Palin's New Disaster

The governor is reeling after nominating for attorney general a man who allegedly defended the right of men to rape their wives. Now, Max Blumenthal reports, she may dump him to save herself.
While priming her political machine for a likely 2012 presidential primary run, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has fomented a scandal that threatens to further erode her reputation in the Last Frontier. In March, Palin nominated Wayne Anthony Ross for attorney general. Ross, a colorful far-right lawyer and longtime Palin ally who sports his initials, W.A.R., on his Hummer’s vanity plates, was once considered a shoo-in for confirmation. However, his nomination was thrown into grave peril when his opponents presented evidence that he called homosexuals “degenerates,” leveled invective against an African-American student offended by a statue of a Klansman, vowed to undermine the sovereignty of Native American tribes, and allegedly defended men who rape their wives. According to two sources close to the confirmation hearings, Palin may ask Ross to withdraw before his appointment comes to a vote.
According to Burton, who detailed the allegations for me, Ross allegedly declared during a speech before a 1991 gathering of the “father’s rights” group Dads Against Discrimination, “If a guy can’t rape his wife, who’s he gonna rape?”
Palin’s hopes for a swift confirmation process were dashed April 10 when Leah Burton, a veteran lobbyist on children’s issues and domestic violence, submitted a letter to the Alaska State Judiciary Committee claiming that Ross publicly defended spousal rape. According to Burton, who detailed the allegations for me, Ross allegedly declared during a speech before a 1991 gathering of the “father’s rights” group Dads Against Discrimination, “If a guy can’t rape his wife, who’s he gonna rape?” (In a subsequent letter, Ross denied the remark and claimed, “I don’t talk like that!”)
Burton said Ross’s statement was consistent with his overarching attitude toward women’s issues. She claimed that he once said during a debate on the Equal Rights Amendment, “If a woman would keep her mouth shut, there wouldn’t be an issue with domestic violence.” Burton also maintained she has been in touch with “a number” of domestic-violence victims who witnessed Ross make “horrible” statements, but are too intimidated to speak out. “Alaska is a very small state and it’s terrifying for these victims to come forward because they’re afraid of retribution,” Burton told me.
Since Burton’s testimony, her father, former Alaska Public Safety Commissioner Richard Burton, wrote a letter of his own demanding to Ross that he withdraw his nomination. “You sir, speak and act like the kind of bully I met many times when responding to domestic-violence calls, some of the most dangerous situations police officers are often in,” Burton wrote. Ross reacted with characteristic fury to the Burtons’ broadsides, barking to reporters that if “anybody said that to me, we'd have a little confrontation because that's a bunch of crap.” At the same time, a grassroots group raising support for Palin's presidential bid called Conservatives4Palin attacked Leah Burton as an anti-Christian "fringe nutcase."
But as pro-Palin forces attempted to push back against Ross’s critics, dozens of op-eds Ross authored during the 1980s and 1990s surfaced as key exhibits in the case against his confirmation. Among them is a 1993 piece entitled, “KKK ‘art’ project gets ‘A’ for courage,” in which Ross defended a local college student who had offended an African-American classmate by creating a statue of a Klansman with a cross in one hand and a flag in the other. “It might have been fun to see [the African-American student] try to remove the display,” Ross wrote. “Then she could have been arrested and her future as a student of the university could have been resolved through the university disciplinary proceedings.”

good piece. I hope Palin fades into oblivion politically.
Oh, no, please not that. I live for Palin du Jour. My dream come true is that Karl Rove's Republican party fractures into little bitty parts and that Palin is on Fox News every day preaching to her little bitty part.
I'm down
With that
kris.
I'd pay to watch.

