Here We Go Again With Liberal Sexism *Open Thread*

By women, that is. We saw this so much back in 2008, first against Hillary Clinton by women in her OWN party, professional feminists choosing Obama over the more experienced woman. And then they turned their sights on Sarah Palin with comments that were so abhorrent and over the top, including wanting Palin to be gang-raped by a group of “black brothers,” courtesy of Sandra Bernhardt. Never mind the young folks wearing their four-letter despicable claims about Palin, including young women.

And here we go again, thanks to those open-minded (cough, choke) women of The View. It was so bad, even a CNN anchor called them out on it (h/t Daily Caller):

Wow. Can you believe that?? I know, I know, I am sure you can believe it. But talk about the sheer hypocrisy of these women writ large. First they use comments about Fiorina to go after Trump, then they double down and say something about Fiorina even WORSE than Trump’s sexist comments about her.

Unfortunately, not all women anchors at CNN are quite so generous to Fiorina. Check out this exchange between Alisyn Camerota from CNN and Fiorina, beginning at the 2:45 mark:

Good for Fiorina for standing her ground, and calling out the liberal bias of the media, especially about women. I think the Left just does not know how to “handle” this incredibly intelligent, articulate, experienced, well versed CONSERVATIVE woman candidate. Then again, they have chosen short-on-substance two terms in a row, and are now wanting to elect a Democrat just because of her gender, so yeah – they probably aren’t used to someone who doesn’t try to evade the questions or shy away from defending herself using FACTS.

There was someone else who came out in defense of Carly Fiorina after the debate. That would be the actor/singer, Donnie Wahlberg, currently on “Blue Bloods.” This is what Wahlberg had to say post-debate, from BizPacReview:

[…] Donnie Wahlberg ✔ @DonnieWahlberg

Believing that @CarlyFiorina, a breast cancer survivor, doesn’t care about women- is as wrong as believing that a female can’t become a CEO!

No kidding!! Way to highlight the hypocrisy, Donnie! Like I didn’t already like you on “Blue Bloods,” now I like you more!

Wahlberg also had this to say about the recent debate:

[…] Donnie Wahlberg ✔ @DonnieWahlberg
I thought @CNBC moderators were meant to moderate while candidates debate. Too many news outlets, too few qualified news people.

Excellent point, Mr. Wahlberg!

As for the moderators, Wahlberg is spot on. There are “too few qualified news people.” Hence why I look forward to the Fox Business Channel hosting the next debate. Maybe the candidates will actually be asked about the economy and business rather than “comic book” presidential campaigns or “Moral authority,” something they NEVER seemed to care about with Obama. Hypocrites. On oh-so-many-levels, I could add…

And with that, I want to move on to another amazing, incredible, strong woman. This one lived back in the 1700’s, though. She was a Blackfoot Indian named Running Eagle, and she hailed from the Glacier National Park area where there is still a Blackfeet Reservation. I hope you can read the text int his photo detailing her exploits (horsewoman, warrior, and chieftain after her father died):

She was an amazing woman on so many levels. After she was killed in battle by a Flathead Indian, she was buried at a waterfall now named Running Eagle Falls near East Glacier and Two Medicine Lake. It is also known as “Trick Falls” since during the Spring and melt seasons, water comes flowing over the top of the Falls as well:

Here is yours truly near the Falls. Fortunately, it was a very short walk from the parking area:

Suzy and me standing on the viewing platform (taken by our friend, Angie):

The thing you cannot get, though, is the SOUND of the Falls as the water comes rushing down or the incredibly clean, sweet smell of the fresh air at that elevation. It was just amazing.

As I noted, we were on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation when we went to that part of Glacier National Park. On the way there, near East Glacier, we passed the entrance to the Reservation marked by these two incredible sculptures. Check out the tops of the flag poles, too:

Aren’t those so cool? What a great reflection of the tribe who live there, and who have lived there for ages.

There is so much more going on today, from the debate/passage on the Boehner-Obama deal to how the new Speaker, Paul Ryan, will run the House, to issues of religious liberty when a football coach can be put on leave for praying on a football field. Feel free to talk about any or all of these, including your impressions of the sexist attacks by the women of the View. This is an Open Thread.
