Michelle Malkin The Four Stages of Conservative Female Abuse By Michelle Malkin o September 3, 2008 07:16 AM My syndicated column today takes a broader view of those suffering from Palin Derangement Syndrome and assesses the longtime signs and symptoms of progressive Conservative Female Abuse by the Left.
It's all coming soon to a Democrat rag-masquerading-as-a-tabloid or a Democrat tabloid-masquerading-as-a-manstream newspaper near you. It's a peculiar pathology I've reported on for more than 15 years, both as a witness and a target.
Palin Derangement Syndrome in the media, Democrat circles, and the cesspools of the blogosphere came as no surprise. Liberals hold a special animus for constituencies they deem traitors.
Women who put an "R" by their name have abandoned their ovaries and betrayed their gender. As Republican officeholders and conservative public figures who are women have grown in number and visibility, the progression of Conservative Female Abuse has worsened. The astonishing vitriol and virulent hatred directed at GOP Alaska Gov. The first stage of Conservative Female Abuse by the Left is infantilization. Right-wing women can't possibly believe what they believe about the sanctity of life, self-defense, free markets, or foreign policy. They must be submissive little dolls of the White Male Hierarchy.
derided former GOP Florida secretary of state Katherine Harris for applying "her makeup with a trowel." True to form, Dowd was first out of the box to snicker at Gov.
A Huffington Post website member wrote of Nancy Reagan: "Like her evil husband, she has lived far too long. Here's hoping the hag suffers for several weeks, then croaks in the tub." Another added: "I feel no pity for the bitch who took delight in watching thousands die of a horrible disease and watching the poor having to eat out of dumpsters because of her husband's political beliefs."
crypto-Nazi surfaced on the Internet and the fringe media. And liberal critics used her gun-rights record to smear her as bloodthirsty. Conservative women aren't real women according to the liberal feminist establishment's definition. Remember when Gloria Steinem called Texas Republican Sen. Or when curdled NOW leader Patricia Ireland instructed Democrats to vote only for "authentic" female political candidates? Or when Al Gore's fashion consultant Naomi Wolf described the foreign-policy analysis of Jeane Kirkpatrick as being "uninflected by the experiences of the female body?" Echoing the bottom-feeders in the liberal blogosphere, mainstream journalists and Obama water-carriers now question Palin's commitment to motherhood and even challenged her pre-natal care decisions in an effort to destroy her.
People in our country have a short attention span and you have all of those wonderful links to remind everyone of the bias and hypocracy of the left. I am going to forward this to everyone I know in hopes that they can use it as a tool to combat the PDS that they might encounter every day.
You have quantified every one of your points in a manner that my 5yr old could understand, meaning it will still be a mental stretch for any of the Kossacks or other MSM types to understand.
Meaning I was going to vote for him, but do nothing to promote him. After Fred Thompson's speech last night and this column this morning, I am a changed woman. I feel now we have something to vote for not just vote against.
"Race and Gender traitors" are obviously completely unacceptable to the unhinged lunatics of the left. Every good liberal knows that a "real" African Americans or females can only be authentic if they believe the party line. The very notion that there are conservative women and African Americans is impossible for them to accept and those who refuse to be good liberals must be destroyed. They did it to Thomas and they will try to do it to Palin. I just hope we, as a nation, can see through their vile and obscene sexist and racist ranting.
I think too, gender will become a social construction, where the women will be considered democrats, and the men republican. Because only recently have I learned that you're only a true woman if you are Pro-choice and pro-Palestinian.
I think it was Rusty who said that it was a horrible pick for McCain and we "hardcore" supporters just can't see the writing on the wall. I think that if they were ignoring Palin, we'd have a problem. The mere fact that they are attacking her with such ferocity is a testament to your quote above. I just really feel sorry for her family, but I think they must be strong enough to deal with the lies, otherwise they wouldn't be in politics.
The Left is the American Taliban, enforcing rules on others they themselves will not observe. All in the name of power for themselves to create a more "perfect" society. for the first time in my life I am proud of John McCain. I was going to hold my nose and vote against Obama/Biden, but now, I'll be at the voting booth when it opens to vote for America's first Woman Vice President and our future first Woman President.
They have had this well oiled attack machine in motion for so long. I don't want to be the same as them, but there has to be a way to get the message out just as clearly as they manage their lies.
My (prolly naive) hopes are that the person with whom I am speaking will come to an understanding when they answer the question. However, what I am getting from reading the lib blogs, DK, and other lib media, is that they have their fingers in their collective ears, spewing spittle as they scream lalalalalalalala.
Daria said: As usual, another strong, insightful column, Michelle. These people are beyond reprehensible, and in my humble opinion, the silent majority will demonstrate their displeasure with them on November 4 I think Rush had it right when he made that prediction on his show yesterday. He actually drew a false parallel between that New Yorker cover, which was actually a slam against conservatives and their perceived views of Obama, and US Weekly's utterly despicable Sarah Palin hit-job. I can't wait for Sarah to hit it out of the park tonight.
Governor Palin is one tough gal, she can and will take it to em tonight. Sarah being Sarah is all she needs to do, all these so called experts on the news this morning saying she need to do this that and the other thing.. Some dipstick said she needed to say what changes they are going to bring to the White House, ok, fine I agree, lets here one time from Mr O' Hopey Changey on the same topic. McCain/Palin 08' the trolls libs and Dems are about to have their lunch handed to them.
He actually drew a false parallel between that New Yorker cover, which was actually a slam against conservatives and their perceived views of Obama, and US Weekly's utterly despicable Sarah Palin hit-job. The moral equivalency thing belongs to them exclusively. I also heard another commentator ( I didn't see them, so I don't know who it was) say that the liberals get it just as bad.
I was jumping up and down and cheering as if I was at an Eagles game. In spite of some differences with President Bush and as much as I loved the Reagan tribute, I would have liked to have seen some sort of tribute to W, focusing on the War on Terror. Especially in light of the awesome news regarding Anbar Province, that would've been an excellent chance to remind America that the man has kept us safe since 9/11. They could've tied that in with McCain's call for the surge. And another (slightly OT) thing: Mort Kondracke continues to display a complete lack of awareness regarding the Sarah Palin pick, deriding her as "far right." Does he actually believe that the 12% of the population that call themselves "independents" would carry McCain to victory if much of the Republican base stayed home? No one challenged him on his assertion, not even Kristol, which kind of surprised me. Mort was just so ticked off that his buddy Joe Lieberman didn't get the VP nod. He was actually mad that the crowd gave Joe a warm reception and yet would've been opposed to his selection as VP. Does he not get that while conservatives admire Joe for his pro-America foreign policy stance, there is little els...
