4. i turned it. i have no interest in hearing what a woman who accused
 obama of being a terrorist and all other kinds of things. Personally, I think the kids should be off limits. But then again, bristol palin put herself out there, so should she now be fair game?? I know the parents put her out there. But regardless.... barack obama said the kids should be off limits.... true. For campaigns. See, obama was a candidate, as was palin. and he felt that the campaigns should not go after the kids. But letterman is a comedian, not a politician or talking head. So, I don't know exactly where she was going with that. I can't stand her or hearing any of her tripe. And now that preajan is going to come on and say she got kicked out because of her answer to the question. but if that were true, then trump wouldn't have had a big press conference and say she could stay. they would have just fired her before.

5. Sarah Palin is to 'feminist' as Cheney is to 'pacifist'.
 What an insult. She degrades the cause of women's rights every time she opens her mouth.

No, DUmmies, you are as usual mistaken.  Sarah Palin is to Feminists as the monster was to Dr. Frankenstein.  You said a woman could balance family and still have a career.  She has run a commercial fishing operation, several political campaigns, and held several offices, all successfully, and all while having a family.  Yet, she espouses that she worked to got where she's at.  That she lives those conservative principles that are anethema to you.

You demand that women "have choice".  Her choice was not to murder her child.  Of course, that isn't what you meant.

You complain loudly that her daughter has a child out of wedlock.  While you encourage kids to "experiment".

Sarah Palin is everything the feminists ever dreamed of a woman being, and she scares them to death.  So much like the doctor, they have turned on their creation.  First by trying to turn ordinary people against her, and then by destroying her anyway they can.  I imagine the end will be much the same as the book.  Liberals will find themselves pursuing her across a arctic wasteland, oddly dependent on the sustenance that the object of their hatred leaves for them.

Like all the "victims" the left has they hate one that escapes from their superior (in their mind) control.

"Feminism" to those who invented the term was always narrowly defined to include only certain women who agreed in lock-step.  It's the liberal way.

When I was in high school, we were talking about what we wanted in our future in one of my classes, and I said that someday I would like to be a stay at home mom, and the one girl turned around and accused me of dragging the feminist movement back decades.

Now I'm employed, and I see how hard it is for mothers to leave their kids, especially when they come back from maternity leave.  For most of my co-workers, I think their job is a job they do for money, not a career they do out of love, and it is heartbreaking when you see them and they are sad to be leaving their babies, but they just don't see how they could afford it otherwise :-(

If feminists really wanted women to have a genuine choice, they they would encourage home economic classes in high school to teach kids to budget their finances, which would help women see if there is a way to afford to stay home if they want to, rather than banning the classes (like they did at my high school) for being sexist.

Celtic, they BANNED home ec?  Jesus, how stupid.  In my school, they kept it, but encouraged the boys to join.  Some of the more confident ones did (such as class clowns and the sort).  They did it for the chicks.  Course, the femmy boys wouldn't touch home ec with a ten foot pole. 

That post by ejpoeta......whew.  Imagine the creature saying this out loud.  This would be called "diarreha of the mouth."  As gross as that phrase is.  Oh the stupid, it burns.

I went to an all girl high school.  We had a marriage class, that everybody wanted to take because it was fun, but they actually dropped that class the year after I graduated too.  So stupid 

My French teacher was the former home ec teacher, and she said that they refused to let her teach it.  She said she would teach us to change a tire and check our oil as well as cook and sew on buttons, but no go.

How would they have felt if letterman had been talking about one of the Obama daughters?

Exactly.
