- b2sargent, on 10/07/2008, -25/+530Really really scary what Palin is saying and doing. People at her rallies, as reported in the Washington Post, yelled at a black news man something to the effect of "Sit down, n------!". Another person yelled out, about Obama, "Kill him!"
If she can't call those people out at her own rallies and tell them "That's not America" she needs to be taken off the Republican ticket, right now.
This is sick. - egarratt, on 10/07/2008, -15/+294America at it's worst. Talk about dangerous people. Palin and McCain would rather start a Civil War and win the election based on racism and lies than talking about issues and policies. Good luck with that.
- inactive, on 10/07/2008, -12/+207She's a misinformed lying GOP mouthpiece un-American extremist
Proof Palin Lied & Was Member of Anti-American Radical AIP
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIi4rbIXbkw
This is an Alaska Independence Party meeting. Go to the 6th minute of this video. They are a radical group that wanted Alaska to secede from the USA. Very un-American, unpatriotic. Sarah & her husband were both members. She claimed she never was, but the AIP says otherwise in this video. That is not just "someone" saying it, that is the Vice Chairman of the AIP Dexter Clark speaking at their national convention. His wife Lynette Clark is the chairman (head of) the AIP). If anyone would know if Sarah Palin was a member, it would be him!
- joeygillis, on 10/07/2008, -10/+177***Worse, Palin's routine attacks on the media have begun to spill into ugliness. In Clearwater, arriving reporters were greeted with shouts and taunts by the crowd of about 3,000. Palin then went on to blame Katie Couric's questions for her "less-than-successful interview with kinda mainstream media." At that, Palin supporters turned on reporters in the press area, waving thunder sticks and shouting abuse. Others hurled obscenities at a camera crew. One Palin supporter shouted a racial epithet at an African American sound man for a network and told him, "Sit down, boy." ***
Really? Maybe they would like it if the media didn't show up at all. Then we wouldn't have to listen to their disgusting smear campaign they've started out of desperation. - temptxan, on 10/07/2008, -9/+142John McCain and Sarah Palin spreading hate and dissent in America. How very patriotic.
- lompe, on 10/07/2008, -10/+141One guy yelled out "kill him" when McCain was talking about Obama. The haters are getting desperate.
- aaronirwin31, on 10/07/2008, -9/+139This woman gives me new reasons to dislike her by the minute.
Just as troubling is her rabid fan base. Is this really what the core of the Republican Party has become? I keep picturing this Happy-Gilmore like atmosphere where Palin supporters show up lugging lawn chairs and ice chests, and wearing beer helmets and "Sarahcuda" t-shirts with the sleeves cut out of them.
Honestly, when you show up at a political rally in support of your candidate, do you really want to project to the world, in front of network camera crews, that you are a bunch of low-rent, redneck, racist morons who identify with the label "Joe six-pack"?
I mean, I'm straight out of the sticks, myself. I know what poor white trash looks like. But I don't act like it!
If you support Palin, you have to know that you are in a battle for middle-American swing votes... so you decide to show your ass and start spewing obscenities and racial epithets in front of video cameras? Brilliant. - Arilyrmersir, on 10/07/2008, -9/+138This is NOT funny or some esoteric conversation over breaktime coffee anyone should be intellectualizing - people are going to get HURT if this fear mongering continues. Look, we may have differing views we all feel strongly about - but does anyone here really want to see anyone hurt?! I don't want anyone hurt. I don't want McCain or Palin hurt, I don't want to see Obama or his family hurt and I certainly don't wish to see people who simply share one viewpoint or another gunned down by some "whipped into a frenzy by this kind of talk" radical group.
This horror needs to STOP now. Where is law enforcement?! If an activist demonstrator had even suggested such a thing he would have been arrested, tazered, pepper sprayed and promptly locked away! What is going on HERE? And why is this incident not all over the news, and why aren't the FBI, CIA and Secret Service stepping in to stop this - and why is the President and Congress not sanctioning these candidates for inciting violence? Isn't that against the Patriot ACT???!!! - jrndigg, on 10/07/2008, -8/+115Thanks to Dana Milbank for reporting this!
