Read this drivel for yourself, if you can stomach it.
Let me get this straight… it’s not okay to question Michelle Obama’s patriotism, AFTER SAYING she wasn’t proud of this country. But it is ok to question Governor Palin’s parenting because her daughter is pregnant? And this isn’t some media member or talking head, its attorney Howard Gutman, an “original member of the national finance committee for Senator Obama“.
Gutman said the issue wasn’t one of gender, but one of parenting -– regardless of the gender of the parent.
“This has nothing to do with gender, whether Todd Palin was the nominee or Sarah Palin was the nominee,” Gutman said. “If my daughter had just come home at 17 years old and said, ‘Mom, Dad, I’m pregnant, we have a family problem,’ I wouldn’t say, ‘You know what we’re going to do? We’re going to take this private family problem…and you know what I’m going to do? I’m going to go on the international stage and broadcast this to the world.’”
Gutman continued, “this wasn’t a working mother issue, this was a parent issue…The proper attack is not that a woman shouldn’t run for vice president with five kids, it’s that a parent, when they have a family in need, a Down’s baby who needs them — mother or father.”
Have you had enough of this garbage yet? If so, then stand up for Sarah and make sure you do everything you can to get her elected. The sexism and attacks on her family must stop.
Is this the “change” we are supposed to believe in? Obama said his campaign wouldn’t do this kind of stuff, but it sure sounds like the same old politics of personal destruction to me.
UPDATE: Based on Obama’s own words, why hasn’t Howard Gutman been fired?
