Wonder Woman, Lynda Carter afraid of Sarah Palin as VP

[bushisanidiot]

http://www.phillymag.com/news/2008/09/11/the-real-wonder-woman-on-sarah-palin-america-should-be-very-afraid/

"In an interview this morning about her three-week run at an Atlantic City casino, I offhandedly asked “Wonder Woman” Lynda Carter how she felt about the media calling VP candidate Sarah Palin the “new Wonder Woman.” I wasn’t expecting her no-holds-barred response:

Don’t get me started. She’s the anti-Wonder Woman. She’s judgmental and dictatorial, telling people how they’ve got to live their lives. And a superior religious self-righteousness … that’s just not what Wonder Woman is about. Hillary Clinton is a lot more like Wonder Woman than Mrs. Palin. She did it all, didn’t she?

No one has the right to dictate, particularly in this country, to force your own personal views upon the populace — religious views. I think that is suppressive, oppressive, and anti-American. We are the loyal opposition. That’s the whole point of this country: freedom of speech, personal rights, personal freedom. Nor would Wonder Woman be the person to tell people how to live their lives. Worry about your own life! Worry about your own family! Don’t be telling me what I want to do with mine.

I like John McCain. But this woman — it’s anathema to me what she stands for. I think America should be very afraid. Very afraid. Separation of church and state is the one thing the creators of the Constitution did agree on — that it wasn’t to be a religious government. People should feel free to speak their minds about religion but not dictate it or put it into law.

What I don’t understand, honestly, is how anyone can even begin to say they know the mind of God. Who do they think they are? I think that’s ridiculous. I know what God is in my life. Now I am sure that she’s not all just that. But it’s enough to me. It’s enough for me to have a visceral reaction. And it makes me mad.

People need to speak up. Doesn’t mean that I’m godless. Doesn’t mean that I am a murderer. What I hate is this demonization of everybody but one position. You’re un-American because you’re against the war. It’s such bullshit. Fear. It’s really such a finite way of thinking about God to think that your measley little mind can know the mind of God. It’s a very little God that way. I think that God’s bigger. I don’t presume to know his mind. Or her mind."

[SwampG8r]

[marylanddem]

[nc4bo]

[nini]

5. WOW.. I thought she was a hard core repub

Way to go wonder woman!

[beachmom]

13. That's because her husband was involved with BCCI which Kerry uncovered:

http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9F0CE5DB1E3CF932A05750C0A965958260&sec=&spon=&pagewanted=all

Mr. Clifford and Mr. Altman are accused of taking bribes from B.C.C.I. in exchange for concealing its ownership of First American Bankshares, a Washington holding company of which Mr. Clifford was chairman. The two men said they did not know that B.C.C.I. secretly controlled their bank.

"Clifford and Altman had triple roles in the heart of this scheme," charged John W. Moscow, the assistant district attorney, in his opening statement. "They helped the head of B.C.C.I. and they committed fraud, received bribes and used deception to do it." Mr. Moscow said that "Clifford abused his power and nobody in Washington was in a position to take him on."

...

"The prosecutors are saying that a man of this high station found a bunch of strange Arabs and then conspired to mislead the same United States Government that he had so nobly served all his life," Mr. Newman said, his eyes fixed on the courtroom ceiling in mock despair.

"And you're asked to swallow that," he added, as Mr. Altman, 45, wearing a dark pinstriped suit and white shirt, sat at the defense table a few feet away from his wife, Lynda Carter, the actress who played the lead role in the television program "Wonder Woman."

20. I wondered what she could possibly like about McCain. Now I get it.

Oh well, at least she has a problem with Palin. Baby steps.

[nini]

21. Well, I'll be damned.. I checked her out on Newsmeat

and she is a Dem - donates pretty much to Dems only.

[ColbertWatcher]

39. I was too! Nice to be pleasantly surprised! n/t

[vaberella]

6. Lynda Carter for Veep in waiting. n/t

[closeupready]

7. Wow. Powerful rant!

Lynda Carter rocks!

[NatBurner]

8. but how does mighty isis feel about it though?

[cascadiance]

36. I'm curious how "Seven of Nine" Jeri Ryan feels...

Since she was the wife of the former Senator who pulled out of the race against Obama when they had that nasty divorce, and perhaps helped got Obama started on his career to get where he is now!

