Political Punch

It was clear from the start who the media wanted. Olberman was the worst followed by that idiot Dan Abrams. MSNBC used to be easier to watch than FOX the unfair and imbalanced but they've gotten just as bad. I sure wish we could go back to the days of old journalism when they just reported and didn't practice character assasination under the guise of news.

Olberman, couln't even do sports without attacking a mans character, never mind his talent. He should never have been given a show like this, because he loves to hear himself speak, and God forbid that he would get someone who disagrees with him!! I say we make it a point to get him thrown off of the air!!! Write letters and let them know how out of control this man really is.

Yes, women are being EMOTIONAL when they are passionate about an issue. Men are always being logical. So I guess when Patrick Henry blurted out, "GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH!" he must have been having his monthly cycle and that was why he acted so EMOTIONAL! lolololol Get real! Women are going to do a complete slow down or stop of the skillion jobs they have to do every single day for their families and than let's see how well their families get along. If we're respected but have a difference of opinion in a household about the candidates, fine. If we treated disrespectfully with no regards for our feelings and beliefs, than we will completely stop doing everything, except going to work every day. Gee, I guess we'll be just like men! lolol

It is not just that sexism and unfair media coverage was a big part of this of this primary. It is the result of these nightly shows of horror. We have now had a flawed candidte shoved down our throats who is arrogant, inexperienced and thinks he has been annointed. Remind you of anyone? No we are not whining we are showing our outrage because we love our country and fear that we are getting a pig in a poke. I personaly feel safer with McCain than with Obama. Obama will be run over on every issue because of his inexperience. Having had military experience myself I can assure you that McCain will get us out of Iraq and honorably. Wait until those generals get ahold of Barrack.

To PXB:

So you didn't see Obama and his wife Michelle in the plane complaining and whining when the press and the debate commentors started giving him more difficult questions and began focusing on him? You have tunnel vision. Wah!, Wah!, Wah! The Democratic party has forced Obama down your throats and now you have to fall in line like little sheep being led to slaughter! You think! NOT!!!!!!! Turn in you membership card to the female gender, we don't want you!!

To George Johnson, So you watch Olbermann religiously? What an oxymoron stating relilgiously when talking about Satan himself! lolol Big deal. One sexist watching another big sexist! Who cares? Obama turned this problem into a sexist problem and now we will have the war of the sexes. I thinl ALL women should only go to work and do nothing else at all, just like the men do. If they give you any flack about the Obama situation, stop cooking, stop running the kids all over, stop doing banking errands, etc and see how well they can cope. They'll find out how far they get! What a joke! Women have to do it all and you you guys is go to work and cut the grass! Bunch of dangling doris'.

Marie: I already worked for my reproductive rights. Now it's your turn.

One more Clinton vote for McCain. For the Obama people: He had no problem when his supporters attacked Clinton and her family but turns cry baby about his wife(the boss)-She's off limits. Boo hoo. Prediction: Soon Olbermann will be doing "sports only" shows.

Isn't funny when Women make a statement they are seen as whining. Sexist at its best.

Maybe Keith Olbermann and all you Hillary-haters have drank the kool-aid. It is blatantly obvious that Clinton was treated unfairly and that Obama was annointed by the press. When it comes to Obama the media and many American Democrats drank the Kool Aid. It is obvious that looking at the fact not the rhetoric she has much more knowledge about the issues and would make a better president. Wake up People.

It's disgusting to hear women whining like this....and I say this as a woman. I've yet to hear Barack Obama whining away about the fact that he is also a member of a minority and complaining he got unfair treatment.

Why do women put themselves down by just whining about sexism? Where is the self-esteem in this? What happened to acknowledging faults and responsibiilties? The Clintons - both of them - are fundamentally unable to admit their faults or accept responsibiity for their loss. I've seen them act like little children.. it's blame, blame blame....Blame the media. Blame sexism. Blame their fellow politicians for conspiring against them...These people, specially the husband, play the victim card like nobody else.

Sorry Katie and all you Clintonites, Obama is the person slated to lead the country this time around. Hillary and Bill had their time but that time is gone now. Go ahead and vote for McCain if you like. If he wins you can say goodbye to all those abortions. McCain will likely replace four or more Justices because in 2009 the Supreme Court's average age will be 69. As it is, there are only two that were appointed by a democrat and those two will be 76 and 69 in 2009. the bottom line is that McCain will set women back to the 1960's. So go ahead. Men stand to have a great advantage under a McCain presidency because after the Court repeals Choice all those women will be saddled with children without marriage and they will not be a factor in the workforce. GO OBAMA!!!!

Keith is awesome. I watch his show religously. I stand in total support of the man, he has been one of the only honest voices in the media during the Bush years. His viewership numbers only continue to grow--I'd say that shows he is doing something right.

How about growth of viewers for Courics news show? Not so much you say.

