Take the “Democratic Party” off of Life Support: It is Brain Dead

Do people have any idea how exhausting it is to have to defend women from the constant torrent of sexism and misogyny? But no matter how exhausting, it is our principles as progressives which are under assault. We have to defend women, even in 2008. McEwan makes the point clearly:
I cannot walk away from misogyny for a moment, and so I cannot for a moment walk away from feminism, either. I cannot set it aside any more than I can set aside my womanhood. No — I will not. The choice is mine, and I choose to face the world equipped at all times with the only tool of self-defense I have against inequality. Feminism is my sword and my shield, which I carry because the world is hostile to me, not the other way around.
It’s painful to write about the sexism and misogyny that poisons the very air we breathe.
When Olbermann, Matthews, Shuster, Dowd, Sullivan and the many other excretory organs of the media wagged their nasty tongues about Hillary, we learned that the networks and publishing houses believed that attacks on women were fair game, indeed good business.
And that was BEFORE John McCain selected Sarah Palin to be his VP. Since then, the Bots, the Bloggers and the Fauxgressives have gone totally batshit crazy, making the most heinous accusations and despicable comments one can imagine. As TGW write:
Misogyny Watch: Liberal Bloggers Sink to New Low, Reveal Sarah Palin’s Teen-Age Daughter is Pregnant. Thanks to the ‘progressive’ kossack creeps and their followers, all of Bristol’s friends and acquaintances know that the girl is 5 months pregnant. I can’t even imagine how it feels to be 17 and have the intimate details of your private life — the news of your pregnancy! — splashed all over the internet, the newspapers and the cable news channels.
And these people call themselves Democrats. For example, so-called “Democrat” Taylor Marsh compares Palin to Clarence Thomas, Dan Quayle and Barbie, and then writes:
Elevating women the likes of Palin to being one step away from commander in chief, but not calling this affirmative action selection in go-go boots, diminishes all women of real competency.
Considering Marsh as the source, this is even more ironic than it sounds. Not only was Marsh herself involved in beauty pageants and the porn industry, she once decried the sexism against Hillary but quickly flipped when the winds changed. Fighting sexism was convenient when Hillary was a candidate; now she perpetuates ugly stereotypes against an incredibly successful sitting governor. Additionally, Marsh supports Barack Obama, a man who has zero executive experience, no important legislation with his name on it, no foreign policy experience, and no discernible ideology, other than himself. Indeed, about all Obama has ever done is writes books about Barack Obama. And she has the gall to attack a self-made woman like Sarah Palin? Further examples come from the blogger boyz; you know, the so-called progressives who have co-opted the party. TGW write:
The ‘progressive’ men are actually counting the months of the woman’s pregnancies! That’s right folks. The formerly progressive netroots is trying to bring Sarah Palin down by proving that she is a slut! The menz over at Americablog (and followers) fervently hope to prove that one of Sarah Palin’s children was conceived “out of wedlock!”
In addition to how the children at Daily Kos (mentally, if not physically) first claimed that Palin’s daughter gave birth to Trig, they now have s a poll so you can vote on how soon Palin will withdraw from the ticket, and this post:
Sarah Palin Candidacy Death Watch

Followed by this comment:
This should have been titled: “Sarah Palin Candidacy Death Rattle.” Much more effective than “Death Watch”….
Sarah Palin gets her own page at Huffington Post. She must be a terrible threat to these so-called progressives. After suggesting that Palin is the new Thomas Eagleton and will drop out before the election, Richard Gizbert writes:
But only the most gender-militant, Obama-hating Hilary Girl would have considered voting for this republican ticket anyway.
Yes we will. Dean, Pelosi, Brazile and other leaders have so corrupted the Democratic Party that it is no longer viable. Obama must be defeated so we can purge the party of the anti-American ideologues and the arrogant neo-liberals whose disdain toward the working class, their disrespect of women, their hubris on national security and their disregard of the economic needs of the middle-class, undermines our democratic values. The Democratic Party MUST lose this election in order to redeem itself. What was PumaPac and is now called “the New Democratic Party” has this on their website:
Goodbye Howard Dean. Goodbye Barack Obama. Goodbye Nancy Pelosi. Goodbye Donna Brazile. You have not only lost the White House for the Democratic Party. Today you have brought the Democratic Party to the brink of irrelevancy altogether. John McCain has played you all like a piano.
As a result of the corruption, new groups are popping up: (be sure to read Dr. Lynette Long’s on Caucus Fraud), and PUMAs remain committed to voting against Obama. (If you haven’t posted on Greta Wire, you still can.) The rule manipulation during the RBC, voter intimidation, shameless race-baiting, and dozens of other forms of coercion and thuggery have destroyed the trust, compassion and equality that formed the hallmarks of our party. That, along with the most outrageous sexism and misogyny, which Obama and his cult have capitalized on, instigated and exploited, have contributed to the jack-booted fascism that has appropriated the name “Democrat.”
Today we say GOODBYE to the OLD Democratic Party. The OLD Democratic Party has led us to DISASTER. John McCain and Sarah Palin will win in November by a landslide.
I plan to help them.
