Why "Yipping Yorkie Biden" is cute, but "Pit Bull Palin" is evil
Funny that I'd just write a post complaining about politics, with another light-hearted reference to Coco and the Sarah Palin/pit bull comparison. To me, it was an attempt to be funny. But to others, this is a deadly serious matter, and the pit bull reference shows how truly awful Republicans are, to the core. To accomplish this rhetorical task, it is necessary to reframe the analogy by means of very strained attacks on pit bulls (to better compare them to evil Republicans, of course). This dishonest tirade vilifies Republicans by vilifying pit bulls with the following claims: # A pit bull is a programmed fighter. Its handlers throw it into the ring, and it attacks.While Coco's feelings were hurt by that, fortunately I don't need to bother debunking it. Xrlq has, point by point: Just think about it. What images and feelings do the words "pit bull" conjure up? (... with apologies to all sweet-spirited canines)This picture immediately follows:
Yes, just like the vicious pit bulls to whom she compares herself, Sarah Palin loves to maul small children. Excellent post. Read it all. Another reminder that much as I'd like to ignore politics, ignoring things in the hope that they will go away is a poor strategy. But hey, it's not as if I really expected yipping yorkies to have the good sense to leave pit bulls alone.... posted by Eric on 10.03.08 at 11:00 AM

Priceless picture! Only goes to show you how even the rough and tumble need their sleep. Some who study these kinds of things have also determined that one in three are growing into or out of diapers at any given time. Penny · October 3, 2008 09:43 PM Post a comment

A lot of breeds have gotten a bad rep over the years, often undeserved. Dobermans come to mind. There seems to be a human need to believe that there is some kind of dog out there that is an uncontrollable killer, rather than variations in aggressiveness and trainability.
Pit Bulls can indeed be gentle. With training, they can also be dangerous. But Yorkies are pretty much just little yippers and nippers no matter what you do with them. (I'm not trying to offend Yorkie owners here. We have two dachshunds, also yippers and nippers.)
Yeah, elect a Pit Bull Vice-President and you are taking some chance. But Yorkies should never be president.
