Stephanie Miller schools Carly Fiorina on birth control

[doxydad]

"Your medieval history degree is ‘handy’ defending Republicans"

Liberal radio host Stephanie Miller on Sunday explained to former Republican U.S. Senate candidate Carly Fiorina that her study of medieval history would “come in handy” after the Supreme Court ruled that corporations like Hobby Lobby could deny birth control coverage to women for religious reasons.

“A lot women including me are sick of the ‘war on women’, and we saw it in spades on Monday after the Hobby Lobby case,” Fiorina told a CNN panel. “Somehow this is the long arm of business and the Republican Party reaching into the body of women. It’s ridiculous.”

“The war on women is shameless, baseless propaganda, there’s no fact to it, and it’s worked because it’s scared women to death,” she insisted. “Enough. Enough.”

“I respect you very much as a woman for your accomplishments,” Miller snarked in response. “I even read that you studied medieval history, which I think will come in handy with trying to defend the Republican war on women.”

Miller noted that every woman she knew was “furious about he Hobby Lobby decision.”

“This is not just a war against women, this is a war against science, Carly,” the radio host explained.

“Oh, for heaven sakes,” Fiorina gasped.

“These religious people believe certain drugs cause abortions, doctors and scientists say they do not,” Miller continued. “They prevent abortion… I have friends who need it for endometriosis. How do you say you’re small government, and get the government involved in those personal decisions between a woman and her doctor?”

“I — this is crazy to me,” Fiorina stuttered. “Your arguments are so counter-factual. Twenty forms of birth control are mandated, by the way, not by Obamacare. They’re mandated by some HHS bureaucrats who go into the basement and write a regulation after Obamacare passes, and they decide. Elected by no one, accountable to no one.”

1. why are liberals so godam (sic) polite?

Every time I see liberals debate conservatives on teevee..they sit silently while the conserv spouts their crap...then when it is 'their turn' to talk, they are interrupted many times, and let the ass speak?

4. talk over them - never let the opposition be heard

the only way they can have a chance in an argument.

they own all the radio, TV and newspapers in this country and most of the magazines. They are working like hell to own the internet. Yet despite all this they still can't win. They gerrymander the shit out of the House of Representatives, they take people off the voting roles, they fix the voting machines to win. Their message is so insane, so stinky, so fucked up that the only way they can win is to cheat.

5. Conservatives think life is high school and they can assault at will.

This is why I would never be on one of those shows. I'd get kicked off in two minutes flat, because if these assholes think I'm going to be a kow-towing subordinate, they can kiss my ass quick.

3. I loved it! Fiorina was snarling at Miller while desperately grasping for a quick comeback!

She failed, bwahahahaha!

6. I agree, but fiorina had the mic 90% of the time...and that happens too

fucking often

8. Yes.

7. One simply can't "school" someone like Carly Fiorina. Where do you silly little people get

these absurd ideas ? I'm sure when this little episode ended Ms. Fiorina was theIt is t concerned and caring executive drone she has always been. It is that charming persona that assured the outcome of that election she condescended to participate in.

9. She should do what Rachael Maddow does to rude guests

"You have had your say, I invited you on here to have an intelligent discussion and you've attacked me personally. You've had your say, now I get to have mine..." Then she lowers the boom. very politely, but the guest is shot right between the eyes with irrefutable proof and left with mouth agape.

10. Who (besides Carly) thinks her opinion matters?

She's hated in her home town and vicinity for what she did to Hewlett-Packard: she couldn't carry Silicon Valley or the surrounding counties in her bid for a senate seat. I even voted in the GOP primary that year just so I could vote against her twice!
