Dakinikat,

This election season has allowed misogyny to rear its ugly head. It was always there. We just were lulled into thinking it was buried since no one has threatened the status quo like Hillary and now Palin.

To wake up every morning and see that is what some men think of us — and also some women — is heartbreaking. That insecure men that would behave this way is appalling. The insecure women that would throw an incredibly qualified woman like Hillary under the bus are unforgiveable.

actually, you’re right; being a woman is a “negative qualification” in reality in our society; a woman has to “make up” for being a woman with some extra qualifications or experience.

I’ve given some thought to this racist claim and I cannot figure out for the life of me why everyone, including Obama himself calls him a black man. He is not a black man so that means that he will not be the first black president. His mother was a caucasian and he was raised by his caucasian grandparents so how does that make him a black man. The majority of the younger black voters are voting for him because of his race but the truth of the matter is that he is half caucasian and half black. As I see him, he is caucasian with dark skin. The racism card in all reality cannot be used and I do not know why the Obama campaign people get away with using this strategy.

Governor Palin is as qualified as ANYONE.

I was going to respond to you that the MSM is afraid of being called racist if they call Obama on the mat. And that got me to thinking, the MSM had better get off their asses soon because if Barky is elected, they will only be allowed to print big, fluffy happy unicorn stories about Obama, just like they had to do with Bush for fear of being labeled terrorists and unpatriotic. Perhaps we need to point this out to the likes of Olberman and the rest. NO ONE is going to be able to question one policy about Obama without being called a terrorist…er…racist. Whatever.

DavidM – check out this post in No Quarter from 9/22/8.

http://noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/09/22/chicago-machine/#more-4974

At the bottom of the post there’s a dossier on Obama and Rezko.
**********
Also, from No Quarter (6/28/8), here’s an article about a little boy named Curtis, who died when an iron gate fell on him while he was riding his tricycle in one of the slums in Chicago that Obama was supposed to represent. Read and find out what he did instead:

http://noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/06/28/a-three-year-old-boy-dies-in-housing-privatized-by-obamas-rich-benefactors/

After reading this – when I think of BO, all I can see is the face of that poor little boy who was crushed by the a iron gate that was never properly fixed in one of Obama’s friend’s slum apartments in Chicago.

Why isn’t anyone else talking about this?
Why isn’t anyone in the media asking Obama about this?!!

This bias in the media is heart-stopping, unbelievable.

Obama has so much corruption in his past and with his past associations and this corruption is so easily available to any mildly interested party, that it’s mind-boggling that the media completely ignores it.

50 investigators are sent to Alaska to dig dirt on Palin – with the media’s approval.

No one in the media has any interest in finding out what Obama did in Chicago and the mess and corruption he left behind. The only real thing that we have to judge how he would lead this country.

Amazing.

The people that need to answer for this double standard are the producers and editors that make the hiring and publishing choices of what is placed in news media all over this country. They are obviously choosing people with agendas, with political views that are left-leaning and it is destroying their credibility. They seem hellbent on pushing this radical leftist at us.
My question is why? What is it that they will gain? Do they think we will forget and after the election just continue to give them ratings and buy their papers? Do they think that on Nov 5th we will all become brain dead and not remember who did this stuff? I don’t understand what they get out of this?
I hope that republicans are keeping track and the people that trashed Hillary and Sarah, the people that canonized Obama for almost 2 years no longer have their calls returned.

Good point about the fear. Could it be also that the bias towards the selected one is due to the inherent racism in the MSM. If he were white perhaps they might ask him if he were qualified and ask if he had been vetted. Instead they humiliate themselves by fawning all over him and saying such things as I swoon and I get a tingling up my leg. Then when a qualified woman appears they attack her like a pack of wild dogs to correct the image that they are fawning wimps. That’s strange behavior for supposedly grown adults and I wonder what causes it.

I agree. Thank you for putting this into words. It could have been done very differently.

Obama needs to respond by tomorrow, the 24th. I think the DNC gets another month.

thank you, ani–great post. and-silver fox–well said.

We live in Obama-land here in Marin County and my 15-yr old daughter loves Palin. She’s fighting everyday against BO at school. She tells other students she’s an angry Democrat. She understands that Palin is the embodiment of real feminism evidenced by her life achievements.

I’m disgusted with the msm and their treatment of Palin. You’d never know by the way they talk about her and treat her that she’s a GOVERNOR!

BO’s stint in the IL state leg comprised 55 days a year. Totally pathetic. I have NEVER heard anyone in the msm wonder aloud about that.
