Hell for women!
Ezra Klein and Ta-Nehisi Coates have some appropriate observations about this charming little gem from Sarah Palin.
If Palin's strong claim proves to be accurate then this really is some exceptionally sad news for American women and, indeed, women all over the world--Sarah Palin, for instance, is a fairly unpopular figure among women. Unpopular enough, perhaps, that the place in hell for those who don't support her won't actually be all that special.
And what will happen to the women who do support Sarah Palin when, at some point in the future, they are faced with an electoral choice between two different women? I suppose some large percentage of those women will also end up in the "special" quarters of the fiery pits.
What this really shows, at least to me, is that, for all of Hillary Clinton's failings during the primaries, her courting of the women's vote was extremely tactful and understated. Probably because, unlike Palin, she was confident in her broad appeal to women--and, I'd guess, she was able to nearly maximize their support as a result.
Comments
The only really reliable and appropriate observation I have of Palin's rally speech in Carson is that it was complete nonsense. Maybe Albright should have said, "There's a special place in hell for crazy bitches that lie or misappropriately use quotes out of context to scare Christian women into voting for them."
Can you even imagine being a woman and not being able to vote?
