The rape of Sarah Palin

[garbage can]

Because I am the mother of a teenage daughter who is 17.

What if you were the father of a 17 year old daughter. Would that make a difference? Or is it the Mother thing that disturbs you?

 

[Bert Notorius]

That you are.

Don't expect an apology. It is as I described it. I understand what rape is. Sometimes words must be used as a slap in the face. Dig down in your soul and ask yourself, is this right? Is this how I want the system to work? You dwell on the word rape. It has dual meaning. It is above all the yielding of overwhelming power over one unable to fight off the attack. If the full weight of the world media is not overwhelming, I don't know what is.

People should be offended. I don't see many coming to defend the honor Sarah Palin. I guess it's up to me.

I don't know you. You don't know me. I am complex. But I know I will climb those stairs, as I have done every night for 25 years, snuggle up to my wife, and sleep soundly in the knowledge that I spoke my mind.

I know my heart.

 

[SusyQ]

Are you incapable of teaching your hypothetical 17 year old daughter about unprotected sex?

Um, no. And I'm willing to do it, so hopefully, she won't end up pregnant. Adequate information and access to birth control is a necessary but not sufficient condition for not getting pregnant when you have sex.

She doesn't need anyone to defend her honor. Whether your like her or not, she is more than capable of answering these charges however she chooses to. She doesn't need to be protected by anyone with regards to this. First off, no matter what she says, one third of the people will love it, because she is their candidate, a second third will hate it and find fault, because she isnot their candidate. The final third will fall somewhere between the two extremes or just not care in general.

Where were you when people were saying Barak Obama wasn't a citizen? When they said he was a Muslim with ties to terrorists? Those were patently untrue LIES. Where was your sense of honor then?

I am offended because Sarah Palin knew what she was getting into, chose it nevertheless, and is facing the scrutiny that all candidates face. Are you saying that people CHOOSE to be raped?

If I were you, I'd lie awake worrying about karma. The universe has a strange way of cutting through semantic arguments and showing us what's really true.

Bert, when the whole world is telling you you're a horse's ass, you best get saddled up. Else, you're left with Garbage Can riding bareback as you ride off into the sunset.

Sometimes what we feel has little basis in fact.

You are complex?

lol

I have a strong back. (and good teeth) The opinion of this place is suspect at best. And I never back away from what I believe, regardless of the consequence. It is the way of my people, ugh!

This is hardly the whole world. You're just not listening.

 

[Bert Notorius]

At least I'm not a racist.

It was a metaphor. Ironic you didn't get that.

Then I would be a man and that would be weird.

I never said I was smart.

 

[rootsfan]

Using the term rape trivializes what the media has done to Sarah Palin.

Repulsive, pathetic and inexcusable. I guess hyperbole and complete disregard for the legitimate pain and suffering of others is justified in your mind when your candidate is taking heat. How sad.

And busybody: Vile, racist bullshit conveyed through cutesy spelling is still vile, racist bullshit. You're in Killswitch territory...

 

[John Doe]

Would it have been better for her to hide it? Then everyone would be decrying her for keeping it a secret. It's the same with Obama and the religion thing. People complain about him not saying what he is, and then if he did say, they would find fault with that. That's how the media works in these situations.

Stop that.

I'm sorry but since when does someone run for a high political office and not have a microscope shoved up their ass?

 

[garbage can]

It seems there are some here who think Sarah Palin is unfit to be VP because she has a 17 year old pregnant daughter, as if she were a bad Mother.

The old double standard is popping up. If Mr Palin were the one running for veep, he wouldn't be castigated for being a bad father.


Tsk, Tsk

Or...

... in the case of Michelle, maybe a telescope.

What else you got? I'm tired. Anything relevant or are you just trying to score style points with the ladies?

 

[IrezumiKiss]

I never said I was smart.

Boy, you got that part fucking right. Mr. "Complex."

 

[killallhippies]

i'm starting to think someone is enjoying the attention.

 

[John Doe]

Excuse me?

She hid her own (supposed)* pregnancy until she was 7 months along.

*Why do you keep doing that? Is it that unlikely for a 44 yr-old woman to give birth to a child with Down syndrome?

 

[Bert Notorius]

Boy, you got that part fucking right. Mr. "Complex."

Would you just fucking ignore me already?

 

[rootsfan]

are you just trying to score style points with the ladies?

Ah, the last refuge of anyone losing a political argument on the GB.

 

[Bert Notorius]

i'm starting to think someone is enjoying the attention.

Jealous much? Christ almighty.

I'm not saying that nor would I say that.
