Rush: Ever see Republicans fight Democrats the way they fight Palin, Christine O'Donnell or Angle?
rushlimbaugh.com ^ | Monday September 13, 2010 | rushlimbaugh

Posted on 09/13/2010 4:08:01 PM PDT by Bigtigermike

RUSH: Okay, so The Chicago Boyz blog explaining that it's the threat to status, status anxiety that causes elitists of all ideological stripes to oppose people like Sarah Palin, Christine O'Donnell, Sharron Angle, any number of them. Then there's a Le•gal In•sur•rec•tion blog with a poster named Bill Jacobson who's associate clinical professor of law at Cornell who goes even further. He says: "The 'nuts and sluts' defense is a common employment law tactic whenever a female employee brings a claim. It doesn't matter what the claim is, the defense -- after the usual legal mumbo jumbo -- will be something like this: 'She's nuts. And by the way, pssst, she may be a slut.' That is the mode of attack Democrats use against conservative women.

Sarah Palin is the prime example, as she routinely is called crazy and is sexualized by the left." Yeah, Nikki Haley in South Carolina, she's a slut. She's loose. Now stick with me on this because this is how the left always goes out and attacks conservative women and some elite conservatives in the blogosphere and the Republican Party do the same thing. Yet guess who's always silent? The feminazis. The feminazis are never upset.

Now, Bill Clinton and Carville called Paula Jones trailer trash. Carville said: (imitating Carville) "You never know what you're gonna get when you drag a dollar bill through a trailer park. ha-ha-ha-ha." It worked for Clinton. Used it on Lewinsky, too. "The nuts part of the attack is being used against Christine O'Donnell in Delaware by the local Republican establishment..." this is from the Le•gal In•sur•rec•tion blog, "...and also by two leading conservative magazines, The Weekly Standard and National Review.

If O'Donnell is so nuts," the blogger asks, "why did the Delaware Republican Party nominate her to run against Joe Biden just two years ago? If O'Donnell wins tomorrow, you can be sure that the Democrats will seize on the nuts attack from Republicans, and take it to the next step by sexualizing O'Donnell (it already has started). By signing on to the nuts defense directed at conservative women, the Republican establishment has adopted the most pernicious line of Democratic Party attack."

One of the ways they talk about Castle is, "I am not 'anti-Mike Castle,' but I do have a problem with someone who was willing to destroy the economy by signing on to Nancy Pelosi's cap-and-trade plan." There are people attacking Castle that way, but the point is they're doing it on his issues; they're doing it on his ideas. Nobody is out there calling him names. "The vigorous attacks on Castle have been focused almost exclusively on his record and policy prescriptions.

Almost none of the attacks on O'Donnell focus on her policies or political agenda," which, if you've been paying attention, is true. Not one attack on Christine O'Donnell because of what she believes.

No, she sued a think tank, got the IRS after her, other personal attacks they're going after her with. That's why I keep saying I guess Mike Castle is clean and pure as the wind-driven snow; he doesn't have any baggage. There's not a person in the country that could run for office that doesn't have any baggage. So something of note here and it's going to be interesting to see if O'Donnell does win tomorrow, to look at the Republican establishment and see how they react to it. If they're being true to form now, they will not support her. They simply won't.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Washington Post today. In Delaware, GOP comes out swinging against Tea Party. The Delaware Republican Party chairman in this article essentially says, if you want a conservative committee chair, step back and allow Castle to become the next senator. If you -- in other words, the Republican chairman saying, we don't have a chance with this O'Donnell woman. You want a conservative in the Senate, go Castle. But he's not. He's not a conservative. That's the fault line.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: I really find this fascinating. If you will indulge me here for just a mere moment, Washington Post: "In Del., GOP Comes Out Swinging Against Tea Party." And here's the Republican Party chairman of Delaware, Tom Ross: "Quite frankly, I don't know what the goal is here. If they really want to see conservatives as chairmen of committees in the United States Senate, they'd step back and allow Mike Castle to become the next United States senator." Now, what's amazing about this is I think it's a tremendous tribute to everyday people in this country that everybody running for office is trying to convince everybody else that they're the most conservative in the race. And yet the RINO moderates know full well what they have to do to win. They have to go out and sound conservative, talk about being conservative, when they aren't. We never see Republicans fight the Democrats the way they're fighting their own.

Have you ever seen the Republicans fight against the Democrats the way they're fighting against Palin, the way they fight against Christine O'Donnell or Sharron Angle? You don't.

That's nutz. Charles has an elitist's view that is anti-Constitutional as applied to our 2nd Amendment rights.

It's also the trouble with "over-thinkers," who believe in social engineering and legislating from the bench, so long as the engineering and legislating suits their particular desire.

Krauthammer has never been a fan of Sarah. I've gotten the whiff of sexism in his previous comments but beyond that, he's "ruling class" all the way. Tonight's comments from him bear that out, as well as the analysis from others on this thread.

BTW, his calling Sarah's endorsement "capricious" was simply ignorant and foolish. Not like Kraut. All this silly "grassroots" stuff must be getting to him...LOL.

Sarah has two others as well to watch tomorrow. Maryland and in Wisc.

The Wisc. one has my interest. Duffy is ina bid for Obeys seat. The only this is I not sure if Duffy has a primary opponent.

“Capricious” got to me also. Of all words...LOL.
She came in with her endorsement ‘late’ - so it was hardly “capricious.’ Keeping with the lawyerly talk, she had plenty of time to “deliberate” before she endorsed Chrsitine.

LOL.

Thanks for the ping! Sarah is going to be in Waco tomorrow night. I wish I could go to the event!

re: “capricious”

It was a deliberate and carefully chosen insult. Think of it as Krauthammer’s erudite and elegant version of the “nutz & slutz” attacks in which the lesser lights of the elite nomenclatura are indulging themselves.

Sarah Palin doesn't do anything on a whim and Krauthammer should know it. Her endorsement record bears that out.

I don't know what was behind her late endorsement of O'Donnell. I know she had a chance to meet and talk with CO at the Beck rally, so she had some sense of Christine from a face-to-face meeting.

My guess is that with her recent endorsement successes she felt she could afford this "swing for the fences." Believe me, if O'Donnell wins it will be a huge victory for grassroots conservatives. The Beltway GOP will be rocked.

These gals are the exception to the rule I think. Most woman politicians are woman trying to act like men....and most end up along the way looking like them.

Hadn’t thought of it that way. I think you could very well be right.

Yep, Thatcher was another one...and she never let go of her feminine side....and that in itself gives a woman an advantage. Outstanding leader and well respected...even among her enemies.

I think you've pegged it exactly. There is a time for cautious political calculation and there is a time to trust your instincts. Her instincts are pretty good... /g

You know, I think you’re right. Snooty Charles was playing to *his* people. I think I might have to send him a snooty, little note. Now, let me locate my Roget’s...lol.

Sean Duffy for U.S. Congress in WS-07, 02/17/10 - (Primary is Sept. 14)

...

So, of those, how many has Sarah endorsed?

(Her endorsed candidate for governor of GA lost very, very narrowly to the establishment’s guy (Nathan Deal) in a runoff after a five-way race, but she got to the runoff itself only after Sarah’s endorsement.

Right. I agree.

Tea Party Express had also come through big time for Joe Miller in Alaska, and TPE had invested substantially in CO too. Sarah works closely with TPE, and I think Sarah's endorsement helped TPE's final push for CO: one new TV and radio ad.

Sarah followed-up with her own robo call and several DE Freepers have already received and saved their Sarah robo call.

:)

Yes, and you’re right. Dear Lady Thatcher had her share of enemies. She stood them down.
