Jim Quinn: Steinem opposes Palin because Palin "declined to slaughter her own unborn child, Trig, to the goddess of feminism"

Summary: On his radio show, Jim Quinn claimed that Gloria Steinem opposes Gov. Sarah Palin because Palin "refused the sacrificial right of passage, better known as the Eucharist of the feminist church: abortion. That's right. She declined to slaughter her own unborn child, Trig, to the goddess of feminism, even after doctors told her that he was one of those Down syndrome 'throw-aways.' "

Or, could it be because the Palindrone Twit is a regressive Evangelical Troglodyte who is nothing more than a talking points parrot for the knuckledragging fascists who have taken over the Republican party?

She's their second coming, the savior, and the almighty rolled into one.

Obama Pictures and McCain Pictures

DOH!

Is that my grandmother's old housecoat Palin's wearing?

How Many Screaming Yellow Zonkers box tops did your granny need for that housecoat, WK?

Thank God they didn't show her slippers.

I'm sick of the free publicity this pair of haters is getting courtesy of MMFA. Anyone else notice that as the odds of a McCain win decrease, the blither factor on blithering idiots increases?

Posted by nerzog in reply to mrhebert74

The Talk Radio Troglodytes are secretly salivating.  They know that, if Obama wins, it will be good for the Hate Radio business.  Rush Limbaugh would have faded into well-deserved obscurity of George H.W. Bush had won in 1992.  

Posted by Col. Harlan Sanders in reply to mrhebert74

Yeah, they all seem to be getting noticably more batshllt crazy than their usual state of crazy.

I don't know what evidence these knuckleheads have as to what Steinem bases her political support on. I can only speak for myself, and since I've been clearly outed as an "abortion fanatic" at this very site, I will admit that the only reason I don't suport the brilliant and qualified Palin is because of her refusal to support women eating their own fetuses.

I have to stand by my principles.

A Class 5 Sh*t storm is bearing down upon us. Let us give thanks for the largess about to be dumped upon our heads. 

Posted by snoopy in reply to eweston8542983

Amen, brother ewe! BTW, looks like the republican plan to return to the good ol' reagan years is finally working. The DOW only needs to drop another 1000 points to get there...

Posted by anotheramerican in reply to mrhebert74

mrh,

I agree. Who are these guys?

On the other hand, it is feeding red meat to all our friends here who get to express their daily moral indignation for the umpteenth time.

Posted by Col. Harlan Sanders in reply to anotheramerican

I agree. Who are these guys? (AA)

They're you without the filter.

Posted by Brabantio in reply to Col. Harlan Sanders

That's true.  Quinn is essentially making the argument that Steinem is "pro-abortion", which is an argument AA has made several times.  He must be agreeing with the "hater" classification based on something else.

Posted by Col. Harlan Sanders in reply to Brabantio

    I always find it amusing when people are horrified at seeing a more honest version of themselves.

    

 I personally have more respect for the fruitcakes who proudly display their hate and fear than for the milquetoasts like AA who try to cover it up with happy face emoticons and bullsh*t platitudes.

Feminists don't give a rats ass what Palin does with her own body. This is the most idiotic argument I've ever heard.

Posted by SDL

Yeah, but Palin doesn't mind sacrificing unborn Itaqi kids....

Posted by worrierking in reply to SDL

They should change their catch phrase about the culture of life to the culture of fetal life.

They care about the health of fetuses but not children.

They care about fetuses but not innocent civilian children caught up in wars.

And they chant "kill him" when Fräulein Palin is firing up the loyal party members with lies about Obama.

Posted by Brabantio

Morons.  It's called "pro-choice" because women should have a choice.  That means nobody wants anyone to have an abortion, much less demands it as some sort of "right [sic*] of passage".

*It's "rite of passage", to anyone with editing powers.  Just saying.

Can we get a retroactive abortion for Jim Quinn???

Posted by princeofwheels in reply to wzwriter

The problem is that Quinny wasn't born of human DNA. His hate-pickled brain will be his curse. I have sent these articles to the local chapter of NOW and they are looking into his hatred and lies. Let's see how Jimmy the Weasal acts when the heat is on!!!! Just like his harrassment of a fellow employee. Here's a big shout out to Quinny and the Christian.

Posted by proudconservative in reply to princeofwheels

Lordofphlats,

Today's two-for has to be killing you.  Knowing that Quinn has put your liberal radio station on 24 hr swap/barter format and with his ratings and national following has to cut you to the quick. 

