Top Obama supporter to Ingraham: Shouldn’t Palin be home taking care of her kids? Update: Media annoyed at GOP criticism

Fair to call him a “top” supporter? Given the fact that he’s a member of The One’s national finance committee and advertises that fact in his HuffPo bio, I’m going with “yes.” His M.O. reminds me of Greenwald trying to rewrite the definition of “chickenhawk” so that it applies to the right but not the left: Start with the smear you want to use, then refine the parameters just enough to protect your own side from the tu quoque. In this case it means replacing the argument that mom should be home with the family with the more highly nuanced argument that any politician of either sex should be home when their family’s in crisis. Bristol’s pregnant and baby Trig has Down’s syndrome and, gosh, don’t you think a responsible mother gender-neutral parent would consider that before doing something as rash as running for high office? To which I reply: Am I hallucinating or isn’t there a guy on the other ticket who had a much worse family crisis than this, who in fact has been praised to the heavens for not quitting his job and instead making a heroic effort to manage both kids and career through hard times? Did I dream that? I could have sworn I heard something about it recently.
All part of the effort to freak-ify her, of course. She’s a bad mom with a chillbilly family better suited to Springer than to network election coverage. That’s why the AP’s including cute little details about school mascots in their stories of how many colleges she attended. And why “respectable” journals of left-wing thought are soliciting pieces from advice columnists. Exit question: Does the left really want to play a game of “children ruined by absentee political parents”? Because I know just the place to start.
Update: Don’t you mind what those conservatives are saying about the press, now. The coverage is fair because, well, we say it is:
After several primetime speakers at this week’s Republican National Convention unleashed a barrage of attacks on the news media for their coverage of vice-presidential nominee Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, network news executives defended their coverage and dismissed the charges as a stale political strategy meant to distract viewers from legitimate election issues.
“It’s a time-honored marketing ploy and, every time they bash the media, it means they’re not talking about a vision or a plan,” CNN president Jon Klein said. “But the best antidote to cynical marketing is solid reporting.”…
“America has been presented with a total unknown who might be a heartbeat away from the presidency,” Klein said of Palin, “and Americans have every right to expect as much information as possible about this person so that they can make an informed choice. Certainly our critics are in favor of Americans making an informed choice, aren’t they?”
What Klein means by “informed choice,” of course, is having his reporters recycle Daily Kos rumors about whether Trig is really Palin’s child and wonder aloud whether the mother of a Down’s baby should really be doing something as selfish as running for vice president.
These morons understand that the public agrees with McCain’s campaign about this, yes?

Ah, let it go. I lost my cool too. He is just some loser trying to drive traffic to his pathetic blog (I fell for it).

So you’re saying that some conservatives believe that, aside from the plumbing, women and men are interchangeable? Yeah okay. And if my grandma had wheels she’d be a wagon. /Scotty
That’s nice.
baldilocks on September 5, 2008 at 6:45 PM
Regarding comments about McCain bringing up his experience as a POW, I don’t think the man is bringing it up every time he speaks some place. (Unlike Rudy who does tend to play the “9-11 card” every time he opens his mouth). But when you’re running a video at the RNC that supposed to tell his life story , how do you omit that part of his life? I mean, it is a pretty unique life-shaping experience that most of us will (thankfully) never have to go through. My opinion is that he’s not bringing it up so much as “look at what a hero I am” but more as a “here’s an experience that had a profound effect on my view of the world”

Ha, hurts to read the truth, huh, alphie. The record is clear on the point.
So tell me, alphie, would winning at any cost include you lying about your neighbor?
Dusty on September 5, 2008 at 6:47 PM
Rick, leave those red eyes alone :)
Ja, wir können! Those translators need watching :)
Entelechy on September 5, 2008 at 6:47 PM
I’d have to say the brave Americans who fought(and won) WWII and didn’t milk the experience afterwards for personal gain, Rick.
alphie on September 5, 2008 at 6:48 PM
I disagree that she’s a freak… but at the same time I don’t know any family with a 17 year old parent. Growing up on the Indiana-Kentucky border, I come from a very conservative part of the country where teenage parents were looked down upon. It’s simply hard for me to relate to her family’s situation. On the other hand, I have incredible respect and sympathy for parents who raise a child with Down’s syndrome. It certainly speaks to her character.
As for the Jerry Springer appearance, that’s actually a very interesting idea. Who would she brawl with, Hillary?
bayam on September 5, 2008 at 6:49 PM
Bang on. Obama says that McCain is focusing on his bio too much. But poeple get it that McCain is relating these stories because he wants them to understand how they will result in the kind of President John McCain will be.
Obama and his camp may be the only ones who dont get it. Even the MSM wont touch this arguement with a 10 foot pole.
Waterboy on September 5, 2008 at 6:51 PM
Go away jerk. I can do this all day.

