SATIRE: Santorum: Being Female is a Mental Disorder

It's Satire. Hell, read the heading on the web page: "News that's almost reliable"

Though... "almost reliable"is about the same as Fox, but at least this "news" site is being honest.

Free Wood Post is The Onion for politics. The thing about great satire is that it could be true.

So do I.

Btw, fun seed. On the other hand, it might not be satire because, "Truth is stranger than fiction." :)

"It has been my experience that when dealing with females, you need to treat them as though they have a mental disorder… especially those that are constantly seeking equality in the workplace, the military, and in the home.

This not intended to be factual, it's satire. It 'feels' factual, though.

I suspect this is something ricky could easily say.. and has probably thought... I expect to hear something close to this over the next several months.. we shall see..

it might not be satire because, "Truth is stranger than fiction." :)

yes it is...

sad thing is (for him) that if h did indeed say this he just put another nail in his and his ilks political coffin. Now lets all sit back and see how many of the rightwing types expose themselves by defending this bozo's comments and mentality.

Believing in any man-made religion is a mental disorder.

Santorum believes in the "bible" preferring theocra(z)y over democracy.

Thus he is a mental patient.

Wanna bet that "santorumism" ends up in the DSM before "femaleness"? :-D

Surprise. This coming from the world's leading moron. This guy wants to suck a cock so much that he's trying to do anything to make women look bad....so when he does do it he will feel good about himself because those women are just so stupid. He had to give blowjobs to all his male staffers and supporters to show thanks.

I often wonder when his supporters look in the mirror do they know what douchebags they are?

Slice the Onion.

I'm happy to see you too. I feel pretty factual, but in fact, I'm just another meme.

[cyberwaving] I noticed from reading your comments that you are having a lot of fun this morning - I've laughed out loud at a couple of comments including the one above

nobody's been able to prove that he's down low prolly he wants to suck but knows ain't a good idea to do it

This is the problem with republicans today, they are all mentally ill. Anyone who in their right mind would consider voting republican in any election, is not in their right mind.

The problem IS their "Right" mind.

Why has it become acceptable to refer to people as "douchebags"?

No, being a Regressive,Right Wing Ideolouges is the 'mental disorder'...Ricky! Trying to be a Troglodites in the 21st century, is the mental disorder...Ricky!

magnoliaave: It's always been acceptable to refer to Republicans as Douchebags.

Because they're Douchebags. Get it?

All we need to do is to get marcus to confirm it. Maybe he's onto something? All the females can be repaired. Hallelujah. /S/S/S

Maybe he's onto something?

Likely a male sexual organ. Perhaps rickie can be taken to the animal shelter,sit next to mitt's dog,and they can both be 'fixed' properly. 'Sit on it Potsie.'

Regardless of the veracity of the article, Santorum is this strange political animal who actually shows his stripes.

Grae remarked above:

The thing about great satire is that it could be true.

Santorum gave a speech at Ave Maria, and the following IS NOT SATIRE:

This is not a political war at all. This is not a cultural war. This is a spiritual war. And the Father of Lies has his sights on what you would think the Father of Lies would have his sights on: a good, decent, powerful, influential country – the United States of America. If you were Satan, who would you attack in this day and age? There is no one else to go after other than the United States and that has been the case now for almost two hundred years, once America’s preeminence was sown by our great Founding Fathers.

Read the remainder of the speech at http://thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/rick-santorum-satan-is-destroying-america/news/2012/02/18/34991

The fact many people had to work so hard to understand this as satire instead of something the guy legitimately could have said (given how close it is to what he's said in the past) is very telling.

Great satirical piece.

Santorum may not have come right out and said these things, but he sure as heck seem to imply it often enough. Actions do speak louder than words, and judging by his actions, this satirical story reflect his thoughts to a T.

Great Satire, but in all satire there is some form of truth. Santorum has basically danced around saying this.

LMAO, but the sad thing is , it would not surprise me if he actually believed this :)

I've known some crazy bitches....

CC

oh, come on now??? :) :)

Maybe Mr Santorum can team up with Marcus Bachman to open a "Pray the Va-jay-jay Away" clinic.

lol

You can't pray the Va-jay-jay Away....it's here to stay

Some few hundred years back, during the Renascence(sp?) I believe it was, a "scientist" was trying to discover what made things born either male or female. He used for his study, birds. He noticed that depending upon temperature of incubation the egg hatched either a male or female bird.

Males incubated at a slightly higher temperature than the females. This led to the conclusion that females are naturally the result of a birth defect.

Bare with me now, I'm coming to the crazy....

Well the Pope (I think it was Pious but can't remember, sorry. It was one of the earliest Popes at any rate.) took this idea and ran with it. If women are the result of a birth defect, and god made "man" in his image, then naturally women aren't really humans at all!

Oh, I'm sure you get where all this is going. Now this little papal bull (@!$%#) was never rescinded, as most never are. Hey, the Pope is infallible and never makes mistakes, right?

The stupid certainly explains attitudes. But....

If women aren't really "human", doesn't that mean all males throughout the ages have been marrying and 'reproducing' with non-humans?
*snort*
Just sayin'.....

LOL, daMamma, I'm sure that that pope had just as good a connection to God's science department as the one who threatened to do nasty things to Galileo if he didn't recant his blaspheme that the earth was not the center of creation.

If women aren't really "human", doesn't that mean all males throughout the ages have been marrying and 'reproducing' with non-humans?

OMG, Santorum had it backwards. Heterosexual marriage leads to man on dog sex. The only marriage that should be allowed in same sex. That way the female species marries within their species and the male species marries within their species. Santorum is committing bestiality!!!!! /sarc.

