WCF responds to sexist attacks on Coakley, Snowe and Collins

[mogenim]

Woo! I support you. Even though I'm from the UK.

When you start speaking out against the treatment of Sarah Palin by the Mainstream media maybe you'll have some credibility. It's amazing that some people are offended by comments directed at people that they support but when those same comments are directed at someone they dislike it doesn't sound so offensive.

[SharkSport]

You released ONE statement on Palin? And you take yourself seriously? Sorry, but we don't. Your hypocrisy is crystal clear.

[WCFonline]

Actually, WCF released this statement in September 2008: "We hope that no question is asked of Governor Palin, which would not be asked of the male candidates as well. We hope the media will refrain from stereotyping comments that damage all women regardless of party affiliation or ideological position."

As a nonpartisan organization, we don't agree with sexism being used against any woman candidate.

Gee Sammy, where were you when Sarah Palin was being viciously attacked in some of the most misogynistic ways?

I am a Black person and I see the likes of Al Sharpton and "Messy" Jessie Jackson do this all time - show indignation ONLY WHEN Black democrats are victims of racism.

Sammy seems to have a bad case of arbitrary indignation. Nice try Sammy but your brand of feminism seems to be guided by political partisanship.

to dlwke2, restrainednomore and 1helluva guy: what's played out is crying 'Palin!' every time someone has the guts to call out sexism. You all assume she's biased- but you'll notice if you *listen* that this video calls out sexism aimed at BOTH republican and dem women. Unfortunately some people only hear what they want to hear.

dlwke2 - I love that you're attacking a woman for talking about sexism by being sexist. Calling her "Sammy" definitely takes her down a few pegs, right? And then finish her off by calling her a pathetic idiot who lost her Congressional race. Well done.

Please stop trying to pretend that the radical right does anything to actually support women. It's the most absurd of claims, as you continually try to strip away our rights to make health decisions and *gasp* fight for equal pay.

[dlwke2]

No wonder this Sammy Bennett idiot in the video lost! She's pathetic.

[dlwke2]

Self-important Sammy Bennett apparently doesn't care that the deranged left is the worst at sexist filth. Sammy apparently is a hypocrite & only says anything when it's a Dem who's on the receiving end of name-calling. Hey, Sammy, it is the deranged left who supports woman-hating radical islam and who routinely attacks conservative women with the most obscene filth imaginable. Sammy should have a good cry when gender card-playing Martha is beaten by Scott Bown. This vid is a joke!

I don't like Palin, but where were you when she was getting attacked? If you did defend her great. But I kinda doubt it.

[mogenim]

@1helluvaguy Sarah Palin was selected as a cheap political gimmick to attract female voters with a so-called "feminist" Republican who opposes abortion completely and did more to attract conservative men by being an ex-beauty queen. She was an insult to women and a perfect example of how Republicans just do not get sexism.

[RestrainedNoMore]

No woman????so where were you during Sarah Palin's run as VP? or anytime she was attacked by the mediaand Hollywood. Hmmmm?? Yeah, we get it, only support women who think like you. very tiring and typical for a fraud.

and please stop playing the sexist card, that's as bad as playing the race card- and this is coming from an ethnic woman.

you don't fool anyone, but good luck

[mogenim]

@RestrainedNoMore - it's often the case women and ethnic minorities feel more comfortable playing to the power structure than they do recognising it for what it is and having the guts to challenge it.
