BACK TO THE DARK AGES WITH SARA & JOHN
Palin has stated she plans to “take back America to it’s xtian roots as it was intended by the founders”.
Palin is so pathetically ignorant of the facts of American history, the Constitution of this country and the intentions of the Founding Fathers in the creation of the constitution and amendments it boggles the mind, and willfully ignorant at that! Most of the Founding Fathers were atheist, agnostic or deist and wanted to keep religion and government separate so no one religion would be pushed down everyone else’s throats like the fundi evangelicals want to do! . Anyone who has read their papers and letters would know that!

Palin and McCain’s Shotgun Marriage
Palin and McCain’s Shotgun Marriage
Sunday 07 September 2008
by: Frank Rich, The New York Times
Palin serves as a distraction in the campaign.
Sarah Palin makes John McCain look even older than he is. And he seemed more than willing to play that part on Thursday night. By the time he slogged through his nearly 50-minute acceptance speech – longer even than Barack Obama’s – you half-expected some brazen younger Republican (Mitt Romney, perhaps?) to dash onstage to give him a gold watch and the bum’s rush.

Sarah Palin’s TARBABY
Governor Sarah Palin’s Ethics Problem
Posted on August 25, 2008 by rogermaynard
When Governor Palin chose to unceremoniously dump Alaska Department of Public Safety Commissioner Monehan a few weeks ago, she had no idea the trouble that would follow. Apparently the basic issue was that Monehan supported the troopers, saw a department that had been cut too many times, and refused to make additional budget cuts as directed by the governor.
But then it came to light that Governor Palin, her family and staff were pressuring Monehan to fire a trooper, one that is an ex-brother in law, over a personal matter, and things became sticky real fast. Her denials and subsequent back-pedaling have only served to intensify the controversy.
By now she must know how br’er rabbit felt. It was tempting to draw blogger Andrew Halcro as br’er fox, but simple cartoons are usually better.
Read the story in the Wall Street Journal Online.

