Depravity, Not Decency
By Ani on October 6, 2008 at 10:00 PM in 4th Amendment, Gender Bias, Hillary Clinton, Misogyny, Sarah Palin, Sexism
At a work-related function Thursday, two bosses of mine decided to make a snarky, demeaning remark about Governor Palin in my presence. I’m sure they assume I am a Democrat and as such, the fact that I am a woman would have no bearing on the fact that they were deeply insulting someone of my gender.
She is a Republican. Therefore she is not human. She has chosen to raise a Down Syndrome baby and therefore that makes her something of a Neanderthal.
“She is only the Governor of Alaska – not a real state after all. Don’t they just have lots of snow and ice up there? I mean, who lives there, like 50 people, you know, next to that bridge to nowhere. What does she: shovel moose poop in front of the door of the shack she lives in with that husband of hers and five brats? God, she’s really stupid, huh? What an airhead. It’s a disgrace. Just because she can see Russia from her window, what does she know about foreign policy?
She’s a heartbeat away from the Presidency. I mean, McCain’s on his last legs, isn’t he? So she commands the Alaska National Guard – what are they, like, the boy scouts? What did Congressman Charlie Rangel say – “she’s disabled”?
It just keeps getting better.
I was in the yard while the Vice Presidential debate was taping. A neighbor poked her head out to say, “He’s slaughtering her!” I read some news story in the Boston Globe where a voter talking to Joe Biden said, “Take her down.” Someone else said, “Make her cry.”
Do all these filthy degenerate pustules of the lowest order have any idea of the hateful misogyny they are guilty of?
Thursday night, all the feelings came back – the misogynist Hillary horror show of the last nine months. Every nasty thing they said. Every great thing she did that they pretended didn’t exist. Every time the media, the DNC elite and the Obama thug squad keep moving the goal post and rearranging the rules to suit themselves and saying:
It’s not enough. You’re not enough. You’ll never be enough. No matter how you do it, we will find something wrong with it. We will find something wrong with you. Your pantsuits. Your ass. Your face. Your cackle. Your statements. Your family. Your solid record, which we will pretend amounts to much less than the empty briefcase of the charlatan against whom you are running.
Cold comfort to see this was not reserved for Hillary alone. How nice for her that she gets to sit in Washington, D.C. or in her New York office and witness this debacle leveled at Sarah Palin, so she can relive the lovely experience herself as well.
I was never so ashamed of having spent my life as a Democrat. What makes Democrats any better than the Republicans they have been forever characterizing as evil? I thought we were the party of tolerance, equal rights, equal opportunity and openness.
I was wrong.
We have been screaming at the Bush administration not to condone torture. Tell me, to whom do I apply for redress when I feel like I am being figuratively tortured having to listen to, and by extension, be slapped with these kinds of insults and demeaning behavior.
It is abuse. It is misogyny. It is vile no matter the source or object.
God forbid you find fault with someone on the issues. On something real.
A peripheral friend emailed me an offensive piece of material on Palin. It was written by Eve Ensler, another pretend feminist who penned something so vile and so bogus, I wonder that her nose didn’t grow and poke a hole in her computer screen before she hit the send button. Prior to this, the friend and I had not talked politics this year. I politely, so politely, informed her that I am not an Obama supporter. Her response was that she was shocked! Shocked!!
Oh, the humanity!! The self-righteous, pretentious outrage of it all! My response to her little missive, suffice it to say, was somewhat more thorough.
And you can take that any way you want to take it.
I suppose now, for all my education and the respect I have previously received from this person, and all the times I have fed and entertained her at my home, I am now considered a low information Neanderthal as well. Everything before has been wiped away. She even intimated we must be suffering from some deep seated racial bias.
She is an idiot. Let her worship at the foot of his “HOPE” poster and never darken my door again. Our friendship is over.
After our neighbor gave me the ‘review,’ I finally sat down with my husband to watch the debate we had TiVo’d for myself. Imagine my surprise when Sarah-cuda gave as good as she got – in fact, by all accounts she did much better than that.
