It is shameful that she has been thrown under the bus just like the Shelley Sherrod. The administration was in a haste to ditch Sherrod because they were afraid of Fix Noise (False News). It seems to me again that the administration is back to being shaken by any development they perceive Fix Noise is likely to hap on. This sad since I thought the administration had learnt it's lessons from the Sherrod's debacle.

Can one send Hillary Rosen email of support somehow?

So, I think you can send her an email, or something similar, but I don't think she's running for any office. I'll look it up, and tell you what I find out.

Rosen is not being thrown under a bus. She's trying to drive a bus. Fact: Hilary Rosen is in no way a paid strategist for the Obama campaign. She's actually a paid troll of right wing media producers to make it look as if she speaks for the Obama campaign. Then Romney strategists can cry 'foul' about some alleged hypocritical attack on a candidate spouse, and drag the Obama campaign down to the level the Republicans are comfortable with.

Not to mention that this is an obvious attempt at yet another false equivalency argument that tries to keep evangelical or unemployed Republican women from bleeding toward the Democratic Party, particularly after the nationwide revelation about ALEC's ten-year, 700-bill organized legal attack against women and the middle class.

Hilary Rosen made a mistake and should not be given a pass. Ann Romney doesn't support any other class of stay-at-home or working women but those of her own church. Sure, both women are 'right' in a very narrow sense, but don't aid and abet some Republican attempt to fool women that they are on their side just because one of the rich ones stayed home, as if any woman voter could 'have an Arnold Palmer or swap recipes' with Ann Romney.

Hilary Rosen is job hunting. The serious campaigning starts in the summer, and this hysteria is filler.

Regardless, the Obama campaign is going to counter-attack seeing that MSNBC found tape of Romney telling women on welfare to put their children in child care and get to work.
