No worse than the things Bill O’Reilly have said, and I don’t recall any lawsuit brought by a woman on his staff for sexual harassment.

If women wanted to be principled, they would stop watching Bill O’Reilly.

Well done, Kirsten !

I noticed you’ve not mentioned Miss Power’s is also a liberal / democrat journalist who also happens to be a ” FOX NEWS ” contributor. Come on let’s keep it ” Fair & Balanced ” Mediaite.

RRKing agrees ! This is why I am always respectful of women .

RealRoyalKing ® explains . We want to tell our loyal fans that the reason we get so agitated when people point out the fact that we have so many screen names on this website is that when we appear as one of our other names , we become that person .

Please, YOU, THE REAL ROYAL ( pain in the …….. ) KING, know it all extraordinaire, fixture here at Mediaite warned Kirsten Powers, of ” FOX NEWS “, Fox radio, the New York Post and the Daily Beast not to ruin her reputation by associating with those charlatans over at FOX, and she foolishly ignored your advise and did so anyway……whI’m shocked.

I don’t think that it’s sexist to insult a woman’s intelligence any more than it’s sexist to call a man dumb.

What’s sexist is when you use terms, insults, and imagery particularly suited to gender, or to gender stereotypes.

Bimbo… The Breck Girl… Battle Axe…etc.

Indeed, THAT does degrade all women, and it is NOT a minor thing.

You so often know far less than you profess to know. FOX “News” has a number of female personae who are bimbos, but so does MSNBC. Contessa Brewer is truly a bimbo.

Phyllis Schlafly and Lynn Cheney are battle axes, but so are Hillary Clinton and Shelia Jackson Lee.

Tumbleweed is a Breck Girl, but so is John Edwards.

If what you say is true, Kirsten could be equally effective, if not more so than the current president of the United States of America.

“A Conservative is a heavily armed white gentleman, generally from the Southern part of America. When subjected to the company of a normal human being, (i.e. anyone who can read, or a black person), they become highly agitated. Their society is illiterate, and their main goals in life are to “get rid off all the Messicans”, stop “the homos” from gay-marryinn’, and attain double-diamond status with Amway. Their main cultural activities include finding creative uses for their bathtubs, improving their figures through drinking, and providing insightful viewpoints on the role of diversity in America today.”

Bill who? Bill Maher? Ya mean that failed actor, turned failed stand-up comic, turned failed political commentator? THAT Bill Maher? The one who looks like a foot………………….or something you “splather ointment on your foot to get OFF your foot? That guy? Yeah…………I think we should take him seriously.

She’s right. This is very sexist. The fact that they are so stupid has nothing to do with the fact that they are both women.

I think Maher is trying to get fired.

Cecelia said:

Again, you unveil your ignorance to all. I am very fond of Justices Ginsburg and Sotomayer, Senators Collins, Feinstein, Klobachur, McCaskill, Snowe, former Representatives Boggs, Harmon, Schroeder and Smith, Representatives Lowey, Norton, Sanchez and Schultz-Wasserman, former governors Granholm, Orr, Richards, Sebelius and Whitman, governors Lingle and Perdue, former Secretaries of State Allbright and Rice. All that, just off the top of my head.

And, I come from a family of strong women, my wife, my mother, my grandmothers my sisters, my aunts Vivian, Lucille, Nonnie, Mary Lou, Delight, Joyce, all of whom I adore.

I have often found that some women who are simply bossy mistake bossiness for strength and chastise men for being fearful of intimated by what they call strong women but are simply bossy. A truly strong women never need remind anyone she is strong.

This is not about all women, this is about bimbos. Hilary never got called a bimbo because she was sharp as a tack, something you can’t say about Bachmann and Palin. Kirsten’s point only makes sense if those two had half a brain.

During the campaign, Hillary was called a racist. But I think she escaped the bimbo label.

As someone who has referred to Sarah Palin as a ” whore ” and her baby grandchild as a ” bastard ” , BFD is the “go-to creep on decorum .

True . Hill really was never the trophy wife you would think .

Hillary was the original birther. So if she’s sharp as a tack, does that mean the birther argument has merit?

It’s funny how we men never claimed calling George Bush a moron degrades all men.

That would mean that Cecelia, Janet, Michelle-in-Utah and Tumbleweed would have to stop posting, and that would be an unthinkable loss.

