| Please lets avoid using the "B word"... |
|
Edited on Wed Sep-03-08 07:14 PM by 4themind
Just a pre-emptive suggestion since I'm almost certain this speech is going piss a lot of people off (me included), but please let us not use it as an excuse for co-opting words that are associated negatively with females in particular. I didn't think this would be true before this week but, eyes will be on the progressive internet presence, let's give them(repubs/puma's) no more reasons to point fingers (and utilize a "she's the victim" meme that they've been trying. Refutations of her presentation, content will be most welcome though! Thanks!

| 2. Ooooh! Pre-handwringing! Even better than the make-shit-up handwringing of days yore. |

It's awesome when people criticize before anyone does anything wrong. :rofl:

The only thing she could say that would really piss me off is "I am withdrawing from the nomination to the Vice Presidency". Failin is the gift that keeps on giving, and Repukes will likely place the blame for the McCain loss firmly on her, allowing them to make all the same non-Palin screwups again in 2012.

| 9. Sarah Palin didn't object to the b-word when talking about Lyda Green |
|
I won't use the word, but just wanted to point out that Sarah Palin is just fine with it. :patriot:

| 12. I'm sorry, I don't do well with the self-appointed PC police. |

Yep.. the "B-word" is going to come out tonight. You'll need to either ignore it, or come back tomorrow.
