The Difference

Between how the Republicans deal with sexism in this election, and how the Democrats have dealt with sexism is mighty telling. The latter were mum, until after Hillary conceded the race then they made some noise about how things weren’t so great on the whole woman thing. The one exception was Geraldine Ferraro standing up for Hillary. She got labeled a racist for her trouble. I should add, not only did the DNC not speak up, they actually got in a few digs, too.

Not so the Republicans. I take NO credit for these next two pieces at all – they came from alert readers at No Quarter. The first one is from “Hope Floats,” who posted the following article:

GOP Women Call Palin Critics Sexist
Posted by BLAKE DVORAK

ST. PAUL — Top Republican women held a fiery press conference today to denounce what they consider to be sexist smears from the Obama campaign and the media against Gov. Sarah Palin.

“We want to call attention to the outrageous smear campaign against Sarah Palin,” said former Mass. Gov. Jane Swift. “With her years of executive experience and legislative accomplishments, she is more experienced than Sen. Barack Obama” to become president.

“Gov. Palin’s experience is in running a state,” added Swift. “Barack Obama’s experience, as he himself has said, is in running a campaign.”

Joining Swift in her denunciations were senior McCain aide Carly Fiorina, Rep. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, former U.S. Treasurer Rosario Marin and Renee Amore, Deputy Chairman of the Pennsylvania Republican Party.

“The Republican Party will not stand by while Gov. Palin is subjected to sexist attacks,” said Fiorina, who explained that all the women on stage had experienced sexism in their careers. “I don’t believe American women are going to stand for it either.”

Palin critics have questioned whether it’s wise for the Alaskan governor to seek the vice presidency while she has a baby with Down Syndrome. A charge to which Marin said: “No one has asked Barack Obama [this question] when he has two children at home.”

“I am outraged; I am insulted; I am offended,” said Marin. Directing her anger toward liberal bloggers who have questioned the maternity of Palin’s youngest daughter, Trig, Marin said, “Shame on them.”

Blackburn answered critics who have also pointed to Palin’s 20 months as governor as less experience than Obama’s years in the Senate.

“It is quite interesting that Gov. Palin has managed the state of Alaska with 24,000 employees and a $10 billion budget,” said Blackburn. “How many men have done that?”

Amore was more direct. Referring to the media, she said, “You never talk about that Barack Obama hasn’t run anything.”

“These smears are meant to distract from the fact that Gov. Palin has more experience than Barack Obama,” said Amore. She then issued a humorous, if also serious, challenge: “Let me use some ebonics … We will get with you, if you keep messing with us.”

There wasn’t a link to the post, but here is a VIDEO you can watch.

And then, frequent commenter Paul Villareal has several YouTube videos up, particularly this one in which Newt Gingrich (I know – I am as surprised by this as anybody) lays into a MSNBC reporter on the differences between Governor Palin and Barack Obama (again, she’s second on the ticket, Obama is first – and HE STILL COMES UP SHORT IN THE COMPARISON!!!). Anyway, take a look The end is a hoot:

And this one, also from Paul:

And get this – John McCain, in the middle of a campaign season, pulled out of an HOUR of free air time on Larry King Live because of the way Campbell Brown treated Tucker Bounds on the issue of whether Governor Palin had ever called in the National Guard or not (thanks, LindaA1!). He would not dignify the network after the way demeaning and belittling way one of their main anchors treated his running mate. Even more, check out this story by Stephen Hayes on McCain’s response to this sexist treatment:
Feisty McCain Tells Staff He’s Indignant Over Palin Treatment

John McCain spoke to staff and advisers working in the campaign War Room at the Minneapolis Hilton this afternoon, and forcefully vowed to fight hard to defend his running mate Sarah Palin against attacks from the media and Democrats. “They’re not doing right by our vice president, they’re not doing right by the American people,” McCain said, according to a source in the room. “We’re gonna fight back, we’re gonna get ‘em.” McCain pounded his fist into his hand as he spoke, the source said, and made clear that he would be aggressively challenging those who are attacking Palin.

McCain advisers expect that he will address the issue in his speech to the convention tomorrow evening. McCain’s campaign has increasingly turned its sights on the media in recent days as journalists continue to probe Palin’s personal life and discuss her performance as a mother. McCain is personally offended by the controversy.

Earlier Wednesday, campaign chief Steve Schmidt blasted the media for its treatment of Palin. “Governor Sarah Palin is an exceptional governor with a record of accomplishment that exceeds, by far, the governing accomplishments of Senator Obama,” Schmidt said it a statement. He added: “This vetting controversy is a faux media scandal designed to destroy the first female Republican nominee for Vice President of the United States who has never been a part of the old boys’ network that has come to dominate the news establishment in this country.”

And late Wednesday afternoon, Schmidt made a second statement threatening legal action against the National Enquirer for its report that Palin had an extramarital affair.

“The smearing of the Palin family must end. The allegations contained on the cover of the National Enquirer insinuating that Governor Palin had an extramarital affair are categorically false. It is a vicious lie. Governor Palin is the most popular governor in the country. She is a proven leader, an accomplished executive, a champion for ethics reform, and a fighter against corruption. The efforts of the media and tabloids to destroy this fine and accomplished public servant are a disgrace. The American people will reject it.

Senator McCain and Governor Palin look forward to discussing the issues that Americans care about, fixing broken government, creating jobs, making our country energy independent and securing the peace for the next generation by bringing the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to a victorious end. Legal action will be considered with regard to this disgraceful smear.”

Congressman Ed Royce, a conservative from California, says that the attacks on Palin will backfire. “Senator McCain’s choice of Sarah Palin not only energized and excited the Republican base, it sent the liberal media into making-panic-induced personal attacks on her family that are beyond the pale. The more they attack, the more they reinforce her image as an outsider and a reformer and the more attractive she is to independent voters who rightfully mistrust the mainstream media.”

Wow. Can you imagine how different this past year would have been had the DEMOCRATS taken this kind of approach to Senator Clinton? Standing up for her against the likes of Chris Matthews, Tucker Carlson, Mike Barnacle, KEITH OLBERMANN (special mention there for ya, Keith), Tim Russert, and all of those other “journalists”? Stood up and said this was unacceptable – that it was unacceptable to treat ANY woman like that, much less the Former First Lady of Arkansas, the Former First Lady of the United States, and a two-term siting US Senator? It would have been a whole new ballgame, I think. Hell, a whole new ballgame and ballpark (ok, ok, so I’m watching the Yankees already!).

I know some people are very cynical about WHY the Republicans are doing this, but the act remains: they are standing up against sexist attacks, and that counts for something. Not just John McCain, but influential Republicans are speaking out against this sexist treatment. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but it sure would be nice if the Democrats had acted more like the Republicans on this issue with Senator Clinton, and STOPPED acting in such a sexist manner toward Governor Palin. It is not too late, either – and frankly, it is way, way past enough being enough. Stop the hate against women, Democrats. Seriously.

    Here’s an article from a working mother of 12 pointing out how women can and do “do it all” much of the time.

  • jwrjr

    The democrats seem to deal with sexism by … using it and encouraging it. Do they still believe that women will vote for Obama because “they have nowhere else to go”? That is a typical “spouse-abuser” mindset.

  • ford

    Face it…the DNC , Steinem, and the NYT look like Jesse Jackson threatening to cut BO’s nuts off.

    The TIMES have changed people…women can be whatever they want,

    the American people know this.

    it is the DINOSAURS of past issues that still want to wrap themselves in righteousness…NARAL supported OBAMA, Not Hillary, REMEMBER?

    Reason . …they miss the power they used to have..get over yourself.

  • http://www.theindependentview.com Matthew Weaver

    The Democrats accepted as normal hate-filled speech and actions against Clinton. Surprise to them that they are out-of-step with Republicans who say no to this, just as they did to Obama’s use of race. Sad commentary to see that the Democratic Party stands alone as a group condoning and used sexist and racist hate as tools for political discourse.

    Dean really went to bat for HRC, didn’t he?
    And the entire senate.
    Gotta respect those guys for standing up for
    core democratic values.

    Dean says he doesn’t watch cable TV, so didn’t know
    about Matthews.

    Says a lot for Dean that he stays on top of the media.

  • tek

    “had the Democrats taken this strategy with Hillary Clinton.” There’s the tragedy right there, no? She had the will of the American people behind her and the Democrats tore her down because the old men in that party are so jealous of Bill Clinton. There can be no other plausible reason. I will not vote for that.

    I disagree with Republicans on a number of things, but I like Palin and McCain. I think they are truly the people who can transcend partisanship and do what’s right for the country. It has to start somewhere. Obama will only bring corrupt Chicago politics to Washington and sink us further in debt paying billions to the special constituencies who are supporting him, just like Dubya.

  • joe bob

    Yeah, that woman sure was sexist to that McCain staffer…At least you’re not pretending to be Democrats anymore…

  • joe bob

    PS. Weird how Obama has been in the spotlight, both good and bad, for 20 months (if you don’t count the fact that he has been in the public eye since he made that speech in 2004) and you say he’s not valid or vetted, yet this person has been in the public spotlight for less than a week and no one has the right to ask anything of her (even if some of it may cross a line)…it is comical how daft you people are

  • tek

    Exactly right. That’s my impression of the Democrats this year. They’ve beaten up on women and then they tell us, “get over it,” remember Roe v. Wade, What about Iraq, et al. I don’t care about any of that anymore, I’m not going to reinforce corrupt sexism and voter fraud. I’m voting Republican and I’m considering voting a straight Republican ticket because I didn’t see one Democratic man stand up for Hillary anywhere on the political spectrum.

    What I really think is that we’ll have a Democratic Congress, we need a Republican president to balance the government. And these Democratic scaremongers can just stop threatening that McCain is old and he might leave Sarah Palin in the WH. I’m starting to think it would be a wonderful thing if she was in the WH.

    The sexism that was also supremely evident in Harry Reid’s e-mail to Dana Bash, shortly after the Wednesday night RNC, was rife with those sexist code words that all women have come to hate.

    When Dana asked Harry Reid for a comment on Governor Palin’s speech, she received an e-mail that started with the word: SHRILL

    ‘Shrill and sarcastic’ was the way Harry Reid chose to begin his comments about Governor Palin’s speech.

