Hasbeen Wonder Woman on Self-Made Wonder Woman: ‘Be Afraid’
Posted by Dirty Harry on Thursday, September 11th, 2008
The spittle must’ve been flying like a lawn sprinkler.
It was a simple question: “So Lynda, how do you feel about Sarah Palin?”
Don’t get me started. She’s the anti-Wonder Woman. She’s judgmental and dictatorial, telling people how they’ve got to live their lives. And a superior religious self-righteousness … that’s just not what Wonder Woman is about. Hillary Clinton is a lot more like Wonder Woman than Mrs. Palin. She did it all, didn’t she?
ME: Yeah, Hillary did it all. You know, if by “all” you mean leaching off the success of a man who uses and humiliates her.
Cigar, anyone?
No one has the right to dictate, particularly in this country, to force your own personal views upon the populace — religious views. I think that is suppressive, oppressive, and anti-American. We are the loyal opposition. That’s the whole point of this country: freedom of speech, personal rights, personal freedom. Nor would Wonder Woman be the person to tell people how to live their lives. Worry about your own life! Worry about your own family! Don’t be telling me what I want to do with mine.
ME: She takes her two-year, thirty five year-old Wonder Woman stint a tad seriously, no?
I like John McCain. But this woman — it’s anathema to me what she stands for. I think America should be very afraid. Very afraid. Separation of church and state is the one thing the creators of the Constitution did agree on — that it wasn’t to be a religious government. People should feel free to speak their minds about religion but not dictate it or put it into law.
ME: Has any presidential candidate ever talked about their faith more than Barack Obama Who’s Not A Muslim? Any? But they’re hoping he’s lying, so…
What I don’t understand, honestly, is how anyone can even begin to say they know the mind of God. Who do they think they are? I think that’s ridiculous. I know what God is in my life. Now I am sure that she’s not all just that. But it’s enough to me. It’s enough for me to have a visceral reaction. And it makes me mad.
ME: Mmm-kay.
People need to speak up. Doesn’t mean that I’m godless. Doesn’t mean that I am a murderer. What I hate is this demonization of everybody but one position. You’re un-American because you’re against the war. It’s such bullshit. Fear. It’s really such a finite way of thinking about God to think that your measley little mind can know the mind of God. It’s a very little God that way. I think that God’s bigger. I don’t presume to know his mind. Or her mind.
ME: With no choice, I put this rant through my liberal decoder ring. Take this with a grain of salt — the ring’s not always right, but here’s how it translates — and I did check it twice:
LITTLE MISS WAL-MART SHOULD’VE ABORTED TRIG.
Grain of salt.

Kensingtonon 11 Sep 2008 at 12:23 pm 1Hmmm.
Well, look. At the risk of stating the terribly obvious, Ms. Carter was not cast as Wonder Woman for her brains.
Kyleon 11 Sep 2008 at 12:29 pm 2Well, that made no sense.
Addison DeWitton 11 Sep 2008 at 12:30 pm 3Seperation of Church and State? Is that thing still around? I thought George Bush and the theocrats did away with all that.
Kiton 11 Sep 2008 at 12:39 pm 4First three quotes DH used made some sense, yes, from a deranged left-wing viewpoint that I completely disagree with, but I could understand what she was saying.
The 4th and 5th paragraphs however…
WHAT THE HELL IS SHE TALKING ABOUT?!?!
If she had said blee-gla-goo-goo-ga-ga-dee-too-baba it would have made more sense!!!
EPorvaznikon 11 Sep 2008 at 12:44 pm 5Thank God I saw some entertainers at that Hollywood McCain fundraiser last month.
kishkeon 11 Sep 2008 at 12:45 pm 6I feel so very fortunate to receive life lessons from Wonder Woman.
Blackiswhite, Imperial Agent Provocateuron 11 Sep 2008 at 12:49 pm 7Whew! I’m glad that’s settled. I was so unsure about how I might vote in November, and I kept asking myself “How would Lynda Carter vote?”
Now I know and my world is a better place.
The REAL Wonder Woman indeed. The Wonder is that she hasn’t expired for lack of anyone reminding her to breathe.
Growltigeron 11 Sep 2008 at 12:49 pm 8“No one has the right to dictate, particularly in this country, to force your own personal views upon the populace — religious views.”
