Sen. Barack Obama ditched his normal languid cool today, punching back at Gov. Sarah Palin as he spoke with reporters in York, Pa, hotly defending his work as a community organizer. He said he assumes Palin "wants to be treated same way guys want to be treated, which means their records are under scrutinty.[ed. my emphasis]
How is that not sexist? How could that possibly not be sexist? He was either assuming that Palin would be some sort of docile, submissive female or...hell, this isn't an "either/or" situation. He is genuinely shocked that a woman would come after him so hard and, right now, he has no adequate response.
But don't worry they will have a response. Its only a matter of time before they revert to their primary style and call Palin a racist.
UPDATE:
Shit that didn't take long!
The four mocking mentions last night of Barack Obama’s service as a “community organizer” have ignited a metapshereic debate about whether the term has racial connotations.
Gee, is it allowable to say we thought Obama wanted to be treated like any other candidate....
