    No Offense

    But this all seems like a lot of rumor and inuendo with very little evidence to back it up.

    Sarah Palin may have been an angry protestor outside a doctors office, or she may have been a plum pudding.

    It's all very juicy of course, damning if any evidence ever surfaces, but much like the accusations against Mr. Obama and his wife, utterly meaningless without the existence of something other than someone's word who has an axe to grind against the candidate.

    Besides, isn't it a well established fact that John McCain is a memeber of the Church of Satan? If you rent the documentary The Occult Experience (1985)in the scene with Anton Levey in the Church's Black Mass, you can clearly see Mr. McCain is a participant. It's uncredited of course, but ask any member of the church and they will happily tell you that's him. He's right there in the left hand of the screen holding the candle. Go ahead look it up.

    Beyond that, all the accusations that fly probably have some effect on those predisposed to believe the worst about people. You can believe that Sarah Palin is any of the things laid out in this article, but given the lack of evidence, if you do believe it, you either thought it about her before you read this article or hoped it because you agree with that world view.
