Palin Misquotes Albright: "Place In Hell Reserved For Women Who Don't Support Other Women"

[bridgit]

'At a rally today in California, Gov. Sarah Palin offered up a rather jarring argument for supporting the Republican ticket. "There's a place in Hell reserved for women who don't support other women," the Alaska Governor said, claiming she was quoting former Clinton Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.

The statement came after Palin had recounted a "providential" moment she experienced on Saturday: "I'm reading on my Starbucks mocha cup, ok? The quote of the day... It was Madeleine Albright, former Secretary of State and UN ambassador. ... Now she said it, I didn't. She said, 'There's a place in Hell reserved for women who don't support other women.'"

Actually, Albright didn't say that. The real quote is, "There's a place in Hell reserved for women who don't help other women."'

8. She can't even get a quote off of a Starbucks cup correct?

Have I told you today how much I despise that woman?

[lligrd]

12. What A Friigen Idiot She Is

How dare she try to get to women into supporting her by perverting a quote of Albright's. There might just be a special place in Hell for those that lie as much as she does.

13. how bout some fortune cookie wisdom you moron!

sheesh!

14. OK - so how, exactly, has Palin supported other women?

by denying access to justice for rape victims (by not removing the burden of paying for evidence collected while she was mayor).

by denying reproductive choice?

is there some other way she was a champion of women's rights that hasn't been disclosed?

If women who don't support women go to Hell, you'd better save me a seat, Sarah.
