Until it’s confirmed one way or the other, I’m going to assume the video in question is just as dishonest as Peggy Noonan’s, or the one with half of Palin’s comments about the vice-presidency.

So, what kind of sex education did Bristol Palin receive in school? Was it the kind her mother favors, or was it comprehensive? To which type of sex ed can we attribute this “failure”? One of the limitations of abstinence education is the lack of NFP training. If girls who want to abstain knew when they’re fertile, it would help their decision (and fewer trout would be subject to sex-change from the hormones urinated into rivers these past 40 years)

Apparently my reply to your last was too long and did not pass the moderators.

Were you intentionally obfuscating when writing, “On the other hand, I have not a clue as to who they were talking about vis-a-vis Lyda Green”? The radio talk show host states, “Lyda Green is a bitch and she needs to go away because she is a cancer on the progress of the state of Alaska and if Lyda Green’s seat is empty, fly me down because I know it’s got to be a big, cushy one.” Palin is laughing throughout his comments. — RealityChick

No. I really don’t recognize the name of Lyda Green. And have no idea as to whether or not I agree with the talk-radio host that they are a (1) “cancer” and/or (2) “bitch”.

They could be right, for all I know.

And yet you take umbrage. And my ignorance is supposed to be ‘evil’?

Get a LIFE….for cry’n out loud. And preferably one that doesn’t make you part of a modern ‘Spanish Inquisition’. You probably wouldn’t fit with the Monty Python’s Flying Circus crew anyway.

I don’t think it is appropriate to call any woman a bitch for any reason. I don’t think it is appropriate to laugh when another calls any woman a bitch for any reason. You stated, “For all I know they may be justified in their personal opinions of her. And Governor Sarah Palin could be well within her rights to ‘giggle’ at their comments.” Does this mean that YOU, personally, think it is appropriate to call a woman a bitch for any reason? If so, then you and I will simply have to agree to disagree on this one. But is does belie the thesis of your argument. — RealityChick

Oh! So THAT’s it. Can’t call women names, eh?

So tell me. When did YOU become a convert to Christ?

By the way, ‘BITCH’ is an acronym

Boys,

I did not engage in a personal attack of Sarah Palin or her daughter. My criticism of Sarah Palin is based on her publicly stated policy positions against explicit sex-education in public schools, against abortion even in cases of rape or incest, her willingness to impose her CHOICE on all others and her willingness to engage in (or laugh when others engage in) personal attacks of those with whom she disagrees. — RealityChick

Good on you.

As for her policies, you don’t like em? Don’t vote for her.

I did not fail to grasp the nuanced difference between a Reverend in a pulpit saying, “God Damn America” to his flock and a radio talk show host saying, “Lyda Green is a bitch … and a cancer”. The latter is a deeply personal attack of a female politician with cancer; the former is not. — RealityChick

No. The former is FAR WORSE.

The point is this: Conservatives criticize Obama for not interrupting Wright or walking out of his sermons. But I have yet to hear any conservative criticize Palin for not interrupting the radio talk show host or walking out of the interview. The fact that conservatives have not yet done so is a double standard and hypocritical. If Fox news starts playing Palin’s audio clip repeatedly, then I will retract that statement. Unless and until they do, I stand by it as a clear example of right wing bias in the media. — RealityChick

Possibly because Palin agreed with the talk-radio host’s comments about Lyda Green.

Just like Obama didn’t object when the good Reverend Wright was cursing America and anyone whose skin wasn’t as dark-a-complexion as his. Therefore, by inference, Obama agreed with the good Reverend Wright. After all, he sat through…what….20 YEARS of listening to him.

Don’t ya think? [Note: Well....probably not.....]

I never said women should not be in government if they are conservatives. Please don’t ‘pigeon hole’ me. Do liberals engage in personal attacks and smear campaigns? Absolutely! Do conservatives engage in personal attacks and smear campaigns? Most definitely! Should either side be given a free pass? No! Some liberals on this site seem to enjoy engaging in personal attacks (of candidates and individuals posting comments); some conservatives seem to enjoy doing the same. If you are above it all, then engage in an intelligent discourse – free of all personal attacks – with a moderate rather than simply dismissing all factually-based comments as “nigh unfathomable”. — RealityChick

My mistake on the first sentence. I’ve encountered all too many women here who think that way.

As for classifications, you ‘pigeon-hole’ yourself on abortion. But that’s another topic for another thread.

I do not know the identity of your “Denver Mensa” pen pal. I do find your reference to me as “chick” and your response to “MethodtoMadness” as supposedly female patronizing and misogynistic. But that, too, was YOUR CHOICE. — RealityChick

Thank you for recognizing my freedom of expression in the public venue.

And thank YOU for learning how to break up your over-running paragraphical communications. Something my associate amongst Denver Ms never DID learn.

[Don’t call her a ‘chick’. Broads HATE that.]

P.S. So Lyda Green is a ‘cancer survivor’. What’s the problem? That someone knows she had cancer? Or that she survived?

I tell you the truth, at this moment as I sit here typing this, my mother-in-law is 30 feet down the hallway from me in my house with Stage IV squamous carcinoma of the neck, cheeks, chin and tongue. She looks like someone recent beat her with a hammer on all those parts.

The doctors have told us that they can’t kill it. They can’t even stop it. And I don’t get upset when someone mentions someone has cancer. And I applaud the fact that someone has overcome this dread disease. Such successes should be shouted from the rooftop.

But there’s a difference between having survived cancer and BEING a cancer on society. And taking umbrage about the latter vis-a-vis a bout with the former is the sort of political correctness that IS a ‘cancer on society’.

That’s a good analysis. It could severely stress the electoral system. We could seem some world class electoral game playing that could really shake peoples belief in the system.

It looks like many of these were protest votes that did not change elections, but the potential is there.

Anyway, Looking at the tracking for NH, I don’t think it will go for McCain/Palin. Unless the “Live free or die” folks there have some strong kinship with Alaska’s libertarian ethic that changes things. BTW, I’ve been to NH and really like it there.

I´m asking because my experience is that the reaction is not at all prettier than here. Rather the opposite.

In recent days I have seen incredibly crude comments on Palin that defy belief. Explicit, sexually degrading comments on liberal blogs. It´s what liberals call hate speech when it is applied to people they like. I have occasionally rebuked commenters on conservative blogs over nonsense rumors and so on. But I have never seen anything like this on a conservative blog.

There is NO way NC goes for Obama. None. People crossed over here for Rush’s chaos and had to change registrations for that – so the ratios are off on the polling. There’s going to be a lot of that.

Also Colorado – Palin puts that in play, NM too. Especially if the Obamabots keep calling Alaska a small state or a rural state.
