That got your attention.
I have tried hard not to post this but my patience is spent.
Several weeks ago read a rather strong piece “The Wilding of Sarah Palin” by Robin of Berkeley at American Thinker. In a nutshell she argues that the left is trying to destroy Sarah Palin by symbolically raping her. And in the course of so doing the left shows its true colors.
At the time I thought “oh come on that’s all just a bit much isn’t it”. But the more one pays attention the more one wonders if Robin of Berkeley is correct. Witness this despicable exchange between Larry King and Sarah Silverman:
King: Sarah Palin, what do you think? Sarah Palin? I got to say her name because we have to say it every night.
Silverman: About what? About her posing in Playboy? I think she should go for it.
King: Agreed.
It is not enough for people to say they think Sarah Palin is wrong. No for some reason they find it necessary to say stupid dumb moron b*tch c*nt Barbie who needs to be gang r*ped and would just love to see her naked in Playboy. It is part of a larger pattern that is deeply troubling. The campaign to stop suppress silence marginalize stigmatize deligitimize any and all disagreement with the current federal government. You are a white man who disagrees with President Obama? You must be a raaaaacist. You are a black person who disagrees with Congress? You must be a self-loathing Uncle Tom traitor to your race. You are a woman with a mind and voice of her own who refuses to toe the party line of the left? You are a dumb b*tch with nice b**bs that we would love to see naked.
Try for just one nanosecond to imagine what the reaction would be if people spoke that way about the First Lady. And nobody had better talk that way.
Feel the love. Feel the compassion. Feel the respect for women.
For the record I am neither a fan nor a critic of Sarah Palin. Although I am beginning to appreciate her more precisely because she refuses to be quiet despite the worst depredations of her critics. And I am increasingly concerned about the relentless attacks against her because they represent by extension an effort to take away my own freedom to express and act upon my convictions. What the left is doing to Sarah Palin is what they want to do to everyone who opposes their agenda.