    I wonder if Harry would have characterized a male’s speech as being ‘shrill’? Denigrating women has become the by-word for the Extreme Liberal Left that has taken over the Democratic Party.

  • HARP

    It isn`t just Obama that has a problem. The DNC needs to be purged from top to bottom. Destroying Barky and crew will send a strong message to BOTH parties that this WILL NOT be tolerated any longer.

    The bloggerers said,

    The latter were mum, until after Hillary conceded the race then they made some noise about how things weren’t so great on the whole woman thing. The one exception was Geraldine Ferraro standing up for Hillary.

    I disagree. I think as I recall that McCain several times during the primaries complained about the way Hillary was being treated by Obama. He just did not specifically ascribed it ‘sexism.’ Just that Hillary was right about the facts and that Obama’s defense was mean and demeaning. McCain said many times then that Hillary was his friend. Hillary returned the compliment in kind.

  • tek

    Not daft at all. You are hypocritical. Obama has been around for two years, but he hasn’t released his documents and the media has not investigated him. Your vitriol toward people who have a different opinion shows how small-minded or just inexperienced you are in politics. Why are you on this site anyway? Do you think calling people names will change their minds, or are you Obama people so petty and immature and shallow that you have nothing better to do than pick at people who aren’t like you? Go on now, go on over to Daily Kos where you belong.

    Obama sending out Democratic high profile women to try and down play Sarah Palin?

    HARRISBURG, Pa. – Barack Obama’s campaign plans to employ high-profile female supporters in an effort to blunt GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s potential to persuade women to vote Republican.

    Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano and Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius all were scheduled to campaign for Obama in the coming weeks. Republicans say they hope Palin, who made her national debut with a feisty speech on Wednesday, could put some female voters in play.

    they tried to bring it up remember? and then ppl like Dick Morris got involved and started the whole “what is she going to do when the big boys like Putin Ahmadinejad and others go after her”

    it was the republican who turned it into a joke….

    I love HRC…. and I wish she hadn’t have had the election stolen from her.. but siding with the ppl who started the sexism over the ones who ignored it and kept going makes no sense to me.

    what examples of sexism have there been? have they talked about how her voice screeches and their balls shrivel up? Or that her voice and laugh makes the angels cry? was she mocked and slaughtered for getting teary eyed somewhere?

    you are aligning yourself with the party that started the sexism and kept it going, just to prove a point that the other side should have stepped in to quell it?

    again, they tried…only to be mocked by the RNC for not being able to handle it.

    The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows the beginning of John McCain’s convention bounce and the race is essentially back where it was before Barack Obama’s bounce.

    Obama now attracts 46% of the vote while McCain earns 45%. When “leaners” are included, it’s Obama 48%, McCain 46%

    Virtually all of the interviews for today’s update were completed before McCain’s speech last night. Roughly two-thirds of the interviews were completed before Palin’s speech on Wednesday night.

  • Rob G in Chicago

    joe bob ;
    That wasn’t a public spotlight on Obama, that was a self-imposed and MSM re-inforced halo. The media has nationally “noticed” Barack Obama since at least 2004, but the notice has been in the form of adulation, worship, and “tingling”, not “vetting”. A few questions were asked about his choice of church and pastor, but only when the issue could no longer be glossed over.That you believe Obama to have been vetted demonstrates that you have more than a passing familiarity with “daft.”

  • Robert

    There is a reason that over 75% of Democrats in Alaska support Governor Palin. She is the only one in Alaska politics that went after the corruption. She is the only one that has gotten the ball rolling on the natural gas pipeline. She has appointed Republicans, Independents, and Democrats. When has Obama ever gone after the corruption in Chicago politics? When has he ever challenged the Democrats on anything. Most people would agree that both parties are flawed. Both parties have been responsible for bad legislation. He is rated as the most liberal Senator in the US Senate. He picked the third most liberal Senator to be his running mate. There is nothing for moderate Democrats to support on that ticket.

  • tek

    There’s no doubt the Democrats are peeing their pants over Sarah Palin. Taylor Marsh and Jeralyn Merritt are screeching against the woman, they’re so afraid Democratic women will vote for Palin. After listening to Palin speak, I’m covinced that she will be a great VP and would do fine as president. It’s entirely different than hearing Obama lecture us on how only “the youth” and the blacks are good people (his constituents) and the white women and baby boomers “need to be tutored by the youth.” Not really. We can join the Republicans.

    This is another reason I refuse to support Democrats this election. NO one in the party aside from Hillary supporters and Geraldine Ferraro stood up for Hillary. The MSM didn’t either. CNN and MSNBC are blocked on my TV so I won’t even be tempted to watch them.

    Women need to stand up against all women being attacked and I so appreciate guys like Paul here at NQ and Larry Johnson when they stand up for the women. I wish more good men would speak up also.

    Obama has become so BORING and DULL and all he is is rhetoric about NOTHING I find of value. NOTHING! The Democratic Party FAILED miserably and have no shame.

    I stand for Choice and I support Sarah Palin.

    Statement of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton
    Thursday, Sep 4, 2008

    The two party conventions showcased vastly different directions for our country. Senator Obama and Senator Biden offered the new ideas and positive change America needs and deserves after eight years of failed Republican leadership. Senator McCain and Governor Palin do not.

    After listening to all the speeches this week, I heard nothing that suggests the Republicans are ready to fix the economy for middle class families, provide quality affordable health care for all Americans, guarantee equal pay for equal work for women, restore our nation’s leadership in a complex world or tackle the myriad of challenges our country faces. So, to slightly amend my comments from Denver: NO WAY, NO HOW, NO McCAIN-PALIN.

    5 days and she’s already complaining, I’m sure Hillary must really have her back…

  • Sami

    The Rasmussen Reports also said this:

    “Both Obama and McCain are now viewed favorably by 57% of the nation’s voters (see trends). However, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is viewed favorably by 58%–a point more than either Presidential hopeful. Forty percent (40%) have a Very Favorable opinion of her.”

    Amy, thanks for the postings of my videos. I actually came in here to post something else, but I wanted to say “Thanks.” The Gingrich clip is just textbook of how you blow up biased fools like MSNBC. Great work, Newt.

    The second spot is from the McCain campaign.

    Anyways, I came here to relay that Palin has rattled Obama, personally. There were a number of reports yesterday that said that Obama ‘brushed off’ Palin’s criticisms, giving the impression that the lecturer was above it all.

    Not the case, says the SF Chronicle:

    http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/sfgate/detail?blogid=14&entry_id=29880

    Obama, spoiled baby, apparently can’t handle being taken to task by a ‘sweetie.’

    Poor baby.

    I hope someone here at NQ can post about that article. It tells the true story of just how sensitive and pathetic Obama is. If he’s not being fawned over, he gets all hussy.

    Waaahmbulance!

    Get used to it, Barry. It’s going to get a lot worse.

    BIG DILEMMA: OPRAH BALKS AT HOSTING SARAH PALIN; STAFF DIVIDED
    Fri Sep 05 2008 08:55:46 ET

    Oprah Winfrey may have introduced Democrat Barack Obama to the women of America — but the talkshow queen is not rushing to embrace the first woman on a Republican presidential ticket!

    Oprah’s staff is sharply divided on the merits of booking Sarah Palin, sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT.

    “Half of her staff really wants Sarah Palin on,” an insider explains. “Oprah’s website is getting tons of requests to put her on, but Oprah and a couple of her top people are adamantly against it because of Obama.”

    One executive close to Winfrey is warning any Palin ban could ignite a dramatic backlash!

    It is not clear if Oprah has softened her position after watching Palin’s historic convention speech.

    Last year, Winfrey blocked an appearance by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, timed to a promotional tour of his autobiography.

    Oprah and executive producer Sheri Salata, who has contributed thousands of dollars to Obama’s campaign, refused requests for comment.

    So true. At first I was thrilled with the pick of Sarah Palin (still am). But then I felt a little bit sad because I think the Democrats have ruined Hillary and now the first woman president will be Palin. She’s so young, I’m not sure Hillary will ever be able to come back and get the spotlight again.

    I’m sad everyday realizing that we lost the only chance for turning this country around totally and getting a strong economy back. I was so excited about Hillary’s green manufacturing strategies. Obama wouldn’t even know how to implement that and doesn’t care.

That is just some of the differences that seperates the democratic party from the republican party. Even though I don’t think much of the republican party I will vote republican until we can secure the security of America once again (hopefully).

    Very interesting. It also said this:

    Fifty-one percent (51%) of voters now believe that McCain made the right choice when he picked Palin to be his running mate while 32% disagree

    And these numbers do not reflect McCain’s speech and 2/3′s of the interviews were done before Palin spoke.

    And this is especially neat:

    Voters are evenly divided as to whether Palin or Obama has the better experience to be President.

    Any politician who does not denounce this sexism against Palin should be crossed off your ballot, simply don’t vote for them. The same crap being peddled by the Obama people and the Obama media — sexism and racism — during the primary continues to be peddled now.

    Obama started with the race card right off the bat when the campaign switched to taking on McCain and all of the pigs continue their game of calling every racist who does not support Obama. As soon as Palin is selected for VP, the sexism goes through the roof.

    Why do people continue to support Obama? That is the big question.

They need to be taught a lesson too. Then Pelosi, Dean, Brazille and Obama need to go away!

    Brown was rude and condescending towards a young, lower level McCain staffer. She was so arrogant and completely out of control. She ambushed him and gloated about it. You could see it in her facial expressions that she was on the hunt and had her prey in the cross hairs. She toyed with him shamelessly. This was not journalism. This was a witch hunt. This would never receive a Walter Cronkite integrity award.

    And the press just keeps on patting themselves on the back, saying she needs to be vetted. Yes, she does. (And, oh, by the way, while you are ay it…..how about investigating and vetting Obama.!!!!) But Palin’s family and her and her children’s reproductive tracts have no place in this or any election.

  • Doris T.

    I haven’t watched the MSM for at least a year. I didn’t realize how bad they had treated Senator Clinton until watching videos of the appalling treatment she received.