Is that you Karl Rove? You don’t need to keep shoring up the base buddy, we’re on board.
On second thought, by all means keep at it for the sake of the independents. Every time a “progressive” (*wink* KRYMB) says something this vile a few dozen new conservatives are born.

I have three kids, all adults. All through their teens I was up front about what my dream come true scenario for their lives would be but made sure they could come to me in all situations. Including all forms of birth control/v.d. prevention I am sure I scared them to death with all my dire warnings of what could happen to them. Now my dream come true scenario didn’t work out but everyone is fine. As a matter of fact I’m thinking of paying big to the first one to get married and make me a grandmom. I guess what I am saying you don’t have to be PRO birth control to make sure your kids know but stuff happens.

Waterboy on September 5, 2008 at 6:54 PM
How about Obama milking the black half of his heritage and ignoring the white half as if its something to be ashamed? That bother you?
Elric66 on September 5, 2008 at 6:55 PM
Entelechy on September 5, 2008 at 6:47 PM –
The worst part about it…I learned my German from a German textbook written in Hamburg, in a classroom in Munich, taught by a Swabian from Illertissen (south of Ulm).
Yep, got to pay more attention to those translators.
coldwarrior on September 5, 2008 at 6:55 PM
Dude, you’re officially a tool. Do you have any idea how many of our past Presidents had military experience and undoubtedly quoted that experience to get elected?
Here’s a link for you.
Dagnar on September 5, 2008 at 6:56 PM
Heh, your post brought back an old memory – I once bought a book in Swabisch (sp?) from a second-hand store, and cried for hours after I couldn’t make heads or tails out of it. This, after studying German for 6 years. Felt like an idiot for not being able to tell the difference.
Anna on September 5, 2008 at 6:58 PM
Not at all, Elric.
I do know Obama’s black half bothers about 30% of Americans, though.
Looks like he’s overcome that burden though…
alphie on September 5, 2008 at 6:59 PM
My bet is on Palin being the strongest VP ever. McCain is man enough and if he wins, he will owe her bigtime. Plus he wants her to succeed magnificently if he were to keel over. She could make Al Gore look like the Clinton’s butler after a few years.
econavenger on September 5, 2008 at 6:59 PM
So milking a proud military service if offensive to you but not milking one’s race. Gotcha
Elric66 on September 5, 2008 at 7:01 PM
Regarding the cold and ruthless Sarah Palin, as a right-leaning independent, it is so nice to see that there are some Republicans who care about animals. Most Repubs are fond of calling animal-welfare types loonies. One awesome Republican animal advocate just happens to be Matt Scully, the guy who wrote the knock-out speech for Palin’s big debut.
I wonder if it felt strange at all to Palin, a hunter, having an animal-welfare-ANTI-hunting advocate writing her BIG debut speech?
http://www.matthewscully.com/matthew.htm
http://www.matthewscully.com/sportsman_politics.htm
Maybe Sarah Palin can learn something very valuable from this great speech writer and merciful man, Matt Scully, about being kind and compassionate to God’s creatures!
Shelby on September 5, 2008 at 7:02 PM
Name one. Which you can’t because you don’t realize that heroes are specific people who inspire you and challenge you to move beyond your limits. While the entire military force that worked to defeat our enemies in WWII are worthy of our thanks and praise, as a group they aren’t our heroes.
Mallard T. Drake on September 5, 2008 at 7:04 PM
The definition of sophistry.
You can’t be serious. You are baiting me?
Women – men interchangeable?
Name me one man who has given birth to one human baby. Is that the plumbing you are talking about?
Am I saying that ’some’ conservatives believe ……..
don’t know, there are a lot of conservative who believe a lot of different things. I don’t speak for all conservatives, I speak only for myself.
