What a dumb thing to say.

Now you can call me a man-hater, too.


Not you personally, but MSNBC news and the liberal establishment have gotten away with very misogynistic remarks when it comes to Bachman and Palin that the right would never get away with if it were a liberal female politician.

I don't care what you think of her IQ. What mattered to me was that she stuck up for American taxpayers and those of us that are forced to bear the burden for other peoples decisions. She drew a hard line against anchor babies and politicians seeking to give the country away in exchange for immigrant votes, at a time when too many on the right were more than happy to accept the hidden high costs of so called "cheap" labor.
And when the confederates saw Jackson standing fearless as a stone wall the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

That's news to me.

Got quotes to back up this claim? (Keep in mind that Bill Maher is neither on MSNBC nor part of any "liberal establishment.")

I'm calling BS until I see proof.

MSNBC playing Pink's song, "Stupid Girl," as an intro into talking about Sarah Palin.

Obama had no problem taking his large campaign donations.

When, and which MSNBC show was it? I don't think this ever happened.


Still waiting for examples of "misogynistic remarks" about Palin and Bachmann.

Not a shred of truth in this statement. Bill Maher gave a million dollars to an independent PAC, over which a candidate legally is not allowed to exert any influence. (I don't believe those should be allowed to exist, by the way.)

I only preemptively mentioned Maher (who calls himself a libertarian, by the way) because he's the only one I have heard making dumb comments about Palin that could be rightly construed as misogyny, and I know how conservatives love to try lumping him in with the Democratic Party.

But Bill is not part of any so-called "establishment." He is about as anti-establishment and politically incorrect as it gets.

It was your other wing of the Democratic campaign called CNN,

Remember last November when Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) was disgracefully greeted with the song "Lyin' A-- B--ch" during her appearance on NBC's Late Night with Jimmy Fallon?

On Sunday, Pink's "Stupid Girls" was played before a CNN Sunday Morning piece about former Alaska governor Sarah Palin visiting a Chick-fil-A restaurant to show support for the embattled company.

Imagine such a song being used to introduce any female Democrat. The outrage would be deafening.

Will CNN and Kaye be asked to apologize?

I think this is a good decision. Congress can be so unyielding for those on powerful antipsychotics.
