I am a die-hard advocate for women's rights
Hell, from the looks of her I thought it was animal rights.

Sandra Bernhard is "terribly upset" to be dropped from a woman's shelter fundraiser following her controversial comments about US vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
The comedienne allegedly shocked fans at a show in Washington D.C. last month when she said that Palin would be gang-raped if she ever set foot in New York.
According to reports, the star said the Alaskan Governor could expect to be "gang-raped by my big black brothers" during the on-stage rant aimed at pro-life Palin, who has said she opposes abortion in cases of rape and incest.
Organisers for Rosie's Place shelter in Boston, Massachusetts subsequently dropped Bernhard from their forthcoming benefit gala, stating: "In light of our mission, we don't think violence against women is a laughing matter."
However, Bernhard insists the shocking comments were taken out of context.
She explains: "In no way am I making any sort of joke about crimes against women - quite the contrary. I'm speaking out about someone who doesn't do enough to protect women.
"I think if you look at the real issues I'm addressing, my intent becomes clear. I am a die-hard advocate for women's rights, and fully support the work of Rosie's Place."
Unless that woman is someone you disagree with...
When she dies fighting for Palin’s rights, I’ll believe her.
What a moron.
No pictures please.
She also ranted about Christians stealing “her Book” meaning the Old Testament.
Sandra Bernhard is a very stupid, materialistic person. She would do or say anything for fame and attention. Now she’s saying her vitriolic comments were ‘taken out of context.’
Only people stupid enough to follow you will believe that one, Sandy.
“I’m speaking out about someone who doesn’t do enough to protect women. “
And since Bernhard doesn’t think Palin does enough, she should be gang raped.
Hey, what’s the problem?
She is a dumb ass. She is getting exactly what she deserves.
forgot how ugly she is.

Another liberal who let her big mouth overload her wide @$$. I’m not buying her crap that she just got caught up in Palin Derangement Syndrome.
In related news: 'Turds still stink'.

Boo frickin’ hoo.
Oh Boo-Hoo. The Big Mouth is feeling a widdle sting because she is not used to being held responsible for her comments. She can go straight to ____ (hollywood!)
Oh....wait....Mrs. Eagle tells me that's the way her face always looks.
Never mind.
That there is an ugly woman...inside and out.
