Liberal men in a panic; Update: liberal women spinning, too
Scroll for updates…
Harry Reid is attacking Palin as “shrill.” Look under “gall” in the dictionary for a photo of Harry Reid.
The shrilliest of the shrill Democrat shills is calling Gov. Palin “shrill?”
They just can’t keep a lid on the chauvinism, can they?
Speaking of which, reader Mike G. e-mails after watching the flustered MSNBC jerks:
I decided to suffer through a few minutes of the gasbags on NBC and just as I tune in I hear Olbermann saying oh so sternly, “I have to wonder though, if the sarcasm was the proper tone.”
Right. Because only liberal men who are attacking conservatives are allowed to employ sarcasm in the service of Hope and Change.

Here you go:
Sen. Harry Reid isn’t about to back away from a fight, even with the VP pick. This response comes from Reid’s spokesman Jim Manley after Sarah Palin attacked the senator in her speech tonight:
“Anyone who knows Senator Reid knows he never backs down when he’s fighting for what’s right and that he always stands up to John McCain when he is wrong,” Reid’s spokesman said.
“Shrill and sarcastic political attacks may fire up the Republican base, but they don’t change the fact that a McCain-Palin administration would mean four more years of failed bush-Cheney policies.”
***
Update 12:55am Eastern. Oh, triple-crikey. Democrat Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (a mother of three herself who was profiled sympathetically in the old WaPo piece I blogged out a few days ago) is on CNN seriously arguing that nooooooo one on the Left has argued that Palin can’t juggle motherhood and the vice presidency at the same time.
Rep. Wasserman Schultz, meet Sally Quinn and Ed Schultz, etc., etc., etc.

Georgetown University professor Deborah Tannen, who has written best-selling books on gender differences, said she agrees with complaints that Palin skeptics — including prominent voices in the news media — have crossed a line by speculating about whether the Alaska governor is neglecting her family in pursuit of national office.
“What we’re dealing with now, there’s nothing subtle about it,” said Tannen. “We’re dealing with the assumption that child-rearing is the job of women and not men. Is it sexist? Yes.”

