Why The Media Feminists Hate Palin

Columnist Marc H. Rudov calls them the "fascist feminists." These are the feminists in the media and elsewhere who detest Sarah Palin because of her role as a successful wife and mother and defender of the unborn. Palin's decision to have a Down syndrome child, when 90 percent of these children are being aborted in the womb, has proven in dramatic terms not only that there are articulate pro-life women in America but that there are women who will take a leadership role on "culture of life" issues of concern to millions. And this one could be vice-president of the United States.
It could be the story of our lifetimes, something that could be historical in nature and a lesson for generations to come.
With the Palin pick, a loving and caring pro-life mother has been offered to the American people and especially young women as a role model in the political arena. An article (web site) distributed by Catholic News Service noted in a headline that Sarah Palin is a politician who "lives her truth" and "walks the walk." Don't expect to see any stories like this in the secular "progressive" media.
The feminists and their allies in the media, who treat abortion as a human right, when abortion destroys basic human rights, are on the defensive. Their vicious attacks have already generated a backlash in her favor. But the controversy goes far beyond Palin and the fate of those, now some 40 million, who have lost their lives through abortion. What will we as a society do with the increasing numbers of elderly Americans with health problems? Will they be directed into a national health care plan that rations care, treatments or medicine?
Meanwhile, the culture war is back, and it is clear that most of the controversy over Palin is being driven largely by feminists in the media. On MSNBC, a lesbian feminist, Rachel Maddow, is leading the assault. She is the latest addition to the far-left lineup at this poor excuse for a cable "news" channel.
"This intragender war marks the official unmasking of fascist feminism," Rudov writes in his insightful article on the Newswithviews.com (web site). Palin "rose from hockey mom to state governor without affirmative action," he notes, and has "proved publicly that women can succeed without being victims."
What's more, notes Rudov, "Sarah Palin has achieved success while expressing love and admiration for her husband, anathema to the misandrist underpinning of fascistic feminism."
Palin can never be forgiven for this. That is why she must be destroyed.
Beyond her role as a pro-life mother who loves her husband, Palin is a reminder to the feminists that what they are screaming for in the battle for the right to "choice" is not only a human life but in many cases a disabled child, one of the most innocent and defenseless among us.