To her credit , When Bill was caught in a lie , Hillary never whined about anyone out to get her husband :

On January 27, 1998, Hillary Clinton appeared on NBC’s The Today Show, in an interview with Matt Lauer.

Matt Lauer: “You have said, I understand, to some close friends, that this is the last great battle, and that one side or the other is going down here.”
Hillary Clinton: “Well, I don’t know if I’ve been that dramatic. That would sound like a good line from a movie. But I do believe that this is a battle. I mean, look at the very people who are involved in this — they have popped up in other settings. This is — the great story here for anybody willing to find it and write about it and explain it is this vast right-wing conspiracy that has been conspiring against my husband since the day he announced for president.”

Oh wow, now the gauntlet is down. I am licking my chops waiting for Maher’s return salvo against the Fox New bimbo, which I am certain will be deliciously vicious.

Nah, Maher likes being talked to roughly. He even pays his favorite hooker to spank him and tell him he’s been bad.

Racism and sexism share the same core root of marginalizing people to make your own sad existence seem superior. Anyone who’s confident and content feels no need to throw childish insults.

I have a feeling that Bill Maher, being a celebrity millionaire probably doesn’t have to pay for sex like you do.

Oh, yeah. If Maher is so rich, would he continue to walk around with a nose like that?

One needs to consult the dictionary…. Bimbo: a woman regarded as vacuous (lacking intelligence) or as having an exaggerated interest in her sexual appeal. The definition fits Palin and Bachmann perfectly – neither is intelligent and both use their looks to further their position (if either wasn’t so good looking, they’d have been dropped long ago – see “Sarah Palin Voted Ultimate Fantasy Cougar in Survey of Younger Men” – we haven’t heard any whining about this because it’s about Sarah’s sexual attraction instead of her ditzy brain – this is a double standard).http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/g/a/2011/03/23/prweb5182674.DTL

BUT Maher’s comments do NOT insult all women and the writer is wrong to say so. I think Maher is wrong to compare Mary Anne (from Gilligan’s Island) with either of these two ditzes, but I get the joke.

What amazes me is that some people actually watch and applaud this whacked out loon.

Since when has the left ever said that if you insult one person in a certain group, that means you hate the entire group?

writer said:

You know Mr. Maher’s mother is Jewish. Am I to assume that this was an anti-Semitic slur?

So King, if I say Maher has a big nose, you immediately assume I’m talking about all Jews. That sounds very anti-Semitic.

Goldie Hawn and Jane Seymour are Jewish, and they have cute little noses. You must be biased against Jews, King.

Sure you do, King. When I said Maher has a big nose (which he does), you turned it into a Jewish discussion. If you don’t believe all Jews have big noses, then why would you do that?

Of course, I can think of someone besides yourself who is very anti-Semitic, but you can’t talk about him because he isn’t ‘present’.

What does it say about the “men” that agree with Maher? Much.

This might be a tough one for Maher, being portrayed as a MCP who is disrespecting to women. If it was a bunch of “teabaggers” complaining about how his jokes everyone would laugh them off as whacko but this might strike a nerve with Maher.

Actually, Maher has taken his public misogyny a step further, referring to Sara Palin by using the dreaded “C” word last Sunday in Dallas.

I’m all for free speech but it does make me wonder why someone consistently attempts to belittle someone else. I think it reflects very poorly on the individual.

Did you hear what Palin said today about illegals in this country. She doesn’t want to deport them, she wants them to succeed. LOL Isn’t that the dumbest thing anyone has ever said. I bet Mediaite will do a story on that.

Wait a minute, it wasn’t Palin that said that stupid statement, it was Obama. I guess we won’t get a story about that on Mediaite.

President Barack Obama on Monday told a student who has received a deportation notice that he does not want to deport her — he wants people like her to succeed.

The exchange happened during a town hall event sponsored by the Spanish-language television network Univision at a Washington, D.C., school.

A student, who appeared via Skype, asked: “My question for the president is, why [is the government] saying that deportations have stopped — or the detention of many students like me, why is it that we are still receiving deportation letters like this one?”

Obama answered, “We have redesigned our enforcement practices under the law to make sure that we’re focusing primarily on criminals, and so our deportation of criminals are up about 70 percent. Our deportation of non-criminals are down, and that’s because we want to focus our resources on those folks who are destructive to the community.

“And for a young person like that young woman that we just spoke to who’s going to school, doing all the right things, we want them to succeed,” Obama said.