Thank God!
The Obama problem is the affirmative action problem. You can’t say Obama has no accomplishments because its an affront to affirmative action.
We all must remember that Hans Christian Andersen cleaned up his Emperor’s New Clothes story. What really happened to the little child who said the emperor was naked was too savage and too brutal to write down. To this day the emperor is still naked and little children have disappeared screaming for noticing.
Thus it is with the clean articulate and bright affirmative action candidate.
Amen to that.
Thank God!
opps; sorry double post
Sarah is phenomenal! She thoroughly trounced the disgraceful media sychophants and their concocted messiah — I could almost smell the aroma of “drive-by” carcasses at the end of her briliant speech. Love the fact that she smiles genuinely while she filets her opponents. This woman is a force to be reckoned with and a real role-model for women and men.
And as the sister of a Down Syndrome brother, I deeply appreciated her genuine commitment to making America a better place for special needs children. I will never forget the sweet image of Piper smoothing her baby brother’s hair while her mother was making history. I thought I was energized after her speech last week, but unbelievably, I am even more jazzed now. McCain-Palin ’08!
By the way, Mort Kondracke, I didn’t think it was possible to “outdo” yourself after your disgusting comments about Bristol Palin the other night…then you trot out the tired meme that Sarah didn’t write her speech. Good thing Brit was there to set both you and Nina Easton straight! Did you really think the public is gullible enough to believe politicians actually write their own speeches?
Thank God for C-SPAN. I have no idea why FOX didn’t deem Mitt Romney’s speech (and Huck’s) worthy of full coverage, but it was a bad call on their part to keep the talking heads (especially Alan Colmes)on the air, while prominent Republicans were firing up the crowd.
Oh, it should be “brilliant” in my earlier post. So excited I can’t type straight…lol!
Gloria Steinem? That fossil? The last time I saw her was at the beginning of Jurassic Park I. Sam Neill was digging her carcass out of the ground just before the scene with the androgynous fat kid.
Analysis: GOP contradicts self on Palin family By TED ANTHONY, AP National Writer
Wed Sep 3, 11:48 PM ET
This POS reporter doesn’t even see the stupidity of what he wrote — and the bias!
And now you know another reason why Yahoo News took down their comments section: BECAUSE THEY DON”T CARE WHAT WE THINK!!!
G-r-r-r-r-r!
I know, I know – click the link to real news – Debka.com…LOL
Rudy’s New York, in your face, attack dog with a southern oldtimie delivery was great.
I haven’t actually clicked over, but just from reading the “Buzzworthy” column, it appears Debbie Schlussel isn’t too happy with the choice of Sarah Palin. Oh well! I guess it proves there’s room for disagreement on our side. I respect Debbie for her intelligence and insight (especially in the arena of radical Islam), but she’s completely on the wrong side of this argument, IMHO.
Rudy was awesome….best speech I’ve ever seen him give!
Yeah, I read part of that Politico piece, until I got to this paragraph:
“… The mother of five — with one pregnant teenage daughter and an infant son with Down syndrome — has joined a parade of personalities from Anita Hill to O.J. Simpson to Monica Lewinsky to become a cultural flash point.”
And Politico is non-partisan… riiiight.
Now that the evil MSM is falling all over itself to give Governor Palin a series of big wet kisses, can we move past all the whining. Too bad if some in the media had the temerity to point out that the all-negative, all the time tone of last night might be covering up one of the GP{s major weaknesses (they’re wrong on all the issues) but apparently the kool-aid was only available on the floor, not the press box.
Palin proved that she is indeed a fine pit bull with lipstick, and she was eloquent in reminding us that John McCain was once a POW. She clearly got the base going. What she failed to do was make a compelling positive case for herself or her ticket based on actual issues.
PS: How much does Romney hate McCain to make a speech that bad? And, is anybody more in love with themselves than Giuliani? Huck was pretty good, though.
OXYMORON ALERT: “Liberal men”.
FACT: There are no “liberal” men. Real men are conservative.
I think it depends on who is writing the column with them. I found this article there that shows even Clinton aides are saying that the media’s treatment of Palin is sexist.
Compared to the MSM. Yes. I wouldn’t count on anybodies help. Were on our own.
.
We always are. And we are better for it.
*** Photoshop Request ***
How about a photoshop of Sarah next to an Obama bus with flat tires …
“taking the air out of the no=oil bus”
Sarah rocks … period …
Yesterday’s spin from DerangedLib (“She had it coming!”) is now replaced by today’s spin, (“What media attacks? Olbermann only called her a ‘Nazi skank’ off-mic.”)
Not all liberals were negative about Palin. I was watching Chris Wallace interview Mark Wolfson. It went something like this:
CW: You guys have a real problem on your hands
MW: You got that right, she kicked our butts.
CW: The jabs she took at Obama and Biden were masterful.
MW: Wow, awesome just awesome. She shredded those punks like cheese.
CW: Hey wait, we have you on here for the opposition opinion. You have to say something bad about Sarah Palin.
MW: Well I disagree with everything she says, but, she is awesome and she kicked our liberal little butts.
Your just mad because she so easily ripped apart Obama. Even your fawning MSM admits this. I kinda wish she was at the top of the ticket because she would have him um-ing and uh-ing during the presidential debates. She would show him to the country as the empty suit that he is.
Sorry that was Howard Wolfson not Mark Wolfson. I always call that guy Mark for some reason.
Looks like someone missed all the references to cutting taxes and increasing energy production. Not unexpected. BefuddledLib misses a lot.
You can catch him/her/it down at the Free Clinic pushing on the door marked PULL.

Hive-mind, stop talking in the omniscient. She failed to make a compelling positive case for you. She will never be able to do this for you, since (at this point at least) she is fundamentally opposed to collectivism.

Hive-mind is scared of individualism. Poor hive-mind.

