Things I Loathe: The Right Wing Neocon con artists "Swiftboating"

My Comments

Is Eve Fairbanks delusional?

WHAT similarities between Pres. Clinton and VP nominee Sarah Palin is she referring to?

Clinton was raised in poverty, Palin in the middle-class.

Palin attended no fewer than six colleges in six yrs. to obtain a BS degree in Sports Journalism. Since her transcripts have not been released, we do not know why so many schools, yet I would wager John McCai's daily gambling winnings that there are not an abundance of A's on them.

While still an undergraduate, Clinton clerked for a powerful senator. Before becoming mayor of a small town, Palin had been active in the PTA.

Here is Clinton's educational background, taken from wikipedia:

With the aid of scholarships, Clinton attended the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., receiving a Bachelor of Science in Foreign Service (B.S.F.S.) degree in 1968. He spent the summer of 1967, the summer before his senior year, working as an intern for Arkansas Senator J. William Fulbright. While in college he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa.

Upon graduation he won a Rhodes Scholarship to University College, Oxford where he studied Government.

After Oxford, Clinton attended Yale Law School and obtained a Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree in 1973.

So..is Eve Fairbanks the only person in America who sees similarities between Bill Clinton and Sarah Palin?

Or will a new "journalist" be writing tomorrow that they share yet another similarity--She claims to be a woman, and he likes women!

How come the reporter didn't mention the fact that Laura Albert has been
revealed to be extremely mentally-ill?

Here's what I wonder about...the rapturous reviews given to these odious
books. They are abysmally written, utilizing the device of an ostensible first-person, yet using words and concepts that this narrator would never know, along with a back-drop of utterly implausible and sickening plots. However did they get so brilliantly reviewed?

Mostly, though, I wonder how so many people (celebs, reviewers and readers
alike) could enjoy the tales of a physically, sexually, emotionally abused
and exploited transgendering truck-stop prostitute (surrounded and nurtured
by loving, supportive fellow transgendering truck-stop pros, pimps, and
four-star gourmet nouvelle cuisine chefs in West Virginia). Compare
Albert's oeuvre to any novel by Andrew Vachss, the lawyer/novelist who
represents abused children in his juvenile justice pro bono practice...and
you'll see that, contrary to Albert's psychotic fantasies, there's not one thing that is fun, loving or enjoyable about abused rent-boys or girls, men or women: hetero, gay or transgenedered.

On the same day that Camille Paglia contributed her usual insane drivel, which no one, and I mean no one should ever take seriously, Salon editor Joan Walsh went on t.v. to say that she, too "admired Palin's feminism."

The mass delusion is sickening and dangerous.

Palin is a "feminist" because she knows how to shoot semi-automatic weapons to hunt animals? Or because she is ruthlessly ambitious (although not even qualified to be head of the PTA.)?

Palin is a neocon, a member of gopac, a religious extremist, and a Creationist. As a pawn of the right-wing, who parrots everything Geroge W. Bush has ever said (verbatim, down to pronouncing the word "nu-cu-lar",) she is opposed to anything pro-woman other than using her phoney "sassy, feistiness"...i.e., repeatedly winking at her audience during the VP debates to attempt to garner votes for her running-mate.

If elected, she and McCain would try to overturn Roe v Wade, prevent pay increases for women, and, as Palin has done in her own state, decrease funding for special needs children, force rape victims to pay for their own rape kits, and "counsel women to choose life." Perhaps Palin would also urge McCain to promote the witchdoctor priest who performed an exorcism on her (casting out her "witches") to public office. Poor, middle and working-class people (disproportionately females) would become even more disenfranchised, with the rich becoming mega-rich. The cost of the human suffering? Incalculable.

But the feminist tag is merely a smokescreen.

She is an ultra-right right neocon, and their agenda is her agenda. Anyone who gets distracted by her bogus persona is just thinking with her little clit.

Just as Margaret Thatcher functioned as Ronald Reagan's lapdog (or...pitbull), so would Sarah Palin in a McCain/Palin administration.

There are several things about her I would like answered:

WHY did she go to six colleges in six years to obtain a BS degree? Was it that she was incapable of getting along with anyone, or did she constantly flunk out?

How could anyone with a journalism degree be so incapable of forming a literate English sentence?

Is someone who holds a journalism degree from a mediocre college qualified to possibly become president?

Will Palin's numerous scandals (Troopergate, collectinging her travel per diem while staying at home) be investigated? And if she is found guilty/culpable, will that affect her ability to hold public office?

Is it true that "Sarah and Todd accepted Bristol's pregnancy? Or did they, in fact, send her to live with her aunt during her pregnancy, and to attend a high school 25 miles away from her home?

Why is her oldest son deploying to Iraq? Is he avoiding a jail sentence for his repeated theft of public property which he would then use to buy Oxycontin?

Why can Sarah Palin not be interviewed by as many journalists as any other candidate? She should be compelled to be interviewed by newspaper reporters, and do all the requisite Sunday morning talk shows.

The double standard of simultaneously treating her like a delicate flower ("Biden can't be too aggressive with her!") and her describing herself as a "pitbull" (and certainly behaving like one) says it all...If she is a "feminist" she should be capable of holding her own against Big, Bad Katie Couric or ""Charlie, Charlie, Charlie" Gibson.

Two more questions:

Where is PETA?

Why is Angelina Jolie still "undecided"? Is she, contrary to her assertions, still influenced by her father,a McCain supporter? For her to be "undecided" equals a McCain endorsement.
