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]

Nearly one year later, while promoting the Alaska natural gas pipeline project to federal officials in Washington D.C., Palin said, "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." Referring to her son's imminent deployment to the Iraq War zone, she added, "This mama grizzly ... has more reason than ever to protect our young."[8] By October of 2008, Palin's usage of the bear metaphor to describe herself was reported in a New York Times article, "Provoking Palin's Inner Bear," which quotes her as saying that when she hears negative media coverage about her children, "the mama grizzly bear in me comes out, makes me want to rear up on my hind legs and say, ‘Wait a minute.’"[9]

Palin addressing the 2008 Republican National Convention. During her speech, she called herself a "pit bull". In a May 2010 speech she noted, "If you thought pit bulls were tough, you don't want to mess with mama grizzlies."[10]

Soon, other media outlets began picking up on Palin's self description. In January 2009, Margery Eagan of the Boston Herald penned a column, "Unbearable Mama Grizzly clawing way to Oval Office" in which she notes that a YouTube interview of Palin had nearly three quarters of a million views, proving "that mama "grizzly," as she called herself, remains irresistible."[11] The Vancouver, Washington newspaper, The Columbian commented in January 2009 that "Sarah Palin is on the prowl, snorting that when the media poke fun at her family, it brings out the mama grizzly in her."[12] The connection between Palin and "mamma grizzly" was made internationally in July 2009 when the New Delhi, India based Hindustan Times reported on a Palin twitter that described mama grizzly bears that Palin had seen in Alaska.[13] In August 2009, an opinion piece in The Columbian suggested that Sarah Palin could be a Mama Grizzly head of a third party or fourth U.S. political party.[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."[10] 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]

At the time of the article, neither candidate received Sarah Palin's endorsement.[29]

In Slate, Noreen Malone used the term to describe conservative women at the Smart Girl Summit, and their effective use of social networking in 2010 political campaigns.[30]
