Laura Bush warns Dems

Politico's Jonathan Martin had an article about Laura Bush warning Dems from attacking Sarah Palin.

"Questioned about whether Palin may face sexism from the media in the way Hillary Rodham Clinton supporters claim she did, Bush said: "I think that's a possibility."

I do agree with Laura Bush that this is something Democrats have to watch. I don't agree with attacks because of her gender, but I just hope critism about her lack of experience isn't viewed as a attack because she's a woman. The same would apply for Obama's race. The V.P. debate should be interesting with Joe Biden, who has been known to insert his foot in his mouth. However, Laura Bush's comments bring up some interesting points.

Though attacks against Palin will be viewed as "bullying", I don't think its fair that you have to handle female candidates with kid gloves. A candidates gender, or race, should bring no more attacks or criticism because of it. Everything is fair game in my opinion.

Secondly, when have the Republicans NOT attacked Hillary Clinton?? Go back to when she was the First Lady and how even today they are commentators on the right who suggest that Hillary was involved in the suicide of her good friend Vince Foster. Hillary Clinton is the poster child of the attacks on the right. Look at Palin's first public appearance on the road in the campaign. She said the following to the crowd. Palin praised Hillary for "determination and grace during her presidential run". The crowd responded with boos.

Let's call it both ways.
