The Anchoress
I’d just finished whipping out my credit card and donating to McCain/Palin again when I saw this, (H/T Lorie Byrd) and it almost made me donate again, except I’m broke.
This MAN – who I will not link to – suggests, with absolutely no knowledge of anything, because before 4 days ago Sarah Palin was not even a blip on his radar:
I DO think she [Palin] flew at a dangerous time in her pregnancy and then took her time getting to a hospital in an attempt to force a miscarriage, however. Or I suspect that’s the case, and there’s no way to prove that.
Again, so we’re clear: this is a MAN, who is suggesting that every woman who flies in the 8th month of her pregnancy is being reckless. This is a MAN who is presuming to know – or to more properly project his own inclinations into – Palin’s mind. This is a MAN (and I am no gender warrior, but let’s be clear that this is a so-called LIBERAL MAN) sitting there cheerfully assigning the most awful motives to a woman he does not know, but whom he hates with passion…apparently because she is a woman and a smart, strong woman who is also a conservative.
This is a LIBERAL MAN, who probably argues for abortion rights up to the ninth month of pregnancy, suggesting that a woman with four children, who knew her body, knew what her labors was like, and who called her doctor, conferred with him and made a DECISION with him, was actually just trying to kill her baby, which – suddenly – he seems to find an immoral idea!
And excuse me, but aren’t DECISIONS made between a woman and her doctor sort of…sacred, to these folks? Or have they been just yammering about this for 40 years and lying their heads off? Or are they just bloody hypocrites?
I cannot imagine that sane women from the center or the center-left can listen to this stunning misogyny, which flies in the face of four decades of powerful debate and rhetoric, and feel peaceful with this relentless attack upon a woman, launched immediately and chillingly at the very heart of her womanhood, before she had made one campaign stop. The message is: you women better know your place, and it is in the party, under the men who screwed Hillary out of her shot.
The hope, apparently, is that they will chase Sarah Palin away. They’d better hope they do not succeed. Because every thinking woman in America will have seen what they did, and how they did it, by attacking womanhood and motherhood and the private and career decisions of a gifted woman. And those women will look at their own lives and their daughters, and they will not sit there and take it.
Look at what their shocking hate is doing to these people. And they don’t even know Sarah Palin; they are so terrified of the tiny bit they’ve seen that they just went into immediate, rabid and unnatural attack.
The commenters at Dirty Harry’s Place do a good job of exposing his ignorance. Hello, an 8th month birth is a premature delivery, not a miscarriage. If she’d been in labor, her doctor would not have had to induce her.
I wrote about all this several days ago.
Unlike these creatures, who want to think nothing but the worst of Sarah Palin, all five of her children, her husband and – if she has one – her dog, I don’t want to believe the worst about Obama. But I am really starting to wonder about the weird co-incidence that the Koskidz started a rumor – based on nothing – about Palin, and her daughter Bristol, and then it turns out that Bristol is pregnant. We know now that the press knew about the pregnancy.
The press is in the tank for Obama, we know that. When I read Allahpundit a while ago, I thought, “no” – but now, I have to wonder: did the Koskidz bungle a leak from the Obama camp?
Anyone find it amazingly coincidental that Daily Kos went after Palin’s own pregnancy right out of the chute on Friday, with no apparent evidence whatsoever, and now we find out that her daughter’s actually pregnant? I usually scoff at the idea of party researchers planting memes with bloggers, especially since the nutroots is so paranoid about that happening on the right, but that’s a simply remarkable stoke of good luck on their part, no?
I don’t believe Obama would do it. But his “camp” might. Remember, his “camp” greeted the news of Palin’s addition to the ticket with nastiness and a distinct lack of common political courtesy or generosity. Obama had to walk it back.
The co-incidence is pretty neat, isn’t it? I wonder who leaked it.
Ace writes: Don’t believe a damn word the lefties write about the Palins.
Don’t worry, I won’t. Their credibility is finally, utterly, used up with me.
If there was ever a time to ask, “have you no shame. Finally, have you no shame,” this is it.

Coincidentally, Mike’s Noise looks at all of this and sees how little these people understand about their opponents, and he cannot help but quote Jonah Goldberg from his book, Liberal Fascism
