This is a new low. You didn't even post a boring article, just a stupid image macro.

This is where an awesome Mark Twain quote would be, but Apolyton says it would be too many lines. :(

As it turns out, Fox really is reporting on "the left's war on women"

So?

I don't know, I was surprised that the image macro made any sense at all.

Isn't this just parroting Romney's newest attack on the current admin.
The OT at APOLYTON is like watching the Special Olympics. Certain people try so hard to debate despite their handicaps.

I want to know where Romney got his numbers. 93% of jobs lost were women?
Even if you were trying to do that, I don't think you could make it happen.

After some Googling I think this will explain it:

Women account for most of the net loss in employment during the Obama administration. Of course, men were much further in the hole when Obama took office so this is hardly remarkable.
Actually it simply reinforces the concept that people have exited and not returned to the job market. The decision to remain a one income family until such time as the hiring picks up and mom decides to take a stab at becoming the second income earner is the most likely scenario.

The Fox News articles are boring - they basically just parrot right-wing talking points. It's the comments sections where the real *******s shine.

Here's the real reason Republicans are desperate to blunt the "war on women" claim Democrats have used so effectively on them:
http://www.langerresearch.com/upload...tionUpdate.pdf
It's from earlier this week and show's Obama over Romney among women by +19 points. In 2008 Obama only had +8 among women, who are the largest voting block in the country, yet he still soundly beat McCain so now that the margin is +19 Republicans are shitting their pants because they know this won't just lose the presidential election for them but lots of down ticket races as well. If that 19 point margin doesn't change they're looking at a ****ing bloodbath this Nov.
It turns out women really are pissed off at the GOP and they really do feel that the GOP is attacking women's rights. Male Republican talking heads can deny Republicans are attacking women's rights but women sure do feel that's exactly what they're doing and I can't blame them. With the loony fringe Republicans trying to remove birth control coverage from health insurance plans, trying to pass "life begins at conception" bills which would ban the birth control pill, demanding women be be forced to have their vaginas probed, trying to repeal equal pay for equal work rules for women, and a host of other stuff...
The best thing the GOP could do for themselves is muzzle their loony fringe and at least pretend to care about doing something about jobs but they won't; they'll continue doing what they've been doing for the last three years. Deliberately trying to make the economy worse while pushing a far right social agenda especially against women. Women see that and don't like it thus the MASSIVE shift in the poll numbers and why the GOP has become so desperate they're pushing garbage like the OP. We're talking true desperation here.

Fox is particularly bad due to the people who frequent Fox. This has long been known and documented; Media Matters has been documenting it for years.

Apolyton isn't worth the effort - all I'd get is lot of posts like "well I'm sure that MSNBC also contains dozens of 'kill all niggers' comments in response to the Trayvon Martin homicide; I'm so certain, in fact, that I'm not going to bother verifying my claim." Hell, it's already happened within twenty minutes.
"Equally retarded," I'll buy that. "Equally racist, violent, and insane," no - Fox only falls short of Stormfront.

Romney is behind by 19 points among women and ahead by 8 points among men... that's incredible.

I'm actually shocked you take the time to read the comment section of news sites, loin.

Like I said, they're often more entertaining than the actual news article. (Though the news article probably isn't intended to be entertaining, at least not in the same way as the comments section.) I've got a google news feed on my homepage, and sometimes an article will show up that really makes me want to find out what the Fox News comments section has to say on the subject. I used to check out other news sites' comments sections, but they're extremely dull compared to Fox News - they've hardly got any racial slurs or applause for murder. (As a recent example, when a US soldier murdered several Afghan civilians last month, the prevailing attitude in other news sites' comments sections was "that sucks," whereas the prevailing attitude in the Fox News comments section was "the soldier deserves a medal, too bad he didn't murder more of those sand niggers.")
Edit: US soldier accused of shooting Afghans, reportedly killing at least 16. The comments section has since been deleted, but I copy-pasted a few of the comments beforehand:Originally Posted by ljzippy

Obama didn't lose among men and it doesn't make sense to say that the results among women will determine the election. That certainly didn't happen in 2000 or 2004.

Hmm, 49%. I suppose I was thinking among white men, it has been 3+ years. The numbers are close and the no answer column means it could have swung either way, I guess.
