4 stages of female abuse
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By that lovable sweetheart, Michelle Malkin...
There's something about outspoken conservative women that drives the left mad. It's a peculiar pathology I've reported on for more than 15 years, both as a witness and a target. Thus, the onset of Palin Derangement Syndrome in the media, Democratic circles and the cesspools of the blogosphere came as no surprise. They just can't help themselves.
Liberals hold a special animus for constituencies they deem traitors. Minorities who identify as social and economic conservatives have left the plantation and sold out their people. Women who put an "R" by their name have abandoned their ovaries and betrayed their gender. As female Republican officeholders and female conservative public figures have grown in number and visibility, so has the progression of Conservative Female Abuse. The astonishing vitriol and virulent hatred directed at GOP Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is the most severe manifestation to date.
The first stage of Conservative Female Abuse by the left is infantilization. Right-wing women can't possibly believe what they say they believe about the sanctity of life, self-defense, free markets or foreign policy. They must be submissive little dolls of the White Male Hierarchy. Or, as a far-left (Is there any other kind of left in San Francisco?) San Francisco Chronicle columnist wrote of first lady Laura Bush, they must be put in their place as "docile doormats" with no brains of their own. True to form, no sooner had John McCain announced Gov. Palin as his veep pick than jeers of "Palin = neocon puppet" sprouted across the Internet.
The second stage of CFA is sexualization. A conservative woman is not merely a sellout. She is an intellectual prostitute. Unable or unwilling to argue with them on the merits, detractors resort to mocking the physical appearance of their ideological opponents in skirts and denigrating them with vulgar epithets. MSNBC hosts insulted former GOP presidential candidate Fred Thompson's accomplished wife and mother of two, Jeri Thompson, as working the stripper pole. Newspaper cartoonists Ted Rall, Pat Oliphant and Jeff Danziger have caricatured Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, including as a mammy, thick-lipped parrot and a Bush "House *****" armed with "hair straightener." New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd derided former Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris, a Republican, for applying "her makeup with a trowel."
True to form, Dowd was first out of the box to snicker at Gov. Palin's beauty pageant past, ridicule her "beehive and sexy shoes" and compare her path to the vice-presidential nomination as a "hokey chick flick." Joe Biden backhandedly praised her as "good looking." And left-wing bloggers worked overtime on lurid Photoshops of Palin as a bikini model and porn star. At the Democratic Underground, a highly trafficked liberal website raising money for Barack Obama, members held a contest to come up with nicknames and posters to slime GOP Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin -- and then to "spread [them] all over the 'Net." Among the nicer entries: "Cruella," "Gidget," "Governor Jesus Camp," "VPILF," "Fertilla the Huntress," "Iditabroad" and "KILLER PYSCHO FUNDIE B***H FROM HELL!!"
The third stage of CFA is demonization. When the left tires of hurling whore insults, it turns conservative women in the public eye into nefarious creatures. Bill Maher called Laura Bush "Hitler's dog." George Carlin attacked Barbara Bush as "the Silver douche bag." A Huffington Post website member wrote of Nancy Reagan: "Like her evil husband, she has lived far too long. Here's hoping the hag suffers for several weeks, then croaks in the tub." Another commenter added: "I feel no pity for the bitch who took delight in watching thousands die of a horrible disease and watching the poor having to eat out of dumpsters because of her husband's political beliefs."
True to form, rumors of Palin being a crypto-Nazi surfaced on the Internet and in the fringe media. And liberal critics used her gun-rights record to smear her as bloodthirsty.
The final stage of CFA is dehumanization. Conservative women aren't real women according to the liberal feminist establishment's definition. Remember when Gloria Steinem called Texas Republican Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison a "female impersonator"? Or when curdled NOW leader Patricia Ireland instructed Democrats to vote only for "authentic" female political candidates? Or when Al Gore's fashion consultant Naomi Wolf described the foreign-policy analysis of Jeane Kirkpatrick as being "uninflected by the experiences of the female body"?
Echoing the bottom-feeders in the liberal blogosphere, mainstream journalists and Obama water-carriers now question Palin's commitment to motherhood and even challenge her prenatal care decisions in an effort to destroy her. Forget about questioning their patriotism. I question their sanity.

Michelle Obama said that. She introduced her husband as "My Baby Daddy" back in 04 and that's where that comes from. I couldn't believe it when I heard her say it. I know it was just a joke, but it came across wrong.
When Obama won his Senate seat in 2004, at the victory party, Michelle introduced him to the crowd as 'my baby's daddy. ...

Yes - because that makes it ''okay''.
Look, Malkin is a totally crazed maniac. Look at this post from her blog:

Hey - Michelle Obama said it.
I don't know about sharing views with or what that really means. It's an interesting read because it's true. I don't know what Kos is and I don't know what Huffpo is. They both sound like a machine OS or characters in a Harry Potter book. She might be a wacko, I don't know, but even the looniest person can be the smartest person in the world for a time.

It means - it would be like someone C & P'ing a rambling by David Koresh. You can see on her blog I linked to, she is not a sane or rational person. She is a lunatic.
The DailyKos and the Huffington Post are what her story is about - the liberal blogosphere. Her points are delusional. She isn't using stories written by writers of the blogosphere - she is digging in the ''comment sections''.

These are the comment sections, not the blog or articles themselves. Virtually every day I see death threats against Obama in Politico's comment sections - or pictures of gorilla's with Michelle or Barack's face photoshopped in and the like. I don't pretend those comments belong to anyone besides who they belong too.
Malkin is a liar, a bigot, a loser, and a complete and total whackjob and I'd be embarrassed to reprint her crap.
Ya know, "frerottenextelway", you're acting just like Malkin says some folks act when presented with a non-left-wing woman...

The point still stands even if it is a tabloid. The barrage of images and talk of scandals is repeated ad nauseum so that the media can convince regular folks that there is some validity to their presentation of the issues.
It's the old addage that if it is said enough, then it is true...regardless of the truth.

Just a side note... Have either of you read the US Weekley article? Both are assuming it is a hatchet job on Palin. Not that i'm an expert on this but when a celeb agrees to pose for the cover they usually have some type of control over the story line. If this ends up being a puff piece on her what happens to your thory then?

Maybe because the more I hear from McCain and his Trophy Vice,
the more I think we'd just end up with four more years of Bush's
crap. Yeah, I didn't like what Obama and his minions did to Hillary,
but what's the alternative? I think Hillary was more qualified than
Obama is, but as far as political philosophy, both are basically the
same and both agree with most of what I am in favor of, as compared
to McCain and especially Palin. If I had reservations about McCain,
Palin sealed the deal. So it comes down to who is going to implement
policies I am in favor of vs those I'm against. And Obama wins on
that hands down.
I think you want to vote for Obama because he's half black.
