I'm mad as hell and I'm tired of being polite.

[yardwork]

Barack Obama is running a highly ethical, decent campaign. I'm not Barack Obama, though, and I've had it up to here with the Republican's filthy nasty underhanded lying weaselly scumbag campaigning. I've had it with the filthy corporate-owned media's collusion in these lies. I've had it with being pitifully grateful everytime some media whore actually makes some minor, insignificant nod toward fairness and actual journalistic integrity.

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.

John McCain is a doddering fool whose brain has been taken over by subhuman mutants. Together they are the ticket from hell, designed to take us to hell, and I'm not going to keep my powder dry or be quiet or be polite or God forbid not say anything that might be construed as sexist!!!!! ohnoes!!!

[knowbody0]

1. you just made me feel good

thanks, yardwork. i feel the same way. just the tone of her voice puts me in a rage.

[yardwork]

3. Yeah, that too. Her voice is sarcastic, condescending, and mean.

And I'm tired of her shaking my finger at me, too. She can take that finger and shove it.

[niyad]

6. and that "thumb up" gesture is so childish.

[yardwork]

9. It reminds me of the photos from Abu Ghraib. Thumbs up for torture.

Thumbs up for hunting wolves from helicopters. Thumbs up for extinguishing polar bears from the surface of the earth. Thumbs up for shooting baby wolves in the face.

[nichomachus]

77. Sarah Palin = Lyndie England in a parka

[deaniac21]

78. Reminds me of.....

http://media.ohio.com/images/270*382/bclinton+in+canton+03.jpg



She stole it from the Clintons.....

[Fire1]

19. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!!!!

CONDESCENDING, IS THE WORD!!! I can't stand her!

[yardwork]

28. Welcome to DU!

[tblue]

35. CONDESCENDING! Yes, that's it. She's talking down to ALL OF US.

[yardwork]

41. And she doesn't know what she's talking about.

Despite her pretense at being some great executive, she has little or no experience. She doesn't know a damn thing about the world. She thinks global warming is a liberal myth. She thinks she has "foreign policy experience" because her state is next to Russia??!

[Sequoia]

27. Her voice drives me up a wall too.

She reminds me of the adults around me as a child. They'd preach God on one hand, and terrorize the kids they took care of at night...or seduce them if they were older. Seeing her brings all that back and I hate it. I feel sorry for her children, especially that little daughter.

[JuniperLea]

25. She is "Shrill" to McCain's "Unhinged"

We should be calling them Shrill and Unhinged!

[niyad]

2. I gave up being polite decades ago--when, as we were fighting to get the ERA ratified, we

were told to be "ladylike" or the boys would get mad at us.

if someone doesn't like the truth, that person can just go away. I will NOT be silenced.

[yardwork]

5. We see where being ladylike got us with the ERA.

Those suffragettes weren't ladylike. It's time to take to the streets again.

[niyad]

10. I have thought that for years. have you ever seen "Iron-Jawed Angels"?

I think that, and "Shoulder to Shoulder" should be required in every history class.

[yardwork]

14. I haven't seen them. I'll check them out. Thanks for the tip.

[H2O Man]

4. Well,

that is still kind of polite.

[yardwork]

7. LOL!

Touche!

It's worse than Auntie Em said about Miss Gulch.

[H2O Man]

13. Still,

both you and I could say far, far, far worse about them. And it would be true.

[az chela]

8. Wow this is so RIGHT ON.I agree totally

You go girl,we need more people that express their feelings and screw this nicey nice shit

[yardwork]

12. Thanks.

[eleny]

11. I'm pretty much there in anger today as well

On the way home from the dentist I was listening to Randi. So, Palin is going to do a photo shoot with Vogue, is she? Too busy to to work up an inclination to meet with the press and be asked questions from all quarters?

Oh, and she's a big tax cutter. But I also learned from Gloria Steinhem's letter about Palin that Alaska has no sales tax and no income tax. So Jesus K Rist, yardwork, I want her to go down and go down big.

Edited to add a brag that I gave you your 5th rec. Get thee to the Greatest!

[smb]

26. This Is Why She Has No Real Executive Experience

Alaska runs on drilling royalties and federal subsidies. Politicians in Alaska simply don't have to make the sort of tough fiscal choices about taxinig and spending as politicians in the rest of the country.

