Daily Kos: "Michele Bachmann thinks there may be sexism at work after all..."

Submitted by mbrock49 on Sun, 11/27/2011 - 2:55pm

You can tell a Republican woman running for office is getting desperate when she plays the sexism card.

See, while she's doing well in the polls, raising plenty of money, and even convincing her party to take her seriously, there's no such thing as sexism. Nope. There's no such thing as sexual harassment, there's no such thing as a wage gap and there's no way a woman running for president might be subjected to unfair bias, by her opponents or the media. Leave the complaints of sexism to Democratic women, because you won't find a tough-as-acrylic-nails Mama Grizzly whining about that stuff. And god forbid any women's advocacy organizations point out and criticize sexism on their behalf; they need that kind of support "like a fish needs a bicycle."

Bachmann & Palin

Two stalwarts representing the Women of the GOP. As I said earlier, they're either bat-shit crazy, incompetent to govern or both.

Here in NC, of course, we have our own little diva, Cherie Berry. Another Republican government-hater slopping at the public trough, taking a big fat paycheck for doing nothing all day every day.

Do good. Be nice. Have fun.

The closing sentence is a killer:

When you run for office on an anti-woman platform, in the anti-woman party, appealing to anti-woman voters, you really shouldn't be surprised when it turns out they don't like voting for women.

This is why I want to see 100 Great Women running for families and for the freedom of choice.

Do good. Be nice. Have fun.

Grotesque sexism against MB

When you play a song "Lying Ass bitch" for any female, then that is the most grotesque form of sexism against any public female figure.
The premise of the Daily Worker Kos piece (funded by George Soros) is that sexism against a conservative Republican woman is impossible. Prima facie, it is clear that exactly the reverse is the case and the entire Daily Worker Kos thesis is a political lie.

That's not the premise

The premise is, Bachmann is a flip-flopper. She claims sexism doesn't exist, until it becomes convenient for her.

And by the way, Derek, anybody who could say this:

Clinton is a plain and dreary looking woman. Bachmann is a beautiful woman.

Is the last person who should be complaining about sexism.

Get out much?

The premise of the Daily Worker Kos piece (funded by George Soros) is that sexism against a conservative Republican woman is impossible.

  • Daily Kos is a business funded by advertising and lifetime memberships.
  • The diary in question says nothing about sexism against a conservative Republican woman.
  • The diary in question asserts that Michele Bachmann has claimed throughout this campaign that sexism is a thing of the past - no longer relevant - until she discovered that her chances are in the toilet and that claiming sex discrimination might work to her advantage.

You're welcome to write whatever you want here, but don't expect to get a pass just because you can use big words.