I might presume that ‘most’ conservatives believe something because it appears to be that way from the interaction I have with ‘many’ people.
Yes, I am conservative, and I do accept the idea that in some circumstances gender has no impact on job/duties/preformance/results, and at the same time there are circumstances where gender does make a difference.
Why do you insist on making it a yes/no true/false choice point? It depends on circumstances, and individuals, and it changes as circumstances change.
rockhauler on September 5, 2008 at 7:04 PM
I’ll have to ponder that while I throw another big, juicy steak on the grill.
Dagnar on September 5, 2008 at 7:05 PM
Nothing wrong with hunting.
Elric66 on September 5, 2008 at 7:05 PM
baldilocks on September 5, 2008 at 6:39 PM
Well unfortunately sometimes your beliefs and decisions are changed by other people, i.e. your own children. Once you have kids you find that things that you thought were just awful (unwed motherhood, gay, drug use) could happen to you and are you willing to be estranged from your child because you are staring that “awful” situation in the face? I was big on the use of guilt and scare tactics but I always knew that any of those things could happen.
Cindy Munford on September 5, 2008 at 7:08 PM
Probably about as strange as it did to Scully writing a speech for a hunter.
Elric66 on September 5, 2008 at 7:08 PM
Shelby on September 5, 2008 at 7:02 PM
Well that depends, I am all for animal welfare but I am not going to give animals human status. I have heard that the slow down in hunting is making the deer population in PA almost dangerous. But let’s not move the thread off the subject.
Cindy Munford on September 5, 2008 at 7:13 PM
If I were a herd animal, I would hope that Sarah Palin would show up before the wolves or mountain lion did.
NellE on September 5, 2008 at 7:14 PM
Let’s not go all PETA over Palin. She’s a hunter. One shot one kill. Eats the results, uses what can’t be eaten.
PETA won’t even own up to the animal processing facilities they have in the Carolinas where hundreds of animals went without proper feeding, water, and veterinary care for months at a time, or the animals raised in labs suddenly released into the wild where they are eaten alive, literally, but varmints.
Conservatives…we respect the environment, cull stocks that would spread disease and famine among herds, make sure we know how to aim and fire a weapon so the animal is dispatched instantly, and we eat what we harvest and use the rest.
Around here, it is the city folks who come around during deer season and end up bringing in bucks with multiple holes in them, a lot of belly shots, and obvious evidence of the animal struggling before a coup de grace could be accomplished.
No hunters are not bad. Amateur wannabe hunters are indeed very bad.
I don’t think Scully and Palin had any problem over that issue, none at all.
coldwarrior on September 5, 2008 at 7:16 PM
Just so we’re all on the same page here.
You don’t like or support vets that “milk” their war time service experiences for “personal gain” – - does running for public office constitute “personal gain”?
Your heroes are those that fought in WWII (but only the ones that won, and didn’t “milk” it) – - is telling your story to people that are considering voting for you milking it? Also, who are the WWII vets that didn’t win? And, does that mean that you don’t support or like vets from the other wars (WWI, Korea, Vietnam, Gulf War, Iraq, Afghanistan, Cold War, and other conflicts)?
You support the Dem party’s nominees for President (who touts his community organizing, “present” voting record, and campaigning experience) and VP (who constantly “exaggerates” when he gets excited and brags about his intelligence) – - is Obama milking his experiences for personal gain, or is he exempt from that because that only applies to people that served in the military? What about Biden?
Rick on September 5, 2008 at 7:17 PM
You = God’s creature

