Which Woman Shall We Blame Today???

Uppity Woman, you are brilliant. Excellent post.

Thank you.

I have never seen anyone fight harder than Hillary did, until at last, backed into a corner, 22 million in debt, there was nothing else she could do. She will live to fight another day.

I am likewise sick of women who bond with the offender and trash other women. Any of the men on the campaign trail would have folded like cheap suits long before Hillary did being outspent 3 and 4 to 1, stabbed in the back daily by her own party, with the endless media bashing, fase charges of racism and Obama misrepresenting and trashing her record and her husband’s. Her male counterparts all would have been crying in the street.

Does anybody doubt that?

In fact, any time anyone said anything about Obama he started whining pitifully and millions rode to his rescue.

As for Palin, she totally lifted Mac’s candidacy and he did much better than he otherwise would have in this horrible environment for a Republican.

I don’t know about today, but I can’t wait for the mackdaddy’s wife, Meeshell, to step on her dick. Man, will I have fun with that.

OT, and by-the-by, I just joined Rev. Mannings’s resistance movement.

No, that Kenyan/Indonesian hybrid is not my president.

Note from Greta’s wire: (email from Steve Schmidt)

Palin rumor of coming to door in towel incident never occurred.

So just to recap. John McCain’s loss was Sarah’s problem.

Naturally, just like if n0bama had lost it would be Hillary’s fault.

Ani–I respectfully disagree with you on the point of Sarah Palin. I know this is pro-Palin site now and I HATE how she was and is being treated…but some of us (and we are women) feel she was not the best choice for VP. I still voted for McCain but I know many women who did not because of Sarah Palin. You may not agree with our/their reasons but she did alienate many who would have voted for McCain. I think what is coming out of the former McCain campaign is ridiculous and the press is continuing to focus on Palin as she is still very newsworthy. Whether people like her or not, she has a bright future in politics. I would not be surprised if she runs for Ted Stevens soon-to-be vacant seat. After six or eight years as a Senator–she’ll surely be a force to reckon with. I remember when I voted for Party Murray in Washington state and she ran on the platform as just a “Mom in tennis shoes.” Senator Murray has done well in the senate and continues to be re-elected. I’m sure Governor Palin would fare the same. I am originally from Alaska and politics up there is a whole other ball game…..

So, wait, Lynn herself was railing on Palin? Well, I no longer support her and think she’s scum if she did that. She is one of Hillary’s best friends so I guess it figures. ANY woman who trashes Palin is a moron. Period. You don’t have to agree with all of her policies but she packed venues full of REAL people with REAL American values. The rest of this elitist garbage and these disgusting people like Lynn can bite me, sorry.

I don’t think Lynn ever did that. I am lost as to why you think that?

I need to stress that I do not think McCain lost because of Governor Palin….I think she was just one of a many variables. I realize one can argue she brought more to the campaign than she negated…but at this point that’s irrelevant. The press just needs to back off.

Sixty-nine percent (69%) of Republican voters say Alaska Governor Sarah Palin helped John McCain’s bid for the presidency,

Ninety-one percent (91%) of Republicans have a favorable view of Palin, including 65% who say their view is Very Favorable. Only eight percent (8%) have an unfavorable view of her, including three percent (3%) Very Unfavorable.

Good grief. Thick much?

I do not particularly like Sarah Palin and therefore I am a MORON? I’m allowed to “play” here if I TRASH Obama but if don’t happen to LOVE Palin I am not welcome?!

Uppity: Broken record that I am – I am reposting a comment I left on your site about this because I think there is another point to be made.
I also watched Lady R say yesterday when asked about Hillary’s future “She has hung her star on Barack Obama”. You got that right Lady Lynn.
I am among those absolutely disgusted watching Hillary carry Obama’s water. Do I blame her for our loss – no, absolutely not, big difference there. However, watching her campaign for him clearly in an attempt to keep her political career alive, maybe also an attempt to clean up the smears that besmirched Pres. Clinton was enraging. It was like bearing witness to an abused woman cleaning up the kitchen floor after her abusor smashed her up along with the kitchen. This really was a chance for one woman to publicly draw a line in the sand and she choose not to. It was Hillary’s choice to bend over and pick up Obama’s broken dishes and I respect her choice. I get why. But I don’t have to pretend the behavior doesn’t do it’s own damage, because it speaks volumes. So, if there is a suggestion here that having a negative repsonse to Hillary’s choice is engaging in vicitmizing her I repectfully suggest that’s a bit of splitting. Shutting up and pretending that there is no consequence to Hillary’s very public and repeated choice I find somewhat kindly misguided. So I most respectfully disagree with some content. I appreciate the chance to voice a difference of opinion and mean absolutely no disrespect to the author or the many who will completely disagree with me.

we are so “powerful” that we were able to take down a ticket and an entire election, but apparently not powerful enough to be considered worthy of leading our country.

brilliant post, and it made me chuckle – always a bonus.

She was NOT railing on Palin. She was rolling her eyes at the goombahs who were railing on Palin.

The Clinton and Palin bashing that began last year and is still going on proves that it is still okay to beat up on women with no civil, social or legal repercussions. The verbal onslaught from Jay Leno, Jon Stewart, Letterman, Mahr and other comedians not to mention male and female commentators as well as the One himself and his followers makes one physically ill. I saw Tina Fey for a moment on Oprah and couldn’t watch anymore. She and Dowd and others make me ashamed of my gender.Violence against women by their husbands, boyfriends, ex husbands etc goes on every day of the week in every state and is in newspapers everywhere but it doesn’t matter that we’re in 2008 and this should not be so common. But when we see what has happened to these very accomplished female politicians it is no wonder that that we have made little progress in this area. All of those people who showed such hatred for two essentially good women have the blood of all abused women on their hands.

Not worthy when it is stolen by a fraud and garnered by fraud.

Truth and courage to spread it knows no gender. Bill and Hill both should have had the courage as leaders to give us the facts.

It isn’t easy to testify against someone but it has to be done. They put themselves into the position of Leadership. Either Lead or step aside. They chose to step aside.

McCain knows the difference. I believe Sarah does also. That is what being selfless is about.

CAROL HAKA

Thanks Uppity, I needed that. I have been so furious with the far right of the Republican party who either stayed home or voted for Precious. When I went to Pa with Harriet to campaign at the Dems for McCain office, the workers at that office remarked about the fact that we Dems were more active in the campaign than the Repubs themselves. We tried but we Puma’s couldnt pull McCain over the finish line while his own party sat and watched. I just wonder how long it will take them to figure out just who they made POTUS. God Save us!

Hillary fought yes she did but where Hillary lost me was when she came out and supported Obama. I still cannot understand if someone know in your heart a individual is wrong for a position how can you then go out and support him for the post and encourage others to do so?

I don’t buy the she had no choice, we all have a choice we can stand up and fight for what we believe in or we can cower down, become quiet and keep thinking about if I rock the boat it will affect me so I will go along for my personal survival.

I do not believe that Hillary had no political shelf life if she did not go along with Obama, I think women would of admired that and her based would of grown, it would of given woman hope to fight for something that you believe in. When women wanted the right to vote if they took the line from the first sign of trouble to remain quiet, reverse their decision would women be voting now?

If Hillary gets nothing in this Obama deal and she has to spend her years sitting in the senate towing the line, well she decided her own faith, it would of been better to take a principle stance she chose not to, she chose to settle for what is give no matter how small, she settled for the abuse, the lies, the misinformation and she took it, because her political life, her time in the senate means more to her than rocking the boat.

Don’t call this trashing am stating how I look at it as a woman, and as for all these PUMA people that said they will support Palin, my gut feeling is they turned right around and voted party and the main reason for this is because Hillary asked them to, not because of Obama, Dean or the fact that they were a Democrat but because Hillary asked them to, they voted for Hilliary’s sake not Obama.

Do you have a link to his site please? All I find are his greatest hits u-tube.

Another great post, Uppity!

I’ve been very disheartened to see former supporters turn on HRC and I’m glad for your post!

Kudos to Lady R! and for all of us that voted for McCain-Palin.

Agree 100 % on the propensity to bash women in this country. However, the only thing we can do about the current Palin and woman bashing is to not tune in. The media has lied and manufactured stories, has suppressed critical information and fostered illegal action throughout this campaign. There simply is no reason to believe a word they are saying now. ‘Unnamed sources’, come on.
McCain was a gentleman through out. After all, he chose Palin in the first place, and defended her and praised her experience throughout.
He has repeatedly batted down the rumor that there was any friction in the campaign. He also pays women, who are given the highest positions in his staff, more than their male counterparts. This blame game is exactly what Obama and, by default, the Obamedia want us focused on. It takes the focus off the Obama team’s current struggle to transition.
In regard to:

Did Sarah say some dumb things?

They ALL said stupid things, including Hillary, Bill, Biden, McCain and Obama. Some of them dangerously stupid.
Most, if not all, of Gov Palin’s reported gaffes were completely inaccurately reported or fabricated all together.

