I appreciate the support.

I’m so glad that you liked it. And thank you for suggesting that I put this comment in a diary in the first place.

I’m glad that you liked it.

If she wanted to shill for Obama, then she should have resigned her post as head of the IWF. It was unfair to those women to have her endorsing an extremely liberal candidate, while she remained the head of their organization and, therefore, was speaking for them.

First of all, I never said that she was an “Alinsky wannabe”, a “leftist plant”, or a “Marxist”–please do not put words in my mouth–which by the way, is what people tend to do when they are losing an argument.

Second of all, she didn’t just “say a few nice things about Obama”–please do not come on my diary and tell obvious lies. She was a constant guest on every evening show on MSNBC throughout the Democratic primary, as well as the general election–and she perpetually trashed Clinton in the primary and gushed all over Obama. Not to mention, in the general election, she not only continued to gush even more flagrantly over Obama, but she also basically said NOTHING good about John McCain, and even managed to trash Cindy McCain (as the last video in my diary demonstrates). This would be the very definition of the word “shill” (see below).

Third of all, as Civil Truth just pointed out, if she wanted to shill for Obama, then that is fine, but she should have resigned from her post as head of the IWF–that would have been the ethical thing to do. Oh, and she should have known better than to come on Redstate and not expect someone to point out her hypocrisy.

And finally, the “evidence” that you provide of Ms. Bernard’s views only serves to condemn her even more. If she’s pro-oil drilling, anti-government involvement in health care, anti-card check, and pro-voucher, then what the hell was she doing shilling, yes SHILLING, for Obama every night on MSNBC? Has she no real principles? Will she throw her principles out the window for “Yes we can!”? Does she not realize that elections have consequences? Ms. Bernard should have been prepared to answer all of these questions if she was going to come here and lecture us about school choice.

And finally, I think that it ‘s real sweet that you want to come on my diary and take up for your friend, but your arguments are an EPIC FAIL–so kindly get lost and let the grown ups discuss politics.

with your unwarranted attack on Susannah. Correct me if I’m wrong, Susannah, but I don’t think she wrote this diary to try and impress the likes of you. With few exceptions, every single comment you make at RedState consists of you looking down your “moderate” nose at us filthy conservatives and finding us lacking. So take your elite self back to your lonely website and you won’t have to waste your time trying to teach us some manners.

Susannah is what’s “right” with the conservative movement. You? Not so much.

1yr 1month, 11 diaries, 14 recommends…total.

EPIC FAIL

Some people can’t get that through their heads, can they?

She endorsed Obama over John McCain and now she wants to resurrect conservative bona fides because she got what she asked for and didn’t like it? Anybody who is that poor a judge of character doesn’t deserve being listened to even if what they’re saying makes a little sense to some. Nor did she offer up any kind of apology for being an Obama dupe.

I suppose that means we should listen to Colin Powell, too? How about Christopher Buckley? Any body else you care to name while we’re at it?

But then, neither has McCain apologized. He endorsed Obama himself during his own campaign for presidency. I could overlook a lot of things McCain has done and will do but not that. How do you win an election endorsing your opposition?

I think you owe Susannah an apology.

a few kind words is ok but going on and on about Obama is too much. She’s comes off like a lot of the quasi-conservative do, say that they are conservative and yet are over joyed by people like Obama(I sort of liked him as a Senator due his being a principled Lib). When you return again, please apologize.

You do know your defense of the slavish bernard won’t get you to far on this site. It is MORE then her mouthing platitudes to The Won it is her despicable habit of throwing Republican’s under the bus to do so. OBTW Sen Coburn is nice because it is part of being a Senator he has to do it, he doesn’t want to. You have had such an illustrious career here as I am sure you have had at your own site…what is that site I don’t know because I don’t troll over to places where the guy is the President and shilling on another site….it says my site SUCKS and I am trying to build readership.

Susannah is one of the TOP 10 diarist’s on Redstate and when she writes people flock to her diaries….you NOPE. So for me personally I will take what she has to say more seriously then anything you have to write. OBTW don’t EVER tell ANYONE here what or how to write when it is obvious you don’t have the stature to do so!

I had pretty much made up my mind about you after your outrageous comment here.
Thanks for confirming my opinion. Janis said above that “With few exceptions, every single comment you make at RedState consists of you looking down your “moderate” nose at us filthy conservatives and finding us lacking.” I have to agree with my TN neighbor, and the comment I linked to is probably a better example of that than this one of yours is. Bernard wouldn’t be the first to betray her so-called conservative credentials, but she is one of the latest.

As to her bio and the conservative ideals you mentioned that Bernard supposedly believes in…

Well, she wouldn’t be the first to put a mask on.

I believe that all Susannah tried to do was point out that this individual did everything in her power to shill for the biggest leftest douche that we ever elected president, and now wants to come to this blog, to do a bitch and complain about education choice.

Either she knew that Obama was the exact opposite of education choice, which makes her part of the problem, or she did not know about how a leftest that is bought and paid for by the teachers unions thinks, which makes her stupid.

Your choice.

Especially when the other side has thrown away their allegiance to the rules, and their fans are entering the field and throwing punches (or worse). And worse, when some of the more prominent among your supposed fans are joining the other side in the riot.

At this point, you need to leave your exalted post and do whatever it takes to prevail against the malefactors. Which means recognizing what is happening down on the field, identifying who’s left your stands, and getting your hands dirty,

Obama is a Radical Leftist threat to our system of government.

All those who voted for him are going to face a day of reckoning.

“This is probably the newest addition we will be urged to make to the already too big tent that is the Republican Party. Obviously we “need” more people who disagree with BO but can still get a good thrill up their leg when he lies to them.”—Hilarious. Lol.

with conservatives? Are they becoming a textbook example of the adage that “Conservative organizations all turn liberal over time if you don’t watch them like a hawk”? Is the IWF just becoming NOW-lite?

I’m glad that you guys liked the video.

Oh, and Jaded, I agree with you that Ms. Bernard should step down as head of the IWF if they expect anyone to take them seriously.

Susannah, your tireless efforts to nail down every piece of evidence on a topic you write about are much appreciated. If you are as good a doctor as you are a researcher, I want you to be my PCM.

I think I’ll send Michele a widget so she can scrape the Obama sticker off her bumper.

Thanks for all of your research.

…And, I wouldn’t have any problem with Ms. Bernard if she came here and wrote a disclaimer in her diary that she voted for or supported Obama, but is now seeing the error of her ways (particularly with regard to school choice) and would like to make amends. Hey, I think that most people would welcome home a prodigal son or daughter. However, what I can’t stomach is her trying to enlighten us on school choice, but at the same time, attempting to play us for suckers by refusing to admit to supporting the very candidate who put the kibosh on school choice in the first place–and thinking that we are too dim-witted to find this info out.

Furthermore, I agree with Jaded and Civil Truth that, as long as she continues to shill for Obama and the Democrats and talk out of both sides of her mouth (she was just on Hardball last night criticizing Bob McDonnell), that she should step down as head of the IWF. It’s not fair to their members. Just my thoughts.