So, just what religious views is Governor Palin dictating?
“That’s the whole point of this country: freedom of speech, personal rights, personal freedom.”
Uh, Ms. Wonderbra? Isn’t this freedom of speech thing, personal rights thing, personal freedom thing exactly what you’re doing right now. Under George Bush.
“Nor would Wonder Woman be the person to tell people how to live their lives.”
Isn’t that what you’re doing? Telling Gov. Palin how to live hers?
“Worry about your own life! Worry about your own family! Don’t be telling me what I want to do with mine.”
Wonderperson has a serious case of Palin Derangement Syndrome. She’s incoherrent and needs pharmaceuticals.
Fact is, she’s the one worried about Governor Palin’s life, Governor Palin’s family. Governor Palin doesn’t know Wonderfemale exists.
The Liberal Decoder ring worked just fine. Because Governor Palin did not abort Trig, the wackos have gone around the bend. As I posted somewhere else on Dirty Harry’s Place, Gov. Paliln has shown by her “choice” that Feminists and Leftists are not about choice at all.
Flashon 11 Sep 2008 at 12:50 pm 9I had such a huge crush on her as a little kid. I loved her frontal lobes….and I don’t mean her brains.
Carloson 11 Sep 2008 at 12:50 pm 10Take this with a grain of salt
Deep thoughts from a woman who’s remembered for dressing in leotards and playing a comic book character but who’s entirely irrelevant in real life.
Johnny Ed's Babyon 11 Sep 2008 at 12:58 pm 11DH
Is there a problem with the education system out there? I get the feeling you could post these ’stars’ bloviating all day.
Can’t any of them at least make an intelligent argument against her without making themselves look like fools?
Now when will we hear from Corey Feldman or Jan Hooks so we can make sure we are an informed elctorate?
Uchuck the Tuchuckon 11 Sep 2008 at 12:58 pm 12Uhh….
Was I like in a coma and just woke up? Did I miss the imposition of a fundamentalist theocracy in Alaska? (NO ONE EXPECTS THE ALASKAN INQUISITION!!!)
Well, bang goes one of my adolescent fantasies.
Addison DeWitton 11 Sep 2008 at 12:59 pm 13Hey kishke
Be thankful not just for life lessons, but her theological pearls of wisdom,
“I know what God is in my life. Now I am sure that she’s not all just that. But it’s enough to me. It’s enough for me to have a visceral reaction. And it makes me mad.”
She’s the Boethius of Botox.
Chris Bon 11 Sep 2008 at 12:59 pm 14Its as if the ghost of Oliver Cromwell was running for VP.
Rodriguezon 11 Sep 2008 at 1:08 pm 15I used to like Lynda Carter.
I find myself saying that a lot these days about other celebrities, too.
Today I went to Barnes and Noble and flipped over a copy of US Magazine. Darn, that felt good.
hairryon 11 Sep 2008 at 1:09 pm 16Linda Carter=Dingbat
Mrs. Righton 11 Sep 2008 at 1:09 pm 17What am I missing? Have I missed a Pallin speech or interview that would fill in the gaps? When did Mrs. Pallin profess to know the mind of God? Has she stated that he wants to impose her religious views on the country or make them law? Or are the libbies freaking out because since Mrs. Pallin chose not to terminate her pregnancy due to the challenges she would face with a child with Down Syndrome, she will somehow enforce that everyone else does the same?
Really, I’m confused. Please, someone clue me in, because I loved her acceptance speech and thought any political party would be blessed to have her as a member.
JDespiritoon 11 Sep 2008 at 1:10 pm 18Wonder Woman’s mother Hippolyta chose life. Granted she sculpted Wonder Woman out of clay, but its life nonetheless.
rrpjron 11 Sep 2008 at 1:12 pm 19It’s not just her — this is pandemic. My Phd. sister-in-law, a good liberal, sent me a nasty anti-Palin screed only a few days after Palin was chosen. Apparently an instantaneous consensus cohered overnight among liberals that Palin is a closet Czarina of the Klondike right. They utter these inanities not only with a complete lack of irony of the fact that the pressure to conform one’s life to rigid social codes, i.e., the true dictates — how and what to eat, live, drive, dispose of your waste products, say and not say, etc. ad nauseum — comes entirely from the left. But also with a total lack of evidence that Sarah Palin has ever dictated anything to anybody. It’s a madness.