She is a remarkable woman.
She is the ONLY person who has been willing to tell Americans the TRUTH about Obama.
That says it all right there.

No Obama, she did not trash palin. I am having a hard time finding where I implied that in the piece. But if that is what you gleaned from it, then I have failed.

mkm125

I kind of agree but disgree. First, if you would have put her next to Obama on a Presidential level- she would have been bashed and bashed by the media anyway-but I believe she would have arose the base more. Mccain was looked at by the base in an unfavor way- Palin was the one responsible for all those big crowds- not the old man. Most of us were voting for her not him. We were sick of how women were being treated. I say in a prior blog that my sister in Texas is friendly with a person who happens to know a person who knows someone that is in the inside of Palin’s camp. Whether the rumor is true or not it was said that Palin is going to start investigations on the Media. If by chance this rumor is true- I hope she starts on MSNBC first- she could get her Attorney General to start the works- what they did to her is unforgiveable and if she has a “backbone” which I think she does and doesn’t have a husband named Bill to force her to shut up, she will go after these people- I hope. I believe the rumor is true.

We women are pretty much accustomed to being blamed for every goddamned thing that you guys feel like laying on us, but this time I gotta push back.You need to ask the same question of those whiney far right republicans who sulked because some Far right whackjob wasn’t nominated instead of a centrist. I’ll bet more PUMAs voted for McCain than far right, social conservatives. Boy I guess they showed everybody huh?

You need to ask the same question of the evangelicals who, by last count, gave thirty percent of their votes to a communist who belongs to a religion tied to marxism and the middle east. And then ask them what size burka they would like because they are all fools.

You need to ask the same question of Catholics who went for Barack Obama on one issue only: Abortion.

We PUMAs aren’t going to take your own party’s rap. Sorry but no cigar.

Bra-fucking-vo. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

The woman on the campaign who “has a problem” with Sarah Palin is named Nicole Wheeler. You won’t be surprised to hear that she is a Bush staffer sent over to “help” McCain once he became the nominee. The Bush/Rove contingent was 100% behind Mitt Romney in the primaries and then when McCain had to make the VP selection. He chose Palin instead, and they were all outraged.

Nice for Faux News to put a rockin’ amazin’ PUMA on with Jerry Springer? Is he going to be their new star pundit or something? His pedigree is even worse than Bill O’Reilly’s.

Hell, America rejected class for crass in the presidential election, so maybe Faux News is gonna lead the way even further into the gutter in the “news” broadcasting business. I guess crass sells.

There was no one HRC could have supported except her own party. Although the DNC stabbed Sen Clinton in the back, people need to remember that the GOP, including Sen. McCain, voted to impeach President Clinton (HRC’s husband, remember?) and dragged HRC into court hoping to indict her. I don’t think HRC is spiteful but do you really think she is going to support the GOP?

I am sure that Palin pushed some Democrats away from voting for Mac because they found her more conservative than he — but she also energized the Repub. base and got him more support than he might otherwise have had in this horrible year to be a Repub. candidate. I agree with you the press ne3eds to back off – -making this her fault is b.s.

I think we PUMAs should take a moment to write a letter to Sarah Palin and tell her THANK YOU and encourage her to keep the faith and prepare for a 2012 presidential bid.

Meanwhile, we get started NOW on fighting this sexism so that Palin CAN come back in four years.

It isn’t just the MSM that puts women down it is women that always find an excuse. They said Hillary wasn’t the one then Sarah came along and they were worse with her than Hillary. They don’t even know them and they trash them. Tina Fey is the worse kind and as far as the men go they have no respect for women. I used to love watching Boston Legal but after what they did on their last show I will never watch it again. How can you bash someone that you have never met.

I’m so sorry if I read it wrong. I will read again. I was typing and talking on the phone at the same time. My bad. I am grateful that is the case because I like Lynn. I’m just SO SICK of people trashing Palin. It’s the FIRST thing I woke up to this morning…realizing I am really sad about all this largely because of all of the viciousness of this election. It’s RAMPANT and this country has such a sour air to it. All because of Nobama. It’s who HE is. I am also sick of all the women trashing Palin. Sorry, it’s disgusting. If you don’t like her, move on. It’s OVER and I feel sorry for those women who showed themselves for what they are – jealous, lying b**tches. Period. I love her. Always will. It took so much courage to take all that crap from day one and still keep fighting and cool. Palin didn’t lose this election for McCain…Nobama STOLE IT. Are we STILL on the blame the GOP nonsense? Nobama was a bought, paid for, lying, false hope and promise SELECTED politician with a filthy dirty corrupt machine behind him. McCain SHOULD be President and I bet my life savings that in a few months the buyer’s remorse for Nobama is HUGE. Again, my apologies to you all for getting it wrong about Lynn. I should’t MULTI TASK.

AMEN!!!!!!!

I would love to have her email addie if someone could share. Thanks.

Great point. Many forget what the Clintons endured at the hands of Republicans.

Hey, I’ll be honest. some commenters here trash hillary, and others, palin. I’m telling you right now. If trashing hillary and palin goes on here, I’m exiting this site. sorry, as a guy, I’m tired of how we treat women. and I dont like it when women disrespect other women too. I’m tired of all this sexism. so please dont bring your wisdom, and try to trash these accomplished women.

I agree with you and Ani that she brought more to the race than was distracted, I am merely pointing out that some of us who supported McCain did not do so because of Palin. I think she has a great political future and I will admit I almost did not vote for McCain because of Palin. However, I found that my reasons for not supporting Palin were negated by her treatment as a woman. Now there will be those that will say I am no better than all the AAs who voted for Obama just because of his race if I would vote for McCain/Palin just because of her gender.

Thank you, Benny.

Typewriterstreaming, I very much agree with you. I so wanted Hillary to win and to see her picking up after the one has been hard for me to watch. I agree there is a message being sent by this. Too me it says women should stay in their place.

“It’s not that I won’t support a woman. I can’t support THAT woman”.

Ok well then how about THIS woman then?

“It’s not that I won’t support a woman. I can’t support THAT woman…”

what’s this?

http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/obamas_shadow_government/

I’ve talked to women who decided not to vote for McCain because of Palin.

They said things like “I’m not voting for some hockey mom” and “I’ve met women like her that neglect their children to run the PTA.”

They were petty and sexist and shamefully proved the point of Uppity’s post.

Third party now? Maybe it is the path to victory for a woman in the White House. Look what happens immediately after this election: various Republican “insiders” savage Palin with a bunch of strange and mean stories. (I mean, who was that kicking Biden’s ass in the V.P. debate? Wasn’t that Palin?) So they try immediaately after the election to neutralize the most potent female candidate for national office ever seen in this country. Because they don’t want her around in 2012. It’s the “Indian guy’s turn …” or the “Hispanic guy’s turn …” or the “Mormon guy’s turn…” It’s any “guy’s” turn, but not the woman. The Democrats were no better at any point in this process. So. Third party now? See this blog post regarding the organization “The New Agenda.” Go to:

Can someone explain to me why in Obama’s press conference today there was the sign “President Elect” on the podium is that the norm??

Ok, as a women who is not a FAN of Palin –I am now a “jealous, lying b**tches.”

I agree with many things you have said about Obama and if I remember correctly you made a movie about the Texas Caucus fraud. Well I was a HRC delegate during the debacle in Houston and I will never watch your movie considering your rants here. How dare you accuse me of the above because I do not worship the ground Sarah Palin walks on…you O.I.A.F. are one narrow-minded hate-filled person who needs to step away from the keyboard sometimes!

I just love you REAL progressive men. The obamazoids are not progressives. They are REGRESSIVES.

I want the popcorn concession when all the young women who got a twinge over Barack Obama come to realize they are shit in his book.

THEN the revolution will begin. Again. And This time, they can get their own scars. Because they took the rights others fought to give them for granted. They think their rights will always be there and haven’t figured out that there is a movement out there to whittle them away. Complacency will be their enemy in the end. Not MY problem. I’m all set. But I helped give them something they didn’t appreciate. They will Get It soon enough, and they won’t be feeling like the Obama Girl once they do get it.

Seems as if at every turn this presidential election was either about race or misogyni. Hillary lost, McCain lost, and Palin lost. Get over it and do something about it instead of bitching and whining.

“We women are pretty much accustomed to being blamed for every goddammned thing that “YOU GUYS” feel like laying on us”. HEY! WE MEN, who did not vote for the Chicago thug lost too. This election was not simply about women ONLY. GET A GODDAMNED LIFE, and don’t use such a GODDAMN BROAD BRUSH when you paint men as the root of all women’s problems.

Right on Benny. All of us need to stop with the trashing. It doesn’t matter if you liked Sarah or not. What about just good old fashion respect? Where has it gone? How many of us could get up on the national stage and do what Hillary or Sarah have done? Not me for sure. I would have told them all to F____ themselves. Both women are truly great in their own right and that should be recognized and cherished by all women.

In the end, you reap what you sow….

No if Obama had lost it would of been Bidens fault right?