    What an eye opener to see grown men act like teenagers in a locker room talking trash about a female because their “EGOs” felt threatened.

    Yet, no one spoke up not even the owners of the TV stations.

    The Democratic Party, as far as I’m concerned, had crossed the line for allowing it to happen. But, also because in their goal to have Barry as their nominee, they became a party of the sexism and ill treatment of Senator Clinton.

    The Democrats have only themselves to blame. I want to bring a formal complaint and lawsuit against them. The Denver convention was a sham. It is a criminal act for anyone to try and force someone to vote against their will by holding them hostage. That they will be no longer viable to hold their seats in Congress or for those who were selected delegates to hold something else over their heads.

    This was not an election. Senator Clinton should not have even run but who would have known that the DNC had such ulterior motives. They needed someone viable to run against Barry, but in the process Senator Clinton worked her heart out and put herself in debt.

    The Democratic Party, as a whole, should be answering to charges for their complicity in criminal activities.

    Gloria Allred, who usually is a staunch supporter of women’s rights, should have already filed complaints and got action going regarding this sham convention. All that money….on television for everyone to see….and nothing is done!!!

    I am offended by what the media has done. First, because Senator Clinton is an execptional candidate and did not deserve any of this. Second, because they didn’t do anything to Barry except cover up his mistakes. Third, as a women, the TV media should have formal charges brought against them for trying to make all women look and feel like third rate human beings.

    When they spouted out their garbage, every time they opened their mouths…they spouted it towards all women because they know she represented women and what a women can accomplish. They even made fun of us older women….and it’s all on tape.

    It’s not over until it’s over. And, until the TV media or whomever, gets their acts together and their hearts and minds to treat their wives and daughters and granddaughters in the most respectful way. They are going to have the biggest fight on their hands, because this is not the 1960s.

    Women have evolved….what happened to a lot of the men. It was so demeaning to hear a man shout out to Senator Clinton to go iron or something to that effect. Of course, when individuals like that and the MSM open their evil mouths they show their lack of class, integrity, and deep concern for their wives, daughters, and granddaughters. And, I am being very sincere when I say that a person cannot treat any women as third rate and yet say they love their wives, daughters or granddaughters.

    They only love themselves and don’t know what loving another human being truly is about.

    The MSM in particular will be suffering for a long while. And, if I have my way, my class action lawsuit will be filed against the DNC by the end of the year. I have already written to Attorney Philip J. Berg regading the matter and he has replied that he will research and advise at a later time.

    Senator Hillary Clinton represented men and women voters…..what didn’t the men of the democratic party understand about that!?!?

    I have a question. Given the fact that misogyny is outrageous and has no place in the public arena; and given that HRC was a victim of this scourge; then where is HRC’s voice in condemning the MSM and the Obama blogs over their misogynistic five days of feral assaults on Sarah Palin, her daughter and her new born child? HRC’s self-serving whining when she was a candidate but not speaking out during the continuing assault on women makes HRC look like a typical self-serving politician. Not a 2012 oriented strategy. The public measures a politician when the fight is on, when courage really counts, when there are big time down-side risks for speaking out, not as an after-the-fact pundit.

    I don’t agree with Gov. Palin. However, I do think she is qualified as much for the VP slot as anyone. I would have been more than likely to vote for McCain if Olympia Snowe was chosen. McCain needed to go to his base..that is his decision. Is it political pandering..sure..but that is politics. Snowe would have attracted more Hillary supporters than Palin. But that would be no guarantee in this election cycle where the RNC is still tied to its rabid right winger base.

    The dem base however is moderate to progressive and the DNC failed to pander to them. In fact, went out of its way to insult them. So you loose.

    Yeah, she got no support from the DNC and it feels like the 18 million votes were TOTALLY disregarded at the bullshit of a roll call. I’m furious at that. Hillary should have insisted on at least that roll call.

    It’s not just this year, tek. It is all the time. Did the Dems stand up against attacks on Bill Clinton when he ran for President? No. They let it slide. Some even joined in the chorus. Did they push back when the Clintons were accused of murdring Foster? No. They remained mum. Did they suuport Clinton during Whitewater? No. Did they sypport Hilalry as First Lady when she was called a lesbo on TV and in the tabloids? No again.

    This is a pattern. The Democrats do not support nor stand ip for their candidates. They do not make it clear that they will not allow this as the Repubs did yesterday in Carlu Fiornia’s press conference and as Newr brillantly did on MSNBC. THEY FIGHT BACK.

    This is clearly a personality disorder the Dems have. Anglachel has a good post about this with links to other sites over at his blog this morning. A must read.

    That’s the most ludicrous claim I’ve ever heard. Weak, and patently pathetic.

    Palin didn’t “piss” on community organizers. She “pissed” on Obama’s lie that he was a “community organizer.”

    He was hired to do a job registering voters, which he did with ACORN, a corrupt organization which is under criminal investigations in 12 states.

    Obama’s a sham, buddy. He’s a corrupt, lying, sham. He hasn’t represented his constituents in Chicago, he hasn’t represented his constituents in Illinois, he won’t represent your interests as President, and he certainly won’t represent America’s interests around the world.

Palin will gladly chain your pregnant daughters to their beds to help them conceive, even if the child is to be “special.” The “media” was singled out by McGrandPa to take the heat off his selection and the worful shape of the Repug Party. I don’t feel Sarah, the self described pit bull, has been much maligned. In fact, I think her past judgements (like attending 5 colleges) need to be examined and given light. So, for my money, go MSM on Palin and the Chosen One. Tell us all!

    Sarah Palin did what many have wanted to do, but she did it on a national stage that caught all pundents off guard as they consider that no one will challenge Obama’s record or actions, well Sarah Palin did and did it extremely well, although tempered in many ways as well.

    Obama instead of being a man and standing up and defending the call outs made by Palin, deploys women of the party who have no choice but to fall inline.

    They cannot defend Palin’s direct attacks on Obama’s fake Presidential Seal, his lacking of legislation (except for those he stole from others), his do nothing community organizing experience (which even then he took credit for something he did not accomplish and stole the acolaides from the woman who actually did all the work, Ms Robinson), to name a but a few.

    In one 40 minute speech two nights ago, Sarah Palin exposed the tip of the iceburg of Obama’s lack luster career and experience.

    Astroturf liar David Axelrod was caught with his pants down after her speech, because the truth is a hard thing to battle against, espeically for someone who’s major prior accomplishement consists of 2 things, a useless Gov in Mass and an advertising campaign for a utility that was complete lies, but scared his neighbors into accepting substancially higher electrical rates based on his advertising lies.

    Hopefully next week when Hillary is forced to take center stage in defence of Obama, she will read what is expected and stop part way through and simply tell the audience “I am sorry I cannot promote these lies about Obama to you”!

    Country before party and Hillary, to lie about someone to run the country is a slap in the face to the entire country!

    this would be a perfect way for Hillary to stand up against what was done to her. This is about our country not a political party. I think George Bush is the worst President we have ever had. But I am not going to say I hate Republicans or never vote for one because of him. Likewise I am not going to tow the line for Democrats when they have obviously went insane by promoting an terrorist loving, racist, American hating church going of 20 years among other things. Obama is crooked and he’s lazy. I have no tolerance for lazy people. But…Hillary won’t do that. How quick do you think Obama’s numbers would plummet if she and Bill pulled their support??

    I’m sorry this happened to Hillary and it’s awful. But as far as I’m concerned, supporting who trashed her is unacceptable. Maybe she has a better reason than just supporting the Democratic party, I don’t know. But if she does I’d be willing to hear it. I would hate to think all that work was for nothing.

    I want to point out what a previous poster said about the polls. Only 1 out of the 3 days in Rasmussen reflect Palins speech, and it does not reflect any of McCains speech. Watch these polls around Tuesday of next week. McCain will in all likelihood have not only a lead, but a lead that is outside of the margin of error.

    The internals of the poll are even worse for Obama than the actual overall numbers. This guy is starting to look not even as presidential as the #2 on the Republican ticket.

    I am not trying to be funny when I say this, but Biden has got to be wishing he had his old comfy job back in the senate. He has got to be wondering how he got talked into jumping aboard the trainwreck that is known as the messiah express.

    He is probably praying that the rumors are true about him getting dumped for Hillary. Obama is radioactive at this point.

    Hillary and Bill played the role of good democrats and gave their speeches at the convention. If she was smart she and Bill would just got take a 2 month vacation somewhere on some little undisclosed island, and just kick back and relax, drink some margaritas and watch Obama implode.

    If Hillary does decide to get involved on Obamas behalf, then she is crazy. He will just drag her down with him, and tarnish her own reputation in the process.

    I gave her a pass after her convention speech. I figured she was just doing what she had to do, but if she goes out and starts stumping for the messiah, ecspecially if she attacks Palin in a way that is meant to try to turn women against her, then Hillary is on her own at that point.

    As much as most of us supported and loved Hillary in the past, even Hillary has got to be held accountable if she crosses that line …

    Us Magazine Hit Hard by Canceling Subscribers After Palin Attack
    By Warner Todd Huston (Bio | Archive)
    September 5, 2008 – 06:19 ET

    Courtney Hazlett over at MSNBC’s “The Scoop” is reporting that thousands of “Us Weekly” subscribers have not only called the magazine to cancel their subscriptions — some reports say up to 10,000 cancellations have occurred — but have also contacted advertisers and expressed their outrage that they are advertising with the celebrity news magazine that would so blatantly try to destroy Governor Palin.

    Hazlett is hearing that the editorial board of “Us Weekly” had thought they pegged it right that media pressure and attacks would see Palin pulled from the McCain ticket even before her debut speech. Because the media had so quickly swarmed to destroy her, they thought she was toast before she even had the chance to accept the nomination.

    Then last night on CNN , Glenn Beck is piecing together the Marxist plan that Obama has.

    Obama might pursue criminal charges against Bush administration· Biden says criminal violations will be pursued
    · Democrats have issued subpoenas to Bush aides
    · 3 staffers have been held in contempt of CongressElana Schor in Washington guardian.co.uk, Wednesday September 03 2008 19:32 BST Article historyDemocratic vice-presidential nominee Joe Biden said earlier this week that he and running mate Barack Obama could pursue criminal charges against the Bush administration if they are elected in November.