Palin's claim of "executive experience" is as lacking as the "life experience" of a teenager who lives off Mummy and Daddy's credit cards.

[mokawanis]

15. I love the fighting spirit here

The people pitted against us don't give a rat's ass about us so there's no reason to play nice. Take off the gloves and hit them as hard as you can. Get active, donate money, and don't ever give up fighting the assholes. Down with the Palinists and fuck McSame.

[az chela]

17. This is what it is going to take to WIN

These people dont make nice and they deserve to be squashed like a bug

[Cha]

16. Yeah, it's too bad when the facts are

considered "not polite".

:toast: :patriot:

[yardwork]

20. The facts concerning the Republicans are decidedly "not polite."

It's "not polite" to talk about politics or religion at the dinner table, but unfortunately that's where they've got us. Right by the short hairs. We better get over our delicate sensibilities and start talking about religion and politics because the Republicans are taking us down with them.

[nam78_two]

30. Exactly-it is the kind of "politeness"

that decrees that for instance we shouldn't say that those people in "Jesus Camp" (the adults) are fucking nuts!
No they are just nice people with slightly different views from ours and we will never reach out to them unless we are "respectful" enough of their crazy beliefs. If we aren't "respectful" enough then we are being "elitist".
And now Jesus Camp Barbie could be our president-it is insane. The whole world thinks we are insane.

Never before has reality's liberal bias been more in evidence than in this increasingly surreal election of ours. Yet here, a lot of people out there have swallowed Faux Noise's "Fair and Balanced" Kool Aid-it is pathetic.

[yardwork]

38. Comment from a coworker at lunch today - everyone has their own opinions.

I said, "Well, their opinions are wrong." Look of shocked disapproval. I said, "Hey, these people want to change the Constitution of the United States to outlaw any religion except theirs. They want to overturn all the principles on which our country was founded to impose their own views as law."

I went on to say, "I don't care what religion they follow. Everyone in the U.S. has the right to follow their own religion. That's the point. That's what they're trying to take away from us."

My coworker had no response to that. She is, however, horrified by Palin and planning to vote for Obama.

[nam78_two]

18. Now tell us how you really feel

"She's the whore of Babylon, drinking the blood of saints.

John McCain is a doddering fool whose brain has been taken over by subhuman mutants. Together they are the ticket from hell, designed to take us to hell, and I'm not going to keep my powder dry or be quiet or be polite or God forbid not say anything that might be construed as sexist!!!!! ohnoes!!!"

:spray: Awesome and spot on..
We have way too many concern trolls on this forum telling us to go easy on the Lame and Pain campaign and I am sick of it.

[yardwork]

24. The whore of Babylon is straight from Book of Revelation.

Tell me this doesn't describe Sarah Palin:

The “great whore” of the biblical book of Revelation is featured in chapters 17 and 18. Many passages define symbolic meanings inherent in the text:

17:5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
17:6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.

[JuniperLea]

36. Palin clearly doesn't know scripture...

This would go right over her head with a great big "whoosh"!

Tell me one place in the Bible where Jesus told us to hate people! Show me one place where Jesus said we should FORCE people to follow his laws!

If God wanted to force us to do anything, he would have! Instead, he gave us free will. Palin and her blasphemous ilk are fucking over GOD! Who the hell do they think they are? Do they think God made a mistake by not forcing us into anything? Do they think God made a mistake by making brown people and gay people? Do they think God makes men RAPE AND IMPREGNATE women so a baby will be born?

They are fucking sick!

Thanks for making my blood boil, yardwork! You really know you are alive when your blood boils! LOL!!!

[yardwork]

42. That's why she makes me think of the Whore of Babylon. She's the opposite of Jesus.

[closeupready]

21. And you are 100% entitled to that opinion and to state it.

And nobody has the right to take that from you, EVER. :applause:

[tekisui]

22. ALRIGHT!

:applause:

I feel the same way. The lies and exploitations by the reptilian pukes is disgusting. They stand on the heads of the American People, and lie to them with contempt and ease. They are scum of the earth.

