Palin action figure raises objections
MSNBC ^

Posted on 09/12/2008 3:31:23 AM PDT by jakerobins

If the interest in Sarah Palin’s eyeglasses is any indication, the Oxford, Conn., company making her action figure will be inundated with requests. But not everyone is amused.

HeroBuilders.com has made three action figures of the Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate.

The figures include the Sarah Palin business figure, complete with glasses, a suit and her hair pulled back in a bun. The Sarah Palin hero action figure looks like something from the movie “The Matrix,” with a long black coat opened to show a gun holster on the thigh.

But it is the Sarah Palin School Girl that is raising eyebrows. In the risqué doll, she dons a red bra and a short skirt.

Kathleen Angco-Vieweg, an assistant professor of sociology at American International College in Springfield, Mass., denounced the dolls as sexist.

“If [a woman is] pretty, the only power they have is to turn on a man instead of using their brains and intellect,” Angco-Vieweg said. “She is the governor of Alaska, so she obviously has the brains to run those laws and governance.”

Because no one would buy the Dianne Feinstein action figure

That would not be an action figure, it would be just a doll.

-Ugly like a Cabbage Patch doll.

I don’t know if the folk who make the action figures have made one of Angelina Jolie in one of her roles, and I don’t have a clue hot to post the photo of Palin with the gun on her hip, but seems to me a side by side positioning of the two, Angelina (this is an idea I can really get behind and I’m sure most of the male freepers would agree!!!) and the Palin action figure may raise an awareness in the dim and feeble recesses in the cavernous Swiss cheese thought processes of some of the women in the world who jump up and down about choice and abortion, and back those in the culture of death who promote the idea, while simultaneously negating the choice to keep and bear arms.

Action figures need folk to rescue. Maybe some of the deceased, the couple of women from DC who were raped and murdered after dialing 911, killings that seemed to have little effect on the mindset of those who don’t see a “choice” in keeping and bearing of arms.

“I bought original, real guns of the type we used in ‘Tomb Raider’ for security. Brad and I are not against having a gun in the house, and we do have one…if anybody comes into my home and tries to hurt my kids, I’ve no problem shooting them.” Actress Angelina Jolie, as told to the UK Daily Mail