I found myself weeping. It’s not that I’m so enamored of her, but I was so puking sick of watching yet another woman treated like dirt. Well, plenty of Dems treated Hillary like dirt. What did I expect they would do to a woman on the other side of the aisle?
It must be truly threatening to see a successful woman step up to the plate and stake a claim to something even bigger. The ‘male’ whom history seems hell bent on anointing as this ‘historic candidate’ is as thin as tissue paper but how dare we tell the truth about that. The contrasts in acceptable criticism of one versus the other show so wide a chasm, it defies description.
The horrid occurrences that came flooding back once again ensured I will never stand with any of this hateful cadre. If they can win this election, let them do it on their own.
What kind of a decent human being can treat a woman, a mother of five, a fellow human being this way? Have we lost so much as a society that this kind of low behavior is tolerated, even accepted?
Registering as an Independent when the primary ended was not only an act of protest against this undemocratic Democratic Party, but it helped to open my eyes. I can actually see how the other side has a point and is sick of our side’s elitism and snobbery.
Since the DNC says we need to elect Obama because he is a ‘symbol,’ well, America is a symbol as well. And electing ‘Party’ is not half as important to me now as electing character, decency, and honor.
Rove’s thugs may have stolen at least one of the last two elections. Does that make it permissible for our side to do it? The answer is a resounding no.
Just because neo-cons hijacked the Republican Party eight years ago, if the far left hijacks the Democrats, will that lead to a better end? Again, no.
Since I mentioned torture earlier, that is as good an analogy as any. Abu Graib represented the worst of America, not her best. We are who we are because we respect others rights, because we stand for freedom and decency. Once we show that it is all right to treat the other side with depraved indifference, we are no better. And they have succeeded in turning ‘us’ into ‘them.’
Likewise, if you think that Obama’s fraudulent tactics, nefarious connections and constant dissembling are acceptable, then Rove, Cheney and their ilk win.
The people attacking Sarah Palin are just as vile, if not worse, than any attack ever leveled at ‘us’ by Rush Limbaugh or Ann Coulter.
What makes us better?
What makes the left better than the right?
Right now: nothing.
great post, ani. thank you for this.
The sexism must be stopped.
Both Hillary trashing and Palin trashing are not just sexism. It’s sheer hatred.
I totally agree with Ani.
Here’s my thought.
http://colberturdead2me.wordpress.com/2008/10/06/a15/
Whats hillarious about this whole Sarah Palin thing is the empty-headed terrorist loving Democrats who bow to their idol Obomber are just pissed they didn’t pick a woman to run! The party who is supposedly feminist and open-minded free thinkers are the ones who just followed the norm!! ha ha Obama lovers, you better grab your balls- (O sorry you don’t have any) and look out for Sarah Palin
Ani, I meant to mention this over at Camille’s blog, but you’ve said EVERYTHING I have wanted to say in this one essay. As always, I’m impressed and grateful to you!
Well written.
Hey guys, Jake Tapper is mention right change on his nightly post. Apparently he caught one of the right change ads that was posted here a couple of days ago, in North Carolina.
The one regarding Fannie and Freedie, here is the link

Very well written Ani! Thank you for this.
And add my thank you, Ani. A long time ago we stopped talking politics with our Democratic friends (we are now independent)in an attempt to keep our friendship after this horror ends. And it will - one way or another. We’re just hoping the end that spares the country his Presidency prevails.
I just realized that I said we were keeping our mouths shut when these horrific remarks swirl around us. We used to be Democrats but no one knows we are now Independent and voting McCain/Palin. I’m watching CNN and their raising Obama polls. How many are there like us that are either refusing to be polled or telling the pollsters we are Obama supporters because Obama supporting friends/relatives are nearby? In this atmosphere I would find it unusual for Democrats for McCain to step forward publicly. Does anyone else feel that way?
