**SNIP**
Most of the attacks against Davis are sexist. As a columnist for Breibart.com tweeted: "Wendy Davis: My story of attending Harvard Law on my husband's dime while he took care of the kids is a story every woman can relate to." Talking Points Memo has a plethora of examples of the full-force sexist attacks. And Twitter exploded earlier this week with the #MoreFakeThanWendyDavis hashtag, making fun of Davis for being a liar.
The problem is that the Dallas Morning News article that caused this backlash is questionable at best, and is undeniably sexist in its telling of Davis' story. Slater implies that Davis was a negligent mother in order to pursue her education and political career, and that she used her husband for his money. He quotes an "anonymous source" that claims that "Wendy [Davis] is tremendously ambitious. She's not going to let family or raising children or anything else to get in her way."
The "blurred facts", according to Slater, were that Davis says she divorced at 19, when in fact she had only separated from his first husband at 19, with the divorce being finalized when she was 21. Slater says that Davis overstates her time living as a single mother in a trailer, explaining that "she lived only a few months in a family mobile home while separated from her husband before moving into an apartment".

But what if its true? Will the liar tell us?
Exposing RATS is a dirty business.
“Painting Wendy Davis as a bad mother is political sexism at its worst”
Actually, it seems to be an undeniable FACT.
Guess I missed the Guardian editorial where they complained of the “unfair” and “sexist” media criticism of Sarah Palin.
/s
The woman is a grifter bimbo.
Sorry, Guardian, but that’s the way it usually is with folks you defend.
And they railroaded Cain for commenting to a women that she was as tall as his wife........
Pointing out that she’s a liar isn’t painting her as a bad mother. The truth is what paints her as a bad mother.
I was just about to say, no, Sandra Bernhard (whatever her name is, you know, the fugly lesbian so-called comedian) calling for Sarah Palin to be raped in a NYC alley by the fugly lesbo’s “black brothers” was sexism at its worst-amongst all the other ugly, ugly things which have been said about Palin (including what got that fruitcKe Bashit fired).
Calling Wendy Davis out on her lies isn’t sexist, unless “strong women” get a pass for lying to look like victims. “I am woman, hear me mewl”.
Jessica Luther doesn’t have to worry as the voters in Texas
will sort it all out by Nov. 2014.
Painting her as anything other than a mole-faced, bottle blonde, gold digging road whore is journalistic malpractice.
but it was a-okay when they did it to Sarah Palin...
Blah, blah, blah. And if you are against Obama it’s because you are a racist...
;-)
Exposing her lies is not painting her as anything but a liar.
Painting her in the worst possible light is part of the lefts game plan for 2016.
They will have to compare and contrast her with another women. To show how the other woman was a victim, has a family and stuck by her man when he had his transgressions.
Hmmmm.. Who would that be?
This is page 5 in the Democrat playbook. Question is how much is Wendy Davis getting from the Clinton’s PAC?
Wenchy Davis abandoned her two daughters.
Exactly. Sarah Palin was painted as a bad mother because she chose to give birth and love her baby.
Telling the truth about Democrats is EVIL.
She may be a good mother...but she certainly is a BAD liar!
She should not have lied and she wouldn’t have this problem.
If “painting” Wendy is sexism then throwing the whole bucket of paint on Sarah Palin by the Democrats is sexism at its worst.
