Something funny in OHLGM land. Taylor Marsh put up this entry (give ‘em just enough to keep ‘em coming back, eh, Taylor?). It’s an entry regarding Obama questioning why McCain is attacking his wife and it says in part:
But where was Obama when Hillary was getting maligned in the press? He was nowhere to be found.
This situational anti sexism doesn’t impress me much from Senator Obama. All it does is remind me of his silence throughout the entire primary season, incluinding when his national co-chair Jesse Jackson Jr. questioned whether Hillary cried after Katrina.
So excuse me if I’m not too moved about Obama hitting McCain for not sticking up for his wife, especially since he couldn’t do the same for Hillary. To combat this type of sexism you can’t just care when it happens to you or your family. It’s got to matter no matter the woman being slimed. Obama is now learning it doesn’t feel too good, just like Bill Clinton learned on the campaign trail. No one cared when WJC complained about this stuff; instead they attacked him mercilessly for simply sticking up for his wife. Because after all, we are talking about the Clintons.
Too bad Obama didn’t have the spine to stick up for Hillary, too. Then I’d be all in on this latest from our nominee. But since he couldn’t be bothered neither can I.
Emphasis added, of course.
Now, Taylor keeps telling folks that she’s trying to help the Democrats get into office and she’ll work against McCain to see that happen…blah blah blah. But every so often she throws her rabid fans a bone- just like this one. Where was Obama when the slime machine was working against Hillary? Probably the same place Hillary was when she was going after his lack of a flag pin or his religion or talking about why “white Americans” come out for her (hard working, white Americans, of course) or his oh so obvious* “elitism” (pot meet kettle) or her pandering to hunters with their guns (yeah).
When some brave soul asked Taylor in her comments why Clinton didn’t come out against the obvious racism directed at the Obama family this is what Taylor had to say:
When Michelle Obama gets into political topics and starts hitting Rep. she’s opening herself up to criticism. That’s *always* been the case with political spouses. Mrs. Obama is very political when she stumps for her husband. That puts her in play whether we like it or not, just as it did for Theresa Heinz Kerry or Elizabeth Edwards.
Where was Obama when Clinton got attacked for allegedly being racist? He didn’t do anything there either, in fact, Obama’s team started it with D-Punjab. What about Obama’s South Carolina memo?
Betsy, if you think I’m going to give Obama a pass on this stuff you’re mistaken. I don’t work like that. I’m behind beating McCain 100%, but I’m not going to ignore this type of hypocrisy.
By the way, I call *both* sides on this stuff when it’s appropriate. That’s my job.

Taylor, you suck at your job. Just sayin’
So, when I originally landed on Taylor’s home page the image in the post was a huge button that says “#1 Hypocrite”. Then I went into the permalink page and guess what? The image was different! What? You don’t believe me? Well, shucks.
Here’s the proof.

Take a gander at where the arrows are (yes, I added them.). You’ll see the date and time of the article at the top. And the beginning of the post at the bottom. The arrows are pointing to the identical spot that they are in this image:

Why did you feel the need to change the images, Taylor? I’m just curious. Afraid that the original one would be construed by some on the Left as a little too, um, venomous? Afraid that radio show won’t materialize if you keep feeding the rabid Idiots the fare they crave to keep on hating Obama?
Give ‘em just a little nibble here and there and they’ll keep coming back. Just hoping that Taylor is coming out of her suddenly insanity in backing a Democrat. They keep praying that you’ll rejoin them, Taylor, and you give them just enough to keep coming back in hopes that you have.
Here’s a clue, though, for the Idiots en masse. Obama will defend his wife because he adores her. Clinton went dirty in her campaign against him, she was his opponent and she’s not his wife. Hypocrite? No. You’re the hypocrite for expecting this man to come out swinging for the woman who made it her mission to assassinate his character. He wasn’t responsible for what the idiots in the media did. She was responsible for what she did.
I don’t expect Taylor to care about that though. After all, she’s just trying to keep her pageviews up. No doubt she’ll be reeling in the big dollar advertisers soon. Maybe even get her own show like that traitorous Rachel Maddow. I mean, she’s not nearly as venomous as Taylor and she gets her own show. What is the world coming to?
I am curious though, Taylor, if the Obama people have reached out to you yet? Still holding out hope that they’ll see you as important enough? Could that be why you changed those pictures? Well, good luck with that.
* That’s snark for the Idiots.
