heh, Dem on CNN: I'd like to hear Carly Fiorina decry the sexism against Michelle Obama

[ErinBerin84]

Just turned on to CNN, and a Dem ( from blogher) and someone from AOL living were discussing "sexism" that is going on against Sarah Palin, and the AOL living person is going into the "People NEVER care if men have a lot of kids" (I don't really care either, but I think the issue is more of having a newborn special needs child. Plus, Palin is being MARKETED as a mother to justify "managerial skills", but then the same people claim that her being a mother is not relevant, which I find a bit funny. But again, many other issues about Palin worry me so I don't really care about that one).

And then the Dem said "It's funny to hear people like Carly Fiorina all of the sudden be concerned about sexism...I would like to hear the 'outcry" over the sexism that has occurred against Michelle Obama, and hear people like Carly speak out against that. You are all of the sudden getting people who are not used to talking about sexism be concerned with sexism, which is very funny."


I wish that people would also mention that Edwards was asked a lot of the same questions in reference to Elizabeth being sick, it's not necessarily a female specific thing.

1. Sexism exists. Sexism has been used against Hillary Clinton, Sarah Palin and Michelle Obama. HOWEVER

it is becoming clear that the Rethugs are exploiting anger over sexism for political gain.

3. I agree....we all know what Carly would be saying if Hillary was the candidate.

It's legitimate, but just a bit rich coming from the Republican party..in fact, I have heard a lot of Republicans using sexism with Palin as a means to promote her, Carly should address them too and not just try to blame the Democrats.
