KATHY IRELAND SEES NEW LOW IN POLITICS
http://www.aolnews.com/opinion/article ^

There are so many warning signs that negativity is devouring honest political discourse in our country, and one of these recently made me a very unwilling part of it. When misogyny becomes part of victory at any price, our democracy is embarrassed and endangered.

Here's what happened, and here's why I'm angry and why I feel any American of whatever party or gender should be furious too.

Suddenly it was widely reported on the Internet that a GOP political blog in Minnesota had posted a disgusting video that proclaimed Republican women -- candidates and supporters -- are attractive and that their Democratic counterparts are, in the most disturbing and distorted photo presentations in their video, just the opposite. This vulgarity and flat-out misrepresentation of all women identified as Democrats was to the accompaniment of the rock song "Who Let the Dogs Out?" That shows the level of maturity.

Neither link works. OTOH, I wonder if she got this exercised over the say Sarah Palin has been treated by the left over these past couple years...

IIRC, Ms Ireland was previously identified as a Republican.

So was Arlen Specter. :) At least she has the looks...

Yeah. That’ll help. Ms Ireland is a Republican, FWIW.

Well I read the article and agree with her.

First off, why would anyone get excised over what a blogger would do. Secondly this is a fairly innocuous blog....I mean he's calling democrat women ugly....dem blogers are wishing death on republicans. Secondly there is a hint of truth in what he says!!!

No distortion necessary. It's true.

Liberal women are fountains of ugly that start in the soul and gush outward to grotesque personalities and finally ooze out in the form of repulsive visages.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

I always have a problem with people who won't admit the truth.

I can't think of one good looking female liberal democrat politician. There are some good looking female democrats (with gray matter between their ears) but not the politicians.

On the other hand I can list quite a few good looking female conservatives.

(I did not read the whole article)

I’ll bet she’s not ticked at the treatment of Governor Palin and her family, even though she’s almighty peeved at the “conservative women are hotter” video.

Now - to see if I’m right...
