Donna Brazile: The sexist attack on Valerie Jarrett
CNN ^ | November 11, 2014 | Donna Brazile

Posted on 11/11/2014 8:30:41 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

After the past week's political upheavals in Washington and around the country, we are reminded that certain things remain constant in politics. Unfortunately, one of those things is the sexism leveled at any woman who rises to power in the White House -- under presidents of either party.

No sooner was the hunt on for a fall guy for the Democratic midterm losses than some in the press predictably went after a fall gal -- President Barack Obama's senior adviser, Valerie Jarrett.

Reporter Carol Felsenthal in Politico and others have decided that the best way to address Democratic losses is to have a "shake-up" at the White House, and the person they most want to see shaken out is Jarrett.

She is pilloried for everything from run-ins with other staffers to playing herself in a cameo role on CBS' "The Good Wife." That's how much they object to the job Valerie Jarrett is doing -- they don't even want her doing it in the fictional realm. The Politico story, headlined "Fire Valerie Jarrett, even notes that "nobody knows precisely what Jarrett does in the White House." But whatever it is, it's wrong enough that she needs to be fired....

Does this suggest that a new obamacare-exempt job opportunity for a new scapegoat in the obama administration is about to become available?

I guess the “racist” label on everything and everyone is losing its impact so they are switching over to “sexist” for the next couple of days at least.

Jarret strikes me as a terrorists version of the psychopathic nanny from ‘The Hand That Rocks The Cradle’

Donna is pointing out that no one, under any circumstance, is permitted to criticize Negresses, it is simply not allowed. Unless, of course, they happen to be conservative.

Jarrett is the mother Obama didn't have, Black. She has influence over him
for as long as "he" lets the game continue. Jarrett is a devout Communist
and should be thrown in prison for treason, all Communists in our Gov should be
either jailed or at the very least, fired. America's enemy is Communism and has
been for as long as I have taken breath.

Communism like Islam are the enemy to America. These types should be shamed
at every chance and ostracized from society completely. Or better, kicked out of America.

Can’t let the blame / responsibility close in on Obama, can they?

I realize that Donna is the token Black on CNN, but geez there must be somebody in the local crack houses that can do a better job then her.

BTW, Donna is not going to help with the White flight from the Democrat party.

I don’t think anyone has attacked her for being a woman.

any woman who rises to power in the White House -- under presidents of either party.

Seems like poor phrasing. How many famous actress rose to fame underneath directors of either party?

How does Donna Brazille even get any airtime anymore? Does she even have a real job?

I don’t blame Valerie. I blame Obama for being a complete failure.

Why would conservatives want to blame Val for Obama being a failure? Most would rather place that on Obama. It is the sexist liberals that would be blaming Val. Got that, sweetie?

Oh, by the way, I am using the “sweetie” reference to point out what a real sexist looks like.

Amazing, criticism of lib dyke is a sexist attack, irrational, hate filled actual sexist attacks against Conservative heterosexual women is just a unbiased political critique.

Racists calling racists, “racists”......and sexists...well, you know the rest. What a pathetic bunch of anti-American loser hacks.

A group picture of all of them in orange jump suits would be a good front-pager for the NY Slimes.
