Wow...says it all.

[WilliamPitt]

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. It sure does..........and it ain't right.

[spanone]

2. obviously, the gop is not fearful of women and their vote

[WilliamPitt]

3. A very, very stupid gamble.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

5. The incredible, unbelievable hubris of Darrel Issa

the only convicted criminal serving in Congress will be his and the Republican Party's undoing. They are really taking the continuing political support of women for granted, even Republican women.

[MADem]

36. He's still mad about spending a million bucks to recall Grey Davis...

...and then having Ahhh-nuld snatch the governorship from him.

The sobbing starts around 1:28 or so...

He's always been a whiny little shitheel, it would seem.

[PA Democrat]

4. The GOP feels women belong in the back of the hearing room.

[peace frog]

7. Forget about relegating women to the back of the room,,,

Deep, deep down they believe women should be barefoot, pregnant and chained to the kitchen sink. Under some man's complete control from cradle to grave. Just ask Foster Friess, he's bound to agree.

[Initech]

6. Yes it does for sure.

[PA Democrat]

8. All of them are either members of the clergy or teach

at religious institutions. None are medical doctors. And of course none are female.

Here are their names:

Most Reverend William Lori- a Roman Catholic Bishop
the Reverend Dr. Matthew Harrison- President of the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod
C. Benn Mitchell- moral philosophy professor at Union University, a private, evangelical Christian, liberal arts university
Rabbi Meir Soloveichik- American Orthodox rabbi and writer
Craig Mitchell- ethics professor at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary

[tanyev]

11. I cannot believe Matthew Harrison is there.

I know the LCMS is conservative (grew up LCMS), but last I heard they were not opposed to birth control. I guess the frakking fundies have infiltrated there, too.

[BlueToTheBone]

9. It couldn't get more blatant than this.

If ever there was a direct visual of the war on women, this is it.

[Skinner]

10. Great pic.

Where'd you get it?

[MichiganVote]

12. Worthless chickenshit hypocrits

[BumRushDaShow]

13. The Democratic Party ads continue to write themselves

The GOP keeps providing a gold mine of material every day. Day after day after day!

[Hell Hath No Fury]

14. Fuck old white celebate men --

who want to control my sex life and reproduction.

[tblue37]

15. It's the back of the bus. nt

[Glimmer of Hope]

16. Ugh. How did it come to this?

[cojoel]

17. for a moment there

I could have sworn it was the courtroom set of "To Kill A Mockingbird".

[Art_from_Ark]

18. I thought it looked like the courtroom scene

in the "Mississippi Burning" trial

[byronius]

25. Thanks for burning my eyeballs. Hadn't seen that in years.

Is that guy still alive? Hope not.

[Art_from_Ark]

39. That's Sheriff Lawrence Rainey

He died in 2002.

[hobbit709]

19. i posted this version of the picture

[PhoenixAbove]

20. K&R - Women, please sit at the back of the bus.

[ibegurpard]

21. this photo doesn't go far enough

needs to identify all the preachers/ministers/priests testifying

[VWolf]

22. Reminds me of Shrub signing the ban on "partial-birth" abortions

surrounded by all white men. I'm sure someone here can dig it up.

[horseshoecrab]

27. Found this one

There are more old white guys in the original uncropped photo as you might imagine.

[Bluenorthwest]

23. I think last fall during our change for daylight savings time, the right turned their clocks

back more than an hour. Like to 1957.

[Danascot]

34. Krugman says they're back to 1879

[byronius]

24. Haughty lecturing from the slimy thrones of the Church Of Pedophilia.

'Moral Values' is gut-bustingly ironic in this forum.

[Danascot]

33. Birth control

reduces their pool of potential molestees.

[Warren Stupidity]

26. The War on Women has begun.

On the one hand, this seems to me to be a losing issue for the republic party, on the other hand, if it isnt we are screwed, all of us.

[MADem]

31. Now is as good a time as any. It will encourage younger generations to realize that "rights" are

precious things, not easily obtained, often as not, but easily taken away if they don't stand up and scream bloody murder. And that IS what they need to do, unless they want to contribute by their inactions to the Talibanization of our nation. Ya can't take anything for granted.

It's good that they've got their grandparents still around to tell them what's what--the first time this battle was fought was not something in the terribly distant past, after all.

This is one of those oddball issues where even the Callistas of the world ( and what miracle visited her that she does not have "as many children as God gives her" --is she infertile or is Newt shooting blanks? Or something else?) will smile and cheer for the GOP candidate, and then look nervously over both shoulders while pulling the lever for the Democrat....and then commiserate in overly dramatic fashion with the losers while secretly breathing a huge sigh of relief.

[Tsiyu]

28. Remember:

There is no such thing as Male Privilege.

[WilliamPitt]

30. +1

Indeed.

[MADem]

29. But they think they are superheroes, you see....

[Danascot]

35. + 1000!

[lunatica]

37. I don't think they've visited one in years, if ever.

Who knows what their imaginations have conjured up as depicting a vagina.

That is indeed a scary photo.

[MADem]

38. I'd wager they haven't been INVITED for years--if ever!

A woman is, far too often, expected to bear many indignities in this cold, cruel world...I wouldn't blame any one of them for refusing to tolerate any visitation from that tableful of pontificating blowhards!
