Now the nitwit is defending Dr Laura...:rolleyes:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/08/18/sarah-palin-supports-dr-laura_n_687148.html

Joan Walsh, writing on Salon, pointed out that Palin was tweeting about feminists just hours before "embracing the anti-feminist traditional-values preacher Dr. Laura." (Incidentally, Dr. Laura was never a big fan of Palin.) Walsh then went after the sentiment and historical context of Palin's latest comments:

It's scary to think we just had a vice presidential nominee who doesn't understand the Constitution, who thinks Schlessinger's First Amendment rights "ceased 2exist" because she was criticized for haranguing a black woman who called for advice, using the word "great person" 11 times. Again, Gov. Palin, the First Amendment protects us from government infringing on our speech rights; it doesn't take away other Americans' right to criticize.

This isn't the first time a Palin tweet related to the First Amendment has generated controversy. Last month, she called on Muslims to "refudiate" Park 51's construction of Cordoba House, the so-called "Ground Zero Mosque."

That was followed by a series of tweets directed toward President Barack Obama, acknowledging that the Muslim group has the right to build ... "but should they?"

Palin acknowledged Park 51's rights. She acknowledged Dr. Laura's rights. She questioned Park 51's wisdom. So far, she hasn't questioned Dr. Laura's wisdom.

Dr. Laura's actions -- ending her show -- may have said more than Palin's words. And maybe even "refudiated" them.

I don't mind that she defended Dr. Laura, I just find it sad that she so clearly doesn't understand what 1st amendment rights are.

har har, the self loathing, cowardly misogynists out to destroy a woman actually standing up for something productive.

you can't be serious.

if there is any single figure out there doing everything possible to discredit women, it is sarah fucking palin. this is not debatable.

I think Sarah Palin is a good woman with a bright future. But we would rather destroy than build, berate not congratulate, etc.

This is what happens when you take moral teaching out of schools, you have the smelly garbage that we call public education.

she deserves no such congratulations, no such building. You're promoting Forrest Gump, and the sad thing is, you're too fucking stupid to realize it.

Sarah Palin went through what...6 "universities?" what the fuck kind of education is that? And morlas, relaly? holy wtf. you try to link morals to her after everything that is known about this steaming hypocrites personal life.

for fucks sake, I truly didn't think you people were real, but now I'm almost embarrassed to consider myself an American, knowing that some of us out there TRULY BELIEVE that she is worthy of some merit.

whatever, I truly hope, though, that you dipshits nominate her as republican or 3rd party to run for president. The blood bath will result in the absolute end of whatever party is dumb enough to think this is a good idea.

You idiots have no idea that someone like her depends on independent votes. The thing is, independents are the smartest of the bunch, and are far more offended by her circus antics than any ultra lefty feminazi, or whatever boogeyman keeps you up at night.

He added: "Would these library lovers allow me to set up a stall next to the Smithsonian Museum and start selling DVDs of bible cartoons as long as it was in accordance with local regulations?

"Oh they would? I see. So is that why they're better than me?"

:D

The title of the article/link really contained the entire joke. Or at least the good part of it. I laughed when I read the title, didn't really find more laughs inside the article unfortunately. Good joke idea that they implemented poorly.

Also Sarah Palin is pretty much retarded. I don't see how Palin could ever claim to support feminist rights when she doesn't even want women to have a right to choose.

So, Ray Bradbury spends his days watching Fox News.

Isn't that interesting? the man who gave us the dystopian world that showed the dangers of censorship and forced illiteracy, today fills his brain with the ravings of a network that hosts people like Sarah Palin--the walking, breathing embodiment of illiteracy and unabashed ignorance! The Glen Becks that would censor the least bit of "offense." :D

"How is she going to feel knowing that every day there are people going inside a building to find things out for themselves and have thoughts, right in the very shadow of her amazing nipples."

Well, he is old as hell, gotta give him a pass on that one. Probably can't think straight at this point.
