‘Young Turk’ to ‘sexist’ Fox News host: ‘F*ck you!’



Fox News host who joked that women have all the rights the need because they can shop got a two-word response from The Young Turks co-host Ana Kasparian on Tuesday: “Fuck you!”

Fox News co-host Greg Gutfeld on Friday ranted against the National Organization for Women (NOW) because they organized a boycott of Rush Limbaugh after he called a Georgetown University law student a “slut,” but they had not protested HBO comedian Bill Maher or CNN contributor Hilary Rosen for their remarks about conservative women.

“The only people that are in NOW are the people who work in NOW,” Gutfeld argued. “There are more women in NASCAR than NOW.”

“Perhaps they are a victim of their own success,” he added. “There not as relevant as they are anymore because, for example, women have all the rights, you know, they can shop.”

Though I always get a kick at some of the sub-titling that goes on with TYT clips. The line above becomes, "They hire clouds to make lavish arguments..."

In an odd way, this is also an accurate description of Fox talking heads.

“I love that,” she quipped. “Women have all the rights they need. They go shopping. I’m going to make an argument that misogyny doesn’t exist — that women have all the rights that they want — by making a sexist comment about them.”

“Fuck You!” Kasparian exclaimed. “That’s just what Fox News is. They hire clowns to make clownish arguments.”

my real gripe with these "boycotts" and all. Beckerwood, PedoRush, etc can be removed from the airwaves but they'll just be replaced by somebody just as bad spouting the same bullshit.

We really have to go after the puppeteers (Murdoch incorporated, Clear Channel, etc) if we really want to put an end to this fucking nonsense.

Clear channel and all big media conglomerates need to be broken up. We have anti trust laws. Let's Encourage government to use them.

Really, can't believe anyone would dare say something so sexist and outright stupid this day in age and still have a job on air. At fox it seems the more offensive the better. Which is why the whole station should go.

. . . not even in the same league.

How is it that conservatives have been able to guide the discussion so thoroughly away from the many despicable, practically obscene things his foul, defaming mouth said over a three day period? If Rush had said only that, he'd never have been in hot water.

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/03/04/1070884/-Rush-s-52-Smears-Against-Sandra-Fluke

Indeed, he regularly says things that are far worse than calling a single woman a "slut" or "whore."

(Having dumpster-size balls, and a devouring memory hole, Limbaugh has hit Kos with a Cease & Desist for copyright infringement on the vid, so you have to go here to see it):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=q1oOjKQflN0

He's also delusional. Copyright infringement suggests Limbaugh thinks he could make money with that vid.

He only apologized for those two words, apparently to plant the misinformation he was in trouble just because of them. No, he went on a scree for days against her, babbling about how much sex she was having with words like "three times a day" and at the end said women desiring birth control should post pornos "so we could all watch."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=GEl9p1tN8BI

Thus he insulted every woman. Even those in the sex industry.

Saying "fuck you" is not even in the same category as that. Nothing Bill Maher or any on-air liberal has said comes close. None have ever railed on for days on end, finalizing it with such a creepy insult to fifty percent of the population!

Really, when conservatives try to say something like, "Well Maher did the same thing," we should just laugh in their face and say, "Maher told women to post pornos for him?"

Every time "Limbaugh apologized" comes up I have to point out that he didn't, just for two words of the days-long rant.

And he's at it again, since Fluke tweeted about student loans.
