The Four Stages of Conservative Female Abuse
My syndicated column today takes a broader view of those suffering from Palin Derangement Syndrome and assesses the longtime signs and symptoms of progressive Conservative Female Abuse by the Left. Yes, I speak from personal experience. Been there, done that. See also: Unhinged. See-Dubya blogged over the weekend about the Palin-haters’ fake bikini photo mania. Again: Been there, done that. Now, those fake photos of the governor are spreading like kudzu. See here, here, and here. It’s all coming soon to a Democrat rag-masquerading-as-a-tabloid or a Democrat tabloid-masquerading-as-a-manstream newspaper near you.

The Four Stages of Conservative Female Abuse
by Michelle Malkin
Creators Syndicate
Copyright 2008
There’s something about outspoken conservative women that drives the Left mad. It’s a peculiar pathology I’ve reported on for more than 15 years, both as a witness and a target. Thus, the onset of Palin Derangement Syndrome in the media, Democrat circles, and the cesspools of the blogosphere came as no surprise. They just can’t help themselves.
Liberals hold a special animus for constituencies they deem traitors. Minorities who identify as social and economic conservatives have left the plantation and sold out their people. Women who put an “R” by their name have abandoned their ovaries and betrayed their gender. As Republican officeholders and conservative public figures who are women have grown in number and visibility, the progression of Conservative Female Abuse has worsened. The astonishing vitriol and virulent hatred directed at GOP Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is the most severe manifestation to date.
The first stage of Conservative Female Abuse by the Left is infantilization. Right-wing women can’t possibly believe what they believe about the sanctity of life, self-defense, free markets, or foreign policy. They must be submissive little dolls of the White Male Hierarchy. Or, as a far Left (is there any other kind of Left in San Francisco?) San Francisco Chronicle columnist wrote of First Lady Laura Bush, they must be put in their place as “docile doormats” with no brains of their own. True to form, no sooner had John McCain announced Gov. Palin as his veep pick than jeers of “Palin = neocon puppet” sprouted across the Internet.
The second stage of CFA is sexualization. A conservative woman is not merely a sellout. She is an intellectual prostitute. Unable or unwilling to argue with them on the merits, detractors resort to mocking the physical appearance of their ideological opponents in skirts and denigrating them with vulgar epithets. MSNBC hosts insulted former GOP presidential candidate Fred Thompson’s accomplished wife and mother of two, Jeri Thompson, as working the stripper pole. Newspaper cartoonists Ted Rall, Pat Oliphant, and Jeff Danziger caricatured Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice as a mammy, thick-lipped parrot, and Bush “House Nigga” armed with “hair straightener.” New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd derided former GOP Florida secretary of state Katherine Harris for applying “her makeup with a trowel.”
True to form, Dowd was first out of the box to snicker at Gov. Palin’s beauty pageant past, ridicule her “beehive and sexy shoes,” and compare her path to the vice presidential nomination as a “hokey chick flick.” Joe Biden backhandedly praised her as “good looking.” And left-wing bloggers worked overtime on lurid photoshops of Palin as a bikini model and porn star. At the Democratic Underground, a highly trafficked liberal website raising money for Barack Obama, members held a contest to come up with nicknames and posters to slime GOP Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin — and then to “spread [them] all over the ‘net.” Among the “nicer” entries: “Cruella,” “Gidget,” “Governor Jesus Camp,” “VPILF,” “Fertilla the Huntress,” “Iditabroad,” and “KILLER PYSCHO FUNDIE BITCH FROM HELL!!”
The third stage of CFA is demonization. When the Left tires of hurling whore insults, it turns conservative women in the public eye into nefarious creatures. Bill Maher called Laura Bush “Hitler’s dog.” George Carlin attacked Barbara Bush as “the Silver douchebag.” A Huffington Post website member wrote of Nancy Reagan: “Like her evil husband, she has lived far too long. Here’s hoping the hag suffers for several weeks, then croaks in the tub.” Another added: “I feel no pity for the bitch who took delight in watching thousands die of a horrible disease and watching the poor having to eat out of dumpsters because of her husband’s political beliefs.”
