Democratic Party strategist Hilary Rosen has apologized to Ann Romney. Well, sort of.
Of course, last night during an appearance CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360, Rosen said Mrs. Romney had “never worked a day in her life.”
Today, Rosen said, “I apologize to Ann Romney and anyone else who was offended. Let’s declare peace in this phony war and go back to focus on the substance.”
So what is this substance of which she speaks? Oh, that would be the “Republican War on Women” as demonstrated by MoveOn.org, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) or this op-ed piece by MSNBC’s Krystal Ball. Well, I’m looking into the future and I don’t think there will be any end to this phony war. And yes, it is a phony war. But they fired the first shots. They may think twice before firing at Ann Romney. But make no mistake. They are relocking and reloading.

"I apologize to Ann Romney and anyone else who was offended. Let's declare peace in this phony war and go back to focus on the substance," which, being translated, means: "It's your own fault if you took offense. Now shut up about it."

Rosen's Romney crack was simply a test drive to see how it handles. What she quickly found was a leak in the oil pan.
Rosen was only the first of many Obama soldiers who'll be sent-out to "walk the point." In this case, the point walker took some arrows. That's what point walkers do. In this case, they found-out that the path they went down was filled with too many snipers.
Sgt. Barry's leftist platoon is like crap in a baby's diaper: It never stops coming. We just have to keep stocked-up on disposable Huggies. Then come November, we might be able to toss the baby out with the Obama bath water.
Let's see how it goes. Till then, eyes forward and stay alert!

We should thank her and the Democratic Party for their honesty. As James Taranto shows today, this hostility to mothers is as old as the original femminists. For a group that so loves Ponzi schemes they do a lot to undermine the base of these schemes.

I thought liberal women argued that staying home to raise the children is working at home and just as important as working outside the home. Or is that only when liberal women stay at home?
albert constantine jr.| 4.12.12 @ 10:31PM
When you are a liberal woman arguing about the work value of staying home and raising a family, it is because you want the taxpayers to pay for it.

I'm simply amazed that none of these editorials ever mentioned the fact that this female accusor was/is a homosexual/lesbian with adopted children. What gives her the right to question a traditionally hetersexual wife/mother about life choices? Why is everybody hiding behind the couch of POLITICAL CORRECTNESS on this situation? This is not slander, but rather a fact! She was even involved with the homosexual organization HRC and promoted other LGBT agenda subjects. Additionally there is a connection between this woman and the reported activities of this other woman law student who testified before congress over birfth control. I think the WH had better walk back this woman really fast if they know whats good for their political benefit!!!!!

Was Hilary Rosen The Obama Spin Doctor Behind Sandra Fluke? by Breitbart News 6 hours ago 26post a comment With the new reports today that DNC consultant Hilary Rosen has been an incredibly frequent visitor to the White House – at least 35 times, including five times directly with the president of the United States – questions are arising about her role in the furor surrounding the Sandra Fluke incident. As Bill O’Reilly first reported, Sandra Fluke’s press relations was run by SKDKnickerbocker, the firm of Anita Dunn and Rosen. Fluke testified before Congress in February; on February 29, Rush Limbaugh attacked her on air, using the word “slut,” for which he later apologized.The timeline suggests that Rosen personally was an integral part of the coordinated leftist strategy to attack Limbaugh. On March 2, President Obama waded into the debate, calling Fluke personally. On March 20, Eric Wemple of the Washington Post contacted Dunn to ask about her representation of Fluke and her level of coordination with the White House. She responded:You should put this question directly to the White House, but I wasn’t involved in Sandra’s testimony or any arrangements around it …. My firm’s involvement with Sandra, through a friend of a friend, came about days after Rush Limbaugh attacked her on the air and the crush of media requests became more than she and a helpful friend could handle. The connection happened within days. Within three days, no doubt, just in time for President Obama to jump into the mix. But it wasn’t Dunn who was point-person on this case. That honor belonged to Hilary Rosen, who stated, “We are proud to provide pro-bono support to Sandra Fluke, an incredibly courageous young woman who is standing up for the rights of women everywhere in the face of sustained, personal attacks …. We were first connected to Sandra through one of her personal friends who came to us seeking our assistance.” While Dunn emailed Wemple the “Firm’s statement,” the statement wasn’t actually released until a week and a half after O’Reilly broke the news of SKDKnickerbocker’s involvement with Fluke.Dunn added, “I am not the person who is working with her, although I would be happy and honored to do so!”So, who was working with her? From the looks of it, Hilary Rosen. With Rosen’s close association with the White House, and the lack of visitor logs for 2012, it would be highly unlikely that there was no coordination between Rosen, the White House, and Fluke on the Limbaugh issue. And it is increasingly likely that Rosen was the PR genius advising the DNC and Obama behind the scenes....'

Where the hell do Democrats get these women--
Fluke & Rosen? What a bunch of nasty, unhappy
women. Who cares what they think.
Ann Romney has a handsome, rich husband who
loves her dearly and supports her in bringing up
gorgeous sons. She is a beautiful and gracious woman. I detect some jealousy on the left--
Fluke looks and speaks like an idiot while
sleeping around and Rosen has a puffy fat
face and no man.
Go Ann!!!! God Bless you and your husband.
Women like you make us all proud!

Hilary Rosen should be banned from politics for at least 3 to 5 years for lying twice. Sued for slander at very least.
