I like your response better. But really, aren't they just ALMOST too easy to bother?

Palin has, since the beginning of her national exposure as a potential VP in the 2008 election, been an opponent to the First Amendment. She has advocated that the media be prohibited from saying negative things about people in the public eye - especially her.

The threats to go after those media outlets that continue to look into her terms as Mayor of Wasilla and Governor of Alaska shouldn't come as a surprise. It is par for the course that she would call in her dogs (apparently her lawyer of record deals primarily in personal injury and medical malpractice cases - which I think is rather taking the "Lame Duck" thing a bit far) as threatening to sue is the American Way these days.

All is forgiven -- as long as you go misogynize yourself.

Your valiant protection of my honor? Thanks but no thanks.

Signed,

A Real Woman

I was just being charitable. Just consider her evil, if you like. George Washington, she ain't, that's for sure.

"They" meaning conservatives. Tho I suppose it could refer to responses as well.

"Would that David Letterman filed a defamation suit for the pedophile allegations."

Not clear on what you are saying. But what I think you're trying to say doesn't ring true. Proof please.

Point taken, I think! On the other hand, mental illness didn't stop Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jim Jones, or Dan White from finding gainful employment (not to mention plenty of followers and fans) in the Golden State!

virtue001: "I'm afraid the "verdict" is only your own "verdict," my friend."

Actually, I brought in a panel of experts. But yeah, it's my verdict, based on my reasoning, which was supplied in my message, and which you did not address.

virtue001: "I have given you some pretty darn good examples of the misogyny expressed by Salon in the past. But if you choose to ignore them or, worst yet, defend them, well that's fine with me."

I obviously didn't ignore them, as I responded to each of them in the message to which you're replying.

Flein vs Abrams, Abrams would screw Flein in ground, the way it should be. Ok I was not going to attack Palin, but now she walked over that line, grit your teeth witch, and bleep and bleep you Toddy, what's it like to be married to a bitch, and a witch, educate me you simple bleep. Did not Flein defend Exxon Mobil? I'd like to see Flein and Abrams go to it in court. McCain how do you like your running mate now, dick? Screw the Palins, the little dirty life sucking assholes and oxygen theif's. Attack msnbc? The Palins are outatouch. Hope your son in his big striker unit comes back to you as a big babbleing idiot. I'd be suprisized if they would let him leave the base camp. Bleep Alaska Palin, and your oil, gag on your oil dip. I's Palins son a mechanic or cook, certinly not line dog infantry.

How exactly do I "misogynize" myself? Sounds icky.

My wife has been the victim of misogyny throughout her career. The depths of which are deplorable. This is probably the only reason I am so aware of the depths of misogyny practiced regularly against Palin by the editorial staff of Salon. If you have any doubt, I would steer you to the previous Salon posts I have mentioned before:

Gary Kamiya depicts Palin as a dominatrix here:

Cintra Wilson calls Palin a fuckable Christian Stepford wife here:

Tracy Clark-Flory on the Salon "broadsheet” posts "Sneak Peek: The Palin Porno" here:

Hope you enjoyed the holiday:)

Sorry but I don't know what you're talking about! Keep plugging away though!

Virtue001 is quite fond of repetition without substance. On page 6 of this message thread, you can read my detailed explanation for why each of his examples of "misogyny" are bogus. Note that virtue001 as much as admitted he was unable to respond to my arguments.

And I toast your right to express your opinion in this free society called America on this very special 4th of July weekend. I don't think you are a bad egg, my friend. And I would defend your right to express your opinions with my life. In fact, I already did that back in 'Nam. Please enjoy what's left of what been a holiday blessed by beautiful weather in my neck of the woods. God bless.

She's Stillson, folks.

You don't have to lower yourself to take money from people who aren't good enough to open the door for you at your multimillion-dollar high-rise condo overlooking the Bay; didn't the mayor just shell out 22 million for a condo? It would be cheap at twice the price! If you want to live in the greatest place on earth you have to pay to play! And remember, they need you more than you need them!

After seeing her resignation speech, does anyone still believe that Trig is the retarded one in the Palin family?

Will that get me sued?

"Knocked Up" is a witty little axiom that generally denotes being made pregnant without the benefit of wedlock, as in...you know...Bristol Palin being knocked up by Levi Johnston prior to being paraded on stage at the 2008 Republican National Convention.

Obviously, since there was a clear reference point for anyone above auto-mnemonic levels of awareness, Mr. Letterman was alluding to Bristol, and not the underage Willow, who still lives under the Palin's somewhat loose (if previous events can be relied upon) supervision.

Even though Bristol was indeed "knocked up" while living at home and sadly, underaged prior to high school graduation, Mr. Letterman's salty aside about a certain overpaid professional baseball player impregnating a Palin daughter was too juicy a target for the Wasilla brain trust to let go, considering the devastating spot on nature of the joke.

To mask their deserved embarrassment, a what they thought was an oh-so-subtle campaign to smear Mr. Letterman was promulgated by the Palin camp.

"...plus, it would be wise to keep Willow away from David Letterman" came an ominous response to an invitation from the Letterman Show for the Quitter to appear thereon as an olive branch.

As Bob Dylan famously sang, "You don't need a weatherman..."

At worst, this is blatant accusation of pedophilia directed at Mr. Letterman. At best, it's a subtle accusation of pedophilia directed at Mr. Letterman.

This woman and her handlers are diaphanous frauds, and of course, too clever by half.

Yet, there are some that still love her so.
