Saint Sarah [Newsweek's Full Bore Palin Attack]

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!”

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. :)

LOL, you gotta love that, wish I could have seen it!

Sounds like you got quite an arm on ya... ;)

"Ankle Biter! Ankle Biter! NYAH-NYAH-NYAH!"

The quintessential one-trick Lakesharksnark.

Hey, y'all are so easy to put over the top with your ridiculous anger toward life, I kind of get a kick out of it.

That you lose it so easily doesn't say much about your character.........

[DoughtyOne]

LOL

You know these folks are going to believe you.

[rintense]

It was so worth it. And for someone who usually doesn't let that crap go without a verbal assault, I said nothing. After the dunk, nothing needed be said. The guy I was dating at the time was silent for around 5 minutes and then said, 'remind me to never slam Michigan State'.

As for the arm, whenever I see my old HS softball coach, he still says he's never seen a stronger arm on a girl- ever. Even shattered part of the bleachers in the gym when the first baseman couldn't handle the throw. I thank my brothers for making me such an awesome athlete. Basically had to learn to throw hard out of self defense! LOL.

[rintense]

How and the heck is that an implied threat?

[rintense]

Stop that flashing text!!!!!! (enters seizure mode)

Rintense, I do defend Palin against the media around here. I made a mistake on this thread and I owned up to it when it was pointed out. Not only that I offered up an apology for having done it, not once but several times, and even addressed a person who supported me, explaining that I had in fact made a mistake.

Please point to one place where the Palin sycophants have done anything like that.

I addressed the reality of my mistake, and yet I and others are dismissed constantly for pointing out that it is a massive denial of Conservative principle to back John McCain or Carly Fiorina. Pointing out that she also backed other more Conservative people is rather pointless too, since John’s seniority will lead to a number of them being defeated in their efforts, or being turned to McCain’s own desires.

If there were a little more honesty around here, it would help.

If I hate Palin so much, why did I say that I thought she was much more attractive today, than she was in that beauty pageant? I wouldn’t bother to say anything positive if I in fact hated her.

[DoughtyOne]

Yes, heavens no, don’t chance going to the coroner with that on. Ged ouda here... ;^)

[sickoflibs]

Newsweek is a liberal rag no one reads.

[CAluvdubya]

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.

I agree! The attacks on SP (even on this site) remind me of the Stephen King novel/movie, "The Stand".

[DoughtyOne]

That’s alright LakeSnark, tens of thousands of lurkers come by the forum each day, and when you draw them to my posts with your replies, they can see for themselves what John McCain saw fit to support during his 28 years in Washington. And they can see for themselves that Sarah had not problem with any of it, to the point she would support a Conservative over Leftist enabler and closet Democrat John McCain.

[Lakeshark]

Lol.

I have a hint for you, nobody is drawn to your posts.........

You just tried to convince rintense how fair minded you are and that you really, kind of sort of like Sarah Palin, then you go paint her as the equivalent of John McCain.

The definition of dumb is doughy one.

[SoCalPol]

Sarah Palin is hated by the Left Wing, PaulBots, and WannaBie supporters.
All in hoping for an Obama 2nd Term.

They hate Sarah Palin, the Conservative Republican who can beat Obama in 2012 or they wouldn’t go out of their way to lie and bash her.

LOL using a quote from a Palin-hater to denounce Palin supporters did you fail reading 101? the quote is from the article that is a hit piece against Palin. It is not from a palin supporter. geez Palin-haters are too quick on the draw it seems.

[Josh Painter]

In your tiny mind’s myopic view, McCain is the only candidate Sarah Palin ever endorsed.

Obsess much?

- JP

[SoCalPol]

Sarah is also backing Rubio in Fla

[Bob J]

It’s an implied threat because the anti-freepers were known to go after visable FReepers by contacting their jobs and trying to get them fired.

I’d tread carefully if I were you, you’re playing with fire.

[unseen1]

agree and great post!
