Subject: RE: BS: Sarah Palin to Pose Nude for Playboy???.
I genuinely believed that this stupid schoolboy sniggering as a cheap substitute for any actual political thought/discussion would have finaly come to its sad sorry conclusion with the election of the candidate supported by people who called themselves 'progressive'!
The thought that this kind of gratuitous sexist smut will go on and on for another four years is an unpleasant prospect and certainly not one that would make me want to be associated with such a forum.
It is as offensive in its treatment of a political figure (whatever you may feel about her views) as it would be to make tawdry racial slurs which demean Obama and, by extrapolation, other people of colour.
I'm sorry but I find this lame brain stuff as distatsteful as any racism - carry on with your amusement without me.