I am hearing this, too.
I don’t have evidence as to actual numbers across the country, but I do know quite a number of people, previously die hard Democrats, who are just quietly going about their business, and who will vote for the McCain ticket and a few who will vote third party.
A/C 360 covered the Obama/Ayers relationship and they were pretty hard on Obama.
Since they repeat the show several hours during the night, the segment occurs about 15:00 after the hour. It should be on again in a few minutes.
How the Democrats created the meltdown on Wall Street
By BLOOMBERG
Greenspan’s warning The clear gravity of the situation pushed the legislation forward. Some might say the current mess couldn’t be foreseen, yet in 2005 Fed chairman Alan Greenspan told Congress how urgent it was for it to act in the clearest possible terms: If Fannie and Freddie “continue to grow, continue to have the low capital that they have, continue to engage in the dynamic hedging of their portfolios, which they need to do for interest-rate risk aversion, they potentially create ever-growing potential systemic risk down the road,” he said. “We are placing the total financial system of the future at a substantial risk.” What happened next was extraordinary. For the first time in history, a serious Fannie and Freddie reform bill was passed by the Senate Banking Committee. The bill gave a regulator power to crack down, and would have required the companies to eliminate their investments in risky assets.
Different world If that bill had become law, then the world today would be different. In 2005, 2006 and 2007, a blizzard of terrible mortgage paper fluttered out of the Fannie and Freddie clouds, burying many of our oldest and most venerable institutions. Without their checkbooks keeping the market liquid and buying up excess supply, the market would likely have not existed. But the bill didn’t become law, for a simple reason: Democrats opposed it on a party-line vote in the committee, signaling that this would be a partisan issue. Republicans, tied in knots by the tight Democratic opposition, couldn’t even get the Senate to vote on the matter. That such a reckless political stand could have been taken by the Democrats was obscene even then. Wallison wrote at the time: “It is a classic case of socializing the risk while privatizing the profit. The Democrats and the few Republicans who oppose portfolio limitations could not possibly do so if their constituents understood what they were doing.” Mounds of materials Now that the collapse has occurred, the roadblock built by Senate Democrats in 2005 is unforgivable. Many who opposed the bill doubtlessly did so for honorable reasons. Fannie and Freddie provided mounds of materials defending their practices. Perhaps some found their propaganda convincing. But we now know that many of the senators who protected Fannie and Freddie, including Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Christopher Dodd, have received mind-boggling levels of financial support from them over the years. Throughout his political career, Obama has gotten more than $125,000 in campaign contributions from employees and political action committees of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, second only to Dodd, the Senate Banking Committee chairman, who received more than $165,000. Clinton, the 12th-ranked recipient of Fannie and Freddie PAC and employee contributions, has received more than $75,000 from the two enterprises and their employees. The private profit found its way back to the senators who killed the fix. There has been a lot of talk about who is to blame for this crisis. A look back at the story of 2005 makes the answer pretty clear. Oh, and there is one little footnote to the story that’s worth keeping in mind while Democrats point fingers between now and November 4: Senator John McCain was one of the three cosponsors of S.190, the bill that would have averted this mess. Kevin Hassett, director of economic-policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute, is a Bloomberg News columnist. He is an adviser to Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona in the 2008 presidential election. The opinions expressed are his own.
Pardon me, but what does this have to do with topic of this post?
REPUBLICAN DAILY SCHEDULE:
1. Get up.
2. Pee.
3. Screw things up.
4. Blame the liberals.
Is either you have not being paying attention, or you do not want to face the truth.
Let’s see…
The left didn’t steal two Presidential elections, put convicted criminals, traitors, and war criminals in the White House, let the terrorists get through and tried to blame Bill Clinton, lose a major city (and try to blame the Democrats) piddle away the Clinton surplus, shame America before the entire world, let our wounded vets lie around in their own urine, engineer the Second Great Depression (and tried to blame the Democrats), create and spread misogynistic lies about Hillary and Chelsea Clinton, create and spread scrofulous rumors about their own candidate, smeare a Viet Nam War hero to win the Presidency, lost all our allies of consequence, rack up more debt than all previous Presidents combined, cause the violent crime rate to go up, cause the infant mortality rate to go up for the first time in 40 years, insinuate corruption into every fiber of the body politic, or make torture national policy.
