It appears the left wing media a.k.a. MSM is going into full time attack mode on Governor Palin.  Lets start with Dowd a longtime feminista at the New York Times, she goes over the top:

when the two-year governor of an oversized igloo becomes commander in chief after the president-elect chokes on a pretzel on day one …

the former beauty queen shaking out her pinned-up hair, taking off her glasses, slipping on ruby red peep-toe platform heels that reveal a pink French-style pedicure, and facing down Vladimir Putin in an island in the Bering Strait. Putting away her breast pump, she points her rifle and informs him frostily that she has some expertise in Russia because it’s close to Alaska. “Back off, Commie dude,” she says. “I’m a much better shot than Cheney.”

I guess we are now seeing the second confirmed cases of Palin Derangement Syndrome.(Hat Tip: Malkin)  Colmes claiming she is the grandmother of her fifth child may be the first case. It appears that demeaning Republican women is a cottage industry in media.  Carlin attacked Barbara Bush by calling her a ‘Silver douche bag’. Senator Thompson’s wife was called a stripper by MSNBC.  The instances of nastiness toward Nancy Reagan are too numerous to go into, and Senator Hutchinson was attacked by Al Franken who made sexual references regarding the Senator.  The worst are the feminists who attack the women who do not agree with their anti-family, anti-male agenda.

If a woman is against killing her own offspring the people from NOW, Planned Parenthood, MSM, and left end of the blog-sphere will be coming for you.  You will be dehumanized,  mocked, and slandered because you have sold out.  This is not tolerated by the sisterhood.  The cult of tolerance finds conservatives, especially conservative women, intolerable.

In Malkin’s recent column, “The Four Stages of Conservative Female Abuse” she says:

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, Democrat 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.

This is spot on. For example there are is Sally Quin of newsweek:

My first reaction was shock. Then anger. John McCain chose a running mate simply because she is a woman and one who appealed to the Republican’s conservative evangelical base. Now, with news that Palin’s 17-year-old unmarried daughter is pregnant, McCain’s pick may not even find support among “family values” voters.

Thanks Sally, us folks in the evangelical base just love being dismissed by important people like you.  While we do not support Palin’s daughter for getting pregnant, we do support the reaction to the mistake.  Keep the baby, get married, take responsibility.  Your end of the political spectrum would instead advocate not ‘punishing Bristol’ and murdering the baby instead. Then comes your ‘Fathers Knows Best’ fifties vibe:

Evangelical women also will have to decide if they will vote against their conscience by voting to put the mother of young children in a job outside the home that will demand so much of her time and energy.

Would you even care to mention this if Palin where an abortion propent running on the Democrat ticket?  Interesting how staying home even finds its way onto the radar screen when the woman in question does not share your world view.

Finally there comes the risible:

The calculation on the part of the McCain people is clear. Palin’s candidacy could draw some of the 18-million Hillary Clinton voters who are not happy she lost and who want to vote for a woman on a national ticket.

You mean McCain is playing politics, while campaigning for political office? This is unheard of!  Imagine that a politician would pick a running mate in order to help himself get into office.  That is unforgivable!  Its almost as bad as a candidate of change picking the ultimate Washington insider in order to trowel on a layer of experience onto a ticket whose nominee has 150 days in the Senate.

Andrea Peyser, from the NY Post, has noted the avalanche of misogyny, the “why don’t you stay home” and responds:

When Joe Biden tragically lost his wife and infant daughter in a car wreck in 1972, not a single colleague, friend or competitor advised him to quit his newly won Senate seat to raise his two little surviving sons.

Biden is a guy, AND, more importantly he is not a conservative.  Since he is not a traitor to the screaching sisterhood, he can keep his job.  Peyser notes:

If Sarah Palin, tapped as John McCain’s running mate, were a man, it’s unlikely we’d even be having this conversation. (A man, or a Democrat.)

One of the beautiful things about being a leftist is you never have to say sorry.  Hypocrites like these fail to see the irony of telling a woman in 21st century America that she needs to stay home in order to care for the kids.

Susan Reimer from the Baltimore Sun asks, “Why this woman?”  Maybe because Hillary Clinton was a non-starter for the Republican party, Sue?  Reimer huffs:

He seems to think that my girlfriends and I are so disappointed that an utterly qualified woman is not going to be president that we will jump at the chance to vote for an utterly unqualified woman for vice president.

Actually no Reimer, McCain thinks that Palin is a woman with more qualifications to run than Barak Obama. Palin is more conservative than McCain, this will fire up the Republican base.  That she is a woman is a nice twist, because no one is thinking that a pedantic ideologue such as yourself is going to break ranks with the sisterhood, but independent woman might.  In short, its not about you, Sue.
