Megyn Kelly: We Want Donald Trump Painted Into That Inescapable Box of Sexism…
Conservative Treehouse ^ | 5/17/2016 | Sundance

Posted on 05/17/2016 7:23:32 AM PDT by GilGil

The phrase: “you cannot talk down to me because I’m a woman“, traditional -arguably appropriate- ERA feminism, demanded equality in opportunity. However, that argument has now been dropped.

Modern feminism is leveraged: “you cannot criticize me, because I’m a woman“.

Sheryl Sandberg, Megyn KellyThe traditional demands of equality are following a predictable pattern and now invoking leveraged benefit.

Ultimately, this is the modern version of feminism, and one currently being advanced by personalities like Fox News host Megyn Kelly. Social justice memes demanding a higher position of consideration based on (fill_in_the_blank), where this specific blank is filled with gender.

The objective determinations of skill and competency are now being clouded by lowered expectations forced by the benefactors who gain by lowering the expectation. It is a dangerous and slippery slope to bar critical evaluation based on lowered expectations due to gender. Such well-intentioned pathways historically lead to soft-bigotry caused by lessened expectations.

That video is eye opening, to say the least.

Maybe that ‘70’s song by The Guess Who, ‘American Woman’ is not only a classic, but timeless.

The feminazi’s hate for the white male and all things Christian is so blind they don’t notice what awaits them instead. Hint: take a look across the pond, ladies.

Watch “Ace Ventura: Pet Detective” if you want to know what “tucks” means. ;)

She wont be back at her nightly Gig when her contract expires. She has aspirations to be the next Barbara Walters AKA: Barbara WAWA.

It is ONLY about attacking conservatives.

Its even simpler than that... the gender card is the only card Hillary has to play in this election. Just like the race card was pretty much all Obama had.

This was totally expected.

No I won’t watch Me Gyn Ho Kelly Trump interview, I won’t help her get ratings.

Kelly is a Hemorrhoid on the political process.

and then he’ll find the forest that provided the trees the box was made out of and burn it down too!

Point is, Megyn Kelly is part of Fox News at this point at least, and as Cruz likes to say “there could be reprecussions”...

I’ve thought for some time she is looking to bolt, go indie and become the next Baba Wawa, using her “star power” to make millions doing whatever she wants to rather than having to show up every day for an actual job. Trump is her meal ticket, but we’ll see if it gets punched.

So did Megyn actually say this quoted title or is it another attempt by the sensationalized media to impress upon her what they think she is truly saying.

If the latter I hate dishonest garbage articles used to stir emotional drivel

I’ve seen her. I’ve seen her Trump performance at the debate. I’ve seen the flak she caught and I’ve seen the change in her look and persona since then.

Frankly, I don’t care what she says now or what she thinks as long as it isn’t taken as something from a responsible ‘journalist’.

I’ve seen what she’d do to rise above the fray showing her ass and listening to her on Howard Stern, and I’ve been exposed enough in the aftermath of her failed attempt to take down Trump at the debate, and I don’t care if you think it is emotional ‘drivel’ or not.

I wish Mr. Trump wasn’t such a nice man sometimes and hadn’t agreed to grant her this interview. She only went to Trump Tower to finagle him for one reason: RATINGS!!! Without him, her new show would suck and nobody (including me) would bother watching. Tonight, I will tune in, hoping he is the first of the four interviewees and then change the channel. I dread having to suffer through a tantalizing wait to see Trump and tolerate her.
He should not have given her the satisfaction. She was not sincere and has perpetrated herself as a victim, whom we should feel pity.
Last night, her regular show was pretty much another anti-Trump his job—and she even had the gall to invite Donald Trump, Jr. on, who, like his father, is too much of a good sport. Once his interview ended, I left until Hannity came on.

They have made peace in his latest interview with her. Not saying I’m a fan however the media has a way of keeping a non-story a story and common people emotionally tied to a theme.

If they’ve made peace let bygones be bygones and move on

I don’t mind making peace. But to pretend this person has anything substantive or legitimately contributory to the political scene from an unbiased perspective is patently foolish.

Is it my imagination or is M. Kelly looking more man-like every day. I swear to God she tucks.

Well, I won’t disagree with that. I just don’t think this person matters one iota now in the scheme of things. I’ll shut up about her then. :0)

If Megyn Again Kelly wanted to do a real interview re abused and sexually abused women, she should interview Bill Clintoon’s beard wife!

EXCLUSIVE – Clinton’s Alleged Ex-Lover: Hillary a ‘Terrorist,’ ‘Sex Addict’ Bill Told Me He Had sex with about 2,000 women.
Breitbart ^ | 15 May 2016 | Aaron Klhad

Posted on 5/15/2016, 7:14:59 AM by detective

Full title:
EXCLUSIVE – Clinton’s Alleged Ex-Lover: Hillary a ‘Terrorist,’ ‘Sex Addict’ Bill Told Me He Had 2,000 Women

Hillary Clinton is not only an “enabler,” she is a “terrorist” who “terrorizes” her husband’s alleged lovers and women who accuse him of sexual assault, says Dallas lawyer Dolly Kyle, who says she had a long-running affair with Bill Clinton.

In an interview, Kyle claimed that “Billy” Clinton, as she called him, once boasted to her that he had had sex with about 2,000 women. She described Clinton as a “sex addict” who has some “sick, sick need” to “control women.”

“Aaron, Hillary is an enabler is about the nicest thing you can say about her,” stated Kyle when asked about a statement last Friday from Donald Trump, who slammed Hillary Clinton as an “unbelievably nasty, mean enabler” who “destroyed” the lives of her husband’s mistresses and alleged victims.
