TOBY HARNDEN: Hilary Rosen debacle is payback for Democrats over their Rush Limbaugh attacks and ‘war on women’ meme.
UPDATE: Doubling down on stupid: NOW president: Ann Romney lacks “life experience” and “imagination” to relate to most Americans. “Stick around to the end to see Rep. Maxine Waters keep it classy by calling the presumptive Republican nominee ‘Mitt Rot-ney,’ but O’Neill is the real show here. Once again, we get to see the professional Left’s utter disdain for women who chose to stay home with their children rather than work in the workplace.”
Related: “Class warfare” and “the war on women” — 2 wars or 2 fronts in the same war? Key bit: “During the weakest post-recession recovery in history, there’s very little material to accentuate the positive with, so the Democrats are trying to make up for it by dividing the American public with class warfare and trying to convince women they need dependency on government for protection.”
Plus: “In this left-wing framework in which the vast majority of women need the government structure around them, women are not supposed to identify with Ann Romney . The left would like to alienate her from you by portraying the economically supportive husband as something only available to the rich. President Obama would like you to think that even he, as a Harvard Law School graduate, could not keep a wife at home with their 2 children. It’s an economic solution that works for so few people that it’s no choice at all.”
The only problem with this is that it’s a lie: Stay At Home Motherhood Isn’t A Luxury, Census Data Shows. “The data, though, don’t support the impression that staying at home is a luxury. A detailed 2010 study by two Census Bureau sociologist, in fact, found the opposite: While stay-at-home motherhood has become less common over time, the women who stay at home are increasingly those whose low education means they can’t earn enough money to make working outside the home worthwhile.”
And in Obama’s job-killing economy — in which over 92% of the job losses were by women — that’s increasingly true.
So there’s your headline: Dems Attack Stay-At-Home Moms Who Are Refugees From the Obama Economy.
So Obama’s attacking refugees. Women refugees. But then, what can you expect from a sexist Administration that pays women staffers less and encourages groping in an atmosphere of frat-boy entitlement?
