The sexist known as Keith Olbermann is gone. And Americablog whines.

"You can turn off NBC and MSNBC during the debates and elections," John Aravosis whines. "You're all idiots!!!!111"

Cause of this emotional tantrum?

Keith Olbermann is no longer in the anchor chair for election coverage.

I say this is a cause celebre for all informed voters out there who despise sexist attacks. Olbermann should have been gone the minute he said that some male Obama-supporting Superdelegate should kill Hillary Clinton.

But, for Obama-Cheerleader John Aravosis, this is a tragic day for democracy. "The Republicans got to NBC and MSNBC."

Well, hey. I would prefer to believe common sense got to NBC and MSNBC. But if the "Republicans" are the cause of this? Well, I call that a victory for women. And the Republicans are the ones who delivered.

Who benefits? The voters. The citizens of America. And, by extension, Sarah Palin.

Stop the sexism, Obama-Left.

John Aravosis: continuing to make gays look like hypocrites.

John Aravosis wants to think he's queen bee of us gay democrats out there, but he really needs to check himself into hypocricy rehab:

"So does Palin think gays can be cured? Time for some enterprising reporter to ask the McCain campaign."

But hey: before that, weren't you OUTRAGED! that Barack Obama would invite a "cure the gay away" spokesman to a campaign event? Which, by the way, is something Sarah Palin has not done.

Oh, yeah. That was until you decided that women are bad, bad, bad sinister creatures and Barack Obama walks on gay water, but let's remind those bitter, gun-and-religion clingers about your principled follow-through:

"So, in the end, Obama let his "best" and "favorite" artist slam gays to thousands of African-Americans, in his name, and neither he nor his hand-chosen white gay preacher said anything in response. Class act, that Obama campaign.
[...]
"Obama is definitely not ready for prime time."

Huh. Does John Aravosis -- CHAMPION OF US GAYS!!! -- have one iota of credibility on this issue? You be the judge, but I think the case is clear.

But, sure, let's talk:

Barack Obama is pro-civil unions and thinks civil unions are a State issue and is opposed to gay marriage. And he has done nothing for same-sex couple benefits in elected office. To wit:

Sen Obama: "I'm a Christian. And so, although I try not to have my religious beliefs dominate or determine my political views on this issue, I do believe that tradition, and my religious beliefs say that marriage is something sanctified between a man and a woman."

[...]

[Obama] said he would support civil unions between gay and lesbian couples, as well as letting individual states determine if marriage between gay and lesbian couples should be legalized.

Get it? "Support" "Oppose." Words are meaningless unless there's a tangible record, eh? Mind that I'm using a source titled "Lesbian Life" and has a party-line bias. Which is fine. But see how they twist in the wind about Palin.

Even though, as governor, Sarah Palin signed into law a state supreme court-ordered measure to grant same-sex partner benefits in 2006, she publicly stated that she disagreed with the court ruling.

Sarah Palin signed same-sex partnership benefits into law per the Alaskan Supreme Court when former Republican Governor Frank Murkowski sat on his hands and did not sign them.

Sarah Palin is opposed to gay marriage and civil unions. But she has done something very concrete for same-sex couples in elected office.

The point is that words are meaningless. Obama says he will be this gay rights champion (never mind he did not march in Chicago Pride this year! Way to organize that Chicago community!) but essentially takes the same position as any Republican:

Marriage. One man. One woman.

And, more to the point, has no record of championing gay rights.

Sarah Palin? She says the same. She says she personally opposes same-sex marriage. But Sarah Palin demonstrated a respect for law and for the bench and signed those rights into law.

Sarah Palin decided to do what was right, based on her State's Supreme Court ruling. You can weasel and cry all you want, John Aravosis, that Sarah Palin is "SO ANTI GAY!" and her "CHURCH IS ANTI-GAY!" and scream and twist in the wind that Obama is this saintly friend to LGBTs nation-wide.

One had a record of respecting her bench and not mixing her personal beliefs with State policy. Sarah Palin can personally believe all she wants about gays. She did what was right based on a legal case.

The other? A lot of words that don't sound any different from a Republican! like Sarah Palin. That's Obama. "Vote for me because you have nowhere else to go!"

And as far as not marching in Chicago Pride?
Well, at least someone on the Democrats' side dared to do it. Again and again.


John Aravosis: stop being such a PDS-infected hypocrite.

Johnny keeps it coming with his PDS.

Palin Derangement Syndrome!

John Aravosis loves tabloid journalism.

And, from his comments section, from "MalibuBarbie":

"My goodness, that cover picture of Sarah Palin is ... disturbing. Rather mesmerizing I must say. On first glance she looks like a proud momma but when I stare into her eyes she seems a tad .. aggressive, like she is getting ready to rip out somebody's jugular with her teeth."

Gays-on-women, and "MalibuBarbies"-on-women. Sarah Palin is going to TEAR OUT YOUR JUGULAR! And the Obama-Left sinks further into the gutter.

Sexism abound. Sexism rampant. Palin Derangement Syndrome? That's forever on the "America"blog.

I hope Palin doesn't wear hoop earrings tonight, lest Johnny-boy's fine tuned progressive values find them disappointing.

Absolute joke. Would Aravosis have reacted the same if this had been the US Weekly cover?

Doubt it.
