John McCain has picked Alaskan governor Sarah Palin as his vice president. She’s anti-choice, anti-gay marriage, thinks evolution is a myth, pro-death penalty and a few other things guaranteed to cause instant dislike amongst progressives.
She’s also a mother and wouldn’t you know that it is her status as mother that is the first slam:
How is she going to campaign full time with a baby? Is that any way to treat your child? Can she handle the VP duties and also raise a baby, a 7 year old, and a 13 year old?
Followed quickly with a bit of racism against her husband:
My friends, please welcome the Mayor of Wasilla and her eskimo First Gentleman.
And by a liberal.
And people wonder why some of us are extremely put off by the shit that has happened and continues to happen within the ranks of liberalism as it relates to sexism and racism?

"People who advocate freedom, yet deprecate agitation, are people who want crops without plowing the ground. They want rain without the awful roar of the thunder and lightning.
Without struggle, there is no progress. This struggle might be a moral one. It might be a physical one. It might be both moral and physical, but it must be a struggle.
Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. People may not get all that they pay for in this world, but they certainly pay for all that they get." ~ Frederick Douglas
