Wow! Teresa really has the right-wing in a tizzy!

[redqueen]

An intelligent, inspiring, strong woman... I'm sure she gives them a bad case of the willies!

[LeinesRed]

1. the Teresa "talking points"

are out with characteristic venom

[heidiho]

2. Repubs Don't Like Strong Women

they prefer Stepford wife arm candy like Laura.

They are afraid, very afraid, of women with "opinions". Women should be in the kitchen fixin' supper not on the convention floor.

[central scrutinizer]

32. vocal men are "strong", vocal women are "shrill"

nfm

[billybob537]

3. They are soooo desperate.

This team has all the allure of the Camelot Kennedy's.

[bo44]

4. Let the whores focus on the wives race

If Kerry stays on message and the BFEE continues with its negative bullshit the brain deads in the middle will notice and reject *.

[donco6]

5. No surprise

I thought she stuck it right to them with her comments about women being able to think and have opinions (even though it gets them labeled "opinionated" instead of "informed")

As a man I find that attitude among RWers particularly disgusting.

[obnoxiousdrunk]

6. Love this

woman. She once said that Rick Santorum was Forest Gump with an attitude....LOL

[in_cog_ni_to]

22. Forest Gump with an attitude!!!!

OMG! That is so GREAT! You go girl!!!

[devinsgram]

27. That is going to be my new motto.

Rick Santorum - Forest Gump with an attitude!LOL LOL LOL LOL:toast: :bounce: :kick:

[GreenPartyVoter]

7. I think she is so cool! :^D

[Union Thug]

8. A debate between Teresa and Laura!

Now that would just rule! bwahahahaha... But what would they debate about? Maybe they could contrast their credentials... Ooooh I'd love to see that.

[name not needed]

11. Teresa would talk about something important

while Pickles would go on an on about her efforts to teach children how to read, even though her husband can't make it halfway through On Beyond Zebra without getting a migrane.

[Justice]

9. She Looked Beautiful Last Night

That is a beautiful picture

[redqueen]

12. I thought so too!

I mean... it's enough that she's brilliant and not afraid to speak her mind... but she's the whole package! All that and beauty too... perhaps hers comes not only from the bones God gave her but also from inside... from her realization of her connection to others, and willingness to use her good fortune to help others.

I love her!

[madrchsod]

10. when she tells someone

to "shove it up their ass" you know she means it and that is what scares them.....

[gauguin57]

13. Last night the Freepers were trashing little Ilana Wexler

-- the little girl who was the Kids for Kerry spokesperson on the convention last night.

They called her ugly, and insinuated Clinton was probably dating her.

Freepers start with the misogyny EARLY, huh?

[Union Thug]

16. hence the term "FreeTards"

Although, it really is an insult to the developmentally disabled. I worked with DD teens for five years and can honstely say that I would never, seriously compare a freeper to them. First of all, the DD kids with whom I worked were good hearted and kind. Secondly, the collective intellect of all the freepers on the planet don't add up to that of the lowest functioning downie.

[realFedUp]

14. They know how effective she is

and that she turned them down to run for
her late husband's office when they asked
her (she was a registered Republican)

That should be any Dem talking point.

[redqueen]

20. Yes - Repubs wanted her to run for Senate

They must think she's great too!

[proud patriot]

15. My husband absolutely fell in love with her last night

He's got great taste and is turned on by
Smart , Well educated Women :D

[johnfunk]

17. Joe Conason has this nailed...

... right here. Richard Scaife, the drunken Yale washout turned rich conspiracy nut, is once again the nexus for lies and hatred, this time directed against a Vietnam war hero and his savvy, accomplished wfie.

To amplify one of Joe's points, here's how it works:

Introverted political wife --
Republican: "perfectly poised"
Democrat: "overly scripted"


Extroverted political wife --
Republican: "refreshingly candid"
Democrat: "out of control"


Now see how easy that is, kids?

POSTSCRIPT: More Conason --

"Who's in charge of keeping her on message?" demanded David Broder of The Washington Post.

The real question is, "Who's in charge of keeping David Broder on message?"

ON EDIT: fix punctuation and line break.

[redqueen]

18. Thanks for the link! n/t

[bloom]

21. "Who's in charge of keeping David Broder on message?"

I like that.

[Tellurian]

31. Amazing, Funky..

Just as I was scrolling southbound, the exact same thought occurred to me, after reading about the little 13 yr old. Any affirmation written or spoken (about anyone) appears to have an auto-generated response.

I think right wingers have a software program most likely called, what else,..."hardware." They type a sentence into a search engine, any word sensitive adjectives are automatically thesaurused into the most vile, disgusting antonyms..

typo..

[Arbustosux]

19. She looks like an older Sandra Bullock

I really like a woman that speaks her mind!!

[Gin]

23. we can use that phrase on all journalists...just change the name...message

stays the same...perfect!

"Who's in charge of keeping David Broder on message?"

[GreenPartyVoter]

25. I thought the same thing. Sandra can play her in a movie

[in_cog_ni_to]

24. I say...

Let Teresa loose on these bastards! Let her at 'em. She'll set 'em straight! Go Teresa! Anyone who pisses off a repug...is OK in MY book. :bounce:

[drdigi420]

26. Theyre scared

They are scared of strong women, successful blacks, drug users that don't steal, gay people that don't hide, anyone with an original thought, and anyone that has the brains to question what they are told by the powers that be.

Right wingers are right wingers because they are scared. It's all about fear for them. Fear that they can't compete with immigrants for jobs, fear that they can't compete with blacks for 'cool', fear they can't compete with gays for compassion, fear that their own failings will be uncovered if they pause, even for a moment, from pointing fingers and blaming others for their own incompetency.

Fear sells, and the republicans are buying.

[redqueen]

28. "Right wingers are right wingers because they are scared."

You hit the nail on the head with that one, friend!

How many times have I been told, 'but those minorities will take over and treat us unfairly!' or some other such BS.

Sad.

[proud patriot]

30. Indeed I agree

and will use it , the next time I'm confronted by a RW
bozo .

[mark11727]

29. Nicely said.... and painfully true.

[LuminousX]

33. I liked how she banged her hand on the podium

You KNOW that in a board room meeting she must be very assertive. She takes to leadership like a fish to water.
