The dominatrix

Sarah Palin is trying to seduce independent voters. But she comes across like a whip-wielding mistress who wants to discipline a naughty America.

    Who needs Karl Rove when we've got Gary Kamiya

    This is the kind of reporting from the "Liberal" media that put the Hillary supporters off...and it's just the kind of thing to make them defend, if not support Palin. Why can't our liberal countryMEN get that sexism damages everyone? Deeper still that the Dems cannot claim the moral high road on human rights until they get that women are human. Nobody (left or right) would sexually stereotype Obama...it would be called racist to the max.

    At the heart of this ridiculous article is the issue that may cost the dems the election unless someone like Obama or Biden steps up and calls it out. Women rail against misogyny and are told we have no sense of humor. We tried to call it out during the Primary and the media called it "whining." Obama wasn't "whining" over the New Yorker cover. Even McCain defended him. Hell, we don't need Karl Rove to orchestrate the democratic defeat, we've got "progressive" male democrats on that path.

    I'm a Clinton supporter for Obama, lifetime Democrat, and I have to spend my time defending the human rights of a right-wing ideologue because (once again) the progressive males of my party can't keep it in their pants and keep focused on issues crucial for the survival of the country and the planet.

    Argh, I have to get off the computer.
