    Fox Decries Palin's 'Unwanted Facial Hair'

    By  Tommy Christopher
    %PostTitle%

    Conservatives are frothing at the mouth over Newsweek's new cover photo of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, which they say should have been retouched. From CBS:Despite countless magazine pictures and covers with similarly unflattering pix of Sen. Hillary Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama (and his wife, Michelle), this one, they whine, shows too many wrinkles and too much unsightly facial hair and was taken from too close an angle. Apparently you've got to see one in person to get the full effect.You can sample the apoplexy in the video below.Also making waves are the now-infamous Reuters "upskirt" ...

    Brown's Star Rises After Confrontations

    By  Jay Allbritton
    %PostTitle%

    CNN's Campbell Brown recently attracted attention with a series of confrontational moments that became internet hits. The fun seems to have started early last month when Brown pressed McCain adviser Tucker Bounds to give one specific example of Sarah Palin's foreign policy experience (David Knowles posted the clip here). Brown struck the McCain campaign again later in the month, accusing them of sexism for sheltering Palin from the media. "Tonight I call on the McCain campaign to stop treating Sarah Palin like she is a delicate flower that will wilt at any moment," said Brown. On September 25, ...

    It's Palin pushback day here at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minnesota. Republican operatives are hopping mad over what they characterize as a spate of false, misleading, and baseless attacks in the mainstream press aimed at GOP Vice-Presidential nominee, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. Palin will deliver her acceptance speech to the convention in prime time tonight.A full day of activities is planned by the McCain campaign to make the case that the media treatment of the first female nominee on a Republican ticket has been over the top in its negativity. Former New York Mayor ...

    UPDATE- New Agenda: Stop Calling Palin a MILF

    By  Tommy Christopher
    %PostTitle%

    The freshly-minted women's group "The New Agenda" has come out swinging against sexist attacks on Sarah Palin. From a press release: "We cannot and will not sit idly by while another qualified candidate goes through what Senator Hillary Clinton had to endure. Issues are fair game. Sexist treatment is no longer fair game," said Amy Siskind, a co-founder of The New Agenda. ..."Our members were outraged that within 24 hours of Governor Palin's historic candidacy she was dismissed as "tokenism," she was referred to as a "MILF" (mother I'd like to f*uck), and chuckling male commentators said:" The ...

    Does McCain Have a Problem With Women?

    By  David Knowles
    %PostTitle%

    According to blogger and radio host Taylor Marsh, the answer is pretty clear. Monday's incident, in which John McCain volunteered his wife for a topless beauty contest at the Sturgis, South Dakota biker bash, is but one more instance of what Marsh sees as a pattern of sexist behavior from the Arizona Senator:Hello, all of you anti Obama zealots, got misogyny? That's your man, John McCain, a where's Pakistan?, Sunni or Shia - who cares?, bomb-bomb-bomb Iran, Take my wife topless please, kind of guy. You can add McCain offering up his wife for a topless contest to what John McCain once said ...

    Clinton Campaign Coverage Was Sexiest

    By  Tommy Christopher
    %PostTitle%

    The sexiest campaign coverage was reserved for Hillary Clinton's primary run, according to many political observers. This reporter, himself, has been referred to as "sexiest" innumerable times by readers on these forums, and while I did like the way my hair looked in that one picture from the Philadelplhia event, I think they're just flattering...wait, I'm getting something in my earpiece...how's that?...Sexist? From The New York Times: Angered by what they consider sexist news coverage of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton's bid for the Democratic presidential nomination, many women and erstwhile ...

    Hillary Will Be 'Obama's Cheney'

    By  Tommy Christopher
    %PostTitle%

    I find your lack of faith...disturbing. – Tommy Christopher using hackneyed Darth Vader voiceFor months, I have been saying that the "Dream Ticket" is inevitable, but the Yeahbuts won't listen. "Yeah, but...okay, but..." Whether you think it's a good idea or not, or you think Barack and/or Hillary won't go for it, it doesn't matter. It is going to happen. There's no other play. If Obama passes up a sure win in November because Hillary was mean to him, or if she says no because she thinks she's already won by seating deceased delegates whose spirits have not "crossed over," they will both ...

    Women Rule!

    By  David Knowles
    %PostTitle%

    The single most-jarring exit polling statistic from the Pennsylvania primary was that women accounted for 59% of those who voted, while male voters only added up to 41% of the Democratic electorate. As Hillary Clinton's overall margin-of-victory was 9 points, she can, without a doubt, thank the women of Pennsylvania for their decisive support. In part, Clinton's successful candidacy points to a larger trend in our society. Namely, we are undergoing a power shift in America: away from men, and steadily toward women. Female participation is not only disproportionate in the voting booth. Take a ...

    By  Abby Tonsing

Mainstream media made a huge issue about Hillary Clinton "crying" on Monday, instead of this blatant display of sexism during a campaign speech the very same day.Hillary says it best: "The remnants of sexism, alive and well." ...
