Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Tuesday, September 01, 2009

In the master's thesis he wrote in 1989 as a student at Pat Robertson's Regent University, Virginia Republican gubernatorial candidate Bob McDonnell criticized "cohabitators, homosexuals and fornicators" and described working women and feminists as being "detrimental" to the family, the Washington Post revealed Sunday.

Hoisted on his own petard...gosh I love saying that.

Guys like this will try to say out of one side of their mouth that his views have changed and then wink and speak out of the other side of their mouth to their "base" that they still hold the same values (ideas).

I am waiting for the denials and the comments regarding how we let a negro run our national party so we must be progressive!

If he were a Democrat, he could merely chalk all this up to youthful indiscretion, and get sent to Congress for the next 50 years.

Libbies are like that. They're very forgiving if you have sex with teenage boys, serve as a recruiter for the Ku Klux Klan, have your gay lover run a prostitution ring out of your townhouse, or drown a campaign worker in your car after a party. But if you're a Repub--forget it.

It was 20 years ago, but the Dems have a very, very long memory. Unless you're a Dem, that is.

#6 - Nice deflection, RIR.

I'm working on trying to figure out the double standard here. FTA:

McDonnell's campaign said his views have changed over time and that Deeds is "seeking to make an issue of a decades-old academic paper."
Robert Byrd gets a pass for being a high ranking member of the Klan, but this guy who only wrote a paper doesn't? Like Byrd, he admits his past and admits to changing his views

Bring on the "But this is different"s. LOL

3, 2, 1 . . .

Boob McDullard?

A Regent U Grad running fer Governor?

Sed wot?

Bwa hahahahaha!

Doesn't like teh gheys or werkin' wymen?

Wow, he really must dislike a lesbian with a career.

/Cos that's two jobs they've taken away from men!

Hope his campaign FAILs.

Be Well.

Just wondering how many of you still stand by everything you said 20 years ago?

How many of you stand by things you wrote in college to impress a teacher?

Not that I'm in VA but if I were I would pay a whole lot of attention to how he has voted more than what he wrote 20 years ago to impress a religious college into giving him a degree.

Like Byrd, he admits his past and admits to changing his views.

True but BM avoids expressing those new and improved views don't he?

"Like everybody, my views on many issues have changed as I have gotten older." He said that his views on family policy were best represented by his 1995 welfare reform legislation and that he "worked to include child day care in the bill so women would have greater freedom to work." What he wrote in the thesis on women in the workplace, he said, "was simply an academic exercise and clearly does not reflect my views."

An academic excercise that "clearly" doesn't express his views?

Cos he signed onto a bill to put welfare moms back to werk?

K, give that one a pass fer now but where are his latest views on gays folks and fornicators?

Inquiring minds wanna know!

Be Well.

Sadly Cbob...it's not a deflection but instead the truth.

* * * *

Barack Obama doesn't stand by anything he said 20 months ago.

"Just wondering how many of you still stand by everything you said 20 years ago?"

Pretty much I still believe everything I did 20 or even 30 years ago.

I think the least that could be expected would be for this guy to go point by point and update his views. I don't think he can do that without alienating his base who still do hold most of those views as he has pretty much acted as if he does too.
It isn't as if he has repudiated his views from 20 years ago. Byrd has.

"Barack Obama doesn't stand by anything he said 20 months ago."

Baloney. He's working on health care, he's taking troops from Iraq and sending them to Afghanistan just as he said he would. He hasn't raised taxes on working people.

K, give that one a pass fer now but where are his latest views on gays folks and fornicators?

Inquiring minds wanna know!

The web is a wonderful resource and google makes it easy to find what you are looking for, deth. Go for it.

No only do I still believe what I did 30 years ago, now I know I was right.

And by the way, feminism is an enemy of the traditional family. This according to feminists themselves, so why shouldn't I take them at their word?

In my second foray into the ivory tower I wrote all my papers from a Marxist point of view because it was easy and when I sat down to type out a thesis, whatever ink ended up on the paper was my final copy. Those were my GI bill professional student days. Now my politics are to the right of Ghengis Khan (Jengis Can according to John Kerry) so what does that all mean, nothing.

