2011 Twenty hottest conservative women in the new media
Welcome to the 3rd annual 20 hottest conservative women in the new media…
The judges voted on over 40 contestants. After dropping the low score for each woman, the highest remaining scores made the list.
Do keep in mind that this list only covers women in the new media. That means no Fox News babes, no congressional aides, and no think tankers – unless they have a new media presence as well.
~ John Hawkins, announcing this year’s winners, which include prolife advocates Star Parker, Lila Rose, Michelle Malkin, Sarah Palin, and Ann Coulter, Right Wing News, June 8

Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
So when will the proaborts counter with their own celebration of their Homeliest Hags?
Am I the only one who thinks that holding a political beauty contest is shallow?
This might be a reasonable tactic. For instance, during the various public revolutions in Ukraine, Lebanon etc. the photographers tended to show youthful, very attractive women who opposed the corrupt governments. By holding up someone who is attractive, there’s a symbolism that others need to join a movement that has all the “beautiful people”. The “protest babe” drew viewership to the cause – although I’m certain few who looked at the photos took the time to look into the reasons why such women or men were out protesting in the first place.
Dressing up – glamorizing for the purpose of selling something, is a long held tactic of advertising agencies and has been adopted by practically everyone. Yes – Hawkins is using that device to drive traffic to his site…
Some can ask – “does it work?” Do such lists draw in people who wouldn’t normally listen to conservative arguments, but will do so because they are offered by someone they consider attractive – or is a matter of simply “checking things out?”
But I think the more important question is “Should we go there at all?”
Thoughts?
BTW – this comment is not a reflection on any of the women in the list. The most beautiful conservative women are those whose quiet spirit and steadfast determination have stood the test of time. They may not have a media presence but they have a huge impact on the lives of others.
What I got from this is that Hollywood does not have the market cornered in the “beautiful women” category.
One interesting tidbit is that Steve Ertelt of LifeNews was one of the jduges for this year.
You might want to ask him why he engaged in this exercise.
“This only covers women in new media.”
There’s only two kinds of media. Media, and old media.
I don’t think this helps our cause.
Am I the only one who thinks that holding a political beauty contest is shallow?
No, you’re not.
Stuff like this makes me gag. Why are we succumbing to the idiot culture on this one? Why are we objectifying these women and reducing them to “who’s prettiest” or even worse, “hottest?” And for the record, I don’t like the “hot guys” lists, either. This kind of thing reduces people to pinups.
Does being attractive give you more value to the pro-life, pro-family cause?? Did it ever occur to anyone that perhaps they just want to be valued for who they are and what they DO - not what they look like?
This certainly doesn’t reinforce the view that conservative men view women in the “movement” as slabs of meat or anything.

I agree. BTW, I hope I haven’t offended anyone with my previous “cougar” comments. I don’t view handsome young men as objects.
Gotta go now, time to groom my fur . . .

Unlike Anthony Weiner, who simply views women as fortunate recipients of pictures of his hoo-hah.
no Chris, you’re not the only one. I am sick reading this.
I’m not really offended or anything. . .but this is just strange. As others have said, the idea of a list of the hottest conservative girls seems. . .so. . .liberal.
Acknowledging their beauty (outside and inside, because who says this is all about outside?) is great. This isn’t a wet t-shirt contest, it is nice. Is it wrong to go up to someone and tell them they are very pretty? Someone for example you may admire for doing charity work or something? What if others hear you :O … so what, it is a NICE thing to do.
There is a lot of jealousy out there these days, but I bet if some were in this picture/news topic then they wouldn’t be bashing it LOL.
I think it is wonderful to notice the inner/outer beauty of our hard working conservatives for life. Why not? I never thought it was bad to tell someone they are pretty (again, inside and out) in fact, I teach my daughter it is the RIGHT thing to do, it is polite and sweet. :)
J.C.
Telling someone they are pretty is different than telling someone they are hot (the title isn’t “The Prettiest — Outside and Inside — Conservatives“).
I tell my boys this is NOT the right thing to do, it is disrespectful and demeaning. I tell my daughter that if boys tell you that you’re hot, they are telling you more about themselves.
I agree. The outside beauty of these conservative / pro-life women ( and that Italian actor?) is just an added bonus to their genuine concern for others. They could easily be self-centered and not care if their neighbor liquidates their offspring.
