Will they actually air this on TV or just let it float around on the internet?

Man, I hope this gets serious air time. Now I'm extra glad I made that donation to them in Palin's honor.

Garafalo was a real "get" for them.

Turning off the comments on YouTube for this was a smart move.

I have a hard time believing people can be this heartless. Is there any sort of semi sane sounding reason that you would do this to a rape victim? How did they justify themselves?

@5-In the case of Palin, it was because rape kits come with emergency contraception, which is "a form of abortion."

Everyone who has ever seen an episode of Special Victims Unit knows how important rape kits are.

"We're sorry. This video is no longer available" :( Anyone have an alternate?

@6,

No, it doesn't. A rape kit is for evidence collecting purposes only.

@9-The alaskin bill funding rape kits also included money towards emergency contraception: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=75453 and also

Thanks for the links. Still pretty fucking heinous though.

preaching to the converted. the remaining undecided women voters are not feminists.

Oh it's absolutely heinous. What was that from her gay friend about her religion not affecting her governing? Cause that's not what it looks like from where I'm standing.

I don't think tax exempt organizations are permitted to make ads explicitly calling on people for or against a candidate. I think it's a "fan ad".

@14: First off, it's the PP Action Fund. PP has two distinct wings: advocacy like this, and healthcare, to keep them clear of campaign finance laws and assure that the healthcare mission isn't compromised. Second, if you listen carefully, the ad doesn't once urge a vote for or against anyone, it only explains their voting records. None of the "magic words" of Buckley v. Valeo are used.

I get really angry when the sex ed hit piece on Obama is played and because I'd like to think that our side can aspire to better I feel compelled to say that this issue is not a fair argument. Palin was mayor of Wausilla, but it was the hospital that was charging not the city and that had been happening before she was elected mayor. And while there's evidence that she knew about it, it's unclear what exactly she could have done as mayor to change the policy.

It's a totally fair hit on McCain in terms of his Senate vote, but the issue isn't quite as clear for Palin.

Palin hates Planned Parenthood.