- inactive, on 10/07/2008, -7/+97What's more sick though?
The fact that she's an idiot or the fact these people seem to be stupid enough to think she isn't?
Watching american elections from afar, it seems that Obama could win this by shaking his keys and going pic-a-boo! at the audience. That and dressing up like Jesus.
David Blaine for VP would've been the best move.
Plan for the economy: add value to the dollar. How? Bling. - jepaco, on 10/07/2008, -10/+84Has no one told her she's running for vice president of the United States of America? She seems to think she's running for vp of some right-wing organization.
- jackieblu, on 10/07/2008, -19/+86She is a bitch !
- Rutabaga64, on 10/07/2008, -8/+75This is literally nauseating.
If this kind of tactic words, then Americans should be ashamed of themselves. - jstreveln, on 10/07/2008, -8/+70seeing that Sarah palins husband belonged to a secessionist group and Sarah palin said at one of their dinners that they were doing a fine job and too keep up the good work!and the fact that the founder of this group openly said he hated America and all its institutions and that he would be damned before he would be buried under her flag.this was 2002 not 1960 she actively supported a group of people who wanted Alaska to succeed from America you know like the south did?civil war all that?she said obama is dangerous because he doesn't see America the way she does....i am betting VERY few Americans see our country the way she does.you have to wonder when McCain/palin say country first.......... do they mean ours or hers?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIi4rbIXbkw - fishbeef33, on 10/07/2008, -6/+64Read a little closer next time. "Boy" was not the racial epithet he was talking about. He didn't quote the epithet because he didn't want to use the "n" word.
I'm sorry if the truth has a liberal bias. We'll work on that for ya. - fugularity, on 10/07/2008, -1/+58because yelling out death directives about anyone is acceptable?
- AICWebmaster, on 10/07/2008, -10/+58Sarah Palin is nothing more than a trained monkey who has yet to attain command of the English language. She is so stupid in fact, she will not be allowed to answer questions from the media or on the Sunday talk shows. But then if you look at her: religious wacko (this numskull believes in African witch doctors), cavorts with traitors (her husband is a member of an Alaska secessionist group), and has an inability to understand what is and is not ethical behavior from a politician. Even you ignorant right-wing, religious freak republicans only give her a 44% positive rating!
- relayer2112, on 10/07/2008, -9/+56Sara Palin's tiny little brain actually believes men and dinosaurs roamed together on an earth created 6,000 years ago. She actually asked how one would go about banning books. She really believes we're doing "God's will" in Iraq (who are the terrorists?). This woman is a ***** menace to all that is sane in this nation.
Sara Palin needs to *****. - nealparr, on 10/07/2008, -4/+49"This article is full of partisan attacks"
Well, durr. Palin's running around calling the guy a terrorist. The partisan attacks are from Palin. - inactive, on 10/07/2008, -3/+48I really want to be positive, but something tells me that heavy ***** will go down if something happens to Obama or if they steal this one under everyones noses
- MarciaJ720, on 10/07/2008, -12/+56She's dangerous and giving these wing-nuts even more reason to "Distrust" the so called Liberal Media even though they are all owned and operated by Republicans.
Yeah, her winks to men, well, you know what they do behind closed doors dreaming of her. Yeah, they aren't listening to her, just watching her, but yet the most horrible parts of her speeches stick.
She is such a little Christian full of hate, or of at least spreading the stuff.
Sorry to go off but I really don't like hypocrites and she's bringing them out. - WiretapStudios, on 10/07/2008, -8/+49As a person from a mostly redneck town (around the town anyhow) in a swing state (Virginia), most of the old people and rednecks I talk to think that McCain and Palin are a ***** joke.
- inajeep, on 10/07/2008, -9/+44As usual the GOP won't let the facts get in the way of a good attack campaign.
- HopeMonger, on 10/07/2008, -13/+47McCain/Palin = Lies
- aconner22, on 10/07/2008, -9/+43Wow. How's that for "Country First"? The last thing this country needs is another angry, grudge-holding, power-grabbing VP. Word up.
- crescentia, on 10/07/2008, -10/+43I can't believe that some people actually take this woman seriously.