We should tie rocks to him and toss him in water to see if he is a witch.

Oh please don't give these idiots any ideas about 'witches'. They'll be bringing back hunts next. Women were tortured and killed by the tens of thousands for having knowledge or independence. I'd rather not go back there.
: )

Did you miss the rite of protection Palin received against the influence of witches in 2008? I am not bringing back any ideas they are not currently psychotic about. That is the truly sad and scary part. This is where these people need serious psychological intervention.

I've seen that. Truly scary indeed!

I've seen that. Truly scary indeed!

Merits constant repeating.

Yes it does.

Ask Fox. They already think it doesn't.

It does do a disservice to political discourse. After all, there are still people who think Sarah Palin actually said "I can see Russia from my house!" (that was really Tina Fey of Saturday Night Live)

Deliberate misquotes have since become a bane of civil discourse, as politicians fall prey to them. For example, the infamous "Dean Scream" which eventually led to frontrunner Howard Dean dropping out of the race was rarely played in context. Rather it was remixed, set to music and otherwise ridiculed far beyond the minor outburst it was.

It's getting to be downright irresponsible journalism (not calling Tina Fey or Dave Chappelle journalists) to sabotage campaigns in this manner.

It does do a disservice to political discourse. After all, there are still people who think Sarah Palin actually said "I can see Russia from my house!"

The truth is, if she had said she could see Russia from her house, it would have been funny and taken as a joke. But Sarah was actually trying to claim seeing Russia from Alaska as her foreign policy experience. >.<

It does do a disservice to political discourse. After all, there are still people who think Sarah Palin actually said "I can see Russia from my house!"

yeah and that Gore invented the internet

McCain has an black child out of wedlock

Obama is a muslim

Obama isn't a citizen

That Iraq could attack the US with nukes inside of 45 minutes

That iraq has WMDs

that AQ was in Iraq

that the gulf on tonkin actually happened

That ollie north is a hero

That any of the remaining GOP candidates are Reagan conservatives

that liberals are all godless

The trickle down has worked

That Obama wants to ban guns

This is journalism at its best. If people don't grasp the difference between reality and disproportionate discourse, they should probably excuse themselves from the table of politics.

George Carlin (comedian) used to say "Take your guy with average intelligence, and then realize half the people are dumber than that!"

I look at the scoundrels in Washington D.C., people elected by the voters, and I can only come to one conclusion... American voters really can be dumber than dirt.

I mean, Bill Clinton womanizing. Who was surprised by that, really? W. Bush, a Texas guy giving no-bid contracts to Halliburton. What a shocker that was... NOT!

Then there's the Vice Presidents who have been nothing but idjuts, a tradition I think Bush41 started with Dan "Potatoe" Quayle. Then there's Al "The Tree" Gore, "Deadeye" Dick Cheney, and now Joe "The Plagiarist" Biden sitting one heartbeat away from the Presidency.

It's like some kind of warped job security guarantee. It says "if you impeach the President, then this lunatic Veep is going to be your punishment!"

That's why you don't hear a peep from Republicans about impeaching Obama. If you want to see Republicans reduced to tears, just watch 'em when Joe Biden walks into the room to the tune of "Hail To The Chief".

The voters choose these guys! My faith in the intelligence of the average American voter is all but gone.

That's why you don't hear a peep from Republicans about impeaching Obama.

That is satire, correct MeanGene?

#2.7 MeanGene....I'm not too big a fan of yours....BUT....that's one of the funniest posts I've read. I almost choked on my Frosted Flakes.

Nice.

Live this seed!!

Thanks for sharing!

(continued from #2.6)..

that the surge worked

that the stimulus failed

that protestants aren't really christians

that Obama (harvard) is elitist but Bush (harvard and yale) isn't

that more money is not the solution for better education

that more money IS the solution for a better military

that Obama is a communist

that Obama is chimpanzee

that Obama is a witch-doctor

that Obama grows watermelons on the White House lawn

that Obama is trying to outlaw vegatable gardens

that Newt Gingrich is a model of family values

that" corporations are people, my friend"

that a single mother working 2 jobs to raise her kids doesn't need help

that Exxon/Mobil, making hundreds of billions per year in profits, needs more subsidies

that gunsights were actually surveyor's symbols

....

meangene- "you don't hear a peep from Republicans about impeaching Obama"

Really?!? LOL!!!

Really?!?

/sarc

lol

Live... gosh darn my own haste! I should have said love.... LOL

Be the seed. Live the seed.

BD Styers--

Yours is satire. The article I wrote yesterday and posted on my page isn't. I included some of the ridiculous things said about women by Santorum (and others).

It's called:

The GOP's Headless Woman

It's up there on my page if you're interested. Obviously we both had the same theme about Santorum...and women.

BD:

A mere tag isn't enough. From the CoH:

Until additional News Types are supported, indicate the nature of your article/seed in the headline, when appropriate, following the form: "[Type]: [Headline]". This standard applies to the following non-exhaustive list of News Types: Satire, Rumor, Poetry, Comic/Illustration, Review.

That especially applies in a case like this where commenters are mistaking the satirical quote for a genuine one.

jfx does make a good point.

I knew this was satire, mostly because we come to expect it with politics, but the quote was a bit.. um, over-the-top, so that was a clue. :) However, I have been caught six times on the Vine with other articles. I had no reason or experience in those areas to be suspicious of parody or satire. ..It's kinda nice to be able to go through life not having to be suspicious of everything, ya know?!! ..lol

That especially applies in a case like this where commenters are mistaking the satirical quote for a genuine one.

Wow people miss that a seed titled "Satire: Santorum: Being Female..." is not serious but satire? Does not speak well for viners in general. The word is right in the title.
