- inactive, on 10/06/2008, -7/+306Yeah, um... Palin, you're the last person who should be bringing up the issue of wacky church ties.
- Ummagumma, on 10/06/2008, -7/+200If Gov. Palin would like to discuss personal religious affiliation, perhaps Obama should take America on a tour through her own Church, Wasilla Assemblies of God, which is a pentecostal "Third Wave" church who's tenents were deemed heretical by the original AoG movement back in the 30's.
Perhaps he could congratulate the governor on her protection from witches blessed upon her a few years ago at the chuch by a Kenyan witch hunter. - inactive, on 10/06/2008, -1/+187I smell a month straight of this:
Muslim

Terrorist

What we won't hear? Any actual plans for improving America. - inactive, on 10/06/2008, -8/+187We need a cup that says "Go back to the Arctic you ***** dumbass"
- CouchTomato, on 10/06/2008, -5/+137Someone please give her a coffee cup with this quote printed on it:
“Engagement does not mean endorsement.” -- Madeleine Albright - nickels, on 10/06/2008, -4/+135Aw shucks, Obama is a terrorist. Well, Joe Sixpack here isn't gonna stand for that, no sir-ee-bob. Do I want answers from Obama? You betcha! *wink*
Palin is grasping at straws. Didn't we already go over this garbage like a million times already? - Haecceity, on 10/06/2008, -3/+122And from the Rolling Stone: "Palin belongs to a church whose pastor, Ed Kalnins, believes that all criticisms of George Bush "come from hell," and wondered aloud if people who voted for John Kerry could be saved. Kalnins, looming as the answer to Obama's Jeremiah Wright, claims that Alaska is going to be a "refuge state" for Christians in the last days, last days which he sometimes speaks of in the present tense." Maybe you shouldn't go there, Sarah. Know what I mean?
- Wisewood, on 10/06/2008, -3/+103So she said;
"I don't know why that association isn't discussed more, because those were appalling things that that pastor had said about our great country,"
Uh, Mrs. Palin, wasn't your husband a member in good standing of an Alaska secessionist group until only a few years ago? - diggeradoo, on 10/06/2008, -1/+86April TV spot links Obama and former pastor Wright. How did McCain respond? - "I'm making it very clear, as I have a couple of times in the past, that there's no place for that kind of campaigning, and the American people don't want it", "we need not engage in political tactics that only seek to divide the American people."
- rhabd0mancer, on 10/06/2008, -3/+84Keep it up, Sarah, every time you open your garbage mouth, Obama increases his lead.
Currently Obama leads 340-198.
http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/ - inactive, on 10/06/2008, -3/+55Goes against his wishes?
*****.
They need to keep pushing the crap in order to avoid the real issues.
She's probably getting a bonus for pushing more GOP hypocrisy.
"If the Dems associate with loud people, it's bad, but if the GOP does it it's not worth talking about". - algaeturd, on 10/06/2008, -3/+54Let's bring up Palin's witchdoctor pastor! Stay away witchcraft!!!
- RoroCo, on 10/06/2008, -1/+47Palin is just now catching up... "I have been at this for only 5 weeks now" ugh.....
- redcolumbine, on 10/06/2008, -3/+47She'd probably think it means "a ring doesn't necessarily mean she's pregnant."
- dalittle, on 10/06/2008, -3/+40Wow, you can smell the desperation.
- Pinkertinkle, on 10/06/2008, -1/+38Hillary already tried that, we all saw how well that worked out for her.
- flipmoe, on 10/06/2008, -3/+39I'm sorry, who's running for president here? I thought that it was John McCain, but lately I've seen nothing but Palin headlines.
Does the Ol' Maveric think this is a good thing? - inactive, on 10/06/2008, -4/+36I know I feel better when leadership takes their ideals from coffee cups and fortune cookies.
- treehugger87, on 10/06/2008, -1/+33Yeah, but if she says it it makes it more "mavericky"
- cate508, on 10/06/2008, -2/+33I'm tellin' ya, I've said from the beginning McCain should watch his back. There's apparently a barracuda on the loose and I have a feeling it's not afraid to bite the hand that feeds her.
- Beatmiser, on 10/06/2008, -0/+30I once went to an Assembly of God service in New Mexico at the behest of a friend (I am not religious myself, but I went out of respect to said friend), and they went on and on about the evil ACLU and may the lord protect John Ashcroft and Donald Rumsfeld.
It was more of a political rally with Jesus.
If these religious institutions intend to push political agenda they need to lose their tax-exemption. Period.
...don'tcha know? - inactive, on 10/06/2008, -1/+30Mavrick...
Pew Pew Pew! - ironhide, on 10/06/2008, -3/+30Hm, unaffiliated news blog vs VP candidate.
- inactive, on 10/06/2008, -0/+27Neither does Obama. What's your point?
- amoirae, on 10/06/2008, -0/+27Palin gets prayed over by a wackjob who's claim to fame is repelling witches and she gets to criticize Obama?
This crazy bitch is grasping at straws and just hoping that some of her slanders stick. - enantiodromia, on 10/06/2008, -0/+26if that's all you got, you're doomed
- AndrewDB, on 10/06/2008, -2/+28The GOP is destroying itself from within.
Someone pass the popcorn, this should be a fun show! - JuanBSU, on 10/06/2008, -1/+26We've had Bush for 8 years. In the southern states (as well as Alaska), your IQ doesn't need to be too high to get elected.
