More On The Left’s/Media’s Sexism: Compare Palin To Obama–Continuously Updating, Scroll Down

I’ve had it. There is no question Sarah Palin will be able to handle this disgusting desperate display, but that doesn’t mean other people can’t fight it. So, I need your help. I’m going to start this myself. And you can add your own in the comments and I’ll post the good ones.

Here is what I just heard on the radio. KTRH, where Rush finds his home in Houston, put up a poll. The question on the website:

Many women, citing their own difficulties, say it’s impossible for Sarah Palin to succeed both at motherhood and as vice president of the country. Do you agree or disagree?

Okay, so here’s the game. Substitute Barack Obama’s name every time you see Sarah Palin and change the pronouns. This is the new question:

Many men, citing their own difficulties, say it’s impossible for Barack Obama to succeed both at fatherhood and as President of the country. Do you agree or disagree?

There’s the first example. This is fertile ground, people. As I come up with them, I’ll post them.

On CNN, Campbell Brown interviews a McCain guy about Governor Palin, but it’s the ticker at the bottom of the screen that I love, considering that the talk is about foreign policy experience. It says:
“Palin’s Teen Daughter Pregnant: AIDE: McCain Knew Before VP Pick”

Now this:
“Obama’s Teen Daughter Pregnant: AIDE: He Knew Before He Accepted The Nomination”

And here’s what Brown said:

BROWN: Tucker, though, this obviously putting this young woman, Bristol Palin smack in the media spotlight at what’s already got to be a very challenging time in her life. I mean, how do you respond to people who wonder why her mother would have subjected her to this scrutiny by accepting this high-profile position?

Let’s change the money quote:

Tucker, though, this obviously putting this young woman, Malia Obama smack in the media spotlight at what’s already got to be a very challenging time in her life. I mean, how do you respond to people who wonder why her father would have subjected her to this scrutiny by accepting this high-profile position?

Rush had a good answer for this, of course. Should Sarah Palin burden her daughter with the knowledge that her pregnancy derailed her mom’s potential for being the Vice President of the United States? Why is Campbell Brown working considering she has a child?

More to come, no doubt. This is easy. Michelle Malkin notes the left’s selective sympathy for working mothers:

If a Democrat mom chooses public office, she’s a patriot Wonder Woman imbued with Absolute Moral Authority on children’s, health, and social welfare issues.

If a Republican mom chooses public office, she’s the child-neglecting spawn of Satan who has no business debating any domestic public policy because of alleged hypocrisy.

Ain’t feminism grand?

Redstate has a related item. Anderson Cooper interviews Barack Obama who skips Sarah Palin’s experience as Governor and points out his (and it’s hard not to snicker) campaign budget being three times as much as her mayoral budget. Wait just a little minute, here. How about the Alaskan budget which is many times the campaign (snicker) budget. Leon Wolf says:

So, from my perspective, there are basically two reasons that Barack Obama and his supporters refuse to even acknowledge Sarah Palin’s current job (in favor of focusing on the job she held two jobs before her current job): the first is that it makes Obama’s claim that running his campaign counts as “experience” clownish. The second is that they simply have some sort of problem acknowledging that a person like Palin could be in a position of that much authority. I’m not here to take sides on that particular debate; I report, you decide.

Or, maybe Barack Obama and his media enablers are sexist pigs. How about that? Instead of going after her policies, they diminish her experience. Every time that word is said…..

More from Jeff Goldstein. Holy cow! I knew this would be easy, but it’s so easy it’s sickening. Liberal talk show host Ed Schultz:

SCHULTZ: The facts are this. What kind of mother is she? Is she prepared to be the vice president? Is she going to be totally focused on the issues.

Now as Obama:

SCHULTZ: The facts are this. What kind of father is he? Is he prepared to be the president? Is he going to be totally focused on the issues.

Jeff says:

This kind of argument — which, let’s face it, Schultz would never be making were the candidate a man (must be part of the new feminism, incidentally: working women, for all their professional accomplishments, are to be judged by the mistakes of their children — not how they react to those mistakes, which, in Obama’s case, we know would be to get rid of the “punishment”) — suggests that Sarah Palin is a bad mother, not because of a mistake made by her teenage daughter, but because she wasn’t there to stop it.

Or, to put it another way, what was this Palin woman thinking taking a job while she should have been home, in the kitchen, fastening a chastity belt around her daughter’s honeypot each morning?

I mean, it’s one thing to want to work and act like a man when you haven’t the burden of children, or will at least pony up for a strict Catholic nanny from South America. But, c’mon, honey: playtime is over. Tend your garden, like a good little woman. Then you might now have a knocked up daughter.

Jesus. Can you imaging a “liberal” radio host making this same argument were Palin and her daughter Democrats and black? Of course not. Instead, we’d be treated to a nonstop narrative of sacrifice and the difficulties of growing up black in America — of cultural pressures, the differences between black and white, etc.
