In a recent interview on the O’Reilly Factor, Laura Ingraham (subbing for Bill O’Reilly), interviewed Sally Quinn and KellyAnne Conway about the media’s obsession with Sarah Palin.

While the interview is another example of ad hominem discussions about Palin, Quinn’s quotes are very telling. Her attitude exemplifies the hypocritical standard of the modern feminist movement: you can follow the definition of a feminist, but you aren’t actually a feminist unless you hold certain political views.

SALLY QUINN, THE WASHINGTON POST: Well, of course, she is a feminist. I mean, if you look at all the things you’ve just said about her, she’s a feminist. I mean, she clearly believes in equality for women.

INGRAHAM: And babies in the womb.

QUINN: And most women I know are feminists. So I think it depends on who you call feminist. I think one of the producers was saying the sort of raging crazed pro-choice liberal women. But I have to say that of all the people I know, I don’t know a single person who feels jealous about her. I think that most of the people I know who are not Sarah Palin fans just don’t like what she has to say.

Really? Palin is a feminist? Interesting. What exactly is “feminism?”