Dagnar on September 5, 2008 at 7:17 PM
I’m voting for Obama because I think McCain is senile, Rick.

Guess lil alphie has DSM-IV memorized already.

Obama forgets how many states there are. Cant say more than three words with an ahhhh or uuhhhhh. The man cant even remember what position he took last week.
Elric66 on September 5, 2008 at 7:23 PM
Obama is doing more than that. He is actively pushing the idea that poeple should vote for him BECAUSE he is black. The code word of course is Historic Opportunity, but that is the gist of it.
Waterboy on September 5, 2008 at 7:23 PM
A female VP is historic as well. :-)
Elric66 on September 5, 2008 at 7:25 PM
To some of us, these things actually did happen.

Bwwwaaaaaahahahahahah.
You apparently know nothing about controlling animal populations. PETA is all for spaying and neutering cats and dogs right? Why?
You ever hear of mad cow disease? What do they do with the infected cows? They kill them so they don’t infect the whole herd.
Hunting is no different, the larger the herd the likelier the chance for disease. Your against hunting, so you’d rather they just die off all together. So for you to call us anti- animal is just stupid. And meat does taste really great.

Oh wait, alphie, weren’t you also of the opinion that Edwards was being framed on that whole affair thing? Something along the lines of:
Rick on September 5, 2008 at 7:31 PM
baldilocks on September 5, 2008 at 7:26 PM
Of course they did. And it could happen to me at any minute. My point is that there are things you think you believe until it slams you right in the face. I’m just don’t think it makes you a hypocrite. It makes you short sighted and maybe overly optimistic. But just because all of those things CAN be a reality, I didn’t stop telling my kids that it wasn’t the way to go. (Not the gay thing because I don’t think that’s a decision but ssshh, I don’t want to get in a fight). And I do think that Dems went too far in saying that women were the same as men but like any idea the fanatics usually go off the deep end and speak in nothing but absolutes. I don’t think either side does that too much anymore.
Cindy Munford on September 5, 2008 at 7:34 PM

If you could provide an actual link to an Edwards-baby daddy thread where I commented…I’ll let you know.

My first experience with him/her. Have you ever seen a picture of PETA’s diggs in Norfolk, VA. Those crazy folks have a LOT of money.
Cindy Munford on September 5, 2008 at 7:36 PM
Amazingly enough, alphie may have a point. One’s race is not something you can choose. You get what you get. Military service is usually not compulsory – usually you choose to suit up.
Obama’s skin color is a natural advantage, and he can do what he wills with it. Much like a well-endowed woman can use her looks to her own advantage.

Oh you believe in God?
Well, allow me to enlighten you with some literature!
Read Acts 11:7-8
While you’re at it, Read the Pentateuch a few times so you can catch all the portions where God commands the sacrifice of an animal.
This isn’t the PETA forums.
leetpriest on September 5, 2008 at 7:40 PM
I work in development, and many projects that I am involved in in developing countries have a Gender component. The advisors that handle this are actual Gender Experts trained in bringing more women into decision making at all levels of government and through society as a whole. They would always say to me that the message is NOT that women are the SAME as men, but that they are EQUAL to men. They make a specific point everytime they engage the local male population at the village level that they are not saying women are the same, but rather should be treated as equals.
Seems a straightforward distinction, but as you pointed out, the idea that some women are pushing the ideal that there is no difference between women and men, their respective roles in society, etc., goes against what I have learned from these Gender Experts.
Waterboy on September 5, 2008 at 7:41 PM
I don’t think that it’s hypocritical to believe that it’s better to have mom at home when her girls are growing up, but at the same time, yielding to reality.
What’s hypocritical: saying that it was wrong to have those beliefs in the first place–not because of new received information, but because of who is doing the criticizing.
Here’s a different, less incendiary example. Do I think it’s wrong to speed? Yes. Do I sometimes speed on the freeway because of how fast all other cars are going and I don’t want to die? Yes. Do I sometimes speed because I’m late for a very important date? Yes.
But that doesn’t mean that speeding is right.

What these PETA folks don’t seem to understand is that if animals had 1.) Better cognitive skills, 2.) an opposable thumb, and 3.) a shotgun, they’d be hunting our ass. I order all of them to a remedial viewing of “Planet of the Apes”.
Dagnar on September 5, 2008 at 7:43 PM
You know, I love the deer (a la bambi), and I could never, ever kill an animal. If I had to kill to eat I’d probably be a vegetarian.
However, I do not condemn people who hunt. They hunt and they live off of the meat. Good for them. Some people in my state would not be able to feed a family if they didn’t hunt. They do that and they stay off of welfare. In fact, that would be the thing they would never do and that is depend on someone else to take care of their family.
However, if I had young children and had no other way to feed them I guess I’d have to (at least have my husband do it.) I can’t even fish, but I like to eat fish.
I think God gave us these animals to use. I wish it was always done humanely, but these peta nuts are crazy. They would be happy if all the humans were shot and the animals ran the earth and ate each other.
alphie: nice of you to think of voting next time – I’m afraid there might not be a next time if obama get’s in. That’s how worried I am about this nut who is friends with the chicago machine and terrorists.
I know I’m off topic, sorry.
Bambi on September 5, 2008 at 7:49 PM
Too right. There is this deer that I see on the side of the highway at least once a week. I mean, what is his problem anyway? I swear he is stalking me.

Nah, probably just a liberal deer. He’ll jump in front of your car, get hit, and then sue your ass. Then he’ll try to collect workers comp because it happened at his job site.
Dagnar on September 5, 2008 at 8:02 PM
In this respect, Sarah Palin is just barely qualified for the Vice Presidency. Five children may be the most we can expect from ordinary married couples, but Palin and the other candidates should be held to a higher standard.

