Colby King Calls Michele Bachmann 'Barbie With Fangs'
Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post columnist Colby King on Friday disgracefully called Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann "Barbie with fangs."
His fellow "Inside Washington" panelist Charles Krauthammer - obviously annoyed by this sexist display - replied, "It’s good to see how civil and non-ad hominem we are here in the Huntsman spirit" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
COLBY KING, WASHINGTON POST: Well, what he’s, [Jon Huntsman] can’t out anti-Obama with the other Republican field. They have that. He’s got Gingrich there, he’s got Michele Bachmann, they’re going to do the number on Obama. So he has to distinguish himself.
But, when you get right down to it, he, and, and, and, and Mitt Romney are the, are the two Ken dolls in the, in the, in the Republican race. You got Michele Bachmann who is Barbie with fangs.
[Laughter]
I mean, it’s, the, the, the field itself is just sort of a, like a caricature. There’s no substance.
CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: It’s good to see how civil and non-ad hominem we are here in the Huntsman spirit as I understand it.
KING: I love them all.
How thoroughly disgraceful.
King should be ashamed of himself and be asked to immediately apologize for making such a statement about a sitting member of Congress.
When is this sexist bashing of conservative female political officials by America's press going to stop?

It is obvious that the media not only dispise conservative women but they cannot tolerate strong and independent women. These attacks continue to prove how "intolerant" the lying hypocrits really are. They cheerlead for the first black President but refuse to even consider the possibility of the first Woman President.
For all you misogynists out there, here is my take on your bigotry. Why shouldnt we elect a woman as president? It takes a woman to clean up after a man has made a big mess!

They only hate conservative women. As far as they're concerned, powerful liberal women are just wonderful. Look at how they gushed over Pelosi when she became speaker....the woman of steel in Armani suits....now there's a woman with fangs, if you ask me. But they thought that was fine for her!

I was being sarcastic using their logic to make my point. Yes, Pelosi's line. Next time I'll remember the /sarc But I also remember how quickly the liberal media dumped Hillary to support Obama. If a gay progressive GW believer were to run, I think the media would dump Obama in a blink of an eye.
Thanks for clarifying, cajun!

I'm sure Tim Pawlenty and Herman Cain are upset that they aren't viewed as "Ken dolls". But I thought that the media asserted that Huntsman and Romney were the grown ups and the serious candidates? So the leftists view the alleged "serious" candidates as unserious "Ken dolls"? And the "serious" democrat candidate for Pres, Obama, proposed a budget that didn't get a single vote in the Senate. That's rich.

OK, here's Herman Cain.
Liberals: NO! Not THAT black president! He's a racist! Give us a WOMAN President!
OK, here's Michelle Bachmann or Sarah Palin.
Liberals: NO! Not women enough! Not the right KIND of woman! We want a minority President!
OK, here's Marco Rubio.
Liberals: NO! He's racist! And not the right KIND of minority!

Where the NAACP is when Herman Cain is attacked as someone who doesn't like to read. These groups no longer represent the "minorities" they were designed to help. They are elements of the Democrat party nowadays. Even if said party no represents re-enslavement and the murder of unborn children.

He does bring up a good comment. Hunstman can't out anit-Obama the others. He can't go after Obama because they are like white on rice.

Now that is a question I would pose to him when he made this stupid comment. I have said it before, with Liberals you have to challenge their opinion. Once you do, you realize that their ideology has no merit or foundation. They behave like children who when they don't get their way, they resort to name calling and profanity...WOW! I thought Prize Pulitzer recipients were classier, better educated than this.

I don't like Obama's Keynesian policies.
You're racist for saying he was born in Kenya!
No, I mean he's a socialist, and maybe even a communist.
Calling him a socialist is code for the n-word.
I'm talking about his financial philosophies. He's a millionaire who lives on arugula salad, but he tells everyone else to clip coupons while he bankrupts their electricity sources.
Oh, a black man can't be rich? It's racist to call him uppity.
Well, he is kind of hoity-toity. He went to Harvard. He was a law professor. I thought liberals were tired of millionaire eggheads controlling Washington when they don't have anything in common with the little people.
It's racist to call him a law professor.
Are you kidding me?
Look, I know that Barbie doll Michele Bachmann feeds you these lies, and that house n---- Juan Williams lets her get by with it on Fox, and that Caribou Barbie Sarah Palin tells you what to think, and that creepy Mormon Glenn Beck reinforces it, and that coconut Marco Rubio helps them in the Senate, and old Aunt Jemima helped George Bush invade Iraq...... but you know very well you're a racist.

When you have neither facts nor logic to buttress your opinion, just call people names. The way of the Democrat. An approach recognized as invalid by thinking people since the time of Aristotle. But Democrats long ago gave up trying to influence thinking people.
