Bristol Palin Sets Perfect Catch-22 for President Obama

[Mike X Man 37]

No catch 22. BTW...some seem to forget that Obama's campaign in 2008 said the candidate's family members (including Palin's) were out of bounds as far as attacks were concerned. Obama does not owe Bristol any apology for comments made by Maher. That is so stupid! We would have to demand Sarah Palin, her mom, to apologize for the racist and sexist things Limbaugh has said about Obama's wife and liberal women in general.

Bristol Palin doesn't even know what a catch 22 is, doesn't know how to spell it, let alone how to set one up. Bristol Palin setting up the President? Now that's funny.

Now, you need to make a public apology to Bristol Palin.

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

Now, you need to make a public apology to Bristol Palin.

Why? Because I stated a simple fact? I don't apologize for making statements based on fact.

So, if a woman is handicapped, or disabled, it's okay to publicly ridicule her, based on your assumption that Bristol Palin is so mentally deficient.

Complain to the author of the piece in the OP. He's the one ridiculing Bristol Palin. To use your metaphor, he's basically saying that a mute person is winning American Idol. I'm just stating the simple fact that one would have to have a voice - a good one at that - to win that contest. You see? You're mad at the wrong person here, buddy.

BUt again, using your logic, it's okay to ridicule a handicapped person if they are handicapped?

But again, I did not ridicule anyone. The author of the piece posted in the OP did. Ask him that question.

In case anybody is interested, this is what Bristol wrote:

Dear President Obama,

You don’t know my telephone number, but I hope your staff is busy trying to find it. Ever since you called Sandra Fluke after Rush Limbaugh called her a #######, I figured I might be next. You explained to reporters you called her because you were thinking of your two daughters, Malia and Sasha. After all, you didn’t want them to think it was okay for men to treat them that way:

“One of the things I want them to do as they get older is engage in issues they care about, even ones I may not agree with them on,” you said. “I want them to be able to speak their mind in a civil and thoughtful way. And I don’t want them attacked or called horrible names because they’re being good citizens.”

And I totally agree your kids should be able to speak their minds and engage the culture. I look forward to seeing what good things Malia and Sasha end up doing with their lives.

But here’s why I’m a little surprised my phone hasn’t rung. Your $1,000,000 donor Bill Maher has said reprehensible things about my family. He’s made fun of my brother because of his Down’s Syndrome. He’s said I was “f—-d so hard a baby fell out.” (In a classy move, he did this while his producers put up the cover of my book, which tells about the forgiveness and redemption I’ve found in God after my past – very public — mistakes.)

If Maher talked about Malia and Sasha that way, you’d return his dirty money and the Secret Service would probably have to restrain you. After all, I’ve always felt you understood my plight more than most because your mom was a teenager. That’s why you stood up for me when you were campaigning against Sen. McCain and my mom — you said vicious attacks on me should be off limits.

Yet I wonder if the Presidency has changed you. Now that you’re in office, it seems you’re only willing to defend certain women. You’re only willing to take a moral stand when you know your liberal supporters will stand behind you.

But…

What if you did something radical and wildly unpopular with your base and took a stand against the denigration of all women… even if they’re just single moms? Even if they’re Republicans?

I’m not expecting your SuperPAC to return the money. You’re going to need every dime to hang on to your presidency. I’m not even really expecting a call. But would it be too much to expect a little consistency? After all, you’re President of all Americans, not just the liberals.

quick review here: obama takes the time to call & console a woman that was proped up by pelosi & co. to deliver a very slanted (thats code for BULLSHIT) testimony before a house committee due to misogynistic statements by a radio show host.

a campaign doner/tv show host makes misogynnistic comments about a woman associated with the republican party & we hear crickets from the president & the rest of the democrats.

that does not equate that the president OWES anyone a call, but i sure does illustrate a double standard.

Even Bristol recalls Obama standing up for her during his campaign in 2008 so there is beyond nothing to see here. RWN's are so silly!

[one...two...tree 2,762]

Obama had skin in the game - this was an attack not only on that Harvard student but against the Affordable Health Care Act itself, which has been a big thorn in the side of Limberger and other RWN pundits. So what if Obama's call to the student was political? Rush's attack on her was political as well. Smart move on Obama's part. Limberger bit off more than he could chew on this one and it's cost him dearly. Obama scores on this one...too bad for RWN's.

That was 2008 -- candidate Obama did the right thing, this is 2012 -- President Obama is inconsistent. LWNJs and liberal moonbats are both inconsistent and hypocritical!

[one...two...tree 2,762]

Sounds like a lot of sore loseritis in the game of politics. Perhaps it's time the GOP establishment put a choke collar on Limberger before he further alienates women voters from the Republican Party.
