Sarah

Don’t you just love Margaret and Helen?  Those gals just get Sarah Palin:

She stirred up crowds across the country to the point that McCain campaign stops frequently resembled a lynch mob.  She mixes religion and politics like I mix gin and tonic but then calls for less government involvement.

likely to turn serious any moment

I ask you … how crazy is this PUMAsphere battle about Sarah gonna get, anyway?  It’s just too wierd, I tell ya.  Imagine a school yard.  A fight breaks out. Everyone runs to the baseball diamond to find … what … a single person standing in the middle of the circle, and everyone is yelling Go Sarah Go?

And that Cinie!  She’s out rousing the rabble as usual, and what can whip us up more than a scary story about creepy wierd what you see ain’t what you get groups?  Better yet, Cinie gives us a twofer:

Contrary to the image that the term “anti-feminist” might conjure up in some minds, the truth is, in just about all ways, “anti-feminists” look, sound, and act just like regular feminists – to a point.  Just like Satanists often hold services much like Christian ones, and, the Anti-Christ would probably come across as very Christ-like until the message he was preaching turned from comforting and inspiring to creepy and weird, so too do anti-feminists appear to be regular-old, garden variety feminists.  And they are, until the message they’re preaching gets creepy and weird.

But then Cinie tosses us dweebs a few clues, to go a huntin’ ourselves for the once & future plans of Ms Sarah. Like when she mentions SarahPAC. Okay, now there’s something I can work with.  I wanna place my bet, but only after knowing how strong my horse is and who her owners are.

Another PAC is Team Sarah PAC, also out of Arlington VA.  It’s FEC Statement of Organization has further clues – it’s affiliated with the Susan B Anthony List Candidate Fund.  Indeed, the document was faxed from an SBA-List fax machine, and they share the same office space in Arlington.  I’m thinking that maybe there’s not a whole lot of separation there? Just guessing though.

As Cinie pointed out, the goal of the SBA-List is to end abortion in this country. Okay, I can see how that’d cause a dust up of confusion when you throw around big time feminist names like Susan B Anthony. Whoa, talk about what you see ain’t what you get.  The Sarah PAC website says it’s all about

Health care, education, and reform of government  … energy independence … conservative principles

Nothing about freedom of choice, or lack thereof. And the list of  Sarah PAC objectives is like a restaurant menu that’s glued shut – no details, just a picture of the table.  I checked inside. Not much there, really. Weird.

You know what I thought was weird also? Why is someone named John Coale the organizer of Sarah PAC?  I mean, I see all these women’s names associated with Sarah PAC – names like Tammy Bruce on the Sarah PAC website, and Emily Buchanan and Melissa Graeff on the FEC forms, and Susan B Anthony for goodness’ sake.  Not to mention Sarah Palin. Yeah!  A women run organization!

So who is John Coale?  Well, he’s the organizer of Sarah PAC. (as well as the husband of Greta Van Susteren).  And he was a fundraiser for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.

Sarah PAC

Silly me – I assumed fundraisers are people who are well-connected supporters sharing the same values as their candidate.  Well, maybe the values are shared – - values of career and access, not ideological values.  How else do you explain that the same person who raised funds for Hillary is now organizing Sarah’s reincarnation?  How else do you explain that Susan B Anthony is about getting women on the same page to roll back freedom of choice?

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, you better check to be sure it’s not faux duck.

buyer beware
