Will the sexist bashing of Sarah Palin and her daughter, be Obamas downfall?

Question

Americans are disgusted by this kind of dirty politics, why didn't the Obamabots listen to Obama when he said "leave the family and kids out of this."?

Answer 1

Sarah Palin's thousands of babies don't interest me much.  But all the candidates have had their lives opened for scrutiny.  Palins is just.. bizarre.  Makes for an interesting news story.  People talk about it.  I think they should leave the kids names and mistakes out though, and keep to the issues.  

Palin:

Oil company shill (despite claims of being a 'reformer')

Anti-abortion

Anti-g*y rights

Anti-gun control

Anti-Darwinism

Anti-Global Warming (sure sign of an oil company shill)

the list goes on

Answer 2

there is no sexist bashing - you wish there was but sadly these are truths coming to light - not bashing... according to you it is bashing to ask about policy and beliefs, 2 things about which  Obama has had to answer for months...

Answer 3

Nah...

If Obama fails... it's because he someone opened up his suit... and the world saw it's empty.

Answer 4

Sexist bashing?

Surely you aren't saying Obama is making sexist remarks about Palin.

And since when is talking about teenage pregnancy sexist?

Answer 5

No, no more than the swiftboating of John Kerry brought George Bush down.

Answer 6

Who is bashing her?  I am voting for Obama and I think it's a personal issue between Palin's family and the boyfriend's family.

Palin has enough wrong with her, we hardly need to attack her daughter.  I think the Cons are just saying the left keeps attacking the daughter to perpetuate that lie.

Answer 7

The cult of personality is making Obama look bad and he really can't do anything about it--even though, you have to give him credit for at least TRYING the other day.  This sort of lunacy is what made Howard Dean lose the primaries.

Answer 8

Yes I think it might be. At least I hope enough Americans see how wrong it is to attack children.

Answer 9

My tipping point was the Mark Shields comment, "Sarah Palin is Cruel for Exposing Her Daughter to the Hatred and Slanders Which I and My Media Friends Must Now Inflict Upon Her."

Before this point I actually considered Obama separate from this media barbecue.  Instead of objecting strenuously to this treatment of Palin, the silence from Obama is deafening.

Mark Shields should be fired and be ostracized for this comment.  Palin's daughter's situation has NOTHING to do with the fact that her mom is running for Vice-President.  The fact that the media are repeating malicious rumors and casting innuendo at a 17 YEAR OLD MINOR shows that the media are soulless pieces of debris.

Answer 10

Actually, Palin will bring down the McCain campaign. No one wants to vote for someone that's a heart attack away from allowing an inexperience, low state population governor a chance to be President. McCain had a lot of qualified choices for VP and he failed to pick one of them. What happend to Rommey? or Hucklbee? Palin was a small town mayor, small time sportscaster, and an environmental nightmare during an era of "green" energery. Clinton would have been a better pick for McCain!

Answer 11

Cause Obamabots are really The Children Of The Corn.

Answer 12

Well, I am an independent, and to tell you the truth, I could care less about what is said about Sarah Palin.

I am judging Obama vs. McCain.   I do think that Biden is probably a better VP pick than Palin.  I also suspect that Palin was picked mainly because she was a woman.

Now it is a concern that she is so far to the right, but she believes pretty much as McCain does.   And I really doubt that McCain is going to consult her on anything, as she is mostly a prop.

The only thing in her background that makes me pause are some of her stances on the environment and also on women's rights.   And yes it does concern me that she could step into the preisdency if she had to.  At this point, I believe that Biden could.   I don't think Palin could though.  

The decision on who is president is mainly gonna be if people want McCain or Obama.  

I don't think it will matter one bit as far as sexist bashing, etc.  People will put that aside and will vote for the person who they believe will be the best leader of the country, and can start leading them out of all of the problems that are going on.

And I also think that the bashing is not coming from anyone who matters.  

As you will remember, people bashed Obama, saying he was a Muslim, socialist,  etc. even though none true.  You will even see them doing it in answer to this question.  Ha.  

The Republicans pretty much know Obama is going to win the presidency now, and they are falling apart at the seams, and calling the Dems, crazy, etc. It is laughable.

But bashing just kinda comes with the territory I guess.

Answer 13

palin's the one who broke the story to the media, not the dems... and lets not forget she's the one that brought the boyfriend to the rnc... seems she's just fine with having them in the media spotlight.

Answer 14

I would hope that it would be due to the frightening facts that surround this man and his racist wife.  And please, lets not forget the Wright thing.  It's only been quieted, but it's still there waiting for him to reemerge when Obama takes the White House.

Obama’s socialist spending plans are aimed at equalizing wealth; with “hope” and “change”, the exact mantra of Fidel Castro. We will all be equal, equally poor just as they are in Cuba now. Another fellow that has had Obama’s platform was popular in 1917. His name was Valdimir Lenin and we know what a success that was. Obama by the way admits to being an admirer of Karl Marx.

Of course most of Obama’s rhetoric is absolute B.S. Fortunately, if he does manage to become our President, the congress and senate will be able to moderate him just as they did the most incompetent Nancy Pelosi.

Obama is lickin’ his chops over the military budget. He intends to dessimate our military. He doesn’t give a c**p about U.S. security or takin’ the fight to the enemy. He wants to spend that money not save it. He has a bill right now on the floor of the Senate called the “Global Poverty Act”. $300 billion (the same we have spent defending this nation since 9/11) to give to the United Nations to “FEED THE WORLD”. Obama was against the war. He has never said WHY.

