    Sarah Palin: Newsweek's Sexist!

    Retarded disabled-baby-exploiting lowest-common-denominator oil millionnaire Sarah Palin has criticised Newsweek as sexist! The cover for the issue featuring a photograph of Mrs. Palin (which she posed for Runner's World magazine) can be seen below (obviously).



    Now why is the article sexist? Well, she doesn't actually say. However, the article is highly critical and even dismissive of her which I suppose isn't particularly shocking considering she's a fucking idiot.

    Dave Brody, a dude from the Christian Broadcasting Network complained that the cover was, "biased and sexist at the same time", contrasting Mrs Palin's treatment with the favourable Newsweek portrayal of Hillary Clinton when she was first lady. "Conservative women are portrayed as nuts and dopey," he concluded. "Liberal women are heroes for the next generation."Seemingly oblivious to the fact that Sarah Palin is a nut and very dopey.

    Jon Meacham, Newsweek's editor, said in a statement: "We chose the most interesting image available to us to illustrate the theme of the cover, which is what we always try to do. We apply the same test to photographs of any public figure, male or female: does the image convey what we are saying? That is a gender-neutral standard."

    Sarah Palin (who is of course out whoring 'her' book about the place) had this to say "The out-of-context Newsweek approach is sexist and oh-so-expected by now. If anyone can learn anything from it: it shows why you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, gender, or colour of skin."

    Which is great advice, especially when considering that the cover of her own book says she wrote it. Which is of course a lie.
    The broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying. These people know only too well how to use falsehood for the basest purposes... Adolf Hitler

    What's more sad is that the editors offered an apology.

    I propose a Sarah Palin boycott.

No shame in my game just par for the path- I try to hone my craft because at hand's the task- But I find I'm not playing with a full deck- I'm up to my neck like Toulouse Lautrec

    One of them got offensive when he asked her what policy of palin's she agrees on. All they kept saying were sound bites they heard on fox news. But thats not the scary thing, they believe it and are serious.

    It's faith, that's all it is, they have faith that Palin is good for the country.

    Hahaha, she stands for what America is, "Freedom, out Liberty, right to speak".

    "Which of her policies to you agree with"

    "Woah now, where are you goin with that?"

    Some mad fucking morons there. This is why George W. got elected. He just stands there with a grin saying "I'm gunna follow my gut. I've got good judgement and you folks should trust it because I'm a good All American guy."

    It's just sad that they have absolutely no idea what they're talking about. Sarah Palin is just a celebrity and people like to follow the celebrities.

    The Democrats must be loving this. The more people like her the more likely she is to win the nomination in 2012. And then be destroyed, taking them down in Congress as well.

    And Newsweek are cowards. That's just weak.

    Surely she has no chance whatsoever of getting the nomination. The Republicans would know that would be suicide. Could you imagine Sarah Palin engagin in a live debate with Barack Obama?

    The Republican establishment is terrified. Absolutely terrified. Because Palin really could carry it because only crazy extremists, on both sides, vote in primaries. They are likely to be much more conservative and in the absence of a commanding figure like McCain for the party to rally around they are likely to flock to someone like Palin.

    Look at what happened in the NY special election. Professional Republicans put up a moderate who had a good shot at winning but the conservative wing rebelled and supported a third-party ultra conservative candidate and all the 2012 Presidential hopefuls had to endorse him. They split the vote, the Republican dropped out and the Democrats won the seat. It could and will happen again. The Republican party is at war with itself.
