Joe Biden Authored the Violence Against Women Act so Fox News Calls Him a Sexist



Joe Biden Authored the Violence Against Women Act so Fox News Calls Him a Sexist

Fox News is still so angry over the debate beating that Joe Biden gave Paul Ryan that they are insinuating that the Vice President of the United States is sexist.

-snip- (video and transcript on the link below)

After Fox failed to paint Joe Biden as a drunk who was drinking during the debate, they moved on describing his behavior as sexist towards women. The problem is that Biden’s career record tells the story of a man who has fought for equal rights. Biden voted for the Equal Pay Act in 2008. Biden was an advocate who fought for the Family and Medical Leave Act. Biden has been a consistent support of a woman’s right to choose, and his crowing achievement is his authorship of the Violence Against Women Act.

His opponent Paul Ryan has opposed equal pay for women, family and medical leave, the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, amendments to employment discrimination law, any sort of choice for women, and he supports the federal version of Personhood.

Only through the warped prism of Fox News could Joe Biden be painted as sexist, and Paul Ryan as the candidate who will protect women’s rights. Paul Ryan lost the debate so badly that Fox News is still trying to smear the vice president. The Republican “Young Gun” fired a dud at the debate and was outdrawn by the cool eye and steady hand of a veteran fighter for women.

Fox News is trying hard to weave a victory out a crushing defeat, but both women and men know who is really on their side. One look at their voting records is enough to make it clear that the vice presidential candidate who is carrying the flag for a sexist agenda isn’t Joe Biden. It’s Paul Ryan.

It includes SHACKING UP unmarried women, and even LESBIANS. I read their arguments and this is what they were saying.

Damn assholes. Here is what the one fox gal said...

"Andrea Tantaros: I thought as a woman he just looked so cocky and so arrogant, and I thought, you know, every woman has worked in an office in the workplace with a Joe Biden. You know the guy that puts his finger in your face, the guy that sort of dresses you down, who knows more than you do — hey, honey, go make some coffee. That’s how I took it."


So because Joe Biden stood up to a sexists, suddenly he becomes the boss from the 1970s who grabs your ass and doesnt listen to your opinion. These people have no shame at all. None.

They will try anything. If they wanted me to be considered the Queen of England, they'd literally make that claim, no matter how hard anyone laughs. They always give it a shot, no matter how ridiculous.

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

These baal worshipers calling a man who is a champion of helping those that need help goes to show you how despicable reich wingers really are.
