Has the media picked up the "mothers health" comment by McInsane?

I am just so upset about that comment!! I know Rachel and Keith did but did CNN or anyother network?

1. Believe it or not, Chris Matthews mentioned it right after the debate.

I was shocked and pleasantly surprised to hear him pick up on it.

To McInsane and rabid dog Palin, a mother's health has no more importance than the well being of an incubator.

2. Interestingly enough,

even on Morning Joe, it was mentioned and the general group commentary posited it was an overall net negative for McCain. The most positive comment I heard had to do with throwing meat to his base.

For the record, I about fell off my couch (fortunately my jaw hitting the floor kept me upright) when his comment about "health of the mother" was said. My first thought was so a smaller government would compel women to die. Earlier he had said he was a Federalist but apparently had no problem mandating Federal intervention over a woman's health. Wow. . .

5. I was at a large debate watch party and you should have heard the crowd

we went wild.

6. What was the composition of the crowd?

Male to Female, Democrat-Independent-Republican, Generationally? I ask because I'm curious whether his response was viewed as a boneheaded comment amongst his supporters. Thanks!

8. all Democrats, pretty well balanced male to female; all ages. Loud boos. nt

3. Planned Parenthood ought to put out a commercial.

His gesture with his hands putting quote's around "health of the mother" was vile and repulsive. His continued use of the term "pro-abortion" was also offensive. No one is "pro-abortion."

4. I haven't seen it yet. And that comment

made me VERY angry also. My daughter had HELLP Syndrome, rare and life-threatening during pregnancy and had to have baby delivered at 6 1/2 months to save her life. Delivering the baby IS the ONLY choice when a patient has HELLP Syndrome during pregnancy. That statement by McLame REALLY pi$sed me off!! But, of course the media doesn't cover it!!

7. wow things like this is what made me so mad... ugh thank you for your story nt

9. Shocked, Horrified, Angry, Afraid--God!

When I heard that comment, live during the debate, I could not even contain myself--I started yelling at the TV, I thought it was one of the cruellest, most disturbing dismissals of anyone's suffering and threat of death I had ever heard, and was flabbergasted when Obama did not express any shock at all at it. This is an indicator of McCain's constant, lifelong abusive and violent treatment of women, bored at the mention of their pain, and I have been angry, seething, about it ever since. Something very odd happened last night on the live 9PM/then replay 11PM "Rachel Maddow Show" on MSNBC (I don't listen to that woman-hating prick Olbermann and the all-male-every-time lineup): at 9PM, Maddow announced her outrage at the McCain dismissal of the woman's health as an issue, with the hand-gesture "quotation marks," like it isn't even real to this prick, and a story on McCain's total unpopularity among women and how the insulting choice of Sarah Palin actually increases women's rejection of McCain, then MSNBC went to the Al Smith dinner speeches, and it took up the whole program. Then at 11PM, a reworked program, and there was no mention at all of the horrible "kill the woman I don't care" McCain remark, or the Palin-V.P.-pick story. What happened? Of course, I cannot tell you how shocked, simply shocked, that the "liberal males" are not trumpeting this all over the way they do at anything against Obama or any other male--not.

When McCain pretends to be "moral," talking about "the unborn," etc., somebody should get off that damn-prick "we honor your service to the country" neverending bowing and crawling, and ask--"How's your fist wife there, hero? Tell us what happened, since you want a discussion about 'character.' "