    Biden’s comments, first reported by ABC news, attracted little notice on a day dominated by the drama surrounding his Republican counterpart, Alaska governor Sarah Palin.

    But his statements represent the Democrats’ strongest vow so far this year to investigate alleged misdeeds committed during the Bush years.

    When asked during a campaign event in Deerfield Beach, Florida, whether he would “pursue the violations that have been made against our Constitution by the present administration”, Biden answered in the affirmative.

    “We will not be stopped from pursuing any criminal offence that’s occurred,” he continued, going on to praise congressional committees for the deliberate pace of their inquiries into alleged Bush administration misdeeds.

    Members of Congress are “doing the right thing, they’re not making false accusations about anything … they’re collecting data, subpoenaing records, they’re building a file”, Biden said.

    McCain not only has his (finally unified and energized) base, but many of us who can see through Obama’s BS are also voting for him.

    I’m a registered Independent voter who supported Hillary Clinton. I didn’t support her because she was white, a woman, a Democrat or a Clinton. I supported her because her accomplishments and record indicated that she was the most qualified of all the contenders on either side.

    I am supporting McCain/Palin because of the two choices for POTUS, there is only one with a track record, and it’s not Obama.

    Obama talks a good game, but to date has accomplished NOTHING. If I wanted a charismatic speaker to lead our country, there are many who are not as divisive as Obama, and who have far less baggage.

    In the end, Obama will lose this election. The racist slurs (how predictable) against the McCain/Palin ticket have already begun, but this time America is aware of this sleazy tactic. Obama’s problem is not that he is black, it is because he is green, as in inexperienced, untested, wet behind the ears, and just plain full of shit.

    After endless months of being force-fed the arugala of the Obama surrogates, McCain/Palin have cleared the table in one fell swoop and dished out some meat and potatoes.

    I am somewhat offended by the republicans and their attendant media at the double standard treatment given betweeen Hillary and Palin. Hillary was relentlessly bashed by Limbaugh and Fox for being a strong woman, complete with nutcrackers made in her image. It was this image of Hillary that caused the DNC to turn tail and run to Obama. The DNC joined right in Obama’s chorus that Hillary was negative every time she pointed out any of the 489 reasons she would be a better Prez than Obama.

    Now, we have repubs cheering to Palin’s self-description of being the equivalent of a pit bull and the convention playing “Barracuda” obviously referring to Palin. So where are the nutcrackers?

    I don’t want McCain or Palin for president. I want Hillary. Hillary would be better for the country than McCain, Palin or the two combined. I feel we need to forget this two party system and get Hillary on the ballot in November.

    McCain-Palin are not going to work for us the way Hillary would. Further, if the McCain-Palin ticket is a runaway hit, that will boost the republican control of the Senate and congress. So if Hillary runs in 2012 she will be facing the same hostile legislators that Bill faced in the 90s.

    By PHILIP ELLIOTT, Associated Press Writer
    Fri Sep 5, 5:29 AM ET

    HARRISBURG, Pa. – Barack Obama’s campaign plans to employ high-profile female supporters in an effort to blunt GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s potential to persuade women to vote Republican.

    Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano and Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius all were scheduled to campaign for Obama in the coming weeks. Republicans say they hope Palin, who made her national debut with a feisty speech on Wednesday, could put some female voters in play.

    “We respect her. She’s a skilled politician, as she proved last night,” Obama strategist David Axelrod told reporters aboard the campaign plane Thursday. “She’s deft at going on the attack.”

    But it’s not clear exactly how Obama and his running mate Joe Biden should respond. They keenly remember how women rallied around one-time Democratic front runner Clinton when they perceived she was a victim of sexism. They don’t want to appear with a weak response, either, and certainly they also don’t want to send independent women flocking to the GOP.

    The solution, at least in the short term, will be have top-tier female supporters vouch for Obama to largely female audiences and keep the candidate himself away.

    Sebelius started on Thursday, linking Palin to the unpopular President Bush.

    “She mastered the words written by the Bush speechwriters and delivered them well. But what we didn’t hear was what people talk to me about every day,” Sebelius told reporters.

    Clinton, a one-time presidential front runner, was set to arrive Monday in Florida. Obama aides had long planned to have Clinton as a surrogate even before Palin was named.

    Clinton’s camp says the message will be honed on her long-standing appeal to kitchen-table issues that helped her win 18 million votes, but not the nomination. There are no plans for Clinton to directly engage Palin, largely because the election is about the president, not vice president.

    Obama’s senior advisers say they cannot allow Palin to paint herself as the come-from-nowhere insurgent — a role that once belonged to Obama.

    “For someone who makes the point that she’s not from Washington, she looked very much like she’d fit in very well there when you see how she brings these attacks, they all felt very familiar to Americans who are used to this kind of thing from Washington,” Axelrod said.

    Obama himself dodged the question about how to treat Palin, only the second woman nominated as a major party’s vice presidential pick and the GOP’s first.

    “I think she’s got a compelling story, but I assume that she wants to be treated the same way that guys want to be treated, which means that their records are under scrutiny,” Obama told reporters in York. “I’ve been through this for 19 months. She has been through it — what — four days so far?”

    It was slightly more polite than Axelrod: “She tried to attack Senator Obama by saying he had no significant legislative achievements. Maybe that’s what she was told.”

    The McCain campaign, keenly aware of the potential of their nontraditional pick, immediately used any criticism of Palin as a sign of sexism.

    Notice it says that Hillary Clinton WILL NOT be going after Sarah Palin directly.

  • StrawberrybitesBarky

    You took it that way, then again you take everything said against Barky as a racist smear. God forbid you would ever consider HE’S JUST NOT QUALIFIED TO BE PRESIDENT!!!!!

  • bert

    Whether or not she becomes Majority Leader or not, Hillary will be THE power in the Senate IF Obama loses. With Ted Kennedy on the wane, she can rightfully inherit Kennedy’s stature as elder stateswoman for the Party. She may have lost this battle, but she has not lost the war. There is still much she can and will achieve, not the least of which is the Oval office in 2012.

    Bill and Hillary are still two of the most brilliant strategists in the Democratic party. I would argue the only long term strategists. I would wager they are already planning her next run and everything they are doing from now till then is to that end. Plus they have learned from this debacle and will be stronger next time around.

    I do not intend to condemn or desert Hillary now in her hour of need because she goes out and works for Obama. I can look beyond that to the next campaign.

  • candymarl

    It’s funny the way the media has tried to portray Palin as someone who, after winning a beauty pageant and being a PTA member, just wandered into the VP slot.

    Governor of the largest state with the most natural resources? Who cares?

  • Linda

    You know what? Backtrack Barry has given his own base of the party, before he changed it to the Demagogic Party, SO MANY REASONS NOT TO LIKE HIM-from his own actions and words, before we even get in to not having any experience and that he knew he knew he was probably going to run for President before even doing the work he just got elected to, serving the constiuents of Illinois. Or Flipping on core Democratic principles and his own previous stated positions.

    There is no repairing Barry. HE only has support now because folks thought they were supposed to pick a Dem after these last 8 years, but now are questioning WHY, when Barry doesn’t even stand up for fellow Dems or even his supporters.

    My hubby just brought me an article (and apparently the story) in a Technology Trade magazine of when Backtrack Barry’s own supporters petitioned on HIS website to FLIP BACK to his previsous stated position on FISA. And then Backtrack Barry had the chutzpah to flip them off and say, sorry no, maybe we’ll agree on 90 percent of my decisions.

    Doesn’t anybody find it curious….this 90 percent in voting party positions. Joe Lieberman was touted as voting with Democrats 90 percent of the time, now Backtrack Barry is giving argument that he will be voting just like Joe Lieberman.

    Funny how things make full circle.

    But, for some of us who actually pay attention and not just HOPING Barry will be different than what facts prove, he endorsed Joe Lieberman, his “mentor” instead of anti war Ned Lamont, let alone he didn’t have to endorse either, but chose to. AND he voted to keep that war going for the full 2 years he was in the Senate, until announcing his run for the Presidency.

  • No Obamislamists

    The Dems never had any intention of standing up for Hillary because Dean/Reid/Pelosi were already in the bag for Obama. The sexism/racism cards were playable because that strategy had the backing of the entire dem establishment.

    And what is Hillary doing? Hitching her wagon to Obama’s hate whitey/hate women express to put the party before her principals and the way she was treated. Hillary is trashing her own credibility to maintain “faithfull” to the Democrats, the party that raped her and is now raping Palin. It’s pathetic really.

  • Obama is a bum

    The Democrats committed the biggest blunder I have ever seen by backing Obama early on. Kennedy was the first big name to do it and others followed and tried to persuade Clinton to drop out. Had they endorsed Clinton instead she would have beaten Obama especially after Wright and the rest of Obama’s rubbish surfaced.

    The Democrats also have a mechanism to avoid the nomination of a flawed candidate with the superdelegate system. They refused to allow this system to play out. I believe they caved into Sharpton who threatened demonstrations if he did not get his way.

  • athena

    That is my take on Hillary at this point as well. Now is her chance to stand-up, don’t look back, take on these sexist comments and show yourslef to be a leader. I am dissappointed in her lack of cajones when standing up for a fellow American woman.

    Newbie senators don’t begin running for president during their FIRST YEAR in office, but are usually focused on keeping a low profile.
    And NO newbie senator continually trashes a former president of their own party! – unless they’re controlled by the Establishment that Obama claims he’ll “change.” ha!

    Jesus, no it’s not a problem at all, but if you think Barky will actually pull it off, than you truly are a bonehead. If Barky prosecutes Bush, then he can’t use all the fun power Bush has collected for himself over the years. He couldn’t be king too. And he’d actually have to obey the law, and uphold it and not use it to destroy his political enemies, you know, do whatever it takes to stay in power ’cause, that’s what the republicans did. Might makes right and all. Notice not a peep out of Barky about all those signing statements and if he’d fix those…I wonder why?