Stickwick Staperson 11 Sep 2008 at 1:13 pm 20These people are really frightened by genuine religiosity, aren’t they. Separation of church and state forbids the establishment of an official state church. It’s not freedom from religion, and it does not mean that religion cannot inform the state.
JimmyCon 11 Sep 2008 at 1:13 pm 21I’d be curious to hear one specific example of how Sarah Palin has been forcing her religious views on the population.
Of course, she can’t provide one, because they don’t exist. Kind of like the people who are supposedly having their civil rights violated by the Patriot Act.
Thomas Talionison 11 Sep 2008 at 1:14 pm 22I’m not religious, but isn’t the bible supposed to be the mind of God?
And I don’t think you need a religion to tell you it’s wrong to kill babies.
A strong woman like Palin is obviously intimidating. A wonder woman indeed.
Mr. Wolfon 11 Sep 2008 at 1:16 pm 23What is it with all of these Hollywood types who are so skirt-clutching terrified of Sarah? Is there a dry diaper left in the L.A. area? The next ground tremor DH feels won’t be an earthquake; it’ll be the knees of pansy-boys like Damon shaking from the thought of being confronted by a real woman, not to mention the quivering vapors that the shrill-gals are getting over, um, the same reason. For Marx’s sake, you twits; grow a pair (of anything!) and get out there and campaign! Tell us the reasons why we should vote for O’Bummer and not why you’re all so freakin’ terrified of the lady that reminds you of the grade school librarian who kept you in detention for a week after she caught you sneaking a peek at the anatomy books because you were too afraid to talk to a real girl!
(Of course, there are no reasons to vote for O’Bomba, but they could at least try.)
^..^
Bobon 11 Sep 2008 at 1:18 pm 24Someone should begin to trace the church/state meme that has exploded in the past week.
Two days ago, at O’Hare, I couldn’t hold my tongue. In a book/mag shop, one know-it-all woman was expounding to two other credulous twits about “church and state” this and that. I used her loudness to interrupt her, then let them have it. I felt rude, and I’m sure they weren’t persuaded. But, sanity was momentarily restored.
PerfectTommyon 11 Sep 2008 at 1:19 pm 25Thank you for a chance to vent about a Lynda Carter annoyance from many years ago, when her show was on the air and people cared.
In High School, I was active in Young Life, a nation wide nondenomenational Christian high school organization. I went to an event in Sacramento (raft races on the river) and there was a concert. A guy named Freddy Langston was singing at the concert and Carter was going to be a part of the concert. Langston rehearsed with her before the event. There were signs all about for “Wonder Woman”. But at the last minute, Ms. Carter decided not to go on stage. I heard later that her husband/manager said, “This isn’t our kind of crowd”. So she didn’t go out, disappointed the event organizers, Langston and mostly the high school kids ready to cheer for her.
I’m kind of happy today I didn’t get a chance to cheer for her that night.
billypaintbrushon 11 Sep 2008 at 1:19 pm 26At least she finally got to the point, nothing matters but abortion.
Stickwick Staperson 11 Sep 2008 at 1:19 pm 27My Phd. sister-in-law, a good liberal, sent me a nasty anti-Palin screed only a few days after Palin was chosen.
I don’t know what to make of this sort of thing. Does it mean liberal women deep-down long for traditional roles? That seems to be the case, because here comes a genuinely self-made woman — not someone who rode in on the coattails of her man, but someone who did it all by herself — and these women just hate her. I don’t get it.
Palin has an approval rating of about 60% with men. With women, it’s like 43%. If McCain/Palin aren’t elected in November, it’ll be because women rejected her. If ANY woman tells me anything about sexism in this country again, I’m going to throw this in her face.
Kendamaon 11 Sep 2008 at 1:20 pm 28Ha! This from a liberal — the very people that wish to tell us what to eat, whether we can smoke, where our kids can go to school, which specially-designated “victim groups” get special treatment, and (in the universities) what we can say about said “victim groups.” Oh and they want to take what you earned and give it to someone who didn’t earn it.
