'Why Sarah Palin inspires me' 01 Oct 2008

[hopeforyouin2009]

MCCAIN/PALIN 2008!!!!

[brittcoke87]

Any woman that supported Hilary and is now supporting Sarah Palin is completely insane... She stands for nothing Hilary stands for. Women that say they support her because they are feminists are lunatics. That woman represents the exact opposite of which the feminist movement has fought so hard for. Open your eyes people.

[TonyPstunts]

Seriously though...someone close to me once said, "Its fucked up that the country would rather have BLACK MAN be president than a woman...." yeah...I think it would be pretty great to have EITHER, so having said THAT. I think that to vote for someone soley based on something like sex or skin colour is absolutely Vacuous!

[chalkies]

she's just so sexist aaaaaaaaaarrrrg

[TVP4]

So pretty much she's comfortable with Sarah Palin being president because there will be men around to tell her what to do. O-khey??

[cordedpoodle]

Either this is fake.

Or this gal is a complete ding dong sexist.

[steve100253]

It's sexist women like this who will fuck america in the arse.

[jasonellison34]

her last 2 reasons men led them into war and the implication that they spent too much money as well. why would the over spending gun slinging woman be any different. If her advisers tell her to spend more to support the troops in Iran Iraq Afghanistan where ever she'll dog on do it. Cause Gosh Darnit we need a woman puppet.

[wolfgangmo]

I agree. We do need a woman's hand.

Unfortunately J McHouse's has a penis. So I am not sure WTF she is talking about.

[luxcretia2]

this "lady" is stuuupid.i don`t think i am veeery intelligent, but watching her...i hate this kind of solidarity stuff.this can be dangerous."women solidarity", "men solidarity" etc alike

[beafragal]

Because I am solidary with Luxcretia2, I am not going to call her in the way she deserves. How dare you call dr Long stupid! YES women need to be solidary with ourselves, it is the only way that women will be able to lead real change for a society more fair.

[Patriots4McCain]

Go PUMA's!

Republicans and Libertarians WELCOME YOU!!!!

[vegandeborah]

P.U.M.A I While P.U.M.A. insists they'll elect us The ticket that is the least sexist Their favorite is ape-shit She won't fund a rape kit Does a vagina mean she'll respect us? P.U.M.A. II The media's been far too blunt Conducting their sexist which-hunt So I'll vote against Hope For that doddering old dope Who called his own wife a trollop.

[JAZIBZAH]

me thinks that this Lynette lady should turn into a Republican as her lack of intelligence would suit that party much better.

[contradictioncounter]

Dr. Long - I agree with every single point you made and am also not only financially supporting McCain Palin, I too am actively campaigning for McCain Palin.

[allgoo19]

AlJazeera is pretty much neutral to everything. They post every clips submit to the station viewers may be interested in. They even post some clips of Osama Bin Laden, which source were in big question. I wouldn't blame it on AlJazeera.

So, who was the source of this clip? It isn't a cheaply made clip by a private individual commonly seen in youtube. It's not hard to figure out if you are intelligent enough.

This person probably has always volunteered for the republican candidate.

[bcj999]

Oh whatever lady. McCain picked Palin for one reason and one reason only. He knows Hilary supporters like YOU are bitter about Obama justly out performing Hilary and thus ultimately winning the nomination. McCain is hoping that former Hilary volunteers like yourself are so butthurt that you'll support him all b/c he picked a woman. The only similarity that Clinton and Palin have is that they both have a pussy. On issues though they're completely opposite. Congrats you've fallen into his trap

[HailTheSun]

Obamabots' strong point is neither logic nor rationality. Obama's inexperience doesn't matter but the fact that republican pick for vp is "just" a governor is extremely dangerous. Voting for Obama because he's black is the right thing to do, tolerant and all but voting for Palin because she's a woman is "insane, idiotic, racist". Whatever..

[bp4k]

I think it's stupid, not to say dangerous, to say that there should be a woman in power just for the sake of having a woman in power. I think gender is irrelevant for politics, it's about the person and him or her doing a good job for the country. I know what I'm saying, our Chancelor, Merkel, is crap ... don't fall for the same thing!

[monkeypayson]

Yikes.

[vktrsx]

She is literally voting for Sarah Palin's vagina.

This demonstrates the idiocy of American voters. I am so ashamed of this country.

[infidel100]

Are you insane lady?

[averitas]

You know if I wanted to vote for Obama I wouldn't, just based on how you guys act. You really need to check yourselves, you're giving the party a bad name. How could the average Dick or Jane come here and think they have anything in common with you... my bad, I guess you are the mainstream be all and end all as well as the generation when parents didn't teach common courtesy, intelligent argument, open minds and free speech, not even in party. Thank your parents, i'm sure they're proud.