[JuniperLea]

23. "She's the whore of Babylon, drinking the blood of saints. "

Love it! As a woman, I am offended by the kid gloves! As a woman, if I were running for VPOTUS, I would want to be treated exactly like the men are treated! Anything less is sexist coddling! I don't need coddled, dammit! And Sarah shouldn't need coddled either!

Where are the fucking debates? We are in the final weeks before the election, and WE THE PEOPLE have a RIGHT to hear ALL of the candidates speak WITHOUT A TELEPROMPTER!!!

[yardwork]

33. That line about the whore of Babylon is straight from the Book of Revelation.

When Sarah Palin mocked Barack Obama for being a community organizer when he was 23 years old, I felt like she was defiling everything that is good and decent about our country. I've intensely disliked her since that moment. I have a strong personal loathing of her.

[nam78_two]

50. There is a certain resemblance (Dial-Up warning)

;)

[JuniperLea]

54. LOL!!! Good call! eom

[RiverStone]

29. Best rant of the day!

A perfect mix of anger and eloquence. :applause:

Thanks for sharing.

[yardwork]

44. Thank you!

[MadrasT]

31. Woot!

The day after her big RNC speech, an "on the fence" friend of mine said he though she did a great job.

I went off. "You have to be kidding me!!! WTF!!! She's a damn lying whore!!!" :grr:

"Friend" was offended and called me out for talking smack about her. Then I spent the next 3 days educating him as to why I perceive her to be so dangerous and frankly, insulting to me as an intelligent white female.

I stand by my statement. She's a damn lying whore. "Friend" (who is a genuine friend) can eat mooseturds for all I care, if he's going to support that @#@)#$)#!!! ARGH!!! There are NO WORDS FOR HOW ANGRY HER NOMINATION MAKES ME!#@(*#@#@($&# SO MAD I'M GOING TO CANVASS THIS WEEKEND FOR OBAMA!!!!!

:blush: Sorry, rant off :blush:

Did I mention how angry I am? :nuke:

[MadrasT]

32. Oh yeah! Another thing!!! K&R!!! n/t

[tblue]

34. Yardwork, you are my spiritual twin!

What I am feeling is BEYOND rage!

As a mother, a suburban housewife with a fucking MBA, a homeowner, a daughter of a disabled immigrant woman, and a DAMNED PROUD LIBERAL, I have had it up to HERE with the media telling me this HEARTLESS, LYING REINDEER-SHOOTING, ANTI-WOMAN CHRISTIAN SUPREMACIST, who got knocked up before she herself was married, who only got a passport last year and NEVER MET A MUSLIM PERSON IN HER LIFE should be giving the power to possibly decide WHO WILL FILL THE NEXT VACANCY OF THE FUCKING SUPREME COURT.

John McCain has been PUSSYWHIPPED into submission by his own party and his desperate, pathetic sense of self-importance. They have rendered him and all he ever thought he stood for totally irrelevant. And this chick will fuck him over and bite off his little monochrome head the first chance she gets, like a DAMNED BLACK WIDOW SPIDER!

[yardwork]

45. Oh that's really good! We need more of this!

I wish I could recommend your post! And there are so many other excellent ones here!

[CTyankee]

37. Yep, I'm too old to give a crap any more. I've got 3 granddaughters and 1 grandson and

I'll be goddamned if I'm gonna let them down!

Nobody gets off the hook in this election, AFAIC. NOBODY.

[girl gone mad]

39. How could you be so mean?

Sarah Palin is the greatest living human who ever lived at any time. In a million years, people will still be talking about this amazing woman. The convention speech, alone, has cemented her historical legacy right beside such equals as Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan and Martin Luther King, Jr.

;)

[yardwork]

46. That reminds me that Fred Thompson ACTUALLY SAID that she's the greatest success story in politics.

He actually said that.

[MadrasT]

51. OK, well then FUCK Fred Thompson with a caribou antler

:grr: :grr: :grr:

[Arugula Latte]

55. Ewww -- You said "Ronald Reagan"

x(

I know you were being sarcastic, but "Reagan" is a dirty word. It shouldn't be next to Lincoln or King's name, not in a million years.

[President Decider]

40. The Whore of Babylon ..... I like it, in fact, I can already see the bumpersticker!

[yardwork]

49. Please...help yourself!

[hamsterjill]

43. She is a bitch!

And thank you for saying it!