- yadobaka, on 10/07/2008, -9/+41On the domestic terrorist:
Her accusation is frustrating, and I think Obama's interactions with
William Ayers is if anything good for the future of the country.
First off her argument is silly. Obama was a young child during the
activities of The Weather Underground and in no way has ever agreed
with the bombings of the Weathermen. In fact he condones the bombings
and all violent actions.
Obama puts it fairly well: "And the notion that somehow as a
consequence of me knowing somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40
years ago when I was 8 years old, somehow reflects on me and my
values, doesn't make much sense"
Even still, Obama did serve on a non-profit charity board with Ayers
for 9 years. Is Obama dangerous now because he spent time doing good
things with someone politically radical? Ayers also lived down the
street from Obama. Obama says they hardly talk. No one can know if
that's true. Whether or not they spent time together is a stupid
question to me. Say they spent every day together and were really good
friends. I'd say that would be perfectly fine. You don't have to agree
with someone's tactics or political viewpoints to have intelligent
conversation (that you both learn from) with someone. You know more
than many others that you can learn the most from people you disagree
with. Arguing about disagreements in politics, morality or really
anything can help you advance yourself as a person...
If Pallin is insinuating he should've quit the charity board once he
found out there was a former radical serving on the board that's a bit
crazy to me. Stop helping people because there's a chance your mind
might get infected with radical politics. You might become
brainwashed. That's scary, I don't want anything to do with anyone
that's not like me and I don't even want to hear anything he has to
say, never mind argue with him.
And even if Obama did agree with Ayers on a lot of issues... I'd say
that's probably a good thing. From everything I've read The Weather
Underground were standing up for what they believed in in ways that
forced people to listen. They successfully bombed many buildings
without injuring anyone but themselves (by an unfortunate accident),
and that in itself brought nation-wide media attention to issues and
actions which would've otherwise gone by mostly unnoticed.
To call radicals and protesters terrorists is dangerous to the
fundamental values upon which this country were formed. I think the
founding fathers were incredibly brilliant people who really
understood oppression. This nation was set up by radicals who
understood the importance of checks and balances. The Declaration of
Independence calls on the people of the United States to revolt under
oppression and to abolish/alter the Government when necessary. Not
just as something to do, but as the duty of being an American citizen.
"That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these
ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to
institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and
organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely
to effect their Safety and Happiness" Declaration of Independence
(1776)
"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably
the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute
Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such
Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security"
Declaration of Independence (1776)
Engraved on Thomas Jefferson's gravestone: "I have sworn upon the
altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the
mind of man."
Thomas Jefferson is also quoted saying: "Every generation needs a new
revolution."
As far as the methods of the Weather Underground go I would like to
discuss them with you in person. Because e-mail sucks and national
security makes it possible for all e-mails to be scanned for key words
and read without the need for any warrants. I do have thoughts on
their actions though which I'd really like to talk to you about.
Basically what I'm getting at is people standing up for what they
believe in is very good. Different people use different methods and I
don't agree with all the methods being used. In some instances I feel
as though writing a letter won't suffice. I realize the advantages of
both direct action and dialogue. My preference is direct action AND
dialogue.
I had an argument with my dad about protesting. He said he didn't
think people should be allowed to protest at the Democratic/Republican
National Conventions. I said "then how are they supposed to protest
and be heard?" He said there is a time and a place for protesting. For
me the time and place for protesting is anywhere in public and
wherever/whenever you will be heard.
All in all, I think Obama's relations with Ayers are healthy if
anything. Harsh words, but I think Pallin is a dim-witted numskull and
I can't believe the American people aren't insulted with the things
she's been saying.
Good news for Obama, though. - terrachronos, on 10/07/2008, -9/+41Kind of proves she is nothing more than a stupid power hungry bitter BITCH.
How very "christian" of her. Nice job setting the good example there, but i guess her example is why her daughter is out fscking billybob redneck and having kids out of wedlock. jesus must be SO proud of her. - LordoftheLoo, on 10/07/2008, -8/+38He had a 15 point lead in Florida. Now he has a 3 point deficit. That's pretty much a collapse
- Dipsomaniac, on 10/07/2008, -3/+32Right. Tell you what, take a day this week and call as many black men as you can 'boy', preferably while telling them to do something for you. Make sure you explain that it's not racist to do so, okay?
