GOP Terrorism

is the biggest threat. The past eight years has seen us more divided, with more threats to our Constitution and the separation of powers than ever before. Oh, and let's not forget the Unecessary War we're fighting in Iraq (thank you Dick Cheney).

Terrorism? It's here folks and John and Sarah are a part of it.

@RIChris

Folowing your line of reasoning, I cannot name one person that you know that is not a terrorist.

Moosellini Go Home

Sorry, Sarah. This crap is all so six years ago.

BTW, the Troopergate report comes out October 10. So time to grab your six pack and mush on outta here, doggonit. Oh and while we're at it, Queen of the Secessionistas, have you found your new "son's" birth certificate yet? Don't bother getting back to us.

@ PreviouslyCRL

You can't call a woman an asshole. The connotation is not quite right.

Even as terms like bitch and cunt are gender specific, terms such as asshole and dickhead are as well, just gender specific towards men. Yet nobody's called sexist for calling Bush an asshole.

I already have worked cocksucker out of my foul mouthed repetoire, because as much as I liked the term, and thought it applied really well to some people, I had to accept that its connotation is pretty much homophobic.

Look, my view is that many things in life are in fact gender specific, and adhering to this is not necessarily sexist. Its not sexist using proper pronouns, for example. And there has to be some levels between proper use of he/she and saying all women should be barefoot and pregnant.

@Trainman

Something is amiss, I think RIChris is a terrorist.

6 WEEKS AGO PALIN DIDN'T KNOW THESE GUYS' NAMES

6 WEEKS AGO PALIN DIDN'T KNOW WHO THESE 2 GUYS WERE, AND SHE STILL DOESN'T. IF ONE WERE TO FOLLOW PALIN'S LINE OF THOUGHT, THEN JOHN MCCAIN IS A COMMUNIST BECAUSE HE LIVED AND DINED WITH COMMUNISTS FOR 5 YEARS.

AND ANOTHER THING, IF PALIN WILL NOT ALLOW THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA TO ASK HER QUESTIONS, THEN THE MEDIA SHOULD NOT BE GIVING HER MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF FREE ADVERTISING. IT IS HARD TO IMAGINE, BUT JOHN MCCAIN HAS SUNK TO A NEW, SLEAZY LOW.

Yep -- I said it

I look forward to watching this whole thing blow up in the lipstick wearing dog's face and witnessing the desperate old codger apologize on behalf of the republican party for the length of the leash he walked his b|itch around in.

Come Nov. 5, I look forward to forgeting all about McCain and the b|tch he brought to town. Sexist? She earned it -- you betcha!

Quote of the day: Palin on Obama

At what point is this recognized as a defamation of character? This is going beyond the acceptable boundaries of Free Speech and going straight for destroying a public person's reputation on a personal level, with no factual basis. Its too bad it can't be called what it really is and its too bad Mr. Obama does not throw back at them all the unsavory characters these two have associated themselves with over the years. Its shameful and democrats should start fighting back in support of Mr. obama.

Proximity

If she's an expert on foreign policy because she lives near Russia, it makes sense for her to think he's friends with a terrorist because he lives in the same neighborhood as Bill Ayers.

Saturday, October 4, 2008 05:06 PM

I DO like to hear what Obama is going to say about it

We must be fair or we are no different from Republicans.

People can't be held account for what his friends do. I like to know what Obama says about firsthand....

1. What was his relationship with this guy?

2. Did he know about his friend's agenda?

3. What is their relationship now?

Holding Obama accountable for Rev. Wright's talk is ridiculous. We all have good friends and relatives whose thoughts we don't agree with, but we still love them. If he can publicly denounce this guy's agenda, I don't mind their past relationship.

DisHonor/Pathetic '08

Remember shunning?

Anyone American that doesn't immediately call Sarah Palin out on her pathetic defamatory comments should be shunned…then spit on.

What a sick twist Sarah Palin is!

@ Number Six

Asshole is not gender specific, because everybody has one and anybody can be one.

Saturday, October 4, 2008 05:26 PM

Here's a new idea for a maverick campaign slogan

How about this:

"If it's optic white, it's the right white!"

It's ok, they can have that one. I can almost imagine the billboards. . .

Saturday, October 4, 2008 05:29 PM

By this logic, anybody that went to Univerisity of Chicago

or ever donated to a charity that Ayers believed in, associated with a terrorist.

By similar logic, if anyone went to UC Santa Cruz they did, too. She sometimes donates to Goodwill, can I still do that, too?

Oh my God, I bought "We are the world" years ago, it must mean I supported Michael Jackson's inappropriate behavoir...

Distract, distract, distract, that's all they have. Hey Sarah, explain McCain's cost neutral tax break for health insurance for me, will ya?

Saturday, October 4, 2008 05:30 PM

Angela Davis

was the "she" I was refering to at UC Santa Cruz.

How is "asshole" gender specific to men?

??? ???? ???? I don't get it. I'm more than happy to have a moratorium on the word "bitch" for about a decade, where the term of choice is "bastard" applied equally to everyone who behaves in such manner...but I don't see how asshole is gender specific to men.

Saturday, October 4, 2008 05:39 PM

hooray!

now we get to talk about how the 'first dude' was a member of an america-hating, racist, secessionist group. & about how Palin attended a radical church who welcomed anti-semitic speakers. & about how Mrs. McCain stole money from her own charity to support a drug habit. & about how mr. country first himself helped a bunch of wall street fat cats swindle thousands of working people out of their life savings.

Saturday, October 4, 2008 05:39 PM

Yes she is a bitch

I just changed the words in this song. I use Sarah Palin instead of Kyle's Mom.

Fargo Sarah

obviously didn't pal around with any teachers, since she can't construct a coherent sentence, or even put together two words that are related to one another. Five Alaska community colleges in 6 years to get a journalism degree nobody can verify she actually ever received. Caribou steaks must be really bad for your brain.

Bat in Her Beehive

How can I describe my contempt for Sarah Palin?? You can only imagine - what a royal bitch!
