  Salon: You Have Officially Lost Your Minds

  Truly, you have lost your minds.

  After month, after month, after month of having to listen to Joan Walsh whine, and moan, about how ANY criticism of Hillary was sexism -- and watching her jump on the Rev. Wright-bashing and the Obama is an elitist nonsense -- now, at a pivotal time in the election, with the appearance of the "Trojan Moose," WHAT do we get from Salon?

  THIS????

  First of all, Joan Walsh, you would have NEVER done this to Hillary, and while I despise Sarah Palin with every cell of my being, your publishing this is utter and total hypocrisy.

  If this sort of sexist crap had been published about Hillary, we'd have been treated to one of Joan's lengthy, pained pro-Hillary diatribes, and probably one of those pained expression videos to go along with it, condemning the offending sexists in no uncertain terms.

  As for Gary -- I expect a lot more than this from you based on your past writing, but this is an embarrassment. The way you've written it, it sure sounds like YOU are the one with the sicko masochistic fantasies about Palin, and you know what...that's pathetic. So you, and what, a couple of million Joe Nascars, are all having Sarah Palin wet dreams? What does that say about you?

  This article is going to be linked to, and pointed to, as an example of how perverted, disgusting, and sexist the liberal media is.

  What are you going to say on Hardball, Joan, when they show that Palin dominatrix graphic and ask you why you published this?

  How are you going to defend it, Joan? After all your bashing of Obama for legitimate political arguments that you wrote off as sexism. Here, you have straight out, unequivocal sexism, and it's perpetrated by YOUR magazine.

  Just pathetic...utterly and truly pathetic.

  I just can't believe that THIS is Salon's big effort to help get Obama elected. I've been waiting to see if Salon was going to do anything to elevate the discourse, or contribute to the situation.

  And I can see that it's hopeless. You've all joined the Palin Bandwagon, just like your fellow slavering idiots in the media, and this is what we're going to get until the election. It was all Hillary all the time for almost a year -- then we had what, the 2 weeks around the Dem convention when you actually covered Obama -- and now, it's going to be All Palin All the Time, right?

  Why don't you just freakin stick up the McCain/Palin banner ads on every page of Salon, and write your checks to the RNC and call it a day, Salon, because you couldn't have done a better job of turning OFF possible voters from the progressive, liberal view than putting this total piece of crap article, and Kamiya's ridiculous Photoshop wetdream, up there.

  I am truly, officially, and utterly embarrassed to be a Salon subscriber.

  If you thought that anything Salon was going to say or do in the next few weeks would make a difference, you've pretty much guaranteed that anyone from the right or the center will disregard Salon as a site that is NOT for serious thinking or writing -- just nonsense and sexist smut.

  THANKS A LOT -- FOR A BIG FAT FREAKING NOTHING, SALON...
