Looks like someone's angling for a job at TalkLeft, complete with misspellings and drama! That wasn't so much bitter as it was comedy gold. 'sino-peruvian lesbians'??? It doesn't get much funnier than that.

Re: Open Thread (4.00 / 2)

The denial in that post is just...blinding. Palin is nothing more than the silk rope sold to feminism so it can hang itself. Palin specifically supports anti-choice, anti-gender measures and the teaching of intelligent design as means to keep the population...MALE AND FEMALE...too ignorant to know the difference.

But it's the backhanded racism in that screed that absolutely makes my blood boil.

It's yet another non-African-American assuming that African-Americans are too stupid to judge a fellow African-American on the issues important to them because Obama will "set African-Americans back", while completely failing to see the difference between Obama, who supposedly has "proven he doesn't care about women's issues", and John McSame, who with the choice of Sarah Palin magically DOES?

Oh, and PS...there are such people as African-American WOMEN. I guess they're too stupid to see Obama for who he is and they'll line up to see him lose because of a white woman from that bastion of black history and culture, the great state of FUCKING ALASKA.

Jesus on a 3-foot wooden dowel rod, now you've managed to piss me off for a good 2 hours with that, BooMan.

Heh.

Well dammit, it just made me mad to see that...it's full of the same exact pointless hatred towards African-Americans that she seems to think we all have for her, personally.

It's the truth. She is a means to the end of civil rights in this country.

I think Obama's "utter disdain" for women was obvious last night as he looked at Michelle like she hung the moon...

Re: Open Thread (none / 1)

Wow, Obama and Biden are bad for women, and McCain is a champion of feminism and women's rights...never mind that he's promised to load the supreme court with more scalia, roberts, and alitos and overturn Roe v Wade, voted against the Lily Ledbetter Fair pay act, called his wife a trollop and a c-word...shall I go on? Im sure I've missed something.

Those women set the women's movement back 50 years. They reinforce gender stereotypes of the irrational female.

They are either cultists or moles and neither is pretty. The former is unsurprising and the latter is sad.

Re: Open Thread (none / 0)

Two things the PUMAs seem to think but will never admit,

When Hillary declared it was the duty of every Democrat to give her the nomination.
The Iraq War and its enablers was not a legitimate issue in the Democratic Primary.

I'm sure a well-qualified woman will be elected President
by 2028 or (I hope) earlier, not with the 'help' of the gender-over-issues PUMA types.