Marie,

Yes, that is precisely the point. We want to drag everyone down with us for our cause. So, that in the future, when sexist behavior emerges, people will remember being drug down for our cause, and will stop the sexist behavior immediately, even if they don't stop it because it the right thing to do, they will stop it. This is what it is all about. We are having to force our hand because the right thing was not done to us. If you want to blame someone for putting a pro-lifer and pro-war person in office in November than point the finger where it should be pointing. Point it at the Democratic party, Obama, his cohort Axelrod, the American people, the black community for turning its back on a couple like the Clintons who gave a combined amount of service in the area of 80 years fighting for the minorities and women's causes. Point your finger and wag your finger and tongue at them. They are the ones who have pushed us over the edge now. They are the ones who bear the responsiblity of a Republican being elected to office in November. Go to the source and not to the fall-out. Get your facts straight. Look at the entire situation honestly. Obviously, you are a pro-Obama person otherwise you would sympathize with us. Obama kept making sexist remarks and went unchecked. The DNC forced Obama down the Democratic party's throat. Gasbags like Kerry and Kennedy made their decision that Obama was their golden child and there was no negotiation. So, put the blame squarely where it belongs. It is not the women. It is on the people who caused this situation to occur. I won't back down. I have dug my heels in and I am staying in this fight for the duration. Marie, where were you with your pointing finger and wagging tongue when the Clintons were swiftboated by their own party regarding FACTS they stated about what factor race plays in a political race? You should have been pointing your finger and wagging your tongue at that time. Don't waste our energy or time. We are in this for the long haul. We have 160 clubs nationwide so far and it is growing every single day by leaps and bounds. Put the blame where it belongs on the washington gasbags and on the sexist behavior that occurred.
Thank you,

The use of Evita even if done by a woman is sexist. Sexism is so engrained in our society that people don't even realize that they are saying something that is sexist. It like the racism talk before the 1960s, it was everywhere and people said things that were racist and didnt' realize it just like sexist talk now.

Studies showed that NBC/MSNBC had the most POSITIVE coverage of Evita, excuse me, Hillary.

Yes, go vote Republican, ladies. Vote for a pro-lifer who will send your children to an endless war and believes women don't make equal pay because "they need education and training". Cut off your noses to spite your own faces. Just don't drag the rest of us down with you.

I believe that Hillary was treated unfairly in the election and that all women feel that the female gender was mocked and ridiculed. This is why we would rather vote Republican than vote for our own party. The Dems could always count on the women block of voters and now their lack of effort to stop the sexism that political pundits and Obama's group spewed could have very well cost Obama the election in November. Women are mobilized and are voting for McCain in November. The deplorable conduct of the pundits, Obama and Axelrod from his campaign was inexcusable. Hillary didn't want to be treated differently, she just wanted to be treated the same as Obama, fairly and that did not happen. I think it is wonderful that women are uniting and boycotting those sexist people who have added more fuel to the fire. And, I think that in November Obama will have a very difficult time being elected. He has to win over the women, the blue collars, over 60s and the poorest of the poor. I don't think he'll pull it off. Women are voting Republican to teach the Democratic party a lesson. If you dump on us when we have been stalwarts for you we will come out in droves and vote Republican. I thank Keith Obermann and Chris Matthew for all their help. They are simply pushing more and more women over the edge to vote Republican in November. Keep up the good work boys! People don't like it that we are not going to go and sit in a corner and accept whatever the Dem party throws down our throats. Those days are gone forever so get used to it. We are here to stay as a powerful force and will unit every time such nonsense happens ever again! Thank you ladies for your comments here. Keep the fire burning...

Thank you,

I wanted to express my condolences to Tim Russert's family. He was like a brother to every person in this country. We feel as though we have lost a relative. It is ashame that we have had to lose one who always remained objective and honest and didn't allow his objectivity to be clouded by his own prejudice. You will be sorely missed Tim! We love you!
Mary Anne

It is a sad, sad day for journalism. The loss of a thoughtful, intelligent and sensible gentleman like Tim Russert coupled with the irony of a dangerous idealogue like Keith Olbermann anchoring the coverage of his untimely death made me sick to my stomach. Olbermann has no business anchoring anything resembling news. He is entitled to his opinions but if MSNBC had any journalistic values left they would at least require an opposing opinion once and a while on his show and NEVER let him anchor election coverage. I worked in news for 12 years and these past two have been the most troubling. What ever happened to fair, unbiased reporting? We'll miss you Tim. MSNBC, please honor his legacy by yanking that hack Olbermann off the air immediately.

I have boycotted CNN news, Chris Mathews, and K. Olberman. I also make a point of not buying many of the products advertised on CNN and MSNBC. No need to make them rich for being so unethical.

This grass root boycotting effort does work! After 9/11, I joined an effort to boycott all French wine for being anti-american, and that industry suffered! Join me in boycotting these unethical news channels.
