Harriet Christian at the RNC [Update]

UPDATE: Here’s the group that Harriet is involved in, “The New Agenda.” And doesn’t Harriet look great! (She looks a lot happier at the RNC than at the RBC, snort!) She was Neil Cavuto’s guest on September 3rd:

    I just saw this at the wonderful Washington Post and felt like saying somewhere, out loud, that I *personally* can disprove this statement all by myself.

    I supported Hillary
    I support McCain/Palin happily now, up from grudgingly before Palin
    “Story” debunked

    “Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (Fla.), who strongly backed Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) in the Democratic primaries, asserted: “I don’t think there were many inroads made in general with women, and none at all with Hillary Clinton supporters.” ”

    Why isn’t this being reported in the media?

    CHICAGO (AP) – The daughter of Sen. Joseph Biden D-Del., was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of obstructing a police officer early Saturday, police said.

    Ashley Blazer Biden, 21, of Wilmington, Del., was with a group of people on a North Side street where several gay bars are located when someone else threw a bottle at a police officer, police said.

    When officers went to arrest another person, Biden blocked the officer’s path and made intimidating statements, Officer JoAnn Taylor said. “Don’t you know who my father is, he will have your badge for this”

    Biden was arrested on suspicion of obstructing a police officer. She was released from custody and is scheduled to appear in court Sept. 20.

    Sen. Biden’s spokeswoman, Margaret Aitken, declined to comment Saturday, calling it a private, family matter.

    There’s no question about whether I’m voting for Obama (I’m not). I’m much more likely to vote for McCain with Palin at his side. I live in New York, though, and I thought Obama’s going to win the state no matter what happens. So depressing.

    Biden’s daughter’s arrest doesn’t have anything to do with her father or Obama. Hell, Obama was a state senator when it happened.

    Gotta love that Harriet! You go girl….

  • candymarl

    Thank you Harriet! As she says the word is choice.

    Women and girls need support no matter their choice. This is what real feminism is about.

    The Elephant in the Room.

    This describes me in a nutcase-shell…I can’t believe I have loosened the reins of the Dim-ocratic Party’s shackles,
    and have jumped into the Lion’s den of the Republican camp.
    Just testing the water, and so far, the peanuts are the same…except for…SARAH PALIN…
    finally a woman on the top ticket. Yes, I am that kind of feminist.

    RIGHT ON HARRIET!!! WAY TO GO! WHOOT!!! Good job!

  • AF catfish

    Harriet is an American original. She is a waitress and a Fox News commentator. I love this country.

  • PhxNickD

    What do you expect Democrats to say?

    Obama is sayin he raised $10M right after Palin’s speech. Hmmm, my thought is maybe the obots are running scared. I understand McCain walked away from the convention with quite a bit of money in tow.

  • candymarl

    Sure it does. If a Downs Syndrome infant is fair game so is Biden’s daughter.

    What does it say about Biden’s parenting? Oh that’s right he’s male so it doesn’t count.

  • Turning Tide

    Alcohol runs in that family. As so many disastrous depressing things.

  • http://divinedem.blogspot.com/ Mary Ellen

    Did I just see Neil gulp when she said they would be watching the media and what they say about all women? He looked a little shaken there. LOL!

    It’s about time these asshats got called out on their sexism.

  • Boxer Mum 06

    I’ll be waiting patiently for next weeks US Weekly to read all the juicy gossip!

    Wonder if calls are being sent out that Joe should withdraw from the election so he can take care of HIS out of control daughter who is in obvious need of an attitude adjustment.

    Maybe Palin’s ex brother in law can taser her!

  • wodiej

    well luckily there are 56 other states (snark)and most of them won’t go for Obama.

  • PhxNickD

    You see this is why the dems don’t want to discuss family matters. Who will win when you have a mother of five, one of who has downs syndrome or someone with an angry bitter wife and another with a a drunken daughter? I say it is all fair game – my early impression is that Palin will defend herself and win (as there is nothing that she will actually have to defend).

