The Republicans keep trying to slight-of-hand the war on women label to the Democrats, but it won't work. Not as long as they keep comparing women to insects, or cows, pigs, and chickens, and saying and doing random sexist things.
Jon Huntsman... had the potential to be the “smart” candidate on the Republican side until he called Herman Cain’s latest scandals “bimbo eruptions.” Gee, perhaps Mr. Huntsman would feel differently if his own daughters were called bimbos? Or maybe this is just Huntsman showing his true colors, because this is not his first sexist comment. In the past he’s claimed that the media only covers Michelle Bachmann because she’s pretty.

That thing is a nuisance. It shouldn’t be the law,”
-- Pete Hoekstra on the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act.
In 2008, Haley Barbour pardoned eight men, all of whom had been convicted of murdering either their wives, ex wives or ex girlfriends. These men included Michael Davie Graham, who stalked his ex wife for 3 years before shooting her to death with a 12-guage shotgun while she waited at a traffic light, Clarence Jones, whose ex girlfriend had filed multiple assault and trespassing charges against him. Jones waited for her in her apartment and stabbed her 22 times, and Jimmy Lee Avera, who shot and killed his estranged girlfriend while she was pregnant and in front of her two children.
WASHINGTON -- A Republican state legislator in Georgia doesn't like the term rape "victim." In fact, he has introduced a bill mandating that state criminal codes refer to these people as, simply, "accusers" -- until there's a conviction in the matter.
The legislation introduced by state Rep. Bobby Franklin (R-Marietta) would cover a number of crimes including rape, stalking and domestic violence.

“You could argue that money is more important for men.”
-- Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, on signing repeal of state law requiring equal pay for equal work for men and women.
Unfortunately, this is but a small sample.
