Hadn't ever been to that Hilary Clinton forum before, saw no need. But spent some time looking at current threads today and there is more disdain for the Obama ticket than I ever imagined.

Interesting thread on the Hillary Clinton forum entitled:
Action Items: 1) Donate to McCain to affirm Palin pick; 2) Stay vigilant for all sexism against Palin
It gets better:
Donate to John McCain and Sarah Palin, and let them know you love this pick and are thrilled that McCain showed Palin the respect that Democrats, and Barack “You’re likable enough” Obama in particular, NEVER showed Hillary Clinton:
https://secure.johnmccain.com/Contribute/ContributeE.aspx
Show McCain, Palin and America that you support women in the executive branch!
There are already stunning, sexist attacks against Palin all over the kook blogosphere. Daily Kos is comparing her with Dan Quayle, implying that she is mere eye candy, likely kind of dim-witted, and totally disrespecting her and all women.
Palin was both a mayor and a governor of the largest state in America. And these pigs are just dismissing her as though she were some joke in glasses.
The only party that’s dissed a high-profile woman recently is the Democratic Party. What they did both in rigging the system so Hillary could not win the nomination and what Obama did in utterly disrespecting Hillary by not even vetting her for the VP was unconscionable. A disgrace.
Today, we have a ticket that respects women as equals and recognizing their full worth.
Please, donate to that ticket today and show America that you appreciate this historical McCain/Palin combination, and that you want to help bring America its first-ever female Vice President.
The glass ceiling is cracking. Let’s shatter it!
Comments on the thread pretty much show what many of us suspected. Obama made a huge, freakin HUGE mistake not even vetting Hillary. If Hillary had been chosen as the VP he would have become the next President…but his arrogance and ego wouldn’t let him.
And for that, I thank you Barack Obama:
I donated today, just a small $25. But I’ll order somethings from his store as soon as Palin has been added. It wasn’t as of 12:30 PM. Just waiting. It feels good to be excited about something worthwhile in this campaign again.
Don’t forget to write a comment to McCain, letting him know how much you appreciate his choice. When I did, I also added that I was looking forward to buying McCain/Palin gear.
The John McCain site seems a bit swamped today!
I was going to leave the link, but I cannot get onto the webpage. When you do get on, look for the “Contact Us” button at the bottom and send him an email.
PS. I donated $100, just before the site got swamped.
JOHN MCCAIN HAS DEFENDED HILLARY ALL THE WAY
AND TODAY SARAH APPLAUDED GERALDENE
AND HILLARY GOOD GREAT
I DONT REMEMBER THE DNC DOING THAT SHAME ON THE DNC
Yes, we need to watch her back. Those sexist pigs in the MSM and the DNC will come after Palin.
the expected sexism is already started. The Obamalots are so stupid . can’t they see that Palin is a bait ?. I think the McCain team expected all of this . The more the MSM talk about experience , the worse their sexism the worse the democrats look and finally the less they focus on McCain
Yes, its just a small slice of the Hillary fans and I understand the hardcore feminists will shy away from Palin because of her abortion views but those who are not so hardcore, who wanted Hillary to win, and are insulted by the way she was treated may very well come over to the McCain/Palin ticket.
ROFL!

