CNN Contributor: Conservatives are ‘Anti-Science,’ ‘Anti-Woman

“[sigh] When will those mouth-breathing right-wingers give up their caves and clubs and learn to love science?” Pity the sophisticated liberal like CNN contributor Laura Sessions Stepp, whose impatience at Neanderthal misogynists and snake-handlers is palpable. It’s also an act that helps them continue to push the falsehood that conservatives are anti-science and anti-contraception – and…

One almost has to feel sorry for Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt.  He showed up on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360 yesterday probably expecting the type of softball questions that MSNBC hosts would toss at him.
