Help me out here, Democrats. A simple question:

Jen

Senator
Democratic spokespeople slammed Sarah Palin for NOT staying home to raise her 5 kids.

Today a Democratic spokesperson slammed Ann Romney for ("never working a day in her life") staying home with her 5 children.

Which is it?

Spokespeople? Rosen was wrong to bring Ann Romney into the news, but when did she become a spokesperson and not just a democrat with an opinion? Her comment was silly. Who slammed Palin for not staying home to raise her kids?

Senator
Rosen is a Democratic Strategist....... so maybe not "the" spokesperson (I didn't say that anyway) but definitely "a" Democratic spokesperson.

So ............ how come Democrats have it both ways. Damn the mothers who work and then also Damn mothers who stay home with their kids.

And in her phony apology Rosen says "let's stop this phony war"............. hahahaha... the was Rosen herself started.

What a bunch of lame-brains the Democrat operatives are turning out to be.:crazy:

They don't you are once again making sh!t up.

The issue with Palin is HYPOCRISY... claiming one thing and doing another.
ibid Anne Romney - claiming that her job was 'as hard' as that of mother's who HAD TO WORK WHILE raising children.

Rosen is employed by whom? "A" democratic strategist for what campaign, because she doesn't work for Obama.

You still have not answered the question. Who was the democratic spokesperson who slammed Palin for not staying home?

She married into a VERY wealthy family. She never had to work to support herself, or anyone else. Yet Mittens sends her out to tell women who HAVE to work outside the home
that she's "one of them". Just another R-money disconnect from the people who don't just sit and wait for $$$ to come to them...

Hi Jen! can you specifically name which democratic spokespeople attacked Palin for not staying home with the kids? I honestly don't remember reading that in the papers. I'll admit I read it a lot in BB during the campaign, but that's different, people here and on Slate are mean ;o) Hilary Rosen clearly should not have said what she said, it was an insult to stay at home mom's everywhere. Obama was correct in his response to this charge. Where was the republican outrage when cons attacked Michelle? Did Bush or McCain speak out wholeheartedly against it?

Democratic spokes-publication Huffington Post LINK (7/6/11)

women like Palin and Bachmann represent a dangerously regressive form of womanhood: a sort of capitulation to the hierarchical gender norms of yore
Palin and Bachmann are also excellent at embodying the female victim: a woman who works hard to make it on her smarts and hard work but who gets criticized for her looks and scorned as a dumb girl, over and over again.
Larry Flynt LINK
“Sarah Palin is the dumbest thing. But I made a fortune off of her. [He made a porn film called Nailin' Palin, based on her]… She did a disservice to every woman in America. She knew from the first month of pregnancy that kid was going to be Down’s Syndrome. It’s brain dead. A virtual vegetable. She carries it to all these different political events against abortion, she did it just because she didn’t want to say she’d had an abortion. How long is it going to live? Another 12, 15 years? Doesn’t even know it’s in this world. So what kind of compassionate conservative is she?
There were plenty of nasty remarks about her working and leaving her children that were made by pundits on just about every liberal leaning networks. Huffington Post, Larry Flynt are Democratic mouthpieces.

Re-read your top post. You are way off track, based on your original accusation.....and Larry Flynt is far from being a democratic spokesman or strategist.....any more than David Duke is a spokesman and strategist for the RNC....

well, if you're going to point to Huffington post as the leftwing voice of the democratic party (which I'm not disagreeing to btw) then I could probably point to similar nastiness published in World Net Daily, Fox News etc. and we'd be here all night! Stalemate!

Palin was running for VP with a newborn child with special needs (motherly attention would be one of those) and a pregnant, teenaged daughter.

There is such a thing as context.

So Ann Romney has no accomplishments or altruistic aspirations. Who cares? She'll never be First Lady any more than she'll gain Mitt a single vote. He's down to "ABO" voters and that ain't going to change for the better.

Larry Flynt is a spokesman for Democrats? That is one of the worst stretches,ever.

Larry is a Porno King. Has nothing to do with the Obama Admistration.
Trust me I know! Larry started his life of Porn in a bar in Dayton.

The only connection Larry has to the party is when he exposed the two faced Cons who were attacking Clinton. And he sure brought them down. Livingston is one with his 6 affairs. Henry Hyde,etc. All he did was to expose them. He did this bang up job from his wheelchair.

Two people don't speak for everyone....... besides, this is way overblown! Two days, and it will be something else in the news!

Democratic spokesperson? I don't "speak" for the Whole Democratic party Jen, and neither do you for the GOP

That being said, both comments are stupid; women can choose to stay at home or work, they can choose to work and also tend to their kids, BUT one sensibility is NOT allowed to tell the others what is acceptable.

That's true feminism, in case you didn't know, and Betty Friedman certainly was a proponent of this way back in the sixties,

Hillary Rosen USED to be part of the DNC under Dean, not anymore, no more than De-De Myers is part of the DNC, but Karl Rove? no longer part of the GOP? don't you bet on it, his Pac has pledged 100 million to defeat obama and yet that "gas station' called Fox News still has him as a "commentary".

Yup, let's try to bring down the hyprocrisy meter on the GOP side shall we? Walker just signed into law Non-equal pay for women, Brewer just signed into law, legislation that states conception "starts with the menses" two weeks early, are you hearing this?

You want to tell me who has taken the most slings from the GOP? I'll tell you who, African American, Latinos, Seniors, the middle class and Women.

Enough

Obama is gonna win in the fall,

Regards

I think the criticism was about her using her newborn child as a prop, carrying the baby around on stage as a campaign tactic, and that was fair. It wasn't about her having a job and not being a stay at home mom.

Are you making this up? Who is this "Supposed" spokesperson?


I need to know who it is, so I can check to see see if they are actually a Dem or Repub.

Yes she is making it up. Jen has a habit of that. I'm still waiting for her to show us where The Black Panthers were involved in the Martin/zimmerman controversy the way she has claimed in about 1/2 dozen posts.

Well, you know, MV, everyone who reads the news for the MSM is a Democratic strategist.

Same ol' ditto heads. Find what they consider to be the most outrageous thing that any obscure character in the country said on any given day and declare, "This is what all of these people believe!!!!" Sure sign of a full Limbotomy.

I think it dilutes the title of homemaker a bit when one has a staff of domestic workers. I'm guessing we'll have clips of Ann scrubbing pots and pans while Mitt pushes a lawnmower any minute now. Surely she cleans all of the houses by herself, just like any other "stay at home mom" would be doing.

The only thing I care less about than Ann Romney's domestic skills is what someone I never heard of has to say about it.