[amandacalifornia]

1) I don't want either you or other Hilliots' votes. If you can get the hell over it and accept that your candidate losing is part of the democratic process, then great. If not, please switch parties. We don't want people who put their petty bullshit (a.k.a love of vaginas or whiny bullshit) above what they think is best for this country.

2) "Intelligent argument" is not saying, "I'm a lifetime Democrat but the other party has a vagina on their ticket."

Yes, my parents are proud bc I can THINK.

[stinkinfishguts]

Scary.

How about that Portrait of Hillary? That was really something else.

[amandacalifornia]

What a fucking idiot. She readily admits that the only reason why she is completely betraying her own ideology is because McCain picked a CLUELESS BIMBO with a vagina for his VP, along with the fact that she has some petty bitterness about Hillary.

Please, Lynette Long, do us all a favor and register as a Republican. Someone with your IQ would fit in better over there.

[averitas]

Obama stepped on us to get his pockets lined and his friends, not the blacks and hispanics of the 13th. His friend paid one dollar to court for freezing folks out... Obama said nothing. Friend got over 100 mill scot free. He's got over 100 thousand from Fannie, you give him $200, who is he with?

When buildings had no heat and fell apart he did nothing. When they had to go to a shelter, nada. The two buildings that did get built, folks couldn't move back in, cause a board had to approve.

[gregwi562]

You sound pretty bitter dude, as if Obama personally slighted you.

Let's face it: there are no saints running for president and there never will be. And, no, I am not taking your allegations at face value because I am sure you are pro-McCain. And of course he is the skeleton in the closet.

[amandacalifornia]

First of all, if you're going to start a policy debate, at least make it coherent.

Second, do you even know how much crap is on John McCain? I can only assume you're either biased or uninformed to think that OBAMA is the one with skeletons in his closet.

[ezsharedock]

Bwahaha FAIL. HRC wanted to be treated like any other candidate and she got it. If it was a guy they would have poked and prodded his record as well. But if it's a woman that's just sexist. So you turn on a smart, qualified woman to support probably one of the dumbest in US politics. GG nubcake!

[sidds1601]

She is so retarded. First of all, I dunno why she thinks there WAS a conspiracy against Hillary Clinton.

Second and most of all, the idea of running the country with the best possible mate (VP) is more important than the issue of female inequality. Grow up u old woman!!! What a whiner!

Its due to these kind of idiots that America

is not where it should in its present standing in the world.

You can whine on ur own time where ever the !@#$ U WANT!

[kjhgl1]

Lynette Long: Complete idiot.

Just because there ought to be more women in politics doesn't mean that someone is qualified to govern just because they are a woman. Palin is not qualified. Her selection was a calculated political stunt to elicit Long's precise response. What Long doesn't seem to realize is that she's been duped.

[javster420]

"John McCain has a lot of personal integrity?"

This lady is DELUSIONAL! McCain lies and flips flops like a fuckin' double sided welcome mat!

Could I have Lynette Longs email address, I have some shit to share with her.

[hotspur2514]

Who the FUCK is Lynette Long?

and why the fuck do I feel like blowing my own brains out!!!

Well done AJ! When western civilization is falling down around your arse, you can ALWAYS count on Al Jazeera to come up with a comedy gem like Lynette.... FFS!

[FazS1981]

What has SEX got to do with ANYTHING?!

I don't agree with all their views, but Thatcher, Bhutto, Rice, Clinton... - these are accomplished intelligent women who should inspire future generations.

Please don't try to shoe horn Palin into their mould just because she is a woman. Frankly, it is bitter and naive.

[tacklinfuel1]

Thatcher all but decimated Britain, she is an embarressment for many Britons, incluing myself. For sure Britain needed reform but not the destruction of organised labour and monopolies that she ushered in. She was an 'Iron lady' who was ignorant, stubborn, cruel, heartless and surrounded herself with sychophants.

[Joshiak]

McCain/Cripple--Palin/Dumb Cunt

[takerdust]

While America is moving toward Socialism, the only thing keeping the Republican Party alive are the old school conservative democrats and moderates leaning toward the GOP as the Democratic Party moves further toward the far left.

Conservatism is dying out sadly enough.

[cobwebhead]

Country First, gender 2nd. Vote Obama/Biden.

[Oldwino2]

Menopause or Altzheimer's.

