Regardless of our political differences I had thought better of you.

The following are not my words but on the money and said better than I can say it.

Disgusting, Misogynist Attack on Michelle Bachmann in Iowa
The new civility tone of the liberal media types is reaching new heights every day. They just can not help themselves. As much as they are an alleged proponent for women's rights, minority rights, etc. etc., it is these very same people that attack conservative black people and women for being black or women. This truly is the most disgusting thing so far.

Some liberal jack wagon was following Michelle Bachmann around at the Iowa State Fair and thought it would be really funny to catch her eating a hot dog on a stick with all the implied sexual innuendo that would accompany an image of a woman eating a hot dog, on a stick.

Sure her handlers probably should of advised against such food choices, given that the trolls were all out, but the fact that things like eating a hot dog for a woman, would even have to be considered, is just gross.

and this one

Then there’s the sexist subtext here: would the Telegraph have run a similar photo of a presidential candidate consuming an obvious phallic symbol if said candidate were male? Phallic symbols make for good comedy, sure, but the Telegraph is not Mad Magazine, and there appears to be no intent at humor here, only degradation. The image sends a clear message to any woman thinking about pursuing such high public office: we at the Telegraph are unable to look at you as anything but a sex object, no matter what your qualifications for office. That’s not to say the decision to public such a photo is always innately sexist– some outlets clearly would have run the photo no matter who was in it, particularly on the internet (looking at you, Wonkette). Whether a print publication– a British one with no theoretical reason to work for or against any American candidate– would have is an entirely different question, one that we can expect to get addressed often among conservative commentators in the near future
