Planned Parenthood protesters threw condoms at Carly Fiorina today while she campaigned at a tailgate party for the Iowa Hawkeyes.
The protesters, some of whom were affiliated with the women's health group and others who were supporters, were dressed in pink and waved pink pom-poms as they followed the Republican presidential candidate around the tailgate, chanting "Carly Fiorina offsides for telling lies" and "women are watching and we vote."
Some people in the crowd supporting Fiorina shouted back at the pink-clad protesters, "So do we!"
Fiorina has been having a war-of-words with Planned Parenthood ever since last week's debate when she made the claim that an undercover video from the conservative Center for Medical Progress showed a fully-formed fetus being kept alive to harvest its brain.
You know I don't necessarily think this is helping, but I have to admit, it's kind of funny.
And it's not like Firona doesn't deserve it, after making that garbage up about those Planned Parenthood videos and refusing to correct herself after so many journalists called her out on her misinformation.
And apparently she STILL has no intention of admitting her mistake:
"Oh I support women's health".
"You need to ask yourself some questions [like] why is it that fetuses are butchered alive to harvest their brains. Why?"
Yeah that's what we need in the White House, yet another idiot whose opinion cannot be changed by new information, or the debunking of their old information.
Update: Fiorina was again given the opportunity to correct this today on Meet the Press:
“There is no evidence that the scene you described exists,” Todd said. “Are you willing now to concede that you exaggerated that scene?”
“No, not at all,” Fiorina responded. “That scene absolutely does exist. And that voice saying what I said they were saying, ‘We're going to keep it alive to harvest its brain,’ exists as well’.”
“Planned Parenthood will not and cannot deny this because it is happening,” Fiorina continued. “It is happening in this nation. And taxpayers are paying for it. Planned Parenthood desperately wants everyone to think this isn't going on. Because when Americans realize it is going on, whether they are pro-life or pro-choice, they are horrified. This goes to the character of our nation and it must be stopped.”
Todd accused Fiorina of ducking the issue, saying “the footage you describe at best is a reenactment.” Fiorina hit back, and criticized Todd for not asking Hillary Clinton about the issue when she sat for an interview earlier in the day.
“Chuck, Chuck, Chuck, Chuck, Chuck,” Fiorina said, talking over the anchor. “Do you think this is not happening? Does Hillary Clinton think this is not happening? So sad that you missed the opportunity to ask Mrs. Clinton why she said, ‘Late-term abortions were only performed for medical purposes.’ That is patently false. This is happening in America today. And taxpayers are paying for it. That is a fact. It is a reality. And no one can run away from it.”
And there you go. THAT is what it takes to be third in the polls right now.
Fetuses are harvested for their brains???
ReplyDeleteThat's a new one.
Yes. 15 week fetal brains are harvested, and then all the people running for office as Republicans are injected with those cells. It is hoped that those new cells will overcome their diseased brains. So far, the results are not promising.
DeleteBig LOL! -- SallyinMI
DeleteWhat a crock, Carly, anyone with any kind of education knows that brains are not even fully developed at birth.
DeleteI don't think GOP brains are ever fully developed.
DeleteSally! You win the Internet for today.
DeleteOP here...always loved me some SallyinMI. :)
DeleteI'm blushing.

ReplyDelete"Carly Fiorina said on Sunday she had plenty of job offers after being fired as the CEO of Hewlett Packard, including posts in the George W. Bush administration, but she decided against them."
Carly Sneed was offered a chance to be a part of the Dubya "Mission Accomplished" team? After she wrecked HP? I can kind of believe this one.

And she decided not to take any of them...why, exactly?
DeleteI think Trump is right on this one count: she was a terrible CEO and nobody in their right mind would have given her another public company to run after the HP debacle. Having raked in millions at HP, including $65M in stock as part of her signing offer, one can moreover just imagine how enthusiastic she would have been about a political appointment with a top salary in the neighborhood of $150K (assuming there actually were offers)
If you just got paid $21 million to GTFO after publicly blowing up a Fortune 50 company would you have been looking for real work? Or a gold plated hole to hide in? :-(
DeleteOff topic
ReplyDeleteJeb! has an ooops.
http://crooksandliars.com/2015/09/thats-just-way-it-jeb-bush-explains-why-1
Just the way it is OR why the plutocrats hire the BushCo brothers to git-r-dun. You decide.
Jeb saying his brother kept the US safe while President is like saying God kept 6 million Jews safe from the Nazi's.
DeleteHad a look at your link -- 9:37 -- and doubt Chris Wallace has a future on Fox. It was FINALLY a feet-to-the-fire interview of one of these Bozos!! running for office. Running off their mouths, more like.
ReplyDeleteShe's a liar and it's time she gets called out for it. She's also a joke so throwing condoms at her is pretty funny.
ReplyDeleteThey threw them at her because she is a dick.
DeleteWere they used and wrapped in wash cloths?
DeleteHaha that's another baffoon story.