    Not to mention Rush is responsible for her getting a few more votes. Sure it was for his own selfish reasoning, but it gave her a better claim to the nomination.
    But I believe the problem most people who visit this site have is not democrat pundits attack Hillary (who would have been 3rd on my list and #1 for VP for McCain) but rather the DNC and the Obama campaign attacking her themselves and also outsourcing the attacks.

    Hillary has to say this stuff so she can remain a DEM in good standing. That way she can run again in 2012 against the wishes of Soros, I think Dean Whitter, Donna Brazile, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid will no longer be DEM leaders after screwing up a sure-win year for the DEMS.

    Yes, I am sure that will go over real big.

    She’s a great deal maker. She can use this as an opportunity to get concessions from Obama. Not for her personally, but for her policy positions.

  • Obama is a bum

  • s. hall

    Paul — the fact that Obama is running against the VP Nominee rather than the Presidential Nominee says it all. He hasn’t the stature to run against McCain so he runs against the woman nominee for VP.

    Rev. Amy asks where were the Republicans when Hillary was getting hit daily? As a Democrat I thought this isn’t against women its another attack on the Clintons.It didn’t seem like an attack against women until I read that the party calculated they would give Obama the nomination no matter how many Delegates Hillary had because if they didn’t there would be riots while if Hillary went down women would go home quietly as women do. Then I was furious. I called the DNC who could care less they had made up their minds–it was more historic to give the nomination to an AA rather than a woman and nothing could move them.

    The Democratic Party has been taken over by Obama and his thugs. He is so full of hate for women, so spoiled and flush with money that he thinks he can do whatever he likes with the party he now controls. But the Republicans –perhaps because of Hillary (who was going to pick up a lot of Republican women voters) said no way. Republicans unlike Democrats don’t have to yell UNITY and pretend they are unified. They circle the wagons and fight for their Nominee.

    One of the reasons I believe we Dems are so furious with our party is the hypocrisy they have displayed. The party of Civil Rights, Human Rights and Women’s right is a sham. Democrats talk the talk but Republicans walk the walk.

The DNC joined right in Obama’s chorus that Hillary was negative every time she pointed out any of the 489 reasons she would be a better Prez than Obama.”

    My question to you then is why didn’t the Democratic Party stand up for Hillary and push back on this blantant sexism as the Republicans did yesterday for Palin?

    Thast is the $64,000,000 question. The democrats are weak and don’t stand ip for their own. That is why they keep losing elections. They let the repubs brand them and the brand sticks. So sad.

    Why Obama’s “Community Organizer” Days Are a Joke
    By Michelle Malkin

    http://edgeoforever.wordpress.com/2008/09/04/so-obama-was-working-for-some-churches/
    So, Obama was working for some churches?(now with race card)
    September 4, 2008 · 6 Comments
    The four mocking mentions last night of Barack Obama’s service as a “community organizer” have ignited a metapshereic debate about whether the term has racial connotations.
    Is that what “community organizing” really was?
    Someone at TIME tries really hard to get offended of Palin’s remarks

    Obama was working for a group of churches that were concerned about their parishioners, many of whom had been laid off when the steel mills closed on the south side of Chicago. They hired Obama to help those stunned people recover and get the services they needed–job training, help with housing and so forth–from the local government. It was, dare I say it, the Lord’s work–the sort of mission Jesus preached
    Unfortunately, this version raises more questions than it answers.
    Obama was …hired? As in paid for his services? Doesn’t sound like ‘activism” to me.
    And, by some churches?
    Hmmm…i wonder why this detail never came to the public.
    Silly me, i thought he was some sort of activist – you know, giving his time for free for something he believed in. Now I read he was a hired hand. By some churches. Not his denomination. A job.
    Again, if it’s a paid job, what’s with the “community” euphemism?
    Obama added though that his work as a community organizer was relevant to who he is and the kind of people he’s “fighting for.
    Ummm, Barack dear, if you were hired, you weren’t fighting for anyone. It was a job, OK?

    L Wynne — I don’t want Hillary to make a speech about Sexism. The party destroys Hillary and then its up to Hillary to fix the party–NO WAY. I want to see a complete house cleaning of all those who took the party in this direction. Donna Brazile said Palin’s daughter was fair game. She also said the Democratic Base should stay home. She is the one who needs to apologize and then resign. Howard Dean the current chair and all those who decided to give the Party to Obama need to also resign.

    However, this will not happen until Obama loses. Success Has 1,000 Fathers — Failure Is An Orphan.

    Hillary is my first choice too. I am lucky that she’s my Senator.

    I am a Democrat. I will vote for all the down ticket dems, but not for Obama. Obama is not qualified to be CIC.

    Hillary will continue to be a super star in the Senate. And she will run for president again in 2012.

    It is funny the perceptions and generalizations the left has about conservatives.

    I am conservative, my wife is hispanic, I know how to dance, and my wife is smarter and stronger then me. The perception that conservative males have subservient wifes who are meek and mild is soooooo far from the truth. Conservative men value and respect a strong woman and usually consider them an INTEGRAL part of their success.To demonstrate this point when I am faced with difficult managerial situations at work I always ask myself one question……How would Yvette(my beautiful wife) handle this problem.

    This is why the party is so fired up, we conservative men LOVE this woman!

    BTW, I own guns and my wife is a better shot then me with handguns…..I do beat her out on the rifles.

    I would also like to give props to my 2 beautiful daughters as well, Danielle(20yo) and Alicia(16yo)………….

    I often tell people when I first meet them that I live every mans dream…dramatic pause…..I am surrounded by beautiful woman in my house every single day.

  • sproutingly

    My 10 year old daughter was offended by the way Hillary was attacked. I was not initially a Hillary supporter but she was. If a 10 year old girl can see it, I think we don’t have to worry about the next gen of girls. They are smart. All we need to do is support them and encourage them to keep their eyes open.

  • mimi

    Ain’t it the truth.

    A lot of people posting here can’t talk about the Botheads being stupid when their comments show a dearth of political savvy.

    To think Hillary is supposed to make like Norma Rae and defy the Party is about as hopelessly naive as you can get. As if that’s going to do any good except end her career. This ain’t a Hollywood movie.

    And people here are feeding the trolls by posting negative things about Hillary and giving the appearance that we are not in unison in our determination not to support 0bama.

    Trust me, you’ll only convert the ‘undecided’ voters to go over to his side by posting things like Hillary drank the Kool-Aid. At least have the good sense to keep such thoughts to yourself.

    I don’t need to waste my time bashing Hillary when there’s so much work to be done about 0bama.

    You have to wonder about people who lose all sense of reason and not accept that each person has only one vote and like it or not there is a distinct possibility that the big zer0 could be elected. And just like it won’t be her fault if he loses, Hillary doesn’t have the power to make him POTUS. I personally think all 0bama’s proving by having Hillary campaign is remind people that she should be the nominee. So I say let it rip, Hillary. Remind people how stupid the Dems were.

    BTW McCain/Palin does have to do something to get elected like appeal to the voters. And he has to mobilize his base. He’s getting a gift from all of us who are voting for him. All it takes is 5%. I think he can get that with no sweat.

    Trust that people are ignoring Hillary and quit bashing her. I would think as much as you hate 0bama, you wouldn’t want to give them a weapon like trying to divide and conquer the PUMAs.

  • mimi

    Skiron,

    It was the WAY Campbell Brown did it. When was the last time she was that tough on an 0bama representative?

    That’s what the complaint is.

    CNN and the rest of the adoring msm is not covering 0bama tough. He and his reps have never had to answer any tough questions or be pinned down. And when abc did so at that debate, they were hounded by Botheads asking for their jobs and threatening to boycott.

    If they would just be tough equally, you’d get no squawk from me.

    Also, Campbell Brown’s voice annoys the hell out of me. Like chalk on a blackboard.

  • Obama is a bum

    ummm, you are so infatuated with Obama that you pick up his bad habits.

    I am an Independent that will become a Republican if Obama wins.

  • K. Wynne

    s. hall,

    I’m sorry I wasn’t clear…I was only trying to point out just how biased the DNC and the media was regarding racism, as opposed to sexism.

    Of course, Hillary will never be allowed to give such a speech, and I’m well aware of what would happen to her if she did.

    However, the point should be made of how willing and how well accepted by the press and the public was when obama lectured us about racism.

    Ironically, obama has benefited greatly from being part AA and really had no right to give such a speech in the first place.

    On the other hand, Hillary has never been given anything, because, as a woman, she had to work for it and then prove herself every day to be worthy of anything she achieved.

    If we don’t find an effective way to confront sexism, it will never end. Racism has come this far because men are allowed to express their outrage, such as Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton.

    Women, on the other hand, are still expected to be nice in the face of horrible treatment and do what Hillary is expected to do by helping the very man who was responsible in large part for the attacks heaped upon her.

    We’d be talking to each other and we would be like.. wow did you see what those asses said about her?

    Because we know all too well..

    On an emotional level we were rooting for Hillary to unleash mockery and sarcasm against Barry.

    We loved the “I’m ready. mccain has x years experience. and barack has a speech he gave in 2003″

    Then we’d look at each other and say “I cant’ believe i’m saying this but i rather she was the president” Compared to Obama. We didn’t have much hope that McCain was going to win.

  • mimi

    I’m anti 0bama and will not be voting for him but:

    little boy?

    First of all he was raised in Hawaii so if you wanted to reference the term boy, you’d use Hawaii.

