I would agree that it is outrageous the treatment Bachmann and esp. Palin get in the media. I also hear crickets in defending these great women. With that said Palin has my vote. Bachman is needed in Congress.
the same will happen to anyone who is a threat to the won. first they came for Palin, but I was not Palin. then the came for Bachmann, but I was not.... well I think you get my drift.
They have not destroyed Gov. Sarah Palin, they have made her stronger and more powerful than she ever could’ve been otherwise. Yet, they do not realize it.
Sounds like NRO wants conservatives to come to Bachmann's aid NOW to save her so that she can continue to be the establishment's tool to stop Sarah from running. Sorry, not falling for this.
A while ago I mistakenly hit “Reply all” instead of “Reply” on an email and since then have been bombarded by hate mail from a liberal that makes Nancy Pelosi look like Jeane Kirkpatrick. The Left is criminally insane. This being understood, their actions lose their mystery and what you have to do is revealed.
We need to classify this leftist strategy as the ‘Clarence Thomas Treatment’ or something similar. While conservative women are primary target today, the fact is the leftists and media will pull out every possible weapon to destroy any woman or minority who happens to be a conservative. Their lifeblood is the loosely-knit partnership of various gender and ethnic special interest groups, and anything that threatens that coalition is to be destroyed at all costs. I like associating it with Thomas rather than Palin because it takes the passions of recent skirmishes out of the discussion. Most every American is aware of the Thomas USSC hearings circus.
One of my best indicators of Obama’s radicalism was the event at Saddleback during 2008 where he singled out Thomas as the worst supreme court justice. While his record is nearly identical to the usually maligned Scalia, and the two recent Bush appointees who he voted on, he singled out the conservative black Justice in very sharp statements. It was very instructive about Obama and the far left movement.
Amen. I am not an active Sarah for Pres or Michele supporter. I am not convinced SP will run. BUT I do believe the intense and utter hatred for strong, relatively young conservative women IS no accident.
Like Phyllis Schlafly in the last generation, the liberals KNOW the power and respect a woman who is conservative can command. I would LOVE to see a cabal of conservative women go after their attackers.
Star Parker, Michelle Malkin, M.K. Ham, and a whole host of others I am probably forgetting at the moment, ought to form some kind of alliance and make a stand for their politics. Of course they won’t agree on everything—but seeing as the media will stop at NOTHING to destroy any one of them who begins to make headway, it would behoove them to stand together.
And, of course, you agree with this completely? You must, because I've seen you all over FR defending Governor Palin from attacks on so many threads. < /sarc> Alternatively, if you do agree that we should all rush to defend Rep. Bachmann, is it because you see her as less capable of self-defense than is Governor Palin?
You can bet that the Democrats and their friends in the media have a thick folder on every potential 2012 Republican candidate. The one thing we know - they are out of ammo when it comes to Palin. They have tried everything for the past three years and come up empty. If they couldn't find anything in nearly 20,000 e-mails, there's nothing to find.
The left fears and hates strong women, unless they are good little Marxists like Hitlery.
Do not recall anybody at the NRO coming to Palin`s defense.
Should MB follow RP and declare she is not running for re election to the House?
