If you’re more upset about a comedian teasing Sarah Huckabee Sanders about her makeup because it’s “making fun of appearance” than by 8 years of the GOP saying Obama was from Kenya “because of appearance,” YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM. #WHCD

1. "Why don't liberals fight back?"

And when they do with some pretty sharp and mean things, we get all bothered and worried about it.

[Highway61]

29. Seriously

Dems are "too nice". Bill Maher touches on this a lot. We need to get pissed off...really pissed off.

[Blue_Adept]

32. The usual litany is there

We're better than that, we don't want to get into the muck with them, they go low, we go high.

And I'll agree to that when it comes to various actual politicians, particularly depending on their place. They shouldn't be crass and vulgar.

But they need to fight back. And the lower ranks and those not in office need to be blunt and better fighters. We used to have them back in the day.

[sharedvalues]

43. You are exactly right. Good PR requires some to go high, some low.

The GOP figured this out decades ago. Before Trump took over their base by turning their propaganda techniques up to 11, they did this split well.

They use surrogates to sling dirt and go low. While the officeholders and figureheads go high. So Bush said “Mission Accomplished” and “compassionate conservatism” while GOP surrogates went on TV and called Dems unpatriotic and class warfare mavens and soft on terror.

It’s great for Barack and Michelle to go high. They are the visionaries and moral leaders. But liberals need surrogates who will state the truth (“Sanders is a liar”) even when it feels like that’s going low.

[Clarity2]

51. Never thought of that

You are absolutely right. Time for the dem party to adopt this.

[lunatica]

53. Do you know what Going High means?

In short it means bringing the fight to a higher level, not running to hide under the bed.

Bringing truth, whether it’s pleasant or not, to a fight is actually Going High.

[CrispyQ]

35. Agreed!

The GOP has dragged the country so far into the muck, & the dems/left are going to have to get dirty if we want to win this fight. The ratfuckers took the rule book & threw it in the trash. They are counting on the dems/left going high & if we do, we are going to lose the country.

[workinclasszero]

56. Yup. When are we going to FIGHT these bastards!?

It makes me sick. F the damned republicans!

We need to be like the greatest democrat of all FDR! He threw their hate right back in their damned faces and changed this country in a profound way, much of which is still in effect today!

But we are too busy apologizing for calling these damn republicans what they are and tearing down and destroying some of out best voices because republicans won't like us

We don't have time to change this country like FDR, to busy sucking up to the MSM and the fuc**ng RNC!!!

2. Trump's campaign born in Russia

Projection and distraction are their main tools

[Bernardo de La Paz]

12. Your title is a good turn of phrase ... "campaign born in Russia". . . . nt

[bucolic_frolic]

22. Someone told me

to focus on headline grammar ... high five to ya, Bernardo!

[uponit7771]

13. +1

[Rorey]

19. This

Excellent!

[sarge43]

3. Let's not forget

Jabba the Hut Limbaugh's comparing twelve year old Chelsea Clinton to a dog.

Don't want shit; don't start shit, Snowflakes.

[Demovictory9]

5. they still say Michelle is a man

[TexasBushwhacker]

40. You can thank Joan Rivers for starting that rumor n/t

[Shipwack]

23. You know, funny thing about that...

He said that in front of a studio audience, and they actually pushed back against that*, surprising both him and me.

He then immediately walked it back, blaming a staff member for the “mistake”.

*Nowadays, of course, they would have cheered, I think.

Edited to insert missing word.

[CrispyQ]

38. You're right. Today, they would have cheered.

The media should have smacked Palin down when the GOP didn't. They are all to blame. Fuckers. They let her spout her hateful shit, working the bigots into a frenzy. They let that kind of rhetoric become acceptable in the public forum. Fuck them, every one. Palin should have been pulled from the ticket & when the GOP didn't' do that the media should have shamed her mercilessly. Fuck them all, over their whining that Wolf exposed them for the cowards & sellouts that they are.

[TNNurse]

4. If Sarah Huckabee Sanders wants to lie her ass off every day

for Donald Trump, she is fair game.

[PaulX2]

28. The CNN Chiron Should Say "Lying Deplorable Sarah Sanders"

When she takes the podium.

[treestar]

6. How can they dare to claim to be upset by that?

They make fun of a woman's appearance first thing. What snowflakes!

