WARNING: This might make YOUR flesh peel.

So, over 30 lawyers and thugs air-dropped into Alaska moments after the naming of Gov. Sarah Palin as the VP running mate of Sen. John McCain on the GOP presidential ticket … over five weeks later they haven’t found as much as a broken toe nail … and now the liberal bog rats take over and tar and feather Gov. Palin with their slime, scum, and smear. In rare form, once again …

And keep in mind. Those who have claimed for decades to be fighting for the rights and dignity of women … have FAILED this woman miserably.

They got NOTHING!

There’s a price to pay for conservative politicians like Sarah Palin who don’t swath themselves in pantsuits, wear stylish open-toe shoes and refuse to cut their hair into mannish crops. Apparently part of that price is that, on the very day we should be focusing on Sarah Palin’s forthcoming vice presidential debate performance, we learn that porn-peddler Larry Flynt has shot an X-rated adult film starring a Sarah Palin lookalike.

This isn’t even the most offensive thing I’ve heard. Yesterday I read about a Chicago tavern that’s hanging up nude Palin paintings. And no, painter Bruce Elliot isn’t a fan of her political leanings, he just likes Palin’s hot bod. If that’s not disturbing enough, Elliot’s daughter posed naked as his Palin look-alike muse. (SFW: The link is to a story about the painting, there is no image of the painting itself.

Flynt, Elliot and all the rest of their disgusting male friends hiding in their basements who eat up this filth are sick and sad, but I’m not even going to pretend to act surprised this is happening. It happens to lots of conservative women I know, like Michelle Malkin, Ann Coulter and the rest. It happened to me in college when a graduate student photoshopped pornography of me and put it on the internet because of the conservative work I was doing on campus. We know it’s par for the course. I would hope that all women would be outraged by this, but people seem to care less when this kind of dirt is directed towards conservative women. I bet this causes less uproar than when the Washington Post’s Style section discussed Hillary Clinton’s cleavage.

Simply put, conservative women who don’t hide their femininity are forced to pay a price. Luckily, women like Palin are willing to pay it with a smile to make it easier for all the young women who will follow in her footsteps later.

What do you think about this?

Me: And then there is this gem (WARNING! Don’t read any farther if you’re going to bite my head off by the end …):

Why Sarah’s Sex Life Matters

By Susie Bright – (10 Zen Monkeys)

A lot of people have said “I don’t know if it’s fair to look at Sarah Palin’s sexuality the way people are — I just don’t know if it’s sexist or appropriate. Why can’t we just treat her like a human being?” Okay, I’m going to tell you why it’s appropriate for us to gloat and delve into every detail.

#1. Sexual politics is important. It matters.

#2. Palin has made priggery, prudery and sexual hypocrisy a centerpiece of her law enforcement and public policy directives, as both the mayor of the beautiful Wasilla, Alaska, and the governor of the state.

She ran on a sex-is-icky platform. People who lived in Wasilla remember when being mayor was almost considered a thankless job, like being the town plumber. (“Who wants to deal with all the bull down at the city dump and the electrical wiring?”) And then Sarah came along, with her Pentecostal church program behind her, saying “I’m not going to talk about issues like whose dog is pooping on whose lawn. I’m going to talk about stopping abortion now.” That’s the kind of stuff she ran on, and she got a bunch of people who’d never voted before to march down from her little church and put her into office.

And then Mayor Palin cut funding for rape test kits. It’s like, “If you want to complain about being raped, sweetheart, well, you can just get out your checkbook.” Because the city of Wasilla, no matter how much money they had in revenue from their oil, wasn’t going to spend it on you. So Sarah has made sex a topic by her legislation and her lobbying and her speeches.

But here’s the most controversial part, and it’s just as rich as any other aspect of her candidacy: we finally have an image of a powerful, fertile, virile woman on the national stage. And it’s a female image that’s been almost entirely absent from America’s pop culture. When you think of women who’ve been in the news, two kinds come to mind. One we’ll call the Paris Hilton model — or Lindsay Lohan, or Britney Spears — this illiterate, anorexic, or drug-addicted pop tart. “She’s so rich. Everybody wants to her. She’s so special.” This, as many mothers wring their hands saying “This is the role model for our daughters? This is who they see as someone they should look up to?” It’s been a travesty.

