If you love your freedom, assail a hack (heckler at Palin rally was a plant)

Bless your heart, sir, my son is over in Eye-Rack, fighting for your right to protest. -- Sarah Palin, to a purported heckler at a rally yesterday.

There's something doubly evil about a self-avowed Christian who prefaces almost every uncharitable remark she makes with a disingenuous "Bless your heart!" In any case, I say this without even the slightest amount of support or emboldening from the US military-- **** you and your jingoistic blather, Palin. How's that for freedom?

I've dealt with the intellectually bereft assertion that there is a direct relation between domestic freedom and this country's militant imperialism many times so please consider this a brief general election refresher tirade.

We were told years ago that our freedom was on the line in Vietnam. The USA then LOST the Vietnam War but we remained free. To this very day, Charlie has made no forays into my neighborhood -- unless of course you count the NIKE Store that he fills with manufactured goods in exchange for subhuman wages.

If I heart my freedom, thank a vet? Well, maybe a WWII vet but after that, you've got to be kidding me. The military/police state that is America in 2008 is overrun by people who think they have a perfect right to crack protesters in the head, restrict speech and impose ridiculous limitations upon civil liberties-- all in the name of freedom! Habeas corpus is a memory, constitutional safeguards against consolidation of power by the executive branch have been bound and gagged in Dick Cheney's inner office, the Fourth Amendment has been extraordinarily renditioned to parts unknown and the federal government is the silent partner in everyone's cell phone "friends and family" plan. For this I'm supposed to thank some poor sap, stupid enough to join a military with a draft-dodging rich boy serving as its commander in chief? Please. The war in Iraq (and allegedly on terrorism) has been used to curtail my freedoms. Loose lips sink bull**** at times of unnecessary war and we can't have that, can we?

To deal specifically with Palin's putdown of the person at the rally:

1- It's even money the 'heckler' was a plant. Has anyone spoken to him since the rally? Where is he? Gitmo?

2- Considering all the people who have been arrested over the past several years for protesting (or wearing tee-shirts or not being card-carrying Republicans or whatever) at mainstream American political gatherings (both R & D), Palin is relying upon American ignorance with her talk of "fighting for freedom." She has no use for protesters except when she can put them down by exploiting her own son.

3- With her outburst yesterday, Governor Palin only underscored the fact that her son is in Iraq as a potential human sacrifice to her political ambition. Like her daughter she is forcing into marriage, he has been shoved by his stupid family into an arrangement that may well destroy his life because it is what is best for his mother's cynical aspirations. (At least Biden's son is also promoting his own political ambitions.) Young Palin is also serving as a Hessian in the cause of corporate imperialism. Sadly, that pretty much sums up what this poor dupe is doing in Iraq. To repeat, he doesn't have a goddamned thing to do with my freedom to call Palin on her bumper sticker jingoism. His presence in Iraq doesn't make it safe for me to speak out against reactionary slime like his mother. The First Amendment to the Constitution is what guarantees my right to accurately label political bottom-feeders like Sarah Palin.

Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel and Palin opens with it. Then the freeze-dried fascist sinks even lower by terrorist-baiting her political opponents. She is the worst America has to offer.

So if you love your freedom, thank a protester for confronting penny-ante political thugs like Sarah Palin.

He has no proof, yet he acts like he does. Problem with moonbats is that they make assertions with nothing to back them up.

Does that include all the anarchists who were arrested for rioting, vandalism, and conspiracy to commit acts of terror and mayhem?

“...We were told years ago that our freedom was on the line in Vietnam. The USA then LOST the Vietnam War but we remained free....”

This Man/Woman does not understand that After the USA left that part of the World, there were 2 million people murdered by the Khmer Rouge...

He/She should read up on history...

See post 33 for clarification. Sorry I missed the profanity. Barry has been a syndicated writer on occasion. I posted this because it is important to document that there are people like him out there. He has appeared on most of the news networks, and like Bill Ayres, he is generally able to make himself seem outwardly rational.

Oh Charlie has made many forays. He infiltrated the Democrat party. He resides in the environmentalist movement. Charlie is alive and well and is darn close to being President.

Know the enemy.

Remember, this IS the pop-culture left speaking. You can find lesser versions of this goebbelist swine spouting the same lies in any coffee shop or music venue in the country, and a great many classrooms as well.

Never forget that this liberal is reflecting the thoughts of the majority of the Sheep. They vote Left, and have voted Left since 1993. In the last two Presidential elections, we were simply lucky that fewer Sheep turned out than Americans did.

“To this very day, Charlie has made no forays into my neighborhood”

Well, that’s because he already had Ayers and Alinsky and
Dorhn and Obama working right in his backyard.

Sheeesh what a loser this guy is, “exploiting her son” say isn’t he getting Sarah confused with Cindy Sheehan?

Yeah, if you call THIS "free." By the way, aren't you the same schmuck talking about the oppressive military machine that has crushed American liberty and all the rest of that marxist jabber?

And whether WE remained free or not, a couple million Vietnamese, Laotians, Cambodians, and Thais didn't. Unless you call being liberated from their earthly bondage freedom. Because the butchers that took over South Vietnam after we left murdered them.

But Sarah Palin is a "thug."

That one is not so bad. It has a link. A position. And asks for a response.

It is clear about who it is talking about, what the subject is, and why the person wants to know.