While I’m a big fan of John Hawkins’ Right Wing News site, his obsession with cheesecake is a little juvenile.
Then again, if some can admire a Picasso, why can’t a guy admire a Dana Loesch? :)
Agreed, Kel. This sort of thing only serves to further objectify women.
This seems to be objectifying women and substantiating gender stereotypes — that is, unless there’s a similar list of “hot” conservative men.
I’m wondering why this had to be reduced to a “beauty” contest?
I hate the word “hot”, but if you want to put it that way, I think being pro-life/conservative is “hot”..period. No matter WHAT you look like. ;)
“Then again, if some can admire a Picasso, why can’t a guy admire a Dana Loesch? ”
Dana Loesch the person or the body? there is a difference between a painting and a real person who is someone’s daughter, this just shows how this objectifys these women.
Admire the person. Being pleasing to the eye is just an added bonus. I also admire a little old lady with a pleasant smile. Especially if she were handing out a pro-life tract.
WTF?!?!
Chris Arsenault – Yea this whole post is almost as shallow and misogynistic as Gerard’s comment on it…
Gerard – WOW… I just lost a bit more respect for you sir…
Lastly there is nothing at all attractive about Ann Coulter inside or out.
I would be flattered if it were me in the top ten, I think all prolife women who take a unselfish stand, and men, are all hot!!! :P
Nothing wrong with saying someone is pretty, especially someone who is inside and out. I think this is fine, and I think a lot of people are acting jealous.
It does not make women look bad or anything unless YOU look at it that way which is YOU stereotyping. To ME and OTHERS it is simply fine and sweet. :) (this wasn’t directed at anyone in particular btw).
She is hot inside and out is how I look at this, look at it how you wish. :)
My response to this is ‘meh’. Does it matter? Is it important?
Ah, playing the Prince Charming role as usual Gerard.
“Unlike Anthony Weiner, who simply views women as fortunate recipients of pictures of his hoo-hah.” – and the women who sent him pictures of their ‘hoo-hah’ were…?
^Just as trashy as him. To finish your sentence Reality … lol.
:D
This is a fun article, in my opinion. I like it. Fun news. :)
Well some people would classify it that way J.C. but the question is, who’s treating who like ‘slabs of meat’?
Not jealous. Just tired of seeing women trying to fit into the “hot” mold by starving themselves, getting implants, endlessly exercising and becoming depressed. Just tired of hearing men making comments about women’s body parts, age and sexually harassing them.
Maybe we should come up with the “The Top Twenty Conservative Men Who Made the Most Money in 2011” Any man who thinks this would be shallow is more than likely just jealous because they don’t make any money.
(this wasn’t directed at anyone in particular btw)
Here here Praxedes! The amount of money spent on fatuous and failed diet and exercise regimes and equipment is a travesty.
PLEASE!! people stop using women as an object!!! that is part of the abortion deal!!!
Wrong mauricio, giving women choice and control of their own bodies is the antithesis of making them objects. Unlike enforced gestation.
Nothing wrong with saying someone is pretty, especially someone who is inside and out. I think this is fine, and I think a lot of people are acting jealous.
There is a DEFINITE difference between being called pretty and being called hot, and it has NOTHING to do with jealousy. Honestly, people at work sometimes say I’m one of the prettiest productions managers they know, and it doesn’t flatter me – it makes me feel as though they take their focus off my work and put it on my appearance – but it doesn’t gross me out nearly as much as when people say I’m hot, which makes me very uncomfortable. This whole topic is so disgusting to me, along with the comments it inevitably inspires about how pro-life women are prettier or pro-choice women are homely hags or whatever.
Am eagerly awaiting a press release from the winners denouncing this shameless objectification of their hotness any moment now…
hot is a word for pretty. Lol, it is how you perceive it. Perception is one’s reality and if you want to perceive this as negative then OK.
Prolifers ARE HOT INSIDE AND OUT WOOOOHOOOO Lila deserved this! :)
Carder, hahahhaha that cracked me up, yeah… waiting to see who will stand up against this cruel objectification of hotness and refuse to be on the list… pfffft. none of you would, and I sure wouldn’t. I would be flattered. But I am not on it, so I will give a high five to Lila!