McCain/Palin 08′
Daria and the other thoughtful women of Michelle Malkin’s blog, do you think most of the animus toward Sarah Palin comes from her being pro-life and both walking the walk and talking the talk? Do you think the feminist fossils like Gloria Steinem and Cecile Richards are attacking her because when she goes on stage with those adorable children, it’s a stark reminder of all the babies (40 million or so) that have been sucked into a sink in the name of feminism? Do you think they hate her for making it as a wife and a mother and a very successful politician, giving lie to the myths that leftist feminism depends on? e.g. If you get pregnant when you’re young, your life is over, so you have to have an abortion.
All of a sudden the left cares about the issues?
The site is vaporizing posts again.
Come back see-dubya!!!
I wonder how long it will be before they start calling her “hysterical”. Can “bitch” be far behind? What about “rawr!” as in a cat fight?
Please? Pretty, please? I hope they keep the sexism up. As Michelle said yesterday, they’ve awakened the sleeping giant of Republican and conservative women and to continue the analogy, our women are about to go Hiroshima and Nagasaki on their collective asses!
I’ve heard that her 08/6yn is a practicing paleontologist. Rock on Gloria.
BTW: 08/6 = OB/G
Who to vote for, the racists anti-American black guy and the doofus, or all American war hero, and his all American Conservative woman running mate. Tough choices, unless you know what country you live in.
Awesome speech!!!
Biden, evidently is walking point on the response. He was on the three network morning shows to “respond” immediately after they did their obligatory reports pointing out that she didn’t mention Afghanistan (WHAT???). Also, that she didn’t mention anything about the Bush administration, bla, bla, bla. Oh, and of course, he was too busy to watch the entire speech anyway (IDIOT/LIAR!!)…. I guess that’s the best the dems can do.
She nailed their liberal hides to the wall!!

Irony always escapes the collective. Issues, truth, ideas, values, facts, the past, the present – these are all mere tools to achieve the ultimate goal of destruction the individual.
No, just throwing everything in the kitchen at Sarah Palin in hopes that something will stick.
The criticisms of Obama stick because they had truth to them. Making up sh-t about Palin just doesn’t have the impact. Also, there’s a certain absurdity to the D Presidential nominee picking fights with the R VP nominee. What a brilliant demonstration of how little stature Obama has.
On September 4th, 2008 at 9:13 am, Socky said:
Well, I’m not female, but my take goes deeper. They hate Palin because they hate freedom for the individual. All the other reasons they cite and we may derive is smokescreen.
Yeah, the left is not real big on individualism except as a fashion statement.
Of course we care about issues, that’s why we’re liberals. If we were interested in flag lapel pins and bluster, we’d be on your side.
(Aside) hey — sonofdy. That McWhorter guy you quoted on Black Liberation Theology: all of the sudden he’s everywhere. A nice non-partisan piece on political speechmaking http://www.tnr.com/politics/story.html?id=01f466fc-0dc2-4053-aa2e-fbe2b4c51ca6, a modestly interesting take on Obama’s speech http://blogs.tnr.com/tnr/blogs/the_plank/archive/2008/08/29/mcwhorter-my-problems-with-the-speech.aspx and an appearance on The Colbert Report.
Interestingly, despite his distaste for BLT, he’s apparently decided that Obama was uninfected: he’s supporting Obama this fall./aside
Hopefully, this won’t post twice…it seemed to get hung up the first time I tried. I heard George Stuffanappleupyoura$$ this a.m. talking about the democrats’ reaction to Palin’s speech. He said, and I paraphrase, “They’re not sure how to take her. They are puzzled by her and puzzled by the intense reaction of the republicans to her.” O.K. That is the bottom line of all of this! The left wing democrats have so lost touch with “middle American” culture and values that they are left clueless! They really truly don’t get it! Their elitism has so taken over their thinking processes that the good old fashioned down-home folks who make up the entire center (And Alaska!!) of this country are like foreigners to them. We are going to squash them like bugs. Sarah Palin’s speech last night told the lefties…”You want to try and mess with us? YOu want to try and trash our families and our traditions? You want to take God away from this country? You want to keep vicitimhood as a way of controlling the masses? Well, BRING. IT. ON. Sarah Palin and her entire family epitomize what personal responsibility and toughness are all about. I am so pumped!
They do like individuality where it traditionally doesn’t fit, i.e. the military. But of course, that is in order to weaken the military.
Then he is a fool.
The party of “progressives” sure don’t seem very progressive. Palin can’t be taken serious because of her hairstlye being ’20 years’ out of date!
http://news.bostonherald.com/news/2008/view.bg?articleid=1116858
Where were the hair articles for Kerry in 2004, and Joe Biden this year? I also thought that fashions and styles rolled back into vogue every so often? No?
I bet Palin starts a whole new look for real American women. Feminine, fresh and sexy. Like our own MM, and my better-half! Not suggesting that any of our fine conservative females on this site are not sexy, if your hair is short; your view-points make you sexy.
Palin would be sexy even if she looked like (gulp) Helen Thomas (gag). Thank God, she does not!
1st Disclaimer: My idea of sexy does not apply to liberals. I have to wear the ‘Cabo Wabo’ goggles to even look at most liberal women, because the beer goggles don’t get it done.
2nd Disclaimer: No honey, I would not… I don’t own any goggles, cause I only have eyes for you! I was only trying to make a poin… I’m sorry… I have not even been looki… not the frying pan…sexy in a figurative sens…Owww, dang it!…
At the NYT blog, anyone want to play Spot the Moby.
You don’t go to a church for 22 years and remain “uninfected”. Gezzz, some people will buy anything.
It’s both about what she represents and how unapologetic she is about it all. She’s proud to be a mother, wife, governor, hunter, hockey mom, etc…. She’s super woman only better. I’m sure her family’s sacrifice was a tough load to bear at times but damn they look genuinely happy.
I think it gives them pause because their whole mantra is that you cannot be all of the things Sarah is and still be respected. Do they realize just how wrong they are – probably not. There’s nothing more stubborn than a mule, than an old mule.
Yes. She climbed the ladder without them and is poised to make history. Screw the glass ceiling.

