I think it is important to see the entire pattern here.

"At the heart of the continuing "Troopergate" flap is evidence that despite Judge Suddock's warnings back in 2005 and 2006, Palin and her husband continued to make disparaging allegations against Wooten, even after she went to the statehouse."

"So Sarah Palin lied. So what? — everyone in politics lies."

"So George Bush lied. So what? — everyone in politics lies."

"So Dick Cheney lied. So what? — everyone in politics lies."

"So Bill Clinton lied. So what? — everyone ... Oh, wait, ... that isn't what shooter said. What shooter said then was "it isn't the sex, it's the lying. No politician who lies to the public should be allowed to remain in office and should be forced to resign." And then shooter has the chutzpah to call anyone else a hypocrite. Lying about sex? — a firing offence; lying about abuse of power? — business as usual. Lying about sex is a much worse offense because we all know that everyone always tells the truth about his or her sex life.

Well that would make some vandal pretty happy. That said, I'm concerned about the trespass, but not so much about the sign burning. It's perfectly legal to burn American flags, so I'm sure the same goes for campaign signs.

I take it that in the above statement you are doing one of the two things that you do when expressing your opinions. 1)Stupidity. 2)Faux failure to understand -- in this case -- the symbolism.

It wasn't the vandals sign to burn. So that makes it not okay by any standard. But much more importantly: it's not likely that the perpetrator(s) just touched a match to the bottom of the wooden sign. It is much more likely that they doused it with kerosene or something so that it would burn like a KKK lawn cross. You're cool with that? That's what you said so I can only conclude that you are.

You can't have it both ways, bubba. (Oh, it is so nice to be back below the Mason-Dixon line.)

Where the racist, semi-homicidal hypocrite can still breathe free, while sinking back into the swamp of deliberate and fact-averse ignorance.

It must really feel like coming home again for lil scoot. And they said you couldn't do that!

Troopergate and Palin's parsing. And the parse`sins.

Palin's words are blunt STUPID, and obtuse. confuses.

Annoying. NO sharp point. Deliberately obtuse, IMHO.

I'm no theologian, but Theocracy comes to my mind.

That's government is doing the ruling. Poor Wooten? Judge Suddock? If either, Paul, or old Moses thought in ref: O St. Peter at ` Troopergate, the guardian at the gate on earth may Say: The People are getting lied to, mugged in broad Palin's daylight. Pan. O panic, and the commonwealth was/is being pilfered again. The corporate oil-rig's crank motors and soon may role into Alaska, and off-shore America's coastlines. It's theft. Theo-`Kratic. Well, it's sure a Theo-crazy logic. False. Obvious.

Theo- god, and 'kratic' means crazy! Yep.

~

Theo-machy- a war struggle against a notion of a immaterial force, typically called God.

Theological- a virtues that were considered cardinal: Faith, Hope, and Charity. Palin's vice makes me feel a sense of thee-Crazy. Kratic- is crazy. The UT blog is sure a classroom.

I'm just thinking, Alaska's Palin` is parsing. It's is plain ill. A theologizes a bull moose moo, IMHO. I'm speculating.

False gibber tongue speak... It's Greek to me... It's Not to Reason. O Theodicy- a form of clear and plain Palin's idiocy. Idiocy.

Poor Todd. Theo-idiocy is to speculate the view that a evil exist. The obvious vindictive nature in Palin is the old fashion obvious seeing with 'our' own eyes wide-open. A belief in the existence of evil. Yes. Troopergate guardians: '?' , O Be it a Moses, Paul, or a Peter, a public speculation is wise and prudent.

The French nature guy, Leibniz, wrote a lot. Leibniz said:` of dike 'justice' can be ground for a God's just vindication. A unleasing of a wrath from a angry goddess `out there unnamed. ` Thor, a god-force somewhere, and eventually pays a visit to earthen stooges. A vindictive wrath is bestowed upon those who tell a deliberate Falsehood. The big intentional lie muddies the water, air, and can suffocate more respectable folk gasping for clear insights... fresh air, so-to-speak. To espouse a intentional lie brings Nature's Just Manifestation of a Visible Fury! To deliberately lie, WOE POW! Right in a moose's kisser? huh. silly. To fake it in life, is to rile a 'deity' who denounces the LIE. These GOP's are not honorable, and so Defiled.

Again,I'm no theologian. ~ deliberatus, 'consider carefully'- de- 'down' + librare 'weight' of Nature's Libra-Scales. Balanced. Justice. This is the month of October. Libra. The symbols of Scales and Justice.

Take that, George Bush and Henry Paulson

The thing that struck me about the report was how Monegan repeatedly tried to warn the Palins and their surrogates off of extracting their pound of flesh.

It's perfectly legal to burn American flags, so I'm sure the same goes for campaign signs.

It's not perfectly legal for some yahoo to burn my American flag or to burn my campaign sign. If you think it's all right, then come on over and try it. Conservatives have successfully defended my right to protect my property with lethal force.

What makes progressive institutions in to a movement isn't money; It's self-perception. Many Americans with more or less liberal beliefs now consider themselves members of a common movement, with the shared goals of limiting inequality and defending democratic principles. The movement reserves it's greatest scorn for Democrats who won't make a stand against the right, who give in on Social Security privatization or escalation in Iraq.--Paul Krugman

That is what Strangebedfellows is basically about. And in spite of how Shooter always tries to pretend that we are being biased when we disagree with a liar like Palin, we aren't, because we also vehemently disagree with Democrats when they don't do their f'ing jobs. That fact has been expressed repeatedly in Glenn's posts and on the comments board since the beginning of Unclaimed Territory.
