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."

Unbelievable. I can't imagine why even Faux News lets this guy on the air and I'm supporting Obama.


What a scared little man. It's actually just sad.

Someone had a good point, that if he would have said "black women are a problem" there would be total outrage. Why because he says white women is it ok.

I'd like to see where america would be today without "white women".

Power will continue to be an elusive goal for the Democratic Party as long as they allow Right wing pundits to define them.

Mr Kristol is scared of ANY woman who would stand her ground, regardless of their color.

[helonias]

Thats an odd stance.

Maybe he's like LC

Oh Bill, you little thief. This was Larry Craig's motto. Or, you know, you too? :)

Why is this the-war-wi­ll-pay-for­-itself-we­'ll-be greeted-as­-liberator­s idiot still on tv?

[scooperss]

HA I knew he hated women.

[degjack]

I want to echo some other bloggers and suggest that white men ain't NO slouch either!!

"Democratic Party.....­.....defea­t year after year." Whaaaaat? Where was he during the last Congressional massacre when the Dems took back control of Congress. Even Dumya called it a "thumpin." It must be revisionist history they're always talking about.

White women? Why white? I'm not sure why one color woman is more trouble for Kristol than another. I'm sure most of them would dislike him no matter what color their skin is.

I don't know who the decider/moderator out there is, but I'm really disappointed that a harmless comment such as mine of a few minutes ago was apparently "disapproved".
What, I wasn't anti-Kristol enough?
Sheesh.

[brooklyncitizen]

well i'm no hillary fan, but not becaseu she is white or a woman.

if I had to pick a gender and race as a "problem" it would be...ehrmm­, white men...etc.­but this kind of talk is just pointless.­...it's a useless sentiment.

[Merg]

I didn't realize there were NO WHITE WOMEN in the Republican, Neocon, party. How did that happen?

[lostsole]

Why would NYT and FOX give a voice to a PNAC neo-con anyway? Someone must of saved some of Joseph Goebbels DNA and injected into our main stream media....t­hink about it.

Well I would have bet on getting struck by lightening before I ever defended anything Kristol says, but I have to admit this is the first time I ever got an honest non-derisive chuckle out of something he said. In my defense, I didn't laugh until the "I know, I shouldn't have said that." line at the end. Probably the most honest, non-BS moment the guy ever had on TV.
A harmless "Take my wife....PL­EASE!" moment and now we all have one more thing to screech at him about eh?
When women do that eye-rolling "MEN!" thing in one of it's many forms, I don't immediately pronounce them sexist men-haters so........­.?

Now I will go back to thinking about all the other much more important things I despise Bill Kristol for.
