You can find the same criticism for other politicians - Karl Rove comes to mind. I'm sure you can find a similar article on him. Does criticism, even as harsh as this, somehow become sexist if it's applied to a woman? If so, then your criteria is itself sexist - as if women need to be shielded from harsh opinion for the sole reason being that they are women.<BR/><BR/>Somehow I think Palin doesn't need you or anyone else watching her back for sexism - she's a grown up who can defend herself just fine. And, she's a public figure who is open to public opinion. If that is too much for her or her fans to take, then perhaps she shouldn't be in the public domain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8613371064194042743.post-10305610470497501822008-09-24T11:09:00.000-07:002008-09-24T11:09:00.000-07:00She is invoking visceral fear in some people, perh...She is invoking visceral fear in some people, perhaps many people.
