Victoria Jackson mocks rape victims, trashes gay friends

[obamanut2012]

Reacting to the controversy surrounding Rep. Todd Akin's controversial comments regarding rape and abortion, former "Saturday Night Live" star and conservative activist Victoria Jackson said on Wednesday that if she were raped she would have the baby because it "would be a blessing," noting that the baby "has its own DNA" and is "not the father's DNA."

Responding to a HuffPost Gay Voices blog post from a former friend who said he ended their friendship because of her views on homosexuality, Jackson said she doesn't "think people should identify themselves by their sexual life."

"The Todd Akin thing was so blown out of proportion -- it's a joke," Jackson said at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla., when interviewed for my SiriusXM OutQ radio program. "How many times do people get pregnant from rape? It's point zero zero one percent. It's a joke. I read lots of articles. I know people, because I'm 53. I've know a lot of people, and I've actually never known anyone who got pregnant from being raped."

******************************************
JFC her career, as sucky as it was, was up about 20-25 years ago. This is just so mocking and mean.

Honest question: is she mentally ill?

[CreekDog]

1. she really has lost it

her recent comments make her characters on SNL seem like intellectuals in comparison.

[roguevalley]

35. she appears to be simple.

[Firesidechat]

37. Republican IQ

It never ceases to amaze me at the intellectual capacity of a Republican voter.

What do they want to conserve most?
Idiocy ??

[obamanut2012]

45. I wonder if she is mentally ill

She really does seem off the rails.

[roguevalley]

49. I agree. Paranoia, illogical and rambling thinking. I think there is a problem here beyond

the obvious.

[obamanut2012]

50. Totally agree

[The Doctor.]

42. Her role was always some form of 'airhead'....

She never had to 'play' a role.

[CreekDog]

43. No, she did have to act

to play an airhead was to play someone smarter and nicer than she actually is.

[Behind the Aegis]

2. She is deranged, IMO.

"I've know a lot of people, and I've actually never known anyone who got pregnant from being raped." "

Hello, Vicky! I am BTA!! I know I didn't pregnant from being raped, but guess who did?! One hint: I call her mom!

[obamanut2012]

5. She would probably call you and your mom liars

For real.

[Behind the Aegis]

8. And that would get real ugly, real quick! For real!

I can't believe some people. This is BASIC biology. And people wonder why we, as a country, as doing so poorly. If only stupidity were painful!

[obamanut2012]

13. Yup

[Blecht]

26. Evolution is BASIC biology, too

Bill Nye has it right:

This is what happens when we stop teaching science.

[niyad]

3. victoria, we KNOW you are an ignorant twit, so there is no reason to keep reminding us.

oh, by the way, go buy a copy of "idiot's guide to biology" before you ever open your mouth again
about a subject on which you are so clearly ignorant.

[obamanut2012]

4. Yeah, she needs a Human Anatomy 101 class

[Confusious]

34. And a basic genetics class

Something like "Baby's first lesson in genetics" with colored blocks and shit.

[obamanut2012]

46. +1

[still_one]

6. Rape is not funny. You need help. /nt

[gollygee]

7. Ack!

ignorant fool.

(edited because I misread it as "victoria justice" at first. My apologies to Ms. Justice.

[hobbit709]

9. That level of stupid really should be immediately and excruciatingly painful.

noting that the baby "has its own DNA" and is "not the father's DNA."

[Starry Messenger]

10. Um, how does a baby not have a father's DNA??

Spontaneous generation? What an ignorant toad.

[Cha]

23. Look at it this way..

Victoria Jackson will be forever linked with Todd Akin. Two raging idiots in a pod.

[Skittles]

11. truly pathetic

so desperate to defend the indefensible - it is sad, really

[MrMickeysMom]

12. She's got more chins than a Chinese phone book...

I like the Zerbina, do... Zippy the Pin Head's wife?

So, Victoria Jackson... what are your needs here? .... too bad they don't coincide with the public's need to be entertained. You are absurd and pathetic with the best of your career in re-runs next to "Tunes the Cat"

[spanone]

15. she reads? and she never personally met anyone who's become pregnant from rape....

therefore she concludes it doesn't happen. okie dokie.

[Odd Won Out]

16. She is one of only a few people

that prevents Janine Turner from being the biggest idiot on the planet.

[obamanut2012]

20. +1

[progressoid]

21. Welcome to DU!

I had to google Janine Turner. I had no idea she went off the deep end too.