Note, if you will dear reader, that hive-mind does not want to acknowledge that it has been called out.
Frightened, it uses the well-worn tactic of “issues.” It does not say what those “issues” are, which are designed, of course, to generate victory for the collective and destruction of the individual.
Like a squid, it squirts out a gooey hazy ink and swims away with an ineffective invective about flag lapel pins.
Swim hive-mind, swim!
Of course they care about issues. What they want are things like infanticide on demand, higher taxes, bigger government, less freedom, and socialism.
What they don’t want to talk about is experience. Don’t anyone mention that Obama has no experience. That topic is off limits.
Did you giggle a little bit while you were writing that, “Bemused”, because I got a huge laugh out it!
My, my, my… How fricken relevant is that?!?
Further amusement, check out the deranged comments under this cute vid of Piper Palin holding her baby brother. Here’s a sample:
Sorry, Socky. Too early in the
day month year decadecentury to look at the other Times.Then, possibly, you shouldn’t quote him in support of your arguments.
Given that the conservatives have combed through every word Rev. Wright published or uttered and found, what one? damning quote, it’s a pretty god bet that most Sundays were not devoted to political cant, but rather “normal” church stuff. Or that he’s not actually that radical after all.
I heard Biden on the TV this morning. All I can say is…
Jerkstore!
I’m goin’ with jerkstore!
Hivemind’s beloved candidate’s campaign instructs its volunteers not to talk about issues, but instead talk about “How they came to Obama.”
Said beloved candidate has also refused to debate McCain ten times, man-to-messiah, on the issues in a townhall forum.
BemusedLib: Okay lets talk issues. Attacks in Iraq are now down over 95% allowing a poltical solution to go forward. This was the plan since 2003. Now Obama and Biden opposed the surge that made this possiable, yet propose to do the same in Afganistan. What do you think it says about the when they oppose a tactic that was proven to work and yet support that same tactic at the same time?
The panic extends far beyond Team Obama. Today every state democrat party and every national democrat committee will be meeting to figure out what to do next.
Politics is a contact sport and sometimes candidates lob grenades. Last night Sarah and John McCain’s Republican Party launched ‘Shock and Awe’ against the whole democrat party.

