This lady is gross

I just want to say that Sarah Palin has the kind of hard, closed face and erotically null "beauty" of one of those creepy "dirty housewife" posters on amateur porn sites. She also seems full of a certain kind of stone-cold ruthlessness and resentment particular to certain women.

Someone has some unresolved issues to attend to...in fact, I notice a lot of supposed enlightened Obama fans who, since the primaries, spout the most inane sexist tripe I have ever heard...they feel free to spout this verbal diahhrea unabashedly, all the while condemning and attacking anyone who dares criticize Obama as a racist.

her speech was sneering and self-satisfying. it will be a huge hit with the gop base -and i expect mccain/palin to be up by 8-10 points in most polls by early next week. but drip, drip, drip - the flop sweat is there. look for it. be patient.

Hmmm...is it me or is it the fact that Obama's fan club is attacking her and Mack relentlessly mean they are full of flop sweat? A little bit of history for the overly complacent, smug, snot-nosed crowd: as Dems act more snide and obnoxious, it has the opposite effect on most voters beyond the college campuses, the latte counters and the urban centers where Obama has garnered his cult following. As a CNN commentator pointed out, George Bush didn't win in 2000 or 2004 because of the type of base Obama or Gore or Kerry had...he won among all the small towns Obama's fans love to label as hick and bitter and backward and antediluvian. Sarah Palin has shored up that winning base for Mack bigtime...the media and the liberal blogs unwittingly have sealed Obama's fate in just a few days...if they had shut their mouths, maybe Ms. Palin would have hoisted herself on her own petard and proven that she is just a right wing whacko...that didn't happen. Since they didn't, they have blowback to deal with, and most Repubs are itching for a fight...McCain had an uneasy relationship with the Republican base, but the press' and liberal bloggers' attacks only managed to galvanize an otherwise dispirited Repub core...liberals laugh at her proclamations and slams against Obama, but remember how much everyone thought Reagan (god help us) was a joke, as well as Dan Quayle...they both went on to winning tickets...we very well may have seen the exact day when the Obama campaign was done in.

Sarah Palin is a liar

Say it with me kids, over and over. Sarah Palin got up on stage tonight and looked straight into the camera and lied. Several times. She didn't embellish, or exaggerate, or use hyperbole. She lied. And we cannot let get away with it.

She is a liar.

-- Number Six

I guess that means that Obama is also in the same boat...many times over...

Only to very insecure men...where do you come up with this idiotic idea, Kamiya?

What did Salon do before it had Sarah Palin to obsess about???

McCain/Bush!

-- prytania

Laughable, isn't it?

I do not support Mack, but the attacks on Palin are so out-there and show America is still comfortable with misogynistic cant...can you imagine equally offensive images of Obama touted as explanations for his appeal? INSANE!

...the more support she garners:

This article is sooooo offensive--and I am anti-Palin!

Please take this article down--the image and headline alone are offensive enough--I can't bring myself to read the article.

What are you editors thinking! This is just sexist, putting women who nows how many steps back. Do not sexualize women in order to criticize them.

Note: I am a solid Obama/Biden supporter

I wholeheartedly agree...one can object vociferously to this article and its premise without supporting Palin...it says more about Kamiya's mindset than anything about Palin.

You know who this article really helps?

Palin.

It is exactly what she needs to claim the liberal blogosphere is sexist.

What on earth is Joan thinking by allowing this to be published?

Shame on you, Joan Walsh!

-- AKA Smith

During the primaries the liberal blogs showed they can be every bit as callous in their misogyny as the right wing.

I have always taken Joan Walsh at her word . . . until this.

I am not even an Obama supporter. I am a Cynthia McKinney supporter, but for the first time I am actually wondering if Salon really wants to see Obama win.

Nothing is worth this destructive crap.

-- AKA Smith

I also have backed McKinney, and this makes me want to more...I was leaning back to Obama, but if his side, which has been gender tone-deaf all along, continue garbage like this, I am sticking with Cynthia!

So, Gar

Where's the photoshop of Obama as lawn jockey?

You are disgusting. Simply disgusting. And you simply don't know when to shut up, do you?

-- KateTex

EXACTLY...if something of that nature was posted about Obama, Kamiya and the creator of the picture would be on the street pronto, as they rightfully should be.

I'll be voting and supporting Obama regardless of the crap you publish, but if Obama loses, I'll put part of the blame on the hysterical and offensive response to Palin on the part of the likes of Salon and HuffPo.

Stop making her look better than you, please.

-- bugman

Why is it that liberals feel it is OK to roll around in the pigsty with the Repubs? Sinking to their level to win? Hardly how it's going to get done...it merely makes liberals look like the hypocrites some on the right have claimed we are all along...
