Party Girl Debate Questioner Katherine Fenton Loves Joose, Hates Cops and Women Who Watch Sports
Click the link below, scroll and read some of the lofty Tweets from the debate questioner in question. You won’t be sorry, at least, not that you read them. You may be sorry she was a part of this national election.
During last night’s debate, Katherine Fenton asked President Barack Obama, “In what new ways do you intend to rectify the inequalities in the workplace, specifically regarding females making only 72 percent of what their male counterparts earn?” She appeared to be unaware that Obama has a history of paying women less than men.
A Washington Free Beacon study of Fenton’s Twitter profile, @Misskf, reveals that she has launched her own war on women, specifically women who like sports. Fenton tweeted the following public service announcement to her followers:
According to Forbes, women make up more than a third of the 14 million-plus people who watch major sporting events including the NBA Finals, World Series, Daytona 500, and Stanley Cup Finals. Nearly half, 46 percent, of the 111 million people who watch the Super Bowl are women.
Fenton’s Twitter feed also reveals that purple Joose is her choice to get blackout drunk and she has a history of getting wet at happy hour.
Although there was/is merit to allowing candidates a more free form way of talking, that debate was poorly managed and irritating to watch. Beyond Crowley’s annoying tendency to be the third debater, many of the questions and questioners just didn’t seem realistic. I’m not claiming they were given questions or that they were plants, it just that it came across as so unnatural and forced. It would be hard to imagine they may have come up with an idea for a question but were heavily counseled and edited and hence many were so nervous.
Sorry, I need to edit – I meant to say it “…wouldn’t be hard to imagine they may have come up with an idea for a question but were heavily counseled…”.
It is truly unfortunate that the Free Beacon doesn’t allow comments on their “article” – also, convenient. What do her tweets and personal life have anything to do with her questions. Last time I checked, a debate was about answers, not the person behind the question. The only explanation for this attack on Ms. Fenton, is because her question brought negative attention to Romney. However, let’s think about this logically and honestly. The ANSWER brought negative attention to Romney. Undoubtedly, the most memorable and apparently quotable part of the debate was, “Binders full of women”. This has been blown up by the media and social networks and is to no fault by the questioner, but unfortunately, the blame of how the question was answered. Sadly, the first sentences uttered from Romney in response to Ms. Fenton’s question were unconfident and all over the place. Again, the fault of the one who answered not the person who asked the question, not her tweets, not her personal background. It is really pathetic and sad that a media outlet would resort to attack an innocent member of the debate audience in attempts to blame Romney’s answer or at least, take the focus off his response and discredit the person who asked the question. But the real tragedy here, is the conservative side attacking a young undecided voter and likely the minds of her friends and potentially her family. I know I wouldn’t want to support the side that wrongfully attacked me for their own personal gain. Way to lose the much needed votes for Romney. I wonder what kind of attention Ms. Fenton would be getting from this side had Romney responded perfectly to the question. I also wonder what kind of attention if any, this individual would receive if she wasn’t young and attractive?
-Embarrassed Republican
what a well reasoned and well written response! I wonder if “Dan” (???) will be inspired to question his own ethics.
One can hope.
kudos!
True just because Romney answered poorly this girl is chastised, shame on all of you.
And the Free Beacon makes it difficult to reply, however freely posts an anonymous letter, or is it anonymous?
you know, that’s a good response.
And I can tell you one thing, the more the republicans open their mouths, the more they continue to assault anyone who asks questions they don’t want to answer, or makes statements they don’t agree with — the more ‘decided’ I become.
In other news, formerly undecided and still dopey Jeremy Epstein has come out for Obama.
Yet he can’t even remember the answers the two men gave him to his question.
Is his 15 mins well and truly up yet?
This girl is/was ridiculous.
Why is she ridiculous??? Because she is young? or because she asked a really good question that stumped Rmoney? oops I mean Romney. Grow Up!
A young woman asks a very good question, so you label her as ridiculous. Please go home and stay there; the world is not safe with attitudes like that attached to actual human beings.
Yet another sad blog site.
I find it reprehensible that a young woman is attacked by ‘anonymous’ bloggers, just because she asked a legitemate question during a debate.
Are the Romney supporters so insecure in their belief that he is the right choice, that they have to attack and persecute anyone who even attempts to get an honest answer out of him?
When we as citizens of this country, which the entire government is based partly on the concept of free speech, are abused and denigrated for asking for legitemate answers to legitemate questions, then there is a major problem.