I doubt it just as Uppity says lets blame the woman~~

and SOC i trust that happens and Sarah has an investigation on the media…

And this has WHAT do do with this thread?

Any other VP candidate wouldn’t have brought out the crowds. Your friends remind me of the early days when Hillary was told she wasn’t likable – because that was what the press told everyone. This time the press told everyone that Sarah Palin was stupid and unqualified, but no one published her sizeable accomplishments. Of course other Governors like Huckabee would have been OK. Huckabee sure is likable.

LOL! Maybe he doesn’t believe it himself. Well, he had that seat cover the the plane “President” and maybe he even has one in his toilet. If, even now, he needs to state the obvious, maybe he’s not ready. It’s all hype. And let’s not forget the planned “week long” Inaugural festivities. What a way to spend money at a time like this. Speaking of money, is there any left in his war chest? Are operators still standing by, waiting to take contributions from any country in the world, in any name, preferably under $200 so there’s not need for a trace? ka-ching, ka-ching! Nice to see a coming boom for signmakers: all colors/fonts/designs welcome for one word signs saying “President,” “Leader,” “One,” “Me,” etc.

The only time race was brought up in this election was by Obama and his campaign…in order to avoid being questioned.

Exactly who is Barack Obama? You don’t know either. I’m not talking about the Axelrod media creation you have been spawning over like a foolish child.

And when you find out, I hope you don’t have to “get over it”.

I think No Quarter better start talking about and bringing to light George Soros.
this guy has got to go down. He loves fucking with countries’ currency and he has an agenda for this one.

Ah yet another person who knows about Soros’ penchant for screwing with economies…

Really great post Uppity. I haven’t listened to the TV at all since a couple days before the election. Just can’t take it any more. Getting all my news from internet.

I wrote the McCain campaign last night and thanked him for running but then stated how embarrassed and disgusted I was that some of his staffers had immediately chosen to attack her. I felt it denegrated the entire campaign and he needed to contact them and take matters in hand.

GAG, Obama’s podium has “office of the president elect” on it….WTF? saw it on Drudge

So you think it’s okay to go off on Palin, rant at her, call her names, lie about her, make comments about her special needs child, wear “Sarah Palin is a C**t” t-shirts, assault her as a woman, etc.? Sorry, I don’t think that’s okay and as for hate…uh…those are the comments full of hate. I have never said one thing like that about HRC or Palin, nor would I say those things about ANY woman, regardless of whether or not I agreed with her thoughts on abortion, which is ridiculous to judge people on. You must feel guilty or something because I never said that women had to WORSHIP her. But any woman who BRUTALIZES another woman as some of these women has needs to think about it when they complain about what was done to HRC. I guess you people think that Palin deserves it but HRC doesn’t. Kind of backwards logic I think. Sorry you won’t watch the film. Your friends who were delegates are rather impressive in it. But I don’t think they were the kind of women who sit alone in front of their computers writing 50 page diatribes on what a C**t Palin is either. It’s unacceptable and you really should think about where the hate is coming from and stop getting angry because some of us will NOT tolerate degradation of ANY woman. EVER.

When men aren’t busy blaming us women, we are busy blaming each other.

Ditto!

Great post. I wonder if Romney were on the ticket and loss with Mac, if the staffers would talk about his religion being the down fall. This is BS, and Mac better come out quick to shut this shit down. I’m getting tired of watching the woman beating sport play out night after night. The media still are using palin to get ratings…despicable.

Obama takes cheap shot at Nancy Reagan.

President-elect Obama at his first press conference, answering a question about whether he had spoken to any previous president:

In terms of speaking to former presidents, I have spoken to all of them, uh, that are, uh, living … obviously, uh, President Clinton, uh … [laughter] … hey, I didn’t want to get into a Nancy Reagan, uh, thing about doin’ any seances…

A cheap shot at Nancy Reagan, who is currently recovering from a fall in which she broke her hip.

Classy.

Let’s not loose our perspective here when it comes to Hillary.

While everyone is focused on Palin’s not being “qualified” to be president, we’ve all forgotten that neither is obama, but he was given a free pass, like all incompetent men are given, especially when they are competing against a woman. Sarah came on the national scene and had only 9 weeks to get her footing and she was badly mishandled by the McCain camp. obama had 2 years and a lot of help from the media and the DNC and he still managed to show just how unqualified he was to be president. We could see that every time Hillary cleaned his clock in the debates. Why do you think he choose not to neet McCain at the 10 townhall meetings that he promised he would? Because he knew he’d screw up. The media let him get away with going back on his word with FISA, NAFTA, public funding and not making the primary about race!

Does anyone believe that a lightweight like obama with no accomplishments to speak of would get the support of George Soros if Soros didn’t believe obama could be used to do his bidding (whereas Hillary wouldn’t), which is why he bought and stoled the election for obama?

Knowing what we know about the men behind obama, does anyone honestly and fairly believe that Hillary wasn’t threatened by Soros and the other corporate tools to get out or else?

Hillary was facing down major power elites who would stop at nothing to succeed, and with no support from within her own party nor the media. Just how do any of you think she could have taken these guys on and expose this coup all by herself?

The U.S. Government has been taken over by those who believe in a one world government. They would never allow Hillary to stop that agenda from being realized. They spent over a half billion to make certain they’d win.

After they threw everything AND the kitchen sink at her, they fully expected her to quit long before June. What this woman did was extraordinary in staying in to the bitter end. By doing so, she made it possible for us to get a better look at who obama truly is.

We owe Hillary a great debt for what she did, so lay off her and lay off Sarah!

Sorry I answered the wrong person.

Notrees…..how does it feel to be spoken of with a BROAD BRUSH? SUCKS DOESN”T IT?

Sexism is like a virus in america. can you imagine that people in europe and asia have chosen women as heads of state ages ago? In America, its customary to humiliate a woman who runs for high office. thats what I’ve learnt this election season. Women, who constitute 52% of the population, are treated like sheep. and I hate it when women persecute other women, whatever their political persuasion. Emilys list, NOW. their agendas have been set back by decades.

I have said this so many times…the plans are like the Euro…The Amero…or whatever Soros calls it. He has a history of trashing other countries’ economies and ours is already underway.

I still cannot understand if someone know in your heart a individual is wrong for a position how can you then go out and support him for the post and encourage others to do so?

Maybe Hillary thought mccain was more wrong for the position.

Hillary asked them to, they voted for Hilliary’s sake not Obama.

I would say in general people that supported Hillary were NOT brainless sheep.

It’s ok Obama, you know we love ya!

I love you guys too! Thanks

GAG, Obama’s podium has “office of the president elect” on it….WTF? saw it on Drudge

ROFL! He’s not a Narcissist or anything, righ? Naaaaaaaaa.

amen

Boston Legal? I’ve never watched it, but isn’t that supposed to be an entertainment show? You know, fiction?

I quit watching TV many years ago when I suddenly awoke to the weird indoctrination stuff that they used to weave into every show. I guess they have stopped being subtle now, huh?

Why are the names of these Palin trashers not made known. Are they sacrosanct?

I usually like Fox, but when Carl Cameron broke this story a couple days ago, He was gleefull. He was almost jumping up and down.

It had a bizarre gay boys trashing the decent straight girl twist that came across to me.

Nothing against Carl, I have no idea about his preferences. I am just saying that there was a weird vibe in this.

Go Sarah!

Whoa, mkm, I think you’re jumping the gun. I did not interpret those comments to mean you or women who do not like Sarah. It read – to me – as if those words were directed to women who trashed Sarah and shredded her and blamed her. I don’t think you fall into any of those categories, do you?

Funny thing is, when the Edwards story broke, O’Reilly wouldn’t touch it because it was “unsubstantiated.” Mr. O’Reilly, for this, you are a PINHEAD.

I must confess, Huckabee IS a VERY likeable guy. I am just not interested in turning America into a theocracy. We are fighting in other places against that very thing.

Exactly. One of my students – male, senior – said JMc was a “loser” for picking Gov. Palin. I asked why. ‘Because she’s unqualified.’ I spelled out her credentials, pointing out that, on paper, she is more qualified than BO to run a government. ‘So,’ I asked, ‘were you aware of these credentials before you commented she was unqualified?’ ‘No.’ I quickly countered, ‘So, did you make that remark based on her unusual accent? Or perhaps you were merely parroting something you heard from the media?’ Again, I spoke matter-of-factly, in even tones, so that my words would sink in. Again, I was met with that look of ‘shock and awe’ now all too familiar to me, after I have confronted BO’s ardent supporters with the facts about this campaign in such a way that they hear what I am saying before they are able to shut me up.

Their names are known. One is Nicole Wheeler. She was a Bush staffer that was sent over to “help” McCain once he became the nominee. The Bush/Rove people tried eveyrthing they could to get Romney the nomination and then they pushed McCain hard to get him to pick Romney for VP.

McCain chose Palin instead, and the long knives came back out.

Steve Schmidt just sent an email to Great VS that the bath towel story is false. It’s on Gretawire. And Greta has a big interview with Palin on Monday.

