Great cartoon! It deserves wide publication.

I never thought I’d ever actually want to defend Sarah Palin, but Beck’s comments were way out of line here. What an ugly, extreme over-reaction to some kind of perceived slight!

AKM, your inclusion of Palin’s responses to the Letterman jokes really bring the point home. This is the response she SHOULD be making to the Beck comments.

This is a clear case of sexism that merits further exposure. I would really like to see this post as an essay on HuffPo.

@Archivist1000 #40:

(Sorry for the O/T but) I think you may be right about that letter. I doubt anyone did any ‘fact-checking’ on the old guy who supposedly wrote it. It seems like a bit of a stretch to me.

On the other hand, if he spends all his time watching faux snuze, then maybe it wasn’t much of an effort. It’s just a regurgitation of all their talking points with the appropriately patronizing attitude about the uppity Obamas not being appreciative of what this great (white Christian) nation has done for them.

Whoever wrote it, the letter reflects the same paranoia that drives the wing nuts to believe their country has been taken over by a Muslim socialist from Kenya who hates America. (If I really believed that, I’d want my country back too.)

I can see why Sarah relates to this letter. It’s right up her alley in terms of baseless accusations and slogans without offering any substantive points for a rational debate.

It’s a bit much to expect Sarah to recognize sexism when she sees it. After all, she doesn’t recognize *reality* when she sees it!

jojobo,

Hem watch–yep, I’ve noticed it too and the hem got lowered by about 6 inches when creepy daddy Chuck started traveling with her.

So, for Beck and his wife any religion would do, as long as they shared it? How opportunistic.

I just thought you all should know that Beck is not a life-long Mormon. He converted in 1999 when his second wife wanted a religion before they married.
Here’s a link that has a video of Beck’s “conversion” story.
I don’t know if it really makes a difference in his Mormonism, but it’s kind of weird.

It amazes me every day to see/hear the Evangelicals support Beck….and Palin. Talk about being too blind too see.
