Ah Fox News you simultaneously make we laugh and vomit - a very tricky task to master, you don't want to shoot puke out your nose.
So why the graphic image? It is in response to Liz Trotta. You know that lady who said "Women in the military shouldn't be surprised they are being raped" I often am shocked, appalled, and amused by the stuff that comes out of people's mouths on these 24 hour news channels. Not just Fox mind you but all of them. Fox just happens to have a more people on as guests whose views are so opposite mine I wonder if we are both from the human race. I more often than not take huge issue with the comments and commentary I find on Fox BUT I do respect their right to have a differing opinion and therefore rarely comment directly about the network. However since finding this clip from Liz's interview I simply cannot keep my mouth shut. I would like to say I gave her the benefit of the doubt and watched the whole interview as I realize offensive sound bites are often not as bad as they seem if you take the conversation as a whole but I have serious doubts that this sound bite was taken out of context for shock value. I simply cannot bear to watch the whole interview for fear I might chuck the computer out the window. Also the response by the guy interviewing her leads me to believe that this clip is an accurate portrayal of Lizzie Poo's views.
Now this interview started out bad and very quick spiraled to beyond worse. Discussing a report by the military that sexual assault was up 64% Liz made the following vile comments
-Now, what did they expect, these people, being in such close contact
-the military is wasting money providing preventative and support services to women who are now being raped too much
-I thought the mission of the military was to defend and protect
us (meaning non combatants) not those fighting the war*
*This is by far my most favorite line
And when the interviewer tries to make a suggestion that I think is a life line intended to get bring her back from the edge she shuts him up by saying "Oh, look that's a nice try Eric. These women want to be victims and warriors"
I was utterly speechless and befuddled by the words coming out of her mouth. If you want to be offended simply google Liz Trotta views on rape. Then let's discuss...
