Donald Trump Raging at Megyn Kelly After She Calls Him Out for Ugly Misogyny

“You call women you don’t like ‘fat pigs,’ ‘dogs’ and ‘disgusting animals’”

Donald Trump is angry at Megyn Kelly today, because she had the temerity to call him out for his many ugly misogynistic comments. (I’m not much of a fan of Kelly, but it took some guts to do this; good on her.)

In the video above, notice how the Fox News audience laughs and cheers as Kelly recites some of Trump’s nasty comments, and note how they cheer and applaud when Trump replies to Kelly by whining that America is getting too “politically correct.”

This is such classic bullying behavior, and it’s striking how much a right wing audience enjoys it. This is Donald Trump’s appeal to the right, no doubt about it.

UPDATE at 8/7/15 11:39:50 am by Charles Johnson

DERPThe Stupidest Man on the Internet, like a good little tool of the far right, is also raging away at Megyn Kelly today, posting a petition calling for her to be “banned” from hosting any more Fox debates:

Enough Is Enough=- Petition Started to Ban FOX’s Megyn Kelly From Hosting Any Further GOP Debates - the Gateway Pundit

Well, gee, fellas, maybe we wimmins have had enough of the bullshit.

And maybe it’s not only “Liberal Feminazis.” Maybe even the women who “know their place,” are not willing to sit there and take it. And maybe, just maybe, we have the power now to call you out on it. Publically. When you don’t expect it, when you think you’re safe and warm in an echo chamber….or wrapped in the gentlemen’s civility of the Senate.

And maybe we just don’t feel like being sweet and gentle about it and giving your ego a way to make it look like you’re doing us a favor by letting us speak.

Nope. Welcome to the reality of strong women with a voice and no fear. We may just have one of them as PRESIDENT here shortly. Dear God!

It’s like watching the battle scenes from “Gladiator” … only all the characters are randomly vicious toddlers running around with no organization at all, just ripping into each other, and then collapsing to the sand and crying & screeching the moment someone gives them a boo-boo.

Sure, there’s morbid entertainment value here, but as a country, I think we should avert our eyes and not encourage them any more by giving them more attention. Put them all into time-out until they grow up.

I suppose that’s one way to convince themselves.

The problem with a general abortion ban with an exception to “save the life of the mother” is that when a life-threatening situation appears, there is no time to get court orders and approvals, the condition can deteriorate rapidly unless immediate steps are taken.

So wait - if it’s a person at the moment (it’s a process, really) of fertilization, doesn’t that mean that it was still a person when it implanted in the fallopian tube instead of the uterus? And that it’s still a person when it starts killing its mother?

I have heard Wingnuts argue that God doesn’t waste souls on ectopic pregnancies and miscarriages, because he knows they’re going to happen. But somehow, abortions take him by surprise.

lawhawk  Aug 7, 2015 • 12:02:21pm
Are you not entertained?

Seriously. This is exactly what we should have expected from the GOP. Misogyny on parade.

They haven’t disappointed in the slightest bit.

Trump shows his disdain towards women who question him or his beliefs. He berates Kelly for asking a question that identifies a specific character trait that many might find problematic (calling women names and demeaning behavior towards them). And like clockwork, the trolls go savaging Kelly for even considering the question.

This is what the GOP has brought upon itself.

The problem isn’t just Trump. It’s the GOPers who agree with this misogynistic attitude - on a wide range of issues.

I glanced at his article and it claims that an ectopic pregnancy is NOT an abortion, because you remove the Fallopian tubes. Wants to have it both ways no abortion and saving the woman’s life (in some cases).

If they are both going to die it is basically just triage to save the one with the best chance.

Well then…what exactly should it be called? Jeez, it makes my brain hurt so much.

I barely survived both of my pregnancies. After I got through the second one my doc told me she could not, in good conscience, take me as a patient if I chose to have another child and try to carry it to term. It’s that bad.

The husband took one for the team and it’s not a concern. But believe me, had I gotten pregnant a 3rd time there would be NO THOUGHT of keeping that pregnancy. None, nada, zip. Death wish.

I guarantee if that had happened, one of these assholes would argue that because I’ve carried two that I can absolutely carry another and will just need to suck it up because when I stroke out the baby could still make it! Never mind that it would leave 2 boys without a mother and a husband without his wife!

This stuff is so, so very real and personal to so many men and women. These people treat it like a 10th grade debate class. They’ll never have to explain to children why they have a new brother but no mommy.

