Fox Pundit Tells CPAC Crowd That Rachel Maddow Is ‘The Best Argument In Favor Of Her Parents Using Contraception’

By Faiz Shakir on Feb 9, 2012 at 4:44 pm

In the “closed circuit world on the right,” MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow is often the subject of ugly denigrations. Whether it’s being mocked for her sexual orientation, her name, or even her education, right-wingers can’t get enough of slamming her.

During a political discussion at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) today, Fox News pundit and conservative columnist Cal Thomas continued the ugliness. After the Heritage’s Genevieve Wood played a quote of Maddow eloquently debunking the conservative argument on contraception, Thomas said:

I’m glad that you played the Rachel Maddow clip because I think she is the best argument in favor of her parents using contraception. I would be all for that. And all of the rest of the crowd at MSNBC, too, for that matter.

1. Some people cannot handle the truth.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

The guy is a nasty, vicious waste of skin.

On his better days.

5. Hey Cal FUCK OFF you toad!!

[Journeyman]

6. Go easy on Cal. Life's not easy for him, especially as he began it as the poster child. . .

for the importance of oxygen in the womb. He's made many brave moves since then. His Mother must be very proud (though occasionally a bit embarrassed, as at this moment).

7. A man talking smack

about an educated woman who is always on the side of common sense and integrity. How new.

8. He has absolutely no room to talk.

(Cal ... your momma sure dresses you funny.)

[treestar]

9. Proves they have no real concern for human life

Doesn't that just prove it? They are supposedly against all birth control and abortion, ergo, they should not be seeing anyone as an "argument in favor of using" it. He should value her life as much as his own and those he decries not being here due to birth control or abortion.

10. That's Cal Thomas?

Didn't recognize him. He used to be on TV in Houston. Channel 11 CBS, maybe?

Typical Republican ad feminem argument. No facts, just personal attacks.

11. a turd in the human punchbowl

[hifiguy]

22. A perfect description.

You win the thread.

[Redstate Bluegirl]

12. He looks 200

yrs old I mean

13. KKKal Thomas: the best argument for laws against pedophelia...

...necrophilia, and animal molestation.

Someone sorely needs to customize South Park's 'Mother#####' song just for KKKal.

Btw, what's with those wattles? Is he storing Limpball's 'talking points' in them?

Jabba would be jealous!

[Cleita]

14. That was just horrible and I'm sure very hurtful to Rachel.

It's one thing to point out differences of opinion when you disagree with someone, but to wish they were never born is really very low and subhuman of this person.

[lonestarnot]

15. More nutfuckery from a fuckwit.

[renate]

16. that says nothing about Rachel and everything about Cal Thomas

I don't think Rachel is going to shed any tears over his opinion.

[eyeofnewt]

17. not surprised

that he said it, but the stuff these audiences will laugh at never ceases to amaze me.

[no_hypocrisy]

18. Some Christian fundamentalist bigots only believe in birth control when it's used for

eugenics.

[lunatica]

19. Yawn, well, just yawn

[ProfessorGAC]

20. There's Someone In The U.S. That Thinks He Matters Anymore?

He's been wrong about everything for 30+ years. Who in the world actually thinks what he has to say is relevant?

21. Cal Thomas - the Young Paul Harvey

Seriously, my first thought when I read this: "Wow, is he still alive?"

[Quantess]

23. So what? It reflects poorly on him.

It's the sort of insult that only makes the person saying it look bad. That's the kind of insult that no one on the receiving end should even wrinkle an eyebrow over, even for a split second.

He should feel like an ass for saying something like that. I'm embarrassed for him.

24. Cal Thomas? My god is he still alive?
