Is that like a smart Obot?

Yes, captivated them. They can’t stop thinking about her.

I can only wonder what women like Katrina vanden Heuvel think when they sign on to a book that is designed to mock Palin (Going Rouge). Is this what is means to be a good obedient progressive?

Also I find it revealing that you claim to disapprove of the sexism directed at Palin while swallowing the whole “intellectual lightweight idiot bimbo” tale whole. Have you ever investigated her actual beliefs and actions or just listened to the media tear her apart while believing all of it and clucking your tongue disapprovingly?

When you respond to a filthy storm of personal attack like what she’s been subjected to with a tepid “yes but,” it’s like replying to a rape with faux outrage followed by an “innocent” question about what she had been drinking. You’re looking for an excuse why of’s okay, or at least not worth the outrage of when a “worthy” woman is attacked.

I don’t necessarily support Palin but I like her better than I would if I were just listening to mainstream media. Look beyond her personal views on abortion and look at what she has actually done. I have. And so far it seems to me that she is one of the few politicians to have the guts to actually go against her own party and work with the Democrats (until after she was tapped for VP and the Dems got word not to work with her anymore).

Funny.

If that’s the case, than you really should change the name “a voice for a small minority of women” since the majority of women don’t support Palin.

I DID afterall agree with the author’s premise that Newsweek’s choice of photo was sexist.

Is Sarah, or are you for that matter, so sensitive you can’t face a bit of criticism? A different female perspective?

That’s not my idea feminine strength.

I have no doubt it was. Can you imagine the orgy of vicious, bilious, evil GLEE that will ensue if that poor kid gets hurt over there?

For me, the running shorts weren’t the problem. She runs. But why post a leggy, sexy picture of a woman when you want to humiliate her and call her a problem?

Is punishing women and fucking women the same thing in many men’s minds? Hell, many women’s minds?

Rhetorical question. I already know the answer, and it enrages me. I keep coming back to it, but all this “pornulation is empoweriffic” garbage that the let-wing has been spewing for the past twenty years is a bunch of horseshit.

Geez, looks like Newsweek actually hit on the perfect headline. Fuuny when sarcasm backfires!

Bravo! For an excellently put article.

As for male politicians being on the front cover with running shorts – I think Mike Huckabee has (he is a runner too). Obama has been featured “shirtless”. Both, however, were depicted in a postitive light, instead of trying to make fun of them. The picture of Sarah in her running outfit was so out of context even for their sexist caption, all it did was make Newsweek look bad and lazy (photoshop anyone?).

I have also been paying attention to some of the op-ed pieces circulating regarding a Palin 2012 run. While the media is vetting her pretty hard, the current administration keeps digging a hole regarding women. This could be an interesting next few years!
