Saint Sarah [Newsweek's Full Bore Palin Attack]
Newsweek ^ | June 11, 2010 | Lisa Miller

Posted on 06/11/2010 10:44:41 AM PDT by Steelfish

Saint Sarah To white evangelical women, Sarah Palin is a modern-day prophet, preaching God, flag, and family—while remaking the religious right in her own image.

Another memoirist might prefer to keep such matters private, but Sarah Palin is not another memoirist. In Going Rogue: An American Life, Palin describes, perhaps for the first time in the history of political autobiography, a furtive trip to an out-of-state drugstore to obtain a do-it-yourself pregnancy test. This was in the fall of 2007, when the 43-year-old mother of four was governor of Alaska and began to notice “some peculiar yet familiar physical symptoms, like the smell of cigarettes making me feel more nauseated than usual.” So, while on business in New Orleans—at a time and in a place where her anonymity was still possible—Palin procured the kit. In the privacy of her hotel room, she “followed the instructions on the...box. Slowly a pink image materialized on the stick.

Bill Pugliano Sarah Palin's pro-woman rallying cry is poised to transform the Christian right into a women's movement. View a photo gallery of how her following has become big business. Cult of Palin “Holy geez!”

I agree.

SJB, the things I have documented are out there. They reveal a proclivity for unacceptable behavior that goes back upwards of seven decades in the case of this man.

Who among us has appreciated the school-yard bully? McCain states of himself, (paraphrased) as a young boy I enjoyed getting in fights with the other kids. He enjoyed it. He sought them out.

In every decade of McCain’s life, you can still see problematic behavior. In his grade school life, in his teen life, in his twenties, thirties, forties, fifties, sixties, and Seventies, this jackass has revealed himself to be a man devoid of character. With the exception of his period as a POW, McCain has given proof that he had no morals. And even during that period, some people are not happy with his activity. And when you take his activities ramming through MFN for Vietnam in deference to our MIA military members, their families, and veteran groups, you quickly realize respect for the military past and present, and their families just doesn’t exist for this person.

There are misdeeds over decades that point to what this man really was/is. There is no doubt who he was willing to align with, what he was willing to support against the best interests of our nation and it’s most loyal defenders.

Huckabee is a piker when compared to this.

Here’s why he won’t be at the top of mine.

I certainly return the compliment to you, for the civilized tone of debate.

As I have stated, McCain to me is pure evil. He started out in life as a f up, and a bully, then moved to evil.

” What a waste. The rest of the conservative part of the nation likes Palin..all but this forum. “

You must be delusional. Most conservatives here in Arizona wrote Palin off, when she went all out for McCain. Get a grip!

Is this not a Palin thread where the same group has bashed anyone that says anything positive about palin, turning the thread into a McCain vs Palin thread.

If you read the beginning of the thread, you will see all the nasty comments towards anyone that posts something nice about Sarah Palin. It's very distressing...

Re: your post # 174.

I'm not sure there's ever been a dumber post on this forum. If there is, I'd like to see it just for the laughs it might bring.

Isn't it a bit early to be this looped, Bob?

What’s that got to do with McCain ass kissing?

I’m not anti-Palin, but I am anti-McCain to the core!

Go Palin!

Go JD!!!

Who do you think provided Newsweak with the material of this hit piece? All anyone has to do is read some of the threads around here. Geesh!

It was the Palinistas who liken her to Jesus and attribute things to her that she has never claimed.

You all can blame yourselves if she is not successful in a run for president.

You have made her a figment of the kook imagination. You are making a freak joke out of her. I think she has tried to fight that by her support of McCain and Fiorina, but no, that does not even work for her.

Otherwise, in the real world, she would have had a chance.

What a bunch of kooks.

J.D. has been outspent 12 to 1.

Palin has done non stop radio ads for McCain stating that McCain is next to God 24/7 on the 2 biggest conservative talk show stations in Arizona

AM 790 Tucson

AM 550 Phoenix.

Palin has doubtlessly hurt campaign contributions to Hayworth too.

Nice way of putting it...

There isn’t a way I could read through that list I have developed, click on the links, read the actual articles or first hand reports, and not come away sickened by what this man chose to be involved with for over 70 years.

To provide that list to people, watch them ignore it, or actually say this guy is no different than others, or isn’t as bad as others in the party, causes me to understand what the real value of forums like this actually is.

Either there are so many dishonest disruptors floating around, or people aren’t able to read and obtain understanding from information that is presented.

Either way, the prognosis for this nation isn’t good.

If the majority of people on a Conservative forum can’t recognize, accept, and agree with others that McCain’s activity isn’t unacceptable, there is no hope whatsoever for this nation turning around. There would be no hope of people were only half as bad as McCain.

Are you seriously whining about being called names on FR? What are you, an only child? A fan of show tunes?

The Sarah Tribe is the kindest group here and if you disagree you're obviously Rahm Emanuel's sex slave. But you wouldn't have lasted 5 minutes in a flame war from FR's early days.

Man up, Boo.

My point is made in this thread.... EVERY Palin thread is turned into a McCain vs Palin argument with the same cast of calling anyone that likes Sarah Palin ugly names.

We don't necessarily like McCain but in defending Palin we are accused of "kissing McCain's ass".

How did this Palin thread turn into a McCain thread? Whatever...

So when I refuse to remain silent about Fiorina’s past, I am a Boxer supporter. LOL

Neither of these women is fit to serve in the U.S. Senate. I don’t intend to support either of them for that office.

You can jump up and down, roll on the floor screaming and kicking, or do whatever else you wish to do, I won’t be moved to vote for a leftist from our party in deference to the leftist in the other one.

I generally stop debating the point a few months before the election. Suckers will do what suckers will do. I’m just not going to be a part of installing someone to screw us with an R instead of a D after their name.