[Demovictory9]

7. Hillary.s body..it was all fair game to them

[-Steph-]

8. She stands at her podium day after day deliberately lying to, and misleading the American public.

She's made it her personal mission to defend the master of personal insults and low-blows. She doesn't do it because she needs the money or job, she was already rich. She just enjoys it. I'm not offended that someone said her smokey eye shadow was made from the ashes of her lies. I'm offended that many of the same people having this faux outrage are completely comfortable supporting a racist, misogynistic, criminal that is destroying the very fabric of this country with the help of our enemies and people like Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

[Stinky The Clown]

9. THIS Plus 1,000

[whathehell]

10. But calling one out on her makeup isn't calling one out on lies

They're obviously different things. Calling someone out on lies is legitimate -- Taking shots at her appearance is just sad, desperate stuff.

[samnsara]

11. yeah i agree...

..ppl made fun if her being frumpy now make fun of her being glammed. lets stick with her behavior.

[whathehell]

14. Thank you, yes..

especially since the bulk of it is pointedly sexist.

[marble falls]

16. It is sexist. As is if her being a paid liar and stooge isn't enough, to have to make fun of her....

appearance is at best childish, mean and bully-ish behavior.

[mythology]

18. Agreed

There are plenty of good things to call her out on. Appearance isn't one of them.

[whathehell]

24. Yes..

Great minds think alike.

[USALiberal]

26. Thank you for this. WAY too many DUers attack appearance. Childish BS. nt

[Blue_Adept]

36. You should read the joke/quote then

Because it was in no way a shot at her appearance.

If it had been done up as an editorial cartoon it would have been lauded as a fantastic piece here.

[whathehell]

37. Most people were listening, not reading

but since this is my third post admitting the possibility of a mistake, I'm sure we don't need to belabor the point.

[KelleyKramer]

44. The makeup reference is considered a compliment

A 'smokey eye' is considered to be perfect

And there is no 'maybe' about it

[whathehell]

45. Yeah, and I acknowledgedd that several posts ago

You might want to try and keep up up. .

[JI7]

48. She is ok with the pussy grabbing birther so she shouldn't mind

[whathehell]

55. Huh?...What are you talking about -- Who is "she"?

[whathehell]

58. Lol..Nice try, but, as indicated, this conversation is over for me

Now I'm sorry if this disappoints you, but you may just have to find someone else to bait with the "pussy grabbing birther" routine, okay? Buh bye now.

[JI7]

59. It takes ignoring the facts to defend Sarah Huckabee sanders

[whathehell]

60. Beating dead horses takes something similar

It hastens placement on my ignore list too.

[JI7]

64. SHS Bragged about how hard Trump hits back in response to his

Bleeding women attacks.

[dalton99a]

15. And keep in mind:

[kacekwl]

17. We need to remake those shirts

Fuck your feelings on top , trump below and in small print and your little dog Sarah.

[Amimnoch]

21. I'd buy and wear it. Nt.

[George II]

20. I didn't see it, but she couldn't have said anything worse that what trump has been saying...

....about people for years. We can start with "Crooked Hillary".

[jaxind]

25. For Those Who Say...

For those who say making fun of Sanders' make-up is hitting below the belt, well maybe it is, but then how come the goddamn President could get away about making fun of Ted Cruz's wife's face??! I think that may have been before tRUMP was actually President, so for anyone that wants to use that defense and say, "That was before tRUMP was President" well, I say to them, "Well, Michelle Wolf isn't the President either!!"

[PaulX2]

27. Everyone Watched How Orcs We're Hatched In Broods

Underground in Lord Of The Rings. Glad we cleared that up.

[PaulX2]

30. Does The Fact That When I See Lying Sarah I Want To Hurl

Mean I am commenting on her appearance? Maybe it is something she said.

I have to immediately change the channel when her or Trump come on the teevee. After a few seconds I feel ill.

[MrModerate]

31. Sanders is an evil person, but her makeup isn't.

We should try to focus, even when we're roasting someone. Historically, attacks on one's appearance are much more frequently directed at women, and are especially illegitimate for that reason.

[tonedevil]

39. Do you know the joke...

that is being discussed? I suspect not as your comment doesn't address it at all.

[MrModerate]

46. The OP didn't refer to any particular joke. n/t

[tonedevil]

47. You are addressing the makeup joke...

which isn't about SHS apperance it's about the lies.

