“where the gray-scale crowd of totalitarian-oppressed automatons watch a dictator lecture them on the giant viewscreen, when suddenly a beautiful young woman burst onto the screen - pursued by stormtroopers - and destroys the entire hypocritical fraud that is the regime”
I always thought that commercial was the highth of hypocracy. After all, it was Apple (who ran the ad) which did not allow any freedom in tailoring the system. Apple was the one who said this is all you can have/do. The mean evil ‘dictator’ (IBM) was the one who gave the computer user the freedom to mix and match components.
But to the point of your post. There were only one reason the feminists opposed Palin and that was abortion.
I won’t comment regarding your difference with Apple and the ad (and by the way, the ad I actually use is the political version that features Hillary Clinton as “Madame Big Brother.”
But I will respond to your conclusion: “But to the point of your post. There were only one reason the feminists opposed Palin and that was abortion.”
A LOT of Republican politicians oppose abortion. So why did they just go after Sarah Palin? And you can’t say it was because of her VP run, because it just went on and on even after the election.
Now Sarah Palin has stepped down, and they found a NEW target - and lo and behold - the EXACT same sort of target: an attractive Republican WOMAN.
I believe that there is no question at all that they are singling out and attacking intelligent, well-spoken conservative women because they represent a threat to “NOW-feminist Democrats.”