I may turn on the TV for that.

Well said!

I have been getting over things all my life but blaming someone else for my own shortcomings isn’t one of those things. And, NO, Axelrod’s media creation is not one of the things I have been been trying to get over and never will be. GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR RANT!

this proves that palin was an asset to McCain, not a liability, as the rumour is nowadays.

Can you imagine if Barky would have lost,it would have been Hillary’s fault because she that woman fought till the end.
In the primaries when Hillary was ahead of the old boys network they all united together to trash her I mean all of them.
We know the Judas (Richardson) and Obama after mocking her about her position on gov. Spitzers drivers license to illegals had a hard time answering the question himself and finally said he was for it,no one said a thing not the media none of the other candidates.
Typical msogyny and if you complain about it your not strong enough to be president. All I can say is we are living in primitive times.

What we really need to do is get the talking points to be able to stand up to these “non family values” types and talk them down after they call us names and try to ridicule us.

What can we say to take the conversation to the next step?

Use Sarah’s situation. Specifically the Africa issue. I know this is pure rubbish, but how do you fight that kind of smear. Smear back, I suppose, but is there anyone out there that is schooled in this? It is bullying I think.

Um, honey, take the McCain Derangement Syndrome elsewhere, please.

If you folks here at NQ needed a perfect exhibit of social con MDS, well, here it is.

Can someone explain to me why in Obama’s press conference today there was the sign “President Elect” on the podium is that the norm??

Gee I don’t know. Do you suppose it’s because he is a clinical narcissist who kept him medical records locked up?

mimi,

I had the same vibe too about Cameron! He was way too happy to slam Palin despite not having the sources names in order to confirm.

I bet you the farm he, nor any of these other so-called “journalist”, would have never done this to obama.

Greta Van Susteran has been the only journalist who called them out on this unfair, unsubstantuated, sexist attack against Palin and even reminded people that the same thing happened to Hillary.

Thank you, Greta!

ESPECIALLY WHEN I DO NOT PAINT ALL WOMEN WITH THE SAME BRUSH. yes IT SUCKS!

You are correct. Everyone is allowed to disagree with someone as a candidate, etc. I NEVER said that made women “Bi**tches.” What I SAID what TRASHING her was wrong. Period. And it IS. And women who TRASH her should hang their heads in shame.

And it’s rather obvious that some people are terrified of this incredible woman. Otherwise, LET IT GO. You won. We lost. So WHY keep bashing her? MOVE ON. She’s no longer relevant to this.

Funny, I stopped reading Rasmussen, I was so mad. Glad I saw the results of that poll here. It is so much easier to reason when you have some general stats to refer to. (Glad I didn’t give up NQ, too!)

you’re absolutely right.

Sorry if I offended you. So I will just say goodbye.

Terrific. Isn’t that was Bush’s presidency was build around? Look how well THAT worked out.

America is a Democracy, not a Theocracy. We would fight a theocracy in the same way we need to fight socialism.

Leave people alone. Stay the hell out of their bedrooms. Mind your own business and worry about the log in your own eye instead of the slivers in everyone else’s eye.

Every single regligious whackjob I know only lives by Five deadly sins. They excuse the rest, but only for themselves, while they are busily worrying about everyone else’s sin.

Which two deadly’s are you sporting? Focus on them and bless you too!

OK, who out here can do a piece on Nicole Wheeler.

I bet she does not know the Capital of ??? you name it. She is not a Governor, she is an aide. Who is letting her off on the terrible quotes?

I suspect she is the “shopper”, and geography expert. Did she have any assistants. Can’t we turn one of them?

She sounds like a vindictive nitwit, er, I mean, aide.

While I’m incredibly disappointed in Hillary, too, I have to speak up about a misconception on your part. I know many many PUMAs who not only supported McCain, but who donated and actively worked for his campaign. The fact that he didn’t win can be traced to many things, but for anyone to try to lay the blame at the feet of PUMAs is ridiculous. The very origin of PUMA was opposition to THAT ONE, so to just assume we fell in line for the sake of party is insulting. Yes, Hillary tried to convince people to vote for the fraud, but she also encouraged women to keep fighting the good fight and not back down or give up.

If the Republicans had managed their own GOTV better, perhaps more of their own party would have supported their candidate and he might have won. PUMAs made up a fraction of the McCain voters, but then we’re Democrats or former Dems or Independents. Why should we be expected to carry their candidate to victory?

My belief has always been that the Republicans–not all but the Bushite, neo-con type–sat back gleefully and maybe even helped to trash Hillary because they feared her the most. She would have been an absolutely marvelous President. They didn’t want eight years of her.

I think they voted Obama because they figure they can now get him out in only four as they now help ramp up the case against him. I am sure nothing is going away. All the associations past and present will be mentioned over and over. The election fraud and illegal campaign money–the lack of transparency about his record. This will cripple his presidency. That’s what they’ll be spending their money on. They used Palin and McCain as their sacrificial lambs.

She’s just worrying about working again, considering the shitty job she did with the McCain campaign.

I can’t thank you enough for this great post Uppity.
52% of the American population needs to hear and understand the attacks that women go through to be in politics today.
I blame both parties and the media for not defending women in their role in government.

No get back here! I want to slap you around some more!

Come on. We can fight. It’s ok!

Of course it didn’t. It was the fantasy of the asshole who started the rumor.

After this election season, I expect you women to rise up and confront all that have been unfair to you. If you dont do that NOW, you’re never gonna get justice. Ask questions of the female anchors of news channels who have indulged in sexism. Get out there, and express your views. If you remain quiet, this situation will just get worse. For example, when Prop8 was passed in Cali, did you see the protest that the GLBT conducted? do something like that. ok, I may sound foolish, but I’m tired of the sexism from the MSM. I’m just a nutty guy who cant stand injustice.

Exactly. Someone upthread said that Sarah was the only person to tell the truh about Obama, but Hillary did it too, she told the truth about him and she showed him up for what he was – an inexperienced lightweight.

Both these women have suffered an onslaught of hatred and misogyny, the likes of which most people can’t even imagine, let alone think about facing. The fact that they are both still standing at the end of it is a testament to their power.

I think they are both amazing and it makes me SICK the way people who don’t have a thousandth of their courage and integrity are going after them – blaming Hillary for Obama winning or Sarah for McCain losing. And it’s not just women, it’s mainly men. It’s men who have been promoting this misogyny and blame, and if a few stupid women go along with them that’s their problem, but it’s men who have set this hateful agenda against women and men in general who are carrying it out.

Blaming women for blaming women is a mistake. Men do this to us. We shouldn’t ignore that.

I agree with you completely.
I understand that Hillary did what she did out of political expediency because she feels that by being politically active she can accomplish more.
I could not have taken her path,with every shred of my being I loathe and distrust Obama.
I don’t blame Hillary for Obama’s win, nor do I blame Sarah, that is preposterous.

Obama’s team ran a great campaign ( I in no way condone any of Obama’s methods or associates ) and McCain ran a crap campaign.
Obama lied about everything to people with a pathological hunger for the lies he told.

Uppity, you are a brilliant writer. Thank you for articulating the shitstorm that has been swirling around in my brain this week.

I also saw the pundit pit this morning. Lady Lynn did not turn on Sarah Palin. She has repeatedly stood up to say that what was reported did not in any way match up with the four times she met with the Governor. Do not turn on Lady Lynn, she has been loyal and honest throughout.

Here’s something I sent to some friends yesterday that echoes Uppity’s post. It’s a bit long.

Palin doesn’t know Africa is a continent or the members of NAFTA? Ridiculous. I think she’s very smart, and I’m incredibly sympathetic to the fact that she was understandably –ill-prepared for the role they thrust her into—she didn’t expect to be chosen for VP. Considering the learning curve required to go from insular Alaskan politics to the center of the national stage, I think she did really well, despite a couple of endlessly lampooned stumbles. But I don’t imagine Sarah Palin is going to be unprepared the next time we see her.

I read about Reagan the other day, how he ran for the Republican presidential nomination in 1968, less than two years after he first took office as the governor of California—his first political office, which he won by defeating a two-term incumbent, just like Palin. And Reagan was considered moderately weak on policy at the beginning of his political career.

But back to the sniping from unnamed people in the McCain campaign. People always look for a scapegoat—especially people behind the scenes in politics. It’s more likely, I think, that some members of the McCain campaign are interested in shifting blame to her and away from themselves in order to protect their reputations and future professional offers–and they know that the media is in love with the narrative that Palin is stupid.

McCain lost for two reasons: the economy and the absolute lack of originality and energy in his campaign—outside of Palin—something that was clearly the fault of the very people now trying to smear Palin. Based on their completely uninspired work during this election, I’d be surprised if any of them were ever hired to work on a campaign again—even for Wasilla dogcatcher.

Because of the ineptness of his team, if McCain hadn’t chosen Palin as his running mate, he’d probably have faded away by mid-September–but instead in mid-September he was in the lead and on track to win–until the crash hit. Conservatives (and some moderate Democrats like myself) love Palin and they came out to vote for her, not McCain. They flocked by the thousands to see Palin, not McCain.

