Palin was asked by a female what she would do for womens issues and guess what the response was

[bigdarryl]

PAPA interjected and said QUOTE: she was a point guard on the womens basketball team. HOLY COW!!!!! how can any person supports this ticket is believable.

[texastoast]

1. I'd love a link to that n/t

[bigdarryl]

4. they played the tape on the Micheal Basin show I'm sure theres video footable can I say YOU TUBE

[1corona4u]

5. It was from today, I think...if you can find it...

not sure which city though....it was on the teevee too...

[vaberella]

[1corona4u]

20. Oh ok, thanks...

I guess it's just been on tv today...

[ncteechur]

28. On my deathbed, I'm going to wish I had that 2-3 minutes back that I just spent watching that video.

[calmblueocean]

36. Ugh, I don't know who was worse...

the delusional PUMA who thinks McCain is going to give women "economic empowerment", or Palin's wacky rambling non-answer.

On second thought, the winner is McCain actually taking a question about "economic empowerment for women" and turning it into a stump speech about, of all things, school vouchers. Jeezum crow, that was a bad clip!

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

38. My God, Failin is such an empty suit. Every time she opened her mouth

it was a bunch of gibberish all strung together.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

17. They played that on CNN last night, over and over and over and over

Palin said something about being a product of Title IX and then McCuckoo suddenly brought up basketball out of nowhere and the question was never answered.

[TomInTib]

2. Well, That certainly settles THAT, doesn't it?

It's really quite simple, don'tcha know?

[firedupdem]

3. They are a real freak show n/t

[eShirl]

6. what a condescending funkstick

[MadrasT]

7. PLEASE tell me you made that up to make us laugh...

... please??? :hide:

[vaberella]

11. Nopers...link below:

[Mad_Dem_X]

35. Christ, I can't stand listening to that woman

I know she can't help it, but damn is her voice annoying. (Not to mention the tripe that comes out of her mouth.)

[gmoney]

8. "Sarah has renewed her subscriptions to REDBOOK and GLAMOUR..."

"She is on top of the relevant women's issues of the day. Even the back issues."

[chatnoir]

12. Holy crap, they didn't actually say that, did they?

[vaberella]

9. This happened at the Michigan rally yesterday. Video Link below:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VohVzyMZsEU

[codjh9]

13. Probably said ''Women's Issues'? I've never subscribed to THAT magazine'. :^)

[Forkboy]

14. Their whole campaign has to be satire of some sort.

They can't be for real. No way. :crazy:

[jonnyblitz]

19. it's probably really Tina Fey. nt

[Arugula Latte]

21. Any moment now Ashton Kutchner will step out and tell us we've all been punked.

[LuckyLib]

42. LOL! This freak show certainly feels like it, huh?

[ContinentalOp]

15. For those who didn't watch the video, McCain said it.

Her response was at least semi-relevant.

[endarkenment]

16. So she is a strong supporter of Title IX?

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, now known as the Patsy T. Mink Equal Opportunity in Education Act in honor of its principal author, but more commonly known simply as Title IX, is a United States law enacted on June 23, 1972 that states: "No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance."<1> Although the most prominent "public face" of Title IX is its impact on high school and collegiate athletics, the original statute made no reference to athletics.<2>
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Title_IX

I will bet one offical and near worthless US dollar that the ignorant moron palin couldn't even answer that question and has no clue that the reason why she was even able to play on her high school basketball team is because of that nasty federal government interference in local affairs.

[Inkyfuzzbottom]

18. WTF

Wonder how much they paid that stupid old white woman to get up and read her statement about how she was a former Democrat who was for Hillary and she's a PUMA and is now fighting hard for the Angina/Vagina ticket? That was lame.

[politicasista]

22. Mike Baisden played that clip all day today

Talk about stupid! :grr:

[BronxBoy]

26. His comments while they were talking

were great!

[politicasista]

39. They really were! n/t

[City Lights]

23. So the man answered the question about women's issues that was asked of the female.

How very Republican!

McCain's answer was unacceptable and disrespectful. He's clueless and uncaring about issues that are important to women.

[RetroLounge]

24. Agreed...

:hi:

How are you?

RL

[City Lights]

29. Hanging in there!

Wishing this was a clear blowout rather than a nail biter. ;-)

How 'bout you? How's your dad doing?

:hi:

[RetroLounge]

46. They seem to be doing fine.

I was up there for Labor Day weekend with the kids.

Dad took the kids fishing a couple of time, and we spent every afternoon splashing on the beach.

Good Times...

:hi:

RL

[City Lights]

47. It's always a good time up there. We never want to come home.

So peaceful and relaxing. :-)

Didn't mean to not specifically ask about your mom too. ;-) I mentioned your dad though because I thought I remembered him having a health issue awhile back and was hoping he was well...glad they're both doing well. Give them my best. :D

We'll be seeing my aunt and uncle this weekend at their son's wedding.

[adoraz]

25. umm... they both answered and McCain is the one running

I rather see McCain answer. Palin's answer was even worse I thought anyways....

Please don't tell me that Obama and Biden can't answer questions about women's issues because they are men.

edit: did she specifically ask just Palin? If she did I missed that, but I would still want to see McCain answer.

[BronxBoy]

27. Yes she did. n/t

[adoraz]

30. in McCain's defense (gasp, lol)...

in this case, if Palin was the only one to answer, people here would be calling McCain sexist for not responding.

Palin's answer was a lot worse, and we need to pound her on this. We need to make women know for sure who they are voting for (those voting because she is a woman).

[City Lights]

31. I based my comment on the OP and did not see the event myself.

Please don't make assumptions about my opinions.

I never said Obama or Biden would be unqualified to answer a question about women's issues because they are men. The point I made was that, based on the OP, Palin was asked a question about women's issues and McCain answered for her. Both McCain and Palin should be able to answer that question if asked. Ditto for Obama and Biden.

[adoraz]

32. LOL... how can I not do that if you don't even know what happened?

I had to assume you watched it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VohVzyMZsEU

An old lady (PUMA- literally) asks. Palin answers for a couple minutes, then McCain does the same. It's a pretty pathetic clip, but watch it anyways. :)

Question to those who saw it- do you think the PUMA was planted there by the GOP? It almost seemed staged...

[City Lights]

33. Assume away then. nt

[adoraz]

34. just admit you were wrong

watch the clip before responding next time. That's all. I had to correct you.

You do understand that by responding, people need to assume you know what happened, right?

You can't just go into a thread making false accusations.

[City Lights]

40. I stand corrected. They did both answer.

Thanks for the link to the clip.

[adoraz]

41. No problem, sorry if I came off sounding a little harsh

I have to do work and I've been dreading it all day. I'm not in too good of a mood right now, haha. :)

I'm going to do it right now though... I'm just going to get it over with and then come back to DU later. Can't be much worse than listening to McCain/Palin speak anyways.

[lse7581011]

37. That Is a Friggin' Joke!

absolutely unbelievable!

[City Lights]

44. It is a joke, but not for the reason I stated.

I made that comment based on the OP, before I watched the clip. McCain and Palin both answered the question.

That post of mine should be ignored. :-)

[elleng]

43. and she said she'd benefitted from

Title 9 of the Civil Rights Act, which did a great deal for girl's/women's sports.

At least she knows that much.

[a la izquierda]

45. My mom was a point guard....

she should run for political office.