[MrModerate]

50. My comment was somewhat broader . . .

Digs about the content of Sanders' character are just fine, and a target-rich environment to boot; comments about the color of her makeup (pop culture references notwithstanding) cross the line.

And you could see it in the room. The entire audience cringed during Wolf's Sanders segment. It took her several minutes to get them back.

[tonedevil]

54. The color of her makeup...

comes from her burning facts and using the resulting ash as an eye shadow. That is not an appearance joke that is a SHS is a liar joke.

[MrModerate]

62. It was regarded by the audience (and me, incidentally) . . .

As an appearance joke.

[tonedevil]

63. You lose me completely...

if you are going to use the WHCD audience as arbiters of joke content and acceptability. The reporters, who were skewered in the same routine, are a pack of sycophants who are willing to do overlook anything donald says or does as long a they can get "access" to him. While the joke does make reference to makeup which is related to appearance the punch line makes it very clear what the joke is about. Maybe she's born with it maybe it's the lies. If that's how you define an appearance joke then your bar is so low that there are some appearance jokes I think are acceptable.

[MrModerate]

65. Your analysis, regardless of its accuracy and meaninfulness . . .

Was clearly not shared by the large audience. So there's that.

[BannonsLiver]

67. Do you also think knock knock jokes are about doors?

[MrModerate]

68. Not usually, but then I always consider the context. n/t

[BannonsLiver]

70. Consider the context, except in this case, apparently.

[heaven05]

33. to hell with huckster

she deserves everything said about her by Wolf.

[90-percent]

34. It was liberal-nice of Al Franken

to resign his Senate Seat merely because he was strategically attacked by Roger Stone and his internet innuendo minions.

Now we lefties (and our fading twilight of Democracy) are bereft of one of the most courageous Wellstone Democrats of at least the last thirty years! Smartest, most well prepared, most articulate Senator we could hope for and THE BAD PEOPLE WON..........again.

Go grab some pussy out there for fun, Al. You deserve some sleazy sexist relaxation after all you've been through! The world has to be teeming with ex-dem-senator groupies! I'll paypal you $50 myself, Al, if you make S.H. Sanders pussy grabbin' job one!

-90% Jimmy

For the record, all the pussy grabbin' of my 64 year old life has generally been respectful and consensual. Even during the many blackout drunks of my youth up to my interlock install of Jan 2016-Mar 2018. Oh yeah, almost forgot. My wife of 25 years died Oct 2013 from alcoholism, albeit indirectly.

[TexasBushwhacker]

41. SHE DID NOT MAKE FUN OF SANDERS' APPEARANCE!!!

She said Sanders' creates the "perfect" smokey eye from the ashes of burned facts.

[CakeGrrl]

42. Agree - I wish they would STOP REPEATING THE LIE

Wolf complimented Sanders' makeup.

She poked fun of the CONTENT of the makeup.

She explained this to the idiot media types trying to defend Huckabee Sanders.

[malaise]

49. Not only that

Most of the media gave them airplay and did not call out the fucking LIARS

[BannonsLiver]

52. It's pretty pathetic to still see DUers defending poor wittle Sarah

Her looks, her appearance, her lies, he tone of voice are ALL FAIR GAME. Wake up, these people are fascists. If they had their way you'd be living behind razor wire, or worse. And you're worried about her fucking feelings?

[IronLionZion]

57. Full transcript for DUers who want to know what they're talking about

And, of course, we have Sarah Huckabee Sanders. We're graced with Sarah's presence tonight. I have to say I'm a little star-struck. I love you as Aunt Lydia in “The Handmaid's Tale.”

Mike Pence, if you haven't seen it, you would love it.

Every time Sarah steps up to the podium, I get excited because I'm not really sure what we're going to get: you know, a press briefing, a bunch of lies or divided into softball teams. “It's shirts and skins, and this time, don't be such a little b----, Jim Acosta.”

I actually really like Sarah. I think she's very resourceful. Like, she burns facts, and then she uses the ash to create a perfect smoky eye. Like, maybe she's born with it; maybe it's lies.

It's probably lies.

And I'm never really sure what to call Sarah Huckabee Sanders. You know, is it Sarah Sanders? Is Sarah Huckabee Sanders? Is it Cousin Huckabee? Is it Auntie Huckabee Sanders? Like, what's Uncle Tom but for white women who disappoint other white women? Oh, I know: Aunt Coulter.
