Since Obama said Palin wants to be treated as the other guys, his people got it…And to make things more surreal, that occurred on Laura Ingram show
Jack Tapper reports that
On the Laura Ingraham Radio show, Friday, attorney Howard Gutman — an original member of the national finance committee for Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill. — very directly criticized the parenting of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.
And when Ingram – gasp – called sexism, Gutman pretended parenting is genderless. You see, as long as they replace “bad mother to bad parent” it’s not sexist
“Think of how many politicians have said it’s not the right time in my family’s life for me to run.”
Gutman cited approvingly Sen. Evan Bayh, D-Ind., in 2004 and former Virginia Gov. Mark Warner in 2008, both of whom said they weren’t going to pursue the presidency because it wasn’t the right time for their families.
Right! because whenever some politician says “spending time with the family” it’s about parenting…
And when I say “the check is in the mail” it’s about the US Postal Services. Gotcha.
When they said it’s not against women, only against that woman, and oh, that other one too…
So, I have to believe one of two things now: that attacking the “parenting” of a woman candidate is not sexist, or that member of the Obama campaign is a right winger (Biden said…)
It seemed yesterday that the campaign realized the blowback potential of sexist attacks. They were backpedaling. But I think that even since the Alice Palmer days, it’s personal to Obama to attack women. He just can’t help it.
One must wonder what happened to “family off limits”
Barack Obama has forbidden his campaign from referencing Gov. Sarah Palin’s family and has said he’d fire any staffer who violates the rule. But plenty, it seems, its fair game.
Will Gutman be fired now?
Maybe a few too many lawyers on that campaign, underestimating the effect of parsing words
The farce of “literal theatre” is going to do wonders for Obama. And the karmic rewards: priceless

And when they say “It’s not about women, it’s just about Hillary”…
Well, we all know how that one turned out!

Hi, tpt!
They stupidly think they’ll get away with it again. They should have known by now, they didn’t get away with it the first time either, no matter what their own PR department told them

Sarah is proclaimed as “one of the guys.”
Now Obama and Co. can punish her for daring to be one of the guys. (Note: Obama called her ‘one of the guys’ not Sarah. )
Women should be women and do womenly things.
Old saying from the late 1800’s “Whistling girls and crowing hens often meet the same bad ends.”

Obama’s little girls are at a very delicate fragile age, I think he should be home with them for those formative years. Middle school is just awful and the oldest must be getting close. He really should wait until the girls are at least in high school!

I like the new photo, but it would be great if you could superimpose a big ol’ snarling puma where the cat is…

Palin’s son will be in Iraq in a couple of weeks. He probably won’t be needeing her on a day to day basis, Her oldest daughter is getting married and starting her own family. I think she can pick out the invitations without Mom, although she might want to do her wedding gown shopping at Mom’s new digs in D.C..
So, that leaves three children, one of whom is special needs. Not overpowering for a stay-at-home Dad who quit his production job on the north slope when his wife began negotiating the pipeline deal, because they felt it might be a conflict of interest.
Three kids, Dad at home, plenty of paid help. Are they saying she isn’t a good mom, or that men can’t be trusted to help out with day today parenting needs?

First, thanks so much for these posts. Truly. Keep it up.
That said, I continue to be amazed and shocked that the coaltion of the Demockacrats, liberals and leftists — masquerading as the former Democratic Party — and the very wrongly named MSM do not grasp in the slightest how they continue to expose themselves as misognists, misanthropes and reprobates.
We’re seeing, up close and personal, if you will, how sickness of soul that includes toxic hearts full of hatred, will destroy something–whether that’s a person, a family or a group.
What the DLLs and Obama, or whatever his real name might be, are doing is showing some real pathology here.
And that makes them very dangerous, because when their words don’t achieve the perverted and vicious means they desire, they could very well move to the next level.
God forbid that they do, though, because they will uncork something they will regret.
As they must be regretting what they’re doing now, but lack the self-control to not self-destruct.
McCain-Palin ‘08!
