I can't wait until she overturns Roe Vs. Wade and kills funding for sexual education. We will have an army of seventeen year old mothers - with all of those extra babies, we can destroy the Muslims.

Go Team America!!

Wow. Nice opinion piece with just the right amount of zing. I wouldn't call that statement unhinged since it's every bit conceivable with the Roves, Atwaters, and Palins running the GOP pit-bull attack machine. Woof Woof

Umm, no. No the article didn't say that. It says her choice was to use that issue to prove her credentials. She really IS supremely qualified, in a way.

But thank you for making me read an excellent article explaining the utter cynicism in her nomination. This has pretty much sealed the deal in my dislike of McCain.

Guess the Dems will be getting my vote for once. Thanks unhinged submitter, you've done more than millions of dollars of campaigning!

Subby: Latest unhinged statement that isn't anywhere in the article...

Maybe you linked to the wrong article, Subby?
Or maybe you are the retard here.

Let's explain it this way subby-

I didn't grow a big dick to prove to women that my graddad was black. However, it does a good job of improving my standing with certain women when they find out about it.

That metaphor should be more up your alley.

"Deliberately inflammatory headline regarding political issue distorts actual content of article with intent to provoke irrational conflicts among debaters. Sarcastic request for members of opposing ideology to inhale sharply"

Diogenes: I'm sorry, even I'm not that cynical. Could we knock this off?

Thanks for saying this.

That article sounds like something Ann Coulter would write if she was a liberal.

DeltaXi65: Diogenes: I'm sorry, even I'm not that cynical. Could we knock this off?

Thanks for saying this.

Next they're going to say she deliberately made it disabled for extra sympathy points.

There are elaborate mating rituals one must go through to conceive a retarded child. The following chant must be repeated at least ten times by both partners:

"HO DEE OTEN DOTEN DAY, HO DEE OTEN DAY OH, HO DEE OTEN DOTEN DAY, Downs' in your vagina!"

How could any supporter of intelligent design have any problems with this concept?

After all, if something serves a function, it must have been designed for that function, but definition....

Diogenes: I'm sorry, even I'm not that cynical. Could we knock this off?

It won't stop until Obama rips off his mask and reveals he's really Diana from V, and he eats a live rat on live TV during his debates with McCain.

"POW McCain! I bet you never ate a rat when you were in a VC prison camp!"

/I love this election soooooo much.

Well, if she had amnio and didn't end it, that could be an accurate statement. She probably didn't have amnio and just said "WTF" I'm preggers, yippie another baby for gawd and just blew off the whole 'problem' problem.

/can't wait till she gets knocked up when she's VP
//pray for twin Trigs?

So, your position is 1) having a Down's child is always wrong, and 2) no other opinion matters.

I guess "choice" is just a platitude to people like you.

Could you imagine what goofy ass names she would give them. Isn't it enough that they are retarded? I'm going to bet that if she does pop out another Trig it's going to be named something ridiculous like Tykler.

SHUT THE fark UP ABOUT PALIN ALREADY

No, just to use as a political tool against her enemies.

SSP: Wow. Nice opinion piece with just the right amount of zing. I wouldn't call that statement unhinged since it's every bit conceivable with the Roves, Atwaters, and Palins running the GOP pit-bull attack machine.

Lee Atwater's going to run things despite being dead for seventeen years? That's some fiendish skills the GOP has. Beats all hell out of the Democrats resurrecting a bunch of corpses in Chicago for a few hours on Election Day.

So after the Palin/Zombie Goldwater ticket wins in '16, what's next?

Dems can't even spell 'classy'.
It's not in their dictionary.

PacManDreaming: That article sounds like something Ann Coulter would write if she was a liberal.

Man, this.

FTFA:Not just [disgusted] with old white Christian patriarchs and their hopelessly calcified, religiously condoned misogyny, but also with the self-abnegating, submissive female Uncle Tommies whose ambitions and eagerness to please the powerful males of their tribe are so desperate that they would sell out their sovereignty over their own bodies. And yours too.

Shut up. Damn.

eyehate: I can't wait until she overturns Roe Vs. Wade and kills funding for sexual education. We will have an army of seventeen year old mothers - with all of those extra babies, we can destroy the Muslims.

That is the most realistic view of our future I've heard in quit some time. Go ahead and laugh, it's true.

Jacobin:

/can't wait till she gets knocked up when she's VP

I never even thought of that, thanks for the heads up

Really? Wow, I don't believe in Bush Derangement Syndrome (which to some is evidence that I have it), but Palin Derangement Syndrome might be real. She's an extreme anti abortion evangelical social conservative, why must you make up more things to hate about her?

I_C_Weener: Jacobin: Well, if she had amnio and didn't end it, that could be an accurate statement. She probably didn't have amnio and just said "WTF" I'm preggers, yippie another baby for gawd and just blew off the whole 'problem' problem.

I guess "choice" is just a platitude to people like you.

Thinking that someone should have the right to choice does not mean that their choice is protected from all criticism.

However, i agree, this is not something she should be criticized on. It's not a choice I would have made, but it wasn't my choice to make.

The article is hysterical.

You liberals make me laugh! This is the same kind of smear tactics that you've used in the past, and it failed in preventing 8 years of Bush's presidency. Why don't you all go do something useful and defend our country from the real threat, like the terrorists that still want us dead?!?

Shut up. Shut up. Shut. Up.

Mmm. Partisan acrimony. Tastes like butter. Bitter, spiteful butter.

I can only hope that the Palin attack squad doesn't quit until they've revolted enough people to assure a McCain victory. So far, so good.

