SodaHead Brief: Sexist Dylan Ratigan bashes Sarah Palin

MSNBC host Dylan Ratigan says, "I could not feel more stupid doing what I'm about to do, which is make fun of Sarah Palin. So I feel peculiar right now is the truth, because I feel like that is terrible and this is silly. I don't know what to do with that, quite honestly."

Does the man think this is sexist? Beneath him? How about not doing it? How about skipping the piece? How about a little integrity. Unfortunately, no:

"So, I’m going to attempt to make the transition. But you can call our next segment Palin Palooza. Next week, in fact, you can expect to see the former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin everywhere. Her new book Going Rogue hits store shelves next week."

Ratigan adds later, "She’s also very hot." The fake, photoshopped pictures below, showing Palin in a mini-skirt and bikini holding a rifle, then come on screen.



Tongue firmly in cheeck, blogger Patterico, channeling a heterosexual but otherwise equally moronic version of Andy Sullivan, writes:

"This seems persuasive to me. But it’s based entirely on a vague comparison of photos. Why not kill this rumor with a genuine photo of Sarah Palin in a bikini? Just so we can be sure? Just release it, ok? If necessary in a closed room for conservative bloggers. And we can all breathe a sigh of relief and move on."
You!

    She's an attractive, pro gun, pro life conservative. So of course she has the Dems pissing in their pants.

    She is in the news, mostly of her own doing. When you put yourself out in front of the public, you must expect the good with the bad.

    What do her followers want the pundits to talk about? Rehashing the McCain campaign can get old, and she suddenly demands privacy for her family, so what does that leave? Not her positions on the issues of the day, which are mostly displays of ignorance. It doesn't leave much to talk about, does it?

    I have to admit, I think she gets somewhat insulting photo "modificating". People have a right, (and she does too), to be upset when some of this hateful stuff happens. It's not ALL hateful though, some of it is just poking fun at a celebrity, happens all the time. The thing is, many of these "upset people" are the same ones who think it's intelligent, even "funny" to plaster the Internet with hateful, racist, vicious photo and "art" work depicting PRESIDENT Obama in all kinds of despicable roles and poses. Freedom in this country is supposed to be for EVERYBODY! Not just for those on the far right who think THEIR rights super cede the rest of the country. Ms. Palin does a lot to cause herself to be made fun of, but I see very little of it that compares to the mean, hate-filled, racist publishing of the right.

    The easiest way to find out who the left fears the most is to look and see who they're trying to destroy. That's Sarah Palin! She's a true conservative, and that scares the crap out of those moronic, scumbag, liberal, left-wing lunatics. Ahh, I feel better now.

    She is not a true conservative. That movement seems to have died with Bill Buckley, Irving Kristol and Barry Goldwater. What remains is a kind of loony version of neo-conservatism. If NY23 is an example, this new version is not a winner.

    It is amazing how liberals keep going after her. They will say anything regardless of how rediculous it sounds or even if it's a lie. They spew shit and it resonates with the ignorant because they can't discern or won't reseach the truth. They seem determind to slow or stop any momentum she generates. I think it is very clear that they are scared to death of her. Pro military, thats all I need to hear. She has my vote. Not to mention, she's hot. A woman that will fish and hunt. What could be better.

    Hey caps lock buddy.

    Integrity what integrity? They know they are better and have all the answers. Just wait they will tell you till your ears bleed.

    I love how Atty Gen Holder called America cowards regarding race. Love that 'teaching moment' President BO. Great example to have a kegger BO. Did it ever occur to the the white house the officer might have been JOKING when he suggested a beer? But first tell us how you don't know the facts but then open your big mouth to defend you rich college buddy. That just shows you care for the common man alright. His fellow black officers just 'loved' how that teaching moment went for them. Notice where the officer had his press conference? A union hall no less.

    They are lost in the wilderness. Oh no Sen Boxer, was it, used an old southern democrat racist trick against the black chamber of commerce head by using an NAACP article (blacks against blacks thing) 'against him'. Crap that is the stuff they used to use against blacks a long time ago. No wonder he was so pissed. She was stammering and stuttering it was glorious to watch. Don't forget that MoveOn person biting the finger off an elderly man that was was sick. Or that black conservative getting beat up by people in union tee shirts. The list goes on.

A Democrat congressman's son committing a cyber crime against Palin a and the left saying how funny it was. Was it, Gore or Dean ,this week who said its OK to have civil disobedience to defend the green movement. Oh wow, that is OK to break the law for a 'green' cause? Not exactly civil or human rights.
    What integrity? The far left are taking the Democrats over the cliff and don't even care. The are laughing on the way down.
    I wonder if they think passing a bill that half the country DOESN'T like is good for em. Nope they are obsessed .. down right obsessed. They won't even cover everyone. Those millions of Americas are not going to be covered are going to royalty pissed off. No? The Dems know it will work. Why? Because it has to work.. Just wait they will tell you it has to work.

    Yes the list goes on. I'm waiting to testify against 3 Obama caucus workers (there were 5 but 2 got away) who beat up a Vietnam vet in Media PA at a Mc Cain rally. They spat on him, called him a baby killer and then kicked him after they shoved him to the ground, calling him a traitor to his race.
    Scum bag thug anarchists, thats what many of the LWNJ's are made of.

    Milwaukee brought charges against people who slashed tires of GOP vans. They left were giving out cigarettes and booze to entice homeless people to vote.
    Fucking scumbags. The end justify the means with those 'kind and gentle caring' snots.
    We had an alderman's wife chared with being a slumlord a few years back, Who do you suppose she supported in the last election. OH but I was just fixing up the places. But have people live in filth and how long did it take? The crap that they get away with its staggering . And the GOP and conservatives get painted as evil? Give me a break.
    Not wonder the Milwaukee county sheriff spoke at a tea party protest last summer at the lake from. OH yeah that black highly educated former Milwaukee police officer was a racist huh President Carter? That's right he saw that kind of hate in the south. So he speaks for Wisconsin now too? OH sure insult the south AND the north. I didn't even know a person from a non southern state could be called a redneck. I guess I was wrong from what I have seen on TV the last few months. What a joke. I guess calling WWII senior vets names on national TV is going to garner support? What are they thinking?

    Congressman Grayson (D) from Florida (you know that darling of the progressives) called a woman lobbyist a 'K Street Whore' but then tried to weezel out of it by trying to explain what he meant by 'whore' and that is was technically correct or some such bull shit.
    Guess it depends how you define whore. I wonder how you define loud mouthed sexist pig. Oh yeah and when he was typed to be interviewed for the news he kept saying how getting interview in a public hallway with out an appointment was against the rules. Nice cop out . To bad he just made that load of rubbish up on the spot. How many sheep believed that. He called the capital police even, before the hallway embarrassment, and was yelling to the cop, according to the reporter. I guess when a reporter isn't breaking any rules or laws there is nothing the capital officer would do. They cant even get the 'provocative' and 'shocking' thing right?
    Oh yes they think this is good for the democrat party. Gotta give em credit it sure made a lot of people go start to use the internet for more things than sharing pics of their grand kids.

    Oh Grayson
    check out this site http://www.mycongressmanisnut...

    The things I saw on the campaign trail in 08 were horrible. PA was a major player in the dem primary. Sexism was rampant, black panthers, and penciled in changes in the voters registry.
    It was ugly
    Then again in the general, I finally attended my first republican rally, the Media PA debacle.
