Cokie Roberts: 'Men Are Just Lesser Beings'
Newsbusters.org ^ | 8-2-09 | Tim Graham

In the "First Person Singular" interview in The Washington Post Magazine on Sunday, ABC and NPR news analyst Cokie Roberts expressed her female chauvinism loud and clear: "Men are just lesser beings." Strangely, her extreme take on the sexes came right after she proclaimed she was in the common-sense middle of political opinion:

In our house, my mother is responsible for the insect kill and tree-frog catch-and-release. Outside, my father is responsible for the snakes.

An ex-girlfriend of mine used to joke that men were good for two things, and one of them was lifting heavy objects. Then she discovered feminism....

Okay, snakes would make me want to pack up and move:) I kill spiders IF I have to, otherwise hubby or son do it. They have bigger shoes and a steady aim. And they don’t scream.

“Then she discovered feminism...” Is that why she is an “EX”?

Well, all you have to do is watch a few commercials or sitcoms and this would become perfectly evident.

Men are clumsy, stupid, bumbling idiots that are merely put up with by the women and even the children. Men make no decisions, men are the equivalent of their wife's “big child”. They always mess things up. The smart intelligent woman must come and rescue them and tell them every move to make. They are idiots. They have no ability to make any decisions in their own house without approval from the wife or else they get “in trouble”.

...and frankly, it sickens me.

There was a comedian about 10 years ago who said he always heard that if woman ran the world, there would be peace but didn’t believe it. His act went something like this:.

World Leader 1(Male): “I received information you just launched missiles at us. Why are you sending missiles toward us?”

World Leader 1(Female): “Oh, I think you know why.”

It is hard to take Cokie seriously when her voice sounds like she hangs around Thirston Howell and John Fn Kerry. You can bet all your marbles she despises Sarah Palin.

Not really. She had some anger management problems, among other things. I said ex-girlfriend, not ex-wife. It didn't get that far.

Cokie must have spent too much time at the Hillary camp.

Who the hell does she think she is to make such a statement. Is she calling her father a lesser person or any brothers that she might have? A son perhaps. I father, husband, son, son in law, men cousins, nephews etc are no lesser person than I or anyone else is.

SHE is a very SMALL person to make such an assinine statement as that and proves with that statement that SHE truly is the lesser person overall.

And, thus, we have a clear understanding of why the number of single parent households in the US has been on the rise since the late 60s and the women’s lib movement.

It also explains why so many women today have decided to live in poverty rather than share their lives with one of those ‘lesser beings’.

Coki roberts hangs out with men in the beltway and the left wing press.

Leftist men are eunachs, what else can she think? it is not as if she is an investigator who would seek out truth. She works in praise of Obama.

Maybe the one she is married to is a lesser being.

Most of the men I know are nowhere close to being lesser beings.

Shove it, Cokie!

Woohoo! Since I’m a lesser being I no longer am responsible for my own actions or to take care of myself. I’m handicapped and will now be living on the dole.

Who is Cokie Roberts and why does he think so little of his gender?

Well Cooooky, if it wasn’t for men, you’d be still living in the stone age waiting for a man to invent the wheel.

If it wasn't for men, Cokie wouldn't exist.
