The Sarah Palin Show

This is going to be-- How you say, Tex?-- delicious.

First up, we have conservative columnist Kathleen Parker:

Sarah Palin Must Go

Now, Fareed Zakaria reaches the same conclusion:

Palin is Ready? Please.

And expounds on that conclusion:

McCain's VP Decision is "Fundamentally Irresponsible"

Of course, the McCain campaign can try to continue to shield her from questions for the next 35 days...

I'm assuming from this and other comments, that even by the low standards of merkin politicians, she's not the sharpest knife in the drawer?

It can't juse be cos she's another neo-nazi godtard surely.....wouldn't republican voters leap with joy at that?

EDIT, actually, since she conducts all her official governor's state business through a Yahoo webmail account (that I wouldn't use to sign up to a porn site), she'd probably be better to compare herself against the spoons in the sharpness stakes.

Well the consensus is that she is being overtly coached in her answers and it has stiffled her dramitically. If this is indeed the case, I hope the staff get off of her immediately and let her be herself... as many News corespondents claim she really is good at interviews if she is herself...

...not sure why everyone keeps claiming she's an uber-religious fanatic... not the internet rumours that were debunked weeks ago surely?

Regardless, I think the VP debate this week will be worth the watch (one I would normally skip). Both VP candidates could self-desctruct or completely surprise people (good or bad)... hope the bugs in Palin's interview technique is fixed by then

The "bugs" in her interview technique are her complete lack of knowledge about the issues she's discussing...which is why her handlers are (for the most part) preventing her from answering reporters' questions.

Cluefulness != using webmail. And her would-be boss can't even use a PC. What a fabulous pair to be running the most technically advanced nation on Earth (they'll ruin THAT too by slinging out all the foreigners).

She does strike me as knowing more about the fucking damn bible than foreign policy, more psalms than physics. I despair at the human race (and the yanks) that they hand power to these imbeciles.

She didn't support creationism, her statement that has been misrepresented the AP has a nice article on it:

http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5gV5jvU52RD3WBflzbmSu5l6zwOqAD92V3VQG0

the funny thing was that AC360 had a part on the show that interviewed the Blogger that put up the numerous misrepresentations. He stated it was a joke he thought a few friends would see, but somehow the whole internet ate it all up...

...funny how the same ones that cried when Obama got it, are now eating it all up now that the tables have turned...

In alaska, she supports the victims paying for the rape kits. One of her glorious budget cuts.

Well her hacked email seems full of references to the sky fairy and asking it for help.

THAT scares the piss out of me, knowing that in times of trouble she'll act based on fairy delusions.

the comment about the US being close to russia, making her a foreign policy whiz, either makes me laugh or cry. i don't know which.

Taking a sound bite and reporting on it kinda changes what she was saying... hear the WHOLE thing. She stating that the crowd should pray for our soldiers and to pray that they are doing God's plan. She did NOT state that Iraq IS God's plan....

Have to agree Woodsie. For some reason when she was answering it sounded rehearsed and a forced thought on her... it didn't sound like her personal feelings on the matter. I hope in this upcoming debate McCain's admin let her be herself...

Hate to tell you there, but God doesnt exist.

Of course, if people think he doe exist, i'd LOVE to know what his plan is. And also, for someone to present the actual evidence for that plan. As well as a method of implementation.

he emailed to palin

That youtube clip posted above looks like the one I saw in which she was introduced by some guy going on about Alaska being a 'refuge state' for the rest of the US, presumably for when the 'end times' arrive. Cant' face watching it again, but it looks like part of the same event.

Does she believe in that stuff? She didn't say it herself but she didn't disown it either. I suppose many Americans don't mind that sort of thing but I find it alienating to put it mildly. To put it less mildly I find the idea that someone who might believe in that stuff could be in a position of real power to be scary. If you think Armageddon is part of God's plan won't that have an influence on you if you ever have to decide whether to 'push the button'?

If Obama had to disown Jerimiah's comments (some of which seemed perfectly reasonable to me, e.g. that the government lied about Gulf of Tonkin and WMDs, some not reasonable, i.e. that AIDS was invented by the government) surely Palin should be disowning stuff like that also?

i quite agree, but i do hope you don't intend to be quite so dogmatic in the classroom...

