Balancing the Scales of Editorialism Away from the Right

Posts Tagged ‘Palin

The Republican Party has spent the last few days in an awkward spiral of jingoism, as evidenced by a slew of controversial statements. Let’s review the events of the last few days:

Friday, 10/17:
Representative Michele Bachman (R-Minnesota) states that she is “very concerned that [Barack Obama] may have anti-American views”
Saturday, 10/18
Representative Robin Hayes (R- [...]

According to The Hill, Susan Bruce, a campaign blogger for New Hampshire Representative Carol Shea-Porter, was recently forced to resign after she raised the legitimate concern about Sarah Palin’s abysmal public treatment of her children, including her down syndrome afflicted son, Trig:
“I don’t think that putting a scarlet letter on your own teenager and [...]

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Flippants

Posted by: James In: Feminism

According to The New York Times, a recent Republican fund raising reception managed to suck more than a million dollars out of the hands of hundreds of Hillary Clinton’s fair-weather supporters, some of whom traitorously contributed more than twenty five thousand dollars of their blood money to John McCain.
This disgusting display of misplaced activism is [...]

John McCain has recently complained about YouTube’s policy of removing campaign videos that infringe upon copyright protection laws is unfair.
As John McCain sees it, removing these videos (which frequently use televised debate footage and pop songs before negotiating the rights to them) ’stifles free speech’.
John McCain has no right to cry about the fair [...]

Sarah Palin, who supports overturning Roe vs wade, opposes birth control (even among married couples), opposes Abortion in all cases including rape and incest, and who, as Governor of Alaska, forced rape victims to pay for their own rape kits has decried Barack Obama’s pro-choice views as “extreme”, according to a recent article on CNN.com.

Posted by: James In: Humor

In talking about the economy at a rally in Pennsylvania today, John McCain had a rather amusing gaff:

As I see it, there are five possible explanations for this gaff:
1) He had been hoping to invoke his experience as a Prisoner of War [...]

Presidential Debates Frighten John McCain

Posted by: James In: Debates| Economy

Evidently, the prospect of either himself or Sarah Palin having to participate in a serious debate with the Democratic Candidates scares John McCain to death.
Yesterday, we found out that John McCain used the excuse of Obama’s proposed bi-partisan effort to address the Wall Street Crisis to delay Friday’s upcoming Presidential Debate.
Now we learn that John [...]

The GOP’s “Trauma Bonding” strategy

Posted by: James In: Uncategorized

Trauma Bonding is the sociological effect where, in traumatic times, victims of that trauma will cling to the most convenient source of authority as a means of protection, regardless of that entity’s connection to the source of that trauma. This is the root cause of Stockholm Syndrome.
9/11 is perhaps the most evident example of this. [...]

Anybody who has tried to play the “family values” drinking game during televised McCain/Palin rallies has probably found themselves in a disappointing state of sobriety.