News flash — Palin did do it on her own. She didn’t have the benefit of a husband who was President. Sure, she’s a believing Christian, but that does not automatically make her a fool (and they call us bigoted!)
The only reason this person is calling Palin the “anti-Wonder Woman” is because she’s not a Democrat. If she was, all other things being equal, we’d be hearing about how she is this feminist trailblazer challenging the racist-sexist-homophobic patriarchy.
But she’s a Republican. Therefore she is Hitler.
Man, if a black Republican was running for President, suddenly “coon jokes” would be in style once more. They will say actual, unambiguous racist things. I’m not talking about “he criticized Black Republican’s policies, therefore he is racist.” I mean stuff like “doesn’t that boy know what’s good for him?”
Hmph.
Zundfolgeon 11 Sep 2008 at 1:20 pm 29Separation of Church and State has become a leftist code phrase for; People that believe in God should be disqualified from office.
Ohio Wolverine momon 11 Sep 2008 at 1:23 pm 30Wonder if she has always hated America, or if it was only after her husband was tried (and acquitted) of bank fraud—had something to do with Middle Eastern banks. She has lived in the DC area for a few decades—-kool-aid must taste the same there, as well.
Conan O'Lenomanon 11 Sep 2008 at 1:25 pm 31Like vampires recoiling from a crucifix. Hmm…
Inspektoron 11 Sep 2008 at 1:27 pm 32It’s clear. She’s just a bigot. She has a set of assumptions she applies to anyone who is a Christian, or a Christian who is not of the “approved” or “tame” variety. She’s exactly like those old racists who assumed behaviours due to skin coloring. “Oh, those fillintheblanks! They’re always lazy, goodfornothing, thieving, etc. Or they tend to X, Y, or Z your fence/car/hubcaps/wife.”
Just the same. She thinks all Christians are evil, vicious tyrannical whatevers that want to - hell, I don’t know, but she probably doesn’t consider us inviting her to a potluck dinner - the most realistic stereotype. Instead she seems to think we’re automatic tyrants (which would be an excellent name for a band, by the way).
She’s just a stupid bigot, after all is said and done.
Jeff Baileyon 11 Sep 2008 at 1:34 pm 33Uh-oh. Sounds like it’s back to that rehab for Lynda.
Patrickon 11 Sep 2008 at 1:42 pm 34Wonder Woman said this - Don’t get me started. She’s the anti-Wonder Woman. She’s judgmental and dictatorial, telling people how they’ve got to live their lives….. Hillary Clinton is a lot more like Wonder Woman than Mrs. Palin.
Hillary Clinton said this - “We’re saying that for America to get back on track, we’re probably going to cut that short and not give it to you. We’re going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good.”
I guess if a democrat tells people how to live their lives it’s ok. Actually I don’t seem to remember Sarah telling me how to live my life.
Dylan Brunson 11 Sep 2008 at 1:44 pm 35Fascist liberals. Sarah Palin vetoed a bill banning gays from getting state marriage financial benefits (she’s for treating them equal under the law, not actual marriage). She has ignored social issues as Governor. They think shes evil for not killing Trig, that’s its.
Father Caligarion 11 Sep 2008 at 1:46 pm 36I hope our side realizes that all of this left-wing celebrity lunacy is more than just an attempt to assure Obama’s election. It is laying the groundwork for resistance in the event that McCain wins. Democrat politicians will again be intimidated into avoiding the slightest appearance of working with a Republican administration.
The Bush administration has done a poor job of combating this. I don’t know what the answer is, but I hope McCain posts a sign in the Oval Office that reads: They want to destroy you, not work with you.
eeyoreon 11 Sep 2008 at 1:50 pm 37Kendama,
If I remember correctly, Michael Steele from Maryland, a Black Republican, was portrayed in blackface by liberals. Of course, the jokes would come back
It is amazing so many people who discuss how judgmental Evangelical Christians are, seem to be so judgmental themselves. They don’t see the “Christian Right” savaging Palin for her daughter’s out-of-wedlock pregnancy and don’t understand it, so the conservatives must be hypocritical since they don’t act like the liberal playbook.
