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!”

that cause me to understand just how out of control some Palin supporters are.

What are you talking about? You think the author of this hit piece on Sarah is a supporter of Sarah with their 'labels'?

I did not realize NewsWeek was the entity to make that comment. I agree with your take on my comment, that was clearly off base.

Actually I predicted the ankle biting 1%ers would arrive quickly.

You did.

Amazing, huh?

Yeah, amazing Lakesnark.

How about sitting on your fist and leaning back on your thumb for your next trick?

I appreciate your support, but with regard to this set of comments, they was based on the idea a Palin supporter had made the original comment.

Although my thoughts were sound, the basis for them was clearly not sound. For that I apologize to forum participants that would have been slammed had that basis been correct.

I made a mistake and am sorry to have done so.

EXACTLY! A little too ready to blast conservative Sarah and those of us who support her because of her values.

Actually LakeSnark, people who have valid disagreements with someone backing a person like this are hardly ankle biters.

It’s those who refuse to acknowledge Conservative truth and deal with it, that are deserving of contempt.

Sarah supports this:

Look, I know some don't like Sarah. But what I find more dishonest are those that use that dislike to fuel and even more seemingly deranged obsession with going after some of her supporters. Yes, I get that there are a handful that may take support to the extreme. Yet, when Newsweek prints an absolute joke of an article going after not only Sarah Palin, but also the Christian right, conservatives, etc.- in an over the top attempt to foster leftist stereotypes, every single freepers should pound the hell out of it.

The day freepers favor an obvious MSM hit piece over defending what's being attacked (and it ain't Sarah, ya'll!), it makes me wonder how many have lost sight of where the true evil lies.

I’m trying to get this greasepaint off my face before they tie a tag to my toe, don’t want to head to the coroner’s office looking like this! I’ll bite my ankles later on.

FYI, some fool in the dunk tank started slamming the college that was emblazoned on a sweatshirt I was wearing. I ignored the carney until he actually questioned my intelligence (as if). So I walked up, paid for three balls, and dunked his toothless a$$ on the first throw. There was no need to throw ball 2 or 3. :)

You know what, doughy one, I wouldn't click on a link you put up if I was paid to.

You don't just disagree in a sane manner, you're just an angry, bitter ankle biter like the rest of your dumb pdb clown posse.

Don't you have a real job anymore?

Is that an implied threat, VRR?

The irony in that statements is that it REALLY applies to the MSM who’ve been liberal kool aid drinkers for decades.

so unflappably forgiving and Christian in the face of the unrelentingly nasty, sexist, filthy attacks on her and her family.

So true! They HATE her for what she stands for...God, family and country and they FEAR her that she will bring our country back from the pit.

FEAR and HATE are satan's MO.
