Palin’s Bus Vandalized With ‘Media Whore’ Sign
http://gawker.com/5807529/



Sarah Palin was still in New York earlier today when one of the city's seven million resident commies managed to "tag" her garish AmericaBus.

The good folks at Rumproast have posted several photos of this sign, "I, THE MEDIA WHORE," which was sacrilegiously placed over a monster image of the preamble to the United States Constitution for nearly 15 minutes. The bus was parked outside Fox News headquarters. Palin was inside, sacrificing several large albino alpacas to Fox News chief Roger Ailes as part of a standard fealty ritual.

Is it okay to call Sarah Palin a "media whore"? Let's have a National Conversation on Sexism, in the comments. But yes, it is.

39. I agree, there are things you can't get a sex worker to do no matter how much you pay them
Comparing Sarah to someone like that is an insult to sex workers everywhere

112. Oh yeah...
Definitely. In fact all Democrats should be apologizing all the time for this horrible affront to Sarah Palin, at least for the next two weeks. Fox can do a show about it and demand constant apologies for a crudely made sign taped to her stupid bus when we have no idea who even was responsible.

This is the most absurd way I have ever heard of of trying to get your name in the press.

Women are called whores; men are called man-whores. So it is sexist.

146. Hell, I call myself a slut
Long ago I taught scuba in HI., I was skinny and tanned, and single.
So many girls, sigh, but that was 30 years ago.

So, slut is appropriate for either sex.

Carry on.

We are not talking about sex when talking about being a 'media whore' unless who think palin is looking for sex on the political trail.

115. Well technically
I think the usager here is only incidentally related to sex and that 'whore' is being used in context to her relation with the media. There have been many congressment in the last hundred years or so that have been referred to as a 'whore' for one economic interest or another. Granted the analogy to sex is annoying but it is such a convention of language that I don't think it even means anything anymore.

50. If you looked up and knew the actual definition of the word "whore"
you would know that it doesn't matter if "man whore" is a term used by other as uninformed as you.

It is unnecessary as a whore can be of any sex. Or rather, sex does not make the whore.

51. You're response isn't clever enough
1) I haven't actually used the term "Man-whore" in any context other than in this thread.
2) My post was a response to a request for "man-whore" links-not in defense of the value of word, but just to settle a dispute over whether such links exist. They obviously do...

I know you're defending your point, but you are arguing with the wrong person. I am an object voice in this issue, siding with no one, and only stating a fact: Man-whore is a word - something you seem to agree with...

Pretty simple, really, and I would think that someone of your intelligence would see that.

didn't know the meaning of the word "whore".

Nothing clever about my responses. Truly nothing clever or necessary about your responses either.

88. Technically it's two words.
Adjective/noun.


In the case of Palin, or the usage on that bus sign, it was noun/verb. Doesn't make it sexist.

And he's a man, but no one I know bothers with splitting infinitives. We all just know him as a whore. Is that sexist?

119. I think that's a false equivalence.
There is no racial aspect to the sign at all. It is directed at one person and one person only. Also, a good portion of Republicans share the same feeling so, really, anybody could have placed that sign there.

171. There's a sexist aspect to it
Is that much better than a racial aspect?

Also, when the voting starts in about seven months, we'll see what Republicons really think about her if she's on the ballot. The Iowa Repukes tend to be very heavily fundie, they went for Hucksterbee a few years ago. Mittens might win in NH, but then Gingrich eats his lunch in SC.

The Rethugs have abandoned winner-take-all for the most part in their primaries and caucuses. Only the candidates with enough money to reach the finish line are going to be viable, and that's not going to be either Bachmann or Pawlenty. Romney has enough money, but the fundies will never support a Mormon.

Frankly, I expect most of the country-club Republicons to simply give up when it comes to the general election. So far, they've not done too terribly bad with Obama as President and either a Republicon or Blue Dog Congress. There's a decent chance that they could have both houses of Congress after the 2012 election, and many independents would vote for such as a counterbalance to Obama if it looks like he's going to walk away with it.

117. What?
Just because she derides the 'lamestream media' doesn't mean she doesn't make herself a spectacle for it whenever possible, use it for all its worth, and attempt to get her name in or on anything she possibly can.

Her attempts to rub herself against the "rolling thunder rally" are indicative of this.

"nothing to do with the media" indeed. Such a suggestion is absolutely absurd. I suppose her little tv show was carried by moosecarts and projected onto cloudbanks by swarms of fireflies.

If said offense can be be merely pulled off and thrown in the nearest trash can, does it still qualify as vandalism?

until they arrest someone for this and they are found guilty by a jury of their peers, I will assume it was done by someone in the Palin camp.

It's not okay to call Sarah Palin a "media whore" if she has stopped being a media whore. Until then, she and the other media whores of any gender must wear the shoe that fits.

Or, "I am not a crook".