Agreed.
I hope she never goes away. She is the absolute surest way for the democrats to stay in control.
The same people that sponsor tools like Palin will start spreading their money to the dems too. I would like to see the GOP get its act together and for even a few third parties to emerge. I think we need to clean house of all corrupt and idiot politicians, no matter what political affiliation.
A quick bit of research about this Ms. Burton demonstrates that she's a nutjob. That side of the story has been neglected by Mr. Blumenthal. Poor one-sided story.
Interesting. You Google Leah Burton, crib the keyword, NUTJOB, from the first entry from the -- wait for it -- conservatives4palin.com site, and call Mr. Blumenthal's article one-sided. He never purported to be writing about Leah Burton. This is, in fact, and editorial, and Mr. Blumenthal is under no obligation to be "fair and balanced." The article is, in fact, about Mr. W.A.R.
If you've got some facts from credible sources about Leah Burton, please site them so the rest of us might be enlightened.
P.S. sites in the tank for Palin don't count as credible. Dig harder.

the way I look at it if men like this (WAR) and female hypocrits would keep their mouths shut, women like me wouldnt have to claw and beg for reproductive and basic human rights. Palin was chosen strickly for her looks and on a faux personna... no one bothered to dig a little into the muck and they thought no one else would either!!
This guy represents the core of the Republican party. Palin is not necessarily ashamed of her association him. Just revisit the Presidential campaign. She sounded just like this character.
Ugh, it terrifies me to think about this woman and her ilk in any positions of authority...can you imagine the kind of cabinet she'd choose? Eeeeeekkk!
This is exactly the response all this press about Palin is supposed to achieve.
Scare people with Palin. Then Obama's spending won't look so bad in comparison.

