Comments on: HUFFPO: Why the Palin “Hate Affair” Will Backfire http://www.thenewagenda.net/2009/11/21/huffpo-why-the-palin-hate-affair-will-backfire/ Sat, 11 Feb 2012 00:38:29 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: JP http://www.thenewagenda.net/2009/11/21/huffpo-why-the-palin-hate-affair-will-backfire/comment-page-1/#comment-32248 JP Sat, 21 Nov 2009 21:55:03 +0000 http://thenewagenda.net/?p=16173#comment-32248 My, my Huffpo huh? I'm not sure, but is this the first time? In any case, congratulations to The New Agenda for getting this up there. But just a word of caution, since they have been awfully biased against Sarah Palin (and Hillary Clinton for that matter): at the end of the article you warn about a "sympathy vote" for Sarah. They might be "telling" this to their readers so that they harden their views against any sympathy for a woman who is attacked with misogyny. Sorry to be this cynical, but the primaries and the GE opened my eyes. I could be wrong, but it's better to keep eyes open. If they have an agenda, it will emerge. And right now there is a strong push to make Sarah look like a "whiner" and a "liar". My, my Huffpo huh? I’m not sure, but is this the first time?

The women who collude with the misogynist liberal Democrats and Media are just women who have carved a niche for themselves in the patriarchy and aren't about to give it up. They are not friends of women voters or media consumers. We should not look to them for leadership in changing the misogynist culture they enjoy. I still wonder about how these liberal Democrats and Media don't see how extremely off and arrogant and ignorant they appear to everyone outside their select group. I guess they don't care what the majority think of them since they are so above us, however they still need us to vote for their candidates (not going to happen) and tune in to their channels.

Add in the sexism and the class derision. Palin's cheerful defiance resonates very well with women who have had to ignore everything thrown in their way. She doesn't need an election to be in a battle - look at the last week. Hence, she emerges as a persistent combatant - a stance that only deepens her ties to many Americans who believe themselves to be fighting back in a increasingly harsh country.
