Is Sarah Palin exploiting her son’s disability?
See my post on Open Salon: Is Sarah Palin exploiting her son's disability? - Becky Blitch - Open Salon
I write today to offer another viewpoint on Sarah Palin's much-touted advocacy creds. To be blunt: it's bullshit. People with disabilities, their families, and all equality-minded Americans are being mislead about which ticket is truly progressive on disability rights issues. Worse, Palin is exploiting her own son in the effort.
Update: Wow, seems I've hit a nerve! My essay (which I now wish I'd proofread more carefully) just got moved to the Open Salon cover. Eep! Screenshot below for posterity.
Update: And now I'm above the fold on the Salon homepage... this is just too cool.
