The Obama campaign has a Tumblr blog at barackobama.tumblr.com, and a recent image posted there should raise some eyebrows:

After conservative bloggers started criticizing the post, it was taken down. Shocker. Here's a screenshot:

What. The. ****.
The Democrats have now taken the "War on Women" to new heights of absurdity, and new depths of depravity.

Is the Obama campaign actually suggesting that if Romney is elected, the government is going to take our "lady parts" away from us? Are we at risk now for the horrifying genital mutilation practices that happen in areas of Africa? Who is exactly is going to be attacking us and stealing body parts?
Hi @barackobama: maybe you should rethink giving $450 million to Egypt, where female genital mutilation is still practiced. #LadyParts

But hey, let's ignore reality and basic principles of logic. There's an election to win, and pushing the talking point that Republicans hate women is so much easier than talking about the economy.
Never mind that ObamaCare provisions allow taxpayer-funded sterilizations of minors without parental consent.
Never mind that Planned Parenthood clinics have a long-standing practice of helping statutory rapists cover up their crimes.
Never mind that women continue to suffer under Obama's economy, their whole bodies, not just their "lady parts."
Bottom line: regardless of your opinions on abortion, birth control, health care, or anything else related to this election year, it is completely inappropriate for a presidential campaign to post an image like this.

That's really creepy.
