Lester CaudillThe Hated Feminist
October 2nd 2008 09:00
The Vice Presidential Debates are tonight, and the Republican candidate will be watch, and every word will be scrutinized, twisted, bent, and turn upside down looking for something that can be used against her, Oh I know Joe will be watched, but not to the point that Sarah will.
You see ever since she busted on the scene she has been eviscerated by the main stream media which is really the liberal media, there is only one main stream media outlet left in America, and that is Fox. Some of the news outlets are really the headquarters for Barack Hussein Obama, and news from them is bias.
But back to Sarah, here we have a woman that is a wife, mother, Governor, patriotic American, that believes in the sanctity of life. She is respected and love by many, and she is not without her supporters that stand behind her all the way.
She is a great lady, and that is what is so surprising about all this is that many, her fellow feminist, turned on her like rabit wolves. What made them do that? The only reason I can think of is she is pro life, and didn't have an abortion when she found out that Trigg would be born with Down Syndrome.
Politics is a very rough game and is not for the faint of heart, She has faced attacks on her, on her children, and her husband. The liberal bloggers have had a field day spreading lies about her husband, and seventeen year old daughter, her record, and character.
Why is it only Sarah and her family that got trashed? Why hasn't some of these slime balls gone after Barack and his kids? Why hasn't Barack's dear wife been so vilely attacked? Well maybe it is because Republican actually have some class of which liberals are seriously lacking.
I wish Sarah much luck, and a bit of advice for her, don't stand to close to Joe, you may get hit by his foot on it's way to his mouth.

Stupid doctor. I have to go back in the morning. Until then, I guess I just have to put up with the popping sounds and the buzzing in my right ear and hope there is no permanent damage. Oh well.
Cigarette smoke huh? Now that's something.

I just couldn't swallow my dignity, and lose my morals, not saying that democrats doesn't have morals to. I can't get over some of the policies, as I am sure that some dems can't get over on the republican side.
I have gone after Barack Obama pretty hard but never on personal basis it his policies, and ideas I don't like. But Sarah has face nastiness that no woman should ever have to face.
just because she has the audacity to hope that she can be the first woman Vice President and maybe President. Barack Obama has been allow to hope and dream, but why wasn't Sarah.
On a different note I was told the same thing about ear aches as S.L. I personally have never tried it but they say it works. Also I have heard a warm air from a hair dryer works to, but I wouldn't recommend you try it. But I hope you can get some relief from that ear soon.
And thanks for stopping by.

i agree some of the attacks on palin have been uncalled for. i don't agree with personal attacks ever, especially not over her family choices. but you need to separate the attacks on her person from the attacks on her policies. criticising her lack of foreign policy knowledge and her stance on some issues is not the same as demeaning her husband and children. i have criticised her many times for things she has said and for her stance on some issues, but i have never said anything negative about her family or about the choices she has made in her personal life.
also, you have to consider the source. is it the media who is making personal attacks or is it some random blogs? i think the media has a right to question her credentials. and you have to admit, it's not just the liberals who are doing that. i've read some of the things that peggy noonan and kathleen parker and other conservatives have written. they don't think she is qualified. yes, i know she has executive experience but that's not the same thing as having knowledge about how the world works. i just don't think she is ready for the international stage.
it's a shame really, maybe in a few years she would have been an ideal candidate. i think McCain put her in the spotlight before she was ready. i guess we'll see in november.
i don't have any cigarettes handy. i guess it'll have to wait until morning. that's interesting what you said about your kids SL, do deaf people not get ear infections?

Barack Obama was one of the few people ive seen speak out against personal attacks on Sarah Palins family
“My mother had me when she was 18 years old,” Obama said, adding that families should deal with these issues privately. “That shouldn’t be the topic of our politics, and I hope that anybody who is supporting me understands that’s off limits.”

also I think you will find there have been an enormous amount of personal attacks on Michelle Obama, ive seen presenters on Fox news and many conservative writers call her racist, elitist, un-patriotic, a USA hater, and a terrorist
all of the personal attacks are unnecessary

Concerning Sarah Palin, she still has more executive experience than Obama and Biden combined. Most of the presidents we have had were not deeply involved in international politics before the were elected. A few were, true, but most were not. That's why they choose advisors who do know about issues of foreign affairs. No one ever elected had 100% knowledge on every single subject. Even Ronald Reagan (who won the Cold War without firing a single shot) had little or no international experience when he was elected. But he (like Sarah Palin) was a quick learner and surrounded himself with good advisors. That's the key, Ruby. Besides, by the time she's finished being Vice President, she'll have all the information about other countries that she needs to be President.

In spite of his "disapproving" of the attacks on Sarah Palin, Morgan, Barack Obama's people have been in the forefront of the attacks. His cheering section (the liberal media) is still frantically searching for something they can use against her. Alaska is full of people who have gone there to dig up dirt in order to make him and Biden look less like the morons they are by making her look bad. The "politics of personal destruction" belongs to the libs/dems and is in full force right now.