The other kind of strong woman on a national stage has been an older woman like Hillary Clinton. In some ways, you can say that’s how sexism worked against her. Every time she got a little ballsy, a little rip-roaring — every time she showed her fierceness and her strength — she was bound to be called a Wellesley lesbian, that somehow she wasn’t enough for Bill Clinton, that all those girls she went to college with she was secretly . Now all of this has just been a big pile of right-wing baloney, but it’s what happened to Hillary Clinton. She has never allowed herself, or been encouraged to show her sexual side, because it’s been considered something that would get her in trouble — like there was no positive way to show it. She had to refrain from being a ball-buster for fear of being dyke-baited.

So here comes Sarah Palin, who apparently is not in menopause at all. She just had a baby a few months ago, so her heterosexuality is just bleeding out all over the place. She’s just rolled out of bed! That’s the impression we get from this woman. They can’t get her on the dyke thing. She’s up in Alaska, shooting guns and taking names! So she’s gotten a pass on this. And she is irresistible!

We simply haven’t had an overtly fecund, butch, straight-woman sex symbol in so long. She’s like Annie Oakley with her six-shooters and her polar bears, her caribou dressing and her moose stew. She’s got five kids hanging off of her, and you’re like “Hells bells, that woman can in the morning, go out for a long hike on the Arctic tundra, take down a polar bear or two, and be back in time to pass some new creationist legislation.” She just kicks ass. I mean, she’s just so — mmm. So like a powerful woman.

It’s exciting, isn’t it?

I think for every woman who’s been appalled at her politics and the platform she’s been running on — and this certainly includes me — well, there’s this little part of me that’s thinking “Oh, If only she was on my side. If only I could kidnap Sarah Palin and just lick her pussy for a few hours, I think we could just work this whole thing out.” Do you know how many lesbians are discussing this? My friend Marga Gomez, who’s a fantastic dyke comedian, has this line where she says “Sarah Palin? She’s having my baby. And we’ve already named her Drill.” If only we could move her political viewpoint around just a little.

I was talking to my good friend Christina the other night, and when I told her my kidnapping/cunnilingus fantasy about brainwashing Sarah Palin, she said “I don’t think it’d really be that hard. I think she really does like us. I think she’s ready for anything. She just wants to be a winner. That’s all this girl cares about.” When she was Sarah Barracuda on the high school basketball team, when she was in the beauty contest — you can just imagine how mad she was that she didn’t win Miss Alaska and only won Miss Congeniality.

I don’t think she’s very congenial. She wants to win. And in Alaska, that meant siding with a certain kind of fundamentalist church. At first, it meant bucking the Republican establishment without leaving the Republican party entirely. It was the same thing with her church. If you go onto YouTube and look at that Wasilla Pentecostal church she belonged to — I mean, they make Ted Haggard look like a sober Lutheran Minister. And when she ran for governor, all of a sudden she stopped going there every Sunday, because it was just a little too wacky. You know, she had a private talk with them and said, “I really love you guys, but it’s a little too theatrical for my political career.”

What have we learned about Sarah Palin’s sex life so far? The most important thing is that, like every other single person in Alaska, she seems to have had premarital sex. You can look at the elopement date, and then you look at when their first son, Track, was born less than 8 months later. All of her children seem to have had premarital sex — all the ones who’ve gone through puberty, at least. This is not unusual in America, and especially not in Alaska, where you have all these long, long months, a very narrow economy, and not the biggest educational system in the world. There’s not a lot to do except , drink, hunt, and fish. In fact, I don’t really know how this Wasilla Pentecostal church really works with their abstinence program, because it goes against the Alaska way!

