Commentary: Sexist treatment of Palin must end.
http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/09/24/campbell.brown.palin/index.html


By Campbell Brown
CNN


" -- Frankly I have had it, and I know a lot of other women out there who are with me on this. I have had enough of the sexist treatment of Sarah Palin. It has to end.

She was in New York on Tuesday meeting with world leaders at the U.N. And what did the McCain campaign do?

They tried to ban reporters from covering those meetings. And they did ban reporters from asking Gov. Palin any questions.

I call upon the McCain campaign to stop treating Sarah Palin like she is a delicate flower who will wilt at any moment."

4. No, they don't get it.
And it's the McNutty campaign that doesn't want her to speak unless reading from a script. She's dumb enough to shoot her mouth off and imagine she's brilliant.

2. I agree with you: she's in the big leagues now.
She needs to start acting as if she can handle it, otherwise get back to the out-of-the-way governorship.

5. Campbell Brown wouldn't know sexism if it bit her on the @ss.
What, is she out of buzz words? Someone give her an emergency dictionary.

Ignorance has no gender and in framing this as an issue of sexism, Brown is simply distracting from the fact this ignorant, bigoted, deceptive and manipulative person, Palin, is dangerously unqualified to be the Vice President of the United States.

The word is "corrupt", Campbell. Palin is pretty much the embodiment of the culture of corruption that got us to here.



That the actual body is a female body is beside the point.

7. The McGramps campaign has been ugly with the media.
And that was stupid. They didn't need to be ugly. Now, they'll have problems.