This is exactly the sort of paranoid and missing-the-point-completely delusional nonsense I would expect from a Palin supporter. You seem tohave this idea that her values and her choices can't possibly be newsworthy in their own right, and that the media is trying to make a story out of nothing. What happened to your mind that you cannot see that this woman is an extremist in so many ways? And that the fact that she scares people on her own is why she is in the media? She has extremist contempt for other women and for every aspect of womens' rights; she is married to an extremist who belonged to an organization calling for Alaska to secede from the U.S.; she has lied about every aspect of her life, right down to the mundane question of which newspapers she reads ("all of them"!) . . . I could go on and on but the fact is that despite all this, she *still* intends to go on to have a political career, and you think that media ought to let her go about grasping for one and not ever mention what values are and what sort of policies she supports? Also, it's not as if Obama's spending is going to disappear from the media if they choose to cover this as well. There is room for more than one story each day, in case you haven't noticed.
I don't think that one has to like EITHER Palin OR Obama - His spending should be closely watched - but Palin is really ... well. too much.
Your guys ran the economy into the ditch and you're complaining about the tow-truck. Palin is scary all by herself.
We all will be wishing we had Sarah Palin over Obama before this year is over. I would rather have her kind of cabinet than what Obama has come up with any day. They couldn't be worse than the crooks Obama has put in place to damage this country. Do you liberal nuts not see what is going on around you. Banks have gone under because of what Obama, Franks, Dodds, Pelosi, Reid, Schumer, and the rest have done. The unions who thought these Democrats were going to save them are getting their vote now laughed at. They can now expect lower pay, less benefits, and no retirements. Everything is going up, more and higher taxes are here already, jobs are shutting down left and right, and gas will now skyrocket to enormous proportions. Everyone will be wishing they hadn't fallen for Obama and his con game before it is over.
You mean like invading a country because they were stockpiling weapons, had a nuclear bomb program, and were involved with 9/11?
How many are coming back from Iraq missing eyes, limbs, third degree burns, and psychiatric cases - all for Bush and Cheney's lies? I have news for you: we are in Iraq because of oil and Halliburton. Idi Amin was 100x worse. Ford did not send in the marines because there wasn't any oil.
The financial crisis started when Bush was in office. Gas hit record prices when Bush was in office. The higher oil went, the wealthier the Bush family got. Read a little more, and listen to wingnut radio less.
Bush and Cheney are the ones running a con game. And I detest Palin. I detest all evangelicals. You show me an evangelical, and I'll show you an ignorant bigot.
"banks have gone under because of what Obama...and the rest have done"
I hope you understand this has NOTHING to do with who is in the whitehouse, the same recession would be here if Palin was in Obamas place. Linking the financial crisis to someone who just got into office is absurd. This thing was YEARS in the making. Get your facts straight. Go listen to NPR's Planet Money Podcast to understand why we are in this mess. Then come back and try to blame it on the administration.
Ok what taxes have already gone up? can you prove that? My taxes and everyone I knows taxes are going down in future but nothing has changed yet.
Of the 13 banks that have gone under to date which one was Obamas fault in your opinion? What brings you to beleave that the problems were not inherited?
What have Obama, Franks, Dodds, Pelosi, Reid, Schumer, and the rest done exactly, proveably, stuff that actually happened?
Things going on around us only include real things (as opposed to things going on exclusively in our minds).
Give me something to research and I will do it, I can't research allogations with no substance.
Joanne dear,
I've read a few of your posts and you remind me of many grandparents who have moved to Florida, or Arizona or elsewhere to retirement communities. Many of these communities become targets for right-wing propaganda through daily papers and such. Since your posts read like the baseless, lying right-wing propaganda that is passed around these communities, I thought I should help you by telling you that you have been taken advantage of, lied to and now they've got you passing on their lies! Be careful Joanne, next they'll be suggesting medications you don't need, selling you things over the phone, and having you send money to Nigeria!!
