Ugh. I’ve been saving these for a while since I had so little time for blogging.
All you have to do is read through them, one by one, to get an absolute belly full of how sexist a place DemocraticUnderground really is. These had all been allowed to stand at the time I plucked them, and I’ll bet they’re all sill there:
I Masturbated To Sarah Palin (John McCain Ad)
(Hah! after all the lurid comments that were allowed to stand in this thread, ya have to wonder what on earth got Post #12 in this thread deleted? Given DU’s dedication to misogyny, I can only assume someone calling out the whole thread for it virulent misogynism.)
Does she not look like she’s playing with herself?
Here’s someone who thinks blaming the victim for her own sexist treatment is somehow appropriate — as if she were the one doing that anyway (all I’ve seen is from the campaign and their surrogates):
14. Gak! The ‘Ho From The Snow strikes again. That’s right, I said ” ‘HO “… If she’s going to cry “Sexism!” every time someone questions her glaringly bad judgment, I’m not going to feel at all badly when actually serving a little up. Choke on it, Sarah.
and of course, someone has to go after the child:
Bristol won’t have to drive as far for those one nighters
I don’t know how sexist this essay by the prolific NanceGreggs is, but it’s patronizing and that’s usually considered sexist. I don’t think talking down to Palin really works that well, at least not on an extended basis. I hope Nance can get her nose back down after all this verbiage. Here’s How It Goes, Sweetie
aviationPro shows his age, I guess, along with his sexism:
Sarah Palin is every Amway distributor’s wife….
scheming daemons answers the question, “What’s the difference between Palin and Cheney?” this way: I’d like to f*** Palin…. but Cheney is too busy f***ing me……
Palin is such an incredibly stupid vapid bitch
(I’m Thinkin’ ‘Bout Nailin’) Sarah Palin
From our sexist friend, TahitiNut, the one who along with nearly every other male on the planet thinks he’s NOT a sexist: Well, if you put lipstick on a rabid dog in heat, it’s still a bitch.
The voice! That should be enough to end the Palin Pander.
Surprise, surprise, here’s a whole thread which uses a serious opening post about Palin to chock it full of comments about her looks, her desirability, etc.
Here’s one of their Sorry Sisters, as i call them — women who ought to know better resorting to sexism themselves: As a woman, a lesbian, a pagan, a socialist, and a FEMINIST I’ve had it with listening to fatuous crap about Sarah Palin. I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to hide it anymore. If I want to call that bitch yes I called her a bitch any name in the book I’ll do it! She’s the whore of Babylon, drinking the blood of saints.
Nauseous enough yet?
A quick comment about the repeat offender TahitiNut: He habitually redefines sexism and feminism to suit himself. That way, his comments, no matter how obnoxious, are somehow never sexist, and everyone who calls him sexist isn’t really a feminist.
I truly don’t understand how he has avoided getting banned from DU.
Friends in high places, both moderators and admin.
Another stunning insight from my friend. I may not always comment, but I always appreciate your comments tremendously.
What I actually find amusing about TahitiNut is how he squeals like a stuck pig, and how loudly. What I find less amusing is that he has often been successful getting others’ criticisms of him removed as “personal attacks” when they’re nothing of the sort. Talk about thin skinned! Whew!
