Commentary: Sexist treatment of Palin must end (Campbell Brown insanity)
CNN ^ | 9/24/2008 | Campbell Brown

Posted on 09/24/2008 11:14:30 AM PDT by james500

Frankly I have had it, and I know a lot of other women out there who are with me on this. I have had enough of the sexist treatment of Sarah Palin. It has to end.

She was in New York on Tuesday meeting with world leaders at the U.N. And what did the McCain campaign do?

They tried to ban reporters from covering those meetings. And they did ban reporters from asking Gov. Palin any questions.

I call upon the McCain campaign to stop treating Sarah Palin like she is a delicate flower who will wilt at any moment.

This woman is from Alaska for crying out loud. She is strong, she is tough, she is confident. And you claim she is ready to be one heartbeat away from the presidency. If that is the case, then end this chauvinistic treatment of her now. Allow her to show her stuff.

Allow her to face down those pesky reporters just like Barack Obama did today, just like John McCain did today. Just like Joe Biden has done on numerous occasions. Let her have a real news conference with real questions.

Re: This woman is from Alaska for crying out loud

This is the sort of drivel you’d expect on blogs written by teens in their basement, not a “professional” journalist.

Absolutely. No. Standards.

Is your Father still in prison Campbell?

Brown is still pissed that she was dumped by the “Today” show.

Where is Michelle Obama these days?

Campbell, if the media would act as if it were collectively over the age of twelve, I’ll bet it would be surprised how much more access it would get.

What’s clear here is that the MSM reporters think it is their job to take Palin down, and if they can’t get access, they can’t carry out that assignment.

Boo hoo.

Campbell Brown--a legend in her own mind. Who wants to face a bunch of howling, snapping wolves who torture your every utterance into something they want you to say. Why face the rudeness? Pick and choose, and keep garnering thousands, and let Campbell, Wolfie, et al bay at the moon like the vampires they are.

These Obama hacks are very, very, confident they are winning.

How can we stop them?

Leftie wackos can snipe and slime form any position.

Campbell Brown proves this by doing so while flat on her back.

O’Reilly has been whining all week about the many reasons Palin should come onto HIS show, too.

This has nothing to do with sexism, they’ve just found a PC way to whine about not having access to the hottest commodity on the planet. Nothing but pimping their own ratings.

Isn’t this more than a little like the lions taking offense that the Christians won’t come out and play?

The blocked media access was said to stem from a miscommunication to a staffer. The democrats aren't buying that for a minute as they believe only their campaigns have the right to screw up.
