Who's Being Sexist? Right, Palin's Fans.

Gov. Palin and Sen. McCain's campaign have spent so much time lately arguing about the sexist coverage and criticism of Sarah Palin that one can't help but wonder if all this is just stalling for time while she learns enough about foreign policy to be able to actually engage reporters and the public.

But if the campaign is going to complain about the supposedly rampant sexist coverage of Palin, then they should also work to undermine the sexism rampant in their own base. Although these people might be among the biggest supporters of Palin's bid for the VP, they do more to sexualize and discriminate against her based on her sex than does the media any day of the week.  I think these pictures can say more than I can for proof. Enjoy.

This one is my personal favorite. Female fans of Palin dressing themselves up in toy red lips, thus accentuating her most important quality (or qualification?).



But let's not forget the bumper stickers being put out by some fans... "Vice President I'd Like to..." well, you know. And since Hillary got a nutcracker doll made of her, why shouldn't Sarah Palin enjoy some schoolgirl action?

Yeah, try again about who's actually perpetuating the sexist coverage of your candidate.

SARAH PALIN IS A 'PHONY MOM & POLITICIAN!'. Simply because...SHE DIDN'T EVEN 'BLINK OR CARE' she is leaving a 'special needs' child behind, with a pregnant teenager to take care of it, and her other two daughters to fend for themselves when daddy is on the trail too! DID SHE EVEN DISCUSS THE OFFER WITH HER HUSBAND? so much for her 'christian belief', the bible says the husband is the HEAD of the family! goes to show it's all about HER!

it happens every day in allot of homes, with moms who have to juggle between family and an 8 hour shift, but there's one difference..their not running for office! she is a poor example of a mother! whatever happened to 'sterilization', birth control pills, or family planning? 44 and unprotected sex?? really irresponsible!

secondly, she has no experience or has any idea what the job demands, is contrary to john Mc Cain on 'many issues', and is lying, repeating her lies NON-STOP!
I also hate the fact she doesn't give SQUAT about the environment! Especially her comments during her convention speech! quote referring to Obama; what exactly is our opponent's plan? What does he actually seek to accomplish, after he's done turning back the waters and healing the planet? she isn't even aware ALASKA'S ice cap IS MELTING ALL AROUND HER! and what's wrong with HEALING THE PLANET anyway? we're doing a lousy job of protecting it don't we! All she really cares about is lying, defaming others, hunting, and being in the 'spotlight'.
I'm a Hillary supporter who accepts Joe Biden, and i see clearly how 'phony she is'.

Look at her POOR record of protecting wildlife! LET THE GUNS BLAZE! DECLARE OPEN SEASON ON THE POLAR BEARS, MOOSE, CARIBOU, AND WOLVES! WHAT'S NEXT!? SHOOTING SOMEONE IN THE FOOT? LIKE DICK CHANEY shot someone in the face? DON'T TRUST HER AMERICA! I DON'T FOR-SURE!!