It’s amazing that McCain did as well as he did with Obama outspending him 8-1. Compared to Obama’s campaign, the core of McCain’s campaign was totally dated and lacking the slightest bit of energy and inspiration. It reminded me of a quote from Heidi Klum on Project Runway: “We wanted something playful and creative. Instead, we got a sad brown dress.” McCain’s campaign was that sad, brown dress. It was totally lackluster and stuck in the last century, but he still managed to give Obama a run for his money (lots and lots of money)—and that was primarily because of Sarah Palin.

There is no doubt that Sarah Palin was a huge success for the McCain campaign
Without Sarah Obama would have had a 40 state landslide with over 60% of the popular vote
McCain was awesome when you consider the republicans and bush were totally bankrupt at an approval of only 27%.
Palin solidified the Republican base and brought in more women plus puma’s

The reason why Obama won was the massive fundraising acorn registrations in the tank media and election cycle dynamics.
Sarah Palin is awesome…Those republicans that have torn her down are just as disgusting as these sexist democrats

Just call me Mr Independent

Both parties hate women!!

That’s the philosophical problem I face. I simultaneously totally absolve HRC of any responsibility for her own predicament when it came to enduring the slings and arrows of BO and his constabularies; but, because she chose to deal with this her way, this enabled these predators to go after SP. And the only reason my personal opinion matters is that, I am both a school teacher and a mother. (From the moment I became a mom, I was keenly aware, everything matters now; he will learn by everything I say and do.) I want to grow all my ‘children’ to act appropriately and responsibly. This means, I have to sort out for myself when doing what is right means being willing to sacrifice self. And finding the balance between paying too high a price for too little benefit to the common good.

They said things like “I’m not voting for some hockey mom” and “I’ve met women like her that neglect their children to run the PTA.”

How disgusting!!! “Women’s Lib” is such a joke. Women want to get into the workforce and be treated as equals, and then when a Mom goes out and works she’s ‘neglecting her family’ so I won’t vote for her. Which is it??!! I know women who voted for McCain (especially Democrat women) because of Palin.

McCain needs to step up and accept the blame himself. And the self-promoting sniveling lying staffers should be drawn and quartered. McCain didn’t go for the jugular early on like he should have. He kowtowed to the bogus threats of racism. Joe the Plumber was way too little too late. He should’ve had the Rev Wright video on National TV early on. By the time he started going after Obama it was too late–they labelled his “attacks” as desperation, racist, pathetic etc.

I saw BL, too. It was ridiculous and predictable.

Did Huckabee turn Arkansas into a theocracy?

Typewriter, very well said. I am disappointed in how far Hillary went to be used by Obama after he cheated her out of the election. I do not blame her at all for how anything has turned out, nor do I blame Palin, but I have a right to be disappointed in Hillary singing the praises of Obama louder than I wished to hear and surely louder than she had to in order to save her career.

As for men and women and the insane battle of the sexes that has gone on since the beggining of time … my mother always told me that “men are little boys, they never really grow up.” I did not want to believe her at the time. She was abused by her second husband and, yes, she cleaned up the trash after his rampages because she knew if she did not, she’d be living in a garbage pit.

She also told me time and again that “if the cat had kittens, she’d get blamed for it.” Sadly the last quote here is directly related to the first: little boys blame women for anything and everything because they too often fear their own stupidy. Little boys feel that if they are actually responsible for something, then they must destroy that which is responsible. How can a little boy live with this dilemma? And so goes battle.

If I remember correctly it was the Amero & Lou Dobbs talked about it fall 2007 or smth.

The Euro by itself wasn’t an unmittigated disaster, it was the way they brought it into currency. The conversion-rate for us sucked (our politicians always want to ‘lead the charge’ hence get suckered in the EU) which damaged our savings and pension plans, and like most countries they forgot retailers etc. would round-off/make-up prices in their favor when making the coversion from guilder to Euro causing an increase in inflation.

Concerning Soros:
the wife of our second prince, Mabel Wisse-Smit (now Orange etc.), used to be/still is director of that The Open Society smth organisation of Soros in Europe. Besides haven been the floozie of our ‘first real gangster-boss’ Klaas Bruinsma during her college-years, she was for years involved with Mohammed ‘Mo’ Sacerby (in all senses of the word) who was the (indicted for fraud) former foreign Secretary of Bosnia under Izetbegovic (who isn’t the angelic figure some media made him out to be in the 90′s either; if he hadn’t died he may very well have been brought to the ICC). According to some sources (mine are in Dutch, I’d have to look them up as it been a while) she and Mo were – with the help of the/a Soros ngo she already worked for – involved with the arms trade to Bosnia during the war.

Obama Bought The Presidency

lol

thank you for another excellent post Uppity.

I admit, until today, I was ignorant of the fact that so many Republicans either voted for Obama or just stayed home because they felt like McCain wasn’t conservative enough. HELLO?? AND BARACK IS?? What a bunch of morons. They just helped elect a marxist, socialist, terrorist lovin’, radical “I hate America” Reverend lover as President of our country. That is fucking pathetic. And the far left kooks became and elected who they said they despised, Bush’s twin.

This country has not changed much in the last 50 years towards women. We are still considered 2nd class, inferior to men etc. And Uppity is right in part that it is due to women not supporting other women. But it is also these stupid ass pathetic women that put up with this shit from men by staying with them when they beat the crap out of them, sleep around on them and just use them like they are a piece of meat. They’ve just got to have a man! Please, believe it or not, the male and his penis are not the secret of life.

As for Hillary, I totally respect and admire how she fought for the nomination. But for myself I could not support that son of a bitch Obama after the way he treated her. I’d give up my seat in the Senate first. She can do alot of good work without being in politics and not get shit on for it. But that is me.

I disagree with you. she is spirited, witty and has guts and integrity. This site didn’t start out being for McCain or Palin. They won us over.
Mitt Romney played a part in trying to bring Sarah down. He may well be the reason BO won, by causing a little doubt in some voters minds. I WILL not reward him with voting for him, ever. He may well still have shills shilling for him. He tried to buy the presidency once, why not again.

I hope everyone will go to the link and read the whole article.

Palin Thwarts The Gas Cartel
By INVESTOR’S BUSINESS DAILY | Posted Tuesday, October 14, 2008 4:20 PM PT

Energy: Iran resurrected its idea of a “gas cartel” to control gas markets like oil. But even if it succeeds, the U.S. won’t be vulnerable. If you wonder why, look to the governor of Alaska.

That’s right, Gov. Sarah Palin took a powerful preemptive step in August to shield the U.S. from a coming gas cartel. Palin’s effort to create the Trans-Canada Alaska gas line — which would provide a vast new trove of natural gas each day to the U.S. — effectively nullifies the emerging gas cartel’s potential impact on America.
If OPEC strikes you as a bad group, the new cartel for natural gas, led by Russia and Iran, will be even worse.

http://www.ibdeditorials.com/IBDArticles.aspx?id=308875782529958

What an ass! My biggest problem with BO – assuming none of my other efforts succeeds in getting him booted out before the electoral college votes on December 15 – is this. I have taught my son to respect the office, even if he cannot respect the officeholder. How the hell am I going to do this with BO when I literally cannot stand to look at his face?

I will admit that even though after Hillary left the race I decided to back McCain it was more because I didn’t like Obama. However….when Sarah Palin jumped in, that is when I got excited. I wrote a letter to the editor of the Anchorage Alaska newspaper this morning as well as left some scathing remarks on their blog about how lucky they were to have Governor Palin, that they are bunch of whiny, selfish wussies and that they dont’ deserve her. I also sent Palin a personal note thanking her profusely and how proud I was to have attended her rally when she was here in Ft Wayne. I also told her I hope she continues w public service, we need her.

Her critics from the time she entered the GE forum continuing now is nothing but a bunch of pathetic, inept, losers who simply refuse to take responsibility for their own inadequacies and mistakes.

I hope Palin kicks some major ass with the media and knocks down some other doors. “bitches get stuff done”….Go Sarah Go!!

Here is another resistance group forming.

At ModernConservative.com (and our activist arm AnyStreet.org), we have huge plans.

In order to implement those plans, we need help from committed conservatives in a number of areas.

The foregoing is a list of these areas, along with a brief description of each. All of these are on a volunteer basis for the time being.**

The specifics are down below, but the summary is this:

We need . . .

• Activists
• Programmers
• Bloggers
• Net surfers
• Researchers
• Writers
• Networkers
• Managers
• Guerillas
• Salespeople

Many of these jobs can be combined for someone with more time/ambition. Many of these, likewise, can be divided up into smaller units for people who want to help, but who have limited time.

Interested parties should contact:

christopher.cook@modernconservative.com

katie.omalley@modernconservative.com

Larry maybe you would like to check them out and link to them?

and then at Atlas Shrugs another

FROM THE ASHES …. the ModCons
TAKE BACK THE FREE WORLD …… ONE INDIVIDUAL AT A TIME. Viva la resistance!

