Shocking Breaking News: Democrats Smear Palin in the Most Base Way [Updates]

[UDPATE 2: New York Times photo of Don Fowler, former national chair of the Democratic party, and his wife, Carol Fowler, the chair of the South Carolina Democratic party who made the reprehensible remarks today.]
Jim VandeHei of Politico.com was just on Studio B With Shepherd Smith and repeated this shocker, written by Jonathan Martin at his blog at Politico.com:
S.C. Dem chair: Palin primary qualification is she hasn’t had an abortion
South Carolina Democratic chairwoman Carol Fowler sharply attacked Sarah Palin today, saying John McCain had chosen a running mate " whose primary qualification seems to be that she hasn’t had an abortion.”
Can you hear my jaw hitting the floor? That Carol Fowler has the cruel audacity to say that Sarah Palin’s sole qualification is that she hasn’t had her uterus scraped?
[UPDATE / GET THIS: Carol Fowler is the wife of Don Fowler, former chairman of the Democratic National Committee, who a couple weeks ago was ROOTING for Gustav to turn into a massive and deadly storm so it would wreck the GOP convention. Don Fowler also infamously attacked Hillary Clinton supporters who wanted a fair count of delegates at the DNC. And it was Carol Fowler who gave Obama permission to violate the DNC pledge that stipulated none of the candidates could campaign in FLorida before the primary, according to The Hill. h/t Katmandu for finding the verification that those two losers are married.]
But, wait: This Democratic chairwoman wasn’t done. Carol Fowler went on to smear all the women who are flocking to Sarah Palin:
“Among Democratic women and even among independent women, I don’t think it helped him,” she said.
Told of McCain’s boost in the new ABC/Washington Post among white women following the Palin pick, Fowler said: “Just anecdotally, I believe that those white women are Republican women anyway.”
It’s the arrogance.
Not only is Barack Obama arrogant, but so are his supporters.
What else motivated Erica Jong to write that those attracted to Palin are “white trash”?
Just wait until “typical white women” hear this remark by Carol Fowler. Barack’s lipstick remarks were bad enough. Now this gutter tripe?
ALSO: It is key to keep pointing out that most of the women who write for and comment at this blog ARE Democrats. But we’re disgusted Democrats. We’re stunned by the sexism and terrible treatment that women are receiving in the Democratic party — from Hillary Clinton to each of us who’ve been viciously and repeatedly attacked by Obamabots.
No one described the complex set of feelings we Democratic women are feeling better than DCMediaGirl and Violet on their radio show last Friday night. Listen to the September 5th show for a fascinating discussion on why so many of us who are REAL liberals and almost always vote for the Democratic party are unable to support Barack Obama and also feel great empathy and respect for Gov. Sarah Palin.
