Keep drilling

for all the supposed half-assed tabloid dirt you can make up about Palin. Maybe you can drill for some oil and make yourselves useful while you're up there.

Bands of superstitious "witch doctors" are a reality in Kenya that terrorize and kill people, and so this missionary makes mention of it while praying. You know damn well, this says nothing about Sarah Palin.

But 20 years of Obama listening to Black Liberation Theology, you ignore. Wright says "God damn America," and no one has a problem. All the research done (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122212856075765367.html) about Obama's work with Ayers on the CAC, his only stint of executive experience that was a total failure, not to mention the character and judgement implications, you ignore. The fact that Obama has forcibly been covering this up, you ignore. The fact that he flat out lied, saying Ayers was just some guy in the neighborhood that he knew, you ignore.

You have a war hero vs. a man who a domestic terrorist saw enough of a kindred in to trust, and all you want to do is scrape the bottom of the barrel about Sarah Palin's church. Do you talk about how Dhorn laughed about the Manson murders? No, you talk about a missionary helping a third-world, poor superstitious population. It is sad if this is all you are capable of, even here at Salon.
