Mrs. Palin is language elitist, radical

Sarah Palin believes and actually said that “feminists” are “A cackle of rads who want 2 crucify other women w/whom they disagree on a singular issue; it's ironic (& passé).”

This could be a case of the kettle calling out the pot for cooking up a tempest in a tea pot!

Haven’t she and husband Todd been involved for decades in an extremist form of Conservative Christianity that practices exorcism and demands a woman’s unwavering obedience to her husband? Sounds pretty radical to me, at least for AMERICA.

Isn’t her husband a long-time member of a political activist group that is STILL working to have Alaska secede from the U.S.? If THAT isn’t radical, I don’t know her brains from horse hockey.

What exactly IS a cackle as used in this setting? Is it meant to be denigrating? Why does Mrs. Palin display an almost obsessive need to mis-use words or create new words when the good old American-style English language contains adequate nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs for real Americans with real working knowledge of same? This constantly placing herself above English vocabulary and grammar rules, not to mention those that use them, feels a tad elitist, doesn’t it?

Did she receive enough English language education in Alaska during her formative years? Perhaps she could take a refresher course along with additional studies of world history (why DID North and South Korea split up, anyway?), foreign policy (look! I can see the leeward side of an island ruled by the Kremlin!) or good manners. Could her constant attack-mode communication methods represent the acting out of deep-seated insecurity?

Doth she protest too much?

As for her opinions about feminists … who does she think fought for and secured her right to vote? Or her right to own property independently of her husband? Or her eligibility to be a Mayor? Or a governor? Or even her right to disagree?

America deserves answers to these questions.
