Does anyone else get tired of both 'wings' of the political landscape?
It would be great if someone could articulate the issue thoroughly, demonstrating a clear and incisive understanding of the issue, and then offer course of actions that then can be deliberated on.
Too much attention is paid to all the tertiary nonsense that is out there. Why? Because it sells.
If I got your drift with this, it shouldn't have been lost amongst the schoolyard taunts, degrees of 'evil', and whose is biggest comparisons.
We will always bristle more when it is somebody we admire who is vilely attacked than when it is somebody we think deserves it. We will always defend those we agree with more emphatically than we defend those we despise.
But in the process we lose what this thread is really about. It isn't just about conservative women. It is the way the media, the critics, the politicos, the commentators, all the talking heads, and the photographers treat women in general.
When is the last time you saw a detailed commentary on how a prominent male was dressed for an occasion? When is the last time you saw a detailed commentary on physical attributes of a male politico? (I mean other than a passing snarky jab at Rush Limbaugh being fat or Henry Waxman's nostrils?)
Prominent women are treated much differently than prominent men, and the kinds of hostility directed at them are generally far more personal and unkind than the kinds of adjectives attached to the guys.
At least that is my observation.
And if my observation is correct, then THAT is what should be addressed here rather than whether Conservatives or Liberals are bashed more cruelly.
