FLAMES ON THE SIDE OF MY FACE.

[luciazephyr]

If I ever meet Sarah Palin, I swear to god- no, I'm an atheist. I need to swear on something real... I swear on my tattered, loved copy of Good Omens, I will punch Palin in her face.

I don't care if you genuinely believe in God, want to put creationism in schools, want to ban library books, and lie about your earmarks. I don't care.

But when you are in any way connected in blaming women for rape, you are less than a human being and I only wish harm upon you.

Bar none.

Fuck you, Palin. Fuck you, you anti-feminist bitch.

ETA: Chuck Todd has Jeff Zucker's credit card. That is almost awesome enough to fight off my rage.

That made my blood boil. Of all the low, despicable, horrific things. Making rape victims pay for their own rape kits, an experience that is an awful addition to an already horrible day, to charge someone for that... It makes me want to throw up.

Also, I love your icon.

Wait, is this about her opposition to abortion even in the case of rape? Or did she make some other despicable rape-related comment?

[lucia-tanaka.livejournal.com]

No.

She appointed a sheriff in Wasilla that put the blame and the price of rape investigation kits on the victim.

Woah, wha? Source please?

[lucia-tanaka.livejournal.com]

Countdown, last night. I'll have to rewatch to catch their source.

My GOD. Thank you for bringing my attention to this. Even if it made me even more outraged.

Wow. I thought she wasn't fit for Vice-President, now I don't think she's fit for society.

On Monday, Fox News featured two women talking about how enraged they were by a feminist group critiquing Palin. How could anyone, they argued, not consider a working class woman who has risen through the ranks and achieved a position that could eventually place her as commander in chief of the United States ever say she was not a feminist, a proponent of women's rights? Were McCain to win, feminists should rejoice, right?

Wrong. Being female doesn't make you feminist. Being female doesn't mean feminists will support you. Palin in no way is an advocate for women. Her being on the ticket is a slap in the face to feminists. She is a pawn and she is vile.

...

You watched FOX News? Voluntarily?

(I totally agree, btw.)

I was volunteering in the blood donor room at Red Cross. Couldn't find the remote to change the channel X(

*cough* Chuck Todd probably doesn't have Zucker's credit card -- he probably has an NBCUNI corporate card, which we like to joke is Zucker's credit card ... since, well, he is our CEO.

I know I feel like I kind of own the world whenever I get handed one!

[lucia-tanaka.livejournal.com]

I know this. But it doesn't make the implication any less lolarious. :D

SHOPPING SPREE. I'm just sayin'. Or charging really odd items on the card, then somehow justifying them. It's be funny.

[notpoetry.livejournal.com]

Oh, I have bought a plastic princess tiara with the company card. So, yes.

[lucia-tanaka.livejournal.com]

And pizza. Lots and lots of Hawaiian pizza. :D

I realized today that if McCain were to win in November, we would have four years of Sarah Palin's voice.

That (and basically almost everything we know about her) is enough reason to not vote for her. You had to hear nails on a chalkboard all through school, and I think we have had enough of that after.

[silver11016.livejournal.com]

She said WHAT?

Oh no. Oh that bitch. I was actually just about to blog about rape and victim-blaming, and now this is making me rage that much harder.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Say the fuck what? And where did she say this?

[lucia-tanaka.livejournal.com]

See above comment. While she was mayor of Wasilla, she appointed a sheriff. WIth her approval, the town laid blame and the cost of rape investigation kits on the victims.
