kind of crazy that so many people are out of touch with what America is all about and what we are actually fighting for - BishkekBuddy, on 09/21/2008, -0/+22FTA:
"But it was in that much-heralded speech at the Republican convention that Palin tossed off a line I found more disturbing than anything unearthed about her since. It got a predictably enthusiastic response from the keyed-up partisan crowd.
"Al-Qaeda terrorists still plot to inflict catastrophic harm on America," said Palin, and then, referring to Barack Obama, quipped: "He's worried that someone won't read them their rights."
Quite apart from the cheap distortion of Obama's position, typical of most campaign rhetoric, this is a classic lynch-mob line. It is the taunt of the drunken lout in the cowboy movie who confronts a sheriff barring the prison door - He wants to give 'im a trial? It is the precise sentiment that Atticus Finch so memorably sets himself against in Harper Lee's masterpiece To Kill a Mockingbird, when he agrees to defend a supposedly indefensible black man charged with rape (falsely, as it turns out).
I wonder if Palin really believes her own position on this. I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt. Maybe it was just a speechwriter's idea of a great applause line, perhaps she hasn't fully thought it through. The sentiment is on the wrong side of a deep principle, one that we have long honored in this country, that has to do with basic fairness, the rule of law, and ultimately with standing up intelligently to terrorism."- kismetropolis, on 09/21/2008, -0/+2"Maybe it was just a speechwriter's idea of a great applause line, perhaps she hasn't fully thought it through."
--that's bad, too. If she's not reading her speeches, or just taking what's written in them at face value without thinking through what she's saying, the meaning of those words? That she'd joke about it being just a bothersome formality to read someone their rights -- someone who might or might not be guilty? Frightening. Terrifying.

- brightlight4, on 09/21/2008, -0/+7Is this the next catastrophic attack that is supposed to happen before the NWO? She would be well informed about that of course!!!
- MoneyTutor, on 09/21/2008, -0/+6I disagree with the articles conclusion that "but none of the above has done much to alter her image as a refreshingly independent, aggressive, smart, down-to-earth, and surprisingly effective public official." I think her image has been altered and we as Americans don't see her as smart or effective. We've learned that she abuses her power and has made gross errors in her decisions. Troopergate is a slap on the hand compared to 1) making budget cuts with your husband's consent (who by they way holds no office), 2) religious views, and 3) not going to work over 300 days but claiming per diem and claim to be working at home.
- kwazyhulk, on 09/21/2008, -0/+7Not surprisingly, Palin doesn't know the difference between Miranda and Boumediene. But then again she's probably just regurgitating lines that were fed to her the night before by her keepers.
- pennyroyal, on 09/21/2008, -0/+6I'm going to toss this in here on the chance that some of McCain's bury brigade might read this -- news flash, you aren't fooling anyone by marking anything that casts a light on the McCain campaign as "Inaccurate"; in fact, you're completely blurring the line between fact and fiction, making it so much easier for people who were once on the fencepost -- as I was -- to assume that ALL of it is true, causing us (me, at least) to err on the side of caution. If you were to pick and choose and do some research, you'd probably manage to at least justify McCain's mistakes/flaws, and then debunk anything misconstrued, distorted or outright fabricated, but as it stands, you're only elevating the gross exaggerations (what ones there are) to the same level as the actual, factual shortcomings.
Now, I don't base the majority of my political standings off of anything on Digg, but I do base quite a bit of it off of the way those who support a man behave, and you're all making a mockery of yourselves. - ScienceDoc, on 09/21/2008, -1/+4She is a religious, fascist, lunatic.
- tufftugg, on 09/21/2008, -0/+1"He's worried that someone won't read them their rights." Palin
Sorry American's, this boat has already sailed. - algaeturd, on 09/22/2008, -1/+1This woman is a fascist hack. No expertise, no experience, no judgement, no anything positive to speak of other than the fact that...well, *****. I can't think of anything positive to say about her.
- Shiloah, on 09/22/2008, -1/+1She's so ignorant she still spells KUNTRY with a K.
- dukeeeey, on 09/22/2008, -0/+1lol
America is doing quite well destroying itself, it doesn't need any help from imaginary terrorists. The banks are literally raping the country for all it's worth, the general public are clueless and drooling, the tv goes on about palins glasses and the womens vote, and the lipstick on a pig. Meanwhile Iraq burns and and burns ... the balance of trade deficit spirals out of control. Some black dude thinks that voting for FISA is change. McCain stands up and sings about bombing Iran, Biden openly calls for a new world order and putting the UN in control of the world. Palin might as well be Miss South Carolina.

Roll on another 4 years of getting raped in the ass. The only solution to fixing the problem is to take back the control of the money supply from the federal reserve (which is a private bank). Ron Paul has been warning the American people for years .. but alas, you haven't listened. - avataros, on 09/22/2008, -0/+0When that unstable/vindictive/narcissistic/shallow/delusional/uninformed/uncurious person decides to label any person or groups of persons as "enemies," then we should worry about rights? No thanks.
- kalv, on 09/22/2008, -0/+2What a bitch.
- askcherlock, on 09/24/2008, -0/+0She is a bobble-head doll whom they can't program fast enough. Has anyone noticed that when she and McCain appear together she does all the talking? She has found his voice. Or maybe there's a string in the back of her head.
