How to counter the "sexism" arguement........
Palin HAS been the object of sexism, because she would never have been chosen if she were a man, or if she was homely. The GOP has exploited her for her gender and looks. That's the sexism in play here

However, since she could have turned the Republicans down, she is NOT a victim. She is in collusion with her exploiters.

1. I don't think you ever counter a racism or sexism argument. So, you just proceed as you would have
proceeded if Sarah were male and if the Pubs weren't claiming sexism. Bill and Hill's campaign have never countered the racism charge to everyone's satisfaction and never will. Obama and the Party have never countered the Clinton camp's charge of sexism to everyone's satisfaction and never will. Some are truly angry at both and some are feigning outrage. You just try to do the right thing and don't worry about the bloviators. That is what Obama has been doing. IMO, anyway.

2. Of course you can counter a sexism argument, and we'd better start.....
since the GOP has made it clear that is their new all purpose comeback--we're picking on her because she's a woman.

4. If it's sexist to criticize Palin, then it's racist to criticize Obama
