Sexism toward Wendy Davis revives war on women
Wahington Square News ^ | 2/3/14 | Christina Coleburn

After leading a high-profile filibuster, skyrocketing to Democratic stardom and raising over $12 million, State Senator Wendy Davis and her gubernatorial campaign now face a major challenge — recovering from discrepancies in her biography. Since The Dallas Morning News released a damaging exposé about her early life, Davis has been subjected to intense criticism from conservatives and some has taken a disgustingly sexist turn. RedState editor Erick Erickson, who often refers to Davis as “Abortion Barbie,” tweeted that she “had a Sugar Daddy Ken” and “is so cute when she is lying

Um, Wendy Davis left her kids with her second husband. ***HER OLDEST WASN’T EVEN BIOLOGICALLY HIS***

Wendy Davis lied. Openly.

Wendy Davis made abortion a big issue.

Isn’t it interesting that Feminists support the Democrats? What with Bill Clinton’s sexual escapades and the party screwing Hillary out of the Democrat nomination in 2008?

Where is the Feminists condescending lectures about what is said about Sarah Palin or Bristol Palin?

I know she doesn’t care and that’s the point.

Everyone knows that "Abortion Barbie" is sexist while "Caribou Barbie" isn't because only women have abortions while any "nut with a gun" can hunt caribou!

(I'm surprised no one ever asked Palin if she could spell "Caribou".)

Democrats revive the “war on women” meme whenever it suits their purpose of distracting from their continuous war on babies (abortion) and war on families (homosexual agenda). But let a black conservative or female conservative run for the presidency, then the left will let you see what war is all about.

“”This is why conservatives should have just ignored her. She was going nowhere in the polls, now she is becoming a leftist darling.””

“One more thing conservatives aren’t allowed to speak of?”

Its not a matter of being allowed to speak, strategically it makes no sense to bring someone to prominence who is a nobody and make them a hero. Fluk was a good example. No one ever heard of this B***H until Rush made her famous. She became symbolic of the immaginary War on women which stirred up the feminazis and gave them reason to vote. Now they want to run her for the senate. Sometimes its smart to let dying candidates die.

Cowardice is not a winning strategy. It doesn’t matter what excuse you make for it, its still a loser.

How is it "sexist" to point out that a candidate (no matter what sex he/she may be) is a liar? Or does merely being female insulate a candidate against that particular charge?

For the benefit of the author of the article, the correct answers to the above questions are 1) It isn't, and 2) No.

One thing we know for certain about Wendy Davis is that she is a liar. There is no doubt about that fact. A second thing we may surmise about Wendy Davis, given her leaving her husband the day after he finished paying for her legal training, is that she is essentially a prostitute. (Well, that's what her behavior says, anyway.)

Abortion, gun control, and clamping-down on the oil and gas industry. That is her platform...in Texas.

Who are you kidding?

Her claim to fame is abortion. She came to national prominence on that very issue. And conservatives ARE NOT afraid of addressing that subject.

The correct term is “Bent Hanger Barbie” which I have been using since she opposed bringing abortion clinics up to the same standards which every other outpatient surgery center in Texas must meet.

And, no, it is not hurting us even a tiny bit in north Texas because all the little death cultists slink off when you phrase that issue in terms of preserving the life of teenage moms and reducing the likelihood of sterility as a side effect of an abortion.

Its a win/win because the chop shops all have been closing so they can’t kill any kids here at the moment, and when compliant mills open up they will cost more per precedure.

99% of lib, female scribblers only care about one issue: abortion. I’ve been reading their scuzzy writings for over forty years, and every last one of them goes ballistic over the possibility that abortion might be eliminated or merely limited. Davis could be for smashing puppies with sledgehammers, but as long she champions abortion “rights”, she’ll get the approval of the female uh journalists.

No kidding, Davis is the idiot who had women walking around with tampons hanging from their ears and Sarah Silverman auctioning off her used ones to raise funds.

Not drawing attention to that kind of insanity would itself be insane especially in Texas.
