Reject Josh Mandel Supporters’ Fearmongering Whisper Campaigns
Filed Under anti-semitism, Campaigning, Elections, intolerance, Jewish, Josh Mandel, Politics, Religion, Scandal, Social Issues, Statehouse, Transparency, treasurer, Voting | 3 Comments
In 2008, people who supported Josh Mandel for re-election to the Ohio Statehouse (in my district, Ohio 17) tried to convince me to comment on fabricated fears that they had stitched together, and I refused. They were working to fan flames of fear in relation to Mandel’s opponent that year and the opponent’s wife. Mandel was many points ahead, it was 10 days before the election and there was no reason on earth to suggest that his opponent was an anti-Semite – but they tried it anyway. And it represented the worst that there is in politics. Mandel did not try to shut it down and the effort was able to be pursued by his supporters to keep people from being able to accuse Josh Mandel of doing it directly.
Now, in 2010, Mandel supporters are doing the exact same thing, except far, far worse – even after having been admonished and condemned repeatedly, and by people within the candidate’s own community for having broadcast, on TV and in print, the worst, false anti-Muslim innuendo this state has ever seen come from a political candidate.
Now, just two days before Election Day (though this campaign seems to have started on Shabbat, Friday night, of all times), Mandel supporters again are seeking to manipulate voters’ feelings and intellect with textbook fearmongering based on religion; they are trying to feed and feed on anti-Muslim fears. And again, Josh Mandel is keeping a virtual distance from the online smearing but is not shutting it down or condemning it.
I am writing about this because of my absolute belief in the sentiments of this extremely well-known poem, especially among Jews: Read more

Forbes: Are “Mama Grizzlies” Just GOP Men in Drag?
Filed Under Republicans, Sarah Palin, Women | Leave a Comment
Forbes came out with a list of 25 “power women” of the 2010 midterm elections.
You can have fun by first seeing if you can name 25 women in the midterm scenario, then rank them and then check them against the Forbes’ list.
However, what you may find more interesting is Forbes’ companion story on whether “mama grizzlies” are feminine conservatives or conservative feminists.

Ohio GOP, John Kasich & Josh Mandel’s Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
Filed Under Campaigning, conservatives, Courts, Crime, democracy, Elections, Ethics, Government, guns, intolerance, Josh Mandel, Law, leadership, Ohio, Politics, Republicans, Voting | 2 Comments
The Ohio Elections Commission has dismissed a complaint made by Former Fox personality and now Republican candidate for Ohio governor, John Kasich, and filed against the campaign of Governor Ted Strickland. The complaint stemmed from the traditionally wretched ratings Kasich has gotten over the years from the NRA. Even the Buckeye Firearms Association, which gives Strickland an A+, chastised Kasich. From Cincinnati.com:
Columbus attorney Donald McTigue argued that Kasich got an F-rating from the NRA in 1994 for his congressional vote in favor of banning assault weapons.
The Republican and Democratic members of the commission panel agreed, and in a 2-1 vote found no probable cause that Strickland’s campaign broke state elections law.
And, according to a statement from the Ohio Democratic Party, the Ohio GOP’s candidate for Treasurer, Josh Mandel, received even worse news.
The Ohio Elections Commission has unanimously slapped Representative Josh Mandel and the Ohio Republican Party with a probable cause finding for what have been denounced as “scummy,” “bigoted,” “irresponsible,” and “false” political attacks. The unanimous ruling was made by a bipartisan panel of one Independent, one Democrat and one Republican member of the commission.
…
Mandel’s ad has been denounced by major newspapers across Ohio. It was listed as one of the top ten most egregious lies in the 2010 election by the San Francisco Chronicle’s Politics Blog. Ad checks by Politifact Ohio and ABC 13 in Toledo have previously found the statements to be false.
…
The Commission found probable cause that Representative Mandel and the Ohio Republican Party committed multiple violations of Ohio law with their TV and print attacks. The statements include innuendo and lies from Mandel that Treasurer Boyce, a Christian, is a Muslim, and that he only made a state job available at a mosque.
More here from the Columbus Dispatch.
Definitely the Ohio GOP’s version of Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.

BlogHer.com has a history of political figures interacting with its membership. Carly Fiorina answered questions in a phone interview, and Kirsten Gillibrand met with BlogHers in person in New York City this summer (I was one of about 15 or so who was there). Now, the four candidates will answer questions collected at BlogHer.com, via Twitter and Facebook. If you are in Missouri or any of the congressional districts involved, please consider taking advantage of this opportunity.

