C-SPAN Repuke WOMEN Fighting Back!
Edited on Wed Sep-03-08 01:52 PM by Heather MC
Ok I started watching C-Span because Barack was on Live. Then they had an all women call in on
so I kept watching. Now they are showing a press conference if 6 or or Repuke women having a press conference defending Palin

So far according to them, discussing Palin's Background, experience, and record is sexist.
:rofl:

Sexism is Palins POW
:rofl:

Has McCain ever run anything? Does Palin have more experience than McCain

Yes McCain ran a squadrain in the Navy.
She didn't answer the second question.

The Ebay Chick said the Repukes took Hillary on the Issues not sexism
:rofl: I am just going to laugh at that Like McCain did when Hillary was called "The Bitch"

1. "Discussing Palin's Background, experience, and record is sexist"
If we follow their logic, no woman can ever be criticized for anything and every woman is automatically qualified for everything. :eyes:

11. I swear it would be hilarious if we did something like that...
I mean not surgery, but wouldn't it be great if we started calling around to the govt offices and tell them we want to work there? Maybe submit applications and in the experience area.. cross everything out but right the word FEMALE on it?

10. What if it is Hillary that brings down the hammer on her by asking
tough questions. Is that sexist? Or will they call it female jealousy or some some such other non sense if Hillary goes after her.

3. That was one of the most dramatic performances I have ever seen.!
"It should be about ACCOMPLISHMENTS! And her RECORD! How DARE YOU QUESTION HER RECORD, YOU SEXIST PIGS!"


How did the reporters in the audience hold back the laughter?

9. My little brain is spinning....
Their's must be totally twisting AND spinning...

Now they have to defend all these things they've opposed for so long, unwed mothers, working moms, casual sex, etc....

I don't know where this is headed, but I hope it's a total party implosion!

12. Funny how the party that prides itself on being "Political Incorrectness Incarnate"
will suddenly run to charges of sexism when their VP candidate is being shown to be a total fucking loser.

16. Funny how they can't handle the same attacks they have levied on Others for years
Even McCain was destroyed by the Right Wing Smear Machine in 2000

I love that they blame the bloggers
They can scream at the media all day long and make them back down
but we bloggers are free agents, THEY CAN'T CONTROL US
THEY CAN'T STOP US

and the fact that they are complaining about us, Gives us the Power!
They can't hide anymore!

17. hmmm, TPM notes that Meg Whitman was a bit "off message" earlier...
http://tpmelectioncentral.talkingpointsmemo.com/2008/09/mccains_national_cochair_media.php


Meg Whitman, McCain's national campaign co-chair and former CEO of e-Bay, veered off message today in an interview with Fox News, describing the media vetting of Palin as "completely fair" and saying that there hasn't really been any sexism to speak of in the coverage.


"I actually think it's completely fair for the media to vet Sarah Palin," Whitman said, adding that it was "the right thing to do" for the media to dig into the background of someone who is "running for the highest office in the land."

Asked directly whether there had been any media sexism, she replied: "I wouldn't say there really has."

Someone should tell this to McCain senior adviser Steve Schmidt, who actually complained today that the press was "on a mission to destroy" Palin.
