I've heard more than one in the mainstream media... |
|
...talk about how Biden may have to go a bit easy on Palin in the upcoming debates or risk alienating voters. On "Meet The Press" this morning Tom Brokaw asked Joe if he risks getting tough with her what the reaction might be.
HOLY SHIT I can barely take this bias. The media fawns all over Palin and practically creams their jeans when she claims how tough she is with her "pit bull" & "lipstick" nonsense. They boast how confident and forceful she is. Then they turn question just how "tough" Biden should get with her.
Is she tough or not you double-talking, status quo, ass-kissing media?
:grr:

1. That's bothering me, too. She's either a pitbull maverick, or an |
|
"innocent woman" (as I heard Hannity say).
It's one or the other, kids. Can't have it both ways.

6. They did. It was stated that her speech was a risk. She may even cry later, it worked for another |

3. It's sexism at its finest...... |
|
it is being used as a tool.
Biden "has to watch himself" is the key phrase.

4. Brokaw said that to his face this morning. |
|
Biden said no -- he's used to debating with strong, smart women - he does it in the Senate all the time.

5. The answer should be that "if she's such a pitbull then there 's no reason I should go easy on her |
|
....maybe she should go easy on ME!"
It's true the lame$tream media is trying to have it BOTH ways for her. Touting her as oh-so-tough but then warning Dems to go easy on her in debates.
She's a little Prima Donna and a Porcelain Pitbull, at best, and the lame$tream are trying to keep her diaper dry for her. It's rediculous.

9. The whole thing is bullshit. |
|
Sexist, sexist, sexist? Do they want her treated like a man? I bet not. Then they should shut up about being sexist.

a BIG DEAL about being a beltway OUTSIDER - She isn't afraid of the old boys club within the beltway.. B.S.
Biden should have to go gently with a woman who kills endangered species before breakfast and who has ALL THAT EXPERIENCE???
She and her friendly media want to have it both ways - Jeeze guys, she's just a girl who hasn't had to play hardball with the boys.
Fuck the media.

12. Tom asked a very good question and Joe gave an excellent answer. |
|
I'm so glad Joe was given the opportunity to have his say about the whole issue.