First off let me thank the hundreds that emailed and commented on this thread, eagerly volunteering to take back America from the incoming socialist administration. One of the killer grrrrrrrrrrrls I am working with is Kate O’Malley in tandem with a new modern conservative organizations, anystreet.org (think moveon.org but not evil) .
We need 3140 people…one in every county in the country… we just kicked and have about 50, so we have a long way to go. It is not going to be a dictatorship, just some structure to help make this movement stronger internally….no one has to “choose” between anystreet and whatever else they do, I am not, it is just an additional way to connect and galvanize. If you want to lead a county, email me your info at writeatlas @ aol.com

Has there ever been a time since the Revolution that Americans have thought about resistance?

Exactly.

I do not understand why Hillary felt the need to degrade herself in order to build up O-zero. It was her choice and she helped to enable the monster.

She gave women and girls a clear message — we are second class citizens — FOREVER. There will NEVER be a woman President in America — NEVER. Get used to it women. The ERA will NEVER happen — sexist “liberal” penises are opposed to the ERA calling it unnecessary.

The US has a bad case of Penis worship.

In a thread overnight — several of us decoded the word “experience” as meaning “penis”.

The sexist pig wrote that the next GOP candidate Someone “like” Palin but with “more experience”. CLEARLY “experience” is a code word for penis.

Hillary went way out of her way to enable the sexist pig Obama — none of the other candidate were forced to humiliate themselves to the extent that she did.

Uppity Woman — you make a lot of valid points. But that joint Clinton-O rally held in New Hampshire where Obama has his hands Hillary was so damned creepy. Just like the spouse that beat the crap out of his wife the night before — and then the next day paws her in a public display of affection.

She did not have to allow Obama to put his abusing hands on her body — he invaded her (and my) personal space. I have to question WHY she allowed him to handle her body in that manner. He abused her — he said vile things about her and he gave her the finger.

She should have drawn the line at allowing him to man-handle her in public. The body language of that encounter spoke volumes. She was a fighter but she in the end submitted to Penis power.

Why fight? Don’t bother — be good little girls and perhaps the Penis power will throw a few “good” girls a few crumbs.

Also there is the problem of Mrs. Obama — who hates other women. It is doubtful that any women will play a significant role in the O-zero mis-administration — because Mrs. Obama hates any strong women. She is best friends with subservient women who know their place. Part of her religion seems to be that women are to serve men. This is part of the Black Liberation Theology — Black Panther creed. This monster will put women’s progress back another 50 years.

I suspect that Mrs. O — instructed O-zero exactly how to demonstrate to the world that he now dominated the uppity WHITE woman — by pawing Clinton in public.

White women will be the target of this “get even” couple from hell. And yes — everything that goes wrong will be blamed on Hillary Clinton who represents ALL white women. This will happen even though Clinton did more than any of the male candidates to show her support for the illegitimate candidate.

I’ve lived in a Caribbean country — and the black ruling class has a special hatred of white women. They have code words and ways to make white women “conform”. These countries worship the penis — and the men have several mates who produce many children. Most of the men do not support their multiple families — thus the women are viewed as “strong” because they hold a job and raise their families with no assistance. Meanwhile these men troll for high school girls — waiting outside of the high school to give girls a ride home. The girl with the most toys is known to have snagged the richest guy (often a politician or a lawyer).

Mrs. O-zero calls O an accessory. This is consistent in a culture where there aren’t that many nuclear family units (dad, mom & kids). Many black women hate white women — because they are fearful that the successful & educated black males might marry their way up the social ladder. White women who do marry black men have been treated very badly by the men’s female relatives. So Mrs. O’s views and prejudices will be a major problem — will the media cover up her racists outbursts?? Oh probably.

I said on an earlier thread that I am extremely worried that the GOP is going to go this direction for 2010 and 2012–heavy theocon with a sprinkling of fiscalcon thrown in the mix.

That’s why I still hope to find sane democrats to support, and that’s why Obama’s election is an absolute disaster for politics in the short term. The Pelosi/Reid/Obama/Dean thugs are now the leadership of the democrats, so they aren’t going to smile on centrist dems in primaries next time. And the theocons are on the march in the GOP–they refused to vote McCain so they can take over (or so they think).

not good on either side

I couldn’t agree more!
Look at what is happening to Leiberman right now…The corrupt leaders of the DNC are threatening to remove him from his chairman seat because he backed McCain, and he isn’t even with the Democrats anymore! Think about that when you blame Hillary for not fighting an un-winnable battle against The Press, the Democratic Party, and lest we forget, the Republican Party all at once! What would it have gotten her? Respect from PUMA’s and that’s it. Well guess what, Our respect for her wouldn’t help the people she’s fighting for. Our respect wouldn’t let her work towards healthcare for all. Our respect wouldn’t even be enough to keep her in the Senate as Republicans and Democrats trashed her the next time she’s up for re-election. She lent her campaign millions of her own money to keep in the fight as long as possible, hoping that someone who could speak up would, but the corrupt leadership of the DNC made sure NO-ONE DID! If there’s one lesson we need to remember from what happened to “Joe the plumber” and Joe Leiberman…if you stood against the abomination of the Obamanation you get shit on and tossed aside by his minions!

Are you saying that Palin did a shitty job with the McCain campaign???

If so — you are absolutely WRONG!

I have read and re read the posts trying to find where someone called you that….. Guess I missed it or it was deleted? What I did see was people stating their feeling like you did.

Some of us like Sarah and some are neutral and some don’t. The big picture is true. Women are not being treated fairly. And with a sexist and a racist in the WH the chances for a woman are slim. In fact if I am right he will have all of us except Mechelle wearing burkas. She will be in her leather pants and cracking her whip.

I did too. Also joined Lynn’s Together 4 Us.

There is some talk about that over at FreeRepublic. Comparing Obama to Carter, and how the Carter disaster brought them Ronnie RayGun.

Let us not degenerate in ageism on this issue. Remember us old people will be dying soon and some of you may get our money, unless we piss it away on botox and Jack Daniels so fuck off the old man shit– that is just as crappy as the “cunt” stuff.

I’d walk through Hell and slide down a 50 foot razor blade into a tub of alcohol to vote for Sarah Palin and I certainly don’t agree with all her positions. She has something lacking in this whole damn crowd– courage. Unless she goes completely Reagan or Huckabee I’ll be behind her.

Even if she becomes a Reagan clone I’d think twice before I’d vote for Obama over her.

I am a male rabbit hunter, too.

That is precisely the point no woman is satisfactory. Women need to own some responsibility for the fact that they do not support one another. Not all but in sufficient numbers to change the outcome of an election given our numbers. Think about it unmarried women made the difference in this election. In a serious economic downturn such as the one we are now in this particular demographic fares the worst. Talk about voting against one’s self- interest!

I am not saying that the media isn’t totally exploiting the sexism.We have to look out for ourselves.

Excellent article Uppity! I especially agree with the need for solidarity. This is not to say that I’d vote for any female candidate just because I’m a woman. But Clinton and Palin are both so accomplished, hard-working and deserving that they EARNED my votes.

I’ve read before that Romney people were behind a lot of the Palin smears, and the Obama media continues to lap it up and spit it out as if it’s the Holy Gospel rather than the political turf war it is. The ferocity of the attacks on Palin are a testimony to how formidable Romney and the Democratic Party believe her to be. The more they try to tarnish her the more lustrous she is to her supporters.

My husband’s for Obama and he told me with glee that Palin didn’t know Africa was a continent — after all, he’d read it on HuffPo so of course it had to be true. Anything negative said against her is taken at face value by Democrats because that’s what they want to believe. Romney must be scared to death of Palin. Smears like this are almost laughable.

I didn’t like it at the time but Hillary did what she had to do to remain a viable force in the party. Besides, she may have wanted to be ready to step in if anything disqualifying came out about Obama (as if). Sarah seems quite capable of defending herself and it wasn’t Hillary’s job to do so.

~Ok, as a women who is not a FAN of Palin –I am now a “jealous, lying b**tches.””~

I think you misunderstood; it isn’t about liking Governor Palin or not liking Governor Palin, or liking Senator Clinton or disliking Senator Clinton; it’s the male perception of your choice. Don’t like Palin or Clinton, “good girl“. Like Palin or Clinton, “bad girl!” The context of your vote is judged through the eyes of male politicians, just like the primaries.

And these women didn’t lose because of their political ideology, they lost because they had cleavage to poke fun at, their clothing styles – both too masculine and too feminine. One too old, one too pretty. Take another look at the insults and find one that addressed their intelligence and their policies. Don’t include the Palin bimbo insult because, after all, the woman did what the men could not and balanced Alaska’s budget. And Senator Clinton’s policies couldn’t be too bad since Soertoro/Obama, our first foreign selected president, stole them all.

Now compare this with the ridicule the male candidates had to endure from a mean spirited press and you have an answer that goes beyond the names of the women candidates; it didn’t matter who they were, Stephanie Tubbs Jones had been a very successful Congresswoman for 8 years and also received a lot of vitriol just for supporting Senator Clinton.

