"Despite her efforts to portray herself as an average, small-town, "folksy" American, Sarah Palin's political views - ardently pro-gun, pro-censorship, antichoice and antigay.....however, (is) these beliefs are not just extreme - they are radical, and even bear a comparison with some of the most notorious "rural radicals" of our time. ......"

Oops..sorry ! Didn’t realize at first it was an attributed remark. :)
She needed to be aborted years ago.
Must be some rough winters where she lives...
GUILTY !!!...Oh, wait...Wrong thread...
Bwahaha! I liked the line:
"...evangelical churches like her family's come dangerously close to those of the Christian Identity movement of those years..."
The only candidate who belongs to a church that I've seen that comes close to these 'Christian Identity churches' (usually consisting of a membership of 20 people -- 16 of which are undercover FBI agents) is Obama, and his tucc megachurch in Chicago. No repentance. No forgiveness. No Christ. All that matters is the color of your skin... On this I agree with this reporter - it is a bad thing... The reporter just ID'd the wrong candidate...
A question for the lesbian who wrote this bs?
Catherine why do all of the lesbians and gays in the media and supposedly professors hate a real woman like Sarah Palin.
Catherine McNicol Stock is chair of the history department at Connecticut College and author of "Rural Radicals: Righteous Rage in the American Grain"
Dear Ms. Stock:
You have an open invitation to come and visit us in Idaho....
Does “she” look like Jack McCoy on “Law & Order” to anybody else?
To those who live on the pavement of big cities and insult their fellow Americans by using terms like “hick”, the arrogance we note in their flop sweat is amusing for now.
However, that may not always be the case.
Call Connecticut College's Buildings & Grounds Department.
They forgot to mow the Professor's eyebrows again.
Take your lying, deceitful hate speech column, Catherine McNicol Stock, and (expletive deleted).
"Hit piece. From a university professor. With two last names. Shocker."
"Al Capone, and John Wayne Gacy were from Chicago. Jeffrey Dahmer was just a few miles away in Milwaukee. Now no one claims that Barak Obama holds those same views so prevalent in his Geographic location, but you never know..... To paraphrase the authors last line...Thus it is high time to review the cultural ideals and models of the radical urbans from the Great Chicago area and find out for sure where Senator Obama stands."
My parents’ church in Louisiana is about 1/3 black. They took in a lot of Katrina ‘victims’ too, BTW. When I lived in the Philly suburbs, I went to several churches, but they were all either all black or all white. The church I eventually chose had a few ‘token’ black people, even though we lived in an area with a large black population. BTW, I have attended churches all over the south, Florida, Alabama, etc., (A of G), and they are always bi-racial down South, but never in the oh so enlightened Northeast.
What cracks me up the most is that most of us in flyover country are proud to be “Hicks”
We still live where there is some common sense and reason.
Neoliberal gals say the darndest things!
