MSNBC Guest Calls Ann Romney 'Insufferable', Her Mother's Day Op-Ed 'Creepy'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 05/13/2012 7:41:04 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Snark on, Michelle! On the MSNBC show "Up With Chris Hayes" this morning, feminist author Michelle Goldberg attacked Ann Romney as "insufferable" and derided a phrase in Ann's op-ed on the subject of motherhood as "creepy."

Goldberg's "insufferable" shot drew approving laughter from the all-feminist panel. And surely the attacks on the Romneys for their traditional family values will play well with a certain segment of the electorate. The problem for President Obama: that segment is one that is already almost entirely in his camp. But these sort of mean-spirited attacks are likely to alienate the very voters in the middle that PBO needs to persuade.

Every day, it’s getting harder for the MSM to cover up the true nature of the Left.

If I were to use the word “creepy” in describing a person, it would better fit the two women I saw in that video than Ann Romney. As an example, toward the end, she used the word “authoritarian”. If anything, these women are themselves poster women for authoritarian thinking. Either you agree with them, or they’ll publicly destroy you.

These people are sick...just like Obama is sick.

And it’s on display for the whole world to see.

Most Americans will and are rejecting these folks, and I pray it leads to a landslide defeat of Obama in November, one of Regeanesque proportions.

Disgusted that Mitt will be our candidate, but your enemies can serve to define you upward.

Like a freakin' clock, the liberals advertise what they are about to do, by accusing the Republicans or the Conservatives of the offense they are about to commit.

So, when the liberals and Demoncraps started on about the Republican "war on women", I knew this was coming -- that they were about to declare war on our women.

For the full effect, you really need a screen-shot of Goldberg showing that “Vagina Monolgoues” harpy sitting to her right.

I was half-awake as I ran through that video, until those two showed up together on the screen, a sight that was scary enough to shock me into full consciousness.

Those voters don't waste their time watching MSNBC

Agree. But I suspect that people outside California don’t know the meaning of the term ‘fluffer’. She certainly is creepy looking!

Libs simply cannot stand that Republicans/Conservatives raise responsible, independent children. EAT YOUR HEARTS OUT, LIBS! And then go give your kid in the basement another cookie.

Obama and Romney are working to turn this into a Seinfeld election.

A show about nothing.

Ann Romney’s editorial is beautiful. I have all ten of my children home today, and it’s very loud, and I’ve already done three loads of laundry, but I’m happy this is the life God dropped on me.

What is the matter with all these self-hating Jewish women???

Attacking motherhood on Mother’s Day is a new low and certainly reflects poorly on Leftists, including Obama.