True to form, rumors of Palin being a crypto-Nazi surfaced on the Internet and the fringe media. And liberal critics used her gun-rights record to smear her as bloodthirsty.
And the final stage of CFA is dehumanization. Conservative women aren’t real women according to the liberal feminist establishment’s definition. Remember when Gloria Steinem called Texas Republican Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison a “female impersonator?” Or when curdled NOW leader Patricia Ireland instructed Democrats to vote only for “authentic” female political candidates? Or when Al Gore’s fashion consultant Naomi Wolf described the foreign-policy analysis of Jeane Kirkpatrick as being “uninflected by the experiences of the female body?”
Echoing the bottom-feeders in the liberal blogosphere, mainstream journalists and Obama water-carriers now question Palin’s commitment to motherhood and even challenged her pre-natal care decisions in an effort to destroy her. Forget about questioning their patriotism. I question their sanity.

Notice how easy for all forms of media to bring up the gender ‘stuff’.
I wonder what % of people will be voting for McCain/Palin because Palin is a woman v.s. the % of people voting for Obama/Biden because Obama is (part) black.
I hope Palin’s speech begins to put an end to this mess.
Off Topic:
If running a campaign is considered executive experience for the Dems, why aren’t they running Karl Rove for president?
An excellent column, Michelle. Love the analysis. Just one quibble:
Disagree. An insane person by definition has no control over the anti-social behaviors he or she exhibits; that’s why they’re “not guilty” by reason of mental defect.
The people Michelle describes know exactly what they’re doing. They’re not insane. They’re malevolent. It’s a distinction with an important difference.
I heard a female Dem on F&F say that if Palin’s speech is good, the MSM will leave her along. I’m afraid it’s not going to happen. Please feel free to attack her positions on the issues. The very personal attacks, including those on her daughter,need to stop.
I found a definition of a liberal Democrat that was foretold 2000 years ago:
Actually, it applies to more than just the libs but they do personify it so well.
Identity politics at its best. Wonder who black women are supposed to vote for? Rhetorical question. Everybody is supposed to vote for The Obama.
b-cat,
Not me. My sister and my mother, for sure. But not me.
I see a flock of pigeons flew in to poop and leave..
(lgm, bemused lib, redstate skeptic)
I think a strong conservative woman SCARES them.. and they can’t stick around to defend their arguments.. or lack there off..
flak, target.
I’m going to have to disagree with you Regulus, I believe Michelle is correct in questioning their sanity.
Albert Einstein once said “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”.
The leftists keep doing the same stupid things over and over and over and they wonder why it keeps blowing up in their face.
And personally I do question their patriotism, especially the
moronmoveon.org and A.N.S.W.E.R. crowdsA reference to the last days. Ominous, no?
Not if one is prepared…
Never any doubt about ya, 30!
There is search button on this site so please provide linked examples.
Well, if this is the case you will have no trouble proividing us with links of Hillary and Nancy photoshopped into porn.
The McCain is releasing a memo, a new ad and also having a press conference today addressing some more stupid lies. Someone is actually accusing Sarah of being a “Nazi sympathizer”. I’m pretty sure Megyn Kelly said Leiberman is going to take care of that little story. hey, aj, I know you’re making googly eyes at Megyn right now.
That pretty much sums up Mr. Hope and Change’s speech, doesn’t it?
You’re joking, right? Not ONE person has been able to elaborate on just what achievements Obama has to his credit. Not one.
A brilliant record of achievement? Now THAT’s funny!
Obviously not. But that’s not what’s under the microscope now. It’s the right wing that’s pushing this spin now in an attempt to deligitimize criticism of her resume, her cronyism, etc.