- Mjeacoma, on 10/06/2008, -0/+23Proof
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26524024/ - RoloTomasie, on 10/06/2008, -1/+24I miss McCain speaking so fairly.
- Langford, on 10/06/2008, -2/+23It should be pretty obvious that making these kinds of statements has become Palin's primary function for McCain. Sad thing for her, after this campaign, Palin's short career is over no matter who wins or loses, McCain is just using her to spit venom for him. When Palin says something, it's only because McCain doesn't want to take the blame for having said it. It's not a matter of McCain believing that Palin can get away with Palin's behavior, it's a matter of McCain believing that McCain can get away with Palin's behavior.
- busterpratt, on 10/06/2008, -0/+21This is good news, now they can go after her and her witch doctor. Also they can go after her husband and his ant-American affiliations.
- roofview, on 10/06/2008, -2/+23She would be one big pain in the ass as VP . Attacking Obama over religion shows just how dumb Palin is . People who live in glass houses should not throw rocks. McCain better be careful she will roll over him in a heart beat. Poor John is going to get bit by a pitbull.
- AndrewMoyer, on 10/06/2008, -2/+23But if she's pregnant, it means she gets a ring!
http://www.instantrimshot.com/ - AndrewMoyer, on 10/06/2008, -3/+23She would respond in tongues while her head does a 360, shooting projectile vomit!
I'm scared to see where this goes... - TexasShiv, on 10/06/2008, -1/+21It was a political move that backfired.. that's all you have to know. He wanted to sway Hillary voters.
- richirwin, on 10/06/2008, -0/+19Bull. *****.
Palin did NOT go against McCain's wishes.
McCain has ONE wish - to be President of the United States. At ANY cost.
But he would like to stay out of the dirt if he can. That's why he is having Palin do the attacking on "issues" like Ayers and Wright.
This is EXACTLY what McCain wants. But he's too big of a pussy to do it himself.
He has to get real pussy to do it for him.
John McCain - Not an OUNCE of leadership. - tuseau, on 10/06/2008, -2/+21Holy crap. Every day McPalin gets lower, more desperate, more repetitive, and more irrelevant.
- Dreamzville, on 10/06/2008, -1/+19"Didn't we already go over this garbage like a million times already?"
Can't you see? Palin excels at two things...lying and dumpster diving! - StarlessKnight, on 10/06/2008, -3/+20I think McCain needs a cup of coffee with this quote printed on it: "Whose campaign is this anyway?" Because I'm hearing a whole lot from Palin that isn't on the ball with McCain and not so much from the actual Presidential Candidate as of late (not that he was saying much in the first place, but come on).
- Albumen, on 10/06/2008, -0/+17Well that was then. Now, with that big load in his Depends from the recent polls, times are a-changing.
- Adamande, on 10/06/2008, -1/+18That's not the only thing wrong with this. I live in Europe (Norway) and Palin playing the "guilt by association" game suddenly got every media outlet here to dig into the Keating Five-scandal where John McCain pretty much did exactly what he blames Obama for doing, sitting still and not saying anything when he could have gotten up and left.
Difference is, Obama wasn't listening to one of the biggest financial criminals in the US trying to get five senators to grant him immunity for his crimes. Palin is destroying McCain with her complete inability to lay down a smart political strategy. I'm pretty sure McCain regrets ever having met this woman. - madfrogurt, on 10/06/2008, -2/+19Palin isn't doing a single thing that the campaign leadership isn't heavily scripting her to do. She doesn't do well coming up with arguments on the fly, so why would she start now? No, this is the McCain campaign trying to unleash an attack campaign while trying to keep McCain himself slightly above the fray.
- inactive, on 10/06/2008, -1/+18And, of course... Obama's ties to the Weather Underground
http://www.wunderground.com/
Obama has been seeking guidance from this web site for MANY YEARS. - SpeedSteamBoat, on 10/06/2008, -1/+17No, he really shouldn't. The McCain camp made their bed and now they get to sleep in it. The best thing Obama can do for himself right now is keep reminding everyone he's about the issues and let his opponents implode.
The Wright "controversy" was a non-issue months ago and continues to be a non-issue. If Palin wants to look like an idiot (more) then she is welcome to it. I don't think it warrants a response. - tizle, on 10/06/2008, -2/+18The independent voters haven't picked sides because they are tired of exactly this kind of nonsense. By doing this, Palin is just helping Obama win more independents.
America wants someone who can tackle it's problems, not point fingers at other people and drag their name to the dirt. - AndrewMoyer, on 10/06/2008, -5/+20Palin is promising a "sand tax credit" to all Republicans so they can write off the stuff they've been burying their heads in for years.
- Gerz1219, on 10/06/2008, -0/+15What's disappointing is that up until about May or June of last year, McCain really did speak with fairness and decency. He just endorsed policies that have failed.
Once Obama clinched the nomination and built a healthy lead in the polls, McCain's handlers began to panic. And at some point in the summer, they sat McCain down in a room and calmly explained to him that the only way to win the election was to soak his campaign in dishonor, lies, smears and distortions. He could have chosen to lose the election with some dignity, leaving his legacy untarnished. But it appears he's too proud to accept that he's running against history, and he takes the fact that he was never meant to be president personally. - ashwinmudigonda, on 10/06/2008, -1/+15Oh Palin, Obama might have sat in the pew and listened to Rev. Wright's bullcrap, but you were banging and blowing a ***** who was interested in seceding from "our great country". Put your lips where your other lips are and STFU.
