This is a great ad, pointing out the unbelievable hypocrisy of obama. He has daughters, yes, Palin has daughters that have been routinely attacked by liberals. How would he like the same for his two girls.

He talks a good game, but as usual, he doesn't really mean what he says.

In his playbook, conservative women and their children are fair game.

Waste of time. You know that liberals don't believe in personal responsibility, what makes you think they'll own up to this one?

Sarah was and is a political figure in the public arena and making a ton of money doing it. She is fair game. David Letterman made an unwise choice of a joke about the daugher (although she was an adult at the time), that wasn't nice.....hardly horrible in any fashion but he publicly and very sincerely apologized and never did it again. No one that I know of ever said another thing, unless you can add a link.....I doubt you know of one either.

Maher gave the mil to Priorities USA, not the Obama campaign.

This is pathetic, Maher making fun of Sarah Palin hardly makes him sexist, there's nothing sexist about making fun of a politician who is a woman. It's more sexist to demand women get a free pass. Palin also chooses to be a public figure as does her daughter Bristol, a reality TV star.

Then again, Obama's kids haven't decided to be freak shows on reality TV. When they start to do that, I'm sure plenty of people will ridicule them, too.

Piper was 14 years old at the time. He wasn't talking about Bristol.

So women entering the political arena should expect misogynistic, sexist, disgusting vile "jokes"...just because they're women?

A perfect example of the leftist mentality.

Oh, the vicious Left started in on her children immediately.

Great ad, isn't it?

So you are saying that misogynist "jokes" and slurs are ok if the women are public figures?

I guess we'll hold you to that and see if you stay consistent.

I'm betting you won't.

Interesting so according to your definition of what's OK. Rush could call Michelle Obama a c%%% and you wouldn't have an issue with it?

Lol, it's only an Obama super PAC, a distinction without a difference.
