Own a Piece of History: Those Famous Naughty Monkey Red Shoes

Up for bid on eBay:

The description reads:

Up for bid are thee actual Red Naughty Monkey Heels owned/worn by Sarah Palin. I got the shoes from Aunt Sarah after mentioning that I liked them. They dont fit to well, so I decided to let someone else enjoy them. These are the exact heels that made headlines. If you search "Sarah Palin's Red Shoes" on a search engine, you will find multiple blogs, articles, and stories on these shoes. You could own a piece of history!!! The shoes are NOT autographed, but the buyer has the option of having them autographed!! I included pictures of the shoes, the autographed pictures, the Sharpie pen, and me and my aunt (just taken a couple days ago).

American Women; We Shall Overcome, Someday!!!!!!!!

It is very clear that although this nation is in the throes of near delirious self-congratulatory back patting post inaugural hysteria that women have not yet arrived at the same place in society occupied by men.

We can on very rare occasions be elected to the Senate or the House and we can on very rare occasions be appointed to some post or high position.

But we cannot be POTUS.

Or even VPOTUS.

No, not yet.

And although our contributions are enormous, we cannot demand the respect a male has the day he is born. If we could, the auction for the Sarah Palin Hanging in Effigy Depiction items on eBay would have been closed down permanently by now.

I have sent the information to many people in the media. We will see who steps forward to help.

Sarah Palin "Hanging in Effigy" Auction at eBay Bids are up to $2,247.22

On Sunday, January 18th, we exposed the offensive auction on eBay of the "Sarah Palin Hanging in Effigy" items used by Chad Morrisette at his West Hollywood home in Oct. This was well publicized at the time. Now Mr. Morrisette is cashing in on that publicity. Protesters to eBay have shut this auction down three times, but he keeps re-listing. Now the auction bids are up to $2,247.22 with one day and 15 hours to go. He has made it clear in a statement to the LATimes that the noose is included.

Comments at the time of the incident:

From a feminism and gender perspective, the hanged effigy of Sarah Palin represents a troubling new road advocating violence against women. Chad Michael Morrisette, a man in West Hollywood, CA, made the extremely poor decision to voice his opposition to the Republican presidential ticket by hanging an effigy of Gov. Palin from the roof of his home.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and here we have men hanging Palin from the roof of their home. Nijma at Camel's Nose wrote, "Whatever you think of Sarah Palin’s politics, there is no excuse for the hate speech that has been unleashed against her," and reported that the last person to die in a lynching assualt in the US was a six year old girl who had been raped, then hung in her family's garage. Kim Gandy, president of the National Organization of Women, told the Los Angeles Times:

It is a shock to the senses for those of us who work to stop violence against women to see such a public depiction of violence... This has no place in a civilized dialogue. If you oppose Sarah Palin's policies, say why you oppose them.

Please go to the auction and scroll to the bottom and click on report offensive item. If enough of us do this, the auction will be shut down, hopefully permanently. This was a hate crime and selling these items is against eBay's own policies.

Thank you!!!