DeleteTHIS FUCKING SUCKS:
ReplyDeletehttp://aattp.org/check-out-the-jewish-circumcision-ritual-that-leaves-newborns-with-oral-herpes/
Carly it's simple, where's the video?
ReplyDeleteIt's safely locked away in the same Super-Duper-Secret Location with all the evidence that Trump's detectives found in Hawaii, proving that President Obama was born in Kenya.
DeleteThey made their own video to prove they were right. Completely manufactured to support what Fiorina said.
DeleteShe's playing to a very dangerous rabid base. And when she's gone, we'll still have to deal with the worked up wackos she incensed.
Talking over everyone , especially if you disagree with them is the GOP way.
ReplyDeleteThey have zero social skills..
Carly, is just another imbecile.Too much time on her hands and no friends.
If you have to scream your interviewer's name over and over again, you are only proving yourself unhinged and incapable of intelligent discourse.
DeleteAgree 10:43. She's just another spoiled, entitled, fast-talking GOPer with nothing to do, whom no one wants for ANYTHING. Carly failed as a CEO, she's now bored stiff, so she runs for President to feed her suffering ego.
DeleteShe lies like Michele Bachmann. They both tell whoppers.
ReplyDeleteReligious,with no personal morals to REIN in one's self.
DeleteCarly Fiorina's butthurt- today's WaPo waaaaaah edition.
ReplyDelete"And Fiorina said The Washington Post lacked credibility to criticize her on the abortion issue because its fact checker also questioned her claim that she rose from secretary to CEO of HP.
"I don’t know how to deal with that," she said."
What's her problem? FACTS!
Read this! Here is what has her all weeweed up.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/fact-checker/wp/2015/09/25/carly-fiorinas-bogus-secretary-to-ceo-career-trajectory-fact-checker-biography/
Since the truth is against their script, lies are all they have left. Just like the Tundra Twat.
ReplyDeleteIf we harvested the brains from all the of the R presidential candidates, TriG would be smarter.
Carly Fiorina: liar, liar, 700 dollar shoes on fire.
ReplyDeleteShe's gunning for top dunce spot. Oh, wait, she's already there.
ReplyDeleteMs. Sneed is vicious and evil.
ReplyDeleteI watched the whole interview -- she is one smooth debater. She will never back down on the PP fetus-for-brain thing. Never. But her face showed that she was flinching (even lying) about it.
ReplyDeleteIf I were a cop, I wouldn't believe that she saw the footage herself. She claims over and over "it IS happening!" so actual proof or footage doesn't really matter. Typical delusional logic
which never lets facts get in the way of a good story.
"Harvesting fetuses for their brains" is a headline for National Enquirer, the news newspaper of choice for her base.
It's akin to me claiming aliens are kidnapping people to do anal probing and when pressed to prove it I shout "IT *IS* HAPPENING! Then I create a YouTube video to prove it.
DeleteSlather an infant in gelatin and put it on a tray. Easy peasy. Break out the video camera.
DeleteBeing offered a job in The Bush administration Isn't exactly an honor. What a lying despicable twunt.
ReplyDeleteWhat a waste of condoms. Flipping the bird is much more effective and costs little. What, exactlty, would PP do with "Harvested fetal brains?
ReplyDeleteSaw the MTP interview,and I knew from jump street she was ready with her practiced lies. Her hair was done, her make up was carefully applied, and her fangs were filed down.
When asked why she didn't pursue CEO jobs she said she was tired of it and wanted to apply her talents to non profits, Not your typical career move, especially a female "self made" CEO.
Chuck Todd let her off the hook too many times.
Carly is fueled by spite and hatred for being diminished during her highness's reign at HP. Hell hath no fury like a narcissistic CEO scorned. There isn't anything that is beneath her.
ReplyDeleteI have a sister who's a narcissist. 11 yrs later she can't let go of an apology she had to give to . She doesn't do apologies,I guess.
DeleteCan you imagine Carly's picture on a $2 bill?
ReplyDeleteYou know I don't necessarily think this is helping
ReplyDelete---------------
Maybe not, but it lets her know not all of us arrived on the turnip trunk and we are not buying her LIES.
Also too, don't you just love it when a journalist either asks a "challenging question" or insinuates they are lying, the rethugs try and put it off by bringing the Democrats into their mess.
It's not so much that she is an evil fucking liar, it is the aftermath.
ReplyDeleteThis is *never* going away.
It's bad enough there are still knuckle draggers that believe the debunked Planned Parenthood videos even though they have been proven over and over to be edited into lies.
Now we have Carly's made up video to "prove" what she said was true and her going it's happening, it's happening.
It's the new Benghazi. It will never go away and there will always be a dangerous right wing rabid mouth drooling base that will believe it.
They won't stop until they do to Planned Parenthood what they did to Acorn.
BTW I'd like to know why another non-profit wasn't formed to take over for Acorn. Why did we just roll over and let this die?
If they kill Planned Parenthood, will nothing be created to take over and fill that void? Or will we just roll over and play dead?