Honestly most people I’ve seen who debate abortion are in such a rush to declare the Fetus/Embryo/what have you a person with all human rights that they no real response to the violinist argument that gives them those rights, then point out that my “I have a right to keep my own organs sacrosanct” trumps your “but I’ll die without your X” any day of the week.

Megyn challenged a stage filled with Republican men. She upset the natural order of things on Fox. That can’t go unpunished.

I was just about to post something along the lines of “Anyone else find funny/ironic that Fox News is using examples of misogyny to take out Trump?”

I utterly agree with Ian, and it’s something I think we’ve all said at some point: almost nothing at the fucking propaganda factory happens by accident. Kelly was most likely given that talking point directly from Ailes himself.

There’s an editorial over TPM which points out what a nasty piece work Kelly herself can be (“Santa is white, kids, deal with it”, anyone?) She’s not standing up for women; she’s taking marching orders from a billionaire whose made shitloads of money in part by hiring people (women as well as men) who often subscribe to outdated gender views.

And two large assholes like Ailes and Limbaugh tossing asshole remarks around is just the most incredible media thing in some time.

Of course let’s ignore that every last one of the GOPers on the stages yesterday are extreme right wing by any methodology - compared with the 2012, 2008, 2004, 2000, or even the 1980, 1984, and 1988 GOP party platforms/statements.

The GOP has moved so far to the right as to be completely unidentifiable to anyone watching from 1980 or 1984. Reagan would be a RINO with this crowd, what with his support of gun control, talking arms control with the Soviets, selling arms to Iran months after an Iranian proxy bombed the embassy and Marine Barracks in Lebanon, etc. Oh, and a domestic policy that didn’t involve dismantling the safety net and also included tax hikes.

Instead, they’ll focus on Zombie Reagan, who massively spent on defense, and significantly increased the debt and national deficit - on second thought they’ll ignore that part except when a D is in office, in which case they claim to be fiscally responsible and that the only way forward is to slash/burn the safety net.

Yeah, this is their nightmare.

This is why the very first question out of the gate was about the 3rd party scenario. Because they see that as guaranteeing a Clinton victory. They’ve rigged everything else, all the vote-suppression efforts are paying off nicely now, the billions are in the bank for the negative ads, the only thing that can prevent a Bush coronation (and he is Murdoch’s chosen boy, make no mistake about it), would be Trump running and siphoning off 12%.

I disagree. But this has become accepted rock-solid manly truth amongst the RWNJ pundits.

Pushing that logic, if the mother dies during child birth can the baby be charged with murder and should the death penalty be in play?

You make the mistake of presuming they see the mother as a person.

If you thought Donald Trump’s comments about women were ugly, you should see the comments being posted at Breitbart𠈬om about Megyn Kelly.

Have you got a couple good examples so we don’t have to go to Breitbart? I know you sometimes don’t like to copy and quote them, but it does provide a service to the members and keeps the hits down at Breitbart too.

I hope Megyn is getting a full feel of her audience. I bet it is good times around the FOX News offices today.

The GOP establishment had the chance to refute or distance itself from this sort of rhetoric and polemical style a long time ago, but they were afraid of being shouted down at a town hall meeting by some goombah in a tricorne hat carrying a Gadsen flag.

By tolerating and even encouraging such behavior, they created a climate of debate that has resulted in this shamefully embarrassing situation, and one which is only going to get worse as the campaign heats up and the stakes grow higher

Sorry I’m late, but I think Fox is “anti” Trump simply because they don’t believe he’s really in it for the long haul, and that if they showed him any love, his exit will leave a big hole in their plans.

Chris Christie goes full Giuliani

Christie implies he was involved in the dragnet in question. He was US Attorney from January 2002 to December 2008—so he in fact would have been in office during the two years when the phone dragnet worked through the Servic-um, Surveillance court, and four years of the Internet dragnet. But if, as he implies, he was involved in the dragnet for the entire span of his tenure—and remember, there were huge cases run out of Trenton right out of 9/11—then he was also using the fruits of illegal wiretapping to do his job. Not Servic — um, Surveillance court authorized dragnets and wiretaps, but also illegal wiretaps.

Which may explain why he’s so invested in rebutting any questions about the legitimacy of the program.

re: #85 Khal Wimpo

So, 23 years later, they still haven’t figured out that GHW Bush would have lost in 1992 even without Perot? Pretty much every analysis of that election said that Perot’s voters would have split evenly between Bush and Clinton.

