THE GOOD NEWS! is that Palin is the new YoUnG face of the Republican party---What better gift could be given to us Liberals than that? THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING....
ROYALSAN, YOU HAVE EXPOSED YOURSELF AS A PERSON CRAMMED FULL OF HATE. "BLESS YOUR HEART" BUT THE COMPLETE ERADICATION OF YOUR ILK WHO SWALLOW AND REGURGITATE THE VITRIOLIC BILGE OF LIMBAUGH, O'REILLY AND FELLOW TRAVELERS WOULD MAKE THE WORLD A FAR FAR BETTER PLACE.
We have had someone "down there in the Washington" who is like you for 8 years. If you're happy with the results, vote for McPalin & crack open another six pack and go back to your cave.
Barack Obama apparently served on the board of a non-profit with Bill Ayers, who almost 50 years ago was a member of the Weather Underground.
Palin's important adviser whom she sleeps with and is MARRIED TO WAS A MEMEBR OF THE AIP FOR 10 YEARS. THE FOUNDER OF PALIN'S A.I.P. SAID--- "The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government. And I won't be buried under their damn flag. I'll be buried in Dawson. And when Alaska is an independent nation they can bring my bones home."
Barack Obama served on the board of a non-profit with Bill Ayers, who decades ago was a member of the Weather Underground. and is now "DISTINGUISHED PROFESSOR IN THE COLLEGE OF EDUCATION AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS"
Palin's important adviser whom she sleeps with and is MARRIED TO WAS A MEMBER OF THE AIP FOR 10 YEARS. THE FOUNDER OF PALIN'S Alaska Inependence Party SAID--- "The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government. And I won't be buried under their damn flag. I'll be buried in Dawson. And when Alaska is an independent nation they can bring my bones home."
The best thing that can happen for this Ayers "flap" is for McCain to bring it up and give Obama the chance to totally debunk it with facts from all the investigations done by the most thorough investigative reporters there are.
And perhaps Obama will have a chance to mention the bald face lie that McCain's and his running mate keep repeating: That she was cleared of all wrong-doing by the investigation into Troopergate.
I WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE to hear someone ask McCain exactly what he meant when he said he was NOT SURPRISED that General Powell endorsed Obama. Would the answer sound something this: "well, er...uhh, hahaha..ummm......well...." Of course the correct answer is "because any right thinking person wold endorse Obama" but I am afraid McCain divulged more than he would have liked about his racial bias with that innocent sounding "I'm not surprised".
Just one more thing. When Repugs outspent and outraised Dems by 3 to 1 or more the last few cycles with an average fat cat corporate donation way in excess of $87, it was just terrific! and the republican majority supreme court ruled that "money is free speech". Now McCain decries Obamas huge appeal to ordinary Joe Voter for whom $50 or $100 really means something. Let's mix metaphors. What we have here is a "grass roots tidal wave"
Surprise! Surprise! There are still "good American folks" who may in some cases not even be conscious of the fact that they have strong prejudice, even hate for other people, whose color or facial features may be different from their own. If you maintain or actually believe you are not a racist, BUT YOU CAN LAUGH OUT LOUD AT A RACIST JOKE OR SONG IN THIS CASE, CHANCES ARE YOU'RE A RACIST and you are the person Chip Saltsman and his VERY LARGE branch of the Republican Party appeal to. Read the posts on conservative and Palin blogs, read comments on sodahead! They are full of the vilest kind of hatred ranging from picaninny and raghead jokes to what they would do with their explosives and bombs and guns to any muslim, jew, black or or even someone who doesn't acknowledge right now that Jesus is God. It's also a fact that there are always comments and responses from genuine Republicans (yes there are many, just not enough) who condemn those hateful posts and wish they would stop, but they keep coming anyway and they represent a faction that should PROBABLY join up with the neo-nazis and be carefully watched by the secret service. Or you could just stay and be welcome in this strange Republican Party where there is room for your vitriol. Where you can openly let people know about your hate and "wink wink, nudge nudge" call it as joke. Call it a joke when you talk about shooting a liberal in the head; call it a joke when you talk about lynching Obama; laugh at and call it a joke when someone says the only good Muslim is a dead Muslim go to your local southern or western or northern Republican meetings where you know there are like-minded people and joke about these things while you crush another aluminum beer can in your bare fist and toss it. Chip Saltsman wants your vote.... I haven't even gotten started yet.