About Palin, I think the world is changing at such a rapid pace that the rules of yesteryear don't always apply. Past presidents didn't need to know as much about world politics because America was not so involved with the rest of the world. That's no longer the case. I just don't think executive experience is enough. How is Palin going to handle herself amongst the world leaders? How much does she know about the conflict in the Middle East.? By her own admission she has "not thought much about Iraq". Also, i don't think someone who asks school kids to pray that American soldiers in Iraq "are on a task that is from God", is sophisticated enough on foreign policy and international relations to be engaging in diplomacy with world leaders.
But on the bright side, we will have four years of Tina Fey playing her on SNL to look forward to.

She's running for Vice President, Ruby. She should have time to learn the necessary protocals, etc. before sitting in the Oval Office. Obama, on the other hand, is running for President with no experience in anything. His ideas (such as they are until he changes them again) are pitifully naieve. He said he'd have personal negotiations with Castro, Ahmadinejad, Kim Jong Il and any other rouge regime with no pre-conditions. He praised the wonders of Communist China and said we should be more like them. He swore he would withdraw our troops from Iraq immediately after taking office, then finally realized how stupid it sounded and agreed it could take awhile. He said the Surge wouldn't and couldn't work and took a long time before admitting that he was wrong. He likes the bailout crappola and promises tax cuts that won't ever really happen. I can come up with plenty more examples of his glaring incompetance if you like...

ive seen Fox news refer to Michelle as Baracks "baby mama" and accuse her of making a "terrorist fist jab" and generally disrespecting her and the legitimacy of their relationship
comments like this also have nothing to do with her husbands leadership potential:
also theres a quite a few rumours floating around about whether Michelle has had abortions in the past or even during the campaign

its all disrespectful and irrelevant to Barack Obamas policies
the families of candidates should be off limits
with regards to Palin, whether she or her daughter choose to have babies or abortions is irrelevant - what is important is what she intends to bring into law if elected, because that affects everyone else ability to choose

And just to clarify, when I said that in a few years Palin may be the 'ideal candidate', I meant the ideal Republican candidate, not the ideal candidate in general or what I would consider the ideal candidate. ]

She was attacked for her statements, but Sarah was attacked just because she was picked as V.P., and was a conservative woman that was pro life. I commend Barack for saying families are hands off, but apparently his attack dogs are not well trained in obedience.
I can't believe that civilized people have stoop to this level, The rumors and lies they have spread, and the mean things they have said about Trigg makes me think that these people can't even be called human.
All personal attacks are wrong, go after a person's political policies, but not person's family.

Please don't be taking the moral high road here. I have read some of the the things you have written about Obama. And are you saying it's okay to call Michelle Obama a terrorist and ask if she has had any abortions but it's not okay to say that Palin is anti-woman because she is pro-life?
You are treating ALL attacks on Palin as if they are personal and sexist and that is not the case. You have to make the distinction.
And what about the treatment Chelsea Clinton was subjected to when she was a teenager living in the White House We've all heard John McCain's little joke about Chelsea and Janet Reno haven't we?
Lester, Republicans are famous the world over for their smears and personal attacks. Now that it's happening to one of your own, you are finding it's not very pretty is it?

The media went after the Bush twins with a vengence for a time, remember? Michelle Obama put herself in the spotlight and should be held accountable for things she said while campaigning, just like all other political wives are. She attended the America bashing church for 20 years, too.
I think it's great that a pro-life woman has managed to raise a family, run a town, run a state and run for the Vice Presidency! She doesn't have to compromise her beliefs to please anyone. She has proved beyond a doubt that being a real feminist doesn't mean you have to kill babies. She understands that half the murdered babies every year are females and is supporting innocent female victims (and male victims, too) while the modern phony "feminists" just want to kill as many babies as possible regardless of gender. Sarah Palin is what all the phony "feminists" pretend to want to be. But because she's pro-life they think they have to hate her. What a pitiful bunch they are...

You can attack her because she want to cut taxes, you can attack her because she is pro life, oh well you can attack her for being a Republican, but not her personal life or her family even Barack said families are off limits, like anyone listen to him.
Barack Obama is allowed to have the Audacity of hope, but Sarah is not, that's very troubling to and it should be to you as being a woman even if you don't like her or support her views you should at least respect her for what she is doing and what she has done.

Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly?
Because her father is Janet Reno.
I don't know of any feminists who have attacked her for not aborting her down syndrome baby. i know some people have made horrible remarks about it but if a feminist did that then she is going against the essence of feminism. Being pro-choice means that you respect a woman's right to choose and that includes respecting and supporting her choice to continue with a less than perfect pregnancy. i for one applaud any woman who makes such a difficult choice. But just for the record Palin was four months pregnant when she found out her child would have Down's. That means an abortion would have been illegal and was no longer a choice anyway. So this whole debate about her "choice" is actually a moot one. There was no choice. But still Palin wants accolades for her "choice" whilst simultaneously calling for other women to be denied a choice. Where's the feminism in that?
And if she doesn't want people to keep brining up her family then perhaps she should stop mentioning them in every single speech she makes. I'm sick of hearing about how she has a son in Iraq. So does Biden. So does McCain. You don't see them throwing it into everyone's face at every available opportunity. She has made a choice to make her family public property. She has to deal with the consequences. You can't have it both ways. That still doesn't make the attacks oner family right but it does make me feel less sympathy for her.
I have already said I agree with you about the personal attacks Lester. But I think it is too much when you claim that Republicans don't stoop to them. They have made them an art form.

As for the Palin family being in the spotlight, they would have been, anyway. If they'd tried to stay quiet and private, the media would have had a field day "digging up dirt" on them just like they're doing now. And there's no reason why she or anyone else shouldn't be able to talk about having a son (or daughter) in the military. It's something to be proud of. I'm very proud of my Marine grand daughter!
While I realize that sometimes Republicans make nasty remarks (by the way, I'd never heard the one about Chelsea) it's a well known fact that the nastiest and ugliest remarks come from Democrats like Bill Maher and other unfunny "comedians." Robin Williams and Whoopi Goldberg for example treated everyone to their "humor" by screaming F&^% Bush and probably thought they were hilarious.

S.L. is right here in the States time limits on abortion means nothing when it comes to murders like Tiller. And Ruby I haven't heard half as much nastiness coming from the republicans as I have heard from liberals.
They whined and complain, they have accused the republicans for everything under the sun, from starting aids to kill blacks to faking 9/11, they might even accuse republicans for starting the black plague. Of which none of it is true.
So lets continue to agree that personal attacks are wrong and should not happen.

I my self don't care about reconciling with the far left nutcases what advantage would it be, they would cut your throat in a heart beat. I thought some of them was suppose to move out of country if Bush was reelected, they didn't and that made them liars on top of everything else.

not one personal attack or insult, just interesting discussion about an interesting topic!
im sure you have seen me say before that S.L reminds me of my father in her views (you do a bit too Lester) and it has been enjoyable seeing a mature exchange of ideas!
i hope this is all going in your next book S.L!

Morgan, it's easy to remain calm and thoughtful when your opposition behaves in an adult fashion. If you'll go back a ways, you'll see that neither Lester nor I get cranky unless we are provoked.

Do you see the difference there? McCain is a Senator. A public official. An employee of the people and a representative of his party. Bill Maher is a comedian. Bill Maher does not represent the Democratic party. This is what I am talking about when I say you have to make distinctions and consider the source. What Bill Maher says and does is not indicative of the Democrats as a whole because his top priority is his ratings. McCain's top priority should be his country. Thus he should behave in more dignified manner. Making awful comments about the physical appearance of a teenage girl is not the way a Senator should behave. That is the difference.
And about what Morgan said, i know you guys think that some people come onto your blogs and make unprovoked comments but can i just explain to you that so many of the posts you make are themselves provocative? You may not realise this but so many of the topics you blog about are hurtful to a lot of the people who come across your posts. The things you say about Muslims for instance. My family is Muslim. And my father was one of the kindest, most loving people I have ever known. So when I read the things you write and how you always bring up Obama's middle name, it immediately sets my back up and I feel like you are insulting my father's memory. So I feel like you have already insulted me. It is actually possible for you to criticise Islam the religion and the terrorists themselves without implying that all Muslims are inherently evil.
That's just one example.

I never said anything about Bill Maher, but since you brought him up, he does represent the democratic party if he espouse their platform, and advocates for them he is connected to them, I personally have never heard the Chelsea Clinton comment, but I will look it up.
But if he made it is wrong, and he should apologize if he hasn't already, and that's what all these Hollywood mouthpieces should do as well.

As for my comments offending you... they were never intended to be personal attacks against you, Ruby. However, I'm not going to just forget that every single one of the 9/11 high jackers and all the current batch of terrorists that are killing people are Muslims. I can't ignore that insurrection and jihad are preached in mosques. I'm not going to let it slide while Muslim extremists are killing my people, your people and innocent civilians (who are also Muslims.) The father's and brothers who murder the women in their families ("honor" killings, I'm sure you've heard of them!) can't be ignored when they commit these sick crimes in the name of their "religion." Mahmoud Ahmadinejad keeps threatening to wipe Israel off the map because he claims that it's his duty as a Muslim to do it. When all the rights that are supposed to be for everyone are shifted and changed in order to please Muslims while offending Christians, Jews and everyone else, I'm not going to stay quiet.
If you find that disturbing, Ruby, then don't read my blog. If you want to try to defend the indefensible, go ahead. I'm sure your father was a very nice man, not because of his religion, but in spite of it. Because, to hear the terrorists tell it, you can't be a Muslim without killing as many innocent people as possible, because the Koran demands it.
