Oh, dear. Chris Matthews wins again with the denigration of women.
And remember: John Aravosis is throwing a little temper-tantrum over the loss of folks like Tweety here, and Keith Olbermann.
Newsbusters has the story and the video.
Fun for the whole family. You run for VP, ladies of America? You're really just a first lady.
Mrowr.

Marching Orders.
Since the smearing of Sarah is backfiring, Daily Kos are sending their incindiary users' diaries down the memory hole.
Ace of Spades HQ is blogging about this.
Maybe the Netroots are getting a clue? Or maybe they're just taking their marching orders from Camp O, much as they did from them with regard to Hillary Clinton. But see, those smears worked. The ones against Sarah Palin are backfiring.
Delete 'em away all you want, but you can't stuff that genie back in the bottle, Blogger Boyz. Own your sexism.

Andrew Sullivan lies through his keyboard.
Oh, Andy! I shall now go to bed dreaming of carressing your wonderfully soft face. You send tingles up my leg the way that thinking up new and vicious ways to smear Sarah Palin sends tingles up yours.
Anyway, let's have some fun with my loving Andy.
Round 1:
Highly Professional would have been for Obama to reach out to Hillary Clinton to create the "dream ticket" pundits went on about since, oh, MARCH. It would have cemented the base and never given Palin an opportunity.
Obama's recklessness is what allowed for Sarah Palin to rise to prominence. And now? America loves Sarah Palin -- as do I. I consider that less professional, and more reckless.
As far as McCain? I consider his selection the best electoral strategy I've seen from a political candidate in my lifetime.
Round 2:
And that's a bold-faced lie. You would love to gossip on-and-on endlessly about Sarah Palin's tragically Republican lady-bits. Because it's juicy, and you're a filthy sensationalist.
You learned more than you ever wanted to? Is that why you basically wanted to violate HIPPA and have Palin's OBGYN refute your outlandish charges that her youngest child is not her own?
Homegirl, please.
Round 3:
He smears away, repeating his goofy half-truths, but more to the point:
That strategy has backfired, and backfired dramatically. What's that, Andy? McCain is up amongst white women quite handily? Huh? McCain's ahead in the polls?
Fatal indeed.
And in that, we have a winner. Spin, spin, spin goes the Obama-Left carousel. As Obama dashes to the center, trying to distance himself from the Obama-Leftroots' character smears that fed him for so long, people like Andrew Sullivan will disregard it and continue on drum-beating, spinning, and lying.
What was originally just feeding the Obama goose campaign is now becoming a force-feeding. Obama owns his surrogates that propelled him to Primary "victory." And these surrogates will continue feeding him "great talking points on Sarah/McCain!" until the Obama goose explodes.
Just wait for that foie gras.
Anyway, let's have some fun with my loving Andy.
Round 1:
"In Joe Biden, Obama revealed his core temperamental conservatism. It was a safe choice of someone deeply versed in foreign policy, and with roots that connected to the working class white ethnics he needed. It wasn't flashy; and was even a little underwhelming; but it was highly professional.
What we have learned about John McCain from his selection of Sarah Palin is that he is as impulsive and reckless a decision-maker as George W. Bush."

Round 2:
"We know this not because of what we have learned about this Pentecostalist populist since she exploded on the scene last Friday morning (and God knows we have learned more than we ever wanted)."
And that's a bold-faced lie. You would love to gossip on-and-on endlessly about Sarah Palin's tragically Republican lady-bits. Because it's juicy, and you're a filthy sensationalist.

Homegirl, please.
Round 3:
"The recklessness was much more fatal in the new media world than in the old one. [...] Palin's reality show family life, her vendetta against her ex brother-in-law, her endorsement of a mayoral candidate who ran against her own mother-in-law, her attempt to ban books in her local library, her friendship with one of her husband's former business partners, and on and on: this was the first major campaign event that was covered by the underground media before it reached the mainstream."

They Fail; McCain-Palin Win.
Here's Huffington Post's latest attempt at total and utter fail.
A "morph-manip" of Sarah Palin as George Bush. And, visually, it's fail. It doesn't look like a blend of the two at all, but rather an attempt to say "Not a beauty queen, but an uglier woman!"
Sarah Palin = George Bush?
Again, Obama-Left. You make Sarah Palin out to be the Presidential candidate, you make Obama look weaker, less experienced, and give John McCain a free ride into the White House.
Smearing Sarah is a losing battle. There is nothing about Sarah Palin that is George Bush. Unless "Republican" makes her the same person as George Bush.
By that token, "Democrat" should make Barack Obama "Harry Reid," "Nancy Pelosi," and "Dennis Kucinich."
Fun!

Tammy Bruce: Feminism and Sarah Palin
A great article on Palin, feminism, and the two parties from Tammy Bruce of RCP.
She hits it out of the park.
My favorite chunk:
Definitely read it.
She hits it out of the park.
My favorite chunk:
"Virtually moments after the GOP announcement of Palin for vice president, pundits on both sides of the aisle began to wonder if Clinton supporters - pro-choice women and gays to be specific - would be attracted to the McCain-Palin ticket. The answer is, of course. There is a point where all of our issues, including abortion rights, are made safer not only if the people we vote for agree with us - but when those people and our society embrace a respect for women and promote policies that increase our personal wealth, power and political influence.
Make no mistake - the Democratic Party and its nominee have created the powerhouse that is Sarah Palin, and the party's increased attacks on her (and even on her daughter) reflect that panic.
The party has moved from taking the female vote for granted to outright contempt for women. That's why Palin represents the most serious conservative threat ever to the modern liberal claim on issues of cultural and social superiority. Why? Because men and women who never before would have considered voting for a Republican have either decided, or are seriously considering, doing so.
They are deciding women's rights must be more than a slogan and actually belong to every woman, not just the sort approved of by left-wing special interest groups."
Definitely read it.
Obama's Gay Hypocricy
I'm going to detract from Sarah Palin for one moment here just as an emphasis on my many criticisms of calling her "anti-gay" while giving Barack Obama a free pass on gay rights.
I've written about it here, and alluded to this elsewhere on the blog.
Anyway, this video from one of the many Democratic debates also offers a fun, sparring Biden/Obama moment.
Joe Biden speaks on HIV and the importance of proper testing and condom use, alluding to the down low culture. He says it's okay to be tested, and that he has been tested as had Obama.
Obama? He uses it as a cheap joke to basically scream "I'm not gay!!" without quite saying it. "I was with my wife. In Kenya! And it was public!"
Way to break down the stigma barrier for gay men of color, Obama.
And he's the champion of gays? Sarah Palin is the enemy?
As. If.
Now, back to fighting the Palin smears.

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.
