Palin's politics

Excellent article. As usual, the right wing corporate media are giving her the same free ride they give Grampy McSame. Can you just imagine if this had been Obama?! BTW, "Brooks is a loser" you show your ignorance when you can't even spell it.

There is video evidence of AIP's vice chairman claiming Sarah Palin as a former member and having switched to the Republican Party to get elected. Of course AIP will deny her membership now because they know that if she's tied to their group, their chances of getting a stealth candidate into the White House become zero.

I am certain that she is a secessionist. She is everthing they say. She is a real Tabloid Queen-- as well as her family. Move over Brittany Spears. This woman is a walking "wedge issue" candidate, brought on to fire up the base. She represents everything that's wrong with a certain segment of our country. She represents the Northern version of the Ku Klux Klan. Fasten your seat belts, folks. The revelations have just begun, and I am not talking about the Bible either. It's like watching a train wreck unfold. Whew! You go Rush Limbaugh-- calling her a "babe". That's what our country really needs, Rush.

So when are we going to go after her? They tried to sink Obama with hanging out with Anti-American Jeremiah Wright. But a freaking secessionist? Why aren't we harking on the nightly news about this. How Anti-American can you get, wanting to break away from our great nation?

A cynical arrogant moron, Rosa Brooks is the epitome of all that is wrong with Journalism. Blindly one-sided, sellfishly myopic, Brooks has the gall to ingornatly demean others and point fingers. Let her go back to the hole she crawled out of and make room for someone who can pose an intelligent reasonable discourse.

You can have your own opinions, but you can't have your own facts. The AIP already had to apologize about Palin being a secessionist or AIP member and Rosa ought to as well. Clark was wrong, and admitted it, time to fess up or take up a new line of work. Lieberman addressed Republicans but it doesn't make him a religious right-wing Republican.

Can you imagine if this story came out about the Obama's? The media would be beating down everyone's doors to be sure they knew about it. Liberal media, my ass! This should not be off limits because it's about a white woman. Republicans are being given a free pass time and again in mainstream media. Any outlet trying to expose and talk about the truth is being dismissed as having a liberal left agenda. This AIP story should be on every newscast and newspaper until this woman is drummed out of any hope of any political office. Mainstream media is afraid of religous conservatives.

Maybe she's a part of the Aryan Nation - we could sure use more Neo-nazi's in government, eh? Sarah Palin is a hypocritical liar and bigot, who may not even be the father of Trig, in which case that would make Bristol's latest, the SECOND 'blessed event' in her young life. And Sarah Palin wants to tell everyone else what do to behind closed doors! Her under-age daughter has one baby - possibly two - and Sarah Palin is an exemplar of family values?? McCain is a disgrace for putting her on the ticket, and she's a disgrace without even doing anything. She's one step away from Aryan Nationalists...unbelievable.

Rosa-- Thanks for the public service, it will be seen as the turning point. From NM, where the gringos really did take the country from its rightful owners, these Alaskans are nothing but a bunch of lousy carpetbaggers trying to filtch the inheritance my ancestors earned for all of us. If the AIP ever got its way, we should push them into the Bering Sea, and send the rest of the lying hyenas that constitute the Republican base with them. Beware of False Prophets.... You Shall Know Them By Their Fruits.

This whole thing feels like the Harriet Miers fiasco and not because they are both women. The failure is with Bush and McCain whole selected two totally unqualified individuals for pure political reasons.
