Did the media treat Palin with the respect that everyone is demanding for women?

[koshergrl]

Uh, no?

It does, however, make him one of a few people who realize ALASKA AND RUSSIA ARE NEIGHBORS, and if they are neighbors, they will have interaction with each other.

You're so incredibly dense. And the really irritating thing is, you don't even know how incredibly stupid you are. Do you have any idea how idiotic you sound to people who actually know the relationship between Russia and Alaska?

So, your brother is smart enough to know that being that close to Russia that you can see it off in the distance does NOT make one an expert in Russian/American relations.

Your brother got the brains in the family, didn't he?

Politicians get called all sorts of foul names. It, unfortunately, comes with the territory of Politics. Surely you are not suggesting a double standard for female politicians. How do they expect to be taken seriously if they have to be handled with kid gloves and men aren't?

I never said Palin deserved an apology.

However, what I AM saying is if Fluke deserved an apology, then so did Palin.

The left even attacked her children....All of them.

Ho-hum, and the righties attacked President Clintons child and they attack president Obamas children too.

Yes, Palin is/was a politician running for the 2nd highest office in the land.
FAIR GAME.

 

[Article 15]

The right cannot rationalize LimpBall's behavior so they jump in circles and point fingers at comedians who HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH SANDRA FLUKE. THen it's an easy jump to Sarah Palin who was called derogatory names when she made an ASS of herself in front of Katie Couric and the entire country.

The far right learned these sort of tactics from Karl Rove's campaign book on how to make a stupid, rich lazy boy the 43rd president of the United States. You learn well, little grasshoppers.

you are a ****.

In other words, OtaniKitano dropped the hammer and hit the nail perfectly square.

Well done.

Great relationship. They point nuclear weapons at each other.

Sorry troll, Palin brought most of the negative press on herself. "I can see Russia from my porch"; not even you're dumb enough to suggest 'seeing' Russia is a substitute for knowing Russia in terms of an understanding of our long term relations with Russia and the nations which made up the former USSR.

Palin lacked even the rudimentary knowledge needed to pass a blue book exam in an undergrad Foreign Relations exam, or one in Geography or Psychology; her ignorance must be what attracted you and others like you to her.

Palin was and is all partisan all of the time. Of course that is what attracts the 28%ers to whom she appeals; as a demagogue she's a failure, she forgets the other 72% of Americans have open minds and open hearts and the callous conservative theme is anathema to them.

And you are apparently too fucking stupid to know that Palin never said that.. Tina Fey did on SNL. But please, continue to show your complete stupidity.

ummmm... what she said was that russian and alaska shared a maritime border, which is true... and then said you could "see russian from parts of alaska", which is also true. where her mistake was ... was in pretending that gave her foreign policy experience. it didn't.

and before you say neither did the president... that's true. (one of the reasons i voted for hillary in the primary). on the other hand, he seemed able to learn.. she didn't. and the fact that mccain was in his 70s and had cancer a few times left me thinking sarah could end up president.

i'd have eaten off my own arm before pulling a lever that would have contributed to such a travesty.

i was simply pointing out to Wry that he's full of sit if he believes Palin actually said that quote he attributed to her.

I understood that... which is why I was very careful to use what she actually said. the reason it gets misquoted is because she was satirized as having said "i can see alaska from my house"... Not an exact quote, but she was satirized like every other politician.

I guess I'm just not seeing why sarah should be handled any more carefully or respectfully than hillary clinton was and is. hillary was one of the top 100 lawyers in the US even before her husband was president and is a formidable intellect in her own right. (top shelf Secy of State, too, imo) yet when her detractors talk about her, they post terrible pictures of her or rely on disgusting photoshopped ones (which is something they do for every democratic female they don't like).

To then turn around and feign outrage over sarah being treated the same way is just disingenuous... which is kind of what my point was in the first place...

and for that, i got called names by someone who couldn't even respond appropriately as to why sarah should be treated any better than hillary was.

I don't think that was an unreasonble question.

What is it about Sarah Palin that has the wingnuts banking the fires for her? What qualities does she have that I and most of Thinking America have missed? It cannot be her Churchillian oratory. The woman sounds as bright as a super model. It can't be her statesmanship because she has expressed the idea that there are parts of America more "American" than others. It can't be her experience because she failed to complete one term as governor before she quit and ran away.

Why do so many wingnuts have a hard on for Sarah Palin?

Or, does it say more about the wingnuts than it does about the idiot Palin? Smarts don't count for much among the wingnuts, that's for sure.

Conservatives completely ignore the reason why media outlets exist to begin with.......to make money.

The media will report on anything anyone says or does that is deemed idiotic, regardless of which political side it comes from, as long as they believe they will make money from doing so.

Sarah Palin is a treasure trove of all things idiotic. If she can actually manage to string together a grammatically correct sentence, you can pretty much be guaranteed that the result will still be idiotic.

The reason why conservatives are always whining about how the media seems so liberal is because there seems to be so much more stupid-fodder coming from the right.

This thread isn't about Palins acumen as a politician. It's asking if the media treated her in a respectful manner. Ie all the name calling prior to the 08 election. Now stop being a chickenshit and vote.

When you call the media into question, Palin's acumen as a political figure becomes the issue. The media didn't attack her because she is a woman. the attacked her because she is a stupid woman and a political figure. Vice Presidential candidate and governor (who quit) of Alaska.

They attacked her because she is a republican. Woman was secondary and brains is last.

This is what they call delusion.

she's pretty
she's venemous
she has a bodaceous set of ta ta's...

that adds up to her being idolized by rightwinguts. plus, they think she annoys liberals... pretty much their sole criteria for any type of political choice they make.
