Yikes.

Vanity Fair magazine just ended its third annual “New Establishment Summit” in San Francisco, a three-day conclave bringing together “titans of technology, politics, business, media and the arts for inspiring conversations on the issues and innovations shaping the future.”
More accurately, what the magazine’s predominantly liberal readership would deem “inspiring.” At least one of those conversations, between New York magazine writer Frank Rich and purported humorist/Vanity Fair contributing editor Fran Lebowitz, hardly qualifies.
Their discussion turned inevitably to the presidential campaign and Lebowitz offered this on how she “knew Trump wouldn’t win” long before the pesky election that actually decides it —
I just knew there were not quite enough morons. There are just a few too few morons for that to happen.
“Just a few too few” in lieu of “just a few” — and this from a person with the job title of “editor.” Hold on, it gets worse. Here’s Lebowitz’s take on Trump’s “image” –
He’s a poor person’s idea of a rich person. They see him. They think, ‘If I were rich, I’d have a fabulous tie like that. Why are my ties not made of 400 acres of polyester?’ All that stuff he shows you in his house — the gold faucets — if you won the lottery, that’s what you’d buy.
But the real gem came when Lebowitz was asked about “anti-abortion advocates, like Mike Pence” —
[They] are the perfect advertisements for abortion. There should be retroactive abortions.
Two short sentences, and each so appalling.

Yes, Lebowitz, a professional curmudgeon, is being deliberately provocative. But she reveals more than intended and what comes through is repellent.
First of all, it’s hard to believe Lebowitz is sincere in stating that prominent politicians who oppose the killing of unborn babies are “perfect advertisements” for abortion — as opposed to, for example, the woman whose life is threatened by her pregnancy? Wouldn’t she make a better, uh, “ad” for abortion, for those inclined to think along these lines, as opposed to one merely featuring a politician Lebowitz abhors?
Lebowitz says this about Pence in a way she never would about Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards, the only difference being that Richards shares Lebowitz’s dogmatic opinion on abortion. Hence, Richards is worthy of life while Pence isn’t. Lebowitz is not wishing Pence dead but the next closest thing, which is saying he should never have been born due a deadly medical intervention while in utero.
What’s most comical about Lebowitz’s remarks, though not in the way she intends, is how cliched they are, especially considering her saying them amid this glittering colloquium filled with “titans” of media, tech, biz and the arts … abortion foes are the very reason we need abortion! It would be a stretch to suggest Lebowitz is only a degree separated from wanting political opponents herded into boxcars, but she’s close enough to look over your shoulder. It’s not the unborn Pence who Lebowitz wants aborted, it’s him.
Some folks on the left, who are not of the caste which can afford bodyguards, need to think very carefully about their own physical safety before demanding the death of their political opponents.
“Did she put you up to this? That minx. What a lively sense of humor.”
“for inspiring conversations on the issues and innovations shaping the future.”
They're not smart enough to realize that they did.
Don’t they realize just Who they will ultimately answer to? People have lost their minds. . . .people have lost their way.
Exactly. She looks, let’s just say, she is not attractive.
This fully explains why the left has made common cause with the head choppers.
They better watch what they wish for.
Fran is such a charming lady, isn’t she?
When liberals can’t silence the opposition, then the next step is to destroy them.
Fran is a disturbed individual. She was on Letterman a long time ago complaining about Giuliani cleaning up NYC. She preferred it when it was a $hithole with epic-level murder rates.
Exactly. She looks, let’s just say, she is not attractive.
Nothing less than a call for murder.
And if Fran Lebowitz made me a pot, I'd make her wear it over her head.
Shelly Dubinsky (Lisa Baur) was the hottest girl in the whole film, hands down.
A Jew calling for a final solution? The irony of these crazy times.
And I would like a Time Machine and a plane ticket to Hawaii so i could convince Stanley Ann Dunham to get some help concerning her being molested underage by Frank Marshal Davis before she got pregnant, but we can’t all live in fantasy land like a liberal progressive moron.
Bring it, bitch! You can come on over and try to retroactively abort me while you're at it. See how that works out for you.
Us irredeemable deplorables don't take kindly to murderous threats from dog turd leftists ...
The bad news is that had Zero been aborted, you still would’ve had Hillary instead in 2008.
That was my thought. If hey show up he'll say that of course, we would try the reeducation camp first.
Yikes.