Taking a sound bite and reporting on it kinda changes what she was saying... hear the WHOLE thing. She stating that the crowd should pray for our soldiers and to pray that they are doing God's plan. She did NOT state that Iraq IS God's plan..

She SAYS it right there, its a task from God. How can this be a misquote? When it is bluntly stated by the pitbull? STOP making excuses for her.

Sometimes she can really make me cringe... sometimes I watch interviews and silently beg "don't open yer mouth"... last night was one of those moments... Katie Couric asked her what newspapers and magazines she read that influences her on policies,etc...... she answered "all of them". I slapped my forehead

Context... its called context... and if you notice the post before this doesn't defend her....

I'm sick of hearing people say "she's being coached too much just let Sarah Palin be Sarah Palin"......Sarah Palin was Sarah Palin when she was ordering a cheesesteak and a voter asked her what the US was going to do about Pakistan, and she responded by saying "we're going to attack them!"....When Katie Couric asked her to name one supreme court decision other than Roe v Wade, she couldn't.....That's the real Sarah Palin. While she may be coached to a degree on how to respond to questions, she has shown that she puts her foot in her mouth, spews the same talking points over and over even when they don't make any sense, and is maybe the dumbest politician to ever be a vp nominee. Not being able to name one supreme court decision????? MSNBC was talking last night about how comparing her to Dan Quayle was an insult to Dan Quayle! You give her too much credit by saying that she just needs to be Sarah Palin......she's really just an airhead.

the important portion that is being deleted is "...we must pray that it is..." she is not stating that it actually is

At the risk of defending somebody who is both supremely unqualified for the office she seeks, and deeply alluring to the anti-intellectual elements of American society, she didn't actually say that we are doing God's will (or God's plan, or a task from God, or however it is she phrased it). What she said is that we must pray that what we are doing is God's will.

still don't buy it.. Unless i don't hear it correctly ..the sound quality is shite.

Prove it.

War, Famine, Pestilence, Evolution, Higgs Boson, etc etc.

Would God consider it a sin that in class today I loudly referred to Sarah Palin as a "fucking Muppet"?

I don't know if she is stupid or just stubborn minded but she has to suddenly, without prior warning, pretend to care about the United States, the United States government, other nations around the world, thinking beyond her fundamentalist church... she never gave a shit before about the world outside Alaska. Maybe it's not so much stupidity, but just arrogance because she doesn't care.

Hell, she has spent over half her term as governor with her own unplanned pregnancy and her teenage daughter's pregnancy, keeping her daughter out of school, and getting her old friends cushy jobs and trying to get other people fired. She hasn't had the time to worry about all this shit.

If Obama wins... will the right wing promote Palin to be President in 2012?

There is no excuse for her to not be able to name a single Supreme Court decision. Even if she is Alaska-centric, what she said about Russia and her detailed Pakistan plan claim to a voter shows that she has no sense of reality and doesn't know what she's talking about. She couldn't even name a single newspaper she reads! I don't buy it. She is stupid! She's a brainwashed fundamentalist christian with no grasp on how politics works. Tomorrow's debate is going to be an onslaught. I cannot wait!

She didn't name one, as it is completely OBVIOUS, that she didn't want to stir up any issues in the campaign. Saying directly that she's for or against a specific Supreme Court desicion WILL haunt her, regardless of what it is.

Its called playing it safe...

Are the only news shows you watch on MSNBC?

Yes. And before you say they are liberally biased Joe Scarborough, a republican has a show on the channel.....Also, Pat Buchanan is an MSNBC analyst and you can't get much more republican than that.

They've not found the Higgsy yet Liam. Aside from that, I'm with you.

You can NEVER prove a negative in any such question. However, if the godtards wanna place science, then fine.

Demonstrate one measurable, repeatable, correctly conducted experiment which suggests the Earth was created in 4000BC in six days by a fairy. just ONE.

Religious people should get the FUCK off the internet. It makes me sick that people who despise and fear science, who want us all to live in ignorant darkness, can dare to use the fruits of that very same science to spout their shite.

