There’s Nothing Like Starting a Monday Off By Laughing at Drowned Polar Bears

I thought this was a great pick for this week in light of McCain’s pick of anti-greenie and rightwing vagina Sarah Palin for his VP.

    Yeah, sexism is awesome! Rightwing vagina? Are you serious? It’s her gender that’s a problem, now?

    @mael You are misreading me. McCain picked Palin because she’s a woman, not because she’s a qualified woman (she isn’t qualified, and there are certainly no shortage of qualified woman in the GOP, I wonder how Kay Bailey Hutchison is feeling right about now).

    She is a rightwing vagina. Even her mother-in-law said she had no idea what she offered McCain besides being a woman and being really conservative.

    So Sarah Palin is a rightwing vagina. That’s it. It’s not sexist, it’s the sum of what she brings to the McCain ticket. I’m just calling it like it is.

    @Shea How did I misunderstand you? You reduced Sarah Palin to her genitalia, stripped her of her humanity, and in the process managed to insult every one who does possess a vagina. That’s the damn textbook definition of sexism.

    Criticize her on the issues, hell, that should keep you busy for a couple of weeks. Mocking her gender is not only a lazy approach, it’s counterproductive, demeaning, and an insult to progressivism.

    Jeebus in a box. No, I insulted all the women who get easily offended because they see the world through black and white glasses.

    Sarah Palin is a joke of a candidate chosen simply because she has a vagina and Focus on the Family likes her. Again, that’s not sexist, that’s the truth of the matter. I make no judgments on her abilities because of her genitalia.

    Seriously? This needs to be explained to you? That referring to a person as her genitalia is disgustingly misogynist? Pick up the clue phone already.

    Way to be progressive there. Real intelligent analysis of the issues too.

    And yes I know Palin’s policy positions suck, as do McCain’s, and that they both should be criticized for them. But if you can’t manage to criticize Palin’s policies without resorting to knuckle-dragging, dehumanizing sexism, just hang it up because Karl Rove is playing you like a kazoo.

    Sick of this shit.

    mael, I’m a woman and I’m not offended. Shea’s not saying there’s anything wrong with women, just that that’s why she was picked. Take a chill pill.

    @point-hatted geek. Exactly!

    @qwerty123 If you could get over your bitterness you’d see that my analysis of McCain picking Palin solely ‘cuz she has a fun pouch IS spot on. You are the one being played by the Rovian politimonkeys.

    I am curious as to why my comment was not posted? I thought I brought up some good points. Just because I did not agree in your description of Palin does not mean I don’t have a voice. I suppose you all want your voice heard? Why not hear mine?

Got something to say?