In January 1977, Jackson wrote a 1,000-word essay for the National Right to Life News. It was one of his many statements on the issue, including an ''Open Letter to Congress'' in which ''as a matter of conscience I must oppose the use of federal funds for a policy of killing infants.'' He spoke at the 1977 March for Life and asked, ''What happens . . . to the moral fabric of a nation that accepts the aborting of the life of a baby without a pang of conscience.''

"Just wondering how many of you still stand by everything you said 20 years ago?

How many of you stand by things you wrote in college to impress a teacher?"

I understand people changing from their 18-20 year old college days.

However, McDonnell was 34 and married when he wrote this thesis.

I am opposed to abortion and to government funding of abortions. We should not spend state funds on abortions because so many people believe abortion is wrong. (Letter to Arkansas Right to Life, 9/26/1986)
- Bill Cinton

Liberals should agree with him, since they also hate working women. Sarah Palin was not allowed to run for vice president because she has kids, and as a woman should be required to stay at home and breastfeed them all day.

During my 11 years in congress, I have consistently opposed federal funding for abortions. In my opinion, it is wrong to spend federal funds for what is arguably taking of a human life. Let me assure you that I share your belief that innocent human life must be protected, and I am committed to furthering this goal.
Al Gore, Former U.S. Vice President, in a letter to a constituent, while U.S. Senator from Tennessee (May 26, 1987).

Saying that libs are hypicrits is like saying water is wet or Michael Jackson was weird.

There are those who argue that the right to privacy is of [a] higher order than the right to life ... that was the premise of slavery. You could not protest the existence or treatment of slaves on the plantation because that was private and therefore outside your right to be concerned.
Jesse Jackson, U.S. civil rights activist, now in favor of legal abortion, in National Right to Life News, (January, 1977)

While the deep concern of a woman bearing an unwanted child merits consideration and sympathy, it is my personal feeling that the legalization of abortion on demand is not in accordance with the value which our civilization places on human life. Wanted or unwanted, I believe that human life, even at its earliest stages, has certain rights which must be recognized -- the right to be born, the right to love, the right to grow old.
Edward "Ted" Kennedy, U.S. Senator and former presidential candidate, now in favor of legalized abortion, in a letter to a constituent, 8/3/1971

Too easy...

Enjoy!

You don't write a paper like this unless you're a douche and you don't start your own branch of the KKK unless you're a total piece of shit. Instead of arguing over which side of a double standard is correct why can't you just admit that they're both assholes?

OK, righties, you've convinced me. Sometimes people do change. I have decided to give this guy an opportunity to repudiate the Neanderthal views he had in his youthful mid-30s. But I am skeptical.

If he does repudiate them, does that make him a flip-flopper?

I guess he is advising the president with his radical views.

Lawyer Joe sums up...

Sarah Palin was not allowed to run for vice president because she has kids, and as a woman should be required to stay at home and breastfeed them all day.

Actually the "Women should stay at home with the kids" camp is far larger on the right than the left.

The doctalaurafication of the GOP is undeniable.

And Liberals believe women should be able to breastfeed anywhere.

Also the argument wasn't that Scary Failin shouldn't run fer office cos of her large family.

Fer the most part the argument was that Scary by not spending enough time with her kids and filling their heads with fundie nonsense FAILed her kids, most particularily the one who got herself knocked up.

The argument was that she was shitty mom.

Just like yer a shitty debater.

K?

Be Well.

I'm just surprised he wasn't embarrassed to admit he went to Rejectancy U. Especially after all the fails these grads committed in the DOJ. Or was that the Department of Laws?

Have to ask SARAH!!

You're such a strange individual. What watchlists are you on? Do the parents in the neighborhood make their kids come inside when you pull out of the driveway with your icecream truck?

"There are those who argue that the right to privacy is of [a] higher order than the right to life ... that was the premise of slavery."

