Sarah Palin and Pretty, Experience Talk
MoJo Blog Posts: mojo — Stepping back from the "feminist for life," NRA-lifer, creationist, global-warming skeptic VP credentials for a sec, a few things are really annoying me about the Sarah Palin coverage. She's a woman, she's pretty, she's a mom with a gaggle of kids, and she's as green as DC politics gets. Though why do these descriptors get listed out as if they're stacked arguments toward the same end? Mitt Romney is pretty and has five kids, but if he had gotten the nom we wouldn't be referring to him as a looker with familial ...

The Crackpiper Chronicles with Scott St. Clair - Part 4
HorsesAss.Org — ... the Hockey Mom in Everyone Crackpiper’s latest effort in Crosscut is extraordinary. It’s jaw dropping. But it does give some excellent insight into why Sarah Palin was picked to be on the ticket. Palin is a true believer in the things that make wingnuttia what it is. She’s anti-choice.

And she can be a massive hypocrite without ...

Problem Palin
culturekitchen - fresh dissent served daily — ... her ex-brother-in-law from his job as a state trooper. When it became public, she lied about it. As governor, she fired the state’s chief of police when he wouldn’t go along with her plan to fire her ex-brother-in-law. When it became public, she lied about it. Oh, and she opposes birth control, even for married couples, and she opposes abortion, even in the case of rape or incest. She doesn’t believe in global warming, and she wants to teach creationism in our schools. Again, typical corrupt, lying ...

Sarah Palin and the Know Nothings
BuzzFlash.org - Progressive News and Commentary with an Attitude | Fight Ignorance: Read BuzzFlash — ... . She wants schools to teach children creationism . She's anti-science. Long story short: Palin is not satisfied with simply stemming the tide of her own informational intake. She wants to remove educational opportunities for America's children as well. And the way she drags her school-aged children around the campaign trail doesn't inspire much confidence in her educational values either. There are plenty of happy, ignorant people in this country. But the fact that we have to reach back to the mid-19th century to find a party that embraced ignorance to the degree that we see ...