The $27 Election Revolution
Filed Under activism, Campaigning, democracy, Elections, Government, leadership, Philanthropy, Politics, Voting, Women | Leave a Comment
Last week, over at MsRepresentation, I covered the issue of women, philanthropy and breaking the glass piggy bank. To recap, studies show that women give more than men when it comes to traditional philanthropy.
But when it comes to political donations, men’s contributions far exceed those of women, and even when women do give, it appears that they give more to male candidates than female! You can see more on this data at WCF’s Vote With Your Purse.
What will it take for women to realize the power they have?

Gloria Feldt on Women Making No Excuses, Seizing & Using Their Power
Filed Under Business, Culture, democracy, Education, employment, Gender, intolerance, leadership, Politics, Sexism, Social Issues, social media, Women, Writing | Leave a Comment
Recently, Brazen Careerist founder, Penelope Trunk, wrote a blog post that unleashed a torrent of diverse and sharply divided opinions about women’s career pursuits in comparison with men’s in the tech start-up world. In Women Don’t Want To Run Startups Because They’d Rather Have Children, she described what she sees as the incompatibility of the mandatory amount of time and energy required for pushing a tech start-up with raising kids. And then, she tied up this incompatibility to why women don’t get funding:
Startups move at breakneck pace, under a lot of pressure to succeed bigger and faster than any normal company. And women don’t want to give up their personal life in exchange for the chance to be the next Google. Or even the next Feedburner. Which is why the number of women who pitch is so small, and, therefore, the number of women who get funding is small.
…
And I’m not even going to go into the idea of women having a startup with young kids. It is absolutely untenable. The women I know who do this have lost their companies or their marriages or both. And there is no woman running a startup with young kids, who, behind closed doors, would recommend this life to anyone. For men it’s different.
After just over two weeks, the post has nearly 500 comments — and they run the gamut. It a fascinating, infuriating and enlightening thread. But is it empowering?
For that, we turn to a New York Times column by Gloria Feldt, “Where Is the Female Steve Jobs?”, that was published just before Trunk’s post. In her piece, Feldt, a long-time advocate for women’s rights and most recently the author of No Excuses: 9 Ways Women Can Change How We Think about Power, says:

[video] Attention Candidates: Step Away From the Motherhood Maelstrom
Filed Under Campaigning, Gender, Parenting, Politics, Sexism, Social Issues, Women, Youth | Leave a Comment
I took Sarah Palin aide Michael Goldfarb to task for blaming Sarah Palin’s motherhood for why she has troubles others don’t when it comes to allegations about how she does and doesn’t make commitments to do some politicking. You can read about that here.
Interestingly, since then, the Oklahoma governor’s race has heated up over the opposite direction of this debate: the supposed family values GOP candidate (who had an affair while in office and later divorced and re-married) has explicitly asserted that she is a better candidate for governor because she is a mother and her Democratic opponent, Jan Askins, is not. You can read about that here.
On Facebook, I was asked who I would consider to be the “major players” in the Republican Party at the moment, whom Goldfarb said didn’t have the pressures Palin has when it comes to kids, the sentiment being that having young children does in fact limit how much a parent – male or female – can extend him or herself.
Here’s what I found out in going through who is a major player – and who has young kids: Read more

Will Détente Request from Media Matters David Brock to Sarah Palin Work?
Filed Under conservatives, Debates, democracy, Ethics, intolerance, leadership, Media, peace, Politics, Social Issues, social media, Women | Leave a Comment
Yesterday, the founder of Media Matters for America, David Brock, urged celebritician Sarah Palin to consider détente (not sure if he defined it for her first but if she can see Russia from Alaska, then I’m guessing she knows about détente). Here’s what he wrote and here’s the ask:
Sarah Palin — who in 2008 infamously implied that Barack Obama was “palling around with terrorists” — owes it to our country to use her enormous influence with her devoted base of followers to call for an end to actual terrorism, no matter what its source. Byron Williams, inspired by Beck, endangered the lives of Tides employees and two California cops. Sarah Palin– you have the platform to condemn such calls to violence and you should use it to call Beck on his dangerous extremism that endangers lives.
Visit the latest Matter of Opinion survey, A Peace-Loving Sarah Palin Would “Refudiate” Glenn Beck, to see what others think about this bold move – was it a ploy? Should Beck be asked to chillaxe (chill and relax)? And do you think his rhetoric is in fact dangerous?
Personally, I want to know what on earth ever happened to one of John Boehner’s favorite pieces of legislation in 2007 – Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007, which he pursued with such vigor when George Bush was president.

