Win, win - right?
Pulease.

I am getting seriously fed up with all the "You hate her because she has a vagina" crap coming out of the Republican Party. I got news for you guys - we hate her because she's a religious right-wingnut with a gun fetish and a propensity for using her powers for evil.
How about this. Every time someone criticizes Sarah Palin, let's apply a little test and ask ourselves, "Would [X] be an issue if she were a man?" Let's try it, shall we?
Would the fact that she's anti-abortion and anti-gay marriage be an issue if she were male? Of course it would!
The fact that she's being investigated for abuse of power? Oh yeah.
The fact that she tried to have a librarian fired for not removing 'offensive' books from the library? You betcha.
The fact that she's a supporter of abstinence-only education who now has an unwed pregnant teenaged daughter? Rightly or wrongly, yes. Absolutely.
Even this would still be funny if she were a man. Ok, maybe not quite as funny...
In fact, the only person who seems to be treating Palin any differently because she is a woman is John McCain. Because if she were a man, would McCain have even considered picking her? Uh...
Oh, and check out the shenanigans on Wikipedia today:
Heh.

ReplyDeleteI agree with you. She would be just as much of an idiot if she had a penis.
BTW, how do you feel about the "You hate him because he's black" crap coming from Obama supporters?
Wonderful post, Jennifer. I really enjoyed all of it. The McCain/Palin spoof is a hoot.
ReplyDelete"BTW, how do you feel about the "You hate him because he's black" crap coming from Obama supporters?"
ReplyDeleteEqually stupid, although my impression is that, with a few notable exceptions, there hasn't been quite as much of that except from the real bottom feeders and a few deranged Kossacks.
BTW, I'm not saying that there haven't been some incredibly tacky and sexist shots taken at Sarah Palin. The 'beauty queen' cracks and the photos of her in the black mini-skirt are particularly offensive, and this meme about "should a mother be spending so much time away from her young kids?" is appalling, wherever it came from. And there have been some truly racist comments about Obama as well.
It's when every single criticism is painted as 'sexist' or 'racist' that I get fed up. There was quite enough of that during the primaries, and the very idea of Republicans accusing anyone of sexism is beyond hypocritical.
