And it's nut jobs like this guys who are in the driver's seat

[RBInMaine]

44. Then get out and campaign like hell for Democrats and send the Goofy Oddball Party packing.

[bayareaboy]

49. whatever what this jerk-of said ...

You ever get the feeling that what rePUGs are doing is kind of like Nascar.

I mean Santorium has this guy who happens to agree with what Mr. sweater-vest has to say, but he has to put into the fold a silly joke to tell everyone how old the guy is. One thing I learned when young in racing was hopefully the man who controls your team will just supply de money and not be a jerk. This man is a jerk.

I am now watching the team sponsor doing an interview on the Last Word. I actually think that guy feels that somehow he will get the cup and his hatred of the Black Driver is pretty self-evident.

I mean look at the debates so far. it is much like whole Nascar Horse-shit.

[ohheckyeah]

51. Hey, Friess, you idiot

it's your boy Santorum making all the noise about sex. Him and his fellow Republican crotch watchers.

[47of74]

52. God, time to whip this out again

Yeah, I will need aspirin when I'm done here.

[renie408]

53. Even Rick Santorum has to be saying, "Hey, man, don't help."

[Beartracks]

54. "Then I took an aspirin to the knees."

I put a link to shirts in the Marketplace, too (but they don't include the Skyrim imagery, of course).

=======================

[Zookeeper]

60. The suggestion that women should keep their legs closed...

should go over big with straight males between the ages of 13 and 90.

I hope they all hear Foster Friess' alternative to contraception.

[Warren DeMontague]

62. Hurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[polly7]

65. Nasty, ignorant man. I feel for the women in his life. nt.

[sendero]

67. As usual..

.... it is not about babies, it is about sex. These people don't want people FUCKING. They cannot STAND the idea that some poor schmuck is getting more ass than they ever will.

[Shankapotomus]

68. Oh poor Mr. Friess

Why won't these "women's issues" just go away?

[leeroysphitz]

69. Mr. Friess then went on to relate a story in which he ties an onion to his belt.

Because it was the style in them days...
