The more talk about Palin, the less about the issues, about Bush's record, about the problems that ordinary Americans face. Typical Republican strategy - distract, distract, distract. Palin doesn't matter - whether she's a babe, a mother, a dominatrix. What matters is getting Obama elected.
Seriously, people - the outrage displayed by my fellow liberals on this letter thread feeds into the stereotype of the Left being comprised on nilly-willy pansies who get offended by the slightest thing.
Michael Savage, Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh smear progressive politicians and their supporters constantly and to a much worse extent than Gary's article.
And I would not doubt it if Freepers were passing around photoshopped pics of Obama as a house slave / Mr. Sambo minstrel show caricature within their circle for shits & giggles...
So please, everyone - unbunch your panties and allow yourself to have a laugh at the necon Jeebus fundie who judges other people for their choices...but lets her preggers teen daughter off the hook.
I'm guessing Gary never needs a pencil because he's already packing one.
What a nasty little man. Please keep up the misogynistic attacks on Palin. The more you little twerps attack her, the better she'll do in the polls.
meanwhile, back in the real world, if you had done a reasonable job of vetting Obama, Hillary Clinton would be the nominee and the republicans would be headed to political Siberia.
Oh well, there's always '12.
This Rush Limbaugh-style name calling hysteria doesn't help. Stop.
As a Chicagoan, I must protest the characterization of the bondage and domination community as located only in "some parts of San Francisco and New York." Is the author unaware of the National Mr. Leather competition, which takes place right here in The City of The Big Shoulders? Not to mention the thriving local dominatrix industry, which stretches back to the days of the fabled Everleigh Club (where the heir to the Marshall Field department store fortune is said to have expired from excess excitement during a session with one of Ms. Palin's 19th century predecessors). And if you need further evidence of the robust presence of pathological masochism here in the heatrland, I offer to you the fan base of The Chicago Cubs.
has over 1100 comments on the WP article (Palin's possibly naughty billings) as of this moment, compared to ca. 350 for this article...and y'all are worried that Salon is going to influence anybody? P.S. - Gary, you might consider submitting (haha) to 23/6.
Simple. Ms. Palin is being pimped by the same group who has pimped the entire country. Gary, you're so observant: Control through domination. The metaphor is appropriate.
that the U.S. isn't the only place with laughable politicians - this from the Huffpost -
BANGKOK, Thailand — Thailand's prime minister was forced out of office Tuesday along with his Cabinet after a court ruled that he had broken a conflict-of-interest law by hosting TV cooking shows.
I know we are supposed to stay on-topic but what are we conservatives to do when we want to talk about Obama and all Salon's columists will address is Sarah Palin.
I love Sarah Palin and I hardly know her! Many of you hardly know her and you hate her--hmmm, I guess you are not your father's and mother's liberals. But if you would like to love her too, or at least hate her a bit less, go to Newsweek's website and see the fact checking they have done on her. Turns out that many of those horror stories about her stem from an email written by someone who admittedly hates her and who--in their DanRatheresque way, MSM journalists like Soledad O'brien and others took and spread as fact--are not true.
But, please, Salon, lets talk about Obama and why he is so well-qualified to be Prez while John and Sarah are not. And lets talk about Obama's concession that the surge worked (he was wrong) and the Dem Congress's decision that maybe we should drill (they were wrong) and Biden's view that life begins at conception but its still okay to take that life and, well, you know, ISSUES!
Conservatives want to discuss issues and the left just puts pictures of accomplished female politicians (remember she is a governor) in dominatrix clothing. Imagine what the MSM would do if National Review did the same with a pic of Michigan's atractive Dem Guv Granholm.
As many thoughtful liberals who post here are beginning to realize, the left is losing it--in more ways than one.
Really, Salon, Mr. Kamiya, this is too much.
So tacky and inappropriate.
Sarah Palin challenges the feminist mold, therefore Mr. Kamiya used his imagination to defile her image with pornographic metaphors. I am sorry that the writer's soul and upbringing allow him to produce this sorry bit. I am glad it is published however. This article demonstrates the simple guideposts established daily by the Left. If you do not think like they think, do not go where they go, do not purchase what they sell, do not raise your young in their schools. do not exposed your spirit in an unguarded state to their evil.you can have a decent life. Navigate in constant opposition those who would defile anything that challenges their narcissism.
"Sarah Palin is trying to seduce independent voters. But she comes across like a whip-wielding mistress who wants to discipline a naughty America"
More like a naughty McCain than America. He is obviously becoming so obsessed with Ailin' Palin that he doesn't want to be photographed standing next to her with his eyes glued to her rear end and twisting his wedding ring. He is a disgusting, dirty old man.
No wonder this dominatarix is trying to seduce male voters. THAT'S how you get their votes!!!!! Throw a little teasing sex their way and man are they on board! Forget the issues. Forget four more years of disaster. Let's have four years of fun with Palin. Who cares if she doesn't have a moral bone in her body or a worthwhile thought in her head.
I'm an Independent voter. She sure is working my mojo.
Their campaign should be rated X.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
Fox News' morning show plays to type, talking about whether Muslims in the Army should face "special debriefings"
The survivor and author is upset about comparisons some on the right are making to genocide
Once seen as a lunatic fringe, reactionary anti-women groups are courting respectability