Tangoon 11 Sep 2008 at 1:55 pm 38Cheese & rice, i’m never gonna get back those 120 secs reading her quotes, am i? Bigot to the max.
mushroomon 11 Sep 2008 at 1:56 pm 39Stickwick Stapers says:

I’ve been saying this from the first day with Palin. Men — i.e., real men with testosterone — love her.
Women are going to be less drawn to her. My wife will vote for McCain but she does not like Palin. I expect that from NARAL and the NOW-nags, but my wife is a very attractive woman and extremely socially conservative. There is something about Governor Palin that just rubs some ladies the wrong way.
I also wish to protest the current picture of Lynda Carter — a classic photo of her in the Wonder Woman outfit would have been much more appropriate.
pandaxon 11 Sep 2008 at 2:02 pm 40I wonder if all the people who have been crying about us being mean to Roger Ebert will agree that Carter was being too Palin. Of course they won’t because it only works one way. What really be funny is to have someone like Sean Hannity or even better Mark Levin standing next to her and take her to task for her comments. Like all lefty stars she’s used to being able to run her mouth and move on. If she was confronted she be shown to be the clueless idiot she is.
RufusTon 11 Sep 2008 at 2:06 pm 41Wow! What language is she speaking? I honestly don’t have a clue what she is talking about.
Enderon 11 Sep 2008 at 2:07 pm 42My neighbors in NJ still maintain Alaskan residency and tomorrow they are getting brand new furniture and redecorating their house.
I asked if they hit the lottery. They said, “No, we get our dividend checks tomorrow, $3300 for each (5) of us.”
So fuck all, I’m moving to Alaska.
Lynda Carter— Goes on the list.
Full Metal Deer Platoonon 11 Sep 2008 at 2:09 pm 43To paraphrase Billy Madison, “Ms. Carter, what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your incoherent screed were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this board is now dumber for having endured this. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.”
Stickwick Staperson 11 Sep 2008 at 2:34 pm 44mushroom — There is something about Governor Palin that just rubs some ladies the wrong way.
It’s funny, women say they’re all for strength and independence, but when a woman really exhibits those things, they recoil. I’ve noticed that the kind of women who really appeal to men — and I don’t mean the sex-bomb types, but the kind men actually want to spend time with — don’t appeal to other women (who tend to be extremely competitive with each other, so maybe it’s envy).
I’m a woman, and I was immediately drawn to Palin. Then again, I’m a gun-totin’, former-athlete, from the North kinda woman, who could be her little sister.
Leo Grinon 11 Sep 2008 at 2:36 pm 45Mrs. Carter’s “the anti Wonder Woman” comments have to be understood as coming from the very bowels of anti-conservatism, more so than most.
Like Mrs. Palin, Carter is a former beauty contestant, but unlike Mrs. Palin she’s also a self-professed chronic alcoholic whose husband was tried (and ultimately acquitted) for securities fraud. Meanwhile, the famous comic book character that has served as Mrs. Carter’s meal ticket for three decades was created by Bill Marston (1893-1947), a proto-feminist sexual pervert who lived together with his wife and another woman in a ménage à trois, and who also helped invent the polygraph test, that dubious contribution to crime fighting with a long and sordid record of letting spies and liars off the hook (this obsession with the Orwellian pursuits of forced truth-telling and thought control later manifested itself in Wonder Woman’s Lasso of Truth).
Not only that, but the other woman in Marston’s threesome was Olive Byrne, who herself was the niece of Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood and the champion of “race hygiene,” forced eugenics and sterilization — techniques designed specifically to weed out, by force if necessary, children just like Palin’s Down Syndrome son. When Dirty Harry guesses that at the base of Mrs. Carter’s comments is “Little Miss Wal-Mart should’ve aborted Trig,” he comes much closer to the truth than he knows. The character of Wonder Woman was birthed in a liberal extremist, Utopian cesspool awash in such thoughts.
The reason for Mrs. Carter’s poisonous vitriol is that, outside of the fantasy worlds of comic books and TV land, Mrs. Carter and Wonder Woman have no claim to the moral high ground now occupied by a strong, corruption-fighting woman of real-life moral character like Palin. Palin’s meteoric ascension to the feminist stratosphere has served to tarnish the golden tiaras of faux, ersatz Wonder Women like Carter, and we can’t have that, can we?