Maher says Palin and Bachmann are Ginger and Mary Ann. What Maher doesn’t understand is that people liked Gilligan’s Island and they liked Mary-Ann and Ginger. Following Maher’s logic that would make him that lovable idiot Gilligan, without the lovable part I would think. Obama must be one of the head hunters lurking in the jungle.

Bachman and Palin are a step back for women politicians!

The ONLY reason Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin are so popular DESPITE thier consistent errors, gaffes and blunders is because Joe Middle America thinks they are attractive…PERIOD. Their politics are besides the point. A prime example is this video.
TEA PARTY IDOL.
Finally accepting the fact that they make mistakes and aren’t perfect, the Tea Party is attempting to appeal to the American Idol demographic with a music video.
The Michele Bachmann Trio sings “We know we weren’t perfect” from her album Conservative as I wanna be on the newly formed Tea Party Records label.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjcmZtqidQk
Even though this is a parody poking fun at Michele Bachman I bet there are those that will think it is a really promo video despite the historically inaccurate babble Comments on similar videos usually include remarks about how hot she is or how sexy her voice is. She can make the most ridiculous statement and the Tea Party drones will just keep fawning over her regardless of the fact that in doing so they are voting against their own interests.

Um, I would calm down with that talk, I’ve read comments from you about the Ivy League…

Maher’s a sissy pants left wing troll-why does anybody listen to this little bitch?

Everyone should be against discounting a woman by calling her a tw*t or a c*nt. You’d think such a super smart leftist like Maher could actually take on Palin through substantive arguments instead of derogatory slurs.

But usually when a man’s life ambition is to objectify plasticized fake bimbos at the Playboy Mansion, you know he doesn’t have a healthy, loving view of women in general.

WOW ! Even a lunatic-left d-crat socialist can’t stomach the slime from the #1 SEWER RAT of the socialist media, maher.

If political debates and discussion were held on radio so all we had to go by is their words these two would have been dismissed a long time ago. Image does matter. When Kennedy and Nixon debated, those who heard the radio broadcast felt Nixon won the debate but those watched the TV broadcast felt Kennedy did. Obviously that itself is up for debate but the fact Nixon was sweating like pig under the TV lights sure didn’t help his image.
I am not concerned with Bachmann’s education, I am concerned with her ignorance of history and acute/ habitual case of foot in mouth disease.

Bachman graduated from William & Mary Law School and is living proof that one can do that degree of academic back ground and still not have a clear understanding of American History or the US Constitution. Just ask the founding fathers whom she claimed were trying to abolish slavery. Still…I’ll bet she’s great in bed!

Not so many – just a definition of the slang (Maher was correct), and the results of what happens when a good looking female is promoted based on looks alone. If you get read many responses on Palin boards, few (none) base support for Sarah on her plans to fix issues (because she only points out what’s wrong), and MANY talk about how we need “beautiful, etc” Sarah as president.

As far as Maher insulting ALL women, that’s completely wrong. I don’t care for raunchy humor, but I’m sure many women were laughing at the joke. Palin and Bachmann are insults to intelligent, hard-working women who get where they are because of accomplishments (you see this posted by women).

It all goes both ways… though Sarah doesn’t use such foul language (“bastards” is not so bad).

First of all there is no such thing as a political analyst in the fox sewer. Kirsten Powers is a right-wing propagandist who has it wrong. Palin and Bachmann’s staggering ignorance are degrading to all women. They are the products of the right-wing that serves its rich benefactors and mocks those who are dumb enough to bend over and spread their cheeks.

You are one sick misogynist ass. And delusional as hell. Do you work for Media Matters, by any chance? Why don’t you go back to watching the corporatist bend-over-and-take-it at msnbc where all they do is spout Dem Party talking points and genuflect at the altar of Obomba. You know, where the hypocrite-sellouts work.

I bet you really like it when women you disagree with are called the c word. You get off on it, right? Do you also like to call black people you disagree with the ‘n’ word. If they don’t agree with your politics no sexist or racist name-calling is beneath you.

They certainly aren’t the caliber of Geraldine Ferraro.

Fox is playing the “bimbo card” just like they often use the race card.
Crying “foul” does not change the constant stream of nonsense from either “bimbo.”

Bimbo, c**t, is there any sexist slur you libs won’t use? Do you also call blacks you disagree with the n word?

“Palin and Bachmann are insults to intelligent, hard-working women who get where they are because of accomplishments (you see this posted by women).”

