"I think I made myself clear, young lady!"

[Matt571]

He is so condescending - and typically he used the term "lady", which in this context is equally as condescending as his attitude, as well as so paternalistic.

[whitecrow667]

He needs new glasses.. she's not a 'young lady'.. of course to the old men in politics she would seem so... *shrug*

[Virginityrocks]

@whitecrow667 He was trying to be condescending. Youth is synonymous with ignorance. When you call someone 'sweaty'. or 'darling' when pointing out their mistakes, you're being condescending.

McDonnell is a dominionist, google Christian dominionists and see what they have planned for this nation. Even if you are a misogynist like McDonnell you won't like what they have in store for you. Death penalty for minor crimes like theft and adultery?

[juneaux]

look it up. They want to get into high positions of government and change the laws to old testament biblical laws. Also they consider anyone who is NOT a dominionist to be a heretic. That means ANY branch of Christianity not theirs as well as any other religions as well (or lack there of) So be careful what you wish for.

[supermanco]

wow

[sllywbt]

his look at the end is priceless...stop being mean to me....Obama, help meeeee

[tweaker214]

lol

[sllywbt]

I cant wait for the talking heads to try and explain Deed's loss. They will spend all their time talking about Jersey IF Jersey falls back again under the minions of the Dems...........poor Jersey more taxes and more job losses

[Nobama0000]

Naughty, naughty Mr. Deeds, this race is over, son.

[JimmyPyeahUknowMe]

Tradeofjane, you idiot. This douchebag goes on the attack because he's been busted lying about not raising taxes. You jackass liberals all act like bitches on the rag. Just because he smiles when he snaps at this reporter doesn't mean he's not snapping.

[Tradeofjane]

He said it with a smile on his face so how exactly did he snap at her? I swear you republicans are getting dumber each day. This is all you got? There is a 93-page thesis by Bob McDonnell where he degrades the roles of women and shows his support for rapists by not allowing an innocent rape victim the right to an abortion. Wow. I'm sure Bob is pretty proud of himself now.

[jimbojim68]

Wow, if someone "snapped" at me like that I guess I wouldn't know it since they were smiling and so nice. McDonnell doesn't even believe women should work, so how would 99% of women rather be treated?

[james3hicks]

See they do think we're stupid! LOL what a rationalization that comment is jimbojim68. Deeds continuing to attack McDonnell on womens issues is even more incredulous.

[superlfy42]

if he doesnt think women should work, why are so many ladies working for him?

[jimbojim68]

Because they don't like Democrats and oppose abortion for any reason, including rape.

In his 1989 thesis, 34-year-old McDonnell said "government policy should favor married couples over 'cohabitators, homosexuals or fornicators.'" He "described working women and feminists as 'detrimental' to the family." He "criticized a landmark 1965 Supreme Court decision" which legalized the use of contraceptives by married couples. In the thesis, he argued for government intervention on social issues.

[superlfy42]

So is this twenty year old paper the only thing you are going to be thinking about in the poll booth? what else are you going to consider when picking the governor? Granted hearing that statement from anyone is concerning but that just begs the question "what are his views NOW?"

[Permaglo]

What would the Republicans prefer that he call her, an old hag?

[Reggid123]

no, maam is better reference, or miss.

[Matt571]

@Reggid123 I agree totally - M'aam would be more appropriate.  I've never understood this "lady" thing - Deeds wouldn't call a male reporter "young gentleman". Why is it that people (in many contexts) don't use the word "woman" yet will call a man a "man". "Lady" isn't the equivalent to "man".

[crashgrab]

What else do you call a younger woman whose name you probably don't know? If the GOP is really concerned about sexism maybe they should be looking at their candidate who wrote the thesis supporting sexism or any number of the party's platform that supports sexism.

[superlfy42]

i'm sure the papers you wrote in school reflect your current world views too.

[jimbojim68]

When I was 34? That's how old he was when he went to Pat Robertson's school and wrote that. Yes, the 700 Club guy who said the "feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians."

[crashgrab]

We're not talking about a paper he wrote in high school. We're talking about a 93 page thesis he wrote in law school (after he'd already received several degrees). The paper was 93 pg paper is titled The Republican Party's Vision for the Family: The Compelling Issue of The Decade. This isn't just his personal views. This is his views for the Republican party and America.

[superlfy42]

"This isn't just his personal views. This is his views for the Republican party and America. "

thats a pretty absolute statement you've made there. got any evidence to support it? can you explain how he suddenly became the spokesman of America?

[crashgrab]

You are either willfully misreading my statement or don't understand what I wrote. I said this was HIS VIEW of what the Republican party and America should be. He wrote the paper and he titled it "The Republican Party's Vision for the Family". So which is it? Are you willfully misreading what I wrote or just stupid?

[zephyr40k]

I don't see what the big deal is. Sure, he acts like a jerk to her, but what he says is hardly explosive material.

[ZacharyOlpin]

Hahahah, oh NO! the 52 year old man called woman in her mid 30's YOUNG LADY! Holy shit, this is an outrage. (WTF?) Did I miss the memo on "young lady" becoming a slur?

[gfnva]

This is he'll treat the taxpayers. No respect; no regard. Just jam the liberal laws and taxes down our throats. He's starting to sound like Nancy Palosi

[ruadhrose]

What an ass. And he accuses Bob McDonnell of not respecting women. The first time a woman calls him on his desire to raise gas taxes to pay for transportation funds in Virginia, he gets rude. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. McDonnell for Governor 2009!!

[Scarlette0hara]

What a maroon!

[ZacharyOlpin]

Moron is one of those words you should spell correctly, or your opinion will be completely disregarded by the interwebz community. ;)

[zephyr40k]

He's referencing a classic Bugs Bunny cartoon, in which Bugs says "What a Maroon!"

[ZacharyOlpin]

Hahah, I know. I Urban Dictionary'd it before. I wasn't trying to be argumentative, I just thought It was a bad reference (as I don't think it's well-known, and people would disregard the opinion if they thought the user couldn't even spell moron correctly). But coming back on this on a new day, I'm beginning to think a little light-hearted comic relief is exactly what this post needed hahah.

[laxmatt1984]

Eagerly awaiting the Washington Post's 103 part expose of Deeds boorish behavior.

[gmu1993]

Yeah, that'll happen.
