Hannity Continues The Fox War On National Organization For Women

Posted by Ellen -7842.60pc on July 02, 2014 · Flag

Monday night, The O’Reilly Factor deliberately belittled the National Organization for Women by trolling their conference and harassing attendees with sexist, denigrating comments. Last night, it was the Hannity show’s turn, via a “debate” about “some of the most outrageous rhetoric” from the left” – which just happened to solely include comments from NOW president Terry O’Neill.

Hannity chose for his debate the ever hate-filled and hate mongering Dana Loesch. Loesch seems to particularly despise feminists. On The Kelly File in April, she sneered that she didn’t know the goal of another feminist conference other than “to raise up the next generation of women into old cat ladies.” She added, “It was like watching Mean Girls with less attractive women. …You don’t have to “get” progressives. They “get” themselves.” She's a charmer, alright.

Not surprisingly, Loesch brought her special brand of hostility to this segment. She started off with a condescending response to the other guest, former NOW president Patricia Ireland. “So the idea that women are somehow being denied anything – Look, my rights have not changed after this ruling, Sean, and women who work for Hobby Lobby, they still have access to birth control, as provided by Hobby Lobby,” Loesch said.

That’s not quite true, as this article in Time explains and as Ireland tried to explain. But, predictably, Hannity did not challenge Loesch. In fact, he validated her. “That’s the point… Can’t you respect somebody’s deeply-held religious views?” he asked Ireland.

But Ireland barely got a chance to answer before Loesch interrupted to scold her. When Ireland objected and asked to be allowed to speak, Loesch said, “I’ll correct you.” Later, she said, “I’m going to educate you.” Like I said, a charmer.

After Loesch got another good bit of time to rant, Hannity interrupted to say, “We’ve gotten both sides in” and ended the discussion.

Ireland barely got the chance to speak.

And then people like Hannity and Loesch complain about people saying there’s a right-wing war on women.

Watch the war on feminism below.

If Hobby Lobby were owned by Muslims instead of Christians, these Fox “News” cafeteria Catholics, and that no-talent bimbette, Loesch would not sitting there on their fat behinds defending the Lobby. They would attack the company as anti-women, and anti-American.

Hannocchio is full of it.

@thx4 fish. Good point. As more employers use alleged religious beliefs to deny employee medical coverage, the push for single-payer universal health care will accelerate.

Terry O’Neill was getting her points across quickly and clearly, so of course Hannity and Loesch needed to keep talking over her, lest people watching Hannity get both sides of the story-oops! The rights of corporations trumping the rights of women (and federal law) is the bottom line here. And no amount of spin is going to change the impact on women – financially and emotionally. I do feel betrayed by the SCOTUS decision.

There is no way such a broad idea as a deeply held religious conviction can be limited to just women’s birth control. But I hope that this idiotic decision will eventually lead to employers getting out of their employees health care by way of universal health care.

And they wonder why we think there's a right-wing war on women!