They’re operating from envy and not going to the trouble of trying to hide it.
We all have principles (well most of us). Because we’re human, we sometimes fail to live up to them or have to yield in the face of reality. That doesn’t mean that we should discard those principles or pretend as if they were wrong or that we never had them subsequent to when we fail/fall short.
And for the record judging from their admirable behavior in the face of choices made, the Palins, I think, recognize this. It’s many of their supporters (of which I am one) who don’t. And that’s who I’m talking to.
baldilocks on September 5, 2008 at 8:07 PM
If that’s the case, I may go and re-enlist for the ARNG and volunteer for riot control.
One could only hope that Alphie leads that riot.
Oh and Alphie:

So, being an elected governor with an 86% approval rate, defeating a major GOP player in the primary by a hefty margin, defeating a sitting Dem governor, having a known history of destroying the old boy network and nailing corruption and managing a $15 billion dollar budget…isn’t a qualification for VP?
The idea of a citizen civil servant harkens back to the Constitution and the Founding Fathers…private citizens serving their Nation. Professional politicians was NOT what the Founders had in mind. Not one bit.
That’s what makes this “Shouldn’t Palin be home taking care of her kids?” argument so obscene.

I think what’s even more obscene is how hypocritical the liberals are when it comes to assaulting families.

Actually, Good Sir, you were the one to originally expose that. All credit goes to you, my friend.

Oospie CNN I believe she said she sold the PLANE on E-bay.

I guess all of the starlets with nose-jobs now have to sit down and shut up since they aren’t using their God given looks.

When the Left gets into the finer points of semantics (how many angels can fit on the head of a pin) and loses sight of the overall picture…well, they’ve already lost. We just have to drive the bayonet in deeper, or let them fall more heavy on their swords.
Governor Palin offered the aircraft on Ebay. The final bid was not sufficient, perhaps did not meet the reserve. When selling high-ticket items the Ebay seller has the right to withdraw the item. The aircraft was sold. Considering the overhead/expense involved with maintinaing that aircraft, and depreciation (mentioned earlier) and age– aircraft have a huge depreciation compared to your average car — the net result was a win for the taxpayers of Alaska.
The idiots over at CNN and a few other outlets are still getting day-old talking points from Media Matters it seems.

Shoot! Well you add that to the Walter Reed Middle School picture and I guess the ticket should just bow out.

Marketing? WTF do voters care about marketing? This nitwit is actively engaged in a battle against some demons that he thinks the RNC has invented, solid evidence that he carries an “us and them” position into his work, where CNN is the us and the GOP is the them.
Thanks Klein, for confirming what we all already know.

Can somebody Text Lucifer and ask him what the weather down there is like?

It’s a bunch of horse-crap. Some in the media are trying to get cute with this one….
She never said she sold the plane on EBay, she said she put it on EBay, and she did.
It never sold through Ebay though, and was later sold directly to a private buyer.

He just replied saying “Feels like an Alaskan Winter”

It was the email I sent her, I am sure of it. LOL!

One week…just one week…since America met Governor Palin.
Obama has been officially campainging for over 19 months.
Morning in America is starting to look sweet.

I know! (Monica from Friends voice). I cannot believe I saw CNN do a 2-3 minute story on the McCain backdrop like it was anything at all. Did they talk about the Greek Columns that were talked about all over right-leaning blogs for days? Noooo (John Balushi voice).
Maybe that is the new MSM strategy to derail the increased momentum of the McCain ticket: death by a thousand meaningless cuts.
More too come I am afraid. Tomorrows edition: CNN reports that McCain erroneously refers to his captivity in NORTH Vietnam…a country that no longer exists.
Waterboy on September 5, 2008 at 8:37 PM
I went from , I am not voting for McCain, to holding my nose and voting for McCain, to STOKED about voting for McCain/Palin. Life is good.
Cindy Munford on September 5, 2008 at 8:39 PM
she actually made a profit on the sale, if the radio interview i heard from alaska is true (have no reason to doubt it)
Spirit of 1776 on September 5, 2008 at 8:40 PM
Goes on to say “you can’t do it all”. She needs to know as a citizen if she is going to put her country first or her children first.
WTH Did anyone ask Obama this???
artchick on September 5, 2008 at 8:40 PM
Well, CNN says no profit was made. Who ya gonna believe, CNN or your own lyin ears?