I am a guy and I agree that in today’s culture, a women being called “hot” has a much different connotation attached to it than “pretty” or “attractive”.
Using one term might get a friend punched if they were speaking about my sister or another female family member, while the other terms would be taken as complimentary in a respectful way.
I think you are right about the social connotations of the two terms psalm. I think ‘hot’ implies more than ‘pretty’ does.
J.C., I absolutely would consider it objectifying if I were on such a list. I consider this sort of thing objectifying regardless of whether I am on it or not.
The “it’s nice to be told that you’re pretty!” line is the same thinking that catcallers on the street employ. It’s NOT nice to be reminded that you are being graded on your hotness or lack thereof just by walking around, working, standing up for what you believe, etc.
There is only one person in the world I want to think of me as “hot,” given the implications of that word. Everyone else can think whatever they want but I find NOTHING flattering about people making their private thoughts about me – or any other women – into public business.
I agree with Alexandra. Well said.
“Hot” implies more of a sexual connotation, in my opinion – it’s more objectifying.
I don’t ever want to be called “hot,” not even by my husband. To me, it’s just degrading – like not being viewed as a whole person as opposed to a body to be ogled.
I’d rather be called “pretty” or “beautiful.”
Am eagerly awaiting a press release from the winners denouncing this shameless objectification of their hotness any moment now…
Why should they even have to be subjected to crap like “hotness” polls?
The men who participate in these types of things really owe these women an apology. How about rating them on their effectiveness for the pro-life movement? How about rating them on their writings or speeches? How about valuing them for the work they put in every day for the movement? These women ARE beautiful, not because they look “hot” in a skirt or whatever, but because they are strong and they stand up for what they believe in.
I’m sorry, but as a woman, this kind of stuff is degrading, whether the women being dubbed “hot” realize it or not. This shows nothing more than the shallowness and idiocy of those involved in “rating” these women.
none of you would, and I sure wouldn’t. I would be flattered. But I am not on it, so I will give a high five to Lila!
You don’t know what we all look like nor what we have dealt with. I made a similar list in high school and was not flattered but offended. I hear middle/high school boys (and some adult men) objectify girls/women often, using the word “hot” mixed in with other language.
Maybe you would be flattered to make this type of list because you haven’t been objectified most of your life based on your looks.
As far as saying Lila deserved this, I agree she deserved to be recognized. Recognized for who she is and what she has accomplished, not for what she looks like.
From Pamela Geller who placed at #3:
Yes, friends and countrymen, yours truly won a coveted spot on the third annual 20 hottest conservative women in the new media. I ain’t first, but I ain’t last either :)

I am truly delighted to be recognized by John Hawkins and the judges who were kind enough to include me within this elite group of women.

…and #1
Today, Right Wing News released their annual “20 Hottest Conservative Women In The New Media.”
I’m honored to be the list and thanks to all those who voted… kinda speechless I have been named #1 on the list…
http://www.bettinainclan.com/
Those women ARE beautiful, not because they look hot in a skirt or whatever…
That’s assuming that looking hot in a skirt was the only criteria on the scorecard. I’m not privy to what Steve Ertelt and the other judges were checking off, so maybe it would be helpful to know that before demanding apologies.
Being familiar with Steve’s years of labor in the pro-life movement, I’ll go out on a limb and say that I highly doubt he would participate in anything that would intentionally degrade women.
Care to pipe in, Mr. Ertelt?
//alexandra:J.C., I absolutely would consider it objectifying if I were on such a list. I consider this sort of thing objectifying regardless of whether I am on it or not.
The “it’s nice to be told that you’re pretty!” line is the same thinking that catcallers on the street employ.//
to each their own! Then do not tell anyone they are pretty, ever, so you don’t stoop to my low level of thinking like a catcaller. (LOL) *rolls eyes*
I tell my little girl she is pretty, am I catcalling her? better call the police then huh…
Don’t say silly things and you won’t get silly responses.
To the rest of you: I understand hot may imply other things than pretty does in someone’s perception, and other perceptions saying pretty is bad, etc. etc… I think we prolifers are pretty and hot on the inside and the outside. I tell people they are pretty on the inside/outside all the time, why? Cause I mean it and I am a kind person who believes in self-esteem. :) Will I say hot? sure! Maybe it is just different for me and where I live who knows. I understand!
