The point may be valid, but the sincerity of the motives behind the person making it become the issue. Palin's only using this as a pretext for an attack on the other political side and for that reason makes the whole thing ring hollow and insincere. In other words, a buncha bullcrap.

And for the record, I don't stand behind Maher's comments, I find them to be in poor taste, I think it adds nothing to the national dialogue and he should take his misogynistic views and stick 'em where the sun don't shine. I don't make excuses for him like Sarah Palin did with Limbaugh. See, as I said before, that's being consistent. That's upholding a principle because it's the right thing to do, not because it's a tool that's politically expedient.

August's point is also valid. While you may be correct about Women's Rights issues, the left has no leg to stand on at all in comments about political grandstanding.

I'll give you that, but I couldn't resist pointing out the political hypocrisy.
