Sestak Says Specter 'Shouldn't Have Gone There' With Bachmann 'Lady' Comment

I'm waiting for Bachmann to apoloiize for lying about the president and his motives. In fact, she needs to apologize for lying about damn near everything. And, I'm waiting for the GOP to apologize for supporting a flaming lunatic for election to the U.S. House.

By comparison, Specter has nothing to apologize for.

Maybe Specter should have made a gender neutral request and asked that Bachmann "act like a sane person."

I guess Sestak will force TPM to apologize for that picture of Michelle they always use.

Specter is a gentleman, and is of a certain age where asking someone to act like a lady or a gentleman means "act civilized."

Maybe he should have asked Bachman to act like a human.

It's always rich when the GOP brings up charges of sexism.

Michele Bachmann's male detractors compensate with vitriol for their lack of virility. Old Specter is vacant & vapid even with Viagra, but for the vibrant & vigorous bon-vivant, Michele is quite the lady...Ohhh, what a lady!

Eh. I think most PA dem primary voters probably hate Bachmann's guts, so I doubt this will be much of an issue.

Spector seems to have found his inner liberal since he switched parties! He seems to be quite at home with us now and I am liking him more and more every day. In the present moment of disarray and disheartenment for all clear-thinking Americans, he is sounding a firm note of resistance to the ugly strident authoritarianism that Bachmann epitomizes.

Someone has to have the nerve to speak plainly and directly to the teabagging mob and apparently that somebody is an eighty-year-old former Republican. Snarlin' Arlen puts the Screaming Mimi in her place and all progressives are relieved to see someone stand up for America and our democratic heritage or even just for common decency. I felt the same way watching this as I felt seeing Welch confront Joe McCarthy.

I think this effectively wins the primary for Spector and ends Sestak's campaign. It's now Arlen Spector, progressive hero and liberal lion, versus Joe Sestak, wimp and apologist. You the man, Arlen! Keep up the good work and let's hear more of the same in the future.

Don't you dare apologize for saying what needed to be said. Now we need more of our leaders to have the guts to call a spade a spade and condemn the insanity of the GOP and their teabaggin' buddies.

Interesting that Sestak did not ask that Bachmann apologize for disrespecting the Office of the President when Bachmann was at her teaparty podium with signs facing her that depicted President Obama as a chimpanzee . .

Why was this woman not asked to apolgize ??

tick, tock . .

it's not demeaning or sexist, he was telling her to act like she had some class. An equivalent statement to a male would be "act like a gentleman." It was in no way sexist, and frankly Bachmann has ZERO class, so it was merited. this is a non-issue.

I really believe in the kid.

Sestak isn't gaining any cred by doing these types of cheap political attacks. If he was a Republican then yeah Republicans would like it, but he isn't.