You are full of crap. Property rights were the basic premise of slavery and not coincidentally was also partially the basis of the plight of women before they too gained equal rights with men. The right to privacy is supported by conservative men when a Congressman wants to know how many millions they make as CEOs of health insurance companies but not for girls fourteen years old who have been raped by their uncles. Most conservatives publicly oppose abortion but in certain circumstances arrange for abortions for their own daughters, girlfrinds or nieces. Many an abortion protester has been noticed entering the clinic at another time for the purpose of obtaining an abortion. The argument about abortion has nothing to do with the life of the baby, it has to do with the safety of the would be mother. Abortions will occur whether or not they are legal, the only question is one of danger.

"If he does repudiate them, does that make him a flip-flopper?"

It would make him a liberal democrat and probably a nice guy.

I wonder what the subject of our DEAR LEADER's master's thesis happens to be on? Nobody seems to know. It's been buried.

Why would Obama have a Thesis? It wasn't and still isn't a requirement for his degree.

Stupid has a tenacious grip on some folks.

"I wonder what the subject of our DEAR LEADER's master's thesis happens to be on? "

Coincidentally...Hawaiian birth certificates.

Ok, I"m really going to fire up this thread!

Men are suppose to be the head of a family while women are the heart of it!

I believe a family is much better off with the wife/mother is at home caring for that home, the children, making sure it's run efficiently without having sitters to care for the children, without latch key kids, etc.

After WWII, we saw a huge number of men coming back from war and deserting their families therefore causing women to work outside the home in order to support her family.

She had no choice.

Today, most men will not work two jobs to support their families so their wife can remain at home to run their household and raise their children so again...women are in the work force.

I'd hardly blame the demise of the family on working women.

Better to say that the focus of priority in the American family has shifted.

Better to say that the focus of priority in the American family has shifted.

You touched on it Lisa, but what is that priority?

When I was a kid my immediate and extended family lived frugally. We didn't have a fancy house or a boat or the latest technological wonders (a color TV back then! LOL) Today Americans feel slighted if they don't have a wii, a cell phone, a mega inch TV, monster cars, McMansions, etc. To make this happen it does take two jobs. This attitude is a large part of the debt problem this country finds itself in today, but that's another thread.

People can live just fine and comfortably with one bread winner if they want to.

#42 is spot on.

I absolutely agree Goatman!!!

No.

She ran for office.

She held office.

Offices she was unqualified to hold, but did so nonetheless.

She was not elected because she was dumb as a sack of hammers and not fit to be VP of the US.

Nowhere was she "prevented" from running.

But how do you know if he has/hasn't written a thesis? Stupid never asks the questions!

No one writes a Thesis if it isn't required. You can google Harvard's requirements for the degree Obama received. It's fairly obvious.

www.law.harvard.edu

www.law.harvard.edu

rightisright,

You didnt read the story did you? Because if you did you would know that in that thesis he laid out to "fix this problem" and has tried to pass laws to achieve those goals. This guy is a dirt bad just admit and move on. Dont be a party line HACK your better then that.

My mother was a stay at home mom for most of my young years. When I was in High School Dad left her. She had never worked in her life and ended up getting a job as a maid at a nursing home. She never complained but she sure didn't have it easy. She would have been better off had she worked in her younger years so that she would have had job skills and experience. I think that it is great if a man wants to be a soul support for his family and let the wife stay home but BY GOD HE BETTER NOT LATER CHANGE HIS MIND. I and my siblings eventually forgave my Dad for what he did but it took about fifteen years and we were all grown by then.

The Pat Robertson Universities of the world will be their own undoing. You just can't indoctrinate people with backward-ass-country-fuckery and expect them to maintain dignity in the spotlight.

from my own post above...

"this is getting to be "old hat" now from
the Racist Right..."

the old hat part is in quotes.

While I'll give anyone a second chance,
what I was getting at, is what is in the news
all too frequently lately, the laissez faire racist
attitudes of the Right. This isn't the first
case we've heard about this year from
someone on the right having a "racial moment"
in the spotlight, more like the tenth, and probably
not the last...

if the Right's representatives stop messing up,
we will probably (most of us anyways) stop talking
about it...

I do agree though, people change, and they ought to
be given a second chance. Especially if something
they said or did is 20 years in the past...but as we both know, politics is not so forgiving.

just the nature of politics...

He criticizes cohabitators, fornicators, homosexuals, feminists and working mothers.