Have a camera rolling when you do; I'm sure that the rest of us would like to see you getting your ass handed to you for being a racist *****. - lex0nyc, on 10/07/2008, -4/+32But the real Republican message is finally being heard!
- SpinningHead, on 10/07/2008, -3/+31Read the article
One Palin supporter shouted a racial epithet at an African American sound man for a network AND told him, "Sit down, boy." - fishbeef33, on 10/07/2008, -6/+34"You have got to be kidding me! Palin's whole campaign has consisted of 'vote for me or you are a sexist.'"
Fixed it for you. - cyberprunes, on 10/07/2008, -8/+35This is such a foolish move by the McCain campaign. Maybe it's the only one they have left.
The big problem is that they do not know how to run a negative campaign. Palin's "pitbull" persona may work in Alaska but it won't work on the national stage. The frenzied hatred that she is feeding at her rallies is becoming very ugly. She is sleazy,rude, inept, ignorant, unqualified,dangerous, dishonest and power hungry. She will be a huge factor in the continued downfall of this campaign. If McCain wanted to make a bold move and give himself a fighting chance.. he would drop Palin off in Wasilla and select Romney. - Krol63, on 10/07/2008, -7/+33Now that's not very "Christian" of her. Perhaps one of those witches that she was supposed to be protected against is channeling through her.
- hasslinthehoff, on 10/07/2008, -9/+33I think Palin is mistaking whining, lying and name-calling with a cogent political attack strategy.
- magus_melchior, on 10/07/2008, -2/+25They want a cooperative media that would throw hardballs and kitchen sinks at the Obama campaign while setting up tee-balls for the McCain campaign. They want their rallies to resemble those at Nuremberg in 1938.
- AICWebmaster, on 10/07/2008, -1/+24Dude, I live in Naples Florida, home to the most millionaires per capita and a bastion of republicanism. Believe me, white trash doesn't just come from the sticks!
- EarlOfLade, on 10/07/2008, -7/+30Sarah Palin - Go back to your k-k--cave...
- Tarantulus, on 10/07/2008, -2/+24Same thing....
- ErickStevenson, on 10/07/2008, -6/+28LOL another ignorant bigot troll. He has never tried to put race as an issue and avoided making it an issue, only McCain and Palin are the ones bringing it up and their supporters.
- silentforest, on 10/07/2008, -9/+30G. Gordon Liddy
- ikari1, on 10/07/2008, -7/+28I have a feeling that if the McCain/Palin ticket fails, it could spell the end of thier political careers. its interesting that in order to kill any hope this country has, you have to inspire the age old american hatred...
- ejkeebler, on 10/07/2008, -9/+29try looking at an electoral map, you know the electoral college, the thing used to elect the president, obama sits pretty at 264 to 364 depending on which map you look at with anywhere between 15 and 100 toss up votes, nearly all of which obama is currently leading in that states polls..... this up from the 190 obama was at just weeks ago according to some maps.....it's collapsing, get your head out of the sand......
- ejkeebler, on 10/07/2008, -5/+25your description of the video is completely inaccurate.....but should I have expected anything different?
- saurabharya, on 10/07/2008, -8/+28Palin's remarks are getting more and more humiliating as the days are approaching to elections....... bad politics is in play.......
- Dipsomaniac, on 10/07/2008, -1/+21Shouted a racial epithet AND told him "Sit down, boy."
Learn to read, and if you're going to keep defending racism, go somewhere else with your stinky *****, okay? - inactive, on 10/07/2008, -3/+23Ann Coulter better watch out because Palin's gunning for her "***** insane bitch spewing radical craziness" position.
- inactive, on 10/07/2008, -0/+20It wasn't a war plane, it was Falcon passenger jet, kind of like a Learjet. Completely unarmed. The Iranians let it, and the passengers, go.
- Wryly, on 10/07/2008, -9/+28golefttv has a very scary - but true - video of her. Sarah's the last person we need in the White House.
