Long time readers know that I do not often use words like the title of this post often. Today calls for it, I think. David Axelrod, adviser to Barack Obama, architect of Obama’s victory, today crossed a line. From Real Clear Politics:
Senior Advisor to the president and former campaign consultant David Axelrod was the special guest on National Public Radio’s “Wait, Wait…Don’t Tell Me!” which made a road trip to George Washington University in the nation’s capital for an episode that will air this weekend.
When Axelrod was asked if he had weighed in on the Obama family’s dog choice, he answered, “I was only called in for the final three, and one was Miss California.”
(Found via this link from The Hill’s Blog Briefing Room.)
My wife, who does not do politics at all, happened to walk into my office when the audio clip from Axelrod was playing and said, “That is politically incorrect.” Then she went on to point out that a lot of the Obama administration – including Obama – make comments like this all too often.
I have not posted about the uproar over Carrie Prejean’s honest answer to a politically charged question asked by an open advocate of gay rights. Nor of that activist’s unhinged, vitriolic attack on Prejean the next day. Nor of the deranged attacks from the left over Prejean’s position on gay marriage which is essentially identical to the one Obama articulated while campaigning.
I am going to point out the obvious here. Carrie Prejean is a 21-year old model/beauty pageant contestant. David Axelrod is a 54-year old college graduate with a successful political consultancy business and an is adviser to the President of the United States.
That is the very definition of a bully. A mature man verbally beating up on a college age young woman.
And he is attacking Prejean for a laugh? With a very, very thinly veiled misogynistic slur that mirrors the viciousness of the gay activist?
Axelrod has a 28-year old daughter, according to Wikipedia. How would he feel if someone attacked his daughter for saying the same thing his boss said in public? And hinted at that five letter word?
This is the wit of the Obama administration?
Axelrod is the title of this post.
Given that the dems think so highly of women that they sold them a bill of goods regarding “free” sex (makes them equal to men)carving up their bodies in abortions, destroying their children, I am not surpised that they demean women (yes, it means all of us)in this fashion.
The amount of this that the Obamessiah has been forgiven is huge. He has a habit of making disparaging comments about anyone and anyone who he feels has crossed him in any way. Remember his “She talks like she’s Annie Oakley” comment when the Hildebeast mentioned being taught to shoot by her father when she was young? That;s just the tip of the iceberg. My wife pointed out to me during the campaign just how nasty many of his comments were. She has nothing but contempt for him because of his superior attitude and disdain for others.