Now hive-mind attempts to diminish the opposition by glossing over pertinent facts and history. Hive-mind uses this tactic often. It has proven effective in ensnaring others into its collective thought. Others too mentally weak or lazy to research history are always easy prey for the hive-mind.
Stalin had his minions modify old newspapers in libraries to his favor. Hitler wiped out his hometown with the German army to erase some of his past.
Yes, hive-mind, this might work. You may indeed prove victorious against individualism.
This writings on the subject are seperate from his political views. He is a fool because he knows the danger (clear from his writings) and yet he ignores that danger in obama. This clearly makes him a fool.
Oh please, tell me you don’t believe the crap you are writing. By all reports this was a regular thing at that church. You aren’t fooling anyone but yourself.
Wrong. There was a lot more than one. If it was just that one, do you think Obama would’ve have thrown him under the bus.
I don’t think I want to know what passes for ‘normal’ at that church.
The lesson of the Jeremiah Wright scandal is that Barry Obama’s judgment is so cloudy he sat in a church for twenty years without realizing the reverend was an America-hating lunatic. The rest of the country figured that out in about five minutes.
Entering Iraq in the first place was an expensive strategic blunder. The fact that, after almost six years, we’re finally getting some stability there (as the Afghanistan situation deteriorates) in part because of the surge is no consolation for the fact that the region has been destabilized, our military readiness has been decimated, our allies have lost faith in us, our enemies have been emboldened, Muslims around the world have grown more radical, a trillion dollars has been committed, more than 25,000 Americans have been killed or wounded, and Iraq has been expensively destroyed and emerged as a corrupt autocracy.
It was the biggest strategic miscalculation of our generation, and McCain was behind it 100%.
Judgment. Yeah.
Gloria Steinem. What a work of art. Gag a maggot!
I am dating myself, but do remember a quote by her from the early-to-mid seventies, about “women’s vaginas are like their apartments, we should invite our friends to visit them as often as we like” or something to that effect. I recall thinking about what a stupid and slutty remark that was. It pops into my head every time I hear her name. Which is not too often, thank God. That comment alone tells us all we need to know about
Ms. Steinem.
http://www.tucc.org/talking_points.htm
To have a church whose theological perspective starts from the vantage point of Black liberation theology being its center, is not to say that African or African American people are superior to any one else.
From Obamas church.
This ought to really throw the libs in a panic. Check out the latest Rasmussen poll.
The rest were just talking points so I deleted them. In fact the only reason that attacks are down 95% is because of the surge, which your guys said would not work. He was wrong. So Obamas first major political stance in forgien policy as a senator, he got wrong. Not good.
bemusedliberal: so what do you think of obama planning to spend years trying to “get bush” when bush is out of office?

The attack on Sarah Palin about how a woman with 5 kids can be a VP, is not only a Slam on Women/mothers in General, but also on every Responsible Husband and father.
They act as if a husband/father CAN’T step up and be an active Parent. What bothers liberals is…. she is NOT a VICTIM. Victimization is the sole source for Liberal Power. That is why they spend 100% of their energy in defeating Personal Responsibility.
Yes it’s slutty, but it makes me laugh. Apparently Gloria’s “apartment” is rent-controlled. The landlord is not taking care of it. The paint is peeling, there are cracks in the walls, the “rug” is thinning, there’s a bad insect infestation and a horrible, horrible odor coming from under the sink.

