Why the hatred for Sarah Palin?
I asked a year ago why you hated Hillary, too - but got no answer. Hillary was obviously the most knowledgeable and competent primary candidate who would try her best to keep her promises - but you all hated her and loved Obama who isn't doing a damn thing he promised.
And you all hate Sarah.
I just want to know why. Is it because she has said stupid things? Well, Obama said that there were 57 states, and the US is one of the largest Muslim countries in the world. If you give me a list of Sarah's silly comments - I can give you a list just as long of Obama's stupid comments. And Biden? That list is triple both together! As VP - they keep him out of reach of a microphone when they can - a loose cannon, for sure. Open his mouth, and out comes stoopid. So you can't hate her for incorrect and stupid comments, or you would have to hate Obama equally and Biden worse.
Hate her for her Republican 'values'? Well..... her personal ideology is right-wing, but then she did stand up for gay rights in Alaska and she did put a pro-choice woman on the Alaska Supreme Court. Wolf kill? Did you find out why or do you just react without the facts? Drill, Baby, Drill? Are you jealous of the money she got from the oil companies for Alaskan citizens? Perhaps you should think - American oil or Saudi? Your choice. Bow lower to the King or go North American? Obviously you would rather bow, just like Obama did. What would you have said if Sarah had bowed low to the King of Saudi Arabia?
So Sarah has all these 'ethics' suits against her. All have been discarded that have come to court. They are a joke. Or do you think because someone can complain or make something up they must be worthy? And yet she must answer each one - with money and time. Such crap.
So all the Kos people have a thread a day with coarse nasty ugly sexist crap about Sarah. Most of it is about how stoopid she is, or how she has big boobs or is corrupt or how horrible her children are or there is a horrible scandal brewing. After all, her daughter had a baby at 17 - but so did Obama's mother. Palin just must be corrupt, because she is sexy and Republican and you hate her.
Did she say things about Obama that you didn't like? It was an election and as VP candidate, that was her job.
Do you hate her because she is middle class? Because she didn't go to Harvard? Because she lives in Alaska and hunts moose? Because she has reached the positions she has on merit instead of sucking up to corporations? Why? Why?
The whole thing is creepy. Please quit. You are making yourselves out to be idiots or much, MUCH worse.
I used to think that liberals and left wing people were more decent. We were kind and thoughtful and considerate and smart. We believed in truth and fairness. But the last year has proved this to be untrue. Liberals are more ugly than the right-wingers. The Republicans go after men. The liberals are worse. They hate women and go after them to destroy. Lovely. Charming. Totally creepy.
I expect this diary to be deleted. And if it isn't, I expect horrid sexist rude comments calling me names, and foolish justifications for Palin hate. Common sense isn't a Kos feature when it comes to Sarah or Hillary. I would be happy to be a PUMA if I were an American.
It doesn't matter that I have been a member since 2004 and read the sensible diaries every day (although, some days the pickings are slim.)Well, have at it. I'm an old woman who has been through enough mysogyny in my life to know it when I see it.
