Twitter Hates Palin

October 2, 2008

I decided to ‘twitter‘ the Vice Presidential debate this evening and I was very surprised how prevalent the anti-Palin sentiment was - specifically the HATE leveled at her.  If Twitter is any measure, our political system is broken - we have lost the ability to respectfully disagree.  Ironically, much of the ‘hate’ rhetoric was from women.  Twitter was basically a constant stream of ‘I hate Palin’.  Really. I am not kidding.  Check out a few comments from the twitter-stream this evening:

aa86: Watched the debate and hate Palin even more. I don’t want to hear the word “maverick” for quite some time
marigola: Sarah Palin, you are not like me…you’re one of those fucking idiot Lifetime Channel watching hoes I hate…