[tacklinfuel1]

This woman is an idiot, not a feminist. Feminists want equality and thus want women to be elected on their merit in competition with their male counterparts, not there mere possession of female genetalia! The fact she is voting for McCain, purely because he has a female VP shows how shallow and token her 'feminism' is. How she falls for a cheap and patronising stunt, how ability & merit has gone out of the window to be replaced with this cheap and manegable 'character politics'.

[EyesoreII]

I wish I could thumbs up this comment ten times.

[desiiii420]

i'm guy so my view on feminist issues is very limited. but voting for a female in the white house for the sake of having 'female' betray the concept of equality? like a black man in the white house for the sake of having a 'black man' in the white house? shouldn't the person deserve it, only then is equality achieved whether for race or sex?. p.s. could palin have come close to winning the nomination in the republican field, even to the extend that Hillary did in the democrats?

[TomMarAlem1987]

Oh Lord God, save us from the fires to come. These people are making decisions based on superficial reasons. "She's a woman. I want to see a woman in that seat." The problem is that people in the US are kept at the superficial level.

[MrDarkbloom]

We can laugh at how ignorant this woman is, but you see, that's the problem with US politics. People are manipulated to be ignorant - they are kept away from real decision making. Is she a redneck? It's a tempting call, but by not listening to these kind of views, we are just going to demonize peoplw, who with a bit of education and genuine participation in political matter, wouldn't be so cynical. Small town Americans with their guns and God. It's mostly a reaction the elitist system in the US.

[theDHC]

She's only voting for McCain because his VP is a women. when you vote for someone based on their gender, that is sexist.

these delusional Hillary supporters voting for McCain are the archetype of the idiot American.

Why can't these women realize that Hillary's policies are diametrically opposed to a McCain/Palin administration.

[MrDarkbloom]

Wow, this misguided woman's view are so indicative of the problem with the US electorate. The American people have been so marginalized by the lack of real demoacracy and involvement in politics that they simply vote on character, image and so-called values. What about the issues for goodness sake? You know, the stuff that actually affects people's lives? This woman unfortunetly reflects the thoughts of many in the US. The US isn't a real democracy, it's a business society.

[Vapor115]

zomg lets vote based on sex!

[BrioBarb]

My sister,you are truly misguided.This is NOT a woman's right issue,and for women to make it such, rather than a Presidential Elec. will cause us to do a number on ourselves, w/pople like you. McC is BUSH all over again,and the 2 have all but destroyed our Nation.You are not getting SP.for Pres. You will get McC, who is a very disturbed & unbalanced PTSD war-hero.Wake up.You are doing exactly what McC & the Rep. were wanting you to do,you little SHEEPLE.The Rep mind set is how we got where we R.

[RichieHardcore13]

Yes it would be great to see more woman in politics, but how about some smart ones, instead of redneck dunces like Sarah Palin.

[qbtalshbh]

in fifty years if the world still exists, kids will be watching videos like this in school. never again, we will tell them.

[sandorcsaba1972]

Is this a true reflection of the American voters?  If it is... good luck to all of you

[Type59]

If America is seen to have a vigina. Its gonna get screwed hard.

At moment most countries do not want to be labeled gay by screwng America through A hole.

[Type59]

This women is nutty for Hillart. Fking Dyke. Dont care about policies but feminality.

[legalizethegreen]

If i typed how i felt about this woman and her opinion i would be removed from Youtube!

[larsontic]

On the day of the election that half-wit should be deemed not competent enough to vote, and placed under house arrest for 24 hours.

[Person009]

Why the low ratings?

[NumaNuma187]

Because Sarah Palin is a twit.

[meettravis]

You do women and humankind a grave disservice. Do you really think Palin will stop the war in Iraq? You might want to explore her anti-Islam religious beliefs. And, just because she kills defenseless animals doesn't make her a feminist.

[jinjin16]

Another example why America is in the toilet.

[Casiowerk]

This level of myopia is insane; casting your vote purely because of a candidate's gender.

Palin IS NOT Clinton!

It just shows what little integrity some people have.

One of her ridiculous arguments is that with men in power we see more wars - Palin will be VICE president (unless the unthinkable happens) to a man who seems to crave another war.

Utter shite spewing out of her.

'I have a lot of friends who are Obama supporters and some of them are hardly speaking to me.'

it's easy to see why

[quixoto]

Sooo... am I to take it that anyone, as long as they were in possession of a vagina, would've been ok by this person?

[grokgov]

idiot.

[pu186]

.... on second thought, to think all of this could have been avoided had obama chosen clinton vp. jesus christ...

[Vekin86]

We might need a woman's hand, but certainly not THAT woman's hand...

[hh1608]

if mccain was smart he would've made angelina jolie his running mate. much smarter, hotter, and well known than Palin.