Carter thinks Palin is a frightening threat to freedom, but the truth is that Carter is free to drink, carouse, and bitch all she wants in Palin’s America. It’s people like Palin that need to be afraid, should the Wonder Woman crowd ever assume power and begin forcing their program of forced sterilization, abortion, and euthanasia on people like her and her young son. Thank God that the vast majority of people in America, even most liberals, would choose Palin’s world of God, Country and Life over Carter and Marston’s of perversion, dissolution, and thought control any day.
Jillon 11 Sep 2008 at 2:37 pm 46“We can’t just drive our SUVS, eat everything we want and set our thermostats on 72 and expect the rest of the world to be okay with that.”

EPorvaznikon 11 Sep 2008 at 2:53 pm 48Love that story, Ender. I’ve got a buddy up in Alaska, two-term Iraq vet turned postal worker (he enjoys the irony), and he told me his check came this week, too. Said he needed a new pair of shoes, but I recommended another gun to his arsenal.
Matt Helmon 11 Sep 2008 at 2:56 pm 49Crap!!! I had a mad preadolescent crush on Wonder Woman in the 70s, and this blow of her stupidity is almost too great to bear. Now if the chick who played Isis on Saturday mornings feels the same way, I’ll be totally crushed.
StevefromMKEon 11 Sep 2008 at 3:10 pm 50*sigh*…I agree…that Linda Carter crush is gone.
Jim E. Popcornon 11 Sep 2008 at 3:28 pm 51Well Wonder Woman was an Amazon.
“She’s the anti-Wonder Woman. She’s judgmental and dictatorial, telling people how they’ve got to live their lives. And a superior religious self-righteousness … ”
I’m not saying the above describes Sarah Palin, but it is a pretty good description of an Amazon. Maybe Lynda Carter’s just not a method actress.
Stephanieon 11 Sep 2008 at 3:30 pm 52God all of these old cows, feminazi man hating fat hogs coming out of teh wood work with such hate. Well Linda kiss me arse you dried up old hag.
PerfectTommyon 11 Sep 2008 at 3:39 pm 53Mushroom, My wife wasn’t sure whether she would vote for McClain. She will now because of Palin. She admits partly because Palin is a woman. So it’s not just men she’s attracting.
Jdespiritoon 11 Sep 2008 at 3:43 pm 54From Gibson’s interview with Sarah Palin just moments ago:
Sarah Palin on God:
GIBSON: You said recently, in your old church, “Our national leaders are sending U.S. soldiers on a task that is from God.” Are we fighting a holy war?
PALIN: You know, I don’t know if that was my exact quote.
GIBSON: Exact words.
PALIN: But the reference there is a repeat of Abraham Lincoln’s words when he said — first, he suggested never presume to know what God’s will is, and I would never presume to know God’s will or to speak God’s words.
But what Abraham Lincoln had said, and that’s a repeat in my comments, was let us not pray that God is on our side in a war or any other time, but let us pray that we are on God’s side.
That’s what that comment was all about, Charlie.
trzupron 11 Sep 2008 at 3:45 pm 55Geez Louise. She’s obviously developed an immunity to the Golden Lasso.
Shroom: second that on the pic.
Manbearpigon 11 Sep 2008 at 3:52 pm 56Sarah Palin was never telling anyone how to live their lives. That is completely ridiculous. It shows that Lynda Carter didn’t even watch the convention speech.
I am not going to do a point by point rebuttal because it just isn’t worth it, but I am going to say that people like Lynda Carter are complete hypocrites, because they’re the ones constantly trying to force their beliefs down everyone’s throats. Celebrities like her think that the public worship them and hang on their every word.
Furthermore, the only thing these idiot liberal women are really afraid of is the abortion thing. Even if abortion were made illegal tomorrow, women would still have a lot of rights, far more than women have in certain other countries. Women would still be able to vote, work wherever they want (within reason), own property, inherit, own a gun, run for office, etc. It really bothers me that these liberal women think that women’s rights begin and end with abortion, and that simply isn’t true.
I used to like her, but no more. It’s one thing to simply disagree, but it’s another to insult someone by calling them ‘dictatorial’ simply because they are pro-life and pro-gun.
TROon 11 Sep 2008 at 4:03 pm 57Dammit, another woman I would have screwed until she opened her mouth - to talk.
