Quinn called NOW the "National Organization for Whores," said columnist Fatimah Ali should "get an American name"

Summary: On his syndicated radio show, Jim Quinn referred to the National Organization for Women as "the National Organization for Whores," and said of Philadelphia Daily News columnist Fatimah Ali: "[Y]ou know, Fatimah, what's your real name? Come on, seriously. I mean, get an American name, will you, if you want to be an American." He then asked: "You don't suppose she's a liberal black Muslim, do you?"

I thought the line between Islamic Terrorism and Islam was clearly defined.

Posted by Kyle_Broflovski in reply to DAWUSS

...and what kind of a name is Quinn?  Is he some kind of right-wing IRA terrorist?  Why doesn't he change his name to something more Anglo-sounding, like Jones??

Posted by Col. Harlan Sanders in reply to Kyle_Broflovski

Jones? Too Taffy.

Hey, this isn't Germany in the 1930's, except that "Jew" is replaced with "Muslim" - so cut it out.

Posted by NiceguyEddie in reply to DAWUSS

how little do you understand about your party?  They want to people to fear ALL people of Islam.  And they want us to embrace ALL Fundamentalist Christians.  The radical Christian agenda is no less frightening than the Radical Islamic Agenda.  It's all war and death and "end of days" no matter what invisible man in the sky you think is behind it.  The Democrats realize that there is very little differecne in the political beliefs and social behaviors of moderate, mainstream christians and moderate muslims.  It's YOU GUYS that labeled ALL muslims terrorist.  You and your ilk blurred that line to distract us all from Bush's miserable failings.

I think all these foreign sounding names should be changed.  Muhammad Ali could rename himself "Cassius Clay", and Kareem Abdul-Jabaar could call himself "Lew Alcindor", for instance.  Otherwise, kick them the hell out of the country.

Unbelievable, even for shock jock crap.

Oh, well.

Jim Quinn - another worthless moron talker whose days are numbered once Obama/Biden win.

And no, not LITERALLY, you worthless righty pricks. We do not have any Alan Berg killer types on my side of the aisle, thank you very much.

So what's the order in which they trade their microphone and a studio for a megaphone and a street corner?

Rabbit, ever wonder why the assassination attempt against Barack isn't getting any airtime? I wonder if it's because a Rove vetted appointee doesn't want anything that could possibly give press to Obama to surface?

P.S. What should quinny's indian name be? ;)

Posted by oscar the grouch in reply to snoopy

Paleface?

Posted by eweston8542983

K, I don't get the Alinsky refference. I'd be amazed if anyone tryed to say that Palin isn't a woman. Is there some problem with being a liberal black muslim woman?

The law naturalising births by american nationals in Panama was enacted after JC was born. It is not a retroactive law. I guess another illegal republican presidential victory is not worthy of note.

"I'd be amazed if anyone tryed to say that Palin isn't a woman."

 

I'd be amazed if anyone tried to find out, and more so, why were they so interested in finding out?

Posted by Brabantio in reply to eweston8542983

It's incredibly difficult to believe that the Founding Fathers would have intended children of those serving their country to be anything but U.S. citizens.  That would discourage people from serving.  There might be a technical issue here, but for all practical purposes McCain has been accepted as a valid candidate, and that's as it should be.

Posted by eweston8542983 in reply to Brabantio

All well and good, Yawnie can run and perhaps with alot of help from Karl win. Then if Karl perfers Palin in the hot spot then Karl can point, though fellow travelors that hey Yawnie ain't lejit.

Some kind of legal protection for his position would be good, and not just for him.

Source of the legality item was on Stephanie Miller's Show this morning.

Are you sure that service member's aren't the exception - I have always understood that if a child was born overseas to a service member they were a US Citizen - In my opinion; as it shoud be...

Highly offensive.

He sounds more like he's offensively high.

Posted by MidnightWriter

We should all be happy for Jim.  His childish little rants are finally giving him some of the attention he so desperately craves.  Sure, his tirades leave him looking like a far less sophisticated Jethro Bodine, but at least he's able to go to sleep at night cradling a delusion of adequacy.

Posted by Easy to refute wingnuts in reply to MidnightWriter

Come on. Jethro Bodine is Fred Astaire when compared to Quinn.

Posted by MidnightWriter in reply to Easy to refute wingnuts

You're right.  I overstepped.  My apologies to Jethro, Uncle Jed, and the rest of the family and friends in the Hooterville area.  They hardly deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as this clown.

Posted by Brabantio in reply to MidnightWriter

How about Otis Campbell?

Mayberry's town drunk had far more class than Quinn.

Some conservative want to explain, once again, how Right Wing Talk Shows dominate the market because of their superior content....?

Posted by pete592 in reply to nerzog

I'm also anticipating further explanation about how conservatives consider right-wing professional liars like this to be "fake conservatives" and not "real conservatives."