We're all concerned for you Joanne38!! Escape!!
Sometimes Joanne, I know this might be shocking, they will write things to exploit racism with words like socialsm, communism, European and worse. They'll say they are "real Americans", "patriots" or "conservatives" so you'll believe they are good people. If they're good people, why would they lie to you??? But they have Joanne, they really have!!!!!
you can't be serious? how can you blame obama for a situation that was created before he and the democrats came into power?
Sarah Palin is extremely stupid, she never seems to say the right think. Has no knownledge of anything political or economical, how she became Governor of Alaska is mind-bogaling. The people of Alaska cannot wait to get rid of her. She is making the Democrats look wonderful, they love her. Joanne38 I'm sure agree's with Sarah , that the fundermental's to the ecomony were good and that the weapon's of mass distruction are visible from Sarah's window. With Joe the plumber at one window and Sarah and Mccain on the other windows, the liberal nuts need not worry. Saved at Last
"Banks have gone under because of what Obama, Franks, Dodds, Pelosi, Reid, Schumer, and the rest have done."
Seems to me that the banks went under before the November elections and Dubya and his little Paulson boychic dumped 7 hundred billion buckaroos in their pockets without so much as an oversight group to watch the spending. Paulson gave $10 billion to his Goldman Sachs company and then AIG sent another $12 billion their way as well. Party on with the Republicans, it's not their money.
only because of the men who have surrounded her in her career... she could be easily molded and used to suit their purposes and she just ate it up cause money was involved.....there is a word for that.....political prostitution!!
Just another attempt to smear Palin.
Let's not forget the unethical members of Obama camp, most of which somehow, don't have to be accountable to pay taxes, interest and penalties.
You just can't make this stuff up!
If you can't make this stuff up, then why are you doing so?
But you are totally right with your arguments of moral equivalency, advocating spousal rape, defending the kkk, and denigrating homosexuals = not paying the correct amount of taxes on a work car.
Well both cases raise the same question: Are they qualified for the post they're being considered?
Geitner and some of the others with unpaid taxes ultimately did pay their taxes along with applicable penalties, but did that make them unqualified for the Cabinet? Most people agree it does not.
However, I see it hard to defend someone who defended the KKK and spewed ignorant speech about spousal rape and homosexuals. He supports the right to form anti-government militias??? THAT sure makes him unqualified.
I assume this http://www.thedailybeast.com/cheat-sheet/item/palins-tax-problem/palintolog y/ is just a smear on Palin as well *g* I wonder if she will pay her taxes interest and penalties *g*
VenusMuse
Get a grip!! Palin just paid $17,000 in back taxes and she had to pay Alaska back for expenses she claimed while staying in her home. She also owes $500,000 in legal fees for TrooperGate and she set up a fund to help pay her fees. She signed a six figure book deal, but wants supporters to pay her legal fees.
Recently her ex-to-be-son in law's mother was arrested for dealing drugs and her husbands sister was arrested for burglary with a small child in "tow". And.....you want to talk about Obama. Please!!!
AMEN! Palin is not ready for "prime" time. Yes, she is a governor of a state; popoulation 600,000. What is that, one-fifth the size of Chicago? She lost alot of women with the claim no abortion even if her child was raped. If Republicans want such a small government, why do they feel the need to tell us what to do with our bodies?
no... it's NOT just another attempt to smear Palin, it's an accurate reporting of the record of W.A.R., placed in context to his nomination as AK AG.
facts are facts, history is history, the record is the record and, of course to kool aid drinking loons such as yourself, we KNOW reading (must less comprehending) isn't your 'thing' so... i guess we're just gonna have to agree to disagree here, and we'll see you 'wild-eyed' pistol wavers' at the polls in '12.

