Hilary Rosen: 'Spare Me The Faux Anger' On Ann Romney 'Never Worked A Day In Her Life' Remark

Democratic strategist Hilary Rosen wants Republicans to spare her the "faux anger" as backlash against her continues to build for saying Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's wife, Ann Romney, "never worked a day in her life."

The remarks were seen as an attack on stay-at-home mothers, being that Ann Romney cared for her five children -- Tagg, Matt, Josh, Ben and Craig -- as a housewife.

"Guess what, [Romney's] wife has actually never worked a day in her life," Rosen told CNN, referring to Ann Romney.

Ann Romney used her first tweet to suggest raising five children amounted to a job.

"I made a choice to stay home and raise five boys. Believe me, it was hard work," she tweeted.

Politicos on both sides of the aisle condemned Hilary Rosen's remarks, including top advisers to President Barack Obama.

I’m not mad at all.

I expect nothing less from a man hating lesbian.

The apology is as bad as the original stupid remark....which she meant absolutely. You just can’t spit out that many words and call it a faux pas.

I think the Rule of Holes applies here, Hilary.

My hat’s off to you! It is such hard work... lots of sacrifice and juggling finances to make that happen, yet very little appreciation in today’s (and yesterday’s) society. I did it myself. My youngest is 24 now. I’ve enjoyed reading your comments. It gives me great hope. Keep it up ladies, and take courage. You are raising a generation that may well save our Republic.

Darn. No matter how much I despise this Rosen person, I wish ‘Pubbies had the balls she does.

Imagine a Republican responding this way to race pimp, gay mafioso, or NAG?

That is not what happened when The Wookie left her high paid job... so important was it that no-one replaced her

On top of that, doesn't her mother live with them and help with the kids?

Obama may have lost some of his female gender voters over this. Let’s hope so.

I still think Mitt Romney is an evil SOB though.

I think he's an Etch-a-Sketch. Conservatives need to etch some CONSERVATIVE marching orders on his screen.

I think we need to turn this right back around on the DEMS - are they so unfeeling as to attack an MS victim for not holding a second job? Talk about heartless!

Has Michelle Obama ever held a job outside the home? I’m not talking about that phony job she had with that Chicago hospital where she was paid 300 gs for not showing up. If she hasn’t, does anyone think that the Dems wouldn’t attack any conservative who said she never worked outside the house? Freaking hypocrites.

She then said, “Oh, I mean a REAL job.”

If someone said this to Mrs WBill, it would be ugly. :-)

To be honest, she likely saves us more money by staying home, than what she'd make if she were "externally employed". So many of the people I work with would be much better off with getting by on only one salary, and skipping the Daycare, fancy clothes, commuting expenses, daily starbucks, daily lunches, after work beers, and so on and so on....

For instance, a bunch of people in my office pay to have their laundry done. Nothing fancy, no dry cleaning or large items (like what we occasionally take to the dry cleaners), they just pay by the pound to have someone stuff their laundry in a machine and press "start". Sez me, when you're so "busy" with work that you can't manage a task as simple as that without outsourcing it to the tune of 20, 30 or 50 bucks a week, then you need to re-evaluate your life. :-)

It ain’t bringing me to Romney. He can take his Etch-A-Sketch and stick it where the sun don’t shine!

I think he is evil as well. My husband cant. stand. him. We do not want to vote for him at all and are torn to shreds over the future of our country.

I also heard on the news today she had breast cancer.
Ok. I know she is uber rich. I couldn’t even afford her garbage, got it.
But I cannot stomach people calling her out for being a wife and mother.

Rosen, Fluke, Stephanopolous, Axelrod, and Obama are all behind this hit job or war on women. I'm a guy and it is transparent as glass. I'm so angry at these sanctimonious morons that I could eat rusty nails!

Just who do these pompous jackasses think they are. Women should be marching on the White House with torches, pitch forks, tar and feathers. The they could run the feathered Zer0 out of DC on a split rail fence section.
