"...Pistol Whip..."

I just saw this over at Raw Story and thought that I had to share it.

A conservative radio host says that the Catholic nuns who have embarked on a nine-state bus tour to protest the injustice of Rep. Paul Ryan’s (R-WI) proposed budget deserve to be beaten with a handgun because they “threw the first punch.”

“There’s a bus full of nuns headed towards Washington to lobby against the Ryan plan,” radio host Jan Mickelson told Rep. Tom Latham (R-IA) last week. “Do you guys, do you have any power to pull the nuns on the bus over and pistol whip them?”

“They say he is evil, they say he is fake Catholic,” he added. “They’re the ones that threw the first punch.”

Here is the audio of the discussion between Mickelson and Latham:

I continue to be amazed at the lack of respect that Republican and conservative men display toward women. Rush Limbaugh, Jan Mickelson, Tom Latham, and the rest of the Republican clowns need to show respect to women, whether they are mothers, nuns, or single women.  This has all gone too far. Shame on them.