Not an issue. Or not sexist, anyway — anti-hunters probably don’t like Cheney either
Attacked because they weren’t
I was unclear on this, and I apologize — in the contect of Obama being called an “undeserving affirmative action baby” I was pointing out 1) there is no reason to believe that he was given anything and 2) Whether or not he caught a break he has certainly rewarded those who took a chance on him by becoming President of the Harvard Law Review, a law lecturer (offered tenure) at one of the most prestigious law schools in the country; a state legislator, a U.S. Senator and the Democratic nominee for president — all while black. Not getting into the argument over whether that qualifies him to be president, but if you were an admissions officer — or a parent — and you took a chance on/raised a kid like that, you’d have a right to be pretty damn pleased.
That will change when we have a filibuster-proof Senate. And I’m down with rich people. As long as they pay taxes at the same rate as the middle class.
And m ost of the people Michelle linked to are fringe web sites. The MSM is more or less-even-handed, especially once the Murdoch empire weighs in. I’ll bet the Governor gives a fine speech tonight. Lots of red meat working mom and media-bashing.
And he was right — it’s in your heart, not what’s on your lapel that counts. But that wasn’t enough for the haters.
The bias of a small handful of on-line extremists. M
I refer to her as “Governor Palin.” I suggest that the “executive experience” argument made by the McCain campaign (who is writing her speech for her — sexist, much?) is a canard, applicable if one were applying for an office manager position but grotesquley inadequate — on its own — if one wishes to be president or vice president.
Not even Obama!
Nazi sympathizer? So, throwing wild accusations out at the GOP VP pick is ok, but questioning a known relationship between the DNC’s presidential candidate and a domestic terrorist is out of bounds. What is our press coming to? They’re turning into the politburo for the Democratic Party.
BemusedLib vainly attempted to organize his thoughts, then wrote:
Not the argument. The argument is that libs and their MSM fellow travellers cannot stand, and try to beat down through vicious mis-characterization, racist attack, and innuendo, any conservative women who holds or seeks high office.
I know it quickly tires your lips, but try reading the article.
But you didn’t nominate her. “You” nominated the guy. That’s why “they” bleat about the glass ceiling, remember?
She is? Can you offer any examples where she has actually exercised that supposed power of hers to achieve anything? What has she DONE with her supposed power?
30 pcs, sure hope you are voting ‘issues over gender’…oops, there I go again, speaking my mind….
Nazi is an abbreviation of an impossibly long German word. It stands for National Socialist German Workers Party. A left wing organization turned into a personal instrument for Hitler. How exactly that becomes property of the right, I don’t know.
Navy,
and which hot blooded American male wouldn’t???

Yeah, it’ll be 2%
25% it is, then. And not the 40% Obama wants the most productive class in society to pay.
Why confiscating money from the investor class and giving it in the form of welfare to the smokes-and-lottery-tickets class is supposed to be good for the economy I’ll never understand.
Another Great article Michelle. Maybe you can include this one as an addendum in your book “Unhinged II, The Wrath of Liberalism”

So, if she shows she is tough and smart, you’d be inclined to vote for her ticket, right? I mean given what you think about Hillary and San Fran Nan, you will give her a break, correct?
Somehow, I don’t think you will and only because she has a “R” behind her name.
Have no idea whether the poster was booted, but the post is still online! Google it. (Either way, who cares? There are dummies on both sides, and I don’t try to say because you have some uncouth racists you’re also wrong on school vouchers.)
Not by Maureen Dowd (who is a waste of time anyway, but that’s another story)
My side is not tabloids! My side is Barack Obama, and he has denounced the Palin innuendos and unequivocally called her family off limits. Don’t try to conflate two or three liberal bloggers (even Markos said he was offended by the posts on his site) with the Democratic party.
Democrats could have taught Goebbels a thing or two in dehumanizing the enemy. Look at how they’ve made women and the unborn subhumans.
Is “Bemused” a new synonym for “Deranged?”
You mean to tell me that the Do-Nothing house of Representatives, the documented worst session of congress in recorded history have been wasting our taxpayers time and money passing meaningless resolutions and ignoring the needs of the American people by failing to bring legislation to a vote and refusing to debate issues of vital national importance because the senate isn’t “filibuster proof”?
Have another sip of Kool-Aid.
