Susan Reimer, columnist for the Baltimore Sun, is shocked, SHOCKED I tell you, that people took exception to her tactless bashing of Governor Sarah Palin in her September 1 column, "A woman -- but why this woman?" In fact, Reimer is so upset that people where exercised enough to drop her a note, give her a call, or write an email about her baseless smearing of Palin that she says in her September 5 column that she feels "frightened." Do you want some cheese and crackers to go with that whine, Reimer?
On Monday, I wrote a column criticizing the McCain campaign for what I saw as a cynical attempt to gather in unhappy women voters by naming Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin his vice presidential candidate and for exploiting the poignant story of her youngest child to appease the Republican Party's pro-life base... And then the storm began.
Reimer was shocked to find that her substance free, lie filled attack on John McCain and Governor Sarah Palin generated "More than 8,200 comments were posted to the column on The Baltimore Sun's Web site. I received more than 700 personal e-mails and about 50 phone calls."
Even worse for Reimer, her gutter scraping column was read by Rush Limbaugh and Brit Hume and was linked by Drudge as an example of the outrageous treatment that Palin has gotten at the hands of feminist media elites like Reimer.

It makes me wonder, too. Dr. Laura came out swinging against Sarah Palin, and has been making snide comments about Palin’s dtr’s bf. These older women — there is something under their skin. I will call it primal jealousy.
I hate to say this but I think women are better at coping with extreme stress than men are. They just seem to carry on. (I’m a man, by the way)
Or both.
It’s so good to be having so much fun!!! Now my tears are tears of joy....no more sadness and hopelessness here!!!
McCain/Palin 08!!!!
Just right-click on the image an select "save".
Actually, we need to find every speck of dirt on this whiner and show her what it means to be smeared.
Yeah, give it right back to her.
Susan Reimer, a classless lady.

Here’s the one whining about its reception: http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/nation/bal-te.reimer05sep05,0,3664358.column
The Baltimore Sun is in even worse shape than most American newspapers. They recently gutted their business section, went through their second major design overhaul in three years and has old, liberal columnists (Reimer, Rodericks) who haven’t had an original thought in decades, if ever.

Live with it.
“Ok Baltimore Freepers, lets stop buying this newspaper. Lets hit them where it hurts...the wallet!’
This is a great idea. I had asked that we all do this for July 4, but better late than never.
Brilliant, simply brilliant. Then again, the whole language for women might get tilted by Sarah.
Historian Paul Johnson, in Modern Times laid it out pretty well:
Of the trio of great German imaginative scholars who offer explanations of human behavior in the nineteenth century, and whose corpus of thought the post-1918 world inherited, only two so far have been mentioned. Marx described a world in which the central dynamic was economic interest. To Freud, the principal thrust was sexual. Both assumed that religion, the old impulse that moved men and masses, was a fantasy and always had been. Friedrich Nietzsche, the third of the trio, was also an atheist. But he saw God not as an invention, but as a casualty, and His demise as in some important sense an historical event which would have dramatic consequences. He wrote in 1886: "The greatest event in in recent times - that 'God is Dead,' that the belief in the Christian God is no longer tenable - is beginning to cast its first shadows upon Europe." Among the advanced races, the decline and ultimately the collapse of the religious impulse would leave a huge vacuum. The history of modern times is in great part the history how that vacuum came to be filled. Nietzsche rightly perceived that the most likely candidate would be what he called the 'Will to Power,' which offered a far more comprehensive and in the end more plausible explanation of human behavior than Marx or Freud. In place of religious belief, there would be secular ideology. Those who had once filled the ranks of the totalitarian clergy would become totalitarian politicians. And above all the Will to Power would produce a new kind of messiah, uninhibited by any religious sanctions whatsoever, and with an unappeasable appetite for controlling mankind."
And the new messiah today is...
Susan seems to think her last name is a transitive verb and not an imperative to her readers.
Yep! And in Baltimore and Maryland - bastions of liberalism.
If nothing else it demonstrates how wide an appeal Sarah Palin has!!!
The Democrats will get progressively more panicked as Palin's stock climbs with voting Americans. Fun to watch.
Media elites? I take exception to that. Short of the local, Baltimore area readers of the Sun, had anybody heard of Susan Reimer prior to her screed against Gov. Palin? I think very few. So now we have ineffective feminazi journalists hitching on to the size 8 coattails of Gov. Palin...and getting 'noticed' for it. Sorry but Ms. Reimer should be ashamed...and should be 'frightened.' Not of Palin supporters, but of being 'let go' by the Sun in one of those dinosaur media layoffs thats hitting every rag. Does she, or the editors of the Sun, really think, when subscriptions are falling to all time lows, its good to pi$$ off that many readers? Susie, the next 'indepth' work related question you may wind up asking is 'paper or plastic?'