[fascisthunter]

17. she would be a perfect nazi frau

[ismnotwasm]

18. Disgusting

I'm glad I don't know who the hell she is.

"I know people because I'm 53"????

Freaky weird

[progressoid]

19. Jesus H. She is completely off the rails.

How can she even function in the modern world?

[Cha]

22. She sounds more Stupid than the last

time I read her spouting off.

The goprick party is exploding with idiots.

[Gormy Cuss]

24. 32,000 per year.

That was the estimate from sciency-egghead types in 1996. That was based on a rate of about 5%.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8765248

I know lots of people too. I don't know anyone who has divulged that she became pregnant after rape. The difference is that I don't assume that my anecdote is a nationally representative sample.

[obamanut2012]

25. Exactly -- 5% reported

I really loathe her.

Did you see the video? How she MOCKS nightmares from being raped?

[blueamy66]

27. freaking delusional

nt

[lunatica]

28. She does it for the attention

[Heather MC]

29. Wow so much ignorance with a microphone it's sad

[Heather MC]

30. Wow so much ignorance with a microphone it's sad

[undeterred]

31. she is the basis for the stereotype of the dumb blonde

I mean, if anything comes out of her mouth, its stupid.

[UTUSN]

32. R#9 & K for, what happened to her, *drugs*?!1 n/t

[Zoeisright]

33. Does she have Alzheimer's?

Sure seems like it. And shut the fuck up, Jackson. You're a complete idiot.

[marmar]

36. On a warm day her IQ rises to 60.

[slampoet]

38. I have seen every season of SNL and she was my least favorite even then.

Even these days with so many cast members I can't think of almost any who were as unappealing and on as long without almost any memorable moments.

[liberal_at_heart]

39. "has its own DNA, not the father's DNA"?

What? Is a pregnancy from rape an immaculate conception? Boy these conservatives really did miss science class didn't they?

[Snarkoleptic]

40. Perfect GOP spokesperson...dumb as a...

[obamanut2012]

51. Hammers are at least useful!

[Major Nikon]

41. She's loonier than a tune

I really hate to link to WorldNutDaily, but this article shows how deep her psychosis goes. If nothing else, it's good for a laugh just to show how wingnuts routinely listen to crazy people as if their incoherent ramblings make sense.

44. This is the definitive article about her (Village Voice Jan 2012)

http://www.villagevoice.com/2012-01-25/news/tea-party-princess-Victoria-Jackson/



Victoria Jackson hurtles through intersections and down side streets while using her left hand to hold a Flip cam to her face. The inside of her car—a weathered Honda Civic with "Nobama," Marco Rubio, and Tea Party bumper stickers—smells like it has been fumigated with sweet incense. Steering with elbows and the occasional pinkie, she opens a Bible inscribed with her name and quotes Scripture in her inimitable high-pitched voice. Then she turns the camera on a reporter riding shotgun. She suspects he's a socialist. "Don't you think that some people are on welfare from cradle to grave," she demands, "because the government is encouraging them never to work?"

snip

In 1986, she flew to New York to audition for SNL. Executive producer Lorne Michaels, she remembers, curled his lower lip and lamented her lack of comedic characters. So the next time she was on Carson's show, she continued the audition by doing impressions of Diana Ross and Edith Bunker and inventing a character: a glum boss interviewing Carson for a job. She joined the SNL cast that season. With a new baby in tow, she and Nisan bought a four-bedroom Colonial in Weston, Connecticut. They split time between the two homes.

But Michaels's trepidation had been spot-on. Victoria's castmates included Chris Farley, Phil Hartman, Adam Sandler, Mike Myers, and Dana Carvey. She couldn't keep up. "I lived on pure adrenaline," she says. "You always think you're going to get fired. You're always competing with your cast members for airtime."

Coming up with characters and premises for skits was a supreme struggle. She confesses that one of her funnier sketches—"Victoria's Secrets," in which she wore lingerie and throatily fumbled at being sexy—was a product of begging castmate Jon Lovitz and writer Conan O'Brien for ideas as they walked down an office hallway.

47. I've never seen this article -- thanks!

[Honeycombe8]

48. That's her CHOICE. That's the pt. Someone else might CHOOSE differently...

and might suffer mentally from the pregnancy.

You either do or do not think a fetus is a person, and it is murder to have an abortion in the first trimester.

[Generic Brad]

52. There is no way she has gay friends

Perhaps she may know some individuals who are gay, but I am strongly certain they do not count her as one of their friends.