Why Are All These White Male Gubernatorial Candidates Grinning?

You can read the accompanying article, 4 Rhode Island Governor Hopefuls Pledge To Appoint Women to Jobs, here. But seriously, folks. How bad is gender discrimination and diving for votes when, as a gubernatorial candidate, in New England no less, you have to pledge to appoint women?

Pelosi to Women: We Intend To Win For You
Filed Under Gender, Government, leadership, Politics, Women | Leave a Comment
Joining the Obama Administration’s outreach to women, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and U.S. Representative Rosa DeLauro (D, CT-3) held a conference call last week, focusing on issues affecting women.
Pelosi and DeLauro plowed through accomplishments for and concerns about the status of women in the United States.
On the 2010 health care bill, DeLauro emphasized that the real benefits in the bill, for women, will be transformative, declaring, “Women’s health for the first time is being treated on par with men’s health.”
Read more in my full post at Women and Politics about what Pelosi and DeLauro had to say, especially about how they beat back former President Bush’s attempt to privatize Social Security and the lessons learned then that should be applied now (hint: has a little something to do with unity, staying on message, standing firm and letting the people see for themselves that the changes being pushed were going to cut the benefits they already had).

Michael Goldfarb, Aide to Palin, Throws Motherhood Under The Bus
Filed Under Gender, intolerance, Parenting, Politics, Republicans, Sexism, Women, Youth | 6 Comments
My very first time on CNN was with Michael Goldfarb. I liked the guy – he seemed like a regular guy. Sadly, now we know just how regular a guy he is.
Yesterday, Politico published a lengthy piece by Jonathan Martin called, “Sarah Palin is wreaking havoc on the campaign trail, GOP sources say.” It’s a pretty normal flow of information, until you get to this:
“There is an enormous volume of requests for Gov. Palin to do all kinds of activities to help the party and individual candidates,” said Michael Goldfarb, an adviser to Palin. “She’s done as many of these events as she possibly can.”
He framed it as a matter of Palin putting her family first.
“People lose sight of the fact that this is a woman with certain responsibilities that other major figures in the Republican Party don’t have — in her case, five kids, one of whom is very young,” Goldfarb said.
I know when I read it I thought, “Aw man – you did not just say that – you did NOT just say that – did you just say that?”
Some of you are probably thinking, “What’d he say! What’d he say!” Here’s what he said:
…this is a woman with certain responsibilities that other major figures in the Republican Party don’t have — in her case, five kids, one of whom is very young.
Thank you, Michael, for highlighting the ultimate double standard that women in politics face: The menz simply are not expected or thought of as having responsibilities to their families. Period. End of story. No debate.
Read the whole story on why what Goldfarb said is the oldest double standard and chauvinist trope in the book here at Women and Politics.

Update on Jewish 10 to Watch: Mandel “Stirred Up Controversy”
Filed Under Campaigning, Elections, Ethics, intolerance, Josh Mandel, Kevin Boyce, Ohio, Politics, treasurer | Leave a Comment
Not sure what to make of the fact that only two of the ten noted by The Forward earlier this year are doing well. At least both are Democrats and one is a former Clevelander and U.S. Representative, Democrat Ted Deutch (FL-19). On the GOP’s Ohio Treasurer candidate, Josh Mandel:
Republican Josh Mandel is the youngest candidate from our list of Ten to Watch. At 33, the veteran of the Iraq war is a candidate for state treasurer of Ohio and has stirred up controversy in his state. Mandel’s campaign ran a television commercial connecting his incumbent Christian opponent, Kevin Boyce, to a mosque, while he is pictured in uniform with what appears to be a Middle Eastern background. Boyce’s campaign immediately sent Mandel a cease and desist letter requesting the commercial stop airing. Mandel received bad press for the commercial and was seen as feeding into the anti-Muslim sentiment pervading through the election this season.
The News-Herald today endorsed incumbent Ohio Treasurer Kevin Boyce, having this to say about Mandel:
Mandel touts both his admirable service as a Marine Reserve as well as his leadership — neither of which should be discounted. However, if the way he’s run his campaign is indicative of how he’d lead the Treasurer’s office, we feel Ohioans would be better served by someone else.

