The Freeper thread:

The fake feminism of Sarah Palin (***BARF ALERT***)
Washington comPost ^ | 5/29/2010 | Jessica Valenti

Sarah Palin sure is dropping the f-bomb a lot lately.

In a widely noted speech this month to the Susan B. Anthony List, an anti-abortion-rights group, Palin invoked the words "feminism" and "feminist" no less than a dozen times. She called for a "pro-woman sisterhood" and addressed the "sisters" in the audience. If it weren't for the regular references to gun rights, you might have thought you were listening to Gloria Steinem.

If this rhetoric seems uncharacteristic of the former governor of Alaska, that's because it is. When running for vice president in 2008, Palin flip-flopped on the feminist question, telling CBS's Katie Couric that she is one, but later telling NBC's Brian Williams, "I'm not going to label myself anything."

Today, however, Palin is happily adopting the feminist label. She's throwing support behind "mama grizzly" candidates, describing the large number of women in the "tea party" as evidence of a "mom awakening" and preaching girl power on her Facebook page.

It's not a realization of the importance of women's rights that's inspired the change. It's strategy. Palin's sisterly speechifying is part of a larger conservative move to woo women by appropriating feminist language. Just as consumer culture tries to sell "Girls Gone Wild"-style sexism as "empowerment," conservatives are trying to sell anti-women policies shrouded in pro-women rhetoric.

The freeper responses:

Liberals are so predictable. Black conservatives aren't black enough. Female conservatives aren't female enough.

I wonder if they just don't realize how transparent they've become or if they just don't care one way or the other.

Really? You mean Sarah was saying that it was okay for Bill Clinton to grab Kathleen Willey's breasts and force her hand on his privates because he stopped when Willey said no?

I love it when Palin drives them bonkers.

I’ve noticed a huge uptick in attacks from my liberal friends.

They are scared sitless.

Her feminism is fake only under the definition of the carpet munching, Birkenstock wearing NAGS.

1. I'm scared spitless

Terminal cotton mouth.

[JitterbugPerfume]

2. Good grief!

[Davis_X_Machina]

3. This condition is a direct result...

...of laughing your ass off.

[theothersnippywshrub]

16. Very good. n/t

[lpbk2713]

4. Smirky made "stupid" acceptable.

Ergo, they feel no shame.

[DiverDave]

5. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!

Let her run...she will show the world what a brainless, spineless, no nothing fool she is.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

7. I'm pretty sure the world already knows it, like it knew it with Dubya.

It's people like a friend of mind whom I *battled* with during the Bush years; she finally came around and said "you were right." But pretty much in the same breath she said Sarah Palin "just needs more time, she's just not ready yet" It's those types who cause me concern, and I don't know if they represent only the wacko 29%, or if their numbers are growing.

[Generic Other]

6. The promise keeper loving, anti-choice, ex-beauty queen

stay at home, women should be silent in church, cookie baking, SUV driving, flag waving, stand by your man, iron his shirts and get him a beer soccer moms are now the new feminists? Good golly Ms. Molly!!

[onehandle]

8. Paris Hilton should not be this 'influential' and neither should Palin.

I'm not scared, I'm embarrassed for our country.

[proud2BlibKansan]

9. Freepers are confusing fear with laughter

We laugh at her because she's a fucking lunatic and they think we're afraid of her. It's just more proof of their stupidity.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

12. "Diana in Wisconsin" is convinced that it's fear. Really fearful fearsome fear.

From the same thread:

To: markomalley

They fear her like a silver bullet. Like a clove of garlic. Like Kryptonite.



Go, Sarah! Go!

10. I agree with this Freeper....

"Liberals are so predictable. Black conservatives aren't black enough. Female conservatives aren't female enough."

Isn't this true?


... the left spends time and energy thoughtfully analyzing issues, seperating facts from frantic fictions, and trying to achieve some semblance of bi-partisanship (when will Obama say "enough" to the Republicans and forge ahead???).

The RW'ers just come up with catchy slogans and repeat the mantra that is assigned to them, apparently without any thought processes involved whatsoever (one of my problems with "faith").

As one DU'er puts it in his/her signature line, ""The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts" -Bertrand Russell"

11. God how I would love to see Palin on the ticket in 2010

just for the sheer entertainment value....all of her buffoonery revisited.

[lpbk2713]

14. SNL and the Late Night comics would be ecstatic.

They would have an unlimited supply of material.


:rofl:

[emulatorloo]

13. Fear her? HA HA I am just sick of listening to that fool's idiocy

and sick of her being on TV all the time. She's got her little fringe followers. all the sane people realize she is a joke.

[AnArmyVeteran]

15. When Palin speaks, she removes all doubt...

"It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak out and remove all doubt." - Abe Lincoln

[HillGal]

17. I tend to agree with that assessment for one reason, people tend to attack things they fear

no idea why the media doesn't just go away and Palin will eventually slip into oblivion. Keeping her in the forefront does nothing good at all for progressives, if anything the constant attacks upon her will make more people sympathetic to her. We saw what happened when the Clintons were constantly attacked, it endeared them more to the general public, and endeared them no doubt to people who might not of been fans of theirs to begin with. The American people tend to root for and stick with the underdog, people need to pull back or risk their greatest fear, Palin actually having an impact on society, do we really want that?

[MrScorpio]

18. The Clintons were never brain dead, incompetent, media-whoring quitters

And I know very well that the American people are quite intelligent and discerning enough to tell the difference between a couple of smart, compassionate and well accomplished over-achievers like the Clintons and a woman, if I may use that description laughingly, who couldn't distinguish her own ass from a hole in the ground even if she had a picture painted of both of them to be shoved in front of her squeaky pie hole.

Everyone knows that the criticism leveled against Palin is much earned, because that ditzy know nothing is utterly incapable of shutting the hell up.

The GOP's constant promotion of completely incompetent and corrupt dip shits will be the death of that party.

[HillGal]

19. You do realize the name calling doesn't help matters either, people just tune it out, make your

argument based on facts, you'll get further.

[MrScorpio]

21. The way plenty of us see it around here, Palin is nothing more than a whiny loser

America has made a cottage industry of making whiny losers like her pay dearly for their whiny loserness.

And basically, what the hell has she done anyway to deserve any respect? Look cute with her expensive GOP purchased wardrobe and her fancy pageant walking, while posting her juvenile meanderings on her Facebook page?

Sure, that can get her top dollar from the rubes who'll also pay for her fizzy water and bendy straws at her public babble fests, but it's not what makes leadership material.

No freaking way that that qualifies her for high office.

The woman is nothing more than a clown act, a pretty good one, I say. Because most people with any common simply sense will laugh at her asinine antics.

She's about as scary as an ingrown toenail.

[Berserker]

20. "scared shitless"

Oh for one I am not "scared shitless" I want that crazy women to run ...please do. OH PLEASE DO.

[gleaner]

22. Lliberals are sensible people ...

We don't sit because we want to be able to make a break for it when that grating screechy voice begins its assault on our ear drums, and the sight of Alaska Barbie turns us to stone;) It's not like we are going to miss anything. She always says the same thing and then contradicts it later. Susan B. Anthony would have been appalled by the Palin and Tea Party rhetoric. She was a believer in human rights as well as womens' rights and she stood for something. Palin stands for nothing except the crackle of crisp dollar bills.
