Suzanne Nossel, chief of operations for Human Rights Watch, added a novel take: “I think it is and can be spun as a profoundly sexist pick. Women should feel umbrage at the idea that their votes can be attracted just by putting a woman, any woman, on the ticket no matter her qualifications or views.”
Mother Jones’s Stein loved the idea. “That’s excellent! If enough people – people on this list? – write that the pick is sexist, you’ll have the networks debating it for days. And that negates the SINGLE thing Palin brings to the ticket,” he wrote. . . .This article also pointed out how journalists all went after CNBC people at the same time as well. I remember Jim Cramer and Rick Santelli were blasted in the press seeming out of the clear blue sky. Suddenly they were causing the financial crisis etc. I also remember that Jon Stewart went after Cramer with special gusto as well. I am wondering if he or one of his minions was on this list as well?
