It`s simply thing. Sarah Palin quote coffee cup she saw from Starbucks mocha cup, which featured a quotation from former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.
This was happen At Carson rally last Saturday. Sarah Palin was introduced by Shelly Mandell, president of the National Organization for Women’s Los Angeles chapter, who acknowledged that she was a lifelong Democrat.
“It is an honor to call her a sister,” said Mandell, who emphasized that she was there as a private citizen, not as a representative of NOW. “America, this is what a feminist looks like.”
Then Palin started speech. She mentioned that one can be progressive and conservative, then quoted, or slightly misquoted, a well-known Democratic woman, Madeleine Albright.
“It’s like kind of providential yesterday what happened to me,” Palin said. “I am reading on my Starbucks mocha cup the quote of the day. You’ll never believe what the quote was! It was Madeleine Albright, former secretary of state and U.N. ambassador, and Madeleine has as her quote of the day for Starbucks — now she said it, I didn’t say it — ‘There is a place in hell reserved for women who don’t support other women.’ OK now, thank you so much for receiving that well, I didn’t know how that was gonna go over. And now California, let’s see what a comment like I just made, let’s see what it will be turned into . . . newspaper.”
Madeleine Albright wasn’t amused. She wants Palin to know just how wrong she got it:
“Though I am flattered that Governor Palin has chosen to cite me as a source of wisdom, what I said had nothing to do with politics. This is yet another example of McCain and Palin distorting the truth, and all the more reason to remember that this campaign is not about gender, it is about which candidate has an agenda that will improve the lives of all Americans, including women. The truth is, if you care about the status of women in our society and in our troubled economy, the best choice by far is Obama-Biden.”
Anyway, Palin got the quote slightly wrong. Albright actually said, “There is a place in hell reserved for women who don’t help other women.”

I was certainly not amused either instead I was deeply offended by the quote that Palin used in hear speech - If that doesn’t make women take a second look and change their mind nothing will. How dare Palin degrade women’s vote and idea’s that way. If that is her Christian view of women in the United States- I don’t think she will be getting the vote’s from very many women and certainly not from me. She need to make a Public apology for this offensive statement-
It is a outrage!