What's the problem? All who participate in those activities are undermining society. Pants pissers should take a deap breath, say ahmen and throw their uncerwear in the dryer.

i tend to agree with fwthom. when i read the article, i was thinking that it's kind of a shame that his thesis position is "so out of touch" as to be some kind of political death-knell.

his position would've been absolutely mainstream a few decades ago. but, i guess families are so much better off now thanks to our new enlightenment on these issues. just look around, things are better... aren't they?

things are better... aren't they?

for women who want to take responsibility for themselves: yes.

Current Democrat Senator Robert Byrd was high ranking member of and recruiter for the Ku Klux Klan. He also voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964. He also used the phrase "White Niggers" on camera in late '90s.

Given the libtard Democrat support of this known racist for decades I don't see this as being a big issue.

Can I direct you to this Webb site?

"Jim Webb's Dirty Books"

"Webb's novels disturbingly and consistently indeed, almost uniformly portray women as servile, subordinate, inept, incompetent, promiscuous, perverted, or some combination of these. In novel after novel, Webb assigns his female characters base, negative characteristics. In thousands of pages of fiction penned by Webb, there are few if any strong, admirable women or positive female role models."

Would you call that the "Racist Left"?

www.outsidethebeltway.com

I don't think that this guy should be elected/defeated on the grounds of an academic paper written 20 years ago. However, given that he was 34 yrs old at the time, I doubt that his views have changed much. But, as he was enrolled in a CBN college he very well might have been pandering to his audience (the conservative/religous scholastic administration) and therefore may have seeded his thesis with vitrol to please them. This, however, would point toward an inability to form lasting convictions and/or the willingness to say ANYTHING to get ahead. Unfortunately this is a symptom of a larger malignancy in politics (all parties): say anything to get gain support/get elected...

Politicians (all parties) have become no better than used car salesmen: sell you a line of BS, a wink of the eye and an easy smile, then send you out the door with a turd in hand, a boot to the wallet, and no recourse...

"Nowhere was she "prevented" from running."

I never argued that she was "prevented" from running. I recall seeing lefties here argue time and again that Palin should not run for vice president because she should be staying at home with her kids, and that even taking a job as governor was too ambitious.

So, like I said, lefties should have no problem with Bob McDonnell's thesis from 1989. You might say he was a liberal "before his time." LOL.

Cohabitation and fornication never led to any problems. The homosexual lifestyle is one we should all aspire to. Feminists certainly have all the answers and working women need to be out in the work place and leave their kids to run the street so they can buy all those gadgets seen on TV like the "slap/chop".

It must be hard you and your ilk to allow people to live their own lives as they wish without any persecution from society or government for not living the way that you see fit for them to live...

You got it rough in a nation founded upon individual rights and freedoms...

Sorry...

Obviously some folks think women all have children, and for those that do it is somehow inferior parenting if they should work. Millions of well adjusted, hard working American would beg to differ who were all raised by working moms. You can take your rules for the way women should live their live and .... well you know what you can do with them.

As the saying goes, you live your life and I'll live mine. Oh, did I mention my daughter just recently graduated summa cum laude??? She always had a working mom.

#73. That's fine Danni. I respect your opinion on this, but not many respect an opinion like that expressed in the thesis.

I do believe that there are many fine working women - married/unmarried - with children w/out children. There are those who can make this work.

I also believe, however, that having kids out of wedlock, having serial partners, and working outside of the home puts more pressure on the family unit - and that we'd be more stable as a society if that wasn't the norm.

Don't agree with me, fine. I don't agree with you. I haven't, however, marginalized you in any way like people are trying to marginalize this guy. It just seems odd to me that it is so easy for the pc police to ignore the additional stresses on the family - and somehow even imply that it is superior to a traditional family setting.

I do agree with you on this. I seriously doubt his views have fundamentally changed. Maybe, though. I used to support the death penalty and no longer do. I used to oppose gay marriage and no longer do. Sometimes people do change, but usually not in real fundamental ways.

Cohabitation and fornication never led to any problems. The homosexual lifestyle is one we should all aspire to.

***"I missed where this guy said the government should persecute people for their choices on this? Can you show me where that was?"