You reminded me of an appropriate quote from George Orwell:
“The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one’s real and one’s declared aims, one turns to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish spurting out ink.”
You are in good company my friend.
That’s why feminists hate her. She broke the “rules.” She didn’t slut around a la ‘Sex in the City,’ she got married. She didn’t abort, she procreated. She achieved success outside the marxist feminist sisterhood. Worst of all, she’s happy and she has a good man at her side.
The feminists’ hate is mostly jealousy.
You hit it right on the head, Socky.
Who doesn’t quit?
Lovely how you delete facts you find inconvenient.
Even McCain credits the change in tactics dubbed the “Sunni Awakening” with being a major part of the reduction in violence. Of course, Mr. Experience thought that the awakening followed the surge when, in fact, it preceded it. http://geniusofinsanityworld.blogspot.com/2008/07/john-mccain-confused-on-sunni-awakening.html
The Middle East is a mess. McCain helped make it that way.
They aren’t Democrats.
They are Democratic Socialist Communists.
Seriously.
They will say anything and do anything to gain and keep power.
We need to ensure that our November elections are carried out honestly. They will do everything in their power to cheat and try to steal the election.
Does ACORN sound familiar?
Does Illegal aliens voting in our elections sound familiar?
Heck, with honest elections, we could even turn Illinois red.
And so was Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton.
Sorry – I just can’t help myself. Exactly what issues is it that you care about? What do you propose we do about said issue? How is your solution going to “fix” said issue? What are the possible “unintended consiquences” of your “solution”? Has your “solution” been tried before? Has that “solution” worked? Is your “solution” part of what made America great or is it something entirely new? If it is entirely new, why do you think it will work?
Now what issue would you like to talk about?
No, that was your friend President Carter. He let Iran turn into an Islamic state and didn’t do squat when they took American’s hostage. It was because of him that terrorists got emboldened.
Remember THIS?
Explain BO’s flip flop and whitewashing of his website which removed his sterling and masterful analysis of the “failed” war?
You keep reciting that the war is a mess. Yet, The One and most staunch opponents of the war have changed their tune. You have nothing else to discuss. Sarah has uplifted the base. And.You.Can’t.Handle.It.
What was that again, FilmLadd? Swim hive-mind, swim!
The entire middle east conflict has always been about the free market price of oil. The cheerleading by the politicians is necessary in order to galvanize support. It is true we are there for oil and to open up new markets. The history of United States uses conflict to spread it’s influence but as a wonderful result we bring them freedom.
Example: General MacArthur insisting on women voting rights in the new constitution of the defeated Japan. ETC ETC
Maybe it is time to introduce media reform legislation! Almost very other amendment in the Constitution has been reviewed and scrutinized for its relevence in a modern world by the ‘fair-minded and unbiased’ media, and several of our fundamental rights have come under attack. Why not ‘freedom of the press’? Maybe it is time to take this ‘sacred cow’ to task.
I can’t believe this hasn’t hit the MSM /sarc
Apparently Joe doesn’t realize that the Steelers didn’t win a SuperBowl until 1974.
I deleted talking points not facts. You really should try to see the difference.
The awakeing was part of the surge stratagy. The surge was far more than just pumping more troops into the area. It was also a major change in strategy and tactics on the ground. Both of which worked, both of which Obama opposed.
Now lets talk about the idea of a windfall tax on the oil companies. Do you think that the oil companies will just:
A: Pay up and let it go?
or
B: Pay up and pass the bill on as higher gas prices?
or
C: Something else?
Don’t get me wrong, I will spend the money. But I am talking about the consequences.
Yes, if Obama is elected this country will be marginalized. It will be a sad day for America if Obama is elected. There will be no hope.
I think the windfall tax is BS. Of course, Palin supports it. Or has she flip-flopped on that already?
You’re simply wrong on this. The awakening preceded the announcement of the surge by many months. You not only delete facts, you make them up.
Palin isn’t running for president, Obama is.So you oppose Obamas windfall tax idea. Good. Now what do you think of the fairness doctrine?
I am not making anything up. Man you should read more outside of lefty blogs. Repeating the sunni awakeing in other areas was part of the surge strategy.
Bemused: You know all of this how? Katie Couric told you or you’ve spoken to the troops? Have you personally witnessed any of the situation on the ground in either country or are you just parroting what the media tells you? Since you don’t like the situation as you know it, what is your proposed solution from here? Please think this through COMPLETELY. There may be many ramifications to any and all actions.
Please also understand the thinking by a certain group of people. You are an infidel, you deserve to die. They get bonus points for helping you die early.
Its all about fear. They see in Palin what a Public Television commentator called a new Republican folk hero. In less than a week McCain in choosing Palin has shattered their world, and they still don’t know what to do.
conservativerus, Thats why I deleted the talking points. Everyone knows them and they do nothing to move the debate forward. There was only one sentence that seemed to be bemuseds own thoughts.
Really Gloria. Here’s what Clinton supporters are really thinking about Palin. These are Democrats loving Palin, especially when she trashes Obama.
PUMA’s
Hillary Supporters for McCain
More Hillary Supporters for McCain
I thought I was reading commennts from conservative websites for a minute. But these are DEMOCRATS!!! I think Obama better start worrying about the Hillary voters. Imagine all those that don’t blog or comment on blogs.
First rule of the left, never give credit to our troops. Don’t credit American troops for the success of the Surge because, after all, they’re just dumb hick losers who didn’t study hard enough and got “stuck in Iraq.” How could they possibly make a difference?
sonfdy – I quoted it all because every once in a while, a lib talking point is in fact truth. I was just questioning how Bemused knew any of it to be fact.

Hive mind, we know you delight in these things. This is why your drones so easily rattle off these half-thoughts.