I don’t care what gender posted this, it’s a cynical gamesmanship that plays on the old sexist canard that the pretty girl had to use her looks in order to get where she is.

Keep in mind that this is being said by partisans who are only too glad to ignore the fact that not every pretty girl has the gumption…brains…etc. to get elected to congress or to a governorship.

Most astoundingly, in order to throw rocks, these partisans are only too willing to insult voters as having the depth of a thirteen year old.

It’s perfectly debatable to claim that neither Palin, nor Bachmann, have lived up to their offices and that they are in no way qualified for the job of POTUS.

You can do THAT without having to make sexist cheapshots that play upon stereotypes.

You most certainly can oppose these women without having to utter statements that make the Taliban look feminist in comparison.

Mahar is a typical lib.

Kirsten is wrong on this one because of the things Palin and Bachman say are not something 98% of the average woman would say much less believe. Plus they put themselves out there call everyone else names. Maher did cross the line when he call Palin the c—–word. I mean, there are countless other names Palin could and should be called but not that. That was inappropiate. Other than that Bill Maher is the best. He is excellent with satire and as everyone knows there is truth in the satire or it wouldn’t be funny. Keep going Bil!

Point taken and said well.

Hey Greta and Kirsten,
I got news for you. Palin and Bachman demean and degrade the President and they aren’t doing it out of comedy. That’s ok though. right?
The right-wing hypocrits never cease to amaze me.

I agree the c—word, n—word aren’t a part of comedy and should not be said. Bimbo? What’s wrong with that? Especially when it’s true.

This video reminds me of some of the great lines from the Donald Trump Roast on Comedy Central: Whitney Cummings to Donald Trump: “You have given more uneducated whores on-camera jobs than Fox News.” Lisa Lampanelli to Seth MacFarlane: “Seth, I love your work. I particularly love that weird baby you made with the enormous football-shaped head. Oh, sorry, that was for my Sarah Palin roast.” BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!

Hey, I can’t wait until all those old Donald Trump and Howard Stern radio interviews hit the airwaves! Trump won’t know where to hide!

Damn, Kirsten Powers is hot!

I give you two icons of the “Golden Age of Television”. Buddy Hackett and Phyllis Diller’
They were on every show on every network. Everybody loved them.
Their Vegas’ shows were X-Rated.
Redd Foxx was loved in “Sanford & Son”. HIS stage act could not be aired for its language.
Comedians adjust their show to the audience. Grow up. Get over it.
Ask Eddie Murphy about, “The Bear and the Rabbit”.

Glenn, cold showers will give you a taste of what’s in store for you.

I don’t think any reasonable person would argue that most of Greta’s points were baseless.

But we do have to keep in mind that FNC favs Dennis Miller, Rush Limbaugh and to a lesser extent Greg Gutfeld have all been guilty of some pretty cruel misogynistic remarks.

It would have been interesting to have the debate at a neutral ‘women’s forum’ so Greta would have had to defend people featured on her own network.

OMG she’s playing the “waa waa waa, mom, he’s being mean to me” card.

I think Ms. Powers put too many words in there…. that headline should read…

Kirsten Powers On Bill Maher: Bachmann, Palin Are Degrading To ‘All Women’

Since the last presidential election, I have been constantly INSULTED by the insinuation that Palin and Bachmann represent what “all women” should aspire to be…. in fact, THEY and their public portrayal of women are the real insult.

For me, the bottom line – and I say this as a woman – is that it is PERFECTLY OBVIOUS that Palin in particular [can't call Bachmann a beauty, can we?] is a dumb twit. She is TOO STUPID to convince intelligent women who read and work at what they do to vote for her. She does everything as a reactionary, “Oh, I’m just a dumb twit of a woman” pose. This sickens me. I am not surprised she gets the slurs. Men support her – and make fun of her – because they can feel comfortable – and justified – that she’s never going to bring a sensible logical argument to the table. This is a woman who argues that breast-feeding for babeis is bad, so long as the president’s wife is promoting it.

I genuinely believe Mahler had no intention of insulting WOMEN. He was just deriding Palin and Bachmann. And as I have said in another post, neither of these women represent intelligent modern women in any more than a superficial way i.e. clothing and hair.

You know, Lotsof Hypocrites out there… lots of comedians, eg. Eddie Murphy made their name on the basis of how they used these “taboo” words….. most I can say is maybe tv is going back to the 70s?

I guess it’s only Republicans who get to call pple everything but a Child of God and it’s OK….

