We can not afford to have public candidates given immunity to criticism based on class. And why is it only the Democrat politicians who are offered this defense? Is criticizing Sarah Palin sexist? Or Ann Coulter? Or Pamela Geller? Is criticizing Allen West racist? Or Walter E Williams? Or Clarence Thomas?

The fact that Democrats depend on racial and gender political correctness as an institution that automatically slander-labels all enemies as bigoted while making friends immune to the charge is telling. It says they have nothing but slime and lies to base their ideology on.

Certainly REAL racism and sexism is of no actual concern to Democrats, as they show craven respect to cultures that are barbaric in promoting racism and sexism.

I’d have sexism with Kristen a couple times a day...

Speaking of Ronald Reagan, what kind of “ism” was it when the media constantly implied or outright stated that Reagan was out to lunch mentally and was a doddering old fool?

Rarely discussed factoid that reflects on Kirsten’s judgement: Back in the day, she dated Anthony Weiner.

She looks unhealthy. Overweight? Out of shape? Stumbling? Head jerks?

Just like racism, the attempts to silence critics by claiming ‘sexism’ and/or ‘mysogyny’ is starting to wear thin.

Greatly overused and too often without merit, the credibility of those who use it to squash debate is approaching zero.

“Powers had a fling with the erstwhile Congressman Anthony Weiner in 2002.They continue being good friends even after their relationship terminated.”

Well then, she must know quite a bit about Huma, eh? Maybe KP should be questioned and told to come clean.

“I guess I have to ask why is there any concern about her health?”

And, they say there’s no such thing as a stoopit question.

"POWERS: The way that they've talked about her, you know -- the way you watch "Drudge" posting things about granny and grandma. Well, Donald Trump's a grandpa so what's the idea here? That someone because she's a woman and she's a grandma that she's frail?"
And the Low-Information voters watch this and nod their heads.

Never saw her, since I don’t watch TV. But, based on what I’ve read here, I’d have to say that “Kirsten Powers” is a misnomer. She lacks intellectual powers, truth-telling powers, and several other powers.

There's a long list of Presidential candidates who were questioned about their health - from Eisenhower to John Kennedy.

Kirsten Powers has been drinking liberal koolaid rather than thinking for herself. Shame on her... she's better than that. Oh and Fox's Carl Cameron might fit better with the Trump haters at CNN.

“One, as with Lazio to show her as the victim and Trump as an aggressive male.”

I don’t think the average voter would have sympathy if they viewed their president as being victimized by an aggressive male. What would they expect her to do, weep and wail on Putin’s shoulder if she thought he said something mean to her?

She won NY Senate seat with the ploy. You wouldn’t think they’d want a helpless female as senator either but it worked.