Matter of Opinion is Here! Like Wide Open*, But MUCH Better!
Filed Under Announcements, Blogging, Media, Politics, Social Issues, social media, Tech, Tools, Writing | Leave a Comment
The short version: Go to the current Matter of Opinion topic, take the survey and start helping to create a community response to the question, a response that it’s hoped will develop into conversation, debate and a more accurate idea of how people feel about a subject or incident, and show us where we can – and can’t – draw lines on many explicitly and implicitly political topics (and really, what isn’t political?).
The topic right now, so Ohio: Nazi Reenactment: Learning From Mistakes or Reliving Them?
The slightly less short version: Read the About Us page.
The slightly longer than the less short version: Read the FAQ page.
How’d I get involved in this? I don’t know! How did I end up becoming a city council member in Pepper Pike? Let’s just say that the folks behind this fascinating platform are as good at teh Google as I am and flattered me by making me think that this blog has a following (and yes, I tried to tell them, no one reads blogs anymore – but they don’t believe me).
*Wide Open, may it rest in peace, can be found here. It was a Plain Dealer political blog in which two left of center and two right of center Ohio bloggers went at it. Still kinda titillating to read – but also tortuous at times.

The Rules of Gender-Neutral Political Punching
Filed Under Campaigning, Elections, Gender, intolerance, leadership, Politics, Sexism, Women | Leave a Comment
I’ve been saying this for more than two years now but I don’t have the platform Ruth does. Great job in this Washington Post op-ed today:
Folks, navigating the modern lines of gender and politics may seem like picking through a minefield, but the rules for safe passage don’t seem all that complicated:
Don’t equate typically female characteristics or activities (baking, wearing high heels) with weakness.
Don’t — even, or maybe especially, if you’re a woman — equate toughness with manliness. At least not unless you think it’s acceptable for your opponent to tell you to behave like a lady.
Don’t use terms with sexist or racist overtones. If you, or someone in your campaign does, groveling works better than quibbling.
Politicians of both genders don’t need to man up — they need to grow up. Judging by the campaign so far, that might be harder to pull off.
Word.

[video] Attention Christine O’Donnell: It’s GOOD To Know and Admit Your Limitations
Filed Under Campaigning, Elections, Politics | 2 Comments
I cannot say it any better than Above the Law, who was spurred to write this because Delaware’s Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate, Christine O’Donnell, could not even with minimal intelligence, discuss the topic of separation of church and state:
Is it really too much to ask that we find 100 people who are familiar with the Constitution and its key amendments? I’m not asking for legal scholars; I’m asking for some basic awareness. [emphasis in the original]
We’re talking about minimal standards here, people — minimal standards to be one of 100 people with the awesome responsibility of serving in the United States Senate. This Christine O’Donnell woman doesn’t have it; why is that so hard for some people to admit?
Sarah Palin mocks President Obama because she fears that he doesn’t think we’re exceptional enough, but she wants to offer us O’Donnell as an example of what is exceptional?

Youngstown Vindicator: Mandel Campaign Example of What “Should Be Called Out”
Filed Under Campaigning, Elections, Endorsements, Government, intolerance, Josh Mandel, Kevin Boyce, Ohio, Politics, treasurer, Voting | 1 Comment
From the Youngstown Vindicator this morning (I apologize for the long quote):
When a politician appeals to the basest instincts of a segment of the population that deserves to be repudiated, he should be called out. That’s what we’re doing with the Republican nominee for Ohio treasurer, Josh Mandel. A campaign television commercial that aired for several weeks was unmistakably bigoted, despite what Mandel, a state representative from Lyndhurst, says.
He had the chance during his interview with The Vindicator editorial board to apologize or distance himself from the commercial aimed at state Treasurer Kevin Boyce, who has been in the position since January 2009, and he did neither.
Rather than provide the details of the TV ad, which we find insulting, we would urge fair-minded readers to access it on the Internet and judge for yourselves.
Mandel’s win-at-any-cost strategy is, unfortunately, becoming much more commonplace than is good for our national political discourse. Issues are giving way to personal attacks. That must stop.
And that’s not even the real point. This is:
It would have been beneficial to the political process had the challenger built his campaign on showing how he would do a better job than the incumbent. The Vindicator urges the election of Kevin Boyce to a full term — to strike a blow for good governance and for fair, honest political campaigning.
There’s really nothing to add, except watch this video about current Ohio Treasurer Kevin Boyce – it’s worth the less than two minutes:
