DNC Advisor Hilary Rosen Insults Ann Romney, Freaks Out When Confronted

Democrats keep beating the drum of their faux “GOP war on women” by…..insulting stay at home moms

(ABC News) Ann Romney’s debut on Twitter couldn’t have come at a more opportune time.

Ann’s first tweet came just moments after Democratic strategist and DNC adviser Hilary Rosen lobbed an insult at Ann Romney, suggesting that the 64-year-old mother of five and grandmother of 16 had never held a job.

“Guess what, his wife has actually never worked a day in her life,” said Rosen, who was being interviewed by CNN’s Anderson Cooper about the “war on women.”

And then, just like that, a familiar name popped up on Twitter: @AnnDRomney.

“I made a choice to stay home and raise five boys. Believe me, it was hard work,” Ann tweeted.

Both Jim Messina and David Axelrod tweeted their disapproval over Rosen’s comments, saying families should be off limits. We’re still waiting for Obama to chime in. But, Rosen decided to keep going.

Following the interview, Rosen herself tweeted, “I’ve nothing against @AnnRomney. I just don’t want Mitt using her as an expert on women struggling $ to support their family. She isn’t.”

Rosen kept tweeting, not appearing to back off of her comments.

“@AnnDRomney Please know, I admire you. But your husband shouldn’t say you are his expert on women and the economy,” said Rosen.

Right, because a stay at home mom, who would typically deal with all the costs of running a household, such maintenance, clothes for the kids, supplies, and food costs. Even a rich mom like Ann would understand what happens with costs in the economy. Probably better than Rosen.

And this is a direct insult to all the women who chose to stay at home and raise their families rather than enter the workforce. And Hilary decides to have a little freakout at the HuffPo

Spare me the faux anger from the right who view the issue of women’s rights and advancement as a way to score political points. When it comes to supporting policies that would actually help women, their silence has been deafening. I don’t need lectures from the RNC on supporting women and fighting to increase opportunities for women; I’ve been doing it my whole career. If they want to attack me and distract the public’s attention away from their nominee’s woeful record, it just demonstrates how much they just don’t get it.

Yet, despite her claim in fighting for women, she attacks all stay at home mom’s while attacking Ann Romney. As one ABC article commenter writes “Raising 5 kids while battling multiple sclerosis AND cancer isn’t “work”?”

@IrishSpy (blog here) tweeted: Will Ann Romney be getting a phone call from Barack Obama now?

Michelle Malkin points out that Democrats have pulled the same stunt on Laura Bush and attacked Sarah Palin for being a working mom.

I wonder what Rosen thinks about women who work at the White House getting paid 18% less than the men?

The Lonely Conservative notes: “(Rearing the next generation is) only under appreciated on the left, so let them keep trashing traditional families and see how that plays out in November.”

    I stayed at home while my kids were young. It was hard work. I almost wanted to go back into the work force! But what I wanted even more was to be with and nurture my kids instead of daycaring them and barely affording the coverage. Lots of women in the mid to late 70’s and a little beyond still stayed home with their kids, as did all of the folks from my parents age group. “Stay at home Mom” should not now be a bad word. For those who can, God bless them- it is far better for your children!
    These morons on the left have shot themselves in their foot again.
    What is most stunning, is that the left consistently makes these ridiculously thoughtless and most often mean spirited statements, and never has to explain nor apologize for them!!!!

    Most men I know make sure they work to the point that they spend less time at home so they don’t have to put up with what women are exposed to.

    Another expose’ of liberal ideology. They just DESPISE women who choose to serve their family instead of government or other selfish self-serving jobs.

    They utterly HATE and SEETHE with anger over any woman who deigns to raise a family.

    And they say the are the only people that are accepting of any type of person. That they are fully accepting of women’s choices. And, that THEY ALONE are the party representing women’s values.

    More women need to wake up and realize these truths.