  • katmandu

    Be careful who you endorse. Here’s a video of Barack saying nice things about Kwame Kilpatrick way back when. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SODIFZXIPA

    Okay, it’s a bit unfair.

    On the other hand, he does seem to have an awful lots of friends who have run afoul of public mores.

  • Turning Tide

    It’s at this point Hillary – if she had the funding – could enter on an independent ticket. Between the votes she got and the votes Palin got Obama would be humiliated – might not win a single state.

  • Boxer Mum 06

    About as fair as going after someone b/c of a 22 yr old DUI offense?

  • SJ

    Oh wow I wonder if the left is not going to hit the blog and call of Biden to drop out, he is not a good dad, he does not spend time I home, the VP job is too much for him….yep lets hear it now lol

  • William L. Donlon

    ROGER THAT HARRIET!

  • Turning Tide

    She’s definitely cool. First time on 31 May you weren’t really sure. Then she got a Ricki Lake and look at her now. One of the most clear minded pundits going. Give her a show of her own!

  • Psychic madwoman

    I live in California and I feel positive about the McCain/Palin ticket. More stuff will surface about Obama. I think New York might turn red as well.

  • wodiej

    LOL…good one!

  • Duras

    Let’s see if our supposedly “unbiased” media will pick this story up with the same verve with which they made an issue out of Todd Palin’s arrest 22 years ago.

    For some reason, I won’t be holding my breath.

  • tampagurl

    Well, I think the point is the media made a big deal of Sarah’s husbands DUI and her daughters pregnancy. Some questioned her as a parent and blamed her for her daughter getting pregnant. I think none of it is news worthy but if the media is going to go there then I suppose everyone’s parenting skills should be looked at.

  • Bigtime

    What a contrast. Seems like there may be 2 sets of rules huh ?

    Nobama!!

  • tampagurl

    Well, I think the point is the media made a big deal of Sarah’s husbands DUI 25 years ago and her daughters pregnancy. Some questioned her as a parent and blamed her for her daughter getting pregnant. I think none of it is news worthy but if the media is going to go there then I suppose everyone’s parenting skills should be looked at.

  • Duras

    It has about as much to do with Joe Biden’s VP candidacy as Todd Palin’s arrest 22 years ago has to do with his wife’s.

  • popularPalin

    What was she doing in the gay bars? Her dad is a drunk.

  • tampagurl

    sorry for the double post

  • popularPalin

    Obama lies. He doesn’t raise money. He’s handed money from terrorist operatives.

  • Elizabeth Reilly

    Drudge today had the stats on viewership of the McCain speech and MSNBC was AT THE BOTTOM with 2.5 viewer share!
    Think they might wise up? I doubt it, with all that testosterone (that includes you, Andrea Mitchell) floating around! Wherever are the going to put their punctured egoes when they’re no longer watched?
    Payback is grand!

  • Bigtime

    STOP!! LOL! I spit my drink out from the snark in the sentence. :)

    Nobama!!

  • popularPalin

    Harriet! You go girl. Wow. It must have been fun at the GOP convention.

  • popularPalin

    LOL! She makes more money as a waitress than most people make off of a blue collar job. Gotta love her. She works in a swanky place.

  • Rev. Wright, can you fix my garlic nose?

    Here in Chicago, people PACKED bars all around town to watch McCain’s speech. PACKED. People came out in DROVES to see McCain, and they cheered louder than we have ever heard people here cheer (at least since Hillary Clinton clobbered SoetorObama left and right from Ohio to Kentucky and beyond).

  • Fuck you Barack Obama!

    Obviously hell will freeze first.

  • Turning Tide

    Cavuto? She shouldn’t do interviews with people like that. Cavuto’s an ambulatory contraceptive.

  • politicsIsdirty

    A headline in Politico.com – “Clinton set to strike McCain, not Palin”

    Why does Hillary have to help Obama? Obama never cared for her. Hope she starts distancing herself from Obama and the Democratic leadership. They deserve whatever is happening to them.