    He went to Chicago as an adult male and made a home there. He was never a boy in Chicago.

    sry for long post but it seems Oprah is feeling some backlash for her double standard.
    Post from PUMA

    ***
    #69 scarlet on 09.05.08 at 12:12 pm
    #21 sistermoon3
    Oprah’s message board does not allow anti-Obama posters so she surely would not allow Sarah on her show because she may say something that is anti-Obama – ya think?
    Because there were so many anti-Obama posters on her site, they did a redo of her message board which did not allow for political discussion.
    Here is what one poster said:
    How strange for Oprah to endorse a candidate for the Presidency, and then to shut-down
    and censor any discussion of politics on a board once known for its political discussions.
    Another wrote this open letter to Oprah on her message board.
    Oprah,
    More than 4,000 threads and posts of mine have apparently been deleted from this site
    during the recent “cleansing” that took place.
    I have been a part of this message board for the better part of a year and I have never been
    banned – not once – because I have always remained within the posting guidelines of this
    website. So, why the removal of all of the threads and posts I have ever written?
    I am so concerned that our media is becoming one not unlike that of communist and
    dictator-controlled countries in the world whereby the media is controlled by political
    figures and the government and I fear those who are in leadership in the media industry
    are not only allowing it, but abiding by it. I am surprised that what has taken place here
    has taken place.
    Has this become another Barack Obama ONLY website where people cannot give their
    true opinions about a political candidate that has been publicly endorsed by the website’s
    owner? The Daily Kos is known for its selective banning of posters who question
    anything at all about Barack Obama. It is very unfair, in my opinion, and it is the
    squelching of the voices of many. Is that what is happening here? I have always thought
    Oprah GAVE a voice to the voiceless.
    I just heard Barack Obama speaking today about the current “New Yorker” cover
    featuring he and his wife in satirical theme. He said he believed in the First Amendment
    rights of those who create and publish such material. But, I question whether or not this is
    just Mr. Obama’s public statement while his private statement is his encouragement of his
    friends in media to control the written expression and opinion of people wishing to post
    and requiring that they make ONLY positive statements about Mr. Obama without
    questioning anything he says or does.
    Is this the same Oprah Winfrey who has always seemingly supported freedom of speech
    and expression? Is this the same Oprah Winfrey who has had many people from all
    different walks of life on her show to discuss their honest feelings about race and other
    social issues – to open a dialogue and to educate? Is this the Oprah who earned the respect
    of so many of her fans and viewers because of her fairness and her willingness to listen to
    all sides of an issue – even if she disagreed?
    I am disillusioned, surprised, and offended.
    Another poster said:
    Even though the vast majority of people who posted in the political area were FOR
    keeping the board, Oprah Winfrey apparently couldn’t stand the heat, just the way her
    candidate can’t stand criticism.
    So, the board was censored out in favor of salad recipes and such compelling notions as
    dog diapers.
    More of Oprah’s disenfranchised posters:

  • s. hall

    disgusted — I don’t care how many Democratic women Obama lines up behind him he started this firestorm and he will not be able to douse the flames which will engulf the entire Democratic party before they dissipate. Obama will make one of his sermon on the mount speeches about women’s rights cause he just doesn’t get it. He believes women are second class citizens not fit to compete with him. He blames all women for his own Ditzy mom.

  • s. hall

    tek — I totally agree. It was a bittersweet moment in time watching Palin because like you I know that she is the future and that Hillary’s moment in the sun is gone forever.

    Damn Obama, the DNC and the media for destroying the person who could have made us whole again.

  • mimi

    Both Democrats and Republicans should beware!

    There is no such thing as not having a place to go.

    If we do nothing else this election, we need to teach them both a lesson about being an American citizen with one vote.

    They should know better than anyone else, this is a democracy, the primary feature of which is choice.

    I was voting McCain before Palin. She only made it more palatable.

    No one gets between me and my one vote! No one tells me to “Get over it.” “Stay home.” They don’t get to kick me to the curb. I do the kicking. So Democratic Party, consider yourselves kicked to the curb this 2008 Election.

    And Palin figured very little in this for me.

  • tzada

    Presidential candidate John McCain’s acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention drew more television viewers than his rival Barack Obama attracted at the Democratic party’s event last week, according to preliminary ratings from Nielsen Media Research.

    Across all broadcast networks Thursday, Sen. McCain’s speech ended the night with a 4.8 rating/7 share, compared to Sen. Obama’s 4.3/7 average, according to overnight numbers from metered households in 55 U.S. markets measured by Nielsen. These ratings are preliminary, however, and are subject to change.

  • nobonomo

    When you cut through all the crap, the basic reason that Obama and the DNC are tanking is that they never had the majority of the party behind them in the first place. Obama’s numbers, because they were fraudulently manipulated, were not reflective of the actual support of BO v. HC.

    No amount of stagecraft will change that basic fact. Obama’s team figured that they could easily hitch Hillary supporters onto their wagon by threatening an overturn of Roe v Wade. They were so confident, in fact, that putting Hillary on the ticket, someone who got more popular votes, was not even considered.

    Obama’s ego and arrogance trumped what was best for this country. Contrast that with John McCain, like him or not, who put country first.

    I have no idea how this whole thing is going to play out in the end because I don’t know what attacks are coming that threaten to derail either BO or Mac. But, if things remain status quo, Mac will be our next president.

    mimi — this is what happens when you take the voters for granted. 19.5 Million women watched Palin more than double who watched Obama. Obama is no longer the flavor of the month, Palin is and she will take women’s votes from the Democrats–and its killing BO. Maybe this over grown long drink of water should stop throwing away women voters — we make up more of the vote than men.

    It wasn’t just sexism, remember – it was an attack on the person and a distortion of positions. She had no judgement. She was Bush-Cheney light and the Senator from Punjab. She was pro-NAFTA, he would negotiate it. (He flipped on that one.) Her health care plan would garnish people’s wages. (Both health plans required some payment for some people.) Yet, he was trying “to run a different kind of campaign”, and the Democrats bought it. The whole “uniter not a divider” message again.

    I hate to say it but the low life democrats are now wanting to “pimp” Hillary to try to get her to save Obama’s sorry butt. After she gets kicked in the teeth by the party- no support against media and/or Obama supporter sexism- they are now trying to use her to fight againt another woman. Democrats are just plain losers this year- plain and simple. No class whatsoever. Nothing to make us proud as Democrats. I feel sorry for Hillary as she was the one with the real class in this group of slime makers but it went unnoticed.

    There was more going on with in our party than we know about. I can guarantee you this, promoting Obama was all about selfish self-interests for many of the Dem leadership.

    The “Party of the People” is no more.

    With both Mac and Palin having actual reform to point to in their resumes and their reform message, I think Obama can’t win once people realize how he was propped up by corrupt self-serving politicians. Look at how they handled the roll call vote! Shame on the DNC.

    That’s what I’d like to know and it pisses me off to no end that no journalist has called 0bama on it.

    I think it’s a fair question. And yet not one journalist has even hinted at asking the question even in passing.

    This is how they are keeping the Clintons hostage. The press refuses to get to the core of the racist charge leveled by 0bama and his supporters because they don’t want the truth to come out.

    So the Clintons are still wearing the label of racist and the only way to prove that they’re not is to campaign for 0bama.

    It’s a horrible predicament for them to be in and too bad some here think that Hillary should slammed and trashed because of it.

  • Duras

    Wow. Another great idea, Joe. Let’s not try to reach compromises and make meaningful progress on energy independence, health care, job retraining, the war on terror, etc. Instead, let’s use up all of our time in a political vendetta against the past administration, splitting the country right down the middle.

    Arabella, I agree. She will “campaign” for Obama the same way she gave her “endorsement” speech at the convention. She went through the motions, gave a tepid endorsement, fulfilled her duties as a good democrat, and satisfied the pricks in Obama’s campaign and the media who wanted an endorsement, yet gave a rousing and beautiful speech about what her priorities are. She may be exiting stage left, but the final act of the play has yet to be written. Stay tuned. To be continued…………..

  • BernieO

    I found the link to the Chris Matthews/Pat Buchanan dustup over sexism. While Chris was correct that the right wing went after Hillary for years with sexist comments and are now being hypocritical by complaining about sexism, that is no surprise. Unlike the Democratic Party Republicans always fight for their candidates. And Buchanan defended Hillary against the media’s sexist treatment of her in New Hampshire last January. (See Anglachel’s post about why Dems lose.) Buchanan was great when he said that the M in MSNBC should not stand for MISOGYNY!! I had already started calling NBC the Neanderthal Broadcasting Company. So now I can put Misogynist first. Any suggestiong for the “S”? Slimy? Smarmy? Sleazy? Supercilious? Here’s the clip:

    That was really uncalled for.

    I see a woman with a loving heart, who is human and shares that aspect of herself as well.

    She had done more good around the world that you will ever do, gerry.

    I respect Cindy McCain and I think she came across as a genuine person who loves her husband, her country, and is thrilled to have a woman on the ticket.

    Few people are skilled, compelling speakers and I thought she was fine. Not being perfect made her more human.

    “With her years of executive experience and legislative accomplishments, she is more experienced than Sen. Barack Obama” to become president.”

    Huh? Sarah Palin has years of legistlative accomplishments? Maybe Jane Swift should get out her dictionary and look that word up. You’d think a former governor would know what it means. Sarah Palin has never held a legislative position of any sort.

    “Years of executive experience” essentially boils down to 20 months as governor. Mayor of a town of 7,000 doesn’t exactly provide you with the background experience required to head the government of the United States. Being in charge of a small-town police department doesn’t qualify you to be Commander in Chief of the nation’s combined armed forces. Cutting the town’s property taxes isn’t evidence that you can successfully manage the largest and most complex national economy on the planet. Her most successful act as mayor, by the way, was to hire an Anchorage-based lobbying firm to lobby for earmarks for Wasilla. They brought in $27 million in earmarked funds for the town, some of which were directly criticized by reformer John McCain.

    What has she done in her 22 months as governor? She tells us she refused funds for the “bridge to nowhere”–but fails to mention that she had pushed to get those same funds during 2006. She also fails to mention that Alaska kept the money. It was decided to use it for other state programs. As far as I’m concerned, she has deliberately misrepresented herself to the American people beginning with the first moment she spoke to them as a vice presidential candidate.

    There’s that $500 million pipeline deal with TransCanada. That, I suppose, may be of major benefit. It will certainly be of major benefit to Alaska. She’s been pushing hard for ANWR drilling. Republicans tend to like that one.

    Her ability to handle a budgetary difficulties aren’t at all clear. She became governor of a state destined to have a budgetary surplus because of all the money Alaska has made from enormously increased oil and gas prices. This is not a typical fiscal situation.

    I don’t much admire her support for methodically gunning down Alaskan wolves from helicopters. That’s a personal matter. It doesn’t strike me as proper human behavior.

