Palin gave as good as she got. Her "Palling around with terrorists" routine was low. Right out of the gate, when she and Rudy Ghouliani sarcastically derided "community organizers" then dealt countless other low blows, she begged for exactly what she received.

yeah... but for some reason, you're expected to stand there and take abuse if its from a woman. If you fight back (even verbally) you're a big bully.
whatever, the first time a woman hits me? she's gonna wind up with a black eye... although, some of the women I know could beat the crap outta me.
same goes for verbal abuse, if they dish it out... they better damn well be able to take it.
I don't buy into the "weaker sex" thing at all... I haven't met anyone like June Cleaver in my life, and I don't think they exist to the extent that the MSM would have you believe.

I disagree - the fact is that it is easy to make fun of white men in power because they are the standard. For any person in a postion of power who also fits into a category that is protected from discrimination - women, minorities, etc... - subjecting them to the same type of satire and ridicule as the 'standard' white males will be a senistive subject, and will remain so until we achieve mroe balance in the make-up of our leadership.

The only time I saw sexism about Palin was when the news spent the better part of 2 days on how much her clothes cost? Do we not think that McCain, Biden and Obama all had suits on off the rack? Other than that I think all other attacks were fair.

That wasn't sexism because it wasn't particularly about the clothes; it was about the money, and who provided it. Shady at best.
Soundboy_jeff_meanie
· 12 months ago
the only reason you knew how much her clothes cost (and this was relevent) was that the RNC PAID for them.
the phrase 'putting lipstick on the pig' wasn't sexist either... dressing up a country bumpkin and teaching them how to speak in complete sentences DOES NOT make them presidental material (not VP, president... as that's what the VP is there for). Hence, pointing out that they spent $150,000 on her wardrobe proved the point that they (mccain's campaign/ the RNC) didn't think she dressed up to snuff for the job.
she was qualified in every way except her wardrobe?? c'mon, the hypocrisy in suggesting that the points made about her wardrobe were sexist should've been news in itself.
but the gop attacked and labeled any counter-attack 'sexist'.

Fey's also selling herself short. It sexist to HER, because it implies that she doesn't know what she's doing. She's just a girl who was being used by men to tell their mean sexist jokes about Palin. It must be true, after all, Palin was used by men to tell their awful racist/xenophobic jokes about Obama.
The idea that Fey is an accomplished writer, who was head writer on SNL for years and an Emmy winner for her own show, is lost on the thunderdolts who'd cry sexism. And perhaps it's NOT REALLY lost. After al, you can't cry "sexism" if a woman is beating up on a woman, especially if the woman giving the beating is smaller than her target, not an accomplished hunter, less physically imposing (in other words, if it came to an actual physical brawl twixt those two, that's the only time my money would be on Palin). So people who had nothing to do with anything have decided, facts be damned, that Fey was used to tell jokes men wrote about Palin, and she's too much of a stupid girl to know how she was being used and owes Palin an apology.
Meanwhile, off-topic but nonetheless hilarious, according to "Our Country Deserves Better," Palin still knows how to pack 'em in:
GEORGIA -- Thousands turned out today for a rally led by Gov. Sarah Palin in support of Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss. The stakes are high: if Chambliss losses (sic), the Republican Party will lose the ability to filibuster, which is the last card the GOP has to play to stop any reckless policy proposals by Democrats. (Note: Because we're all so sure no Blue Dog Democrats will ever support a GOP filibuster, lord knows we have a long history of being brave in the face of GOP obstructionism)
This effort marks the first step in the fight to take back Congress from the far Left in the 2010 elections. The Our Country Deserves Better Committee has been on the front lines of the national battle for the future of our country: we were a very public advocate on behalf of Gov. Sarah Palin, praising the conservative Republican leader in a national television ad campaign, while also helping to provide funding for Sen. Saxby Chambliss' battle against Democrat Jay Martin.
These are just two small steps in what will be a very long journey towards the 2010 congressional elections. Barack Obama and his allies in the far Left spent over 2 1/2 years preparing for this past election -- fundraising and organizing day-in and day-out for that period of time. (Note: While apparently the GOP was all too busy doing...what, exactly?)
We must do the same to achieve victory in 2010.
You can do your part with a contribution of $25, $50, $100 or $250 to the Our Country Deserves Better Committee - it will be an important investment for our country's future.

Too many women confuse aggression with assertion. That's the difference between a woman who's a feminist and one who's just trying to act like a man. After all, in being assertive, you have to use your brain, not your brawn as you do in being aggressive. And many women are just passive-aggressive.
A passive-aggressive woman will stay with her tormenter; an assertive woman will get a lawyer and kick him out.

They really did treat her badly, but she was very untested and didn't know the ropes. This does not only happen to women, it happens to many inexperienced candidates in politics.

