Last Sunday, Sarah Palin stood before the huge crowd at the 2014 National Rifle Association annual meeting and condemned liberals for coddling terrorists. She loaded her speech with religious metaphors, claiming that true leaders would put "the fear of God in our enemies." She said, "They obviously have information on plots to carry out jihad. Oh, but you can't offend them, can't make them feel uncomfortable, not even a smidgen. Well, if I were in charge, they would know that waterboarding is how we baptize terrorists."
Palin's invocation of forced baptism shocked both conservatives and liberals, inspiring few defenders. Christian commentators, in particular, focused on her link between torture and baptism.
On Wednesday, the National Religious Campaign against Torture released a powerful condemnation of the speech. To Palin, the organization's executive director wrote, "Your statements play into a false narrative conveying that somehow, the conflict between the United States and the terrorist cells is a conflict between Christianity and Islam, or Islam and 'the West.'"(continued)

I don’t mind if my critics call me a lazy tenured socialist academic. But criticizing my earring is GOING TOO FAR!

With luck, I will shortly have an essay on CNN published right next to Elizabeth Warren’s. I’m gonna bask in that reflected wisdom.
I think he looks ‘smarmy’, which might be worse.
Notice how in full context it flows and the punch line has punch. Notice how in the Slimey media it sounds flat and dull. Great editing on the part of the libturds in the media. F’ em.
Is he also a fake Indian, like Senator Warren and Ward Churchill?
Talk about taking things to far....
Sharecroppers. Migrant Workers. Adjuncts?
David Perry
Associate Professor at Dominican University
“Do you think adjunct rights are a civil-rights issue?” This question came to me from a young scholar about to defend his Ph.D. He’s just finishing a great one-year position but does not have employment yet for next year.
Trying to answer his question led me into an interesting group of writings that link the conditions of adjuncts to historically oppressed and exploited peoples such as slaves, sharecroppers, and migrant workers. This language may be misguided. But its apparent utility reveals one of the big obstacles to improving the condition of adjuncts in higher education today.
Clearly, the conditions of adjuncts are deplorable. From the homeless adjunct protesting in New York to the countless stories of inequity, struggle, hunger, and ostracism, the human toll of adjunctification should appall anyone who pays attention.
Over the past few years, an increasing number of voices have argued that adjunctification is best understood as something especially terrible rather than an all-too-typical example of the rise of contingency across the North American workforce. Why do advocates need to go to such rhetorical lengths to gain our sympathy?

McVeigh claimed, in an interview, to believe in God, but declined to be any more specific, saying it would only serve as an excuse for people to alienate themselves from him. Most likely he was something of a follower of the white supremacist “Christian Identity” movement, given his apparent devotion to “The Turner Diaries” and its author.
When I was a kid, we use to “water board” each other with a water hose (until my mother caught us at it). I don’t know where my cousin learned all that.
Palin advocates forced baptism. How evil and repugnant.
Next thing she'll reject Oprah Winfrey's efforts to end racism (live white people).
"There are still generations of older people who were born and breed and marinated in that prejudice and racism and they just have to die." [She's not talking about the victims of racism!]
“You managed to get the “she went too far”, “talk show host meme” AND the screechy voice slams all in one post. I am so impressed...not.”
It’s a gift. And a curse.
Another hand wringing bed wetter got his panties in a wad over Sarah. She sure stirred them up (The hand wringing bed wetters) at the NRA convention!
Is he talking about Cherokee Liz, the fake indian? I am sure there is a lot of wisdom glowing from there.
lol...
I certainly believe that the only reason the jihadists don't kill every westerner is that we are too big.
If the time ever comes that we are not dominant, I believe that these people would torture and kill us all and drag our mutilated bodies through the streets.
Needs a “wet panties” alert.
McVeigh said, "Science is my religion" which means he was an atheists.
As Ferris Bueller said, “You can never go too far. If I’m gonna get busted, it is *not* gonna be by a guy like *that*.”