I know!! I hope Rush, Palin and all these crazies only gain publicity. The nation is in stitches watching the far-right throw tantrum after tantrum, and it only drives them farther into their political black hole. It's sad that the republican party is becoming less and less respected as a legit alternate way of viewing things...but they really don't seem to mind, for the most part.
Couldn't agree with you more, Spasticula!
one, of course, must remember the mission statement of Karl Rove and George Bush and the Repubs.propagated during their party meeting and assemblies during the last eight years. It wasn't , to help the middle class , or improve our education system. the mission statement of the Republican Party, their main goal of the last eight years was to consolidate power for generations to come, and they acheived that.........only they did it for the Democrats.
It would be completely comical if I didn't live in a state surrounded by people who think she's right. But, keep 'em comin' Sarah...maybe the number of nutjobs who agree with you will get smaller.
Can anything go right for her? She is relentless after seeking the presidency in 2012 after her thoughtless answers to nearly every question (and you can't forget the gaffes, of course) of every major interview. But it will be funny to see her in the headlines in 2012 again!

I simply cannot wait.
When baffoons politically succeed (including being on a Presidential ticket), we tell the rest of the world that we don't know how to function as a democracy. How could someone so horrible get so far?
Democracy is dangerous when a country does not invest in and value education. If we do not improve our education system, we won't be talking about race in politics, but ignorant in politics. As soon as the stupid people outnumber us, every state will have Sarah Palins and WARs in office.
Then say it's funny.

I'm sorry, were we supposed to be surprised by this pick? Another glaring example yet again, why we must thank John McCain for picking Ole Sarah as his running mate--he sealed his reckless opportunism at the feet of her very sexy Manolo Blahnicks. Proof also that Sarah is as crazy as all of her appointees.
Max, the muckraker.
Neh, it's a livin'.

This author has a very decided political slant. (I always take that into account.) I read both sets of the political spectrum, regardless.
However, Mr. Ross in a way reminds me of the Bill Clinton sex scandals. Here is why... I can understand that a woman could want to get her 15 minutes of fame and use a famous figure to do it. But when these sex scandals start happening on a 3 month basis... it's like come ON! Someone weld his zipper shut.
However, there is too much evidence that the views of Mr. Ross are too warped for any public service. In fact they are at odds with many of the principles the Republic was founded. I hope this becomes evident and that he is not appointed.
There are so many Republicans I've seen, heck... watch This Week... on ABC with George Stephanophoulos on any given Sunday morning, that are better suited to high political office. Palin is way out of her league and is not (yes I'm going to say it) smart enough to handle the job. Every time I've seen her speak I just cringe. I can't handle another 8 years like the last. I'm tired of the Republicans scrounging the bottom of their talent pool when they have so many/better options.
I agree, but- so what if Bill fooled around? Americans are so naive thinking high powered pols wouldn't do that! The rest of the world considers peoples private lives private, and so have a huge pool of actual talent to draw from. Here we absolutely have to have Jesus Christ himself, but with a perfect wife and 2.4 kids and a record unblemished by anything. And then we howl when they're human. That Edwards fellow is wasted talent because we want our government officials to act like few of us do. I doubt his wife cared about the mistress- by 50 we often find it a relief.
The rest of the world doesn't care about peoples private lives, but can they do the job well? Maybe the Rebuplicans could find an intelligent, honest leader with no allusions to dictatorship if we didn't get hysterical about some chickie he slept with five years ago. You want Jindal? I think not! Or this crazy idiot from the wilds of Alaska?
Although even France wouldn't put up with Mr W.A.R. What a psycho!
Absolute slime...Palin is such a sleaze. Her ideas are repugnant to all thinking Americans as are her choices in representatives. This will leave little to doubt as to why she will never lead in any large way.
God
I hope
Sarah Palin runs
In 2012
She can
Bring

