Although personal attacks by competing politicians are reprehensible, in my view, this was another thing entirely. It was a personal attack by a newspaper. And this, I believe. represents a new low in American politics...
No its not by a newspaper. Its by an opinion columnist. Kinda like Hannity expressing his opinion is his opinion not necessarily FAUX news opinion. And that's an international news network with far greater reach.
And where is the condemnation of all those disgusting things said about Michelle Obama? If lne is wrong so is the other

You do realize, I suppose, that labeling Fox News as "Faux News" is very trite by now. (You are at least the ten millionth person to do so, I would imagine.) And if this were merely an "opinion," one wonders just why it was splattered across the front page... Oh, and this begs the question: Do you really think that it is a legitimate "opinion" that Ivanka Trump is a "ghoul"?
Well, yes. It is a "personal assessment" that says that he is ethically above all politicians. And that would appear to be rooted in self-love...
True enough. But (1) I am not aware of a newspaper having said "disgusting things about Michelle Obama; (2) I would certainly condemn any such nasty rhetoric; and (3) you should really strive to avoid the tu quoque fallacy...
No. It is not the "[e]nd of [the] story." What possible advantage do you believe that a newspaper--not a competing politician, but a mere newspaper--could gain by smearing a low-level politician? And just what, exactly, do you believe that Ivanka Trump actually did (other than being related to Donald Trump) to engender such a smear?
I have been quite unaware of any such smears directed toward family members. If such ever occurred, then I thoroughly denounce them. Please provide proof of these "catty quote about Michelle." But do not attempt to claim that two wrongs make for one right...
Unlike so many, I am neither in the pro-Trump camp not the anti-Trump camp; I just call the shots as I see them... Do you believe that being in "the public eye" (come to think of it, the newscasters on CBS, NBC and ABC are in "the public eye") automatically makes one "fair game"--not for mere criticism, but for unconscionable smears?
FoxHastings said: ↑ Not a very complimentary description of someone who is supposed to be the LEADER...Ya know, LEAD and set an example..... Which is what I did....and , gee, of course you're neither pro nor anti Trump I don't know, give your definition of "unconscionable". Are you going to list everyone and anyone who is in "the public eye" to determine their personal level of criticism they should receive?
Women are supposed to support women. At least the Left keep telling us that. Did you not get the memo?
No, women should do what anyone would do, support those in the who need supporting. Women are under no obligation to support other women simply because they're women..,.
Oh come on! Get off your phony high horse! Libs keep calling Republicans misogynists, yet the Left are the biggest women haters of them all! Their hypocrisy smells to high heaven...so, if you don't practice what you preach, then no one listens to you...one of the MANY MANY reasons why you people Lost.
A dirty business because partisans and politicians are a pile of horse sh*t. And it is getting harder for non partisans and non politicians not to step in it given it covers the ground.
Women are supporting women, we now support the millions of women who have been sexually assaulted and sexually harassed. And the left doesn’t tell us to support a woman just because she is a woman, I guess I can say the right tells you not to support a woman. Just as ridiculous
