You can cull just that part of his remarks. He said women are sluts who use contraceptives to avoid the consequences of their libidos, or words very much like that. All of your pufferwally in defense will be ignored by women.
Stupid, stupid comment by Huck, who now will not be a candidate for President.
Lets take a look at what Huckabee actually said -
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee says that Democrats are pushing women to believe “they cannot control their libido or their reproductive system without the help of the government.”
So he never called women sluts, he never said women can't control their libidos, he never said women were incapable of anything. he said democrats are pushing women to believe.
He went on to say -
"Let us take this discussion all across America because women are far more than the Democrats have played them to be."
so he complimented women saying they are much more than democrats give them credit for.
When we take a look at what he actually said it becomes very evident that not a single liberal here has a clue what he said. or in typical liberal fashion are trying to spin the facts. Either way libs really need to hone their comprehension skills. if they think they can spin his comments in to a negative on women and believe they can get women to buy into it. Well then Huckabee's words really ring true. The left thinks women are idiots.
This is exactly what I have a problem with;
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee says that Democrats are pushing women to believe...
Huckabee is neither a Dem nor a woman. He is not privy to their beliefs either.
He is essentially making an allegation about which he has, at best, a biased partisan opinion but absolutely zero first hand knowledge at all.
So it is understandable that this appears to be a partisan misogynistic slur aimed at moderate/liberal women who know exactly what they believe.
Before one speaks it is often worthwhile to put oneself in the shoes of the audience. It might be exactly what those he was speaking to wanted to hear but it wasn't as well received by the wider audience who would have to embrace what he just said if the GOP wants to take the Whitehouse in 2016.