They raised a good kid. Good for them. Something that they should be proud of.
How does this qualify him to be president? That’s the question lots of people here are asking. What has he achieved? Why is comparing himself to the vice presidential candidate?
Hey b-cat, I get what you are saying but it’s more like it’s ‘property’ of the left since they seem to use it whenever they want to,..eh?
Without a doubt.
What a woman!
Hear that guys? The daily kos, US magazine, ABC and all the rest are now right wingers spining.
And you still didn’t list his acheivements execpt running a college law review. So what?
Did you happen to check out the link that 30 put on her post? Those don’t look like extremist sites to me.
I guess he doesn’t subscribe to that anymore, considering he now wears a flag pin. Way to stand for your principles.
That Canadian Pipeline deal Sarah Palin negotiated will result in more jobs, more economic development, and improve more people’s lives than Obama did in ten years of community organizing or any of his 130 votes “present” in the Illinois senate.
As I said, I’m not getting into that here (for the record: because I think he’s right on the issues, because I think he’s a smart guy and because I think he can lead America in a driection in which I would like to see it go). I just find the affirmative action accusations offensive, and a apt paralell to the attacks on Palin’s experience.
Apparently, Palin actually had the nerve to wear a “Pat Buchannan” pin when he campaigned in her town. Oh, the horror!
I’d say the Left delegitmized itself permanently with the “it’s not her baby” smear last weekend.
The Left is comprised of misguided, delusional people who are twisted up by their own hate and anger.
Expressing that much vitriol has got to negatively impact them.
I pray they ask God for forgiveness and for peace. They need it.
Maureen Dowd has bitter down to a science.
BTW, regarding certain Democrats denial that the Kos crowd speaks for their party: one picture is worth a thousand words.
They don’t have principles. They have positions of the moment. If you stand for something, you may have to defend your ground. Something the left is loathe to do.
You won’t get into Obama’s achievements because you can’t. They do not exist.
It’s 1898, Randolph Hearst is alive, and yellow journalism is flourishing.
You saw it with Senator Hillary Clinton during the Democrat Primary, and now you’re seeing it with Governor Sarah Palin in the General Election.
It is apparent by the conduct of the American Media, that it will do everything in its power by any means necessary, to prevent a Woman from being elected to Executive high office in the United States.
In addition, the American Media has fully utilized its leverage and influence with the objective to elect Senator Barak Obama President of the United States, and is working in concert with the Obama Campaign to affect that goal.
Any Intelligence Analyst would derive, from the data, the same conclusions.
Only one question remains:
Will the American Media elect the President in 2008?
How soon you have forgotten…why she pushed thru a recess resolution, turned off the lights and cameras and went on a book tour. She sure does have power!!
/Sarc
BTW 69 years ago today, the nazis invaded poland. The start of the most destructive war in history. This was a direct result of the same policies as Obama supports.
What? Socialism? Appeasement of terrorists? Do tell.
Obama will destroy America. Sad that you’re so excited about the prospect.
Their heads are exploding!
It’s Killin em and

Image: lefties having a run on Duct Tape to mend thick skulls.
Cool! Then the rich will finally get that Tax Cut the libs say they got in 2003.
You left out infanticide… which seems to be the only issue Obama took a strong stand on (in favor of) while in the Illinois senate.
Which direction is that? Higher taxes, infanticide on demand, submitting to the whims of dictators, Socialism?
I don’t know the whole story behind that so I’m not going to comment.
We can’t talk about a given candidate’s experience and how it relates to what they could do if elected to highter office?
Mere lip-service from the One – a move to retain his halo by keeping his own hands clean from the mudslinging which, according to Dick Morris on last night’s H&C, is emanating from Obama’s minions. The attacks on Sarah Palin are an act of desperation on the part Democrats. They are scared of Palin because she is the phenotype of female they purport to represent but don’t, and are now unsure as to which approach to assume in opposing her candidacy without exposing their hypocracy.
OT
Fox is reporting Governor Palin’s SSN has been stolen.
Socky, did you hack my computer?
