Video: “No Fool Like An Old Fool… Time for Him to Retire!”
Not sure if you saw the clip, but Senator Arlen Specter told Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann to "act like a lady." He did so not just once but multiple times, and he did so on air.
His comments were sexist, disrespectful and condescending toward her and all women.
We cannot depend on the "women's groups" to step forward and object to his treatment of Bachmann, despite the fact that the odds of him ever speaking to a male colleague that way are slim to none.
Why?
Michelle Bachmann is a conservative woman and she's been active at 912 and similar gatherings.
Conservative women, as we well know, are the target of horrific attacks. The women's groups remain silent, leaving one able to conclude only that they support not women but only women who think like them.
I say it's time we stand up for those standing up for us. Bachmann has stood up repeatedly. It's cost her dearly, but she's done it because she believes. Now we need to stand up for her.
Write, call or email Senator Arlen Specter. He owes her an apology. Let's remind him that we don't tolerate sexism. Contact him here: http://www.google.com/url?q=http://specter.senate.gov/public/index....
If you're on twitter, his address is: @senarlenspecter
It really is time for him to retire!!
