Palin’s ‘Limp’ Comments Draw Fire, Counterfire

"Impotent, limp & gutless reporters take anonymous sources and cite them as factual references"

“Impotent, Limp and Gutless.”

Earlier this week, Sarah Palin appeared on the Sean Hannity show and tore Vanity Fair a new one for their less than flattering article about the former Alaska Governor’s relationship with her husband and family.

“Impotent, limp and gutless reporters take anonymous sources and cite them as factual references.  It just sleighs me because it’s so absolutely clear what the state of yellow journalism is today that they would take these anonymous sources as fact.”

The Advocate, a gay rights magazine, used the opportunity to attack Palin.

Is Sarah Palin using code words to slam gay journalist Michael Joseph Gross, a frequent Advocate contributor who wrote the much-buzzed-about profile of the former vice presidential nominee in this month’s Vanity Fair?

But Chairman Chris Barron of GOProud, a Conservative gay rights organization, was having none of that.

It is The Advocate, not Sarah Palin, who is guilty of “gay-baiting.” I don’t think most people associate the words “impotent,” “limp,” or “gutless” with being gay – I know I certainly don’t. If the folks at The Advocate think these words are euphemisms for being gay or lesbian then I think that speaks volumes about their own internalized homophobia.

Classic.

As Palin’s political stature increases, so will the media attacks.

Just as she predicted herself.

It will be interesting to watch as the media and the left uses every opportunity they get to bash Palin over the next 18 months, and how she fires right back at them.
