Anyone got anything good to counteract Camille Paglia
Someone posted it at my parenting board. They love the article and thought it brought out so many good points.

Did anyone read it? My blood pressure boils just hearing Palin's name. If finding out she lied about the airplane, the chef (which I have already pointed out to them) isn't going to change their mind what in the world will?

7. here is link
and the post from parenting board


Too long to post, but worth the read and would love to hear other opinions of the article:
http://www.salon.com/opinion/paglia/2008/09/10/palin/index.html

I know nothing about Camille Paglia beyond what she mentioned in the article. Her beliefs and politics are drastically different from mine, but she won my respect after reading that article. I would be especially interested in a reaction from those so against Sarah Palin in the other thread after reading Camille's entire article, no skimming aloud LOL! Really, I found it quite interesting all the way to the end of page 4.

5. Yes. Basic sanity and logic.
And she's bizarrely naive in this particular column--says she "just doesn't believe" all the nasty things she's reading about Palin.

10. She hates herself for being a woman more than she hates other women--and that's saying a lot.
Does that help?

14. It's about personal preference. I don't like Sarah Palin, because I know her type.
Camille likes her, because she clearly hasn't had to deal with people like Palin. You can't really argue about it. It's an undefineable argument.

Same goes with your friends. They like her, and you don't. You could point out the fact that she is a serial liar and provide proof, but not sure that will be able to eclipse people who love her.

This is the most absurd ridiculous presidential campaign EVER.

What more do you need? The woman is horrid and wouldn't know a feminist if she tripped over one on the way to her psychiatrist's office for her daily sessions to treat her narcissistic personality disorder.