Nothing in this election was about the “content of the candidates’ character” nor about the “color of their skin” – it was about chauvinism all the way because both Michelle and her husband showed nothing but disdain for half of the United States population. (I want to see the fireworks the first time Soertoro/Obama dares to flip off a country’s leader like he flipped off his opponents.)

And why doesn’t anyone call attention to Mrs. Obama being one of the worst of the “women haters”? I think it’s because she can’t stand for any woman to be more intelligent, prettier, younger, or receive more attention than her.

Brace youself. Sarah Palin is going to continue to get it from both sides. Looking toward 2012 she is the front runner. Her NATURAL BASE is larger than anyone else on the political scene today, including Barack Obama. By NATURAL BASE I mean those who will enthusiastically support her AS SHE IS — without lying, bribing, bartering, twisting positions, cheating, cutting deals, etc. It’s the kind of support money can’t buy. Obama may have been blind-sided and mystified by it, but any Republican wanting to run in 2012 was not. No one wants to run against her. They will do their best to discourage her from entering the race in 2012. The Obama side and MSM will magnify Republican efforts.

Exit polls – 16% Hillary Democrats voted McCain.

Outstanding piece, Uppity. I have been saying stuff like this to my sister, cousins, friends, to no avail. The biggest issue with Palin is that the Obama campaign, courtesy of its PR firm, spread all of those lies abt her IMMEDIATELY, which the MSM was all too happy to parrot without bothering to investigate any of them. Whem/IF they offered a correction, it was WAY too late. Just last week, I had this e-conversation with a friend in Baton Rouge – she ad NO IDEA that Palin had done all she had, and considers herself a pro-birth-control feminist (and may I just say, these “feminists” claim she isn’t one because she CHOSE to have Trig? And if they found out she had aborted a Down Syndrome child, can you imagine what they would have said abt her? Yeah, you know it.).

ACROSS THE BOARD, they only knew what the Obama Media told them, and any attempts to set the record straight were dismissed by the majority of them. REALLY disturbing. I have always considered myself a VERY liberal, pro-choice feminist, and I was one of the ones busting my ass to fight for equal rights for women, but I didn’t realize that only liberal women can be self-actualized.

Oh – and they couldn’t believe it when I’d tell them I would have more rights in AK than most states in the country, thanks to Gov. Palin. There was ALWAYS a reason to tear her down – starting with Gloria Steinem, them Eve Ensler, and on and on…

So, yeah – pisses me off when we throw our sisters to the wolves. Thanks for a kick-ass article, Uppity!

This also on Drudge…Oprah possibly closing down in 2011. wonder if she will then run as BO VP?

I doubt that I am alone when I say, I get tired of women lumping all men into the same catergory. I wasn’t very excited about McCain, and thought a better Rep could have been fielded for presidential candidate to fight ” it’s all Bush’s fault the past 8 years “, until Sarah Palin came on the scene. That I could get behind with enthusiasm. I’m 57 years old or young sometimes, I grew up with respect for women and have never and I do say never been given credit for being supportive of women.
Maybe women should learn to recognize their true male supporters, then acknowledge them, and then attack only those that are sexist, misogonists or whatever. You might find more of the real progress that you are looking for.
After all not many women want to be lumped into the same catergory. I sincerely hope Sarah Palin, or another woman or a man can come forward and deliver a ” clean house attitude “. That is why I think Sarah was bashed, and I think that is why she drew the crowds, she’s not JUST ANOTHER ONE OF THEM.

Greta is supposed to be getting an exclusive interview with Sarah. Great for both of them.

Great post, Uppity. Although I disagreed with several of Governor Palin’s social stances, as I came to know her throughout this campaign, I found her to be an extraordinary person, and I thank Senator McCain for choosing her as his running mate. I was happy to vote for the McCain/Palin ticket rather than the “selected” candidate my Party pushed down our collective throats. I, again, have deeply understood, thanks to this recent election cycle, how easy it is to divide women and attack each other – if we choose to do so. This election was very simple for me: Either you chose to condone the misogyny, sexism, fraud, corruption, and outright theft and thuggery by staying home and not voting or voting Democrat, or you stood up and said “NOT THIS TIME,” and voted McCain/Palin. To me, this election was also a referendum on women and equality – and we lost. Again. Imagine if patriots like Nathan Hale and Patrick Henry had chosen to not stand up for democracy and freedom, this great country would never have been founded. I think the next four years are going to be severe and we will all be challenged with many hardships before this “amusement park ride” ends. I think we will all need to stand together if we are to survive. In closing, I want to thank NQ and all the great writers who have enabled many of us to keep our sanity these past long months.

omg

On election day I encountered a guy from my church, he was a super anti-Mac guy during the Republican primary. NO WAY NO WAY ever would McCain get his vote.

Well, Palin changed his mind. He pretty much had the same respect for her that you do.

There is now way a mother of 3 successful teenagers doesn’t know Africa is a continent. For God’s sake, elementary school children bring home things for homework, and PTA moms like Palin help their kids with that work.

Not to mention that her dad is a retired teacher and she has a college degree….

I’m sorry to hear your husband is an Obot.

You don’t have to be “powerful” when you cheat. Just remember you fooled very few of us. It was like watching that cheater in grade school copying off of someone’s test and then bragging about his “good grade”.

Soertoro/Obama will not be missed if he moves on before January 21 to “win” another election in another country, like Indonesia or Kenya and I’m sure his cousin Odinga would like the help.

“Take down”…hummm, a rather hostile and antagonist way of uniting a divided country who didn’t like mystery man Soertoro/Obama. Most of us aren’t as naive as we were when Bush was selected but obviously you are because you haven’t figured it out yet.

-Anyone with ½ a brain knows Palin got McCain farther then any other VP choice could have
-Her intelligence level was above both Obama & Biden (maybe even combined)
-She was middle America and the change that American’s supposedly wanted
-Those that followed closely could tell this woman is a fighter and was put on a leash by McCain early on, probably a big regret by the campaign

Someone said toward the end of the democratic primary, they would never have allowed Hillary to be president because that would mean the standard used to judge a professional man would now be different. Just imagine how inadequate every single male buffoon would have stacked up next to Hillary? Kind of makes you laugh at what we have doesn’t it?

No he did not. But a state is not the USA. Things in a state happen by referendum. Being in charge of a state is distinctly different than ruling the entire country. Besides, when people have designs on the constitution with respect to religion, it makes me VERY nervous.

In truth, I think he’s a nice guy. I wish all politicians had his humor and candor. But I don’t happen to agree with him when it comes to religion and goverment. That by itself is ok and I still like him. But I don’t want him pressing for laws that I don’t agree have a place in a Democracy. Then we become a theocracy and that is NEVER good. No better than socialism, which is another fight we are going to have to endure.

I’m just not into extremes. I am moderate and I pretty much want government the hell out of my life and everyone else’s.

WE DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE OBAMA AS PRESIDENT

2012 Obama Resistance Movement:

#1 We do not acknowledge Barack Husein Obama as President of the United States. [Never refer to him as president because he is not fit to serve this great nation.

He is not even a natural born U.S. Citizen, as is required to hold office of the presidency.]

PERIOD. END OF STORY.

They are going to have to expand camp Ex-Ray.

Thank you for articulating the shitstorm that has been swirling around in my brain this week

Now THAT’s funny!

She seemed very fair and tolerant in her positions and attitude towards others, as Hillary did; and she was brave in the face of instant and violent ugliness, as Hillary was; and she stayed an honorable course, whether it was one we would have picked, as Hillary did. Thus I can easily support Sarah, because I think she has presidential character, and if that isn’t there, what good is experience?
There has been an attrition in the number of people who thought Hillary’s course was honorable. I am trying to keep the faith that in view of all she has put up with in her life, and yet was able to keep plugging against opposition, there must be some really compelling reason to make her act as she has since June, and it isn’t a nice one.
In my opinion, women bash each other due to some competition for recognition by an authority. This is the problem. Not thinking that they could be the authority themselves, and be benevolent ones who could grow associates instead of kick them off the ladder.

I must be speaking in a foreign language today. I was talking about the internal McCain woman who trashed Palin! Good God, Rain, I just put my blood into this piece defending Sarah!

Yes, my husband and I have some repair work to do. It bothers me when he delights in, in his quiet way, the unfair attacks. But I have a feeling I’ll have the last laugh eventually.

Uppity, I just love you right now, I really do. Bless you for this post. I mean, really, I read stuff trashing Hillary yesterday and I thought, as a feminist, I respect another woman’s right to make her own choices. And as all women know, sometimes our choices royally suck. But we each do the best we can. And that is just what Hillary did. And part of the reason she has made the choices she had and so she can continue to be an advocate for us in the Senate. Some thanks she’s getting…

After some stuff I read yesterday trashing her, I was like – am I supposed to still respect her. So I am so grateful to you for cutting right through the BS and setting me straight. My heart feels better now.