No matter, you have gotta love Donnie Iris as bumper music.  He's a local there in Pittsburgh, isn't he?

Posted by princeofwheels in reply to proudconservative

PC, how nice of you to notice...it is up to three now. You must understand that listening to these two is a joy during the morning drive. Their inane BS makes me realize that I am not the dumbest person on earth. I always know there are two people beneath me. These people are considered clowns in these parts and get a chuckle out of their nonsense. This is very hurtful to Quinn and the Christian because they think they are doing the world a public service.

As far as another radio station, Q and R were up against the shrilly one, Laura Ingraham, which I think has been sliced. The only show missing around here is Hartmann. Everything else is Con radio and they still can't get the vote out for McCain. They are on an all-out blitz but they are always a day behind. But seeing Hartmann go away was a blessing for Limbaugh. Hartmann was beating him in the ratings.  But you are correct about Donnie Iris. Keep in touch.

This guy looks old enough to be John McCain's father.

He looks like a mother to me.

Good to see the crazies coming out of the freakin' woodwork now. Amazing, truly and utterly amazing. And seriously, Palin is looking more and more unhinged with her "gosh darn it" Barack Obama is a terrorist speeches every single day. I hope Obama's security is triple what McCain and Palin's is, because honestly, I'm starting to get scared about what will happen to him when he's elected President. I'm pretty sure there is a Freeper or 2 out there who wouldn't mind attempting an assassination on him. Scary indeed...

Can anyone explain why Palin underwent an amniocentesis (a procedure with a significant risk to the fetus) if she was not going to have an abortion under any conditions?

Posted by mary59 in reply to rtwmd1230

Those procedures are urged upon women as if they were harmless.  I have a friend who was talked into getting an amnio against her better judgment, and lost the child as a result.  She was pretty devastated. 

I refused any and all testing but then I'm not normal.  My three kids were all born at home with midwives in attendance.  For a low risk pregnancy, much safer than going to a hospital, IMO

Posted by mr. l in reply to mary59

Word to your experiences... I was in Fairbanks from 2000-2007 and the local hospital there almost killed my oldest boy on a simple matter of prescribing a pain drug for an adult to an infant, luckily caught by an observant bystander.  Also, no shots, no problems.

Posted by snoopy in reply to mary59

That's pretty cool. My wife works for the Austin Area Birthing Center, they do natural child birthing there. She really enjoys it!

Posted by mary59 in reply to snoopy

Mr. l, good catch.  No shots, no problems, same with us...

Snoop, high fives to you and your wife.

I'm more interested in knowin why, when she knew she was in a high-risk pregnancy that after her water broke in Texas, she stayed there to deliver a speech, boarded a 12-hour flight back to Alaska, and THEN went to the hospital to give birth.

On second thought, since that chain of events is so far-fetched, maybe that proves that Child #5 is actually Grandchild #1.....

Posted by nerzog in reply to wzwriter

That story doesn't wash for me, either, but I guess we'll never know for sure.

I was hoping someone would look into it, but Palindrone's blithering idiocy has apparently precluded any further curiosity on that matter.

Posted by rtwmd1230

Change that to: and THEN drove for two hours in a car with no medical attention, passing two of the largest hospitals in Alaska, to deliver at Green Acres General, which has NO neonatal intensive care services.

MEDIA MATTERS...After listening to the Looney Quinn for 15 minutes today, I am hoping that this site leaves the poor man alone. He is ready to commit the "Dutch Act" (suicide). He is down to the bottom of the barrel blaming the Republicans for running a Gerald Ford campaign. The "poor" man is crying about the Dems taking shows like his off the air. What he doesn't realize is that shows like his, Seannie the Sissy and the Rushbos have fueled the fire of the Liberals to get involved. Liars can only lie if people believe them. The Republicans are removing the blinders due to the alternate view which the Libs could never get across.

Quinn, I am sure that one of your listeners will have work for you when you are eliminated from the airwaves. Then you can sit around and still have an audience. And Rose can pal around with Seannie the Sissy.

Why is it these people always characterize NOW women as ugly? Oh, yeah, women have just a couple of purposes, eye candy being one of them. Funny how they've forgotten that Ms. Steinem gained attention by applying for and securing a job as A PLAYBOY BUNNY in order to write an article on them. I doubt they would have hired her if she looked like a bodybuiling nazi or a decrepit crone!
