Is Newt sexist?

After a recent debate it quite obvious that Newt Gingrich does not consider Michele Bachmann to be any type of serious threat to his chance at the presidency. On more than one occasion Gingrich just brushed Bachmann off, clearly not taking her seriously. Bachmann says, "it takes a lot of me to pull the gender card" but she and many other, female and male, feel that Gingrich treats Bachmann differently than he does the other candidates. He speaks to her in a completely different tone than he does the men, and attacks her for things he would never think of attacking the men for.

In the December 15th debate, Gingrich said "Sometimes Congresswoman Bachmann doesn't get her facts very accurate". Bachmann demanded the chance for a rebuttal, “Because this isn’t just once; I think it’s outrageous to continue to say over and over through the debate that I don’t have my facts right. When as a matter of fact, I do. I’m a serious candidate for president of the United States." Then instead of challenging Bachmann, he simply mouthed to the audience, "Don't pay any attention to her; she's a little slow." Gingrich would never take that tone or be so disrespectful to any of the male candidates.

I do not think Gingrich telling the people not to pay attention to her was a good idea in the long run, but so far it has not effected his standings with the women voters.
