Joan, you’ve claimed -- "She (Palin) endeared herself to the Republican base by playing the 'liberal media victim card." If that is indeed the case, then as “Editor-in-Chief” and as a "feminist" and as a “journalist” -- how do you reconcile Salon's blatant misogyny against Sarah Palin in the articles I've listed below?

Gary Kamiya has depicted and made reference to Palin as a “dominatrix” and called her a "pinup queen" and "babaliciousness" as well. He has also stated that her “whip-wielding persona was a turn-on” and that her convention address gave the partisan crowd a "collective woody." Not to mention the fact that he also asked: “Hey, did you check out Palin's rack?” Go here for verification:

Cintra Wilson called Palin a “fuckable Christian Stepford wife” in a “sexy librarian costume" who Republicans saw as a "hard-core pornographic centerfold spread." Go here for verification:

Finally, Tracy Clark-Flory posted "Sneak Peek: The Palin Porno" on Salon’s Broadsheet page. It’s a clip from a porno video made by Hustler Magazine’s Larry Flynt, using a Palin look alike. Go here for verification:

Any thoughts this time, Joan? I mean, as “Editor-in-Chief,” isn’t it as simple as issuing a zero tolerance policy on misogyny to the Salon staff and the freelance writers you employ? And isn’t “the buck stops here” something implicit in your title? Have or no explanation? No shame? Or are you really Salon's Misogynist-in-Chief? I look forward to your response (and not a deletion of my post this time).

Salon isn't "blatantly misogynist." All those words you list are used in a snarky way. You don't grasp irony very well, do you?