What Obama is proposing is socialism and it does not work. It is not my responsibility to feed other nations. It is the responsibility of those nations to feed their people. I could care less if someone who has never been to the United States likes the image portrayed by the Liberal media. As far as giving….the citizens of the United States give more than any government BY FAR including our own. Tsunami victims ring a bell. So who really cares? If liberals donated blood as much as conservatives the blood supply would increase 50%. Conservatives donate money at an even higher rate compared to Liberals. And when it comes to getting off the couch and actually donating time…24 to 1. Mostly Christian Conservatives. So when hurricane Katrina hit and you saw on TV all those volunteers who came out to help, for every 25 people in the shot, only 1 liberal. And I think that was Sean Penn.

Also, Obama is NOT a Christian. This country was FOUNDED on Christian values & principles and hundreds of thousands have fought and died to preserve the very freedoms we enjoy today, and the libs want to take that away from us? Oh he11 NO. Obama was the only IL state senator to vote against the Born Alive Infants Protection Act, which required medical care to be given to live infants who survived abortions. I find that absolutely disgusting! A true Christian would NEVER do that!! That kind of person is NOT who I want running the country I so love.

Then there's these other issues:

The Black Republicans released this statement on Barack Obama:

Forty-five years ago, on August 28, 1963, The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. who was a Republican and embraced the traditional values that made this country great delivered his inspirational civil rights "I Have a Dream" speech.

Today, Senator Barack Obama, with the most liberal voting record in the US Senate, is delivering his political acceptance speech, in an apparent attempt to assume for himself the mantle of Dr. Martin Luther King.

Dr. King did not embrace the type of secularist agenda promoted by Obama and the Democratic Party of today, which includes fostering dependency on welfare that breaks up families, supporting same-s*x marriage and partial-birth abortion, and banning God from the public square.

Obama is no MLK!

Answer 15

Liberal fear is responsible for the continuation of the negative remarks. I think alot of the libs are mad that Obama didn't make Hillary his VP. So, now petty jealousy is running rampant. I think that many libs fear the possibility of a powerful republican woman, reaching such heights as VP of the USA.  

Answer 16

it doesnt matter what obama says....in the medias eyes....he can do no wrong

Answer 17

I'll take that. Anything that brings the socialist Obama to his knees is fine with me.

Answer 18

Obama said something about her daughter being a knocked up teen?

Sheesh, either way this election is a sham so it doesn't matter....

Answer 19

No, Obama has no more control over the people doing that than McCain has over the people who still insist that Obama is a Muslim.

Answer 20

Please include a quote that includes this so-called bashing and I MIGHT take you seriously.

If Obama didn't say it, why would it affect my opinion of him?

Meanwhile, please don't say "Obamabots"; it's a really lame attempt at an insult and severely discredits you.

Answer 21

It's a time-honored tradition that candidates keep their hands clean and let their official and unofficial surrogates do the dirty work.

Examples:  

McCain isn't going to call Obama a Muslim, but he's not exactly trying to correct the record either - if certain Americans believe Obama is a Muslim and don't vote for him because of it - so be it.

McCain isn't going to come out and call Obama a black panther or a racist, but I don't see him asking people on YA to stop with the endless litany of questions insinuating such.

That's life in the political arena.  If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen, I guess.

Answer 22

Excuse me, but Obama is not bashing palin's daughter or palin herself he has too much class for that. The media is,

and obama has nothing to do with the media he's actually trying to get people to lay off the girl. And for the record republicans are the only ones who play dirty politcs, recall an incident about Bill Clinton, Jon Edwards, I do belive their was a man who went by the name of Kerry..shall I go on. And if you want to talk dirty politics how low is it for an aged mumified man to poke fun at a maturing young Chelsea Clinton...well Chelsea has the last laugh now, bet he didn't see that one coming. Grow up people.

Answer 23

No not at all.Its not sexist.  She has problems at home. How can she be a good example for everybody else?  I am not disgusted I want the truth.  

Answer 24

Who are you talking about?  The media?  No one from Obama's campaign has said anything about her daughter.  If asked, they do gracefully decline to answer the question.

This is something that followed Gov. Palin from  Alaska.  She's the great mother that decided to put her family through the scrutiny of the media.

Answer 25

No, he is going up in the polls. It has made the republicans look trashy & hypocrits. This women is filled with drama so the dems have nothing to do with it. Diarygate, etc.

Answer 26

are you referencing Obama's camp or the press?

2 different issues. Biden when asked about Sarah Palin only gave credit to her as a governor and someone who is qualified to be a Vice Presidential candidate.

The press is doing what it has always done jumping on whatever they think sells papers and viewership.

Soooo, dont separate it out as Obama if you are looking for a united America. You're reacting, something the McCain camp has to get away from in the next months to come before the election.

Answer 27

I think Obama would lose anyway this disgusting display will just make us win by a wider margin. Who knows Obama rarely says what he means, they might have thought Obama meant the opposite and should attack the children.

Answer 28

It could possibly, but you know liberals this election year they are fighting tooth and nail and dirty to the bone and will do anything to put a socialist Marxist communist in as president

Answer 29

The same reason why McSame supporters have trouble laying off the muslim thing....politics have always been dirty Palin won't be any different

Answer 30

Yes. Because only one side of his face said that. The other side said "go get her"

Answer 31

Buy them books and send them to school and they eat the teacher.

Some people will never learn to be human. They will continue and hopefully yes Obama will fall.