I'm sorry, I just presumed FWTHOM was a conservative, and given the content of his posting history * www.drudge.com * I think I was justified in doing so. Furthermore, given that the ideology conveyed by the subject of the article, Bob McDonell, which is the same consevative, intollerant, debasing and hateful "family value" rhetoric we hear from the majority of Republicans, I don't think that it's a stretch to presume that, as a law maker, McDonell would apply these same "family values" to his decisions made as one. Sorry for the "stretch" of logic, but Republicans/Conservatives have consitently attempted to legally and socially deprive all of the listed groups of people: rights, priviledges and incintives as the parties Standard Operating Procedure...

***"I don't think anyone's talking about laws, they are making observations. So fucking what? In fact, we have the opposite of persecution.

I will assume from your post that you assume that all/most people that come from a home that you consider "less than ideal" are mal-adjusted. This is an ignorant premise. Also, Republicans aren't the only taxpayers paying for the less fortunate, just as Liberals aren't the only taxpayers footing the bill for the senseless wars America has been thrown into. We all pay...

***"regardless of your machinations, you know in your heart this is true"

"Machinations"? Really? I know in my heart what is true for me. And, that is: regardless of ones' situation, lifestyle, sexual persuasion or personal choice, as an American, one should have the same rights, benifits and protection under the law as any other American. If you and/or your "ilk" somehow misconstrue this as "machination" I understand; I've been a political observer for a long time, and Conservatives and their values are nothing new to me...

1. Senator Byrd claims he no longer holds the same values that he did when he was a KKKLan member. Democrats seem to give him the benefit of the doubt.

2. Sonia Sotomayor made stupid comments about whites and males and her career was not derrailed.

You can draw whatever conclusion you want.

About 6 or 7 years ago McDonell, as a delegate (or he could have been a senator) in Virginia's general assembly, opposed a lesbian judge's appointment with the argument that she was unqualified because she may have violated Virginia's anti-sodomy law which basically made any sexual act that deviated from the heterosexual missionary position a felony regardless of the genders of the participants. A married couple engaging in oral sex could be convicted of a felony. McDonell also opposed reducing the violation from a felony to a misdemeanor. When asked by a reporter at a press conference if he had ever violated the anti-sodomy laws he replied "Not that I can recall."

I was there and it was one of the funniest moments of that year's general assembly session, but McDonell was absolutely serious. I don't know if the video still exists, but I sure hope it does and the Deeds campaign releases it soon.

Life under the Taliban is good for the stability of the family unit.

Liberals should agree with him, since they also hate working women. Sarah Palin was not allowed to run for vice president because she has kids, and as a woman should be required to stay at home and breastfeed them all day.

It was amazing to actually see WOMEN hating Sarah Palin so much for "putting her ambition ahead of her kids." It was just a year ago. It seems like a lifetime given all that's happened, but it was just a short year ago.

Wow this guy is a saint compared to what our current administration was doing in 89..

Even if we weed out the Communist and Marxist learnings but that accounts for some.. Our esteemed Green Jobs Czar was still a prison bitch I think.. It wasn't until 92 that he considered himself a communist!

Oh wait I mean Democrat. I swear those to words grow similar in nature everyday.

"It was amazing to actually see WOMEN hating Sarah Palin so much for "putting her ambition ahead of her kids."

Y'all love to pretend that Sarah Palin is important enough for us to hate her. Certainly, for a moment before the election we feared that she could conceivable end up as the Vee Pee with an old man as President and therefore potentially end up president....yes, we feared greatly that the moron might end up in charge of things she has not even a slight understanding of. Thankfully, she destroyed her own career and is now just a side show freak.
A source of jokes yes, someone to hate, hardly.

She has over 1,000 speaking requests and at each one (except when she donates her time to charity) will net over 6 figures.

In a little facebook post she singlehandedly delivered more damage to the Dems' healthcare aspirations than all other dissenters combined.

Like you, I don't understand her popularity and influence. But don't delude yourself for a second into thinking she's not relevant.

Nice deflection, but the fact is, many women thought it was inapropriate for Sarah Palin to run for VP especially with a DS baby. They thought she would not have enough time to take care of them.

