Monday, November 24 An open letter to Sarah Palin: Dear Governor — For the first time in eight years I feel a mixture of joy and anger in my heart.
Ms. Palin, I was angered by your inciting of violence at your rallies. It was appalling to hear cries of "traitor", "kill him", "terrorist" and the angry shouting of one man looking at the camera as he went into one of your rallies "Kill another baby, you bastard". And yet you said nothing to quell outcries. John McCain said he was 'proud' of the people who attended your rallies. This is the same John McCain I once respected and might have considered voting for in 2000.
And so, after eight years of an Administration that I have never been proud of, I feel joy and still can't believe that we have finally done the right thing and elected a person, whom, I feel, is highly intelligent and will pick responsible persons for his Cabinet and Administration. He will not be perfect — no president ever is, but I have faith in his ability and sense of what the country needs now and has needed for the last eight years.
As for Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, you can shake hands with them — they do the same things on their radio shows as you did in your rallies.
Limbaugh spews hatred and vitriole almost every time he speaks. He lumps all Liberals together. We are just as different from one another as are the Conservatives. He won't bother me anymore, although I understand he is already at it again, criticizing President-Elect Obama. I feel that those who listen to him and agree with him probably never watch television shows in which there are opposing views offered. I think the format all of us should watch is a panel of Liberals and Conservatives discussing the issues and giving individual points of view. There are news shows on television that offer this format.
Governor Palin, I hope that you will become educated in government, geography and national policies before you consider running for office again. You could do so much good with your ability to speak directly to people, or you could become a conservative talk-show host, spreading hatred and intolerance to those who want to believe everything they hear without investigating the truth. I hope you will change your message to one of bringing people together, which is what Barack Obama did for our country.
There was concern that people who said they would vote for Obama would actually vote for McCain, thus mislead the polls. In reality, it appears that many who said they would vote for McCain voted for Obama. It was time to end the division of races and vote for one who wants the United States to once again be respected around the world.
If telling the truth about you and yours is "spewing hatred and vitriol", YOU are the one with the problem.
My vote for Post of the Evening.
Who’s Connie and why should we care?
If Obama is going to be a socialist, he is going to be criticized for it, as well he should be. Bush got no grace period from the liberals and has been getting hammered constantly regardless of what he does or doesn't do. As far as I'm concerned, with regard to criticizing the president, liberals have provided the example for conservatives to follow. So, silly rant writer, either stfu or look into the mirror and make some changes.
LOL. That’s funny.
But the scary thing is that people actually believe this crap. Look at the comments at the link. They’ve bought the lie and it’s gone viral.
Kill another baby, Connie.
Too bad you got your knickers all in a twist, Connie, but your anger is misplaced. You should direct it at the MSM who presented FALSE reports of those things happening at Sarah’s rallies.