They elect some idiot to the presidency, but when he inevitably FUBAR's the country, he's suddenly "not a real conservative."

They listen in droves to idiots like this and keep the ad revenue coming in, but when they utter offensive sewage like this, he's suddenly "not a real conservative."  

Posted by nerzog in reply to pete592

Or just an "entertainer."

Posted by Easy to refute wingnuts in reply to nerzog

None of these "entertainers" have ever entertained me.

Posted by princeofwheels

They have dumped two progressive shows in Pittsburgh including Thom Hartmann. The station has become an all business station...amazing.

Good news in P-Burgh today.   Rush has been interrupted by the Pirates so the Dittoheads will be roaming around not knowing what to say. It is always hilarious at work. At 3:00pm they are geniuses. But when Rush is not on, they cower in their cubicles and can only use yesterdays talking points. And NOBODY listens to the Pirates. Maybe I'll tune in to the Business Channel.

Posted by DAWUSS in reply to princeofwheels

You mean they haven't been able to listen on the Internet via another one of JC's 984512348541354584651321564874321205648513213165476218461255447586487557 radio affiliates?

Tis a no-no to use your business computer> But their radios don't go too far.

Posted by nerzog in reply to princeofwheels

I honestly believe that the whole Republican Party would fall into a silent stupor if they lost PigBoy. Who do you think came up with that "Drill here, drill now" crap?

Of course, I wouldn't be surprised to find out that PigBoy is just another Karl Rove mouthpiece. If we had any real investigative journalists left, they could look into that. Maybe there's another Sith Lord in the shadows that we know nothing about....

Posted by princeofwheels in reply to nerzog

After being flagged, I will now say that Quinnie and Jeff Christie, Rush, were friends here in Pittsburgh during Jeff's stay. Check it out.

This Quinn guy is no more than an uneducated bigot who doesn’t deserve to be on radio or no other form of media. Every time he opens his mouth he demonstrates just how stupid he actually is. The only real American Names are those of Native Americans. What in the hell is Quinn? A Nazi name?

Posted by Kyle_Broflovski in reply to nuke7

I think when he says 'American' he means WASP.  Most of these idiots don't know the difference.

Posted by Kyle_Broflovski

You know, Jim Quinn, what's your real name? Come on, seriously. I mean, get an American name, will you, if you want to be an American. You don't suppose he's a conservative white Irishman, do you? I'm just curious.

Posted by Lorelei

You all got it wrong, he is a true conservative and a card carrying member of the "family values" group.   You know, the ones that think women should be barefoot and pregnant, and the ones that aren't are just whores.

Posted by proudconservative

The NOW lost any credibility when they remained silent, for purely political reasons, during the years of Clinton's presidency.  Even though the belief at the time was that any accusations by women were gospel and not to be challenged.  It chased several senators like Tower from office as it should have for groping members of their staff.

But along comes Bill and he's just an 'alpha male' for all his misdeeds, including rape, and NOW keeps it's mouth shut.  Why, becaused politically they valued their leftist agenda before the needs of women.  In defending wild bill, they showed their stripes.

A whore is someone that gives away something precious for a price.  It's like the guy who asks a girl to sleep with him for a million dollars.  She says yes and then they guy says what about for 5 dollars.  Indignantly she replies, what do you think I am?  He say, we have already established what you are, now we are just negotiating price.  That's what NOW did with their credibility.

 

Posted by worrierking in reply to proudconservative

Note to Self:

In the future ignore posters who've lost all credibility when they make a claim that someone else has no credibility.

Posted by vysotsky in reply to proudconservative

Before proceeding, it will be important to distinguish what you imagined from what really happened. When did NOW claim that Bill Clinton was an 'alpha male' for allegedly raping anyone?

Posted by proudconservative in reply to vysotsky

neveragaintobeconfusedwithvygotsky,

I believe that a number of the 'so called' feminists avoided the idea of removing Bill from his office because of his misdeeds, including his risky sexual entanglements.  Why, probably because he said he believed in what they believed about abortion.  A great line from the movie, Primary Colors, which looked like it written right out of his first presidential campaign, is when the campaign manager is challenged to repudiate all the lying his candidate/boss does is, "He lies, but he lies about the things I care about!"  That is why NOW was relatively silent when compared with Packwood, Tower and other's who were accused of assaulting women.

Maybe they didn't use the term 'alpha male' in their public comments, but I am certain that it was used by others to excuse his behavior before the public.  If a republican president had done the same, NOW would have been all over his use of power to intimidate women and misuse them, drawn and quartered.

I'll say that I am wrong, when NOW comes out in support of Palin as a candidate because she is a woman. One that on her own merits has risen to a grand and unique position in American history.  I won't hold my breath.