[yardwork]

47. She really is. And I say that as a feminist.

[hamsterjill]

52. Feminist here, too.

And *I* don't think that Palin qualifies as a feminist!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

48. You've just said what we are all thinking!

[donco6]

53. Couldn't agree more. n/t

[jimlup]

56. I share your anger and indegnation!

Welcome to DU :)

[yardwork]

57. LOL! Thank you!

[Forkboy]

58. I think I love you.

:applause:

[yardwork]

60. I love you too, Forkboy!

[TheKentuckian]

59. The Republicans are threat #1 to America

They deserve no quarter, they must be stopped as surely as an invading army, EVERYTHING we value absolutely depends on repelling their assault on America.

We must do whatever it takes to bring them down. It was the Republicans who took civil discourse off the table in their greed for absolute power and their permanent majority strategies.

The time for soft and considerate words is over and no options can be left off the table.

Bring them down!!!

[yardwork]

61. Thank you to everyone who responded and recommended this thread!

It made me feel better to vent!

[AspenRose]

62. They think we're stupid.

Righteous rant :thumbsup:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

63. Bitch seems too kind...

People don't like a bitch, but they tend to respect one....snarling teeth, and all. I look at her and think "Now there's a skanky c-word if ever there was one." There's nothing better than a sexist word to describe a woman who hates women.

[yardwork]

71. Good point.

[DuaneBidoux]

64. Now if Obama will finally realize that he is up against these kind of "people"

[ClarkUSA]

65. Brava!! We could do with an encore tomorrow and everyday after that until Nov. 4.

Enough with the Palin PC Police. :eyes:

[Fox Mulder]

66. You're absolutely right.

67. hear hear...

68. thank you, I needed that.

[ChiciB1]

70. As A Female I Think I HAVE More "Bite" Than "Bark" & Just WISH

our candidates would BITE a little harder. Being above the fray, while getting sucked into Pig Lipstick doesn't show me much! I want to see some PUSH BACK from Obama.

MSM is killing him from what I hear, always pounding home the point of "why isn't Obama doing this, or that, or using the Clinton's more"? I doubt anyone hear can argue with the fact that whether MSM is NUTS, one-sided, corporatist or whatever... THESE PEOPLE are the ones talking to MOST Americans! And MOST Americans believe what they are hearing as the WALK by their TV, and then sit down after dinner and watch something like, oh I don't know what women watch, but men watch SPORTS!

And yes, I am a woman but I don't really know what "regular" women watch, sorry but I watch a lot of alternative TV and read books. While I STOPPED watching MSM for a very long time, I have tuned in since SARAH and all I'm hearing is how SHE CONNECTS with regular women.... who had daughters who got pregnant, yatty, yatty, yatty! They simply threw out those "moral values" the Repukes harped on for so long and are giving her a pass!!!

PLUS, it seems even all the stuff she LIED about is insignificant to them! I'm really "pissed" at what I'm seeing and hearing, and even MANY here say Sarah has so much crap behind her.... the longer they keep her under raps, the easier it's going to be for McCain! If they know NOTHING more than they do now, she's QUEEN Sarah and that's that! And there are far too many out there who don't give a rat's ass what she may or may not have done!

PROVE ME WRONG!! From what your friends and neighbors are saying, not just us here at DU! My Democratic friends are thinking just like I am!! Sorry, but TRUE!!!

[codjh9]

73. I couldn't agree more! The last 8 years have made me cuss like a motherfuckin' MARINE!

I didn't used to nearly as much before. If I had a dollar for every time I've called Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld/Rush/Coulter/Newt/Gramm/Ashcroft/Inhofe/Helms/etcetcetcetc a f-ing a-hole, I'd be rich! :^)

[windoe]

74. I absolutely think it is our duty not to be 'deferential'

to potential/or public servants, since by doing so we would agree to be THEIR servants! These particular candidates' sense of entitlement, combined with having nothing constructive to offer, is most infuriating!!

Yes--- these are times for the strongest most potent satire, the most biting sarcasm and the harshest language and irony to help bring truth to light!!!!

[samuraiguppy]

75. yardwork

you are too cool! This is a great thread--everyone here sees things so clearly!

[Ichingcarpenter]

76. I like how you think