I am not a media whore. (that's why I'm on TV discussing it) :rofl:

She already has such a low approval rating. This may make a few others think about her constant self-promotion of nothingness.

169. I guarantee she will not use the term 'media whore'
She will simply refer to vandalism, and perhaps the term 'victim' will come out of her mouth, but only in a general sense, like "People who stand up for this country are always being victimized" or something like that.

Her general approval rating is low, but in the Repuke party, it's enough to get her nominated, if she really set her mind to it. She'd trounce Pawlenty and Bachmann, and the fundies have no one else to support. Newt and Mitt will tear each other up, Gingrich in the South, Mittens in the North.

She doesn't have to win the election this winter and spring, she only has to win the nomination, then depend on the jobless rate to rise, which looks quite possible. She'll give the President a run for his money if that happens.

She's very, very dangerous. The rest of the Republicons are assclowns, but she's been plotting this since before she and Gramps were defeated.

first of all, i don't think anyone should be doing such a thing to anyone else. Sarah Palin may be the biggest attention hog there is, but I if the media wants to follow her around like a little puppy dog that' their problem. Doing this just encourages it and frankly I think it's juvenile and wrong no matter who it is done to.

If the truth is offensive, the problem isn't the truth.

My worry this will only serve to let Palin paint herself as a victim.

The big bad commie not real American Liberals are so afraid of her they are trying to silence her. And her supporters just eat it up because it feeds their prejudices.

Though admittedly I have no idea how to not feed their prejudices. if something doesn't happen the way they think, they just ignore it or change what they saw.

143. When did Hillary take a pretentious looking bus from DC to NYC and...
park it in front of her own "news" network, pretending she was thinking of running for President?


"3. A person considered as having compromised principles for personal gain."
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/whore

Notice, the use of the word "person", not "woman"

No, the word has a general connotation, and a verb form, which refers to performing actions that are not honorable in order to gain financial reward. I think that description fits Sarah, not Hillary.

here at the DU! We love free speech.

So, Hillary didn't tell the truth once. Not good, I would agree. Hardly equals the foolish campaign of Sarah, does it, now?

Not that I would prefer Hillary in the White House, but many here freely admit that they would. Thank heavens for free speech, even letting user trud post his/her thoughts.

I just like to point out the many many years of public service of Hillary Clinton versus what Sarah has done in her life.

She wouldn't be where she is now without the incredible amount of interest she generates on the left. It really is a symbiotic relationship.

162. I've seen this a lot
1) some left leaning type does something that would be denounced if done by a right leaning type, is instead cheered on.
2) someone points out the discrepancy.
3) others say "oh well at least our side apologizes, those bastards on the right never would!!!!!!!!!".

Oddly missing is step 2a: where someone on our side actually apologizes for doing this.

Yeah it makes a big difference if one side is willing to make amends and the other isn't. However more often then not it's a matter of pretending that one side makes amends on the other does not.

164. Ed Schultz apologized after similar hand wringing
I've yet to hear Glenn Beck apologize for calling Obama a racist, or Landreau a prostitute, or Limbaugh for saying Michael J Fox is faking.....

And besides, this sign posting was done by a random person (maybe not even a Democrat, yeah I'm taking the Jared Loughner isn't a teabagger tact).....unless you can prove it was Anthony Weiner or Hill Clinton.....no apology is coming.

173. Right, so there will be no apology for this
hence the argument that "it's ok when we do it, because at least we apologize!" is invalid here.

No so?

141. "Festooned" is a more appropriate description
than "vandalized." Nothing was damaged here and a little truth was spread.

150. She probably put it there herself
to deflect criticism away from the fact that the "Rolling Thunder" escapade didn't go very well, and now she can say she's been "victimized".

159. Childish and dumb
It's only going to help her with her base while most of those who reflexively hate her are going snicker like little kids.

I loath the 'Palin Derangement Syndrome' when my fellow libs start acting like monkeys flinging crap around and howling rather than dealing with the real and qualitative issues that *explain* why she has a following. Instead of answering the right with rational argument we have idiots that 'act out' like spoiled children and exhibit a degree of hatred indicative of shutting off all higher brain functions not seen on the left since the days of Nixon.

I respect no one, left or right, that resorts to name calling, vandalism or anything other than civilized debate on the actual issues.

The morons who do crap like this and the idiots who approve of it do more harm than good to the cause of liberalism.

Of course I don't like her nor want her elected, but childish crap, and approving of it makes me embarrassed to be of the left.

161. A piece of paper and some tape is not vandalism
unless the paint job comes off with the tape.

I doubt there is any damage to the vehicle or the paint.

Media whore? It's almost a requirement for a politician. Her problem is she's a batty right-wing media whore. Not like "our" media whores, Pelosi, Schumer, the list goes on.

If that piece of paper is news, it's really a slow day on the Palin bus tour.