Thanks so much for your definition of "whore."  Did you just learn it and are kind enough to share it?  At this time in American history, anyone offering the post you offered who takes pride in being a conservative has got to be a total schmuck.  In case you're unfamiliar with that term, please look it up.  (Hint: it's in the vicinity of the anus.)

kernal,

Is it the National Organization of Women or the National Organization of (certain politically oriented) Women?

http://www.now.org/issues/harass/packwood.html

Now compare their rapid response to the tepid actions in regard to Clinton.

http://www.now.org/press/04-98/letter-ed.html

Which criteria do they fit?

Posted by Col. Harlan Sanders in reply to proudconservative

Do you think one allegation, or three, should set off the same response as 29? I'm not sure where you see the inconsistency.

BTW, The National Organization of Women isn't a dating site, so I'd advise you not to waste any more time lurking around there.

Posted by proudconservative in reply to Col. Harlan Sanders

So basically, it's quantity over quality?  And should that make a difference when a woman says that she has been assaulted?

Is it the National Organization of Women or the National Organization of (certain politically oriented) Women?

Neither. It's the national Organization for Women, and if you weren't proud of something you should be ashamed of, you would know that.

Isn't Pride one of the seven deadly sins? Why is it that the wingnut Christians have no problem with saluting and even advocating the very things that jesus spoke against?

This item is in their gifts hop...do you suppose they actually have tested it on themselves? Do others see the irony in selling this item on their web site? I heard this pair from time to time on local radio and they make Rush sound tame.



Posted by princeofwheels

Tuned into Quinn today 9/5/08  and caught Quinn explaining why he used the word whores...They are Political Whores, so that explains it. Also, he used this to attack Bill Clinton.

 

Yesterday, I referred to Radio Rose being in Minny and whoring around with Seanie meaning paling around...so using Quinns' definition, it should not have been pulled.

Is that the same Fatimah Ali who threatened a "full fledged race and class war" if Americans don't elect Obama, the left's oppressive black Muslim-leaning socialist.  Why, yes, it is. Perfect description of lefty "tolerance," obedience or violence. 
Take him out back and have him horse-whipped! Is that American enough? By the way, just what the hell is the guys' problem with Saul Alinsky.

Hey darlin,

You must still be in the air as I'm writing this. IMYL. How long a flight is it from D to C? I spent most of the morning/afternoon running a few errands. Then went through the archives, found some funny stuff, but I'm sure I've just barely scratched the surface. If you're around later I'll post it :-) You asked awhile ago what I thought of Biden as Obama's VP pick. Well, early on Biden would have been my choice for the Democratic nominee, just based on the fact that out of what I didn't consider a particularly strong group, he was the best of the rest. Of course this was before I changed my mind about Hillary. She was my gal. But, as you know I'm cool with Obama, certainly over McCain. The Obama-Biden ticket is a strong one, IMO.

Well I'm gonna keep an eye on this thread on & off today. See how quiet it stays. Let me know if you find me...Be back later.

ILYL

I was just about to shut the computer off, glad I checked here one last time. Yeah someone else found me...

I'll be around part of the morning, then later in the evening [like after 7] visting Mom most of the day.

Catch you tomorrow I hope. Sweet dreams. Love, J2

Top of the mornin' to ya MOS (think superman),

As fate would have it I'm down here rebooking my H's return flight from Tues. to Wed.. I told him I was dropping you a line and he said not to flirt too hard. He's very secure since he know's there's no way I could go for someone who voted for "W" twice :-0), :-0). see winkie face.

I'm imaging that today will be like yesterday. Too many people, too much extraversion required (I'm only good for about 2 hours), getting hugged within an inch of my life (these people really are so nice), and the photo albumns will get whipped out again (btw I got a really cool B&W photo of my MIL dressed to the nines and one of my FIL in a fedora looking every bit like Robert Townsend). Very cool. I'm getting them restored. And of course we'll be swapping funny stories about my FIL. The dude really was crazy and funny.

Thanx for inquiring about my flight. It takes about 5 hours due to needing a connection. But everything was on time and it went well. And everybody's taking good care of me. I'll try to get here in the morning tomorrow. Bye, your little magnet girl.   

Posted by jeter2 in reply to juliajayne

Good morning my little magnet girl,

I don't know, I think your H might feel a tad insecure...after all what could be sexier to a pushy Liberal lady than the stubborn W voting Conservative gentleman she has nagged, cajoled, manipulated, charmed & browbeaten into putting an Obama-Biden bumper sticker on his fast moving Cadillac just for her. Well ok, there's no Cadillac. No bumper sticker either. But he is voting Obama-Biden...I mean that's got to be a huge turn on, eh? 

Have a safe flight home my little magnet girl. I'll check here later, & tomorrow. You know I'm stuck on you...

Your MOS.

Posted by juliajayne in reply to jeter2

Guess I can't fool you. fool :-0) At least I didn't call you an asshole again! LUV, JJ
