i’m glad there’s a double standard

If I were only held to the behavioral standards that the hate-filled mud-slingers on the left hold themselves, I’d be disgusted.
The media might think they’re helping Obama, but they’re really hastening their own demise - their bias (which is not a word that adequately describes their behavior) and water-carrying is so blatantly obvious, that any advantage they get by misreporting, or not reporting, or simply fabricating, evaporates as a consequence of the revulsion most Americans feel when they are treated like idiots and told what to do.
As Beth says, keep it up.
Andrea Mitchell is surpassing her own low standards, and the others are not far behind - what would feminists make of their ‘concern’ that Sarah Palin is ‘taking on too much’? Not a lot, probably - the feminists tend to have a great deal less to say in defense of conservative women than their lefty sisters.
A living illustration that Marxist identity politics is still, when you get right down to it, first and foremost about the Marxism.

Got an interview (more like an exchange) between Megyn Kelly and Liz Trotta. Trotta tried to make the same argument, but Megyn Kelly wasn’t letting her get away with it.

They’re also making McCain/Palin’s arguments for them. Let’s take them at their word. Having a couple kids and being in your first term in a major office means you’re taking on too much for the Vice Presidency. . . an office about which John Adams once remarked “the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived or his imagination conceived.”
How in the hell is Barack Obama, a man in his first Senate term with a family of two children at all ready to take on the Presidency of the United States of America? If Sarah Palin is “taking on too much” in becoming the tie-breaking vote in the Senate, Barack Obama is in forty feet over his head in becoming the commander-in-chief of the most powerful army in the free world, in becoming Caesar on matters brought to him from the Congress, with the sole yay or nay on laws that impact a nation of 300 million, in becoming the benefactor of the next justices of the Supreme Court.

This feminist says the hell with Andrea Mitchell and you go Sarah Palin! I am sick and tired of the ugly sexism the Obama campaign, DNC and the media unleashed on Hillary and I will not tolerate any more of the same against Palin.

[...] Martin illustrates that identity politics is all about the Marxism. That’s not entirely accurate; it’s a battle between the Trotskyites and the Stalinites (your guess on which are the PUMAs and which are the ObamiNation are as good as mine). [...]