Thudon 11 Sep 2008 at 4:27 pm 58I have been a quiet practising Catholic all my life but lately anti religious crap from debased Hollywood types like this has made me just a little bit firmer in my beliefs and just that little more ready to share those beliefs…libs thrust their perverse beliefs into our faces everyday backed by activist judges and the weight of a biased media.I can’t do much ,but what little I can I will.
Stephanieon 11 Sep 2008 at 4:33 pm 59What I’d like to know and like to have explained to me is how being pro gun or even pro life is bad and dictatorial. Please Linda when you are done stuffing your chubby face explain to me how being pro life and pro gun ownership, being pro blue collar is being dictatorial? And to make it harder I want you to show me historical evidence of this lunacy you have fabricated.
soulpileon 11 Sep 2008 at 4:58 pm 60Wow… this makes me sad. I grew up on Wonder Woman in all it’s cheesy glory. (Never held a candle to Batman, though… or the Incredible Hulk.)
I don’t think I’ve seen Carter in any other work. Too bad she’ll always be related to Wonder Woman.
Robert Lindseyon 11 Sep 2008 at 6:53 pm 61So, if you go to church you are ipso facto a theocrat? Is that the rule? Unless you are a Democrat of course. I’m not sure what caused this outburst of anger, but man, like so many others, I’ve been in love with Linda Carter since I was 10.
@Inspektor, Automatic Tyrants. HA! I should start collecting band names. I’m always saying “that would be a great band name” to my wife. Drives her crazy.
Robert Lindseyon 11 Sep 2008 at 6:55 pm 62I forgot to mention that Carter was in Sky High.
SPOILER ALERT !!!
She had a line “I’m not Wonder Woman you know.”
RESon 11 Sep 2008 at 7:05 pm 63Sigh - I read a lovely analysis of the problems our elites have with Gov. Palin (and those of us in Flyover who recognize in her our neighbors, our fellow church-members, ourselves) and cannot now find it. Piffle.
Many have pointed out that Gov. Palin has never, to anyone’s knowledge (KNOWledge, meaning based on facts and evidence, as opposed to intuition or conspiracy theories swallowed) said anything at all like those claims made by Carter. But facts aren’t relevant here. This is bigotry, pure and simply.
Carter starts with certain presumptions about conservatives and projects those onto Gov. Palin. In her mind Conservatives want to impose religion on Americans, Gov. palin is conservative, therefore Gov. Palin wants to impose her religion on America. Such premises are no more amenable to reality than is the belief that negro bucks all want to rape white women ot the idea all Jews have hooked noses and are money-grubbing or that (to quote Bill Maher) American Indians are the most spiritual people on the planet (Bill’s lumping of several hundred various tribes into one identity says much about his prejudices.)
Phoenixon 11 Sep 2008 at 7:14 pm 64And she’s supposed to be a republican. Confused some?
Wonder Woman was a vigilante who tied people up with a truth-compelling lasso.
That’s when her creator wasn’t playing (admitted) S+M stories with her. She advocated “kind” bind masters.
GOT to? Ahem, Miss Law And Order.
She does not flaunt that way, but isn’t superior truth the point?
Is LC atheist, or would she care to explain how she chose her religious beliefs without contrasting with any other?
Cruised on coattails, lies, and professional crime, and doing approximately nothing she claims, while insinuating she made the sun rise. Impeachment is proof of presidential entitlement. To psychotic megalomaniac dictators.
Her brain being invisible, I must deduce that she refers to stem cells and abortion, and her casual church group mentions of “God” approving of the war and the pipeline. Holocaust! Those are as “today issues” as rape and murder, or “stop the war!” . Can she explain all her blather without basing on morality\religion?
No, that’s stunningly lying Hillary Worship.
dumb redundancy.
Braaaaains.
Explain, without getting all fascist ass at us? I want the right to choose!
She prefers that everybody demonize one position, the opposite of hers.
(huh huh…. I said “body”)
Absolutely, so stop faking that claim that anyone did.
Except for freedom, murder, abortion, etc. etc. etc.
And who claimed to know his whole mind?
Translation: THIS IS MY AMERICA, SHUT UP DEMON.
The screeching you hear is coast to coast abject fear.
