more on the effigy
Amy Siskind is right pissed off.
Nice right-wing language there. Hmmmmmmm. Maybe all that time she's spending on Fox News is getting to her.
Back in the day, Larry Flynt thought gang-raping a woman on a pool table or putting her body through a meat grinder was hilarious. McCain thought joking about women being raped by gorillas was hilarious. Rush Limbaugh thought calling Chelsea Clinton the White House Dog was hilarious. I could go on for years. How have women "become" second-class citizens? Did I blink and miss some golden age of equality?
Oh, I see. We need to pretend we had equality so we can complain that Barack Obama took it away.
Chad is an asshole.
This is amusing because Chad put a model of John McCain in the chimney full of (imaginary) flames. I mean...uh...what?
goesh: The first rupture in the patriarchal shield occured with the passage of the 19th Amendment, Geraldine Ferraro was the 2cd rupture and now Sarah Palin is the 3rd rupture. Hers is the most threatening because she is vibrant, intelligent, aggressive, attractive and she is a mother and so opposite of patriarchal expectations and demands that she had to be labeled a cunt then lynched - there was no alternative from the patriarchy but to kill her in such a symbolic manner.
Sarah Palin is "opposite of patriarchal expectations and demands"? Being "attractive" and "a mother" is "opposite of patriarchal expectations and demands"?
Is that why the religious right loves her? I know the motto of Focus On The Family is "If I Had A Hammer, I'd Smash Patriarchy."
pacific-cali: Good point about Prop 8. I guess the West Hollywood community forgot that their largest block of supporters (prop 8 & everything else) in the straight community are white women: the people they think its so funny to hang in effigy.
Collective guilt! Awesome.
samanthasmom: I’m not sure I understand why [Clinton] is supporting [Obama] so vigorously, and I think she may be sacrificing her political future by doing it. I know that should she run again in 2012 or 2016, my support for her will be tepid. A good concession speech asking her supporters to give their support to him should have been enough. Cross-country campaigning for him sends the message that sexism and misogyny are not important issues. Nor are caucus fraud and vote stealing.
Wow. Just wow. Again, Democrats have to be perfect and Republicans just have to show up.
Bear witness to the continued disintegration of the moral fiber of our country.

Women have officially taken a seat in the back row. How do we know that women have become second class citizens in our society? A picture is worth a thousand words. Simply put, lynching a woman in effigy is not a crime. In fact, to many it is downright hilarious.

Chad [Michael Morrisette] thinks that because October is “Halloween month”, his creation ought to be tolerated as an “art project”.
Chad is an asshole.
The villains of history are those who seek to keep others down. They are the ones in the chimney full of flames.
