An A-list of women in politics went on the offensive Wednesday [09-03-08], accusing the media and the Obama campaign of blatant sexism in their treatment of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.
McCain's running mate, who greeted the Arizona senator as he arrived in St. Paul, is scheduled to headline the convention Wednesday night.
Five Conservative women censured the media Wednesday at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, saying they were outraged and insulted by Palin's treatment and comparing it to the way Hillary Clinton was treated during the Democratic primary.
"The Republican Party will not stand by while Sarah Palin is subjected to sexist attacks," said top McCain adviser Carly Fiorina, defending Palin as qualified and declaring women would not "stand for it" when she is subjected to such attacks. "As women, I think all of us are sensitized and outraged when we see sexist treatment."
Former U.S. Treasurer Rosario Marin said she was "incensed" by the coverage of Palin.
"Governor Palin has a record of achievement," said former Massachusetts Gov. Jane Swift. "She is more prepared than Barack Obama to be president of the United States."
The speakers made reference to several reports in recent days, including the cover of US Weekly that shows a picture of Palin and her baby with the words "babies, lies and scandal."