I often thought it would be funny if someone truly as nasty as O'Reilly and Hannity but liberal got a TV show, but now. . . I'm not so sure.

THIS is what a liberal Coulter or Hannity looks like, not Rachel Maddow.

PAAAAAAAALINGARBL

I think subby was referring to this:

"What her Down syndrome baby and pregnant teenage daughter unequivocally prove, however, is that her most beloved child is the antiabortion platform that ensures her own political ambitions with the conservative right. The throat she's so hot to cut is that of all American women."

Of course, he probably knows she was talking about Palin's use of her baby as a political prop and not that she somehow gave him Down's syndrome in the womb (which is farking ludicrous), but you can't manufacture outrage or Fark headlines with that.

But yeah, the whole thing reads like this woman just wrote it to piss off any righties who may read it. It's flamebait, and damn effective flamebait.

But the general sentiment that Palin and the narrative the McCain campaign has weaved around her are using feminist rhetoric to promote both traditionally anti-feminist and chauvinist action is certainly accurate. And if the Obama campaign and/or their allies played their cards right in presenting this case to American women, it could be devastating to the McCain/Palin ticket.

Then again, the Obama camp don't seem to be able to craft a single sound byte these days that doesn't waffle or rely on words and phrases that have lost most of the meaning and the power they once had. It's frustrating as hell after they've run such a good campaign otherwise.

ekzrated: You liberals make me laugh! This is the same kind of smear tactics that you've used in the past, and it failed in preventing 8 years of Bush's presidency.

Wow. I... I don't even know whether I disagree with you on that one...
ekzrated: Why don't you all go do something useful and defend our country from the real threat, like the terrorists that still want us dead?!?

... And you had to go and ruin it. Farking idiot.

Or you could just fark while watching Disaster Movie. Same results.

Hmm, maybe we should all just start acting like Right Wingers just for the other side. . .

I think it would go something like this:

Heh, anything that pisses you rethugs off this much must be true! Get that biatch! Woo!

I love the lispy, shrill, gossipy reaction to Palin by insecure liberals.

You can just hear the contempt in their voices coming from all those bad memories of their sad adolescence, never acknowledged by the cute girls in school, who always spoke nicely but never gave them the time of day, who always made them feel self-conscious about their politics and world-view, who showed them in probably the most memorable and striking way how unfair life can really be, who made them feel so small and insignificant, not by being mean, but simply being so much more attractive and sociable, and who ultimately put a pretty face on a world that just seems so unfair. WAHHHHH farking biatches!

Wow, a whole lotta crazy there. I never conceived of how angry certain groups could be because a woman is pro-life. Or am I wrong that there is a bit of crazy out there because of this?

I sort of agree with the author. I find Palin to be an affront to my own lifestyle and those of any other woman who wants the full banquet of choices and responsibilities in life.

But DAMN. Big old dose of penis-envy that author has, methinks.

I can't wait for this election to end. It's a joke. A complete joke. McCain is saying it's not about the issues, and Obama is spending each day talking about the issues.....methinks to himself. Sarah Palin's ugly mug is all over the farking place as she's new "It" girl for everyone to beat off to. Meanwhile, this country is going down the shiatter faster than the Mexican combo plate you ate last week, and NO ONE SEEMS TO GIVE A shiat.


I would LOVE for the debates to hurry up, so that we can start talking about issues and policy and reform and what the next President is going to do, not what farking eyeglasses Torquemada with Tits is sporting this week or what inane comment some dumb left-wing blog is spewing as fact. ENOUGH!


/end rant
//no really, ranting over
///Slashies for Obama

Bloody William: Or you could just fark while watching Disaster Movie. Same results.

I do believe that movie is so bad that it will actually drive all the blood out of a man's penis. So it may be hard to test that theory.

"Palin had a Down Syndrome baby on purpose to establish her pro-life bonafides"

Yep that's what it said...

*groan*

As a bloggin', Kos-readin', die-hard Librul, I find that utterly disgusting. Whoever spouts that bullshiat should be punched in the taint.

You know, I've been hearing this a lot lately, and I have no idea where it comes from. Where has Palin said that she intends to make that choice for everyone? Or is it that you all think that she'll have some sort of sway over SCOTUS nominees that will have to pass Congressional muster?

Seriously. Where did she author, sponsor or otherwise support pro-life activities in her professional life? Has she ever tried to make abortion illegal in Alaska? Cause if she has, let's see it.

FTFY. See how this type of thing works? You sound like the farking Coultergeist.

Oh yeah, I'm not in any way saying the author of the article isn't a douche.

I see you guys are once again relying on the Cartman defense:



You just jealous, I do what I want!

Sorry, guys. Not everyone is as petty and spiteful and ruled by feelings of inadequacy from their youth as you are. Keep the diagnosis your psychiatrist gave you private and stop projecting it onto others, k?

K.

Or does the crowd that has said for DECADES that feminists are all a bunch of angry bull-dykes who just can't get a man but are now portraying themselves as a bunch of bra-burning girl-power types really want to get into this argument?

Uhuh.

System of a Downs?

You sound, um, intimately familiar with this mindset.

Okay, that piece was certainly "unhinged" and embarrassing...

but I don't see that claim alluded to in the headline at all submitter.

Is it just my imagination or did someone dose the US water supply with LSD25 this week?

Or maybe people will become more responsible with their behavior and STD rates will decline. But, hey, I'm an optimist.

For the first time in my adult life, I'm really ashamed of the left wing.