  • Boxer Mum 06

    Just remember that EVERY vote counts and there are more than likely ALOT of folks like you that think the same thing.

    Don’t assume your state will go either way! Remember the primaries???

    The polls claimed Hillary was behind and would lose several of the states that she won.

    Get out and vote no matter what state you live in!

  • beebop

    If he’s breathing the words coming out of his mouth are lies. JSM got $84 Million today in matching funds. That is why the Democratic women have to iron his shirts. He’s running short on money because he shot his mouth off. His first executive decision was not to take public funding. The second was to diss HRC’ supporters and his third was to pick a VP who garnered 9,000 votes …. duh. Not leadership I believe in …

  • Turning Tide

    Does he have any friends who haven’t? Does Obama have a single really good character witness?

  • Boxer Mum 06

    There is a story on the BBC News website about Obama and a Nigerian fund raiser.

    I’ve tried to post the link several times but it will not post. If you go to BBC NEWS and search in their site Obama Nigeria, it will appear.

    Worth a read. I’m sure they were just an innocent group wanting to buy t-shirts like their fellow supporters in Gaza.

  • tampagurl

    I suppose Obama can raise that kind of money when his elite snobby friends like George Clooney have fund raisers in Switzerland for him.

    Those people make their money in the U.S, from all of low class Americans and then live in Europe. I’ll never watch another George Clooney movie.

  • Postmaster

    WOW wow wow did you hear that young man unload on Obama about the mess in South Chicago that he was ‘supposed to fix’?

  • beebop

    If you post your link in quotation marks, you won’t have a problem ….

  • Postmaster

    that’s true, but every vote for McCain is one less for Obama!

  • beebop

    Not that he’s not either related to or funding … where ARE those college buddies most people have?

  • beebop

    Politico was the same bunch who couldn’t give Hillary a break either. I have a really hard time understanding what the hell is going on. But. It’s above my pay grade. I just want to see Soretoes defeated.

  • Lark

    That’s what I say.

  • tampagurl

    No, can you give more details?

  • Boxer Mum 06

    Actually, every vote for McCain Obama needs 2 to pull ahead. One to equal and one to advance.

    Harriet is awesome. I was so privileged to get to talk to her in Denver. However, she wasn’t at the RNC this go round….It was a camera feed.

  • wodiej

    I think Andrea is a transvestite….

  • Lark

    Off topic: With the problems brewing with Russia, I bet Libya will become a major supplier to the U.S. and Europe. Irony 1.

    I wonder if Barry Soetero would invite him to the White House to stay with him for a few days. Maybe to pray and break the fast during next year’s Ramadan.

  • kneec29

    Isn’t it amazing that the arrest of Sen. Biden’s daughter is a private family matter, huh! Amazing…Can you tell me what is going on in America? Media can trash females but not males! Not that we would want to hear about it anyway but that certainly isn’t the point. As for John Edwards, I certainly do not believe that all is calm in that corner out of respect to his wife and family.

    The stories already flowing through the media like a tornado about Gov. Palin are simply a bunch of trash and I see absolutely NO respect for her family. Enough is enough from all the sexist media. There are certainly enough women on the front that I can almost make a wager we can stop you…..

  • JohninCA

    Well, he certainly did “astounding things”; one has to concede that.

  • CJ

    He could invite Rev Wright to do the honors. Seems the ole Rev enjoyed his time in Libya.

  • Lochos Vestu

    I am tolerating Palin for now. The repugs on this site can continue to proclaim their undying love for Palin in ways as delusional as the Obamabots do for PhonyBama. Mooselady’s refuting global warming, opposing birth control, and wanting creationism taught in schools aren’t exactly confidence inspiring.

    I can only tolerate Palin but I LOVE HILLARY!

    HILLARY ’12!!!

    I can only stand Mooselady, but I LOVE HILLARY!

  • rw

    Run, Harriet, run for public office.