We’re also more tolerant and intelligent, generally.
This election is not about left versus right. It is about stopping The Precious, a wannabe tyrant from taking over our country. We can go back to ideological debates after the election.

Not this year, Perry.
Most unfortunately.
Our own party turned on us and every night Perry is here defending them. It’s getting on my nerves!
Perry’s rants are getting on my nerves, too. So I ignore them. I pass over his strange video links, too. One was too many.
I’ve had enough of Perry. I just unsubscribed from his videos on YouTube.
Great article, Ani. As usual your work is superb!
Perry — did you know 4 of the Keating 5 were democrats. Did you know McCain was the only one of them EXONERATED.
Did you know Barney Frank was having a love affair with one of the men charged with overseeing Freddie and Fannie? And that it was Barney (Along with Senator Dodd) who blocked regulation of Fannie & Freddie? And speaking of Senator Dodd — did you you as the head of the banking committe it was clearly an illegal favor when Countrywide gave Dodd a very low VIP mortgage rate?
Did you know Nancy Pelosi is funneling her campaign contributions to her husband as a “consultant” by setting up a company under his name?
Did you know the Chicago Daley cabal selected Biden to be Obama’s running mate because favors were owed. And that Biden’s top fundraiser was indicted ALONG WITH Obama’s buddy, Rezko. Weird coincidence, no?
Going further back —
Did you know Lyndon Johnson was tied to the murder of a leading Texas businessman who was about to turn state’s evidence against him. Johnsin was actually bane in court papers as part of the conspiracy. But the case was shuffled aside when Johnson became JFK’s VP.
Did you know that Jack Kennedy’s father squeaked out a win for his son’s presidency by teaming with Mob bosses in Chicago and ordering all union members to stuff ballot boxes for JFK and provide muscle at the voting polls?
These things are off the top of my head — I bet if I research I can find more.
Perry - can you say with a straight face that Democrats — especially Obama — come into office with clean hands?
If that’s what you’re implying then intelligence isn’t your strong suit.
I really don’t know how many times this needs to be said.
BOTH SENATORS MCCAIN AND GLENN WERE EXONERATED.
Get your facts right.
Obama supporters are quick to say “This is no worse than John McCain’s involvement with Lincoln Savings, John Keating, and McCain’s role in the “Keating Five”. The difference is, no one from Lincoln Savings, including John Keating ever served on John McCain’s election campaigns. And, John McCain donated all campaign contributions from Keating, his relatives, and his employees to the US Treasury.
John McCain only requested that Federal Banking Regulators give Keating and Lincoln Savings a fair hearing, and make sure they were treated with due process by the regulatory agency. McCain specifically told regulators “I wouldn’t want any special favors for Keating or Lincoln Savings” and “I don’t want any part of our conversation to be improper”.
The Senate Ethics Committee probe of the Keating Five began in November 1990, and committee Special Counsel Robert Bennett, a Democrat, recommended that McCain and Ohio Senator John Glenn be dropped from the investigation.
In February 1991, the Senate Ethics Committee exonerated McCain and Glenn, saying “McCain and Glenn attended the meetings but did nothing to influence the regulators” and declared his actions were not “improper nor attended with gross negligence.”. McCain contributed $112,000 (the amount raised for him by Keating and associates) to the U.S. Treasury. http://www.slate.com/id/1004633/
They are reaching, because that’s all they’ve got. And it’s not just Ayers–it is part of a very obvious radical pattern: Ayers, Wright/Black Liberation Theology, Pfleger, Meeks, Khalidi et. al. If the Fourth Estate was not dead, this would have all been investigated months ago.