The Tattlesnake – Teach Me Tonight Edition
John McCain Instructs Sarah Palin On the Fine Points of Foreign Policy…
McCAIN: “Okay, now, let’s start with Iraq. What do you know about Iraq?”
PALIN: “Well, I’ve been to Kuwait for a short visit and that’s right next door to Iraq!”
McCAIN: “Is it? Okay, then, you’re an expert on Iraq! Let me give you one tip, though: Don’t let the reporters trip you up on that ‘Shia-Sunni’ stuff. Listen, they’re all the same over there – just a bunch of crazy ragheads peddling carpets.”
PALIN: “Uh, what about those Kurds or whatever I’ve heard about?”
McCAIN: “Ah, curds are something you get in cottage cheese. Don’t bother your pretty little head over that BS; I know I don’t.”
PALIN: “How about Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan?”
McCAIN: “Don’t worry about ‘em. More crazy ragheads and we’ll just blow ‘em off the map if they cause any trouble.”
PALIN: “Well, what else do I need to know?”
McCAIN: “Let’s see, you’ve been to Germany once, so you’ve got Europe knocked, and your plane touched down in Ireland, so that covers the UK, and you know about Russia since you’re right across the water from ‘em – that’s about it except for China and North Korea. Hey, did you see the Olympics on TV?”
PALIN: “Sure.”
McCAIN: “A lot of the people in the audience there were Chinese – you know, like gooks. The North Koreans are the same damn thing. Just watch out for ‘em, is all, ’cause they’re known for being diabolical. I read all about it in those Fu Manchu books when I was a boy. Man, when I become president, I’m gonna send in the Marines and rip that Chink demon Manchu a new one!”
PALIN: “What about all of this stuff in Georgia I hear on the radio, war or whatever? I don’t even know where that place is.”
McCAIN: “It’s just north of Florida. You don’t have to worry about any of that crap – that’s just Cheney trying to start the Cold War again to give us Republicans something to campaign on this year. Sure can’t campaign on the wonderful friggin’ economy can we? Ha, ha!”
PALIN: “So, is there anything else I need to know?”
McCAIN: “Nope. You’re as much of an expert on foreign policy as I am now.”
PALIN: “Wow, I never realized how easy foreign policy really is! Thanks, John!”
McCAIN: “C’mon over here and show Big John how grateful you are.”
PALIN: “I’ll get the Viagra. Do you want me to wear the moosehead again?”
McCAIN: “Oh, yeah, gotta have the moosehead. Heh, heh, heh — you’re gonna make a great Vice President, kiddo!”
WHO’S YOUR DADDY/MOMMY?
REMEMBER WHILE YOU READ THIS, HOCKEY MOMMY IS THE PERSON DRAGGING THIS UNWED GIRL AND HER BOYFRIEND AROUND FOR PUBLIC SCRUTINY!
NO RECORD OF PALIN ‘SON’ TRIG BORN ON THE DATE CLAIMED … IS THIS BRISTOL’S 2ND PREGNANCY NOT THE 1ST!!!
http://www.mediatakeout.com/2008/26353
People’s children are off limits? This is not about her daughter bristol, no one is attacking her daughter… this is about another GOP corrupt politician who wants to be vice-president or president.
We don’t need it… not another 4 or 8 years of lying corrupt president and vice-president…. we had enough of bush and cheney… this is about Palin lies,cover-ups and misconduct.“Gov. Palin needs to take a DNA or blood test to prove that baby trig is hers… all the evidence is supporting that the baby belongs to Bristol, her daughter.
I saw pictures and VIDEO of gov. palin when she CLAIMED to be 7 and 8 months pregnant, AND SHE DIDn’t look freakin 7 or 8 months preganant to me… I have six children by two different women so I freakin know what a 7 and 8 month pregnant woman looks like. Palin was not pregnant with trig, bristol was.
If Bristol is now pregnant a second time or her 2nd pregnancy is a hoax to force her to marry her boyfriend to cover up for gov palin scandal…… faux-lame and biased news channel and other media outlets who support the GOP are trying to cover-up the scandal… and the oabama campaign is too scared to touch the issue cause they are just scared of being called a sexist for busting Palin’s chops.
NEWS FLASH: A rumor is not a rumor when evidence to support the claim exist… OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE!!!!”
FACTS:
Summer Recap: Georgian Aggression Against Russia an Epic Failure
from http://www.breadwithcircus.com/
As the opening ceremonies of the Olympic Games began in Beijing, Georgian President Mikhail Sakashvilli, shown here eating his tie, decided that it would be a good idea to invade the de-facto independent, breakaway republic of South Ossetia. The Georgians laid waste to the regional capital of Tskhinvali, wiping out an estimated 1500 civilians the first night of the attack. I suppose that Sakashvilli figured that with all eyes on the Bird’s Nest, (and words of encouragement from Washington) the rest of the world would be too busy to respond. (more…)

The Tattlesnake — An Ad Obama Should Run Immediately Edition
But Probably Won’t…
Spot Title: ‘Community Service’
IMAGES: Montage of candy stripers helping senior citizens and feeding disabled vets; volunteers serving food at a disaster relief shelter, piling up sandbags during a flood, handing groceries to a family at a food pantry.
VOICE-OVER: “Every day, all over America, volunteers willingly give up their free time to help their fellow citizens, a proud tradition of helping others that has made America great…”
CUT TO IMAGES & AUDIO: Rudy Giuliani and Sarah Palin snickering over Obama’s community service at the GOP convention.
V.O.: “Yet, to hear the Republican Party, their selfless efforts to help their fellow Americans and that tradition of aiding those in need is only worthy of snide laughter…”
CUT TO IMAGE: Ask the Republican Party – what do they have against community service?
V.O.: “Ask the Republican Party – what do they have against community service?”
CUT TO IMAGES OF OBAMA & BIDEN
V.O.: “Barack Obama and Joe Biden believe in service to America – not only in Washington, but in local communities across the land. They believe this country was built on Americans helping other Americans. Why does the Republican Party have a problem with this?”
CUT TO IMAGE: Elect Obama-Biden in 2008 – if you believe in helping America.
If Obama doesn’t run an ad like this soon, and make it a regular talking point, Thom Hartmann will be right – the GOP will paint community service as some kind of far-left liberal tripe to be snickered at.