And praxedes: Uhm… when did I ever claim to know what any of you looked like? I never said any of you would NOT MAKE this list, good lord. And calm down people lol… ;) I think it is great that Lila said she was honored to be in this, I would feel the same. If you were in this list and offended, then please shout and scream of how you feel objectified. But I will support Lila and I agree with her being in it. I have bigger things to worry about fighting about than this ;) like saving lives.
Go Lila wooot! We are all hot prolifers inside and out! (unless this offends you, then you are not hot, feel better? great :) me too…. :D ) lol… nini all, I am in a great mood today ;)
No, sorry. “Hot” is just a step too far. What’s wrong with “best-looking”? “Hot” is how Jon Benet Ramsey’s mother wanted her to look. It’s part of the phrase Paris Hilton is best known for. Ick and ick again.
Best looking is a phrase that ramsey’s mom also used btw but ok. it implies that they are better looking than everyone else blah blah. Hot, everyone here can be hot! Hot inside and outside! I know some don’t like the word, but the ones of us Supporting this and Lila herself don’t seem to think it is a bad thing.
I suppose maybe it differs between cultures, where you live, etc.
I found a huge list of definitions straight from the dictionary on the word hot, so we can use it to mean ‘GOOD’, ‘EXCITED’, ‘PRETTY’, or even ‘A REFRIDGERATOR’ if we so choose to perceive it means that haha.
http://www.google.com/#hl=en&q=hot&tbs=dfn:1&tbo=u&sa=X&ei=1wDzTfTcAoq6sAOl74ytCw&sqi=2&ved=0CBYQkQ4&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=7ff7d408b5d36764&biw=985&bih=636
I don’t let words or things I perceive to be ruined or eaten up by famous people and media (paris hilton etc.) … Many famous people use God’s name in vain to mean something entirely different from what I know it means to me. Again, all about the person.
I suppose I can agree to disagree on this one though with those who think this is just awful ;)
nini <3
Umkay. Let’s all just agree not to get too hot and bothered by this post. :)
J.C.,
I tell my little girl she is pretty, am I catcalling her?
No, but it is my perception that you are setting her up to put too much worth on what she looks like and I personally would be somewhat creeped out if my dad told me this. Do you tell your daughter that she’s hot? Would you be okay if adult men called her hot?
Uhm… when did I ever claim to know what any of you looked like? I never said any of you would NOT MAKE this list, good lord.
No, you didn’t but you implied when you said, “I think a lot of people are acting jealous” and your perceptions were corrected, good heavens.
I too agree to disagree on this one and maybe the word does mean something different in my area than it does in yours. I personally don’t think it does anything positive for the pro-life movement or females in general and agree with Tony that ranking women on their hotness seems so liberal but it is the perceptions of the women on the list that matters the most and if they are cool with it, so am I.
Whew! Okay, I’m done with my spiel now. Let’s move on.
How much money did you make last year?
I agree with everything you said, Kel.
J.C., i’m not sure why you’re singling me out to roll eyes at and call silly, and then talking to “everybody else” as though I am saying phenomenally different things than them, but anyway, so you call your daughter pretty – would you call your daughter hot? If she were in a ballet recital and she said, “Don’t I look pretty in my tutu?” and some man next to you said, “Yeah, you look hot!” would you think that was just so nice of him?
Alexandra said:
There is only one person in the world I want to think of me as “hot,” given the implications of that word.
Alexandra – you’re far more conservative than I thought! Your observation is what I was referring to when I asked – “Should we even go there?”.
I don’t consider the term “hot” to be degrading or objectifying – but it’s current social connotation implies a high degree of sexuality. It’s easy to see why Kel wouldn’t care to be called that, even by her husband, however, I think her husband would have a different opinion. I think it’s okay for a husband to think of his wife as being hot, but might have concerns if other men found her hot or she was dressing and acting in a way that made other men consider her hot. Only the most naive women don’t know when that’s happening.
Men are very visual, making it easy for others to exploit this area. While porn may feed fantasy fulfillment for both sexes, it’s men who indulge the most in porn – and someone profits. In essence, the man is reduced to a loaf of bread.
