Who's to Blame for Sarah Palin? | The Nation
[Link: www.thenation.com...]
It’s a horrifying thought: Is Sarah Palin progressives’ fault? Could it be that we brought this on ourselves?
Anna Holmes and Rebecca Traister think so. As they argued in their New York Times op-ed yesterday, “If Sarah Palin and her acolytes successfully redefine what it means to be a groundbreaking political woman, it will be because progressives let it happen.” By not doing enough to nurture their own women leaders, Holmes and Traister say, it was Dems who cleared the way for Palin and her raging pack of grizzlies to maul our politics. Progressives “have done nothing to stop an anti-choice, pro-abstinence, socialist-bashing Tea Party enthusiast from becoming the 21st century symbol of American women in politics.”
