Bill Kristol:"White Women Are A Problem, That's, You Know -- We All Live With That"

Media Matters:

On the February 3 edition of Fox Broadcasting Co.'s Fox News Sunday, panelist and New York Times columnist Bill Kristol said the only people supporting Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's (D-NY) presidential campaign "are the Democratic establishment and white women." Kristol then asserted that "it would be crazy for the Democratic Party to follow an establishment that's led it to defeat year after year," and added, "White women are a problem, that's, you know -- we all live with that." After fellow panelist Brit Hume responded, "Bill, for the record, I like white women," Kristol said, "I know, I shouldn't have said that."

Don't fall for it people. This is another republican ploy to anger women enough to vote for Clinton. They are saying a lot of reckless things to agitate women to vote. They really want a Clinton/McCain ticket because they know they can beat Clinton in November.

Stop their plans. Vote Obama!!!

Another member of the good old boys club, Republican chauvinist pig. Lets just keep those women pregnant and bare foot.

[mellene]

This madman continues to cross the line with these type of remarks. What about white men like him being the problem.

[wadenelson1]

Yet more proof of the NYT's gross negligence in hiring this bimbo.

[FirstShirt]

It only proves [again] that poeple who are not funny people should NEVER make jokes.

of all the closet cases on fox, kristol is the most blatant. looks like he is toning down the rouge, but you know he is wearing panties under his pants

[truthyguy]

He admits he shouldn't have said that.

But he never says it isn't what he believes.

How does this imbecile have a job, much less one where he is paid for his opinions?!

[geekkid101]

Question-
Are all Republicants closet gays?

Billy boy, your WHOLE FRIGGIN CAREER could be summed up by saying, 'I shouldn't have said that.'

Just shows how stuffy and out of touch these anchors and pundits are. For example, I myself am a middle aged, grad school educated, child-free WHITE woman from the South, and I wouldn't vote for Clinton if she were the only candidate. I won't vote for her, even if by some miracle she gets the nomination and isn't eaten alive by the Republicans. She's smart, capable, and NOT MY CANDIDATE.

These fat white TV news guys, ya know, they're kinda pork-bellied stupid. It's easier for them to predict junk than to go out and gather information.

Obama/Edwards 2008!

Only one 'white woman comes to mind here --- Kristol's mama was a white woman (I assume) , and ya' , she created a 'problem'.

Mr. Kristol, is that Gertrude Himmelfarb in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?

Billy has Gertrude Himmelfarb issues.

This was wrong on so many levels. Don't think that people should be criticized regardless of who they choose to vote for. We live in America, not Nazi Germany.

Grant it I am not a fan of Hillary's, but I respect peoples right to vote for her regardless of the reason. Stop generalizing and stop trying to put people in a box because you don't agree with them!

Other than the fact that Bill Kristol is an idiot and any "news" organization that pays him for his opinion is instantly not credible...

The funny thing for me personally is that the only Clinton supporters I know are guys. All the women I know are Obama supporters or undecided. And almost all of them consider themselves feminists, except for a couple that I don't talk to much.

This is pretty simple: Kristol made the comment because he wants people to rally to Clinton's defense. The neo con Republo-fascists are terrified of Obama.