    Do a test and ask Emily’s List for some cash, and ask NARAL for their support.

    Maybe those two organizations need to be replaced with more contemporary and forward thinking ones. They are stuck in the past just like the DNC.

  • MG

    I love Harriet. I remember when she courageously decried the vicious treatment of Our Gal and was viciously denounced on YouTube by the ‘Bots. She was among the first PUMAs imo.

    YOU GO GIRL!

  • catherine

    I love Harriet Christian. She is true American patriot who understands bias and discrimination when she sees it and is not afraid to speak out. I am right with you Harriet. You speak the truth.

    Hillary 08 If not,
    McCain/Palin 08

  • C.S.

    When Obama sleuths are out there going back to Palin’s high school days to try to find dirt on her and children are fair game; their own past is just as relevant. Especially Barry Soetoro’s school days.

  • Andrew

    I live in NYC and I’m noticing a cooling towards The One. I think it could be close. Combine more misogyny with further revelations about Obamacrat corruption and slime with a big turnout upstate and a GOP Country First push in Queens and Long Island, and the Empire State just might enable the USA to rest easy a whole lot earlier on Election Night.

  • Hope Floats

    HARRIET CHRISTIAN IS MY IDOL!

    I love this woman. Very few people can go on these shows and express themselves as clearly and honestly as this woman does. She was a waitress in Manhattan, and I could have sworn she lived in a luxury building in Sutton Place. She has such poise, even when screaming at the RBC meeting.

    She shot down all of the Obama arguments, the biggest one being that Sarah Palin was a last-minute pick and had not been vetted. Go Harriet!

  • Eric

    A couple things:

    1. This was six years ago.

    2. The misdemeanor charges were dropped.

    3. Ashley was 21 at the time. She is 27 now.

    4. Obama has made a clear statement saying that people should lay off Palin’s children. The attacks about her pregnant minor daughter have not come from the Obama campaign nor from prominent Democrat officials or office-holders.

    Sarah Palin does not support creationism being taught in schools. Provide a link, if you can prove otherwise.

    And pro-choice means exactly that. Sarah Palin chose to keep her baby Trig, and her daughter chose to keep her baby, as well. Provide a link, if you can prove that Sarah Palin wants to overturn Roe, if she replaced McCain in office and SCOTUS appointments came up.

    THIS “LIKABLE ENOUGH” BULLSHIT FROM OBAMA TROLLS HAS GOT TO STOP.

  • Hope Floats

    AGAIN. CALLING SARAH PALIN “MOOSELADY” IS SEXIST.

    AND THIS “LIKABLE ENOUGH” BULLSHIT FROM OBAMA TROLLS HAS GOT TO STOP. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT SEXIST COMMENTS. THEY SHOULD BE TREATED LIKE RACIST AND VIOLENT ONES ON THIS BOARD.

  • apishapa

    Biden’s daughter is an adult. But, I still consider it a priovate family matter, just as I consider Palin’s daughter a private family issue. I hated the media in the 90s for the way they treated Chelsea Clinton. I sure don’t want to see us fall to that same level. Biden is a jerk, but he has been very careful not to say anything about Palin’s family, except that it is family.

  • OBushMA!

    P-bot in action.

  • Bamboozled

    If they can talk about Palin’s husband’s 22 year old DUI, then why the hell not Biden’s daughter’s 7 year old arrest. Fair game and all.

  • Hope Floats

    Whatever.

  • K Bentley

    This week, Biden’s son lost his indictment charges. This count for something.

    BTW: It was Biden’s son who brought phony charges on Larry Sinclair and draged him to DE.

    Remember, right after Sinclair’s tell all in DC? Then off to DE for “unknown charges pending?”

    I am very familiar with the police as well as tht part of chicago.

    That Biden’ daughter is VERY STUPID if she thought the police would be impressed by who she was.

    The police in this town are very agressive (and all over the place) and while i would say corruption is always a possibility, it is a lot less likely anyone woud be able to sucessfully name drop than before.
