She got smacked the gently caress down by Stewart earlier this week, who called her out on doing this, I think.

The Right To Rise:

http://www.autoblog.com/2015/05/15/school-us-flag-truck/

Peyton Robinson, a high school senior in South Carolina, was recently told by a school administrator that he couldn't fly large American and POW-MIA flags from the back of his pickup truck. However, once Robinson started posting about the incident online, it didn't take long for a social media campaign and demonstration to force a change in policy.

Robinson claimed that the problems started when a school administrator asked him to remove the flags when he got home, but he found them unbolted in the truck's bed at the end of the day. Officials there claimed that the banners represented a safety concern. "Anytime you get a flag of any kind flying, it creates a visual distraction," York Comprehensive High School Principal Christopher Black said to news station WBTV.

That argument didn't stand up to the voice of the community or students at the high school, though. A protest on May 14 brought a stream of flag-bearing vehicles to the school. Vietnam veterans also waved the Stars and Stripes at passing cars.

The public pressure forced the school to change its policy, and Robinson was allowed to fly his flags again, as long they didn't create a driving hazard. "I'm really surprised all these people showed up and I'm really appreciative of all the support from everybody, I had no idea it would get this big," he said to WBTV.

To be fair she seemed to be literally shocked. Like, actually never expected an adult man on live tv to look her in the eyes and yell that she'd be happier at home with kids and women are clearly lying about being happy at work.

I mean if I was on TV and some dude next to me just started going off about how CLEARLY as a gay I want to rape straight children to convert them I think I'd be at a loss for words, I'm just surprised she didn't devolve into 'what the gently caress is wrong with you'.

It's not even modern sexism. It's something out of the 1920's. Same with Chuck throwing out race science articles that were debunked during that same era.

Like you said it's a really outdated line of thinking that most people have ditched because it's been proven wrong again and again. One wouldn't know how to respond because such a thought would be so idiotic It's like the Lewis Black bit on "If it weren't for my horse. I wouldn't have spent that year in college.". Your brain just stops and goes "Wait...what?"

Keep saying it...if it's people like this that are the future of the GOP? They'll struggle to be a national party for very much longer.

I honestly don't know. I've just seen a recurring tendency of the RWM to take the most innocuous, harmless, non-political stories in the world and turn them into something political that make it liberals' fault. They do it with movies, music...you name it. Like a few years ago when there were crazy wildfires out west, it was supposedly because environmentalists have kept people from cutting down the trees. So, if there's no trees, then there can be no fires.

That's like...um...I'm not sure what that's like but it's weird logic. It's like blaming book burning on the fact that too many liberals write books.

I wonder if a lot of conservative women on the right are beginning to feel alienated because of this. I mean, I think Michelle Bachmann, and Sarah Palin are pretty awful, but I don't think they would take too kindly to being told "Get back in the kitchen".