After all their tsunami BS about being the “progressives”, only to get the fake sleaze of Clintons and then Bush 2x… now they see an accomplished republican woman poised to bulldoze to the finish line and alter politics for a generation. Bill Clinton was the fake first black president, and Hillary was the fake first female co-president -and now the real first VP woman is PROUDLY conservative with the Antiabortion in her arms on tv? VAPORS OF DESPAIR.

You’re right about that. And McCain will do what he always does: join with the Democrats to denounce Republicans. I’ll vote for him—and the liberals’ disgusting attacks on Governor Palin are making that easier—but I believe he’ll return to courting the approval of the New York Times if he wins. I hope I’m wrong.
Jack Marinoon 11 Sep 2008 at 8:00 pm 66Who cares what some old has been broad who wore silly outfit that didn’t look right on her when she had the curves. She isn’t even working now, she doesn’t matter to the big picture. Who cares.
EvanaJoyon 11 Sep 2008 at 8:19 pm 67I’m a woman, and I was not thrilled about voting for McCain. I did not vote for him in the primaries, but was planning to vote for McCain as a better option than Barack.
Palin being picked for VP made me enthusiastic about the ticket.
I am watching in stunned disbelief at the meltdown that the press and Hollywood are having over the pick.
whiskeyon 11 Sep 2008 at 8:30 pm 68Mushroom — Sarah Palin “married beneath her” to Todd Palin, a blue collar guy. Instead of say, John Edwards, for all his flaws preferable because he’s more high-powered.
Yes, many women find Palin objectionable on that basis alone. That she had five kids, and was able to use her husband and extended nuclear family (parents were still young enough to help instead of needing help themselves) also ticks them off.

Michael Hutchisonon 11 Sep 2008 at 11:24 pm 70I can’t tell you how crushed I am to hear such paranoid, hateful nonsense from someone I’ve loved since I was 7.
The day Palin was announced and DH posted that hot, hot photo of Palin, I immediately thought, “Oh my gosh… It’s DIANA PRINCE!” I went on a Google Image search trying to find a matching pic of Lynda Carter.
And now this.
As one of the few lifelong DC Comics fans on this blog, I have to tell you: Lynda does not own Wonder Woman and she doesn’t really know the character that well.
The Amazons are hunters. Palin is, Hillary isn’t.
Wonder Woman is known for her own actions, not for being the wife of someone famous.
And Wonder Woman, by the way, is a worshiper of the Greek Gods who is absolutely certain of her religion. AND she was sent to Man’s World to constantly nag everybody about trying to live in peace and behave like her people.
Lynda Carter had a beautiful smile and a fantastic rack, but she’s not William Moulton Marston nor is she the legal owner of the character. DC Comics may be a bunch of left-wingers but how much leeway are they going to give an actress to go out using their licensed character to slander a political figure?
John Wrighton 12 Sep 2008 at 12:17 am 71I had such a crush on her when I was a kid also: and it was not just her good looks, a lot of actresses have really good looks. She had that magical ability to project through the camera a warmth and a charm. You wanted to like her. With or without a red white and blue bathing suit, she always played likable characters.
It is so sad that these actresses won’t just “shut up and sing”, because it is painful to want to dislike someone you want to like.
Conan O'Lenomanon 12 Sep 2008 at 1:15 am 72I think she’s afraid Palin’s gonna make her go to church?
Danielon 12 Sep 2008 at 5:51 am 73“No one has the right to dictate, particularly in this country, to force your own personal views upon the populace …”
I wonder if she’ll spout this crud should ‘The One’ become
world leaderthe American president, and institute hissecret policecivilian “National Security Force” that is equal in funding and strength to the American military.
Johnon 12 Sep 2008 at 9:04 am 74Google “Lynda Carter” and “BCCI” and have some fun. She didn’t seem to have any moral qualms when Steve Trevor … excuse me, her husband, Robert Altman (the other Robert Altman) was implicated for bank fraud involving some of the more undesirable people around the world.
Bob ended up paying $5 million and agreeing not to involve himself in further banking without approval from the federal government. So husband working with foreign dictators to launder money? A-OK in Lynda’s eyes, because that helped keep her in money. Sarah Palin? A threat to the future of the world.