[samsingh]

37. i really find Jeri Ryan to be incredibly sexy

[gaijinlaw]

42. So are those Borg implants?

[samsingh]

46. does it matter

[SwampG8r]

9. lynda is very religious

i am sure she is a born again
soundslike she has a good read on what jesus was about and is offended by palin on religious grounds

[Pachamama]

11. I'm also pretty sure she has been a Republican for many years...

Wasn't her husband in politics???

[SwampG8r]

not sure really

i just remember when she went religious
i would like to sit in at her church tho
they got the point i think

[beachmom]

16. Yeah, he was involved in corrupt politics. BCCI. See my post above. nt

[Toucano]

31. Wrong.

Some women don't vote the way their husbands tell them to.

Lynda has been a huge Hillary supporter for years.

[Sensitivity]

12. Believe it or not, WE NEED THOUSANDS of Linda Carters to STAND UP across the nation

This is a culture war McCain has turned to, and will lose if he tries to fight this himself.
That is what they are counting on.

[Apollo11]

14. I endorse this message!

[zbdent]

15. On one aspect ...

Palin couldn't carry the magic lasso ... she'd be constantly telling the truth ... and what good would that do to the Republican party?

[beachmom]

17. I agree with her sentiment here, but I would tread cautiously with this one.

Considering her husband's past.

[firedupdem]

18. good one! n/t

[cilla4progress]

19. Go Lynda!

A new Dem spokeswoman? I "wonder" if she's for Obama?

[AzDar]

22. Well... COOL!

:thumbsup:

[Heather MC]

23. Wonder WOMANNNNN, I have always loved her!

to commemorate this post, I am going to put my fat ass in a wonder woman costume this year!!!!!

[elkston]

24. Nice, but she doesn't say whether she'll vote against McCain. (eom)

[progressivebydesign]

25. Wow. And I do believe that she's been republican in the past.

So this rant is really interesting. Regardless of the CNN/Alaska GOP ORCHESTRATED homecoming rally for Palin, and the PR FIRM that has put her mug on the front of all the ladies mags, REAL republicans are NOT happy. Only the religiously extreme ones...

[WinkyDink]

26. Wow! She got started! I always thought she was cool, even through my envy. :)

[Teaser]

27. Go Linda. Get Busy.

It's your birthday.

[progressoid]

28. She needs to use the Lasso of Truth on Palin/McCain.

[Guava Jelly]

29. I was sooo in love with her as a young boy :o)

It is nice to know that I had excellent taste at a young age.

[Toucano]

30. I've been in love with that woman for 30 years!

Cheers, Lynda!

Nobody else has had the courage to tell it like it is except Wonder Woman.

[SeaLyons]

32. Amen...she speaks for sooooooo many..n/t

[Ichingcarpenter]

33. My Daughter use to have a Wonder Woman costume- wouldn't miss an episode

Great Rant by Lydia Carter

[CakeGrrl]

34. If the Repubs want to shove their manufactured "celebrity" out there,

then let's hear from some REAL ones. They have access to the media and they have the ear of a lot of non-political-wonk voters.

Dems have a lot more high-powered celebs in their corner than Repubs.

We've heard isolated comments like this one, Matt Damon's, some pieces on HuffPo...Team Obama should tap some of them to organize a 527.

While the Repub ideology is scary enough, you would think the entertainment industry has some stake in keeping the economy from bottoming out. Hard financial times means fewer movie and concert ticket sales.

35. Lynda Carter used the B word on palin!

"Bullshit".

[Borgnine]

38. Well, this isn't surprising.

After Lex Luthor and Darkseid spoke at the RNC, the entire Justice League is voting Obama!

[gaijinlaw]

43. I thought Darkseid was in Georgia during the convention.

[samsingh]

47. she`s more of a ferrengi type

[Raffi Ella]

40. YEAH!

:applause: I love this commentary! It's so perfect!!


The religious zealots trying to worm their way into Government need to be talked to just like this as do their foot soldiers!

[BlooInBloo]

41. Sorry - all I can do is drool whenever someone mentions Lynda Carter...

Good to see a woman speaking out against anti-woman Palin though.

[polichick]

44. TAKE HER OUT LYNDA!

[rucky]

45. Use your Magic Lasso, Lynda!

Make Caribou Barbie - TELL THE TRUTH!
