"Speak correctly, or build a big bunker"
Or, A Taste of Her Own Medicine...
Remember Kathleen Parker, the conservative columnist who wrote a column about Palin being a bad choice for VP. This one:
Well, she sure got some nasty mail from righties for speaking some uncomfortable truths:
"WASHINGTON — Allow me to introduce myself. I am a traitor and an idiot. Also, my mother should have aborted me and left me in a Dumpster, but since she didn't, I should "off" myself.
Those are just a few nuggets randomly selected from thousands of e-mails written in response to my column suggesting that Sarah Palin is out of her league and should step down.
Who says public discourse hasn't deteriorated? [..]"
Parker ignored that vicious slime when it was being slung at others….and now that she’s in the line of fire, she “feels our pain”?
She then goes on to talk about how public discourse has deteriorated...how "...the mailbag is about us, our country, and what we really believe" and that "everyone's to blame."
Hey, wait a minute. Seems that the only people Parker quotes, the only ones who've abused her, are righties. Quit talking about "discourse" and put the blame where it actually lies? Rabid wingnuts.
Wait, there's more: "The picture is this: Anyone who dares express an opinion that runs counter to the party line will be silenced. That doesn't sound American to me, but Stalin would approve. Readers have every right to reject my opinion. But when we decide that a person is a traitor and should die for having an opinion different than one's own, then we cross into territory that puts all freedoms at risk. (I hear you, Dixie Chicks.)"
Well boohoo Parker. Have you listened to right wing talk radio over the past 8 years? Have you heard of Michael Savage? Do you have any idea what Rush spews on a daily basis? Do you watch Sean Hannity… ever?
But never mind...Parker is ready to make nice with her post-debate column, "Sarah Palin's Bridge to Somewhere"..."What did they do with the other Sarah Palin?" is Parker's opening line.
Ah well...what can you expect from a woman who once wrote an entire column in which she claimed she could tell George W. Bush was a good guy because -- I’m not kidding -- he drove a white pickup.
