Brigitte Bardot slams Palin as a 'disgrace to women'


PARIS (AFP) — French film legend-turned-activist Brigitte Bardot took a swipe at Sarah Palin on Tuesday, saying the US vice presidential candidate was a disgrace to women.

"I hope you lose these elections because that would be a victory for the world," Bardot wrote in an open letter to Republican John McCain's running mate in the November vote.

"By denying the responsibility of man in global warming, by advocating gun rights and making statements that are disconcertingly stupid, you are a disgrace to women and you alone represent a terrible threat, a true environmental catastrophe," wrote Bardot.

The screen icon from the 1960s, who now heads an animal rights foundation, went on to assail Palin for supporting Arctic oil exploration that could jeopardize delicate animal habitats and for dismissing measures to protect polar bears.

"This shows your total lack of responsibility, your inability to protect or simply respect animal life," Bardot wrote.

In a final salvo against Palin, the 74-year-old ex-star picked up on Palin's depiction of herself as a pitbull wearing lipstick and said she "implored" her not to compare herself to dogs.

"I know them well and I can assure you that no pitbull, no dog, nor any other animal for that matter is as dangerous as you are," Bardot wrote.

Failin'

4. Great letter...from a great woman

[lunatica]

7. Now there's a beauty who did something quite extraordinary with her life

I'm old enough to remember her when she was the sex goddess to end all sex goddesses. I must say, I love the way she took her life back. No wimpiness in her. And she can sure get to the point on Palin!

[BrklynLiberal]

16. I remember her too. She has not relied on her previous beauty to make a place for herself in the

world.

5. I believe that Brigitte

has made racist remarks in the past and been criticized for them. She has been outspoken against Muslims in France.

6. UGA is offended too!

I went to Georgia Tech but even I wouldn't say such a vile thing about a bulldog as to compare it to Sarah Palin...

Sorry UGA!!

9. But, but UGA's beautiful! Not like Palin at all

Why UGA doesn't even need lipstick!

8. Brigitte Bardot is AGAINST INTERRACIAL MARRIAGE!

Please stop praising her.

In 2003, she published a book entitled 'A Scream in the Silence', that brought more accusations of both anti-Muslim and anti-gay bigotry. She denounced interracial marriage, called homosexuals "fairground freaks" and assaulted the government for being over-generous to the unemployed and to immigrants.

14. We can disagree strongly with her on her homophobia, but still agree

wholeheartedly on her environmental and animal rights. She's right about Palin.

11. Bravo Bridget

"By denying the responsibility of man in global warming, by advocating gun rights and making statements that are disconcertingly stupid, you are a disgrace to women and you alone represent a terrible threat, a true environmental catastrophe," wrote Bardot.

Perfect.

12. take that Miss Winky !

...sadly Bardot is also known for her racist and anti-gay statements.

[ColbertWatcher]

13. There is absolutely nothing sexier than a French woman calling a fascist stupid! n/t

15. Do a little research on Brigitte Bardot Please.

Just because she said something witty against another woman that we all hate, she is not much better. SHE IS AGAINST MUSLIMS AND GAYS. She has been accused of inciting racial hatred. I can't believe you all are praising her!

[BrklynLiberal]

17. I only new of her support for animal rights. I did not know about her other

hatreds. Too bad. It is sad for her.

[lunatica]

18. So in your opinion she does no right?

Unfortunately she's a racist and homophobic. But she's also an active environmentalist and animal rights advocate. That is what she attacking Palin for. And no matter how much you or anyone dislikes certain things about her there is room for some agreement on some subjects. Palin being one of them.

The Right are the party of black and white.
