  5. Liberal Feminists Backing Sarah Palin Over Vanity Fair Hitpiece?

    → Flopping Aces | 2 Sep 2010 | 6:11 pm MDT

    I have to say, I’m a bit surprised that the liberal feminists who have taken every opportunity they could to attack Sarah Palin have now come out to defend her from the disgusting Vanity Fair article that was released yesterday: Yesterday, Vanity Fair released yet another long hatchet job piece about Sarah Palin.
