Special "Woo hoo Wookie woman, she got the moonbat in her eye" Edition...

Jackie Gingrich Cushman at Townhall.com:

"Palin's focus is on the will of the people. Her visuals are positive and uplifting... The Emily's List video's unidentified growling women in grizzly suits come off more like mean girls than mama grizzlies. The juxtaposition between Palin smiling and hugging people, and the Emily's List growlers is almost too good to be true -- for Palin."

VotingFemale:

"Honest to goodness! This Obama Mama Wookies video saying Sarah Palin does not speak for them is a RIOT! I nearly fainted from laughing at them!!!"

The Daley Gator:

"The latest pathetic Liberal attempt to smear Sarah Palin... this awful video, and by awful I mean worse than 'Natural Born Killers'... So, basically, the entire video is dedicated to women, dressed in corny bear costumes telling 'bear-faced' lies about what Sarah Palin stands for."

Jane Jamison at Uncoverage.net:

"The length and breadth and extent to which liberal leftie women will go to attack Sarah Palin…is bordering on psychotic."

Nice Deb:

"These are the weakest and ugliest mama grizzlies I’ve ever seen. These feministas fail miserably at the most important trait of the mama grizzly bear, the trait that pretty much defines a mama grizzly’s character. She fights to protect her young. She doesn’t advocate killing them... These mama grizzlies are just as fake as they look. A better analogy would be worker bees – infertile collectivists who believe that the rights of the individual should be forfeited for the good of group."

Samuel Gonzalez at The Last Tradition:

"Never underestimate a Liberal's capacity for stupidity."

Kempite at White House 2012:

"Instead of using their resources to support their fellow liberal feminists, the group invested their time and money into even creating a website for their new anti-Palin campaign... On the site you will find one of the most asinine and embarrassingly vindictive videos imaginable. It is complete with tired old liberal cliché, after cliché, and in my opinion sets the feminist movement back twenty years..."

Doug Brady at Conservatives 4 Palin:

"There is nothing quite like angry liberals dressing up in really bad Halloween costumes and saying stupid, incoherent things."

Rufus at threedonia.com:

"I honestly feel sorry for the women in this ad... There is no logic to their statements at all. They are free to protect their children. They are free to buy medicine for their children and they are free to hire physicians to care for their children’s health. They are free to purchase health insurance. They are also free to hibernate with any number of consenting bears they may find. And there isn’t a single statement Sarah Palin has made in objection to any of these things."

Moe Lane:

"Seriously, though: what the heck is it with Left-feminists, anyway? Every time they speak out these days it’s apparently their goal to cater to yet another sexual fetish."

Cassy Fiano at NewsReal Blog:

"EMILY’s List decided to make a video trying to hijack the term mama grizzlies from Sarah Palin. This plan radically backfired, and they’ve been the laughingstock of the blogosphere ever since... Sarah Palin doesn’t speak for these women. Sarah Palin is a pro-life conservative Republican. These women are pro-abortion lefty femisogynists. The major difference? Sarah Palin wouldn’t likely tell these women that they can’t call themselves feminists or that they aren’t true women."

theblogprof:

"Palin Derangement Syndrome is alive and well..."

Merv Benson at Prairie Pundit:

"Even Palin's offbeat male endorsements are shrewdly picked to work on her behalf if she chooses to run in 2012. Liberal women have always seen her as a threat. That is because they are liberals first and feminist second. The Emily's List crowd just recognizes that the "Mama Grizzlies" campaign is a existential threat to the election of liberals."

Jessica Grose at Slate's XX factor blog:

"I think liberals must cede this round in the debate to the sassy Ms. Palin. The Emily's List video wasn't gathering liberals around an electrifying idea—it was attempting to co-opt Palin's very effective rallying cry."

Jedediah Bila at Human Events:

"I’ve said it before about Sarah Palin and I’ll say it again: that earmark-slashing, fiscally responsible, 10th Amendment-upholding, veteran-loving, pro-Constitution, cost-cutting, transparency-advocating, fetus-friendly, oil and gas aficionado is a menace! As entertaining as the EMILY’s List video is—and I truly do thank you, ladies, as I’ve been waiting with bated breath for something to induce a fit of laughter besides Keith Olbermann speaking—there’s much more fun to come... The EMILY’s List ladies are certainly entitled to their opinions. This is America, after all. But misrepresenting policy in order to market propaganda shouldn’t be the trademark of any organization, be it on the left or the right. Now I’d love to stick around, but I’m about to get suited up in a donkey costume for my “Party of No” video on the DNC. Hee-haw!"

Special "Femisogynists, rads and Ewoks, oh my!" Edition...

Jason at StoryBalloon.org:

"Emily's Lists Creates Anti-Sarah Palin Ad Mocking Her 'Momma Grizzlies' Line... This is one of the stupidest commercials I’ve ever seen. I doubt it will change a single person’s mind on Sarah Palin. A bunch of furry moonbats with too much time on their hands."

Christine at A Catholic View:

"It's pretty ironic to hear pro-aborts say 'she doesn't speak for me' about a pro-lifer when they do so much damage to women with abortion. (they also look pretty silly in those costumes :)"

H Hughes at The New Agenda:

"Is this the best that liberal and Democratic women get? Just a negative ad and an ask for money? Just a low budget video with women in costumes? Couldn’t you at least show us one woman’s face, perhaps one who is running for office and very likely needs our support? ... There is a problem here. If any liberals are scratching their heads wondering why so many women view Sarah Palin as an icon for women’s empowerment, this could be why."