@VenusMuse
Sure the Obama camp has had tax issues - but its seems like an unlikely intelligent statement made by you when comparing someone that targets gays, and apparently claims its ok to rape your wife.
How does that make sense to you? I love conservative rebuttals because they are always the same. Obama's people didn't pay taxes. He's a muslim. This country is turning to socialism (and so what. I lived in canada for 5 years - free health care, oh damn).
Shut up. He won. We'll be better off.
the funniest thing is that Palin also has tax problems
http://www.thedailybeast.com/cheat-sheet/item/palins-tax-problem/palinto logy/
mega lol
What do you know - Palin pals around with racist, sexist scum balls. Go figure :)
Calling a person who works on behalf of victims of domestic violence and on children's issues (a voiceless multitude) a "fringe nutcase" hardly shows the objectivity and concern a future attorney general of Alaska should have, especially when AK rates one of the highest in the nation for domestic violence.
Palin has made another poor choice, in my opinion.
The state legislature is scheduled to make a decision on Ross' appointment April 16.
And the cluelessness continues. Glad to see so many people are suddenly against misogyny.... when it can be used to attack a candidate they hate. So convenient.
But when Democrats had the raving misogynists with their "c*nt" t-shirts, their Rev. Phelps, the Hillary nutcrackers, and a candidate who insinuated women have late term abortions because they get moody - silence. That was so... inconvenient.
Most of you don't care that this guy is a cretin who has been intimidating god knows how many women and men. And kids. All you care about is scoring a partisan point, and making yourselves feel good by pointing out how much smarter you are than someone else.
Admit it - would you have commented about women's rights today if this article *didn't* include Sarah Palin?
would you have commented about women's rights today if this article *didn't* include Sarah Palin?
------------------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------
Yup
I don't think many of 'us' can be considered silent towards dems. I know I spent a lot more energy making sure Hillary didn't become president than I did making sure Palin didn't become VP.
Politics is not a football game. Most of 'us' are not 'win at all costs' fans. I don't know of a lot of your charges leveled at dems, im probably too young, I don't see any reason why any of them nullify the fact that this guy misrepresents all true American values.
"I know I spent a lot more energy making sure Hillary didn't become president..."
Of course you did.
I don't see what's not to believe. I spread news of her shortcomings through a lot of forums and phone banked..... I'm confused as to what your getting at.
what the radical right, yes that's clearly you,
refuse to notice (besides the collapse of the economy under their regime, the build up of Al-Qeda under their regime, the tripling cost of health care for working people under their regime etc. etc...)
; )
is that unlike the Right the Dems Constantly Criticize Each Other.
It's called Thinking about what other people are saying
and feeling free to disagree..it's called the political process
but I guess you wouldn't know about that
when you're stuck with the fox five evening clowns
I realize reality gets a bit dim and twisted
and on top of that
you're All obviously afraid of Limbaugh (only God knows why????)
even your "fearless leader" Steele had to do a very public Mea Culpa
for exercising his first amendment right
(FYI that's the on that comes before the much twisted
"right to bear arms")
Ross is a LOSER on a number of fronts and NOT AG caliberanywhere. Read about some of his cases and his statements; then comment. WAR is not just in the news because of women's rights -- try his statements on gays, the KKK, guns/NRA, native rights, shooting of wolves...and more.
He's a Right-wing wingnut, perfect company for Palin. Together they'd make a perfect bill for the GOP Palin/Ross! The more visible Palin is in nasty nominations like this, the more she cements the likelihood of an Obama second term. Thanks, Sarah.
What perch must you be on to know what most people think? How do you know that "most of you don't care..." What childish nonsense.
Many, like myself, were outraged by the sexism in the campaign. Fewer of us were equally disgusted when it was focused not only on Hillary but on Palin. (Palin is a horrible example of a public servant who requires no sexism to dismiss her. Her policies and personality are enough.) The sexism was greatly discussed in the media. There was not silence. Perhaps you did not get the result you hoped for in the election, but your lies, distortions and name-calling will not convice anyone to listen to your argument.
Most of us chose Obama because we believed him to be the best candidate. I do not believe those who displayed sexism during the campain speak for most of us. Most of us would have supported Hillary for president if a better candidate had not come along.
Grow up and deal with it.
Abso-freakin-lutely.
PRAY that Palin stays in the spotlight. Her antics, associations will speak volumes at election time. Do ANYTHING to keep her healthy, safe, and able to keep her pace. She's there for a reason: sometimes people need to be shown what's wrong, so they can know what's correct.
CMB/Las Vegas
Well, he sounds just like a typical Palin supporter, if you ask me.
if Obama's ratings are high and the Republicans don't think they have a shot at winning in 2012, then they'll send out Palin to run.
Nina, what are you talking about? Seriously, I think you're projecting. Please clarify.
The Limbaugh strategy ran its course, and now Palin's the new target of the White House hit machine.
Well, James Carville did say that Palin was to be next. He wasn't kidding.
Are we to expect a hit piece on Palin every month now?
Riiiiiight. I'm sure the White House is just terrified of a person who ran on a ticket that they beat by 9 million votes.
ROFL
It's easy to hit a target of a negative Palin story per month. Her inept governance ensures that. Whether it's a weak appointment, a budget that doesn't come near balancing, energy legislation she presents so late in the legislative session that it won't be considered until 2010, her lack of involvement in the legislative process, her failure to promote her own gas pipeline or lingering ethical questions (like the use of a private email account insteade of state email to conduct business), Palin is "the gift that keeps on giving."
BUT does the White House fear her? If you listen carefully, their laughter will carry to AK.
She paints the bullseye on herself.
Aw, the right's suddenly whining about "hit" pieces, now?Not whining about the "Obama's gonna raise your taxes" hit pieces (unsubstantiated lies), or the "Obama's a socialist" hit piece (more unsubstantiated lies) or the "Obama's cutting defense spending" hit pieces (an easily proven lie) or last week's "Obama's weak on defense" hit pieces (proved to be a lie on Sunday even as Fox News was pushing it) now followed by the "Obama's trying to get credit for nothing" hit pieces (still more unsubstantiated lies), but when a story comes out with real factual evidence (years and years of solid written comments by AG nominee), you suddenly start complaining?
Or is the right just so used to being lied to that they just don't like stories with real facts in them?
Excellent work Max! One of your best pieces. I suppose Palin sycophants would dismiss this story as either an example of sexism or a typical smear, preferring instead to trust the governor's impeccable judgment and record of defending her gender.
Of additional interest, Jason Linkins at Huffpo has a video clip of this would be AG's comments on Palin's physical allure.

Well it's Alaska dudes. If you don't rape your wife you're going to rape someone. Perhaps your lumberjack pal. I am pretty sure if you live in daylight for 6 months and darkness for another 6, you turn into some sort of Yeti.
In fact a Yeti got runner up in the 'Ms. Alaska' competition the year Palin won so...just saying. Its harsh unforgivable wilderness and if you go there, man or woman, I would side with Bill O'Reilly and say you're asking for it.

Ever wonder what a psy-ops campaign to destabilize a government or polarizepopulation looks like? Am I the only one who thinks that's what we're seeing with Palin, Beck, Hannity, tea baggers (Dick Armey's baby), et al?
