Maddow: Reporter Called 'Sweetheart' an Example of 'War on Women'
How sad it's not when a dubious meme is rendered threadbare from overuse.
Liberals are desperately hoping that their deceitful "war on women" defamation of conservatives will help them shift momentum away from Republicans as the midterms approach.
