Katie Pavlich - Assault and Flattery: The Truth About the Left and Their War on Women

DUE TO THE VULGARITY OF MANY DEMOCRATIC LEADERS AS WELL AS THE SO-CALLED WOMENS RIGHTS GROUPS THAT DEFEND THEM, THIS BOOK CONTAINS LANGUAGE SUITABLE FOR MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY. OR AT LEAST THOSE WITH STRONG STOMACHS.

I always cheer up immensely if an attack is particularly wounding because I think, well, if they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left.

Women of America, you are being lied to. Manipulated. Used. By the mainstream media and the Democratic Partyas if theres a differenceboth of which tell you they have your best interests at heart. They dont. The reason I know this is that Ive seen firsthand how they treat women who dont toe their line. Theres no sign of chivalry or even basic respect for women then.

Many of you have even been persuaded that there is a war on women being waged by the other political party. In fact, the real story is very different. The Democratic Party has been at war against women for decades. Those they havent lied to and brought onto their side have been victimized, demonized, and ridiculedespecially if they dare to speak out with a different point of view.

Dont get me wrongDemocrats and liberals are pretty good at treating the majority of women like dirt. But they are especially repulsive when it comes to uppity conservative women. To them conservative is just as vile a c-word as the other four letter c-word they often use to describe us. Their tactics go beyond disagreement on policy positions and into brutal, misogynistic attacks on women and their families.

When Rush Limbaugh called thirty-year-old Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke a slut after she testified before Congress and begged for taxpayers to foot the bill for her birth control, the left had a field day. Liberals like MSNBCs Krystal Ball organized a boycott of Limbaughs sponsors, and he was held accountable for months even after apologizing.

When liberals use vile language against conservative women, these same people are hard to find. A deafening silence falls over politicians, Hollywood celebrities, feminist groupsand the mainstream media that apologize for them all. They get away with a sickening double standard that makes being a conservative woman in the public eye a punching bag for liberals whose delicate sensibilities go out the door at the mention of any Republican female officeholder.

Consider the case of MSNBCs Martin Bashir, who in 2013 said someone should punish Sarah Palin by, in effect, defecating in her mouth. Bashirs words came after Palin made a comparison between the national debt and slavery. For the record, Occupy Wall Street protesters made a similar comparison between debt and slavery. Even Bashir himself made a slavery comparison in 2011, during another ad hominem tirade against Representative Michele Bachmann when she made a pledge to support traditional marriage. He wondered aloud, Did Republican hopefuls really sign a pledge suggesting a return to the days of slavery?

Outraged at Palin for comparing anything to slavery, Bashir took to his lonely 4:00 p.m. time slot to air his English-accented anger. And we end this week the way it began, with Americas resident dunce Sarah Palin, scraping the barrel of her long-deceased mind and using her all-time favorite analogy in an attempt to sound intelligent about the national debt, Bashir said, playing a clip from Palins speech. Given her well-established reputation as a world-class idiot, its hardly surprising that she should choose to mention slavery in a way that is abominable to anyone who knows anything about its barbaric history.

Bashir then told a story about a brutal slave owner and diarist, Thomas Thistlewood. In 1756, he records that a slave named Darby catched eating kanes had him well flogged and pickled, then made Hector, another slave, s-h-*-t in his mouth, Bashir said. In 1756, this time in relation to a man he refers to as Punch: Flogged Punch well, and then washed and rubbed salt pickle, lime juice and bird pepper, made Negro Joe piss in his eyes and mouth. I could go on but you get the point. When Mrs. Palin invokes slavery, she doesnt just prove her rank ignorance. She confirms if anyone truly qualified for a dose of discipline from Thomas Thistlewood, she would be the outstanding candidate.

Bashirs comments were well-planned, typed into a teleprompter, and approved by an entire production team before being broadcast to his millions of few viewers. But the women of MSNBC, including feminist heroine Rachel Maddow, never uttered a word of criticism. Neither did the National Organization for Women, the Feminist Majority Foundation, or a host of other organizations claiming to fight for the rights of women everywhere.

Of course, the hits against Palina popular former governor and three-time New York Times bestselling authordidnt start or end with Bashir. As soon as she stepped onto the national stage as John McCains vice presidential nominee, nothing about heror her familywas off-limits to ridicule and personal attacks.

In May 2011, liberal pervert and pornographer Larry Flynt told Londons The Independent, Sarah Palin is the dumbest thing. But I made a fortune off of her. Flynt was referring to a porn film called Nailin Palin , based on the Alaska governor. A lifelong exploiter of women, Flynt has made a fortune off of films showing the women he calls bitches being gang raped, molested, and murdered in concentration camps.

Flynts insult and crude film were bad enough, but they were nothing compared to what he said next. She did a disservice to every woman in America, he said, referring to Palins newborn baby Trig, who is living with Down syndrome. She knew from the first month of pregnancy that kid was going to be Downs Syndrome. Its brain dead. A virtual vegetable. She carries it to all these different political events against abortion, she did it just because she didnt want to say shed had an abortion. How long is it going to live? Another twelve, fifteen years? Doesnt even know its in this world. So what kind of compassionate conservative is she?
