Fox News claims Democrats invented the war on women because of the stimulus bill

[CatWoman]

The Fox News Channel is not known as the most reliable source of news and information, but their audience of right wing conservatives live and die with every word that comes out of every hosts mouth. Whether it's the morning crew on Fox and Friends or all the way through to the prime time hour with Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly, conservatives take the word of Fox News as gospel.

On Monday morning on Fox and Friends, host Steve Doocy, claimed that President Obama and the Democrats are making up the war on women because of the "alleged" lack of success of the stimulus bill. Media Matters provides the video for the quote below.

"The stimulus didn't work out so well, he's got a lot of problems. So in the last couple of months, what they have done, the democrats, is they have invented this phony war on women. They say Republicans are against women, there's not really a war on women, there's a war for women because they would like to have as many women vote for their candidate.

2. Steve Doocy pulls more things out of his ass and flings them

than the monkeys at the DC zoo! I think there is just too much evidence, especially in the past
few months to say there is a 'phony' war on women. Nothing phoney about it, it is fact.

Found this post on TALKINGPOINTSMEMO in response to young Doocy

6. I would say that these things add up to a war on women.

Each and every one of these items is infuriating, but all together they add up to a war on women. Women should NEVER support republican candidates.

Thanks for that list, even though it did raise my blood pressure.

Peace!

12. That sure sums it all up

Did the Dems make them do all of that? No. But I guess they did point out what the GOP was doing.

3. Fox News also claims to be a news organization

[chowder66]

4. Fox News, handing out free money to America's least talented.

..."there's not really a war on women, there's a war FOR women because they would like to have as many women vote for their candidate."??????

My jaw just took a trip to the earth's core.

5. There is no war on women and neo-nazis are a civil rights group

according to Fox:

This crap is now coming so fast it's hard to keep up.

7. Can we get DOJ to speed up the investigations on Rupert Murdoch

and speed up the demise of a propaganda network?

Sell off the assets, pay it back to the U.S. taxpayers as repatriation to listening to his propaganda machine. $10,000 tax-free dollars to each individual should do it.

8. And to think these people breed.

10. They're the ones that totally control their primary process

They could have talked about anything they wanted. They choose to talk about abortion and contraceptives. Certainly not Obama. If Obama can control the stupid stuff that comes out of Santorum and Romney's mouth, I figure the GOP might as well give up on this election now.

11. Fox news is not a real news orgainization, that is why Repukes

seem so stupid and out of touch in real life.

13. The Fox News Party

The GOP, as we knew it, vanished in 2008. In 2010, the Fox News Party, won sweeping victories across the nation.

Since then, we have seen outright war against workers, the poor, the elderly, minorities, and women.

In response we have seen a grassroots rise from those affected. Everything from occupy to the NAACP to women's groups have become activated and inspired. Apathy is giving way to political discourse.

It is perfectly fine with me if the Fox News Party wants to label them as Democrats.

Message to Fox News: Liberal is no longer a dirty word.

16. Absolutely

I think that is why I am noticing a lot of women I know who were formerly rather apolitical/apathetic seriously discussing politics and identifying as liberals. The GOP has exposed itself for what it is and women have noticed.

15. Yeah, Douchey...

Because if its one thing women REALLY love its being told the attacks she notices being waged on her are all in her head
