Quinn: To feminists, even "a childless feminist who looks like a Bulgarian weightlifter in drag" can be a "real woman"
SUMMARY: On the syndicated radio show The War Room with Quinn & Rose, Jim Quinn stated: "If you don't agree with the feminist scolds, then you're not a real woman -- even if you are a very feminine working mom. But even if you're an actual man, never mind a childless feminist who looks like a Bulgarian weightlifter in drag, you're a real woman solely because you nod your head like a windup clapping monkey every time you read the latest editorial from Ms. Magazine."
On the September 15 broadcast of The War Room with Quinn & Rose, co-host Jim Quinn stated: "If you don't agree with the feminist scolds, then you're not a real woman -- even if you are a very feminine working mom." He continued: "But even if you're an actual man, never mind a childless feminist who looks like a Bulgarian weightlifter in drag, you're a real woman solely because you nod your head like a windup clapping monkey every time you read the latest editorial from Ms. Magazine. Recall how they christened Bill Clinton as the first female president, too?" Quinn then added, "But here's the fun part. Feminists are hooked on their own Kool-Aid. They actually believe the stuff they say. The shrill, angry women that you see on MSNBC claiming to speak for all women actually believe that they do."
As Media Matters for America noted, Quinn previously referred to the National Organization for Women as the "National Organization for Whores." Discussing that comment on a later show, Quinn said: "There is a reason for that. The reason is that's just what they are. They're political whores. They are whores for liberalism in general." Additionally, Media Matters documented that Quinn introduced an August 27 segment about Sen. Hillary Clinton by playing the song "The Bitch Is Back."
The War Room With Quinn & Rose is a syndicated radio program based in Pittsburgh on Clear Channel's WPGB 104.7 FM. Talkers Magazine lists Quinn & Rose on its "Heavy Hundred" list, which it describes as a list of the "100 most important radio talk show hosts in America." According to the show's website, it airs on 17 radio stations and XM Satellite Radio.
From the September 15 broadcast of Clear Channel's The War Room with Quinn & Rose:
QUINN: Feminists have argued for decades that womanhood is an existential and metaphysical state of enlightenment, but they have no problem questioning whether women they hate are really women at all. Since we know from basic science that [Gov. Sarah] Palin is a woman -- after all, she's had five kids, for starters -- it's clear that these ideological thugs aren't talking about actual, I mean, you know, facts or anything, they're just doing what people of totalitarian mindsets always do -- they bully heretics, they demonize enemies, and they whip the troops into line. Basically, they refuse to accept reality, which is the hallmark of liberalism.
The academic feminist left has scared the dickens out of the mainstream men and women for so long, the liberal establishment is terrified to contradict feminists -- neigh upon theological conviction -- that female authenticity is measured by one's blind loyalty to left-wing talking points. This is a version of the Marxist doctrine of false consciousness, which holds that you are not an authentic member of the proletariat unless you agree with Marxism.
Now, it works like this: If you don't agree with the feminist scolds, then you're not a real woman -- even if you are a very feminine working mom. But even if you're an actual man, never mind a childless feminist who looks like a Bulgarian weightlifter in drag, you're a real woman solely because you nod your head like a windup clapping monkey every time you read the latest editorial from Ms. Magazine. Recall how they christened Bill Clinton as the first female president, too?
But here's the fun part. Feminists are hooked on their own Kool-Aid. They actually believe the stuff they say. The shrill, angry women that you see on MSNBC claiming to speak for all women actually believe that they do.















Bill Clinton was the first female president? Who verified that?
*shudders*
QQUIN PUNKS FRENCH CUFF BIDEN VP CHOICE.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A BULGARIAN WEIGHTLIFETER IN DRAG AND AN EXISTENTIAL AND METAPHYSICAL STATE OF ENLIGHTENMENT?!!!!!
COULD IT BE .... LIPSTICK?!?!?!?!
Face it: Us gentlemen will never understand Bulgarian weightlifters.
We work hard every day to give them everything they need - pretty unitards, a good gym, we put food on the training table... And even with all that, they're still not happy. They say they don't feel like they're accomplishing something. WTF? What I want to know is who's been filling their silly heads with these ridiculous ideas? What happened to the days when a Bulgarian weightlifter was happy just raising barbells, doing the cleaning and jerking, pressing, and maybe working on their snatch a little? That sounds like accomplishing something to me. After a hard days work, putting up with a demanding boss and irrational customers, we just want to go to the gym for a little relaxation, but they're immediately in our ear whining about how we didn't notice that they'd put on a little extra weight...
Nope, guys. We'll NEVER figure out Bulgarian weightlifters. So it's a good thing we got a guy like this Quinn feller to keep them in line.
!!!OOL!!!
(OINKING OUT LOUD!!!!)
A few random thoughts...
When I watch and listen to Barack Obama I am pretty much oblivious to his race. When I see and hear Hillary Clinton her gender is irrelevant. I see a serious and formidable politician. When I watch and listen to Sarah Palin I see and hear female affectation. Girlish inflections in her voice, coy facial expressions...someone who has learned to use femininity to full advantage in small-town politics. But on a national stage her demeanor stands out as affectatious and shallow...at least in my opinion. Is this what Jim Quinn idealizes? A woman who "acts" like a woman? The real question shouldn't be whether a woman in politics or in the work force is feminine. It's whether she's competent. But you have to ask yourself if there are ambitious women who use "femininity" to compensate for a lack of substance to achieve their goals. Is Quinn okay with that?
