CNN's Campbell Brown Rails Against McCain's Sexist Treatment of Palin

2008-10-31T03:30:01Z

CNN anchor Campbell Brown ripped into the McCain campaign for its sexist treatment of Sarah Palin. Brown accused the McCain camp of treating Palin like "a delicate flower" for refusing to allow Palin to hold press conferences or field questions from reporters during her UN meetings yesterday. (h/t Jezebel)

I was already impressed with Brown last month when she stuck it to McCain toady Tucker Bounds when he was unable to speak to Palin's "foreign policy credentials." Here's hoping we see more rants like this one!

FOX Edits Criticism of Palin Out of Tina Fey SNL Clip

2008-10-30T21:30:09Z

Last Sunday morning, "Fox and Friends" took Tina Fey's devastating Saturday Night Live impression of Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin and cut it down to a clip innocuous to Palin while skipping over other clips more critical of Palin as I show in this video.

Barack Obama and John McCain - Sexism

2008-10-31T22:44:47Z

Many people accuse Barack of being a sexist. But they fail to look at John McCain's actions. Whenever I ask people why Barack is sexist, they tell me something about the DNC or news pundits that don't even work for Barack Obama. But never anything directly from Obama. But McCain there is clear documented evidence of his sexism. So why the double standard?

am/not feminist

2008-12-02T22:33:08Z

I do understand that there are many people who are feminists in all but name - and that in critical circles it is a debated term of identity...that said...I am still befuddled...

---
Abigail Adams: If particular care and attention is not paid to the ladies, we are determined to foment a rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any laws in which we have no voice or representation.

Anna Quindlen: It's important to remember that feminism is no longer a group of organizations or leaders. It's the expectations that parents have for their daughters, and their sons, too. It's the way we talk about and treat one another. It's who makes the money and who makes the compromises and who makes the dinner. It's a state of mind. It's the way we live now.

Maureen Reagan: I will feel equality has arrived when we can elect to office women who are as incompetent as some of the men who are already there.

Rebecca West: I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is: I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat, or a prostitute.1913

McCain Adviser: It Can Be "Accurate" to Call a Woman a "Bitch"

2008-10-18T21:30:21Z

From Think Progress:

During yesterday’s Democratic primary coverage, CNN senior analyst Jeff Toobin criticized a New York Times column that published a joke about Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) being a “white bitch.” “I think it’s appalling, but I think she’s absolutely right that there has been a level of sexism,” said Toobin. But CNN contributor Alex Castellanos, who is also an adviser to Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) campaign, disagreed, saying that some women deserve to be called a “bitch”:

If I can disagree, I think you’re dead wrong. She’s dead wrong. And I think she thinks her problem is she’s a woman. Her problem is she’s Hillary Clinton. And some women, by the way, are named that and it’s accurate.

TPM Election Central’s Greg Sargent writes, “What’s amusing about this is that Castellanos actually argued that it’s sometimes accurate to call a woman a “bitch” as a way of making the claim that Hillary was wrong to argue that there’s sexism in our political coverage. Pretty twisted stuff.”
