FOR APPROX 1 HOUR (UNTIL 12:05 UTC)

Mama grizzly is a term that Sarah Palin coined during the 2010 Congressional elections for female candidates that she supported. The term was formally introduced in July 2010 in a YouTube video released by Palin's Political action committee, SarahPAC, but the term first gained interest as early as May 14, 2010 when she said in a speech to the Susan B. Anthony List "If you thought pit bulls were tough, you don't want to mess with mama grizzlies".[n 1][1][2][3] The grizzly bear is a subspecies of the brown bear (Ursus arctos) found in North America. They are known for their aggressiveness, especially of the mothers in protecting their young.[4][5] The term implies that Palin expects from the candidates she supports to exhibit that same ferocity in fighting for the causes in which they believe. The day after the 2010 midterm elections, Palin made a "Morning in America" style video which concluded with a roaring grizzly bear, a reference to her mama grizzlies.[6]

History

Alaska's contribution to the 50 State Quarters designs
Elements: Grizzly bear with salmon (state fish) and North Star,
Caption: "The Great Land"

During her tenure as Governor, Palin chose as Alaska's contribution to 50 State Quarters series, a design showing a Grizzly bear grasping a salmon in its mouth.[7] At the time the design was unveiled Palin said, "I like to think this is a mama grizzly doing what she does best: taking care of her young."[7]

Approximately a year later, in March 2008, Palin connected the phrase "mama grizzly" to her political style while attending the National Governors Association's annual winter meeting in Washington, D.C.[8] At about that same time, Palin's firstborn son, Track (b. 1989),[9] was scheduled to be deployed in a combat brigade.[8] In talking with federal officials about the Alaska's efforts to get a multibillion dollar natural gas pipeline project off the ground, Palin expressed her motivation behind the natural gas pipeline project in the context of a mother's interest in protecting young U.S. soldiers, including her son Track, by reducing the United States dependency on foreign energy: "Don't tell me that we should ever be on our knees to any dictator because of our desperation for energy, not when we have supplies here at home. ... This mama grizzly ... has more reason than ever to protect our young."[8] By October of that year, Palin's usage of the "ursine metaphor"[10] -- "mama grizzly" -- in connection with herself became the topic of Julie Bosman's October 20, 2008 New York Times article entitled, "Provoking Palin's Inner Bear."[10] In that article Bosman notes that, according to Palin, the media coverage of her children brought out the 'mama grizzly bear' in Palin.[10]

Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin addressing the 2008 Republican National Convention on September 3, 2008. During her speech, she made a "pit bull" reference that she later commented on during a May 14, 2010 speech in which Palin noted, "If you thought pit bulls were tough, you don't want to mess with mama grizzlies."[11]

Other media began pickup up on Palin's efforts to tie "mama grizzly" to herself as a politician. On January 11, 2009, long time columnist and talk radio host Margery Eagan noted in her Boston Herald column entitled, "Unbearable Mama Grizzly clawing way to Oval Office" that a nine-minute John Ziegler interview of Palin on YouTube had nearly 750,000 hits and commented that this proved "that mama "grizzly," as she called herself, remains irresistible."[12] Also on January 11, 2009, The Columbian opinion piece entitled, "Legislators, grizzlies and Bible verses," commented, "Mama grizzly or Caribou Barbie? Sarah Palin is on the prowl, snorting that when the media poke fun at her family, it brings out the mama grizzly in her."[13] The connection between Palin and "mamma grizzly" was made internationally in July 2009 after Palin posted a quick tribute (a "tweet") to mama grizzly bears on her Twitter account to convey information about her recent visit with wildlife biologists in Alaska.[14] In their write up of Palin's tweet, the New Delhi, India based Hindustan Times made reference to a radio station interview in which Palin commented, "The toughest thing has been the shots taken against the kids, against the family. ... They're my kids. The mama grizzly bear in me comes out, makes me want to rear up on my hind legs and say, 'Wait a minute.' "[14]

In August 2009, The Columbian used the term "Mama Grizzlies" to group certain types of women with Palin in the context of United States politics, writing "But what if we had a four-party system? What if Sarah Palin and Rosie O'Donnell secretly conspired to simultaneously create two diametrically opposed parties? The Mama Grizzlies would empower all of the right-wing dittoheads who are sick and tired of the Republican Party trying to woo moderates and independents."[15] Nine months later, at a Friday, May 14, 2010 speech before the non-profit Susan B. Anthony List, Palin referred to moms who were rising up to pursue political office as "mama grizzlies" and, in comparison to a pit bull reference Palin made during her Vice President nomination acceptance speech at the 2008 Republican National Convention,[16] she noted, "You don't want to mess with moms who are rising up. ... If you thought pit bulls were tough, you don't want to mess with mama grizzlies."[11] Later that evening, during the May 14, 2010 edition of Special Report with Bret Baier, Shannon Bream, an American journalist for the Fox News Channel, brought together Palin's Susan B. Anthony List speech reference to "Mama Grizzlies" and the then Governor-candidate of South Carolina Nikki Haley, stating,

Well, Sarah Palin picked her candidate in the South Carolina governor's race. The former Alaska governor is endorsing State Representative Nikki Haley, the only woman in the contest. And Palin says, women who she calls Mama Grizzlies will lead a national republican wave in November.[17]

Response

In response to Palin's list of "Mama grizzlies", Emily's List, a group supporting pro-choice Democratic women launched a campaign called "Sarah Doesn't Speak for Me". According to Emily's List, the purpose of the "Sarah Doesn't Speak for Me" campaign is to "fight back against the radical agenda advocated by Palin and the numerous contenders she's endorsed across the country."[18] As part of their opposition campaign, Emily's List produced a video with women dressed up as grizzly bears saying that they are "mama grizzlies" who fight for their cubs, and that's why they oppose Palin. Pundits believe that since the group has not purchased any air time, the real purpose of the campaign is to raise money from their base of supporters.[19]

New York Times columnist Gail Collins used the term Mama Grizzlies to discuss the feminist credentials of the female candidates endorsed by Palin.[20] Lisa Miller, society editor of Newsweek, expressed skepticism broadly that candidates labeled as Mama Grizzlies were sincere in caring for children.[21]