Granted, Trump would cause many more problems for the GOP nominee in 2016 because he’d likely pull fewer Clinton voters than he would voters that would otherwise vote for the GOP nominee (I’d guess it’d probably be something like a 70/30 split). But Perot is the wrong example. Roosevelt in 1912 might be a better example, of course, he came in second in that election - which probably scares the GOP establishment more than anything.

At least my other senator is Gillibrand. Love to see her be our 2nd female president after Hillary.

Join the club! It’s either cheap opportunism or a carefully-orchestrated bit of political theater: Schumer is notoriously in the bag for the Likud Lobby; but will probably spend more energy fighting that meme (as little better than The Protocols of the Elders of Zion) than in trying to articulate any serious alternative plan to the Vienna Agreements. Some “statesman”.

Now all of that paranoia is backing up on them. They created this monster, and it’s coming for them now. Trumpenstein lives. He is loose in the town and on his way to the doctor’s castle. We may not be laughing two years from now, but for the time being, man, what a show.

War is a political act. It is done for political purposes. Military purposes ARE political purposes.

Modern total war pits one NATION against another NATION. We send soldiers out to fight and die, but nobody should be under the impression that it’s just one nation’s MILITARY against another’s. Each nation continues fighting as long as it has the means and the will to. Reducing the will to fight is as valid as reducing the means.

“After last night’s debate, I decided to accept @realDonaldTrump’s offer for Secretary of Treasury,” Icahn tweeted.

“Seriously, the methods of electing our corporate and political leaders have become completely dysfunctional,” he said.

“In both areas, we are in dire need of a breath of fresh air,” the wealthy hedge fund manager added.

My boss had some invitations printed for an event this coming Monday, but she didn’t order enough and it’s too late to get more printed in time. I said I’d do them by hand since I have card stock, a decent printer, a rotary cutter, and a scoring board.

I manged to get everything printed without the cats stepping on, scratching, or chewing anything up. I decide to break for (a very late) lunch before I start trimming & scoring, but before I warm up my food I take all the prints over to my craft/art table, then I cut a few big pieces of newsprint off the roll I have and put it down on the table so I have a nice clean surface to work on and won’t risk messing up any of the cards.

So I’m sitting here eating and guess who has to sit herself down right smack in the middle of the newsprint-covered area? Yeah, feline overlord. The other one is sitting in the chair I need to sit in to work at the table. I am SO gonna catch attitude when I tell them they have to move. *SIGH*


This is the second time in a week, BTW. Last Saturday I was trying to get the lighting right for something I was photographing on white butcher paper (because I don’t have a light tent), and as soon as I saw a furry paw appear in my camera’s viewfinder I knew I was in trouble.

Both Hiroshima and Nagasaki were legitimate military targets, scheduled to be bombarded heavily by conventional airstrikes before the planned invasion of Japan.

Hiroshima was the HQ for the 2nd General Army and was the command center for the regional defense forces, as well as being a major shipping port. Nagasaki was actually the secondary target, with the main target of Kokura obstructed by clouds. Nagasaki was a major rail center and would have been used to transport troops and munitions through out the island.

I agree with all this, except at the end. IMO, the only thing that prevented WWIII between the US and USSR was the hard reality of mutual assured destruction provided by the nukes. So I don’t see any present-day principled objection by nation-states to modern total war.

After I read this article I started using flaxseed oil. The results are pretty amazing.

That sounds great. He seasons them at 500 degrees, so a burn point of 520 should be great, unless the smoke helps make them black. I hadn’t seen the scientific analysis before, just some guy’s trendy-sounding opinion.

re: #144 EPR-radar

I agree with all this, except at the end. IMO, the only thing that prevented WWIII between the US and USSR was the hard reality of mutual assured destruction provided by the nukes. So I don’t see any present-day principled objection by nation-states to modern total war.

And I see tendencies across borders that certain parts of the religio-political spectrum are advocating and prepping for global war.
People claiming to be ex-military, but don’t know the international protective signs, and when confronted that their country under international law is obliged to respect them, they say that the law or constitution trumps any international convention.
Some even claim to use the protective signs for target practice (SIC(!)).
They don’t even know the caveats of the Laws of War and think I’m fibbing when I tell them.

These idiots are prepping and advocating for a war which will be very ugly and whose wounds will take very long to heal (if ever). And for a war in which their opponent will, under international law, have the right to pull out many of the stops.

*smh*

Read your link, and am quite certain that we received no training on the full range of signs as 1960s soldiers. (Red Cross was a training item.) Also never encountered them in 30 yrs as a DA civilian including a good bit of Pentagon time and 7 years of tours in forward areas.

The Mogen David Adom symbol is not on the link’s protective list.
