Mrs. Palin, STFU
Sarah Palin is a moron who doesn't study history and never considers her words before speaking. She needs to sit the fuck down, shut the fuck up and go the fuck back to Alaska where she can cause as little damage as possible. She makes me embarrassed to be a human being and I hope this puts the final nail in her political coffin. Oh, anyone who even thinks of telling me that I'm somehow anti-feminist because I'm telling a woman to 'sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up', fuck you too. I'm not telling her to STFU because she's female - I'm telling her to STFU because she's a dangerously stupid tool of the GOP who never needs to be heard from again.
You know, after what Jon Stewart said on Monday, I was ready to leave Mrs. Palin alone. Now, not so much, sigh.
In her most recent video, she decided that 'blood libel' would be an appropriate way to describe the media's vilification of her after the AZ shootings. Jewish leaders are understandably upset, which has caused Mrs. Palin to apologize and take down the video.
Too little, too late.
She used a term without understanding what it meant and is apologizing after the fact. Fuck her. Fuck her apology. Fuck her for not knowing the history. Fuck her for now trying to find a "less offensive alternative."
To be 100% fair, I'd never heard the term 'blood libel' before Mrs. Palin used it today. However, regardless of whether she knew the historical implications or not, using a term with the word 'blood' in it after a tragedy like this is the definition of missing the fucking point.
She should have apologized for putting up the fucking crosshairs, but no, she had to turn people rightly criticizing her for that into 'blood libel'. She couldn't just say, 'Sorry, that sort of imagery was inappropriate. I shouldn't have called them bulleyes, nor should I have kept saying, 'Don't retreat, reload'." No, that would have been an admission of guilt and one thing no one in the GOP can ever do is admit they're wrong.
Fuck Sarah Palin. Fuck her and the failboat she sailed in on.
