Starting with the one of the Left’s favorite boogemenpeople, Fox News
An A-list of women in politics backing John McCain went on the offensive Wednesday, accusing the media and the Obama campaign of blatant sexism in their treatment of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, a move intended to clear the brush ahead of her public debut at the Republican National Convention.
Five conservative women censured the media Wednesday at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, saying they were outraged and insulted by Palin’s treatment and comparing it to the way Hillary Clinton was treated during the Democratic primary.
“The Republican Party will not stand by while Sarah Palin is subjected to sexist attacks,†said top McCain adviser Carly Fiorina, defending Palin as qualified and declaring women would not “stand for it†when she is subjected to such attacks. “As women, I think all of us are sensitized and outraged when we see sexist treatment.â€
What it comes down to is the Democrats ultimate tenent: win at all costs. Attack women, minorities, children, doesn’t matter to them. Winning with honor is a phrase completely lost in Liberal World.
Tell you what, Liberals: if you want to go after Palin and her family, we in the Right-O-Sphere can do the same. What if I told you I had information that one of Obama’s kids was smoking crack? Is it OK if I spread that around? And Michelle Obama is upset at Hillary Clinton because things did not go so well during the threesome with Hillary and Bill? Still OK with that? How about that Obama is not actually those children’s father? Getting pissed off yet? And those are tame, but, hey, it is up to you to prove me wrong*
And from Michelle Malkin’s column, The Four Stages Of Conservative Female Abuse
There’s something about outspoken conservative women that drives the Left mad. It’s a peculiar pathology I’ve reported on for more than 15 years, both as a witness and a target. Thus, the onset of Palin Derangement Syndrome in the media, Democrat circles, and the cesspools of the blogosphere came as no surprise. They just can’t help themselves.
Liberals hold a special animus for constituencies they deem traitors. Minorities who identify as social and economic conservatives have left the plantation and sold out their people. Women who put an “R†by their name have abandoned their ovaries and betrayed their gender. As Republican officeholders and conservative public figures who are women have grown in number and visibility, the progression of Conservative Female Abuse has worsened. The astonishing vitriol and virulent hatred directed at GOP Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is the most severe manifestation to date.
I’m not making light of that, but, consider if Palin wore a cocktail dress, as Ann Coulter does, which she does on purpose, because it makes libs nuts to see a pretty Conservative women acting sexy.
It, again, comes down to winning. If Democrats saw polls that said they would have to become pro-life in order to win, groups like NOW and NARAL would not be thrown under the bus, but be fitted with concrete shoes and dumped in a deep ocean trench.
And the media should be ashamed of themselves for the way they have pushed the stories. But, they won’t be.
And Barry is learning, like Queen Nancy did, that he has almost zero control of the insane Dem base.
The Republicans are always having a problem, not really with MSM per se: the problem Republicans have is that they do not like the choices that Americans make in their news sources. If only their was some way to force Americans to choose Republican Approved media then they could be at ease.
Don’t forget Barry’s cocaine use, or is that one of the things we aren’t supposed to talk about?
John, it isn’t that Americans aren’t happy with their choices for news sources, it is that the MSM has to compete with so many other sources and it hacks them off. They (the MSM) are upset that they can’t control the information anymore, you can get your info off of um-teen number of alternative news sites on the world wide interweb. A story that in the past, such as John Edwards’ love child (allegedly), would never have seen the light of day. Now you can’t bury it because there are far too many outlets, and they can’t stand it.
It makes one wonder if the amount of information were available today were available 35 or 40 years ago Ted Kennedy would be spending time in a jail cell rather than being celebrated at the Democratic Convention.
