Now Liberals Are Worried About Sexism

Sep 25, 2008 Political

Sarah Palin met with the newly elected President of Pakistan, Asif Ali Zardari, who commented that Palin is “gorgeous” and then he commented “Now I know why the whole of America is crazy about you.”

I am sure that was meant to be a compliment but it could be taken as “you have nothing more to you than beauty.” Given how different cultures view things I am sure he meant it as a compliment and intended nothing sexist by it.

Liberals, on the other hand, are commenting at CNN (where the story is posted) and they are up in arms. How sexist of this guy, they exclaim. This is the same group of people who ignored the sexism of Barry Obama and his campaign with regard to Hillary Clinton and who are helping with sexist remarks directed at Palin.

According to the kind of people who are shocked at Zardari’s remark, Palin should be home taking care of her kids, is a bad mother for giving birth to a child with Trisomy 21, and wasn’t a good mother which is why her teen aged daughter is pregnant.

Liberals will go to any length to win and the attacks on Palin will get much worse prior to the election. It is just beyond comprehension to these folks that a conservative woman is living the kind of life that the feminists have told women they can live. The problem is, a woman is not a true woman, to the feminists, unless she has murdered a child in utero and protested for abortion rights.

To the liberals, and particularly the feminists, a woman can be an independent, strong, motivated, capable human but only if she lives her life in accordance with their definition of feminism. Sarah Palin is everything they said a woman can be and she accomplished it without following the rules set forth in the Gloria Steinem manifesto.

Where were all the liberals and their concerns when the harpies on The View told Obama that they all thought he was sexy? Do they have a double standard? Say it isn’t so…

As an aside, Campbell Brown of CNN went on a rant stating that the sexist treatment of Palin must end. She was referring to the sexist treatment by the McCain campaign. Brown bases her assertion on the refusal of the campaign to allow reporters in to cover the meetings Palin had with world leaders. The media and its liberal toadies believe McCain is trying to hide her to keep her from being seen as having no experience. I fail to see how meetings that are filled with pleasantries could show any inexperience but then again, the Obama media can make anything up.

My question is, where was Campbell Brown (and the rest of the whiny media for that matter) when Barack Obama went on his world tour and met with leaders behind closed doors? Obama did not allow the press in when he was in meetings with the leaders of the nations he visited. His media wing made no complaints about that. I don’t recall Brown railing about Obama not getting the respect he deserves.

Perhaps that is because the reporters following him around like wide eyed school girls were too busy getting tingles down their legs. What say you Campbell? Why no rant about that?

Maybe the liberals are worried that Palin will be well received by leaders of the world…

Clinton Duplicity

Dec 31, 2007 Political

When the Clinton crime gang occupied the White House (and the Arkansas Governor’s Mansion prior to that) they worked hard to keep their daughter Chelsea out of the political spotlight. They wanted to ensure she was not part of the ugliness of politics and that is a good thing. The way the media and the left have attacked the Bush girls is a good reminder of how the ugliness knows no bounds. Unfortunately, while politicians might want their children to be off limits, they often have no problems using their children for political gain.

Chelsea Clinton has been brought in to campaign for her mother and she works the crowds after each of her mother’s speeches. She is a true Clinton moving through the crowd and asking people to caucus for her mother. But while the Clintons don’t mind using their 27 year old to pander for votes they have made it perfectly clear to the press that she is not to be interviewed. This mandate included a 9 year old kid reporter who asked Chelsea; “Do you think your dad would be a good ‘first man’ in the White House?”

Chelsea brushed off the little girl with this reply; “I’m sorry, I don’t talk to the press and that applies to you, unfortunately. Even though I think you’re cute.” Condescending and dismissive all at once. I don’t talk to the press, just like Hillary who limits which press has access to her and what they may ask. It seems to me that if one is to be the champion of the people then that person might actually be more open with the people.

However, this should come as no surprise to people who remember the first Clinton Administration. They were secretive, ignored the press and lied to cover up wrong doing. Now that the queen is locked in a tight battle they don’t mind parading their daughter around in order to pander for votes but at 27 she is still off limits to the press. It seems to me that if you put yourself out there (and at 27 Chelsea is old enough to take her own decisions) then you make yourself fair game for the press, even if the press is a 9 year old kid reporter.

It almost seems as if Chelsea, in addition to helping her mother’s floundering campaign, is getting her feet wet in the political world. How long, one wonders, before she is involved heavily in politics and running for office as a carpetbagger? She is old enough to run for the House and 3 years shy of being old enough for the Senate. Are the Clintons trying to build a political dynasty that rivals the Kennedy Crime family and all of its “public servants”? I also wonder where Chelsea works and how she got so much time off to campaign. Did her boss allow her to go do this? Is she being paid and, if so, does that constitute a campaign donation?

The Clintons are a crime family and they do not deserve another stint in the White House. I might also add, if these wonderful parents want to protect their daughter perhaps they should not parade her around on the campaign trail.
