Olbermann Complains "Every Criticism" of Sarah Palin During Campaign Was Charged as Sexism - Video
Freedom's Lighthouse ^ | November 02, 2009 | Michael

Posted on 11/02/2009 6:08:43 PM PST by Federalist Patriot

Here is video of Keith Olbermann talking with The Huffington Post's Lawrence O'Donnell about Sarah Palin's impact on Dede Scozzafava having to drop out.

Olbermann said that Sarah Palin's campaign last year "within hours of her selection by Senator McCain, began to be enveloped by their perpetual charges of sexism, every criticism of her was sexism." He then asked "why did she just push another Republican woman off the cliff, and where are the charges of sexism about that?"

O'Donnell said "they beat her out of the place" and that Republicans "don't even quite qualify for party status anymore." (Video)

You mean like every legitimate criticism of Obama is said to be racism?? How do imbeciles like OlberFreak say things like this with a straight face even as he call anyone a Klansman who dares utter a peep against Obama’s agenda and record?? And frankly, I don’t recall anyone charging sexism against those attacking Palin. Cheap shots and pettiness yeah, but sexism no.

When both parties are women how could sexism be involved, Olberdork?

In other news, the New York Times writes that Rush Limbaugh allegedly drove drunk with an employee in the car, drove off a bridge, swam to safety leaving the female employee in the car to drown, and then reported the accident a day later.

Just breaking... The USA Today announces that Sarah Palin was once the Grand Dragon of the KKK.

CNN reports that Glenn Beck was found taking a bribe by the FBI and was found with $90,000 “cold cash” in his freezer.

Not all of them were charged with sexism. They were charged with being afraid of her appeal, media bias, and it was pointed out that the feminists were hypocrites for not defending her. As far as the NY race goes, there’s no evidence that the woman’s sex had anything to do with her being opposed by conservatives. After all, she endorsed the Democrat when she dropped out, so it’s a lame attempt by them to try to show a contradiction. No one asked if the she was qualified for the job or if she was going to be able to raise her children or if she had the best intentions for women in her platform etc.

As I recall it, jaded Hillary supporters were the main source of the sexism claims.

Just an incredible lack of logic, turned on its head. If anyone dumped sexism on Palin, it was those talking heads on PMSNBC, CNN, CNBC, etc.

Incredible that they don’t see themselves in the mirror.

They thoroughly trashed her because she was successful and quite attractive, while they fell on their knees to the unsuccessful, untrained, resume-less moron that’s in the White House. Everyone of their charges could have been and should have been lobbed at the skinny Kenyan-born, illegal alien in our White House.

Worth noting that many liberal Republicans call criticism of Steele racist.