I don’t think women appreciate how challenging it is for a guy to avoid looking. Do we, as a society, have a responsibility to assist men in not objectifying women? It’s a matter of balancing responsibilities and decorum. Visiting Right Wing News shows Hawkins has dating services advertising on the side, plastered with very attractive females. He profits from delivering eyeballs and clicks to such advertisers, and they know how to market their services.
People play a lot of social games, but I think they do so with a certain understanding there is an acceptable limit or boundary. Rep. Weiner’s online indiscretions aren’t physical, but one thing leads to another. His wife, working with Hillary, probably has the same sexual ethics as Hillary -“he may be a horny jerk, but his political power is advantageous to my ambitions.” Fidelity in marriage is less of a concern than political fealty. If such men ever threatened their wives political objectives – divorce would be imminent.
Several listed women are young enough to be my daughter – for instance Lila, so using the term “hot” to describe her to me feels very wrong. Given possible perversions of the left – the bizarro “hate f**k” Playboy promoted (then scrubbed), are wielded against them – putting them in harms way, I pray for their protection. Other women on the list I think of as associates, such as Sarah Palin, who already receives way too much perverse attention. Still others like Bettina wonder why they cut her boyfriend out of her photo (she supplied).
Not everyone has the same idea what social games are acceptable, nor does it seem many even know what the rules are anymore.
If conservatives are the ones who put serious thought into their behaviors, if they wish to guard and protect what they value, then I think it’s unwise to go down the avenue of devaluing those we consider champions of those same values.
By ‘new media’ do the nominators mean ‘the net/world wide web’?
I think Raisehell Maddcoww is kinda cute and MSNBC is not a real news source. It is more like Steven Colbert and John Stewart.
I nominate missy Maddcoww!
I would even nominate Bella Abzug if she were an effective advocate for pre-natal children.
LOVE can overlook a whole lot of warts.

“This certainly doesn’t reinforce the view that conservative men view women in the “movement” as slabs of meat or anything.”
===================================================================
You mean the way PP looks at a pregant woman? Just another cash cow to be milked til she is sucked dry and then discard her in the dumpster with the bodies of the dead babies?
Or the way Anthony Weiner, John Edwards, Bill Clinton, Kermit Gosnell, and the thankfully departed Ted Kennedy and George Tiller view women?
While I agree with Chris and Kel this sort of contest is shallow, there are no shortage of men or women, any where on the political spectrum who do NOT want to make the ‘top ten’ list.
You are battlling human nature which demonstrates an innate desire to be veiwed as ‘deisrable’ and to possess beautiful things.
Just compare a Yugo and a Porsche. Which one would most humans want to own?
Having pondered these comments…
If women want to enter a beauty pageant, fine. That’s their choice. If these women did not consent to entering some sort of contest, then this vote becomes pretty crass, and akin to a bunch of high school and college guys sitting and gawking, passing comments on women as they pass by.
lol Chris, that’s surprising – I don’t often get into my personal life here, but I have mentioned several times in the past that I am personally pretty cautious and conservative by some definitions. Not really by mine, but that’s a separate issue – I consider myself progressive and I make choices that fit logically and naturally into what I view as a progressive set of beliefs. People commonly get married younger than I was when I began having sex, and while I do certainly like to have a beer after work with the guys, I have never done any other drugs or even smoked a cigarette (although I am called on to light cigarettes at one of my jobs – I don’t inhale though ;) ). I have never taken hormonal contraception and I currently practice NFP. And so forth.
I am, on the other hand, not in favor of banning things like birth control, and I support the decriminalization of marijuana, and so forth. I am agnostic and unmarried – the former due to a natural skepticism and unwillingness to commit, the latter due to a variety of factors that include almost everything EXCEPT skepticism and an unwillingness to commit. I’m a tomboy, by nature and by job requirement, though I do occasionally enjoy looking pretty, so long as no jerk on the street feels like his opinion of me is MY problem to deal with (the other day I was having a professional conversation with a colleague, on the sidewalk, and some random guy came up and basically interrupted us, looked me up and down, and said, “God BLESS you, beautiful thing!” NOT FLATTERING. Pretty embarrassing, given the context. I was like, “Anyway. About that budget…” I don’t care if that jerk thinks I’m pretty, or hot, or whatever; and I don’t even care if my colleague thinks I’m pretty – but I don’t seek that out, and I don’t want to know about it.)
