This is a rant. I have to warn you. I just watched this video:
http://www.youtube.com/...
I got so upset when I thought about what these people were saying and doing I had to write this diary. (I hope I did this thing right with the video. It's the one of the David Letterman protest.) I am so angry and upset I am shaking. I was offended when I first heard Sarah Palin trying to score points off this. I was even more offended last fall when I heard that Alaska charges rape victims for rape kits. This is because I am a survivor of sexual assault. I was gang raped at the age of eleven by some young men who my older brother owed drug money to. To finally hear that This Bitch(and I can no longer find any other word for her) is accepting David's apology on MY behalf? Fuck You Bitch! i mean really! Just who the fuck do you think you are!?! Sarah Palin has no right to accept his apology and he has no reason to apologize. My reasons below. the fold.
David Letterman is a comedian. Comedians tell jokes. I do not always like their jokes, but I accept that as a part of life. Comedians are there to speak what they see as the truth. They are there to point out our foibles and our hypocrasy and the little lies we tell ourselves and they do a pretty good job at it in general. David was talking about an eighteen year old who had already had a child and a man who had recently been caught having an affair. I believe that is a joke about two adults who have clearly had what one could consider irresponsible sex having irresponsible sex.
That Palin's Younger daughter was at the game was a mistake on his part and he apologized for that mistake.
It now seems that she just cannot stop herself from trying to drag this out so that she can continue to be in the media spotlight. There were just as many media persons at the protest as there were actual protestors and in the end they started spewing off random GOP talking points. And they did all of this at my expense and the expense of all the other survivors out there.
One thing Sarah Palin does not know, or maybe really is it's just that she does not care, is that when one starts going off about the sexual exploitation of young girls, those of us who have survived sexual exploitation can and often are triggered by this. She does not care.
She did not care what effect exposure to world media would have on her pregnant, unmarried teenage daughter. Why would she care about us.
Sarah Palin does not care what affect pregnancy due to sexual exploitation has on the victims. Otherwise she would not be against abortion in cases of sexual exploitation. This means that if her own 14 year old daughter actually had been raped(God Forbid such horror)Sarah Palin would not let her get an abortion. Even if the pregnancy were going to kill both the mother and the child. Why would she care what her effect the continued exploitation of this joke and all survivors like me will have.
In fact Sarah Palin cares so little about the survivors of sexual exploitation that as governor she allowed the state of Alaska to charge rape victims for rape kits. This of course is the only crime where law enforcement is allowed to charge victims for the investigation of crimes committed against them.
Sarah Palin does not care about survivors and victims of rape, incest, or sexual exploitation of any kind. She does not care how many suffer psychiatric episodes, panic, ptsd, nightmares. She does not even care what effect all this talk will have on the fourteen year old girl at the middle of this. I wonder how this little girl feels. All over the national media, on the television, in print and on the radio people are scoring political point over the hypothetical rape of this girl and her own mother is making damn sure that they will keep doing so as long as she can.
