My God in heaven, Clift and her ilk are so clueless. The arrogant, solipsistic elites. Their willfull ignorance is their fatal blindness. Oh, Lordy, are they ever going to pay.
“My God in heaven, Clift and her ilk are so clueless.”
You’re right, she is. She’s come up with a little truth here and there, especially the part about Palin being an alternative to the “elites” that have screwed things up (though, personally, I have no problem with elites. Heck I want to be elite, someday. The problem is our elites suck, and we need new ones). She also throws in a lot of broad stereotypes, and not the true kind of stereotype but the stereotypes akin to how a random conservative might think all liberals are welfare queens/hot-pink haired homos/champagne-sipping New York socialite Jews.
What she misses, and the answer to the article’s real question—i.e. why do right-wing men care about libs’ “sexism” against Palin—is that everyone loves exposing hypocrisy. Do liberals care about Gov. Sanford’s cheating? No. Do they care if Carrie Prejean masturbated on camera? Heck no. But they care that we care. They care that, presumably, the day before their respective scandals broke, Sanford and Prejean probably could have been recorded saying adultery/pornography are sinful.
That’s it. We don’t care, most of us, all that much about sexism. Mostly because we wouldn’t want to be barred from continuing to call Palin “hot”. We do care about liberal media bias, and will carp about it when it’s as blatant as it is in Sarah’s case.