Amy at Modern Commentaries:

"Left tries 'Mama Grizzlies', fails horribly..."

David Gianatasio at AdWeek Blogs:

"Emily's List takes the wrong approach in this anti-Sarah-Palin video, showing women dressed up in bear masks and paws... Plus, these women complain and actually growl. Who wants to come home to that after a rough day at the office? No wonder they're raising their 'cubs' alone. Compared to these shaggy whiners, Palin sounds reasoned and thoughtful."

S. Weasel at Weasel Times & Stoat Intelligencer:

"Why is it when lefties really, really want to persuade the rest of us, they always dress up, strip naked or use puppets?"

Frank J at IMAO:

"Liberals counter Sarah Palin’s mama grizzlies by having women dress up as Ewoks and demand abortion... You’d think with the drubbing the left is about to take in November, that would motivate them to act less like weirdos, but it’s possible they don’t even know how to do that. They knew that Palin’s mama grizzlies stuff is popular, so they thought that if they put on bear costumes and whine about the things liberals always whine about, then maybe they would be popular — I don’t really know how their deranged minds work."

William A. Jacobson at Le·gal In·sur·rec·tion:

"I know mama grizzlies, mama grizzlies are friends of mine, and Emily's List ladies, you're no mama grizzlies."

Daisy at Chicks On The Right:

"The chicks in this video hate Sarah Palin so much that they’re willing to look like toddlers on Halloween by dressing up in really bad bear outfits, making bear-like sounds, and talking about how if Palin was in charge, they’d have no healthcare for their kids. And you know, their daughters wouldn’t have the right to freakin’ choose. They haaaate Palin so much, and instead of being examples of REAL independent, self-sufficient women, they’d rather bitch and moan about how the government needs to take care of them and stuff."

Da Techguy:

"The Ewock of Emily’s list, a group that is supposed to exist to advance women in office, hate Sarah Palin so much that they proudly declare their grandchildren expendable."

Kini at E Māua Ola i Moku o Keawe:

"Their hatred of Sarah Palin is downright hilarious and condescending. They want Obama, they want Obamacare, they want government funded abortions, they want socialism, they want bigger government, and they want your money. Nuff said, they all want your stuff."

Robert Wiles at Palin Promotions:

"Sarah is pro-life, so they hate her. Plain and simple. All the attack proves is that Sarah is getting under their skin and is winning the battle."

Stacy McCain at The Other McCain:

"I stopped cold at the woman expressing adamant support for her daughter’s 'right to choose.' Isn’t that kind of creepy? Basically, you’re saying that the abortion of your own grandchild is such a grand idea as to assume paramount importance in your political worldview. Yeah, I know: She’s talking about the 'right to choose,' but the abstract right to abortion can’t be separated from the concrete reality of abortion, and that reality is a gruesome, blood-chilling thing to consider. Philosophical theorizing about 'rights' can’t elude that reality. And neither can bear costumes."

Phineas at Sister Toldjah:

"On matters of national politics and policy, whom do you take more seriously? A Sarah Palin talking with gravity about empowering women to deal responsibly with the problems facing the nation, or a bunch of women dressed like … a dating service for furries?"

Jill Stanek:

"The problem, of course, is EMILY’s List and its bear-en followers abhor cubs, which makes it pretty hard to portend mama grizzliness. And so the female grizzlies in EMILY’s video make such incoherent statements as, 'Sure, I attack when my cubs are threatened,' and 'But wanna know what threatens me? My daughter not having the right to choose.' Um, no, you depraved, savage female grizzlies kill your cubs, thereby leaving no female offspring to kill their cubs, your grandcubs. Nice try but what idiots."

Morgan at My Two Cents Worth:

"In short, if these women are supposed to be mama grizzlies, they make the poorest excuse I've ever seen. I've seen a mama grizzly defend her cubs; Sarah Palin fits that description, not these women in their lousy costumes."

Dean at Beers with Demo:

"We'd like to take a moment to remind Emily's MGs who it is that is leading the pack among Republicans who like to blaze. In case they hadn't noticed, this particular Alaskan has got a pretty well-defined libertarian stripe running down her back and murky allegorical charges won't stand up to scrutiny. What Sarah and the MGs know and what the rest of the nation is coming around to is that being family values-oriented and not being a social-conservative fire-brand does not an oxymoronic state of being make."

Marjorie Dannenfelser of Susan B. Anthony List:

"EMILY’s List is running scared — and it shows."

Conservative Pup:

"I have continued to notice that some of the most horrific crimes and abuse of women all over the world get not a word from NOW. They can’t be bothered to take a stand, unless it involves abortion in some way. Until now. Now they’ve taken a stand against a new foe. Women. To be specific, women who don’t think like they do. To be even more specific, Sarah Palin. And all those other women who are running for office whom Gov. Palin has endorsed. They would rather spend their money and time opposing women who hold a different point of view, than supporting like-minded women like themselves who are running for office."

Matthew Balan at NewsBusters:

"CNN's Jessica Yellin, a one-time 'prominent feminist activist,' helped forward the talking points of the pro-abortion lobby by devoting part of a segment on Tuesday's Rick's List to EMILY List's new anti-Sarah Palin ad."

Bluegrass Pundit:

"I am not sure [the] video ad, attacking Sarah Palin, by the pro-choice EMILY's List PAC has the desired impact. The women in the ad look ridiculous in their bear costumes and makeup. I almost fell out of my chair laughing when they started growling."