You forget that the committee found that McCain exercised poor judgment. Isn’t that the claim that you repugs use when talking about Wright and Ayers? That Obama exercised poor judgment in his associations, so its fair game to me. I think there are better targets than the Keating 5. You want to talk associations? G. Gordon Liddy. I hope Obama counters with that association tonight.
OK. Let’s Play the Bad Associations Game:
McCain - 1
Obama - 38
Don’t forget that when the Wright tapes first broke in the national (soon-to-be-in-the-tank-for-Obama) media, many were comparing Wright’s connection to Obama with Hagee’s connection to McCain. Never mind that McCain didn’t sit in Hagee’s church for 20 years. Never mind that McCain didn’t have Hagee officiate at his wedding or have Hagee oversee his children’s baptisms. Never mind that McCain didn’t consider Hagee to be a “close friend”.
The simple fact that a white right-wing Christian nutcase had endorsed McCain was enough to be the absolute equivalent to a Black left-wing Christian nutcase’s connections to Obama.
So that makes 3 Democrats not Exonerated, 1 Dem and 1 Rep Exonerated.
Next.
Thank you, Susan!
Perry you are full of it. During the primary, the Democrats were disgustingly misogynistic and sexist towards only covertly so. They stood by in silence while the right skewered her.
Obama said that Regan had all of the good ideas, thereby snubbing Bill’s Presidency and then Obama’s surrogates started saying Bill was a racist. In fact, Tim Russert caught Obama in his own lie about playing the race card “under the radar.”
The Democrats did much damage to the Clinton legacy. I wish Bill Clinton would piss all over you and Obama.
Get your facts straight! Obama said Reagan was a transformative figure in politics, which he was whether you liked him or not (I didn’t) and as Obama countered when attacked, Hillary said glowing things about Reagan’s economic and foreign police in a Tom Brokaw book.
Ani posted this for you to think about what we have been doing to women: the way the men “world” treat your sister, your girlfriend, your mom, your wife.
All your doing here is going off point, sounding like you have ever cared about the Clintons. As always sounding off.
Oh, I forget your are Perry Logan.
Stick to the topic next time.
This election isn’t about party, anymore. This election is really about saving America to improve her, or losing our Traditional American Way of Life.
This fight is not along party lines, it is along patriotic lines. There are democrats-whose-party-left-them, centrists,moderates on each side and repubs whose party leadership left them. Against the bots and the Shadow Candidate. The importance of this election is trememdous, and it has allowed many of us who would ordinarily not speak, work together for a common good. A cause greater than ourselves. We wont give up, and we will not forget the bond that we have forged. Onward! Distribute flyers, make phone calls, and make this video go viral http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voBBx9EaEGA&feature=related
God bless you all and God bless America.
God Bless You, too.
No one said the Democratic party didn’t have heroes. There’s FDR, John and Robert and Martin to name a few and they left some mighty big shoes to fill. Our complaints are that the Democratic party chose the least qualified of the candidates to fill them - although the rank and file party members chose Senator Clinton.
And just as the Republican party turned away from its ideology to put George W. Bush in power, the Democratic party has turned away from its ideology to put some mystery man named Barry/Barack Soertoro/Obama in power. And We the People have every right to reject him with or without a reason whether you find that reason acceptable to you or not.
What makes you think FDR is a hero? The stupidity and economic thoughtlessness he showed in his New Deal greatly prolonged the Depression, which meant that millions of poor people suffered for years longer than they would have. He was just another economic lefty who thought you could get out of a depression by taxing and spending. Big mistake. Oh, who’s this, just around the corner, about to try the same thing? Why, it would be….Curious George?
Jason..
Years ago I might have been angry at you since I’ve always considered myself an FDR liberal.
Now I have changed and can see the folly of raising taxes and pushing tariffs in an economic downturn
http://townhall.com/Columnists/DavidRStokes/2008/10/05/fdr_and_the_great_deflation
Man, you have not lived in Chicago. Come live here for a year and you will see that the left is equally repulsive and has committed similar offenses over the years.
