Why people respect this woman makes no sense to me. (Why can’t she answer even a simple question honestly? If she doesn’t read newspapers, just say so.) My theory is that it’s all about Jesus and abortion. Any politician willing to proclaim they love Jesus and are against abortion will have rabid, uncritical support from one group of the electorate.

I don’t know exactly how you manage it, but somehow you make sex and sexuality boring. Rather like those tedious people on the HBO freak shows who like to blather about how fulfilled they are because they’ll fuck anything that moves, as long as it flogs them first.

No sane person would vote for McCain/Palin. Seriously.

Get your facts right. I can’t believe how many leftists repeat this same thing about rape kits without even checking that it’s been debunked. Why not throw in the plastic turkey as well.

Leftists repeating falsehoods is always fine.
Rabid Right Wing Lunatics who point out actual facts are on a “smear campaign”.

Sheesh.

Bruce, I hope you realize that this kind of ignorant smearing happens on both sides of the political spectrum. However, what you don’t realize, and this is where the irony lies, is that the right-wing has elevated smear and related bullshit to a fine art.

The right-wing has only itself to complain about when their tactics are used against their own flock. Deal with it and shut the fuck up already.

I concur fully with what you said. I’m adding you to my “Blog parents” list, since your appearances in On Our Backs many years ago was a life-changer.

“I took a screenshot so if you censor this I will post the screenshot with date/time on my blog and email a few choice websites the screenshot in case others want to know you censor your comments to try to save face from a screw-up that any real blogger would admit, address, and fix.”

but i think the most interesting part is the way they ignore reality. i visited the slate article that they claim debunks the rape kit myth. however, it doesn’t. it asserts that billing insurance companies is different from billing the victim, ignoring the fact that 20% of alaskans have no insurance. jim pivonka makes a similar point above, pointing out that the incidence of rape in alaska is highest with poorer, native women.

and this is not splitting hairs, someone should find out what the truth is. in the meantime, i think it is fair to say that palin’s executive experience is not worth much if she is not responsible for knowing what her city and state did while she was at the helm. you can’t have it both ways.

Illinois does not charge victims for rape kits. Please check your facts.

Thanks.

In other news, I don’t actually agree with this article. Please stop making sexist attacks on Palin and focus on the issues. She’s spewing enough anti-woman crap there that you should never have to come back to this kind of thing.

Keep up the good work, Suzie — as long as they’re here spitting their bile at you, they’re not out trolling the airport men’s rooms or trying to make time with underage Congressional pages.

Of course, it’s probably just one or two of them, “Freeping” you as they call it. How pathetic, righties… if you can’t find anyone who actually agrees with you, create thirty sock puppets to make it look like your view is something other than fringe right-wing-nuttery.

Justin Rood Reports:

The Alaska Supreme Court will hear an appeal from Republican state lawmakers looking to block their legislature’s investigation into Sarah Palin and “Troopergate,” the Associated Press reported.

A Superior Court judge threw out their suit Thursday, along with a suit filed by the state attorney general which sought to dismiss subpoenas against several Palin aides and administration officials. It is not clear if that attorney general will try to join the appeal, according to the AP.

The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in the appeal next Wednesday, the wire service reported

Rock on, Susie!

Seriously, the sad thing is that these nominal conservatives and their children and grandchildren will suffer no more than the rest of America now that their party has betrayed its principles over the last eight years. There ought to be a special tax levied on Republicans; they do so much damage to our country and to our children and grandchildren.

Meanwhile, more back-up for the factual story about Palin charging rape victims:

Well, will all of you wingnuts promise to consider suicide when Obama wins?

Great article, Susie. Keep up the good work.