First of all, I take offense when you say “we” have some uncouth racists. How about your side? When racial slurs are lobbed against MM, do you complain on those websites? You don’t even have to go to Google to find those. MM was nice enough to post links for you. By the way, just because it’s still on Google, doesn’t mean those of us here or MM condone it. You can’t even tell us who said it and whether they are still a poster. As a matter of fact, I think we’ve had two mistriants booted off the last couple days for bad behavior and they’re posts are probably still on Google too.
M
I lump you in because all you seem to be doing is making excuses for what’s going on and comparing them, with very weak arguments, as if to say it’s all ok. I’ve heard one or two Dems, Kirsten Powers, for instance, condemn this. She’s disgusted, just as we are. The problem is that the MSM is taking these bloggers seriously and repeating the info as if it were factual and newsworthy. They are not doing their jobs!
I commended Obama for finally coming out and making a statement regarding her family. Remember, these rumors started sometime Saturday and Obama, I believe, made a statement Monday. That wasn’t quick enough in my opinion.
and the fascist LEFT gave us :
B. H_U_S_S_E_I_N O. >>>>
Yeah, but Obama will still take donations from those bottom-dwellers and show up at KOS conventions. It was a classy statement, but actions speak louder than words.
As I said in another post – it’s clear how people like me will be treated if Obama wins. I consider that a violation of the Constitution and Declaration of Independence and will fight the Obama administration with every fiber of my being.
I said it once and I’ll say it again. The left is totally PO’d because the Republicans are saying ‘two can play at the identity politics game’ and get a woman in there. The media and the leftists only wanted glorious black man Obama versus those evil nasty white males. Now they have to contend with a woman who may take a lot of votes away from Obama merely because she’s a woman. Because that’s what a large portion of Obama supporters are; identity-politic idiots.
She really needs Lifelock now.
Exactly right! Anyone who denies this will be the outcome of an B. Hussein Obama presidency either does not know what he stands for, or is in a state of determined ignorance.
BemusedLib
Your thinking and responses are just another example of convoluted dialectic detergency. I won’t even attempt responding, because it’s a wast of time. You will never understand that conservatives admire in Palin her strength of convictions with our values. The political dog and pony shows are designed for the less mentally equipped and not for most of the people on this blog.
I think Pfizer is working on a medication for that.
Y’all please spare me. Rush Limbaugh called Chelsea Clinton the “white house dog,” and John McCain said Clelsea was so ugly because her father was Janet Reno. That’s not a remote connection, that IS the Republican Party.
For a minute there, I thought she had a nuclear submarine. Sucks to have that stolen!
RedStateSkeptic, How is this for a “remote” connection between BO and Kos.
What they don’t understand is that most of the conservative base is not freaking out that Palin’s daughter is pregnant. Most of us understand that you can raise your kids to the best of your ability, you can teach them abstinence, but guess what? The kids have free will and make their own choices. I don’t see Bristol’s pregnancy as proof that abstinence ed doesn’t work. I don’t automatically assume that birth control was not used. The left’s argument is “see, here daughter didn’t use birth control because of abstinence ed and now look!!”
Well, my husband and his brother and sister were taught abstinence by their parents. My sister-in-law was pregnant and unmarried when she was 19. She DID use birth control. It failed. It happens. Life happens. My brother-in-law and my husband were both virgins on their wedding days. So, 2/3 success rate. Not bad.
Talk kids in any high school. Find out how many have been pregnant and/or have STD’s after their birth control ed. The odds are the percentage will be pretty high.
The left’s argument is weak, in my opinion.
Like, the toilet?
I meant to add to the end of the above post~Education is education~the success rate of such ed. is dependent on what the students do with it. The educator (or the parent) doesn’t really have control over what the student (or child) does with it after the fact.
I do understand that. That’s why I find the experience argument (and the huntress — I don’t like the name-calling, but I have to admit that Caribou Barbie was pretty funny — and the “small town girl” etc arguments) specious. It’s abouyt her values and policies, which you like and I don’t.
