On Palin’s Gender Card & The Real McCain
Posted on September 5, 2008
just saw this and thought it was amusing.
Personally? I’m having trouble taking Palin seriously, not because she’s a woman, but because McCain choosing her is such obvious and overt pandering to all the female Clinton voters who are supposedly so horribly upset that their candidate didn’t get on the ticket. That and the fact that her stands on women’s issues like reproductive freedom are positively medieval. Fact is, Sarah Palin is to the Feminist movement what Amos & Andy are to the Civil rights movement. She’s an obstacle to be overcome at best. She’s not interested in standing up for working-class women’s rights anymore then Colin Powel or Condoleeza Rice (or Obama, for that matter) are interested in standing up for the rights of poor and working class black folks. At the end of the day she’s just another braindead puppet of the patriarchal chistrian right, nothing more or less.
