as far as I know...

People like the person who wrote this article, the LaRouche people, neo nazis, and assorted half-wits and morons. The only ones that matter are the ones who write articles like Rossmeier's.

Everyone else here likes them just fine.

It's a real shame when people are brought being taught that everyone hates them when they really don't.

We don't hate black people either.

Now why do so many people hate those people in Iran?

As for her adopting the lifetime body of writing of a man who is long-dead, simply by having once quoted him, I guess Obama is in trouble for having quoted Thomas Jefferson. After all, Jefferson owned slaves.

OK, Sarah Palin quoted a generic line from a bigot. She probably didn't know the source - although McCain's speechwriters who actually penned the speech are more likely to be educated on the source material. It's a simple line that I don't find much to disagree with.

The McCain camp over-played its hand with the Lipstick on a Pig Controversy. Let's not get drawn into giving the advantage back to them with overblown outrage over a non-issue. Forget Sarah Palin. What is the McCain stand on earmarks to small towns? How is he going to restore jobs to the residents? Those are issues worth discussing.

The Eva Braun of Alaska.

Where's the outrage?

When asked for her opinion about the possible removal of the words "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance, Palin has already demonstrated breathtaking ignorance by saying:

"Not on your life. If it was good enough for the founding fathers, its good enough for me and I’ll fight in defense of our Pledge of Allegiance."

Quite obviously, she doesn't know that Francis Bellamy, a Socialist (gasp!), wrote the Pledge in 1892, or that the words "under God" were inserted by Congress in 1954 (double gasp!) in response to anti-Communist hysteria. Our Founding Fathers had zilch to do with any of this. (Triple gasp!)

No one should think she's researched the latest quote any better; no doubt she has no idea who said it, or why. It just SOUNDS good, and pleases the rabble, just like her response to the Pledge question. Sadly, though, far too many Americans are just as ignorant as Palin about most such "issues" -- even seeming to take PRIDE in their ignorance.

In order to quote some random line from this bigot dude, you would have to actually read his writings, and in order to do so without puking on them, you probably have to be at least a little sympathetic. Now, I suppose it's possible that they just lifted the line right out of Bartlett's familiar quotations, but if not, then that means one of McCain's speechwriters has got this bigot dude's complete works on his bookshelf. All of the weird pro-Sarah Palin commenters do have one thing right--this has no reflection on her at all, since she didn't write the speech, and had essentially nothing to do with its composition. The only thing her 'great speech' reflects is her ability to read some words off of a teleprompter, which I don't know about you, is the number one quality that I want in a VP who has a better chance of anyone in recent memory of succeeding to the throne.

Palin has already passed the "smell test", otherwise, do you REALLY think she would be the nominee? The woman is a hardcore evangelical, being part of the Israel-first club is part of her faith, hence the flag in her office. She just leaves out the thorny little details of the prophecy she lives by.

Palin is an antisemite in the same way that all the Rapture Ready evangelicals are antisemites. A means to an end. A giant non-believer Jew Roast in Jerusalem while the Sarah Palins, Tom Hagee's, and Tom DeLays of this world get on the fast track to hanging out with Jesus. Their love of Israel is based on their cynicism, but the Military Industrial Complex has no problem manipulating them to fill their ranks and make a buck while also helping Zionists like Hagee and Lieberman fullfil their wishes of Rapture time in Jerusalem with Israeli/US domination of the world's natural resources in the meantime, respectively.

Sarah Palin is too damned stupid to be on the faculty of Wasilla Community College, let alone the University of Chicago.

And not the ban list

Just wondering if anti-semitism might be afoot!

The Republican Party celebrates bigotry (see: southern strategy) and ridicules values such as such as tolerance and the desire to learn as 'elitist'. They praise private charity only when it is used to extort the poor to pray to their god. They encourage seditious acts and organizations (the AIP, more deeply the privatization of the military and intelligence agencies) but scream bloody commie when any democrat talks about a progressive tax code or god forbid universal healthcare. They've brainwashed us all into thinking that government is a business but government does not exist to turn a profit.

We need to get at some of these underlying assumptions. I'm not surprised in the least they would appeal to their bigoted base. I don't think it was an accident either - it is code for those in the know. That may sound paranoid but it is proven they do insert coded language for evangelicals - why should this time be any different? It is the same team, new puppet out in front, same bigoted tactics as ever to appeal to the same bigoted base.

If you are genuinely surprised by this, there is this bridge in Alaska I would like to talk to you about- great profit opportunity.