That stuff might work when you're in charge but i think it works against you when you are playing defense.
She can see Russia from her porch.
And on Sundays she and her kids shoot at Russian wolves from their front yard. ;>)
IRONY:"And, for the record, I'd be just as critical of a "pretty boy" too."
whenwere you on the record complaining about John Edwards???
MissDee, I think you may be confused as to the meaning of "pretty boy". Quite a Cal Ripkenesque streak of cluelessness you've got going there.
Let's step it up a notch, MD. Even some of the most incompetent trolls here get the broken clock allowance in being right occasionally. I don't think I've ever seen you demonstrate even a remote grasp of what's going on in the reality -based community.
The only people trying to paint Edwards as a pretty boy were those who had the same ideas about him that that a few here have about Palin.
She is playing to her attractivness, selling it. If Edwards had made any effort to use this tactic I didn't see it.
It is kind of what you want to use as an attack point on a dem. Either the grooming is excessive, or too drab, wrong colors, wrong material, or dosn't he care what he looks like? You'll always find something to complain about a dem's image and act as if it was of great importance.
I assume you voted for shrub and will for the same reasons/feelings vote republican again. Your happy with how its gone so far and look hopefully for more of the same then?
As a female I find Sarah Palin disturbing and the whole pick condesending to women in general. Typical of McBush however.
To me, it's reminiscent of Poppy Bush's nominating Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court. That was the BEST African-American he could find? Pul-LEASE!!!!!
To me it was reminiscent of Clinton's intern pick of who was going to give him a bl0w j0b in the white house.
Has dumb blonde written all over it. (I wonder if they dyed their hair?)
Jim Quinn has a sense of humor--something that his Media Matters critics obviously lack.
"The academic feminist left has scared the dickens out of the mainstream men and women for so long, the liberal establishment is terrified to contradict feminists"
I really wish Quinn would leave Charlie Dickens out of this whole affair. But you're right, he is a Pip, although I don't have Great Expectations of him. I rather think he lives in a Bleak House of cards. I think he's gonna come upon Hard Times.
"But even if you're an actual man, never mind a childless feminist who looks like a Bulgarian weightlifter in drag"
My first thought on reading this was "are they talking about Ann Coulter?" Seriously (except for the weightlifter, and feminist).
I wonder if NOW is hearing this stuff from this jagoff. Maybe they should get involved, not for their organization but for Radio Rosie who just sits beside the Sexual Harrasser Quinn (google has it) and takes it. Could it be that he has control over her?
The main thing to remember about Quinny is that he reads most of his "show". Makes me wonder where he found this on the internets?
Tomorrow between 6-7, he will comment about MMFA but will not explain himself. He will also equate the bailout of AIG to eliminating free speech on the radio..But before then, I will call one of the few advertisers he has and file a complaint with them. Or, I'll have a FEMALE do it.
Check out this article about how Sarah Palin, as soon as she was elected Mayor of Wasilla, redecorated her office, at city expense and without authority in the manner of a bordello. Also, I like the part at the end which even questions her high school basketball career. Locals believe she was given playing time because she sucked up to the coach...

With all deference to Snoopy's pics....
Would you consider any of these to be members of the Swedish Parachutist Team?
Weightlifting sure takes a toll.
boyisayboy,
I'm troubled by your subliminal phalic reference in the background of your picture.
What are you saying, behind every Bulgarian female weightlifter there must be an exploitive male sexist or lighthouse pumpin iron? Oh, the bigotry!!!
"I’m stunned - couldn’t the Republican Party find one competent female with adult children to run for Vice President with McCain? I realize his advisors probably didn’t want a “mature” woman, as the Democrats keep harping on his age. But really, what kind of role model is a woman whose fifth child was recently born with a serious issue, Down Syndrome, and then goes back to the job of Governor within days of the birth?"
-Dr. Laura.
sadsackrussiandylanwannabe,
The virtues of Dr. Laura praised here on Media Matters (very little)!
Can't wait to hear what she has to say about other topics discussed here on MM(vl). Look forward to your future links....
Congratulations -- that's the point. Dr. Laura's criticism of Palin is based exclusively on her motherhood and womanhood. Contrast that to the criticism of Palin by feminist liberals who take issue with her political positions and qualifications.
I'm troubled by the issue of "ugly" women. Even the people that decry what this man has said, laugh and post pictures of women that are not beauty queens. Sick Bastards!
When will people learn that beauty is only skin deep.
Uphold these "uglies" as beautiful people, stop your derision.
Down with beauty queens!
Femi-nazi's unite, replace a queens' anti-wrinkle cream today with goats wart cream.
Start wearing lipstick even if it looks like a pig in lipstick. Run up and kiss every politician you meet, every radio host you meet. Put some lipstick on the real pigs.
personal views about women and her own brief role in politics and how to govern that show her up, not the "attacks" by the mean old media or the Dems.
Why am I thinking of "Borat"?
