Obama-Left bloggers can't help themselves.

Here's a fun, vapid ditty by A. Brooks over at The Land of Smears known as Huffington Post:

"Do we want a president who cannot communicate to their own child that possibly having a baby a year after you get your driver's license is not the smartest thing to do? Is this the new way for women to break the glass ceiling? To have their daughters throw their babies at it? I want my president to control their children, then they can tell the Navy what to do."


More misogyny. Because Sarah Palin is the wrong kind of woman! She's using her daughter's baby to shatter that ceiling!

Sound familiar? Does this mean Sarah Palin is pimping her daughter, like someone else was accused of doing?

Or maybe Michelle Obama will come out, like this Obama-Left blogger has done, and say that Sarah Palin can't run her own house, so how could she run the White House?

This isn't one wackjob in the wind putting up vapid diaries on the HuffPo. This is indicative of the Obama-Left's desire to go to any depths to smear a strong woman and her family.

Sarah Palin: The wrong kind of woman for Oprah?

It's Drudge, so take it with a grain of salt:

"Oprah Balks at Hosting Sarah Palin; Staff Divided."

Can't give the woman her say, can we? Nope. Remember, America: Sarah Palin! She's... she's a small-town mayor! She's a hick from the sticks! She's going to force your daughters, sisters, mothers, and cousins to have babies! LOTS OF THEM!

All about the Obama-Cheer Squad trying to frame the narrative. If this is true, it makes me lose even more respect for Oprah.

Way belated Update:
Oprah denies there's any discontent within her camp. Well, oops, I'm sure there is now.

TalkLeft. FAR Left. On Reverends.

Jeralyn continues her crusade in the name of "Palin Derangement Syndrome."

It's so much fun when Obama supporters try to attack Sarah Palin like they did Hillary...

... and it's even more fun when former Hillary supporters try to attack Sarah Palin like they did Barack!

"Want to know why James Dobson is so fired up about McCain/Palin when he refused to support McCain before her addition to the Republican ticket?"


Jeralyn is happy to inform! Why, Sarah Palin's Pentecostal pastors were... Pentecostal! HOLY SMOKES! I think that this is a total "fuschia" on the "Palin Alert!" Klang the Klaxons!

You know, I'm a Catholic. I'll throw that out there now. And while this confession may not run so hot amongst the Conservative readers of my blog: I usually tuned out during the Homily (Catholic lingo for the Priest's speech, which may or may not be revolved around that Mass's reading).

I'm sure a lot of stuff was said at one point or another. Lord knows. But if the argument we want to present about Sarah Palin is that her Pentecostal church had some Pentacostal sermons the likes of...

"Those that die without Christ have a horrible, horrible surprise!"


... is grasping for some serious straws. I mean, really? This is the smear? To re-create Reverend Wright upon Sarah Palin?

Nah.

You can't cut it both ways. You can't argue that she's some small-town country baby-making bumpkin', and then act shocked -- SHOCKED!!! -- that her church isn't all touchy-feely. Like, you know, Obama's "Unitarian Universalist" church turned out to be. Such a happy, uplifting group of people.

And even if those were her pastors' sermons -- so what? Palin's Reverends weren't her mentors for years nor did she give them political kickbacks and put them on her campaign staff like a certain someone we know. But then again, that certain someone we know decided these figures were no longer the people he "thought he knew." Funny, that. Oops.

And more to the point: we get it. Sarah Palin is a Republican. She goes to a Conservative Church. She's religious. NEXT HOT TOPIC FROM TALKLEFT: did you know Sarah Palin has ovaries? It's true!

Wake me when there's something legitimate to talk about. It still says nothing about her political positions.

As BTD and your readers told you, Jeralyn, focus on Palin's policies. You're not going to be able to assassinate her character based on her personal religion.

But keep trying to prove she was so horrible for using her executive power to dismiss a man who allowed someone -- who tasered his own son, I might add -- to continue serving as an Alaskan Trooper.

I swear. The Netroots just want to give Sarah Palin her due sympathy and bring the conversation back to Obama's -- the Presidential Candidate, mind -- own skeletons.

Women's Work.

Oh, David Axelrod. You're so adorable that it hurts!

