It takes a really weak, insecure, and spineless man to attack a woman on television. It takes an even weaker “feminist” movement to play down such attacks.
In a recent episode of “Somebody, Please Notice Me,” also known as “Real Time with Bill Maher” on HBO, the show’s host may have hit rock bottom with his latest rhetorical bomb by referring to Sarah Palin with a vulgarity exceedingly offensive to women. Far more noticeable, and certainly more noteworthy, was the backhanded “defense”of Palin from radical feminists and their clearly misnamed organizations.
National Organization for Women communications director Lisa Bennett, after days of silence, sounded more as if she didn’t want to be bothered: “Sorry, but we can’t defend Palin or even Hillary Clinton from every sexist insult hurled at them in the media.”
Several weeks ago, MSNBC’s Chris Matthews attacked Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) with another derogatory slur in reference to a harmless geographical gaffe she made about American history. Only crickets from the radical feminists. (A few weeks later Matthews found himself geographically-challenged when he said the Panama Canal was in Egypt.)
Um, it seems more like an attack on stupid women who just happen to be loudmouthed, right-wing ideologues.
I don't see people going after Kay Bailey Hutchinson or Christine Todd Whitman or Murkowski...but they are smart, capable women who happen to be conservatives.

Way to play the sexism card, guys. LOL
In other words, I'm fine with women being attacked as long as they don't support my political agenda.

Please do not try to put words in my mouth. You aren't smart enough.
No doubt the three conservative female politicians I mentioned have political views that many would disagree with.
Yet, they are not treated like bimbos because...
...they aren't bimbos.
