43. I hate extraneous mouth noises. I hate smacking the most. The

only good thing is that when she's smacking her lips she ain't talking anymore.

Shudder.

She was born in Idaho, and grew up in Alaska. Am I missing something?

the Mom on that cartoon "Bobby's World". Sorta Canadian/sorta Mid-westish maybe??)

13. I wonder where that comes from too. I've heard other Alaskans, and none sounds like that.

I've never heard an Idahoan sound like that either. Most of the Minnesotans I know (considerable numbers of people!) don't even sound like that.

23. I do have to say, though, that as a born and bred Minnesotan -

I always had a little bit of the Minnesota accent, but not much. However, I can "do" the Sarah Palin accent. I have already managed to crack up my husband and a couple of friends with it. :D

In the Third Reich it was a derogatory term aimed at those with a partial Jewish ancestry.

53. it is part of our vocabulary here (Germany)

yes it is German, but AFIK, there is no racial/derogatory undertones to it now. Thankfully the 3rd Reich is no longer alive and well in Germany, it seems to have moved to America. :shrug:

30. Maybe you just don't like

women speaking. That said - Palin is intensely nasty and so is her voice.
I don't find any of the candidates worth listening to for their speaking style or speech characteristics.
Policies and positions and proposals are a different matter.

55. This is the THIRD post I've seen today...

....that uses a smackdown of Palin to insult Hillary.
STOPPPP!

Seriously, I'm new as far as being a member, but I've read DU daily for years.

She lost, okay? Now, I 100% support Obama. That doesn't mean my proverbial scab hasn't totally healed (I know, gross!)
Can we just lay off the insults, because it is insulting to me!

This post simply and easily could have said, "Sarah Palin's voice makes me want to put a pick in my eye." Leave Hillary alone!
