The McCain Campaign is doing a masterful job of keeping Sarah Palin away from any big-time probing interviews with the adult media, after her one tentative foray with Charles Gibson. Does the GOP expect the American people to buy "a pig in a poke" -- with or without lipstick?
Here is a fine example of the tolerance of "progressives" (or in simple English, "liberals"):
"Can we knock Sarah off the front page for a while?
I hate her as much as the next progressive, and her deception needs scrutiny. . .
And some of us are experiencing Palin Fatigue Syndrome.
-- talkslowly"
Nice! Now that we've established that this piece of work is filled with hate, it is time for liberals to admit that the true hate is coming from the left, and always has. The left talks about "tolerance" and "getting along" with others, but the truth is that they only tolerate and get along with those whom agree with them politically. This guy "hates" Sarah Palin. He "hates" her! Well, that's progressive thought, isn't it?
Mr. Stein was the incumbent mayor (three successive tenures?) when Sarah Palin ousted him. That's what this article boils down to and it reeks of resentment.
The problem with the right wing nuts is they believe the law ends in Christ, and then use that to justify their own disobedience of law based on their personal interpretation of Christ. It is little more than Anarchy and you see it pervasively among the so called GOP conservatives who cling to the religious right ideals ( not principles ) These people are certainly not acting according to law, nor are they acting in a Christian manner. One must then ask, "who do they serve"? Most often and clearly in the case of Sarah Palin, they serve themselves. Classic GOP.
How can anyone be surprised at her 'meanness'. A woman that condones the cruel murdering of wolves by helicopter, including the removal of wolf pups from their den and shooting them in the head, ain't my idea of Mother THeresa. As far as politics, yes, I can see the mean streak in her. She is a talking Barbie head who got where she is by playing oil politics. Apparently Alaska has had such corrupt politicians that she was a step up? Doesn't say much for Alaska politics but does explain why she doesn't know much of anything else. And frankly, I am sick and tired of hearing about her. So please, send her back to Alaska and let them deal with her. Unfortunately, her taste for fame, fortune and power has probably kicked in by now, so she may have a hard time returning to her state.
Ma is the mother, of course, and generally the recipient of a child's complaints.
Sara Palin is not worth it. The McCain team won't let her talk to the press, proving she is NOT a strong, smart person. The press should just ignore her. Don't cover her at all and pretend she does not exist.
The wolf is a predator that tears the throats out of sheep, lambs and other timid beasts. Where food resources are scarce wolves have been exterminated by those relying on agriculture for a living and huge dogs were bred to tackle the rapacious wolf. Traps have also been used and these can cause a slow and agonising death so a bullet from a sharpshooter is a far more humane way to keep these wild animals at bay.
The "fly in the ointment" of your argument is that there are creatures that are the enemy of humans, animals which will not socialise with humans as dogs and cats do; maybe you're mad about alligators, crazy about crocodiles and rave about rats but I don't know if that's so. If you're a vegetarian you are true to your principles and, if a vegan, even more so.
...because these articles about Palin all sound like the nasty gossip flying between the hair dryers at the local parlor.
Look, I love the real insight and analysis by folks like Paglia, but this crap is just useless. I mean, gosh Mr. Journalist, it must have been hard to find someone in a small town who wanted to say something bad about the mayor. The *really* surprising part is how it came from the ex-mayor that she beat in an election!! Wow - you're the next Woodward *and* Bernstein!
Palin is neither the Anit-Chirst nor the Savior - she's just another politician. One with some pretty good wattage as a celebrity-politician...just like Barry-O.
And really that's why McCain picked her.
I am no fan of Sarah Palin, and I am actually terrified of her becoming president if McCain wins and then passes (god forbid). I also think there were many enlightening points in this article, including the fact that the "corrupt" officials she ousted are still involved in Alaska politics. But why on earth is this cast under the light "Mean Girls"? This is called dirty politics ... taking the support of leaders then they are popular and distancing yourself when they are unpopular. It happens everywhere and all the time. Politicians have often battled the people who helped build them when it becomes politcally expedient. Many so-called "reformers" have reformed very little in actuality. Palin fits this mold exactly. So, why is it important that she is a woman doing this? Why utilize the catty image of youg girls battling? Perhaps there is something to this claim of sexism.
delusional about something or other. And Palin is a carbon copy of the right wing's wet dream.
I'm as anti-Palin as the next person. And I think she deserves whatever comes her way in terms of criticism. And nothing bugs me more than her empty cries as a victim of sexism. But "Mean Girl" as the title of an article about her? Come on...Nothing in this article had anything to do with Palin being a female - it was all about the conniving, opportunist politician she is. Keep up those kinds of empty headlines and you play right into their hands. The article only shows that she does what men have been doing for centuries. There is nothing particularly "mean" or "girlish" about it. It's just lame. She sucks. Now let's get on with the business of making sure she doesn't get elected.