"Palin may add some gender diversity to their ticket, but she doesn’t add any philosophical diversity. Hillary is a huge asset for us, and we want her out there, though we would have wanted her out there regardless of Palin."


Trust. David Axelrod believes in Harvey Dent. Two-Face much?

At any rate. It's fun to watch how the Obama campaign is now so terrified of Sarah Palin's "insulting" emergence as a female contender.

You're "insulted," Obama-Left? Should have picked Clinton as your running mate.

So stop smearing Sarah Palin as some sort of CRAZY WRONG WOMAN!

She isn't. And she's not. It's not McCain's/Palin's fault you're having buyer's remorse. I mean, after all, Joe Biden is so experienced.

But kudos on the same O-Fanatics and smear-extraordinaires like David Axelrod -- mastermind behind "Geraldine Ferraro is RACIST!" -- to now say that Hillary Clinton has to carry their weight, and not post-partisan "new kind of politics!" everyman Barack Obama.

Why don't you have Claire McCaskill go shill on Barack's behalf toward the women? Oh. That's right. She has no credibility left.

What is so terrifying about Sarah Palin? That she's a strong, capable woman of a different party? And now that evil Hillary is the only person who can stop her? And I'll believe Hillary's "bitter" when I hear it from her own mouth.

Now who's engaging in those crass "pandering" politics?

Oh, women's work.

Taylor Marsh: A Feminist of "Real Stature."

Earlier -- and "earlier" is such a short time ago, I'm finding -- I linked to Taylor Marsh, former "Clintonista," and in passing mentioned how she'd sailed away on the Obama love ship once the DNC brow-beat Hillary into submission.

This amazing feminist, who proudly displays her anti-Clinton, anti-Woman, pro-Obama hate mail as a front page hotlink on her site now is gunning for some Sarah Palin blood.

Oh, the dramatic irony of such B.S.

"Affirmative Action in go-go boots!" Tay-Tay proudly bellows. As a woman, she's insulted -- insulted!! -- that the GOP dared select a woman candidate that was not up to her standard of what a "real" woman is.

An encapsulation of the raving:

At some point, women have to stand up and say no to insulting selections that make a mockery of the rest of us who have not only had to pay our dues, but wait our turn. It took Hillary Clinton 35 years to prove her prowess. It's taken me decades, including honorable investigative work that is often ridiculed, plus years of working tirelessly to make a name for myself, to get where I am today. Women need to be able to stand up against and separate themselves from a political marketing plan based solely on packaging, as opposed to a worthy choice that honors the expertise of women of real stature.


Emphasis mine.

It's funny. Apparently it's not okay for women to be up-and-coming moderates; they don't exemplify "real stature."

Read: Taylor Marsh thinks it's an insult that a Democratic, liberal, "feminist" (my interpretation of Taylor's definition; I, on the other hand, think Sarah Palin's story is very feminist despite her conservative ideology) woman is not the first to "shatter that glass ceiling."

Well, sister, sometimes it doesn't happen as you'd expect. Do you revere Elizabeth I of England? Catherine II of Russia? Sacajawea? Are these important, historical women of real stature, or do they not matter because they didn't have a long resume and "work hard" like you have? Should they be trashed, hounded, insulted and discredited on a personal level because they didn't fit your mold of what personifies "real stature?" Powerful, yes -- as Sarah Palin could be. But not "real" -- to wit: not a "real woman."

Funnier:

"[Sarah Palin] should be nominated for administrator to the creation museum in Kansas."


Stay classy, San Diego. From Governor to curator is the equivalent of "stay barefoot and get in the kitchen!" But, I mean, Sarah Palin is a filthy Republican! She should get what's coming to her! OR you're applying a double standard based on your own prejudices you formerly decried Republicans and Obama supporters for having.

And now that not-so-fancy little "self-empowering" logo -- "You are a BITCH!" -- loses a lot of its power.

Sarah Palin isn't for Democratic women. Stop making it about you. And I wouldn't use a sexist "Barbie" standard for women image in your post when you're trying to make a point.

Sarah Palin is a Governor. She's not some random off the street.

Even so-called "progressive" women can't resist the urge to attack Sarah Palin's character.