I have a friend who was a gerontophile until he saw one of Perry’s videos. That cured him.
Perry, sometimes you really are a twit.
More Tolerant?
Stop living in the past.
Thats Democratic Party doesn’t exist right now.
They gave up all claim to the principles they believed in this election cycle.
The Obamacrat Party is about as Tolerant as Hitler’s was as he rose to power.
And you Perry are so lock step commited to believing the worst of the other side you can’t figure out whether to get off the fence and sell it all down the river or fight against it.
I don’t envy you at all in your confusion.
Perry, I have NO party affiliation…I am an independent thinker and voter…The biased garbage that you are spewing is the very problem that is wrong with our broken two-party government…Anyone that blindly follows ANY political party and spews hatred toward anyone that disagrees with them is simply a cultist…That’s right, just like the cultist Obots…You need to take a good long hard look at yourself in the mirror and you will see the stains left at the corners of your foul mouth from the Democratic Kool-Aid that you have been drinking, sir.
In short, you are no better than the Obots that you despise so much…The Republicans that spew their foul and ridiculous talking points about the Democrats are in the same class…That is the class of NO CLASS AT ALL!!!
Quit drinking the Kool-aid sir, get yourself deprogrammed and start thinking for yourself…I’ll bet that you will be a much happier camper…Independent, try it!!!!
Wow, you managed to cram just about every liberal myth of the last 8 years into one paragraph.
Not much of an achievement however - it’s almost a carbon copy of the exact same letter that liberals have been sending to their local newspapers obsessively throughout the entire Bush administration.
And further, the left certainly doesn’t nominate for the vice presidency someone who:
(1) Uses the inherent powers of her office to wage a personal vendetta against a former in-law, thus conflating a private family matter with public policy;
(2) Credits the personal blessing of an African witch doctor with her election as governor; and
(3) Winks at her TV audience in a faux-suggestive manner, like she’s a waitress at Hooter’s soliciting a 20% tip.
A faux-suggestive manner??
You should have watched the O’Reilly-Obama interview — Obama was flirting with O’Reilly so hard, flattering O’Reilly’s sporting skills, I thought he was going to ask him out — he was being completely flirty and seductive. It was sickening to watch…go look for yourself. What a joke — he will do anything to get elected — this is the Presidential candidate!! But he is the messiah so he gets a pass on this.
And her former in law had many citations for inappropriate behavior and used a tazer on his nine year old step son — wow — what a pillar of the community.
Go spread your tripe someplace else please.
Perry - I hate to break it to you, buddy. But -
“create and spread misogynistic lies about Hillary and Chelsea Clinton”
YOU DID
“rack up more debt than all previous Presidents combined”
YOU WILL
“cause the violent crime rate to go up”
YOU WILL
“insinuate corruption into every fiber of the body politic”
ARE YOU KIDDING ME???? YOU’RE DOING THIS RIGHT NOW!
Get off your sanctimonious soap box. Go preach to your New Democratic choir, where they’re still buying this bullshit.
Your comment was so astounishing in its mendacity and ignorance that one wonders if you make your living writing copy ofr extenz or if your just an associate at a sixth rate law firm, or perhaps just another sociology PHD candidate.
Given your many complaints wouldn’t you be well advised to seek greener pastures in a more honest country that is closer to your political inclinations, say Cuba.
Just one little comment on your spiel of lies about your god the democratic party- sounds like you are really into conspiracy!! Anyway my comment, since when did you democrats give a rats ass about the infant mortality rate? What a sick joke!! you are the pro-abortion party but you care about the infant mortality rate supposedly going up with George Bush- get real, you need to take a good long look at your own sick demented minds and the sick empty mind of your precious Obama- he voted against partial-birth abortion and leaving babies to die that survived abortion! Come on, welcome to the real world! I won’t comment on the other steaming heaps of crap but this one really caught my attention- Oh, we care so much about the infant!! My ass!!
