"Your medieval history degree is handy defending Republicans"Liberal radio host Stephanie Miller on Sunday explained to former Republican U.S. Senate candidate Carly Fiorina that her study of medieval history would come in handy after the Supreme Court ruled that corporations like Hobby Lobby could deny birth control coverage to women for religious reasons.
A lot women including me are sick of the war on women, and we saw it in spades on Monday after the Hobby Lobby case, Fiorina told a CNN panel. Somehow this is the long arm of business and the Republican Party reaching into the body of women. Its ridiculous.
The war on women is shameless, baseless propaganda, theres no fact to it, and its worked because its scared women to death, she insisted. Enough. Enough.
I respect you very much as a woman for your accomplishments, Miller snarked in response. I even read that you studied medieval history, which I think will come in handy with trying to defend the Republican war on women.
Miller noted that every woman she knew was furious about he Hobby Lobby decision.
This is not just a war against women, this is a war against science, Carly, the radio host explained.
Oh, for heaven sakes, Fiorina gasped.
These religious people believe certain drugs cause abortions, doctors and scientists say they do not, Miller continued. They prevent abortion I have friends who need it for endometriosis. How do you say youre small government, and get the government involved in those personal decisions between a woman and her doctor?
I this is crazy to me, Fiorina stuttered. Your arguments are so counter-factual. Twenty forms of birth control are mandated, by the way, not by Obamacare. Theyre mandated by some HHS bureaucrats who go into the basement and write a regulation after Obamacare passes, and they decide. Elected by no one, accountable to no one.

they own all the radio, TV and newspapers in this country and most of the magazines. They are working like hell to own the internet. Yet despite all this they still can't win. They gerrymander the shit out of the House of Representatives, they take people off the voting roles, they fix the voting machines to win. Their message is so insane, so stinky, so fucked up that the only way they can win is to cheat.
