Owner59 -> RE: Clinton aides: Palin treatment sexist (9/4/2008 9:48:19 AM)
|
Hillary's aids/defenders did say that the press was unfair.More than once.
Did the cons pipe up then?
The press shrugged it`s shoulders and the cons used the blurbs to hammer Obama`s camp,as is they had anything to do with it.
The cons were quite happy to have Hillary treated poorly by the press,when it suited them.Not once did they say anything or state they thought is was wrong.But this was before Palin.
Now,.... the cons are all over the press.Like they woke up and saw the light.In reality though,it`s for selfish political reasons,not altruistic ones.They would be taking advantage of Hillary`s sex in the worst most ugly ways.Like they have/are using Obama`s background against him.
I think the press has been focusing on the superficial and not the woman`s past/present positions,as they also did with Hillary.
But on the other hand,when someone asks about AOsex-ed, contraception or"abortion,the cons seem to bring the focus to her by saying"leave her personal life out of it".A very clever use of her gender and "situation"by making her a victim(themselves) and distracting the focus away from her extreme positions regarding those important social issues.
I`m getting tired of hearing,"Oh ,so the woman choose life and wants to see her daughter get hitched,"etc.etc. when asked about her own policy/feelings and how she would govern.
Great way to avoid answering the tough questions that would be asked of any candidate of any gender.
Though she shouldn`t get different treatment because she`s woman,she shouldn`t get a pass either.
If her name was Sam Palin,I would still want to know how they felt.
It`s clear that McPalin is trying to have it both ways,as are her defenders here(cept Thad,he rocks).
I think normal folks who are looking,will see this too.
The McCons need to be just as careful not to play a gender card.