Pathetic that people would treat a capable patriotic woman as you have outlined. More reason to vote for Mac and Palin. She is actually being discriminated against, unlike The Precious who pretends and fabricates discrimination. I hope Obama and his brownshirt trolls burn in hell for what they have done to Hillary, Palin and womenkind.
You are not alone Ani. So, you lose one friend and you gain another. Great post.
Obama can’t take what his campaign has been dishing out since the primaries. Sarah Palin’s comments are obviously hitting some soft-spots. And she’s a woman to boot! Their customary charge of “racism” which worked do well against the Clinton democrats are nothing to the republicans. Boy, is he going to be discombobulated soon.
Good News everybody McCain is up in Georgia… That Ayers stuff is really working. lol lol lol lol lol.

What does this have to do with the topic ofthis post?
Nada, zilch, zippo and the MSM and polls are all rigged so meaningless to boot! Those numbers are supposed to demoralize us and make us give up. Put in context they only further our resolve to fight on for Mac!
I doubt you were saying that a month ago. But hey No Quarter is the Twilight Zone. Just make it up as you go.
Be kind. Obots have severe reading comprehension problems.
We take after our hero Sayrah. lol lol
God you are a moron. These polls were done PRIOR to the Ayers story. Plus, if you actually knew how to read the polls you would see that they are oversampling AAs & Dems in general. Now, go study for your mid-terms.
Oversampling AKA rigged!
Yeah you’re right. I’m sure Sayrah’s comments will make an 8 point diff in the polls. What could I have possibly been thinking. Oh.. and Sayrah is the biggest idiot VP ever. Only a true moron would suggest otherwise. But blame her stupidity on the media… easy out for you sheep.
Truly, why must you come here and be so vile?
I would never dream of going to an Obama website and behaving this way.
Why would you want to instigate this?
This post is not even discussing poll numbers or who is winning.
What’s more vile? To suggest that Palin truly is ignorant (as she’s proven over and over again) or that Obama is Hitler, or the Anti-christ etc. etc. etc.
Well, it is vile because it is not true that she is ignorant. Sexism rears its ugly head again at Camp Hopey/Changey.
What makes you think Sarah Palin is ignorant? She is an extremely intelligent woman. Just because she has views different from yours does not make her ignorant. If she were ignorant, she would not have been elected Mayor of Wasilla, nor Governor of Alaska, nor all her other accomplishments.
It must gall you that a woman has achieved more in her lifetime than you have in yours.
Your candidate of choice is not as intelligent as he makes himself out to be. He is a good orator, but if you really listen to what he is saying you would discover that he isn’t saying anything. He speaks in double speak.
Your candidate of choice invokes in me the same feelings I had of George W. Bush - I didn’t/don’t like him and I definitely didn’t/don’t trust him. My feelings about Bush were proven correct and I know they will be proven correct on Obama.
You think this administration sold us out? Wait and see what will happen if your candidate gets elected. God help us all.
Ani, if you went to one of the Obama websites, you would be banned as I have been and I am sure others posting here have been. It appears on a lot of their websites that unless you support The Lucifer, then you can’t post on them.
I’m sure you would never dream of behaving this way on an Obama website, until it came to Smart, sexy, accomplished Sarah Palin, then the true colors come out- you self righteous, Obomber fondlers, You can put lipstick on a bigot, self righteous, air head, pig, and its still a terrorist running for president! OOPS - did Obomber really say that lipstick-pig comment? O but he meant it in a good-hearted, mature way!!My ass, you wouldn’t behave like this!!!
What part of oversampling do you not understand? What part of those polls were done a week ago, don’t you understand?
