The Obama/Palin Double Standard

See that picture? It reads "Sarah Palin Is A C**t" (I'm sure you know the 4-letter C word)
These were a couple of idiots at an Obama rally in Philadelphia this past week.
Anyway, it got me wondering...Why is it that Barack Obama and his Supporters constantly pull out the "Race Card" and accuse McCain supporters of being Racist, YET those same Obama supporters constantly attack Sarah Palin and call her SEXIST names such as "Cunt"...Anyone want to explain this Double Standard? Suddenly it's ok to be Sexist, as long as you aren't Racist.
I'd LOVE to hear women try and defend this. You women don't seem to have any integrity or morality when it comes to this issue. Women constantly complain about equal rights and being treated with the same respect as men, yet they turn right around and join in with the "Women Bashing" and "Sexist" attacks.
Hypocrites.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
Seriously, i think or i would hope people would have enough intelligence to see thru all the predictable rhetoric, political desperation and so-called double-standards. If they can't, then how qualitifed are they to even vote? Unfortunately, it's all pretty much a part of party-politics, spread mainly by the ralliests, pundits and supporters, not by the running mates themselves. The only "card" people should be concerned about is the one at the ballot box. So let the BEST PERSON win, NO MATTER the race, creed or gender. Who knows, maybe next term, it will be a midget vrs (ex-wrestler) Jesse Ventura. Anyhow, no President is ever going to be perfect, but imo, Obama the "human being" is still more qualified than Palin, the "human being.."
lol @ pic
AngryScorp...we all know cunt is your favorite word in the entire English language. It's rather hypocritical to try and make a stand about it now, just because O'Bama supporters are using it. Tongue
I dont like Sarah Palin - theres something "Insincere" about her !
i have good gut instincts, and i can "feel" Obama's sincerity. With Palin, i am feeling more of, "did i say the right thing? ..am i impressive enough?? "back to research library, i've gotta look something up.." Too scripted and insincere, i'm just not feeling it.
"I think he is in denial about being a democrat."
I agree, because I believe he said he was a Dem when he first came here.
"Palin reminds me too much of Bush in 2000 elections"
She scares me. I don't need any more laws based on Christian theology, thanks.
"I dont like Sarah Palin - theres something "Insincere" about her !"
really? but she's so uncouth.
don't forget about the VP. i think obama-biden is a much better team. with mccain-palin, there is no balance.
couldn't agree more ms.pisces. but her narrow-mindedness and hypocrisy aren't the main reason i wouldn't want her running the country, that comes down to her pure idiocy
I have grave fears for the future, whoever wins, coz neither of them seem to be any good.
I read an article saying that "anyone who disagrees with Sarah Palin, get put on her "Enemy" list"
And THIS person could possibly end up in charge of the most powerful arsenal of weapons in the world. That is SCARY.
"A joint Presidency between both of them would be better"
I think we should do away with the office entirely and replace it with a body of a dozen or so elected reps made up of every party, rather than just the two. That way everyone has a voice.
I hope someone is writing this shit down, damnit! Tongue
"I read an article saying that "anyone who disagrees with Sarah Palin, get put on her "Enemy" list"
Erm..does she post here? Cause that sounds like a lot of peeps in DXPland. Tongue
"and what gets me is some of these women libbers who think that just because she is a woman, its a step forward by her running for VP."
That's pathetic. I'm certainly pro women moving forward, but not if it means putting that NUTTER in office. Plus, I don't think McCain will even live another 8 years, which means she could most likely become the prez. *shudder*
Palin isn't a woman she is a robot...I'm convinced....yep...she's a robot. and she may be a C**t also...her Politics sure smell like one, a bad one that is. She is an idiot...I'd care not to be compared to the likes of her. She brought all her garbage out in the street and acted like what most people THOUGHT Obama was going to act like. She is messy and all over the place. I have begun to think that she knows just as much as I do about Politics and that's not a good thing...I know enough but I wouldn't run for VP. The idea of her becoming president is terrifying..... Now THAT would make me want to move to a different country. McCain isn't going to make it the full term if he is elected...he is sure to croke over... it's written all over his face, he doesn't have to say a word. lol
"How can you not give a woman the RIGHT to abort something that was FORCED upon her by the most DEVASTATING act a woman could possibly face..RAPE??? But then....turn around and shoot innocent animals for treetrunking sport..not because you're starving, but just because you get a high off of killing harmless animals, and enjoy posing in treetrunking pictures with them"
Couldn't have said it better Pisces!!!
I hate when people Kill animals for sport...it's so sad!
And like Colin Powell said; how can you trust Mccain when he uses bad judgement such as this--choosing Palin for VP. David Letterman asked Mccain if she could handle another 911?? (Mccain) Hands up in the air, BIG smile.. "yes, of course she could, i'm thoroughly convinced." ..or words to that effect.. LOL..!
The thought of Paris Hilton as president, somehow is looking more attractive