But, morte importantly, what the heck is “convoluted dialectic detergency?” Is that how Hegel did his dishes, or Plato washed his toga?
This piece is another homerun, Michelle. My heart is broken by the depravity of these people and their bloodthirsty efforts.
If poor Bristol and Levi are going to be hounded by paparazzi nonstop for the next four months, I have real fear that the quest to disrupt the GOP ticket and get Sarah to drop out may just work.

It goes back even further than that. Isaiah was written about 2700 years ago.
Isaiah (5:20-21) said:
What is more just than defending a woman’s right to kill her child, even if you have to dump them in the soiled linens until they die like they were supposed to?

As Jeremiah Wright would say:
I guess you forgot the part where SNL made fun of her looks too? Not exactly a bastion of Conservative Repub. over there. Rush apologized directly to Hillary, even though he says it really was a misunderstanding. As usual, you cannot denounce what is being done to Palin and her daughter can you? How in the world does superimposing her into Porn pics, referring to her body parts in an insulting sexual way, or accusing her of pretending to have her daughter’s baby even compare to being called a dog or ugly. Seriously.
Wasn’t aware of the McCain statement, so where’s the link?
Lets not forget about when they made fun of Rices boots and brought up that she looked like a dominatrix.
Barack Obama spoke at a debate hosted by a website where one blogger made accusations about Bristol Palin (but where the man behind the blog condemned the accusations).
John McCain, the Republican nominee for President of the United States, said Chelsea Clinton was so ugly because Janet Reno was her father.
This is the same thing they did to Michael Steele.
It is patently obvious that this is a concerted effort by the liberal left to get Palin to quit. Interesting that the MSM is out there asking the Campaign when she is going to drop out. Since this information isn’t coming from the right, it is a pretty safe bet it is part of the left’s campaign.
As far as Obama’s lofty admonition to “back off”, it is apparent that these are “just words”. I fail to see how anyone exercising even a modicum of logic and reason can fail to reach the conclusion that this smear campaign is comming from within Obama’s camp. The attacks are SO partisan, SO outrageous, SO biased and SO coodinated, there can be no other conclusion. Obama is the only one that benefits from this.
And for those unaware of Obama’s prior campaigns, this is precisely the same tactic that knocked out his Senate competition. He claimed he had nothing to do with Ryan’s sealed divorce records being opened, nor anything to do with the records of another one of his rivals seeing the light of day during a heated campaign. You may dismiss this happening once as coincidence, but unfortunately for Obama, it is a pattern that has persisted over and over again in his run for political office.
Dirty tricks for a dirty politician. Interesting that he can’t seem to win much of anything without a well coordinated smear campaign. Speaks volumes about the substance of the man behind that carefully managed facade.
Spot on…Amen!
This is what I find ironic. Up until now, the left was trumpeting Obama’s experience as a state senator, a community organizer, US senator, and a candidate. Now that Palin is on the scene, all of a sudden, experience is no longer an issue. Riiiiight.
When? Where?
After, pictures came out to prove him otherwise. How long did that take. How many days did Mr. Kos allow them to spout off this crap? Wait they’re still doing it! He’s created a monster and it serves him right. I hope it’s his undoing.
I just have one more question for you two lib trolls:
Do you agree with the tactics being used against Sarah Palin? Do you think the MSM would be asking any man running for VP if his children are going to suffer because he’ll be so busy. Then does that make him a bad father? Should her daughter be a part of this campaign?
Redstate, that picture was taken after the owner of DailyKos responded to the deaths of four Americans in Iraq with the words “Screw ‘em!”
About which the candidate has said nothing but “Thank you for your support.”
Great column, Michelle. I agree–now it’s a matter of sanity!
Some talking-head biznatch on CBS wouldn’t even let Rudy Guiliani speak this morning on TV–she asked him a question regarding Palin, then wouldn’t let him answer completely. Filth.
I hope Palin BRINGS IT tonight.
BemusedLib
Look it up!
there you go Jimbo
I question their sanity too and in a REAL conservative world we would have more insane asylums for these frothing at the mouth DOGS.
