When is someone going to point out that it is McCain's defense of Palin that is sexist...

[Brotherjohn]

... not the Obama campaign's attacks on Palin?

I mean, from what I have seen, every attack on her by the Obama campaign and Democratic spokespersons have had to do specifically with her RECORD, and have had nothing whatsoever to do with her gender. Her gender has not even been an issue to the Obama camp. Yet the McCain campaign attacks Obama for being sexist.

McCain is basically accusing Obama of "hitting a girl".

McCain is being sexist.

1. You're right. And anyone who thinks we should be pulling punches

because she's a female isn't treating her with respect.

There are plenty of qualified women out there -- she isn't one of them.

2. EXACTLY.

That is the whole premise of this. Women should not be treated any differently - either better or worse. They should be treated EQUALLY.
