Santorum: Sarah Palin is the Clarence Thomas for feminists.

[LynneSin]

OMFG!!!!!

SANTORUM: Sarah Palin is the Clarence Thomas for feminists. The civil rights community, the African-American community obviously should have rallied behind Clarence Thomas an his achievement, but they hammered him because he was a conservative. And the civil rights establishment was first and foremost liberal and then for the liberal rights of — as liberals saw it, what blacks should have in this country. And the same thing with the feminist community.

-------------------------------------------------

Hey Rick, believe it or not us women aren't going to support someone just because they have ovaries just like African-Americans aren't going to rally around someone just because they have the same skin color. We liberals look beyond stuff like that like 'WHAT IS THEIR RECORD WHEN DEALING WITH PEOPLE WITH OVARIES AND/OR SAME SKIN COLOR' And asking that question says that both Palin AND Thomas fail MISERABLY when it comes to protecting and promoting the rights of Women and/or Minorities

1. Like anyone listens to Mr. Man-on-Dog anymore. Ugh! nt

[LynneSin]

9. That's true - the quote came out a few months ago

Had Santorum still been in office we would have picked up on it immediately. Now it takes 3 weeks for it to hit DU.

[Zynx]

2. Actually, not a bad comparison. She represents women about as closely as Thomas represents blacks.

[blondeatlast]

5. Good one! nt

[blogslut]

3. Wait...what?

Ricky, Ricky, Ricky.

<facepalm>

[firedupdem]

4. agree. Thomas has been a useless piece of crap...doesn't even

talk because he doesn't know what to say. Palin is horrible. Why do they want somebody with not one bit of knowledge running the country? Totally unbelievable!

[LynneSin]

8. Yeah you have a point there - they both really suck when it comes to the people who they resemble

If Women and African-Americans have to rely on Sarah Palin or Clarence Thomas to find the path to equality in this country then it's a sad sad sad world we've become.

6. Alright, who's got the pic

Someone has to post the pic... you know the one i mean! :evilgrin:

[LynneSin]

7. Which one?

or

[blondeatlast]

11. I. Will. Never. Ever. Forgive. You. For picture number one.

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

I still like you, but there is no eradicating that from my gray matter. Ick.

[LynneSin]

12. oooohhhh I love you too

Come to DC for the inauguration celebration and I'll buy you a beer to make up for it!

[blondeatlast]

18. Oh, this desert rat doesn't like the cold, but I may just take you up on a hot sake instead?!

I'm seriously considering it; I had the chance with Carter and cought the flu. :cry:

[LynneSin]

19. I got my room and figured I could put up with a few roomies

Hell I'll bring the blow-up mattress along to fit extra people in. I want a big DU celebration in DC!

[blondeatlast]

24. I may take you ip on it. Right now,

Mr. B@L is in a tenuous job position but if he survives (which may mean a move overseas next year) I'll try to make it!

God, how I wanna be there!

[13 Hawks]

14. Too funny!

I agree that he is in the closet. I'll never forget when he
was screaming on the floor of the Senate because a bill he
wanted wasn't passed. It was like something out of Nazi
Germany. 

I wonder which airport bathroom stall is his?

[SallyMander]

23. I meant the bottom one, but...

:spray:

[LynneSin]

32. Well next time be more specific

:D

[LeftishBrit]

10. Well. Yes. She is.

I.e. a totally unqualified tenth-rate idiot, who only got her position because of the attitude in some Republican quarters that all women and all minorities are interchangeable, and therefore one can replace a Thurgood Marshall with a Clarence Thomas or a Hillary Clinton with a Sarah Palin and no one will notice the difference! Can one say PATRONIZING!

[iceman66]

13. I agree with him for once!

Sarah Palin is the Clarence Thomas of women.

[Blackhatjack]

15. Little Ricky is trying to grab some headlines so people remember he is still alive...

Little Ricky is not an expert on any of the groups he just smeared.

Maybe he would like to try another category.

[msallied]

16. Actually that one sentence is correct. She IS the Clarence Thomas for feminists.

It's that she's a traitor and an anomaly.

[Bucky]

17. I want to thank everyone who left the word "coke" out of their post in this thread

[nam78_two]

20. These people think female= feminist

It is not about having a vagina dumbass. Here is the definition for Sanitorium:

fem·i·nism
Function: noun
Date: 1895
1 : the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes
2 : organized activity on behalf of women's rights and interests
— fem·i·nist \-nist\ noun or adjective

There are lots of men who are feminists and women who aren't. These people are idiots...

[polichick]

21. Rick-dog-on-dog-Santorum is a throwback - just like Palin.

[old mark]

22. Rick Sasntorum is the poster boy for assholes. nt

[LynneSin]

25. Now that's just rude and you know it!!!!

I mean how do you think assholes feel being compared to Rick Santorum

:pals:

[old mark]

27. My apologies to all the assholes everywhere - But when you

take a Bush, don't forget to wipe your Santorum.

mark

[msanthrope]

26. And you think this helps Palin, Rick???? n/t

[beac]

28. Rick Santorum spewing his... um..... 'santorum' all over the place and striving to be

relevant once again. Spare us the Uncle Thomas' Cabin shtick, Rick.

Speaking of cabins, Senator Santorum, why don't Log Cabin Republicans support Barney Frank? After all, one single characteristic should completely define a person, right?

[anonymous171]

29. lol Santorum is so clueless.

[Ilsa]

30. Somebody should hand Santorum a can of Coke with pubbies on the top. nt

[RollWithIt]

31. This is the problem with the Republican Party, they don't understand THOUGHT......

Every once and a while they'll come across a black men who agrees with their views. It's only natural for less than 10% of an entire race to agree with you on the issues. So it's only natural to claim racism when 90% of the people who disagree with that person call him an Uncle Tom.

I'm not even going to attempt to dissect the Palin fiasco.

Anyways, it's Rick Santorum. This is Rick Santorum's crazy life.

[tigereye]

33. What an ass! Thomas was the repudiation of everything Thurgood Marshall

stood for, and Palin is a giant slap in the face to all feminists.


Fuck you, Rick! :grr:

[Blondiegrrl]

34. Feminists haven't jumped on the bandwagon because she is anti-woman.

OMG, I was so happy when Santorum lost his re-election bid. What a moron.

[elkston]

35. Clarence Thomas was probably not Supreme Court material, but at least he was competent (eom)

[Jennicut]

36. Rick, go home to your wife and kids and her American Doll

I swear I will never forget watching him loose and his wacked out family with his daughter and her doll that looked just like her, crying endless tears. Was it just 2 years ago? I thought we would never have to hear from this loser ever again.

[racaulk]

37. And he crawled out from under his rock to say THAT?

I need a can of troll spray for that bastard. I am much happier when he was not seen AND not heard.
