Naomi Wolf, who also writes for Huffington Post, has published an interesting opinion piece at AlterNet (link below). If you like her point of view or not, this is definitely worth reading.
From Naomi Wolf’s article:
“…Palin will help to establish a true and irreversible ‘fear society’ in this once free once proud nation….”
There is quite some bashing in the article, but hey, today you’re still allowed to have your own opinion and tell it (that might change soon).
BTW, anybody seen the movie “The Manchurian Candidate” ? It does not matter which version (1962 / 2004) – I guess you get the picture.
From Naomi Wolf’s article:
“…What’s the plan? It is this. McCain doesn’t matter. Reputable dermatologists are discussing the fact that in simply actuarial terms, John McCain has a virulent and life-threatening form of skin cancer. It is the elephant in the room, but we must discuss the health of the candidates: doctors put survival rates for someone his age at two to four years. I believe the Rove-Cheney cabal is using Sarah Palin as a stalking horse, an Evita figure, to put a popular, populist face on the coming police state….”