Funeral In Denver
**********************EXCERPT***************************
[Waiting for McCain announcement of Vice Presidential choice. We’ll update as soon as the potentially shocking and historic news is 100% confirmed.
UPDATE: It is Sarah Palin for McCain’s VP.
Quick thoughts in one paragraph:
This is a shocking and brilliant choice by McCain. McCain/Palin announce in must-win OHIO. Stomps out the Obama funeral story. If McCain does not run for re-election the 44 year old Palin will be the Republican nominee in 2012. If the Democrats can be bought back to life after they are destroyed in NOvember and in 2010 they will have to nominate a women to run against Palin in 2012. Hillary. Yes, Hillary. Palin will help win women around the country. Palin will help with women in the Philadelphia suburbs. Ohio and Michigan and Pennsylvania will likely go with NRA member and hunter Palin. The Republican Party is now 100% unified and not in a fake way. The Republicans are showing they once again know how to run an election. This is a shocking announcement with not much of a buildup (most thought it would be dull Romney, Pawlenty, or generic white male) which compares brilliantly against the trumpted weeks long hype of the Obama campaign - a big buildup for a dud. Women will savage the Democratic Party and Obama/Dean/Brazile/Pelosi for their sexism and misogyny. Palin, whose political views we do not share, is well-spoken and articulate and tough. Palin is a maverick hated by the Alaska Republican Party because she has challenged them on ethics. Hillary’s 18 million voters (many disenfranchised by the Democratic(?) Party) will determine this election and they just have by rejection of Obama/Dean/Brazile/Pelosi. The upcoming hurricane is potentially good news for McCain/Palin and not a problem if they use it to advantage. McCain/Palin can contrast their care by either postponing the Republican convention (which helps with financing a shorter general election season and gaining additional days of Republican control of the news cycles) or they can actually demonstrate they care by going to New Orleans or whereever the hurricane hits. McCain has made a big bold amazing pick which knocks Obama’s fake campaign to the dirt - buried.]
——————————————————————————————
There is really not much to say. The Party’s Over.
Having committed suicide, the unDemocratic Party chose to have a state funeral in Denver. The jut-jawed Barack Obama strutted onto a massive constructed stage which Il Duce would have loved.
Michelle Obama broke out another cocktail dress from her Chicago supply house of cocktail dresses and joined her husband to preside at the unDemocratic funeral in Denver.
Big Media was jubiliant - their tool finally had the nomination. But as we have written repeatedly, Obama will eventually concede - in NOvember.
Real Democrats mourned. President Lyndon Johnson who signed the Civil Rights Act in 1964 was ignored. Ignoring LBJ was without doubt a concession to the Kennedy family.
Obama is a quick change artist who yesterday tried to change his guise into Hillary by plagarizing Hillary’s words and speeches. Fortunately for Hillary, Obama ignored tradition and did not bring, as is normal at these events, a flotilla of Democrats on stage with him. The spectacle was all Obama and for once we are thankful.
Last night’s comments section has plenty of analysis. No need to belabor the analysis here.
Last night the Democratic Party held a funeral. Today the Republican Party seizes the day. This entry was posted on Friday, August 29th, 2008 at 10:52 am and is filed under Hillary, Obama, McCain.

Thanks for adding that great photo....I love good family photos...
Thanks for posting the article....nice summary of her reform activities....
The Media will never report it....HA!
When Gov Sarah praised Geraldine and Hillary, the Dems musta regressed into a fetal position.
Wait till the Gov does a PR campaign blitz-—and actually meets w/ G and H.
Obama and the Dems will be sucking-up valium and vodka and assorted mind-bending aids like it was 2000-2004 all over again.
BTW, those 18 million disappointed Hillary supporters now have an astute, independent, woman reformer to vote for.
Bill Clinton's REALLY glad---he said he's been longing to vote for a woman at the top of the ticket (snicker).
Hadn't ever been to that Hilary Clinton forum before, saw no need. But spent some time looking at current threads today and there is more disdain for the Obama ticket than I ever imagined.
The media doesn’t report a lot of things as we are painfully aware.
Another GREAT ONE Phil!! BTTT !!
I never say this, but...OMG!!!!!
That is one AWESOME post!
I totally understand how the PUMAs feel.
They got the shaft.
Their party loves identity politics.
Many of these women are from my generation, and some before.
‘Rats haven’t done anything for them except raise expectations higher than they should have.
Heck...we have Sarah.
How would she compare to Hillary and Michelle?
She’s done it on her own, and she’s honest.
LOL at ‘Rat women!
Wow! Those replies/remarks are incredible.
This could be the beginning of the end of the vile rat party since LBJ’s creation of the great whining society.
"Wanna know the best part of this choice: 2012 and 2016. Mac may just have saved the RNC."
And America
Excellent graphic Phil -
• Large clear contrasting text
• Instant political parody impact
• Devastating contrasting graphic message
Thank you for the ping Ernest!
Thank you for the ping.

Thank you Dave, that’s a funny one!