I denounce it. Now let’s hear Michelle Malkin or any conservative blogger, TV guy or talk radio host denounce smears calling Barack Obama a madrassa-educated jihadist.
Are you serious? Google it, and google “mccain ape rape joke” while you’re at it. If you aren’t aware of this, I think that proves how biased the “liberal media” is that most of the country doesn’t know that the man on the verge of leading the free world is such a well-documented asshole.
Its telling that none of the dyed-in-the-wool feminist groups (think NOW) has not condemned the MSM attacks on Sarah Palin. When they lose the philosophical argument and have nothing of substance to say they resort to personal attacks.
This weaks pathetic attempt to draw the attention away from the Poor showing of Obama at Saddleback followed by a poor weak pick for his VP then a poor choice in his first statement after McCain announced Palin as VP is digging the Dem camp deeper and deeper into the abyss.
It’s Killin em and

Image: Dem ship sinking faster than the Titanic.
The Left is nothing short of beastial. They present themselves an enemy of the Republic. I really question their humanity.
I’ll denounce that myself. Although you do know he did attend a madrassa. I don’t think he’s a jihadist and I doubt MM does either. I have no idea who called him that, so I’d like to know exactly who did personally. Most of us think Michael Savage is a nut, so if it was him… Besides, we can go back and forth all day long with this and it will get really boring quick.
Actually, I am. I like links and since you’re the one making the accusation, you should provide it. Do you have stock in Google? While you’re at it, why don’t you put in the words, Michelle Malkin ping pong, and see what comes up. Please don’t try to claim the high ground. BTW, this stupid joke you’re talking about doesn’t prove the MSM isn’t biased. It proves that it’s not worth reporting, otherwise they would have.
And one your VP candidate said he would be proud to run with or vote for.
Seems like you’re getting a little angry.
Most of the above comments are excellent. I really like Trollman’s comments (170)–the biblical references are dead on. God sees all.
We have many examples of strong women who did great jobs–Margaret Thatcher (research chemist before she became a politician), Joan of Arc (young girl who rose to lead her country / army against invaders), the Trang Sisters (Vietnam leaders against Chinese invaders), etc. Also the good Christian conservative web sites (MM, Laura, etc.)–they are fighting the battle for a better U.S.A now.
Class will show–I think Mrs. Palin has “the right stuff”–as we say in the rocket business.
Rocketman
No, up until now, McCain (and Hillary) were making experience a big issue. And Lieberman touched on it again last night. Obama was clearly on the defensive and responding with the best he had. Not, to some minds, enough, but not nothing either.
Questioning her record? Absolutely. Questioning her daughter? No.
I will say — and this wil be the only thing I will say on the subject — if Bristol choosing to keep her baby is being touted as an example of the family’s strong values, why is it wrong to hold up her getting pregnant in the first place as an example of weak family values? Both sides are exploiting a delicate situation.
In this situation, yes. And if it was a Democratic woman, the criticism would be many times more shrill.
No, it would just make him another politician that puts career ahead of family.
I would be happy never to hear of her again. And, believe me, so would the Obama campaign.
I did. I know what “convoluted” “dialectical” and “detergency” mean individually, bit nowhere in my experience or the world of Google have they ever been used together, in that order. Your creativity has confounded me and I await illumination.
Take back that Obama was educated in a madrassa? why? its a FACT….oh and for those idiots who think madrassa is an insult it is what SCHOOLS are called in the Arab world…..we just call them schools.
NEVER apologize for the truth even if it HURTS.
Funny how all of the links that popped up first for the ape joke were Huffpo and other lefty blogs. Besides the half-naked pics of women, the desecration of Star Wars music and the Obama contribution request, I didn’t get much out of it in the way of the actual joke.
You really need to read more carefully! I said MAN, democrat woman.
Because trashing a 17 year old girl for the sake of destroying her mother’s political career is sheer nastiness. And that’s all the left has to offer.
You must be so proud that the messiah of Hope and Change has to rely on such dirty tactics.
