Carly Fiorina calls out panelists for sexism on Real Time (VIDEO)


Carly Fiorina was the only conservative and woman on Real Time with Bill Maher. She held her own in what looked like the good old boy network. To be sure I do not like her or share her ideology. As Liberals I personally want to be careful not to continue the systemic sexism that permeates our society.

believes in an amendment to prevent same sex marriage.

She is as right wing as they come.

Ask the lady who helped ruin a great company, HP, but she got her golden parachute

What sexism are you referring to? Leno was neutral, and Rushdi doesn't have a sexist bone is his body. Neither does Paul Beguli(sic)

Fiorina is just a partisan right wing hack. The sexism is owned by the republicans, the party she supports

the systemic sexism you think she is addressing:
“I think we have to take on the shameless, baseless propaganda that is the ‘War on Women. It is baseless propaganda. Most of it’s a lie."

7. Why does Maher put so many conservative women on his show?

Usually, there's only one woman on the panel, if any, and more often than not, the woman is a right wing lying idiot...like Fiorina. These female panelists do not represent women nor the best interests of women.

Fiorina did "hold her own" in the sense that she was quick to speak up and interrupt with her GOP talking point bullshit.

But where was her sharp tongue when the "boys" were making lame locker room jokes about female candidates? Rushdie teed up a double entendre joke when he said Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren are his "fantasy" (for the Dem 2016 ticket). Maher then giggles and asks, "What do your fantasies look like?" as the studio erupted in laughter. Rushdie, who is in the same age group as these women, quipped, "How can I say this...they're a little too OLD for me." I wish Fiorina had said some cutting quip back, like "Don't worry, I'm pretty sure YOU'RE too old for THEM." She offered no funny comeback lines. No, when it came to standing up for women, she did not hold her own.

10. Because Maher is a closet conservative.

Maher is not a liberal, he is a libertarian but pretends to be a liberal to help his ratings.

In two years she can run for Senator Boxer's seat or in four years she can run for gov. I think she is moving in the direction of one of those two choices. Talk Talk Talk Say nothing!

It doesn't matter what she did or didn't do. It had eveything to do withwhat the other panelists were SAYING.