Let’s blame caucus fraud, Acorn election fraud, the people who voted for Obama – including Repubs who voted for him in the primaries to keep the contest going, the DNC, the media, AAs who voted based on skin color not qualifications… I mean, God bless PUMAs – we have stood up for women’s rights and for our country and I am proud of us. And we’re not ‘gone’. We never gave up and we’re never going to give up.

It’s been a few days. Maybe it’s time for me to come out of my dark mood, start watching the news again and start writing letters to protest what’s happening to Sarah Palin. I can’t hide behind a rock forever.

Just a little while ago, I had a very disturbing conversation with a “friend” today. I hadn’t returned her calls since she started trashing Palin nearly 2 months ago. But she called today and even though I told her it would be better if we didn’t discuss politics, she couldn’t resist talking about that “awful, white-trash woman” and “that horrible baby”. I don’t personally know any man who would say such hateful, ugly things. She’s not only a disgrace to women but to humankind.

My fiancee voted for Obama. He doesn’t even get it that the attacks are unfair, has seen no sexism this election season, and believes the media to be objective and unbiased. I am not making this up!

What I focus on is that he respects me and respects women but just has total blinders on politically.

What is wrong with this ‘friend’? Another sore ‘winner’. What she said about that baby is horrific, it’s a sweet Down Syndrome baby. And what an unfounded attack on a very fine candidate. Sorry you had to hear that.

This is a brilliant comment.

Actually, I’ve been much more upset with some of my fellow women lately. We know there are enlightened men — we voted for one.

The attack on the baby was especially offensive — this “friend” is well aware that I take care of my handicapped brother who was born with cerebral palsy. That makes her remark particularly perverted.

I got her back though — nothing I can repeat here.

Uppity, Huckabee is not a nice guy — he just plays one on tv.

Excellent post, Uppity. The Goddess is smiling at you. And I among others
thank you.

One of the things we as women have to do is accept the decisions other women make when it is a matter of principle. Clinton is a Democrat, she is a Democratic Senator, and a former First Lady of a Democratic President. She held firm to her Democratic Principles, and what they have stood for. She campaigned for the Democratic nominee of her party, I’m sure it was hard, but she held fast to HER principles. She also campaigned for Democrats down ticket. We don’t have to understand her principles, we should RESPECT the fact she held on to her principles and stop blaming her because she didn’t hold on to the principles we THOUGHT she should have.

I for one am thankful for the work (blood) that you put into this piece Uppity. It is powerful and truthful, absolutely a must for all women to read. I have printed it and plastered it on my living room wall! I hope that doesn’t break any copyright laws!

I blame Hillary. You guys instantly switched parties when Barak got the nomination. Why didn’t she? Self preservation?

I’m no fan of Palin, but even I found the story of preganancy (and the decisions surrounding it) to be inspiring.

Doubly so for the second set of decisions around her daughter’s pregnancy.

Yeah he did really nasty attacks on the Clintons back in Arkansas.

I agree with part of your comment. Blame the people who voted for Obama. I mean, people did vote for him…in droves…so there is plenty of blame/credit to go around.

This is so true:

In a thread overnight — several of us decoded the word “experience” as meaning “penis”.

The sexist pig wrote that the next GOP candidate Someone “like” Palin but with “more experience”. CLEARLY “experience” is a code word for penis.

That’s a no brainer

McCain lost because the repubs did not come out to vote for him in the numbers they came out to vote for Bush in 2004. Their religious base showed up at about the same numbers. The economic base and the foreign affairs base dropped the ball by about 8 million less votes. By staying home, the fools took down some senators too. Dummies!!

That, plus he should have photos of the two women killed by Wayne Dumond hung around his neck and have to wear them as badges of shame for the rest of his life. It is a measure of how little the media and politicians think of women that this never really became an issue in the campaign.

She’s sitting in the senate as a member of a party. None of us fall into that category. See how much she would get done for her state if she tried that stunt. See how quick her Ex Party spends multitudinous millions to give her a primary ala Barack Obama-slime-style and see how well that works out for her.

I am so very sorry — I was confused with the unreferenced SHE — my husband complains all the time that I use unreferenced pronouns and he doesn’t know what the hell I’m talking about.

That’s why I questioned the “she” — which she? If I was confused — others were also confused.

Your essay should be collected for a book on essays from the ‘net about this election.

Women took a major beating — and unfortunately the majority have no idea that they are going to suffer — from lost job opportunities, decreases in salary and most important DISRESPECT.

Yes, if she had stood with her principles, she would have paid a political price. I agree. She picked career over country, which makes her just like every other politician.

Several of my female co-workers and I feel absolutely shell-shocked over this election, and our recovery is being stalled by the never-ending, preposterous attacks on Palin. I don’t know whether Ogreman and his ilk are trying to keep people too busy to notice Bobo’s gaffes du jour, his failute to produce a hard-copy birth certificate, or his gangsterish administration picks, but their attacks on Sarah are outright LIES, and the media is treating them as little more than a joke! And I also ask: why doesn’t McCain step forward to defend her? I’m not sorry I voted for him, since anyone but Satan would have been better than Bobo. But it just adds to the feeling of unreality that this election has left me in.

You know i have never blamed one woman for this loss. Not even michelle obama who at times i want to smack, but then remember she was probably obama’s first Koolaid victum. Hell I even give condi rice free paces. Which is why I’m so shocked when i see toehr women attack women. I just read some where that Palins towell rumour is false. Honestly they all are. Commons sense would tell any one that. Palin is not going to run to Neman Marcus and run up other peoples credit card. The woman sold a private jett for Christ sakes, and traveled on a commerical flight while pregnant. Ohh yeah, and the rampages she supposidly goes on? The woman showed aboslutely no emotional responses to some of the most depraved attacks I have ever seen. She is grace under fire. I would go off long before she did (cause believe it or not i’m cool if you bully me, i just can’t watch you do it to another pereson). and there’s no way in hell, Palin is stupid. What you have is either Obama’s staff spreading rumous out of revenge for that supposed “sarah” letter or you have john mccains own inept aids trying to blame sarah when they know they should have squashed obama when they had him on his back in September.

I’m a nurse and nurses stil l make considerably less than doctors because women will not stand up for each other. RN’s think they are better than LPN’s, BSN think they are better than ADN’s it’s rediculous. TO this day Nursing is still not considered a Profession, which i love to smear in their faces when they get haughty. The only way you will know that i am an BSN or an RN is if my grandmother tells you other wise I go to work do my job, I treat my older LPN and CNA staff like goddesses. And treat my LPN”s and RN’s the same. If an LPN charge nurse makes a decision i don’t allow the staff to pull me into bull and go over her head she’s in charge not me. If my CNA’s tell me something about a patient i listen. When I work the floor i have 35-38 patients I treat them like my eyes and ears. And while the AMA may have the same infighting when it’s time to go to battle you would never know it. Imagine what this election might have been like if women like Sandra Bernhart and Modonna have kept their mouths shut at best. Modonna is a working mom herself. And despite her antics i have never once, publicly stated i didn’t think the queen of raunch was not a good mother. In years to come will be sure to slam her with glee. Let along protect her when the Southern Baptist around me are damning her to firery pits of hell. “you know who’s not going to come to Jesus’ party? Moddona!” My own mother’s name is Sarah, she just has a bachelors degree, reads her bible ever night before bed, goes to church every saturday,and i trust her judgement over obama’s and joe biden anyday. Go fig. Women need to wake the hell up after this election. i do not want to hear one woman especially a democratic one talk about how men oppress women. We had two shots to make history and we blew it to run after a black man with no damn experience. Screw them! Screw women in other countries if you can’t do right by the ones here shut the hell up! women are subservant because they choose to be.

Ps. I have a sugestion for Bab’s Change the name of The View to “Biased B*tching” Joy Beyhar is officially the person on the view i most want to slap.

All the Hillary and Sarah bashing done by the MSM, so-called feminists and their respective political parties has been reported world-wide. Therefore, how can we as a Nation have the audacity (in the world’s view) to try to promote womens’ rights in other countries.

The MSM, so-called feminists and politicians are to be ashamed – they have set womens’ rights back 100 years.

Good point!

Margaret,

I hope you’re right. Anyone who is that blind not to have seen the rampant, in your face sexism, being spewed all over the place is really hard to believe.

We believe AA’s when they say someone is being racist, so, doesn’t it stand to reason that since you are a woman, whether he saw it or not, he should at least believe you when you say there was sexism throughout the election season?

I get tired of men lumping all women into the same category as “sexual objects” put here for their entertainment alone!

As bad as you think you have it, I bet you’d never change places with a woman and live with the unfettored injustices they receive on a daily basis, now would you?

Easy to attack her than to recognize that she had no choice!

You really believe any woman could take on the patriarchy alone and succeed? If Hillary had the kind of power you obviously expected her to have, then she would have won the nomination and the election.

Stop blaming the woman and put the blame where it belongs…with the patriarchy that annointed BO back in 2004.
