Kate Phillips of the NY Times writes about the controversy. She ends with the suggestion that it’s somehow unseemly to point out that there are those on the rabid Left who are character assassins.
Last night and this morning, the McCain campaign complained that the Obama campaign was engaging in sexist portrayals of Governor Palin. But what does an ad, featuring wolves attacking or going after Ms. Palin suggest? That she is a victim? In this post-feminist world, would Governor Palin — who has held herself up as a pit bull/reformer while wearing lipstick — want to be portrayed that way?
Up yours Kate. George Bush can thank his dismal approval ratings to failing to fight back against years of relentless smears of his character. Palin and the McCain campaign will not make that mistake; no matter how much the NY Slimes wishes it were not so.
