The Democrats built up all three of these bozos, convincing Americans they somehow added something to the conversation. In fact they simply used them to gather political support. And when their usefulness ended, like Sheehan, they were discarded.
This is the Democrat way: use women for their own pleasure and benefit and then discard when needed. The party of "women as objects" as typified by Bill "The Rapist" Clinton, Ted Kennedy, and Chris Dodd tell women that Republicans are really their enemies. That some people fall for it is sad.
Do you know what is one of conservatives' main problems? You guys treat people with contempt if and when they have the temerity to have an opinion that does not march in lock step with yours. As bad as that is, then you mock them and anything they say. You guys have some kind of what I can only describe as a sick need to belittle other people if and when their values are different than yours. Even if someone votes for a candidate you support, it's beyond me why it is that you think you'll ever win converts to your points of view with that kind of a contemptuous attitude.
The irony there is off the charts.
If you think that pointing to a lone example of something the same or similar on the liberal end of the spectrum negates my comment, you're wrong by country mile. Not that I didn't expect it since I've seen the tactic used incessantly as if any comparison negates all evidence to the contrary.
I've been listening to talk radio for a little over twenty years now. And if and when I elect to go back and forth up and down the dial during the course of a morning, AND then an afternoon, AND then an evening, AND then on into the late night, for every Ed Shultz who occasionally shows up on one show, and even equally as infrequently has what I would describe as "a moment," there are probably twenty shows or rebroadcasts of conservative shows that dole out a constant contemptuous drumbeat hour after hour. That doesn't even include the overtly conservative religious broadcasters who generally use what I would refer to as a somewhat softer partisan voice which is little more than a rhetorical hammer with a velvet covering to soften the harshness of the message without truly changing the substance of the message.
This goes on day after day after day. And do you know what? I don't even live in a conservative city. I live in Denver. I can only imagine how much more pronounced it would be in Texas, or Arizona, or anywhere in the South where it's unlikely any other views are aired on the airwaves which have been gobbled up in the wake of deregulation and now reflect a more centralized conservative programming message.
