On the June 11 broadcast of San Francisco radio station KSFO's The Lee Rodgers Program, host Lee Rodgers said: "he historical voting records show that Democrats have, historically, enjoyed a huge advantage in women voters. Why is that?" Rodgers continued: "Well, some women may be offended by this, but here's another dose of reality. We have a lot of women in this country who get knocked up and they don't have a husband. In effect, the government becomes Daddy in terms of paying the bills. And that accounts -- that's not all of it, but that accounts for a large part of that vote."

From the June 11 broadcast of KSFO's The Lee Rodgers Program:

RODGERS: I wonder what's going to happen with women voters going into this election. Now, the historical voting records show that Democrats have, historically, enjoyed a huge advantage in women voters. Why is that? Well, some women may be offended by this, but here's another dose of reality. We have a lot of women in this country who get knocked up and they don't have a husband. In effect, the government becomes Daddy in terms of paying the bills. And that accounts -- that's not all of it, but that accounts for a large part of that vote.

1. That's despicable

So basically, women are Democrats because we are all single mothers and only men can pay the bills? That's disgusting! This is the kind of sexism everyone should be outraged about.

2. Do people actually listen to KSFO?

I haven't bothered with it since the SF Giants and KSFO parted ways, or Al Collins laid out the truths of the universe from the depths of The Purple Grotto. It really was a fantastic station at one time, but now it's nothing but insidious claptrap.