Also, if that's all the sexism you say, then I question your level of comprehension because there is no way in hell you can honestly say that and call yourself a feminist. Selective feminist, possibly.

Apparently Caribou Barbie "forgot" to return some of those clothes that the RNC bought for her. She's sportin' some of the same fancy duds while campaigning for ol' Saxby Chamblis...
Dear, it was not just the GOP. You guys have a lot to learn about actual liberal feminist women. Many many of us also saw the attacks on Palin as sexist. In fact some of us were so disgusted we vote for her... and no, choice is NOT the only issue to women. So do not bother telling me that she stands against everything that is important to women's lives.
what Palin was not was experience in running for office on the federal level. She was not polished and she was not prepared to be a candidate. But in terms of actual governing experience, well she has more than Obama. Now I may be against a lot of her agenda, but the fact that you all dismiss the obsession with her clothes and her looks and calling her barbie etc...as being anything other than sexist fills me with despair. I wonder if you know that this is no better than 75 percent of black women voting for prop 8 in CA? It seems that we all live in our own little bigoted minority ghettos and think nothing of trashing the other folks just trying to get some equality in the straight white male kingdom we occupy.

Oh please. I'm so sick of Palin being defended as having more governing experience than Obama. Clinton was a governor. Bush was a governor. It doesn't have anything to do with whether or not somebody has experience, but what they make of their experience. Palin has spent 44 years of her life and all she's learned is to wink at the camera. She's ignorant. She could have spent her political career growing and learning. No: she can deliver a rehearsed speech, and then wink. I proudly did not vote for her.

The fact that you say "Puhlease" in the dismissal of the fact that Palin was the victim of sexism is absolutely absurd! Things were brought up about Palin that would never be brought up in the negativity which it was if it was a male instead- her clothes, her children, her family, her past jobs.

While I'm still not convinced that Hillary suffered any more sexism than Obama suffered racism...
My feminist friends weren't suggesting this, we were simply upset that at least the racism leveled against Obama was being seriously address -- while no one seemed willing to even acknowledge there was sexism being directed at Clinton.
From the "Iron My Shirt" sign to Keith Olbermann suggesting someone take her into a back room and only one come back out the sexism seemed to be everywhere.
If you hate her policies, say so ... just don't define her by her pantsuit. And even though she worked her ass off to get where she is (and to help Bill achieve what he achieved) Chris Matthews claimed she only became a senator because her husband fooled around. How sexist is that?
Obama gave an excellent speech on racism during the campaign, but we have yet to hear anyone address the sexism.

All these months later and you still refuse to understand. Its not that attacking Hillary was in itself sexism- all candidates go through that. And, we all expected a bunch of nasty anti Clinton stuff from the right. Its that when people (on this blog in particular) got disgusted with Clinton, they expressed that anger and disgust in very specific gendered terms and said things that would never be said about a male candidate, no matter how bad he was. (give me the male equivalent of the nutcracker please) I won't go on and on with the examples- they have been well documented. Its not that Hillary lost votes because of sexism- its that the venom leveled at her exposed a lot of attitudes towards women that many of us frankly thought had been overcome. And, this stuff was coming from men we usually think are on our side. That was the worst part- you expect it from the right, but not from your comrades. As for Palin- its not sexist to call her an idiot, say she is uniformed, call her dangerous, call her a right wing nut. None of that is sexism, but saying all that and then saying-"well I would still love to f*k her" is sexist. Talking only about her sex appeal, which we heard a lot of in the beginning and not her lack of qualifications is sexist. See- women can't win. If you are old you are a dried up old witch and if you are young and pretty you are only good for one thing. I know this may not make a lot of sense to gay men, but try for a moment to put herself in the experience of women growing up with this, or women who thought it had all changed only to find its still the same.

Tina Fey is full of it. Her goal was to destroy Sarah Palin. politically. You cannot compare the skits that Will Ferrell did on Bush or Dan Ackroyd did on Nixon to what Tina Fey did to Palin. Palin was an UNKNOWN at the time that Fey did her skits and she was running for national office for the first time. In comparison, Bush and Nixon were both Presidents when Ferrell and Ackroyd started to impersonate them. They had well known public persona's but most importantly they were already in office. Fey wanted to destroy Sarah Palin's publcic image before anyone could really get to know Palin. Fey likes to represent herself as a feminist. If so her main legacy as a feminist is that she played a key role in helping to defeat the first woman Vice-President. Congratulations Tina on a smear job well done! Talk about a lack of balance! I would like to hear from Tina Fey as to how many skits she did on Palin from September 1 to Election Day versus how many SNL did on Obama. (Did they even do one Obama skit after September 1???) Tina Fey is right about one thing. Sarah Palin is a strong woman and she will be back on the national scene. Next time she will be ready for Tina Fey's smear jobs.
