Cspan callers are Teh scary. "Women shouldn't be paid the same as men"

[AlCzervik]

"they can't work their way through their whole pregnancy" That caller was a woman.

[Catherine Vincent]

1. And an uneducated one at that.

[billyoc]

2. Why can't they?

Oy, what the hell am I doing, arguing with them! :rofl:

[AlCzervik]

4. i think what she means is go out in the parking lot, drop the kid old school style and that

get back to your deak.

[DangerousRhythm]

18. Yeah, basically.

My brain would explode if I tried to argue this one. :rofl:

[GreenPartyVoter]

3. Filed her under D for DUH.. Jeez louise. So if a woman takes a few weeks off

due to pregnancy and maternity leave, they should consistently NOT be paid fairly for years and years and years.
Yeah, that makes SO much sense. (I hope she isn't in a position to actually make those payroll decisions for someone.)

[TheKentuckian]

10. It's amazing that in 2008

we have people that not only have way backwards mentalities but are perfectly comfortable espousing nonsense in front of the world.

Especially considering the huge numbers of single mothers out here trying to raise families.
That statement advocates poverty and children who's needs cannot be met.

Another day, another piece of evidence that Republicans exist in only three states-stupid, evil, and recovering.

[GreenPartyVoter]

12. And it's a worse crime for a woman to say that about her own gender

[nc4bo]

5. I was listening to Lilly Ledbetter speak tonight.....I think she would disagree. nt

[AlCzervik]

8. word.

[bushisanidiot]

6. More proof that republicans are insane. Period.

.

[patrice]

7. I heard that! Stupidist person EVER! I hope all of McMoreMisery's supporters aren't that DUMB,

because there'd be NO hope for them.

[AlCzervik]

9. she was a real peach and the funniest part was her telling us she was a woman.

um yeah, i think we could hear that.

[patrice]

11. It was makin' me crazy that I couldn't ask her what about the pay for wymyn who are NOT

pregnant, nor likely ever to be pregnant. Or how about the young ones; should they be penalized for being females? Or maybe the young ones will go out and get pregnant, since they're being paid as though they are anyway.

[Kingofalldems]

13. Never underestimate the ignorance of hicks

[ailsagirl]

14. I don't get that and I never will... WTF??

[TheDebbieDee]

15. I heard that insane troll 8itch!

What the hell was her problem?

[Berry Cool]

16. Aside from the obvious factual wrongness of saying such a thing,

does it ever occur to her that most women don't spend their entire working careers pregnant?

And that some never have children at all, and it makes no damn sense to penalize them with lower pay than men just because other women take maternity leave?

[TrogL]

17. If they don't believe in birth control, then they will spend their entire working careers pregnant