    I’m withholding judgement on her having used her political position to try to get her former brother-in-law fired, and the related firing of Public Safety Commissioner Walter Monegan, who refused to comply with her wishes. Suffice it to say that she’s under official investigation to determine if that was abuse of power and an ethics violation. Republicans under ongoing ethics investigations run for public office with some regularity.

    Republicans can howl “sexism” as loud as they wish. I’ll listen when something is presented that actually seems to me as sexist. Otherwise, they’re just making noise.

    Ms. Palin’s gender isn’t a shield against legitimite criticism.

    Hi.. I like to offer my opinion this.

    I don’t think Chris Matthews was right at all.

    For one, he never let Pat get a word in edgewise (on purpose), Chris didn’t want to hear the argument.

    For two, the issue between Republicans and Hillary is not equivalent here. The issue here is sexism by the Press.

    I think it’s totally unacceptable for a media organization to take it upon itself to “revenge” on behalf of another party.

    For three, what’s going on here is massive election fraud with some conspiracy between the media and Obama.

    And finally i like to finish with… I’m so tired of people who when challenged by an argument respond with “Well. So and so did it too”.. That’s a nice way to avoid the question.

    Chris looked almost deranged to me.

All we got from them was “Get Over It”, “We don’t need the female vote anymore”, “We now have the Creative Class and AAs…we don’t need you”, “They will come back to the party after the Primary when we play the Roe v.

    The media is so overwhelmingly cosseted and so dominated by the Obama campaign, that if anything comes out that would be considered vetting, it is quickly drowned out.

    You have the right to support your candidate and to speak your mind, but do not push your drugs on me. Do not, “you people” me and call me names because I have a different opinion than you.

    I do not go out to Obama supporting sites in order to insult or accuse his supporters of being the sheep that I think they are. But if you come here and call us names, we will toy with you for a time, but only because we feel sorry for you.

    You understimate Hillary if you think she will not be back in the spotlight or is destroyed by Palin’s candidacy. She is not. She has far more resilency than that.She has many paths open to her and she will take them.

    Hillary will be back and imagine how sweet it will be in 2012. She will either run against McCain who she can beat; or Palin who she can also beat.

    I may be voting for McCain-Palin this year. But that does not mean I would vote for Palin in any other circumstance but this year. My vote is really a vote against Obama far more than a vote for either McCain or Palin.

    And if it is Palin and Hillary next time what sweet irony. How will the media sexist pigs behave then? Who wull they bash most? A Hilalry-Palin match up would be poetic justice for the sexist pigs in the media or elsewhere. ‘Tis a match up to be desired by women everywhere.

    Hillary is the obvious person to go after Palin. She can nail her on her actual political positions without accusations of sexism or racism. Compared to Clinton, Palin is a lightweight.

    Hillary would likely do this because of her allegiance to democratic policy and principles, and her clear understanding of exactly what the McCain/Palin ticket represents. I expect Clinton to stand up for what she believes in, in any way she can, just like she has always done.

  • Irish1139

    It’s a valid point. Many women respected Hillary’s personal decision to stay with Bill after their marital problems became a front page issue. It’s impossible to count how many Obama supporters ridiculed that decision as a cynical bargain for political support from a former President.

    We really don’t know what will happen over the next four years. But I don’t see Palin as a token woman to tide us over until Hillary is freed of the shackles the Dems have cuffed to her. That is not my view of strong women or feminism. Each candidate is strong in their own right, and I have a lot of respect for both Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton.

  • Deborah C

    JC: When Hillary speaks out against Palin, it will be on policy issues. She will be laying out the differences in policy and how it will affect our country. That is always how she has campaigned. Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton have many differences as to equal rights and women’s rights. Before you all go jumping on the bandwagon and promoting Palin, please remember Hillary will be running against her in 2012.

    To suggest that Hillary not criticize the position that Palin holds regarding a woman’s right to choose, just because Palin is another woman is ridiculous. Hillary would never lay down on the issues she feels are right and women’s rights are near and dear to her.

  • JC

    Yes Dr Zarkov, Hillary can do whatever she chooses. I am just stating a fact, I will lose respect for her if Obama uses her to fight his battles. After what Obama and MSM did to her, I just don’t think ts right. I think Hilary is best left alone to do what she intended to do and that is to support good down ticket Dems rather than Obama. Just my opinion.

  • Hope Floats

    It is not the job of a McCain campaign staffer to elaborate on the job details of the CINC of the National Guard. He explained, however, that she oversees the troop safety of those who are serving in the Middle East. She decides if they’re needed in Alaska, in case of emergency, or if they should be deployed overseas. She checks on them to make sure they are where they need to be. Campbell Brown tried to deliberately misrepresent the facts, implying that the McCaign campaign was trying to take credit for General Petraeus and Centcom field decisions. It was meant to discredit the entire McCain campaign. To make matters worse, she repeatedly spoke for him, over him and interrupted him. It was incredibly unprofessional on her part.

  • ming the merciless

    Nevertheless, I assert that Obama has years of legistlative experiences in both the Illinois and the United States Senates, along with a background in Constitutional law that very few elected officials begin to match. He’s demonstrated himself to be gifted orator capable of inspiring and motivating, and a person able to work across divides toward common goals. A lot of people find that to be a very compelling package.

    McCain is an admirable American, but he represents a continuation of failed republican policies. He can’t separate himself from them to my satisfaction unless the policies themselves actually change. Otherwise he’s just new packaging for the same old content.

    Palin is the least qualified candidate on either ticket. Were she not a woman–which was a tactical plus for entirely obvious reasons–no one would have even considered so inexperienced a candidate. There’s no way I would vote for Sarah Palin if she were running for president. Given McCain’s age and health, that might very well be what I’d be doing if I voted for him.

  • JC

    Deborah, You assume alot:

    “To suggest that Hillary not criticize the position that Palin holds regarding a woman’s right to choose, just because Palin is another woman is ridiculous. Hillary would never lay down on the issues she feels are right and women’s rights are near and dear to her.”

    A few points:

    1) The majority of us are here because we are Hillary Clinton Supporters

    2) Hillary Clinton is no longer a candidate

    2) Barak Obama is a candidate and I thought we are working towards making sure he is not elected (for more reasons than I care to go into)

    3) Barak Obama is on the defensive. The best way to defeat your enemy is to turn them against themselves

    4) The Obama Campaign is attempting to turn Hillary Supporters against each other as too many are going to vote for John Mcain

    5) The Obama Campaign is trying to use Hillary Clinton to attain their goals

    6) Again – Hillary is no longer a candidate. Do not feel guilty about voting for McCain.

    The most interesting thing about the first video is that the reporter makes the assertion that ‘to be fair, her resume is not something we’re used to seeing in vice-presidential candidates.’ After Newt’s response, the reporter then says he’s not going to debate the point.

    If the reporter had no interest in discussing an assertion he made, then it’s hit-and-run, gotcha journalism. Of the same nature as ‘when did you stop beating your wife.’ Because it allows the questioner to declare something true which he doesn’t have to defend.

    If the reporter had been doing his job properly, he would have asked Gingrich “Do you feel that Palin has the resume to be vice-president?” Instead, he tries to belittle the person he’s talking to by acting like he’s got superior knowledge (to be fair). Where do these ‘reporters’ go to school to learn how to engage in these aggressive slime tactics?

    I’ve seen reporters, journalists, and interviewers on both the left and the right use these tactics.

  • Hope Floats

    Most Democrats would have been very tempted to vote for McCain, if he chose Olympia Snowe as his running mate. I’ve always loved her. But the GOP party apparatus is a long-standing grassroots tradition. Their party was fractured by George W. Bush winning in 2000. This was a chance for them to unify, rally and reform, much like the Democrats hopefully will in 2012 or 2016. Everyone who fought to make this happen this year for the Democrats deserves praise for their insight and courage. There was such a strong opportunity for a Dem in the White House this year and the first Madame President. Barack Obama and his accomplices destroyed that dream. As for McCain, he needs his base to win. Sarah Palin was a win-win selection for him.

    It was nice to hear more about her, her work and their family, too. The American public votes for the family as much as the President. It really is determined by character when we vote for President.

    Take the story of Obama and his exceptional background. Many people say it is remarkable that he could go from Hawaii and Indonesia, raised by a single mother… that sounds like an interesting person to me. But I am voting based on how well he can do the job, not his autobiography.

    It is rather ironic that McCain, having been smeared by his own party as having an illegitimate black baby, actually adopted a Bangladeshi girl Cindy resued from an orphanege. That girl Bridget McCain could be in the White House, and I find that a remarkable twist of fate that could only happen in America. I really feel there is balance and goodness in this world.

    What you call debt, accountants call assets. Those were public improvement works that will turn a profit eventually. Every single dollar of that money can be explained on a balance sheet.

    Why complain about earmarks and then complain about debt? McCain is the one at the top of the ticket opposing earmarks, and she is speaking as his running mate, putting forth his agendas.

    There is nothing to the banning books story, since no books were banned.

    She was for the bridge to nowhere before she was against, but she was in the end against it. Obama and Biden voted for it.

    I wish I could be impressed by the RNC. The truth is, the DNC didn’t want Senator Clinton elected, the RNC wants McCain/Palin elected. Now if the RNC had been as vocal about sexism six months ago, I might see them as the party fighting for women’s rights and equal treatment. But they weren’t.

    The RNC knows there are millions of women who have struggled with discrimination and sexism in their own lives and became disgusted as they saw it displayed on the nightly news and cable news for the past year. The RNC want to win an election. The RNC catered to the Moral Majority since the 1980′s. They’ll cater to women now to get McCain elected.

    But once the election is over with? The Christian Right is still waiting for Roe v. Wade to go bye-bye, Jesus and Mary to show up on every courthouse lawn across the country in December and school prayer.

    I don’t think women are going to find the RNC anymore successful for their agenda than the Christian Right has.

    That said, at least the RNC is fighting back on sexism and it’s getting air time. The issue has been the pink elephant in living rooms and offices across the country for decades. Hopefully discussing the issue in the spotlight will have positive results, even if the RNC forgets all about sexism once the election is over with.

