Feminist icon and activist Gloria Steinem doesn’t much care for Texas Gov. Rick Perry.
“He personally will go down in history as an authoritarian — a dictatorial, unacceptable American,” the 78-year-old Steinem told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram on Friday.
She said the Republican governor and former presidential candidate has made a lasting mark by overseeing recent efforts to have Planned Parenthood funding cut off in the state.
Women are “suffering from the lack of healthcare” because of Perry’s actions and the federal dollars lost to Texas because of him, Steinem added.
She told the newspaper Texans should “dis-elect him, get rid of him, get rid of the guy.”
“Can’t you impeach him?” she asked.
It’s not the first time Steinem has criticized Perry — in 2011, she referred to him, Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann all as “people our founders came to this country to escape.”

Feb. 3, 2013 at 4:09pmI have a better idea. Why don’t the good people of Texas vote to expatriate Gloria Steinem….Actually, maybe she’s available for skeet shooting practice with bo.

Feb. 3, 2013 at 4:07pmSo, the mummy speaks! Who really cares what that leathery she fossil says! Folks like her have been living in their own altered reality most their lives ( much like all progressives) I pay as much attention to them as I do to all the inane ramblings of the mentally ill…..Ignore them..they will go way!

Feb. 3, 2013 at 3:51pmIrrelevant, no longer of any consequence, useless, and, worst of all, ignored. A sad ending for a woman who, at one time, had the country hanging on her every word. She cleverly rode the feminist wave to national prominence and had a profound effect on many young women. Her influence began to wane when those same young women married and had children. It is difficult to maintain a disdain and/or hatred for white males when one’s life partner is male and, in some cases, so are your children. With increasing knowledge and maturity those not so young women began to rethink Ms. Steinem’s views and opinions. It was the passing of time and a great deal of work by conservative women that ultimately defeated the ideas, beliefs and goals of Ms. Steinem and her friends. The passage of the Equal Rights Amendment was to be the capstone of their achievement and it went down in bitter defeat. It would have caused immediate and drastic changes to our entire society. In the end Americans decided against it and Ms. Steinem, along with her feminist cohorts, were defeated. The nation has moved on and no one is interested in anything Ms. Steinem has to say. As I said, irrelevant and of no consquence. She has to miss the spotlight and it has to hurt that no one cares about her any longer.

Feb. 3, 2013 at 3:49pmSteinem (from New York) said. Women are “suffering from the lack of healthcare.” “Planned Parenthood funding cut off because of Perry’s actions and the federal dollars lost to Texas because of him.” It must be an issue Austin. Austin is blue. Did a little bird tell her? She has no business of sticking her nose in Texas politics.
She from New York City get a rope?

Feb. 3, 2013 at 3:48pmIf Steinem’s upset about the governor, she must be absolutely hysterical about the tyrannical, dictatorial Obama being re-elected.
BTW – Steinem doesn’t speak for the women of America. She speaks only for herself.

Feb. 3, 2013 at 3:47pmThis pathetic lost and godless person is the epitome of what is destroying America. We can only pray for people who think like this and believe that anyone who is against PP is a dictatorial, unacceptable American. Since they think it is okay to murder unborn babies, have they ever wished their mothers had had one rather than giving them life? May the Lord bless Gov. Perry and everyone who wants to stop this murderous act that has killed the most innocent human beings with the continued strength needed to fight these ugly humans who want to pick and choose those they wish to not live.

Feb. 3, 2013 at 3:25pm“Women are suffering ‘from lack of healthcare’”….. Progressive code words for “Baby’s aren’t being aborted fast enough.” Gloria Steinem is the epitomy of the political elite that wants to do away with individual freedom and force collectivism, eugenics, and tyranny on the American people. I’ve had enough. Her kind can eat **** and move out of this country. Go somewhere, where they practice your idiotic ideas.