Basically I enjoy the free choices I have been able to make, many (certainly not all, or even most) of which skew more conservative than those of other people – but I feel that I enjoy them because they are freely chosen.
Numbers by Bobby Bare
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eD8sf0BfM7M
I was sittin’ in Friday’s suckin’ on a glass of wine
When in walked a chick who almost struck me blind
Had wet blue eyes and her legs were long and fine
On a scale of one to ten, I’d give her a nine.
Now on my scale there ain’t no ten’s, you know
Nine is about as far as any chick can go
So I flashed her a smile, but she didn’t even look at me
So for brains and good judgement, I’d give her a three.
I said, “Hey sweet thing, you look like a possible eight
You and me could, uh! make eighteen, if your head’s on straight.”
She looked up and down my perfect frame
And said these words that burned into my perfect brain.
She said, well, another one of those macho-matician men
Kind who grade all women on scales of one to ten
And, you give me an eight, well, that’s a generous thing to do
Now, let’s just see, just how much I give you.
She said you comin’ on to me with that phony numbers jive
Your style makes me smile, I give it a five
When you walked up I noticed that suit of (yores)
It’s last year’s double-knit frayed-cuffs, give it a four.
That must be your car parked out on the curb
That sixty-nine homemade convertible, a three and a third
Now, as for your build, I guess (yore) less than five
Except, for your pot belly, I’d give that a ten for size.
That wine you’re pourin’ might be fine to you
But I’m used to fine champagne, I give it a two
It’s hard to tell what your flashin’ smile is worth
I give it a six, you could use some dental work.
But, It’s your struttin’ rooster act that really makes me laugh
It may be a ten to these country hens, but to me a three and a half
And there really ain’t much to add once the subtractin’s done
Since there ain’t no zeroes, I give you a one!.
She walked out, while up and down the line
The whole bar was laughin’, said’ Bare, what happened to your nine
Nine says I, hell soon as she started to talk I knew
She didn’t have no class, I barely gave her a two.
Spoken:
Yeah! No matter how good they look at first
There’s flaws in all of them
That’s why on a scale of ten to one, friend
There ain’t no ten.
I used to have six pack abs, now I have a keg.
That ain’t no beer belly. It’s a solar collector for a sex machine.
It is a bitter pill to swallow when you wake up to brutal truth that you were trying make points with someone who was no longer keeping score.

Men
They buy you dinner, open your door.
Other then that, what are they good for?
Men! I’m talkin’ ’bout men.
They all want a girl just like the girl,
That married dear old dad: they make me so mad.
Men! I’m talkin’ ’bout men.
Well, you can’t beat ’em up ’cause they’re bigger then you.
You can’t live with ’em and you just can’t shoot ’em.
Men! I’m talkin’ ’bout men.
They love their toys; they make their noise.
They’re nothing but a bunch of overgrown boys.
Men! I’m talking ’bout men.
If you give ’em what they want, they never fall in love.
Don’t give ’em nothin’ they can’t get enough:
Men! I’m talking ’bout men.
Well, you can’t beat ’em up ’cause they’re bigger then you.
You can’t live with ’em and you just can’t shoot ’em.
Men! I’m talkin’ ’bout men.
In the beginning they always aim to please.
They serve a purpose; they fill a need.
They ensure survival of the species.
They take you for a ride, run of gas.
Most of the time they’re a pain in the a-a yeah, yeah.
Men! I’m talkin’ ’bout men.
Well, you can’t beat ’em up ’cause they’re bigger then you.
You can’t live with ’em and you just can’t shoot ’em.
Men! I’m talkin’ ’bout men.
Silver tongue devils.
Well, they’re lying through their teeth.
Saying anything,
Just to sweep you off your feet.
Ooh yeah, men! talkin’ ’bout men.
Mere mortal men.
They send you unsolicited renditions the of their proudest possession.
[Whoa, wait. I got carried in the way in the hyperbole of the moment. There’s ‘men’ and then there’s males mascarading as ‘men’. Anthony Weiner may be a male, but he ain’t no ‘man’. He is a perverted creep impersonating a ‘man’.]