Yet ANOTHER story on Maher.

Cecelia said:
What’s sexist is when you use terms, insults, and imagery particularly suited to gender, or to gender stereotypes.

Aside from Maher using a bad word, this whole thing has been blown out of proportion. If you take the world’s greatest victim (Sarah Palin) out of the picture, and consider some man who is a loudmouth, always cutting down and name-calling people who don’t bow to his point of view, and never offering a solution to anything because he’s full of crap instead of knowledge, you’d call the guy a total d/ck or complete pr/ck. This is no different except the loudmouth is female – same type person getting called the gender appropriate name.

Cecelia said:

What you say is a cop out. Palin and Bachmann, with their constant criticism without solution, and constant flubbs of facts and numbers, certainly didn’t get where they are by intelligence. I’m not saying they boned anyone to get where they are, I’m just saying that if they were “average looking” (like Hillary Clinton) or “not good looking” (like Janet Reno) they’d never be where they are today. If either worked at my company as an executive, they’d be fired after giving one presentation with such blown facts, finger-pointing, and name-calling. Clinton and Reno are far above Palin or Bachmann.

Who do you think the hottest conservative chick is? I think that teabagger chick, Dana Loesch has them all beat by a mile. But I do like Kirsten Powers. She just has that sexy kinda dominant Mistress look about her. Yeah, I know whatever turns you on. Well, that does.

If you’re in to silicone and Botox, Kirsten is the one for you.
Just don’t try to match the carpet to the drapes.

Just degrading to Bill Maher, if he could be degraded further.

Why, on earth, is a man inferring that two individual women are unintelligent, sexist and degrading to all women, but a woman inferring that a man is unintelligent, is not “sexist” or “degrading” to all men? Sara Palin, just the other day, inferred that Maher was like a pesky mosquito that needs to be swatted. Why is that not sexist and degrading to all men?

Maher is a professional vulgarian. He is, as Powers said, an equal-opportunity offender.

What he is not, is Jerry Seinfeld. Nor does he pretend to be or (I’m pretty sure) want to be.

Also, let’s be real. Maher despises Palin and Bachmann for reasons he considers adequate. He doesn’t hate them for being female, but because he considers them frauds, fools, hypocrites, and haters.

If you’re female I suppose you could feel that some guy hating two people who happen to be female degrades your entire gender, but if you do, I think you risk being considered unserious.

Maher wasn’t being degrading to all women he was just telling the truth about these two mental midgets.

No, Kirsten – you have it wrong. An accurate statement is that ‘You, Bachmann and Palin Are Degrading To ‘All Women’

If ANYONE is disrespecting ALL WOMEN it’s Powers as she puts them in the same class as Palin and Bachmann.

I know women who would tell someone to “eff off” and walk away if called a cussword name (if it didn’t apply – if it did, they’d get defensive), but if they were called a “Sarah Palin” or a “Michele Bachmann” they’d probably kill the name-caller.

Because it DOESN’T apply to all men anymore than Maher’s comment applies to all women. Excellent point.

I like Powers her only problem is she is too attractive to be a democrat.

Yeah when I think of champions of women, defenders of the fairer sex, chivalrous heroes to females far and wide, the first guy who comes to mind is The Playboy Mansion Troll……….

Now , after reading these comments I know that all the commenters with numbers like “chris87654″ and another
like “glenn113″, are all crims in solitary because their views are of those that are not allowed to see life on the outside.If you know someone who says swearwords and you accept it in mixed company ,then I feel sorry for you, and especially for your kids.There is NO reason to denegrate any female for any reason. I swear,but not in mixed company and I would like to think I treat all females as ladies.You cannot accept some and not others.It just makes you a bigot with no repect for others. I hope you would defend your wife from slander and if you do,you should extend the courtesy to all ladies. Thankyou.

Your comment makes no sense. You are setting up a strawman arguement that is baseless. Sarah speaks the truth. She has FACTS to back her up. She more class in her anus than Ma-Her has all together. Anyone that defends Ma-Her is as mindlessly FULL OF HATE, INTOLERANCE, IMMATURITY& IGNORANCE as Ma-Her does.

I knew there was a reason I never pay attention to Bill Maher. When words like this come out of his mouth to describe any woman, I cease to listen since there is no longer anything intelligent coming out of his moutn. He doesn’t need to be so vulgar. It is unacceptable and petty.

Bottomline… These women are degrading to humanity.