You think Palin is dumb? Guess what, she is practically Einstein compared to BO — I bet she knows how many states are in the USA & I bet she knows that the US didn’t liberate Aushchwitz. You might not like what she says (heck, I don’t agree on half her policies) but at least she says what she means the first time & doesn’t have to have everyone explain “what she meant to say” for 3 days after she says it (”an undivided Israel” or “NO preconditions” ring any bells?). Also, Palin hasn’t told me that she will vote against something & then turn around & vote for it (FISA). The fact is the guy you have put all your pre-pubescent hopes in has no redeeming value other then “not being the other guy/gal.” BO is the biggest idiot presidential candidate EVAH. The man needs a teleprompter with him in town halls because he can’t string a sentence together without twenty “uhs” thrown in there on his own. The fact that you yourself compare him to the VP candidate on the other ticket shows how unqualified of a candidate he is. Never in the history of presidential elections has the top of one ticket been compared with the second spot on the other — know why? Because BO can’t compare to McCain, so you, and the msm, don’t eve try!
Unlike you, this isn’t my first time at the rodeo. I remember how the msm fawned all over W. & lied about Gore & Kerry to propel him twice to the White House. And I can see the same fawning by them over BO now and I’m smart enough to know — if the media loves your candidate you are on the wrong side.
Angie… you were mentally deranged in the rodeo. MSM NEVER loved Bush. Irrelevant.. you’re blinded by the light. No matter, I think Palin is vastly more qualified than Hillary anyway. She can see Russia from her porch, she reads anything she can get her hands on (only she can’t remember any of them), she’s met all those foreign leaders (in one day no less), and she really knows how to duck a question. Palin in 2012, go SAYRAHHH!!
OBAMA: 57 states of American, Great Lakes in Oregon, My Muslim Faith, I Pushed The Wrong Button. My Banking Committee, He/She’s not the _____________I’ve known, I didn’t know Ayers was a Weatherman Terrorist………
Poor McBush..
You are a pacifist and a wimp.
I’m just glad that people like you have no effect on this nations foreign policy.
“She can see Russia from her porch”.
The distance between Russia and the US through the Bering Strait is only 58 miles.
I don’t see what the problem is….
I can see Canada from one of my front porches.
actually she said one could se Russia from an island off alaska. that was in an interview.
It is only 3 miles from Big Diomede Island (Russia) from Little Diomede Island (Alaska). She was right.
Yeah, there used to be military people there, and they told us that on clear days, they’d wave to the Russian soldiers on the other island.
Also, there was a man, who after having had a bit too much to drink, walked to Russia over the Arctic Ocean. That was in about ‘85 or ‘86, when we lived up there. It was still the USSR, and it created a bit of an incident.
Outstanding Seattle in Johnny Mac’s admin you could his ambassador to Canada. lol
I think your first priority wussy should be learning to speak English correctly.

Gee, media polls are sooo accurate, aren’t they?
I wonder if the knome who posted these polls know that Obama is following in John Kerry’s footsteps from four years ago? I wonder if he/she/it knows that John Kerry lost the 2004 general election in spite of being ahead of GWB in virtually every MSM-generated poll between the Dem convention and Election Day?
Thank you Ani.
I want the bumper sticker I saw in rural Washington — Palin for VP!
Palin IS a feminist — and now I have questions about some of the so called liberal “feminists” — some of these women are being so damned nasty toward a woman who happens to be a Republican.
I don’t have a tv — but I did have access to a fast Internet connection and I’ve been able to view the Thursday night debate.
What Palin did was superb.
The younger generation IS paying attention to Palin, thanks to her ability handle tough questions and stand up to Biden.
I could not agree with you more Ani. Mind boggling to behold the the dark side of humanity being given overt approval. The intruments of a requiem are being conducted by a baton of indifference.
What is this I hear? Is it the sound of a lone outcast flute?
Ani
If I may paraphrase a friend, Shtue,
“Oh. Don’t hold back now. Tell us how you really feel.”
I am glad you wrote this. Some people have no natural way of understanding the complexity of your pain and anger until you simply, in unchained words, tell them.
Thank you for sharing a “feeling” that I have had a hard time explaining to other men.
