More liberal sexism

Palin - "a blend of Nixon and Buchanan", with boobs and a Christianism now fused into Republicanism - is a lethal force in the land.

"With boobs"? Why are there no professional feminists or women's groups rushing to Palin's defense?

If you oppose Obama's healthcare or spending plans, the media calls you racist. But, if Palin is attacked or demeaned in expressly sexual terms, the media just joins in the fun.

By ignoring Palin's stands on the issues, and exclusively focusing on her person and personality, the media may get her elected president. Not because people agree with her, but because people see she's being treated unfairly.
