I Tweeted Sarah Palin and the RW Lost It's Mind
I don't like Sarah Palin. That's no secret. In my opinion, she's an opportunistic, attention-whoring, propaganda-spreading grifter who uses her children as media props at every given opportunity; something she's been doing publicly since she became a VP candidate. She did it again, recently, when Bill Maher made a tasteless joke about her son, Trig.
I sent her an admittedly rudely worded tweet regarding my distaste for the practice, and the RW trolls went crazy flooding my feed with hate-filled, misspelling-riddled attacks about my "insensitivity" and "hate" for those with special needs. It doesn't matter that my tweet was clearly a comment about her parenting, not her child.
Now. Let's clear something up. Bill Maher is a comedian. It's his job to be a dick and say outrageous things that get people's panties in a bunch. It gets him media attention, higher ratings for his show and better ticket sales for his appearances. Bill Maher needs people like Sarah Palin or he has no material.
That being said, Sarah Palin needs Bill Maher. She might loathe what he says, but she welcomes the accompanying attention and support she gets after he says it, and she milks it for all it's worth. Otherwise, she would take the moral high ground by releasing a gracefully-worded statement to the press condemning his words and ignorance. Instead, Sarah takes to social media like a middle-schooler in a barrage of childish retaliatory tweets and Facebook posts.
Something her mindless droves of fans are happy to follow in turn.

I am a fan of Shannon's intelligence and writing ... follow her on twitter @nakedaxiom
Even Barbara Walters championed Bill in this situation ... Miss Sarah needs to get over herself ... the rest of us have!
ReplyDeleteI have worked with the developmentally disabled for over 15 years, & I have never seen a more shameless display by a parent of a child with special needs than Sarah Palin. That she has the gall to be upset by any criticism of her parenting skills is laughable. The ones who support her, are intellectually stunted and don't realize that to her they are just shills for her cause. Chiefly, to make money. Good riddance to bad rubbish if we never saw her on TV again.