This kind of hurts me, because you know how I hate slut-baiting, but people at Bristol’s high school say she got around, according to the National Enquirer. It’s easy to imagine this, because when you see all the photos that are floating around MySpace, there’s lots of supposed pictures of Bristol, her sister, and her cousins with gigantic tankards of Jack Daniels, tossing them back — jello shots, party, party, party. The kids have apparently been in a lot of hijinx.

I mean, on one level, I’m sympathetic to Sarah Palin having her life torn apart like this, because every other candidate has all kinds of skeletons in their closet, too. The kind of problems this family is dealing with aren’t unusual for any American family. But we never found out what was going on with the Bushes, because they were from a ruling class elite that has a shroud of secrecy around their personal lives, and no one in those circles talks. You’re never going to find out what they did at Walmart. You’re never going to find out if they pulled their pants down and mooned somebody out a car window — because nobody talks among the crowd they’ve grown up with.

Sarah, on the other hand, in this working class/middle class community in Alaska? Everyone’s got a story. There’s no veneer of nobility or discretion. It’s all up for grabs.

I know the GOP makes it their practice to select candidates — and this very much includes John McCain — not based on whether these people have intelligence or leadership qualities, or experience or character. They pick them the way a modeling agency picks a spokesmodel — they pick them like it’s a casting call. Somebody like Richard Nixon would never be picked for a presidential nominee in a million years now, because he’s not good television. Ronald Reagan changed everything. Now the GOP believes that government should be handled by professionals whose names you will never know. And they just want the little puppets on the outside to do the song and dance.

“Do you think she’s pretty? Do you think she’s cute? Great! Vote for her!” And they don’t have any respect for her. When they start screaming about how she isn’t shown enough deference by the media, I’m thinking “But you don’t respect her. You think she’s a useful idiot!” If she’s really like Annie Oakley, she wouldn’t put up with that. If she’s really a tough woman who can stand up to a grizzly bear — can she stand up to the GOP?

That would impress me. If she’s not going to do that, then she’s totally under their thumb — under her husband’s thumb, under the GOP’s thumb. She’s sold out for the money, like so many others, and she doesn’t have the barracuda qualities of survival and dignity that we’d hope that she’d have.

We’ll see.

I realize some other unbelievable surprise may be unleashed, but until then, all we can do is just turn the pages of the National Enquirer.

Me: Oh! But wait! Ace Of Spades has taken on being the ‘champion’ for Gov. Palin, and more so her children’s privacy against panty and butt sniffer The Atlantic’s Andrew Sullivan, who WILL NOT leave the Palin children or their paternity alone. Ace has named Sullivan “a creepy pedophilish Womb Raider”:

Palin’s Tax Records

Andrew Sullivan
03 Oct 2008 05:50 pm

They’ve been released – on time on a Friday afternoon. Good for McCain and Palin. More transparency, please. And have at ‘em, tax bloggers.

Now, when are we going to get some record of Trig’s birth and parentage from the hospital or the doctor? It’s been over a month now and still nada. Some basic record confirming Palin’s eight-month special needs pregnancy, amiocentesis, labor and birth would be immensely easy to find and release – even off the record – to news organizations. And yet the McCainiacs refuse to even go near it and demonize anyone who dares ask for something that must be extremely well documented and easily found. They have stated on the record that Sarah Palin is Trig’s biological mother. But they refuse to provide one iota of confirming evidence.

I mean: what’s the problem here? Why is this so hard?

And no, I haven’t let the basic issue of accountability and transparency go. Never. It’s my job.

Me: This Sasquatch is harping on this, yet couldn’t give a about all the graft, crime, hate, communist dealings HIS candidate has shoved into his closet the MSM is holding the doors tightly closed on.

Entire skeletons that ACTUALLY have a direct effect on this nation, our Constitution, and the American people should he ascend to “power” …

But then, slugs such as Sullivan, Flint, and not-so-Bright are working to lift him there with their tongues directly planted to the base of his ass …

And so, the only way they can even begin to deal with her is to try to drag her waaaay down to their level. I said “try” …