Even by their own, deeply flawed "standards" surely using the fruits of evil why decrying that same evil, would be frowned upon on the day of reckoning.

And of all the nonsense, my most hated is "evolution is only a theory, not a fact so it's wrong"......spouted via a device relying entirely on pure theory for it's function, while having his worthless inbred arse held on his chair by the totally theoretical force of gravity.

Why don't they all just hurry into the arms of Jesus by jumping off a bridge?

I believe in a God and that all religions are interpreting the one thing in their own slightly screwed up ways...

Now... The Big Bang and Evolution are entirely compatible.

The 'fairy' i.e. God, set off the Big Bang. The Six Days is purely metaphorical, i.e. it could be Six Billion years for the Earth to form and life to spring forth.

Therefore God has created everything on Earth, but not with a click of the temporal fingers, the window of time was jolly long.

This makes the two theories compatible?

Uncle Liam wrote: War, Famine, Pestilence, Evolution, Higgs Boson, etc etc.

some of these can be classed as 'the problem of evil' and may be countered by the concept of free will and the necessity of primary evils/suffering to allow for greater goods and redemption. aquinas and auqustine were big fans.

you might also want to look at the teleological argument, most famously posited by paley (an early influence on darwin) and later refuted by dawkins in 'the blind watchmmaker'.

that would be the intelligent christian way of approaching this. most of genesis is thought to be metaphorical (by anyone with any sense), is it not?

Here's the clincher.

God, as a concept or an actual individual, is a man made invention. 15000 years ago apparently. Thats the proof right there.

Real things, like gravity, do not. As I said, QED.

If someone says "may god strike me down now for X or Y", you can't say "Ha, he got you" when the guy dies in bed 25 years later. Hit by a bus the next day, I'd accept as some form of evidence worthy of further study, but some mundane death weeks or years later, that's just silly.

hang on, hang on. are you seriously telling me that your 'absolute proof' for the non-existence of god is that he just declined to smite you?!

There is precisely ZERO evidence to suggest a god exists. There is a ton of evidence to suggest that one doesnt. i.e Evolution, the secrets and history of the Universe that are gradually being unravelled, etc

Someone with faith does not doubt the existence of God.

Guilt and fear can have the same effect, if used correctly.

if you get this before I got my non american forum I will cry.

I was born jewish, but I don't practice. My beliefs tend to coincide with the agnostic/athiest stance. I've lived in Columbus Ohio and I've seen the destruction that religious fanaticism and extremism has caused, from delusional preachers yelling on campuses that you're going to hell if you don't believe in Jesus, to christian students who were convinced that Jesus is the "absolute truth" and were intolerant of any other beliefs. The more religious (just like republican) you are, more likely the less educated you are. Which is ironic, considering that poor religious people are generally republican but republicans dont give 2 shits about the poor, but poor redneck christians are too stupid to realize that and because republicans usually spew Jesus rhetoric, they support these politicians based on their faith claims.

I cannot wait to see the new Bill Mahr film "Religious".....and I also can't believe I actually agree with Uncle Liam on something.

the complexity, purpose and order evident in nature might, in fact, suggest a creator. the scientific improbability of life coming about purely by accident implies an 'anti-chance factor' - which we could choose to call god.

Pfff. You miserable old sow. If only this forum had a fraction of the wit, charisma, sneery charm and sheer hormonal vitality of your average 14-year-old boy. I certainly wish I (and you) did. These days it's dominated by monotone and endlessly polarized "discussion" of the forthcoming US election which is inexorably leading towards - and any 14-year-old adolescent could tell you this without batting an eyelid - no fucking change in anything whatsoever.

Oh, and "discussion" about the existence (or not) of God. Which would have that selfsame 14-year-old rolling his (or her) eyes in suitably lethargic contempt. Which, frankly, is exactly what it deserves.

why do you think i laughed?! if i suspected you of genuine malice i doubt i'd have been as tickled.

anyway, you have me over a barrel. i have realised too late that my 14 year old son is among the most witty and charming people i know. drat.

the same cannot be said, however, for most of the 14 year olds with whom i am trapped in a room for most of the day most of the week. if you were me i bet you'd take the opportunity for any lazy internet-based poking-of-bears-with-sticks that came your way too.