[ForestBjorn]

So apparently Winona LaDuke doesn't count as a woman? She was the green party vice presidential canidate in 2000. Just because third parties don't get elected doesn't mean they should be dismissed.

[oceanbound222]

Sarah Palin reminds me to always flush my toilet bowl.

[gzyyy6]

sarah is nothing like miss clinton some how this just seems right

[mchavez2375]

Holy crap some ppl in this country are so stupid!

[YasinIsse]

wow what a waste...she's just jumpin on the bandwagon cuz Sarah is a girl!

[themengsk176]

wow. so in order to keep from being bankrupt and engaging in more wars, we vote to try and retain the party that caused this mess, simply because their figure head gave the position to a grossly unqualified woman just to spite the party elders who wouldn't let him have his first choice (lieberman)

great idea.

[CarmenOfSpades]

Well, women, eh ? Yea they're nuts.

[bondthewall]

Kids...don't smoke crack.

[pu186]

the fact that she is even comparing sarah palin to hillary clinton renders all of clinton's accomplishment null and is an insult to leaders. why is al jazeera interviewing ignorants like this as if their opinion represented some sector of the american populace. it is a misrepresentation and a grave disservice to women voters of America.

[Kamal767]

Man I should have let the video finish before posting my comment!!! She is voting for McCain/Palin because she thinks there have been too many wars?!?!?!?! WHAT AN ABSOLUTE IDIOT!!!!

[doglin82]

if you think John McCain has a lot of personal integrity, then you are a moron. That is not to say that the Democrats are any better.

[HEYBUDD]

Voting a person into a leadership role simply because of her gender?.....Man, this country is in trouble.

[Kamal767]

This offends me greatly. Some people are just so stupid they should not be allowed to vote...

[NumaNuma187]

People like this woman INFURIATE ME.

[finkythepoo]

This woman's attitude is sexist & undermines her own point. Yes it's a shame there aren't more women in politics, & it needs to change. But to assume a candidate can lead based upon their sex is foolish beyond belief! Her stance validates opposing sexist notions of male superiority.

I'm from New Zealand the first country to give women the vote & our current Prime Minister is a Woman serving a record 3rd term in office She was elected bcoz of her politics, her integrity & her wisdom. NOT her sex.

[cyklonb1989]

another example of people voting with their heart rather than brains.

[sharshur]

What an idiot! You are comfortable with someone being president because they will have advisers? How retarded is that? Advisers are unelected! Will they be the same idiots who have been destroying the world for 8 years?

[zbrunch]

she's got a vagina, that's all the qualification i need.

give me a break. this woman is pathetic. is she really going to make her decision based on genitalia?

and for the record the Dems were not unfair to Hill-dog, she didn't represent the base of the party that was against the Iraq war. if she had voted against the war, she would've won.

[NumaNuma187]

Totally. Damn those woman-haters. Get a vagina into office, no matter how horrible of a politician it is!

[fatherlorris]

Oh god, feminists make my blood boil with rage.

[sheepwshotguns]

so screw the issues, screw the need for competance, screw america's future, we need a women in power...

blatant sexism against the male gender.

[preludedriver226]

cool select your candidate for sexist reasons, so that makes you that much better than gender discrimination Hillary Clinton suffered? So you're off acting just like the ppl who'll vote for McCain because he's white and Obama's black. How could you support plain? I thought you ppl were right to choicers? So making sure womens rights are not going to be messed up when McCain erases row v way is less important then you living to see a woman in the Whitehouse?

[Hilariousity]

this woman is a fool. just because Sarah Palin is a woman does not mean she will make a good canidate

[mrshutter77]

A perfect example of how stupid the american voter is, voting for someone just becuase they are a woman, instead of paying attnetion to see where they stand on the issues they want to see a woman be president or vice president. PLus she maybe one of those people who woudl never vote for a black candidate anyways so she is using her feminism as desguise to her own racism. But this shows you the idiocy of the American voter, and why Obama will lose this election.

[stakerchildfilms]

you may want sarah palin but she is pro-abortion and i think that that is wrongbecause it should be women's choices to get it

[larsontic]

Emily Pankhurst will be spinning in her grave.

[sheepinnit]

Palin is out of her league, she is nothing like Hillary Clinton. This woman is talking garbage.

[ccisugarloaf]

oh my goodness

you should vote green party

the female who calls her self Palin

is going to screw up your country

but i guess you don't know that there is a woman running for president and her running mate is also a woman and they do not want to destroy this country for oil but then again you did not watch the news

[slowmode122]

Women like this dont know true politics. They dont understand the USA needs to be saved. We cant have 4 more years of bush

[IMIMjnfjsk]

I agree with you completely