    You know how they would have been able to impeach Bush like they did Nixon and could to any future President who thinks the President can spy on American citizens and collect dirt on his enemies? FISA. I bet Obama would never do something like Nixon when he broke into psychiatrists’ offices to ruin politicians. Oh, wait, Obama did. He unsealed an opponents divorce records and published them in the Chicago Tribune.

    Sarah was a point guard and head of her state championship basketball team in high school. That’s when she got the nickname Barracuda.

    If Hillary thought the nutcrackers were tasteless, she should have called for a boycott. Penn advised her against that. If Democrats were offended, they should have called for a halt to the behavior. Republicans cannot stick their nose in the other parties politics, but there were some who spoke out against unethical and sexist behavior.

    bmc,

    WHY DIDN’T OBAMA PICK HILLARY AS HIS VP?

    We didn’t want him to pick HRC as his VP. We wanted her to pick him as her VP, since she won the nomination fair and square, only to have it stolen from her by the DNC Chicago Machine.

    As a matter of fact, I’m delighted that he picked Joe Biden. I have nothing against Joe personally, mind you, except for a couple of minor quibbles about the Anita Hill/Clarence Thomas thing and the bankruptcy bill, but (speaking of bankruptcy) Biden as VP just shows how empty BO’s hopey-changey rhetoric is.

    And McCain’s choice of Palin is a master stroke. I’m still stunned at the brilliance of that move.

    Finally, and in case you’re wondering, I’m still a registered Democrat, as I have been for the last 44 years–well, except for the two years I switched to Green to support a couple of local candidates–but I’m now a registered PUMA as well.

    As far as I’m concerned, us PUMAs are the true Democrats.

    Conservative people don’t tend to view themselves as being victims nor do they look to the government, thus you hear little about the -isms.

    Did y’all actually watch McCain’s speech last night? He said very clearly that he works in a bipartisan fashion, and would have people from across the aisle in his administration. You know what I was thinking – maybe Hillary for Sec. of State?? :-)

    And Roseeriter, I am so with you on all of the misogyny and NO support from her colleagues/DNC. I know she has to suck it up for now and campaign for Obama – you know, being a Dem senator and all.

    One completely snarky comment along those lines – Obama is sending out Sibelius to try and counter Palin’s appeal??? Seriously? Does anyone remember her incredibly wooden SOTU response this year? It was beyond painful. When they started calling her a rising star in the Dem. Party, I couldn’t believe it! She may be a very nice person, but she does NOT have the personality of a Sarah Palin. Not even close.

    The only reasons Hillary Clinton is not the democratic nominee and willnot be President in 2008 are because She is a woman and her last name is Clinton. Those are the only reasons and all democrats know it at this point, whether they are accepting or rejecting the nominee. I am very upset with those who are accepting him because they do not have to. Eyes are open now and they are all freaked out knowing the dems willlose, yet again! True Americans should still be calling, emailing and writing to the DNC and showing their disapproval and pulling their money. 30% of Clinton supporters will be voting McCain. I think that is a low estimate. The rest counld not possibly be strong Obama supporters. Of the few I know who are supporting Obama, none of them are strong for Obama. They are only being loyal dems. It is inexcusable to me the people who now realize we will lose this year and that Hillary was more electable. People, get off your butts and take action! Don’t get mad at me for supporting McCain, who I trust. Make the dems give us an electable candidate. It is up to us the people! The democrats have put people who can’t lead in charge and it is time to revoke that privilege. Take our party back. All democrats need to band together. When you have a political party who cannot win the White House in 2008, that party is no party at all. Don’t follow the nonleaders off the cliff!!!!!

    If you are a “religious person” in the USA, you should count your lucky stars. But do not, ever, expect any kind of special treatment or considerations of any kind at all from those of us who read and understand and love the Constitution of the United states.

    It guarantees your right not to be persecuted for your “religious beliefs.” That’s it. Period. End of story.

    As it should be.

    When the “religious” get involved in politics, both lose. Don’t forget that. The ideology-first, “religious” right in this country is learning that the hard way.

He implied that he was removed for reasons involving Palin’s former brother in law. THey are investigating. I am curious why the former brother in law is still on the force. Any who…..

    The media and others have been blocked from examining the content of the Annenburg papers detailing where millions of dollars went in the community organization where there is little to show for the level of investment.

    Tony Rezko is indicted for money laundering and fraud. I want to know the level of involvement that Obama had in that. But I get stimied every time I ask.

    The presumptuousness and arrogance of certain members of the “religious” community in this country and their seeming sense of entitlement is unacceptable. And deeply unAmerican.

    And of course we’re really talking about the fundamentalist, “born-again” Christian Right. The same goons as in government right now. They put ideology first, not the country. McCain ackowledges that with his slogan, “Country First.” My foot liar!

    Everytime this bunch of goons raises the issue of “religion,” it’s a ploy for special considerations. They know it. I know it. These hypocrits are only fooling their mindless flock in spinning otherwise.

    You almost never hear of any other “religious” group making the demands that this one ideological group makes. And they somehow don’t seem to get that any special rights or considerations they manage to finagle for themselves would naturally have to accrue equally to the Muslims and the Wiccans and the peyote-smokers and the rest as well.

    There will be blood in the streets before this group asserts themselves sufficiently to actually subvert the Constitution. Anything less would be unAmerican.

  • bert

    Exactly, which is why I am voting McCain. Every one has to vote their own conscience. But I believe the surest way to help Hillary is to vote McCain. I am afraid that if too many don’t vote at all for Prez, or write in Hillary, or vote third party it will take too many votes from McCain and could result in electing Obama. I also think to be able to effectively purge the party of the far left neoDems and resyructed the DNC we need to make Obama lose BIG time.

  • csuzeq

    I feel sorry for Obama supporters who really didn’t pay attention to what went on in the primaries. My boyfriend is one. He just thinks it was close and in the end and fairly (when I explain otherwise he says it sounds like sour grapes) Hillary came up short. He thinks it is too bad, but that is how it went. That is how the system works. I will tell you that he really thought Barack would pick Hillary as VP because if you buy the lie, Obama is a uniter, smart and wants to be for the people, right? If any of that were true, he would have picked Hillary. He didn’t, which to all of us here, we know why. If you don’t have the whole picture, that comes off as odd. I know my boyfriend recently told me that I was right. Hillary was the more electable. He’ll still vote for Obama, but he also seems to realize the dems will lose once again. He doesn’t believe Obama is corrupt, as much as I’ve tried to tell him, but he does see the writing on the wall and I know he is having a hard time understanding why Obama would not pick Hillary and pick up as many of those 18,000,000 votes as he could. That decision really makes no sense no matter what part of the democratic category you fall into!

    I think someone posted the story about the anti-Obama and political scrubbing on her website.

    She talks all this talk about supporting women around the world, seeking to put women into powerful positions, and then she turns around and endorses Barack Obama, over Hillary Clinton, the more qualified candidate, now she doesn’t want Palin on her show becuase she is anti-Obama?

    So Hillary has to fight against the sexism, while fighting against the racist attacks as well.

    There’s been talk of her going into Black churches to mend the damage that Barack has done with his slash and burn tactics.

    She has a whole lot of work to do and she still needs support.

    My father, a mathematician, and retired colonel has not in my lifetime voiced his preferance for a president. It went against what he viewed as his oath of office as a military man.

    He voted for JFK (a decision he later regreted) but really identified with the DNC. He believed in progressive ideas. He is an agnostic. Highly logical in his approach to life.

    This is why he cannot get what people see in Obama. He cannot get his head around what has happened to the DNC. He describes them as the “party of not them”.

    He has endorsed McCain and Sarah Palin. and for the 1st time he put a sign in his yard. He thinks it is high time to bring a Woman to DC. His mom always made sense and we despertely need women to unscrew the mess.

    He united misogyny and racism.

  • JR

    The polls are getting more and more suspicious. Every time Obama drops in them he ends up tied with McCain. It reminds me of how Obama loves to copy and paste his positions from Hillary and now McCain, so wouldn’t it be funny if his poll numbers are merely a copy and paste of McCain’s? So Obama may very well be lower than McCain, but in order to not appear racist, the polls give him a generous boost to tie him with McCain. So many ties, so many lies.

    Obama won by the will of the caucus, and not by the will of the people.

    The only woman in high office who’s fought 4 decades for the issues that matter to children and women–the backbone of the nation! Sexist attacks on Hillary, race-baiting attacks on Bill and now the cruel diminishing of Palin will cost the exDemoc.rats this election.

    OPED’s Rob Kall had the despicable nerve to write about “The Smoking Womb” and the “Downs baby mama” and disgusting juvenile articles on female anatomy unprintable! It’s Sarah’s turn now to suffer the ignominious misogyny inherent in the Obama thuggery’s platform for women!

    Immigration to Canada (where Universal Healthcare was instituted in l965) is the only way to go if Obamarama gets in! At least, the major cause for bankrtupcies in Canada is certainly not “medical bills”!

    And Palin already said in her wonderful speech that when she gets to the White House (as she will with the help of empathetic women who won’t take the sexist crap any more!), families will find in her a “strong advocate for children”….

    Proof: Imus made some despicable racist (and sexist) remarks on the Rutgers girls’ team. Obama wrote a letter asking for his dismissal. NBC fired the creep. He wrote no letter to NBC complaining about Hillary’s on-air holocaust! No letter to CNN complaining about Hillary’s 24/7 vilification and obviously biased commentary. Ironically, itt took SNL’s skit with Tina Fey to get some redemption…

    Question: Why is Chris Matthews, Olbermann and McCafferty stilll holding on to their jobs and Chris had his mug on the front page of TIME! Are there rewards for Sexism?

    I viewed CNN’s belated “Media and Sexism” with Kurtz and Carol Costello. Incredible. Also, Women’s Media Centre’s
    “SEXISM SELLS, BUT WE’RE NOT BUYING it”…

    Palin’s entering the race may be a game-changer. At least Repuplicans believe in sticking up for their family.And, surprisingly, Repulicans like McCain showed insight and respect for Hillary!

    Palin may deserve the opportunity–now that she learned how wrong she was in saying HIllary’s complaints about sexism were not warranted–to make history in November!