I'm available if you need a second opinion.

Don't start, 101!!!!

At least we know what his fn thesis was. What was Obama's again? OHHHHHHHHHHHHH right right right I forgot....

"What was Obama's again?"

Didn't you get the memo? It was on forging Hawaiian birth certificates.

from above...

..."Would you call that the "Racist Left"?"

KBM, I would agree that people from both the Left and the Right can be racist. It just seems to happen a lot more frequently from the Right.

All of it should be universally denounced.

It happens more on the right? Or the left whines and calls more things racist giving the impression the right is more racist to you? Because the left calls damn near everything not going there way racist when barely a fraction is even remotley close to racist.

Beefers agrees with this statement

And by the way, feminism is an enemy of the traditional family. This according to feminists themselves, so why shouldn't I take them at their word?


Why you may ask? Because Beefers longs for the days when men were men and women wore Dresses And didn't get mad when you held the door open for them.......

Now it seems we have a bunch of overworked stressed out cranky Angry Women wanting to wear the pants.... Beefers can't get his eggs in the morning.... Beefers can't get his toast buttered...... Beefers asks for coffee and gets the pot thrown at him....... And forget about Sex in the Am..... That'll never happen again!

Yes dear...... The cans are out..........

Liberals should agree with him, since they also hate working women. Sarah Palin was not allowed to run for vice president because she has kids, and as a woman should be required to stay at home and breastfeed them all day.

So, you must be misty-eyed when she quit her Governorship, left the Republican party and joined the progressive liberals?:]

I know you believe her "breasts" function, but what about her penis?:]

REPUBLICANS: McDONNELL'S BELIEFS HAVEN'T CHANGED
The Deeds campaign brought out four former Republican lawmakers who said the views expressed in the thesis mirrored the positions they saw McDonnell take again and again in the General Assembly. McDonnell reiterated that some of his views have changed, particularly regarding women in the workforce, and attempted to change the subject to education.

Like you, I don't understand her [Palin's] popularity and influence. -- #88 | Posted by JeffJ

She understands and reaches working class voters. The Dems have people who can do this (Hillary, Webb and Schweizer, for example), but the limousine libs running the party right now are not among them.

Ebert wrote an incredible essay on Palin a while ago. I have it linked in my blog somewhere, but he said, in essence, that Palin appealed to the American Idol viewer who saw her as an average Joe, but the problem is that our standard for who should fill that role should be and used to be one based on the exceptional and not the average.

If he were a Democrat, he could merely chalk all this up to youthful indiscretion, and get sent to Congress for the next 50 years.

Libbies are like that. They're very forgiving if you have sex with teenage boys, serve as a recruiter for the Ku Klux Klan, have your gay lover run a prostitution ring out of your townhouse, or drown a campaign worker in your car after a party. But if you're a Repub--forget it.

It was 20 years ago, but the Dems have a very, very long memory. Unless you're a Dem, that is.

For someone who considers themselves smart, you sure missed a pretty big fucking elephant.

Sounds like Ebert hit the nail on the head. Except that I honestly believe she's a lot sharper than average.

"she's a lot sharper than average."

What the heck happened with Obama then?

Less than average--no experience and left of the table onto the floor liberal.

And what is the big deal except for politics in VA about this guys thesis 20 years ago?

All MA Thesis are drawn out boring reads.

Look at Michelle Obama's thesis.

Folks were yelling she hates whites.

I don't profess to know that but I did read it and discussing with Null how boring it was.

If folks were giving a pass to MO thesis--they should be doing the same thing here.

Of course it describes building a scientific instrument in 1978 that just this year is being decommissioned; An ultra high vacuum, angle resolving electron energy analyzer. Damn thing had a dedicated beam line at Brookhaven for ten years and moved to Louisiana in '95.

Kevin23 I thought it was the gay community that was into the backward-ass-country-
fuckery(see anal sex) that you mention. The last I heard, Robertson was against ass fucking.

Were those the repressed republican cowboys you're thinking of? The second it gets a little cold, they want to cuddle with a young male intern? There's a reason why Robertson is so "against" it...either its a shame issue or he can't get it up anymore.
