Watch Palin get up there with her palms out to catch the rain of Jesus to get her elected. This is just a few minutes after her witch-hunting preacher said this:
"The second area whereby God wants us, wants to penetrate in our society is in the economic area. The Bible says that the wealth of the wicked is stored up for the righteous. It's high time that we have top Christian businessmen, businesswomen, bankers, you know, who are men and women of integrity running the economics of our nations. That's what we are waiting for. That's part and parcel of transformation. If you look at the -- you know -- if you look at the Israelites, that's how they work. And that's how they are, even today."

This is the same preacher just a couple of months ago Palin praised as helping her get into the Governor's mansion.
So Sopal and others who have suggested that we can rest assured Palin is not a nut job, do we really know what Palin thinks, that she's not totally nuts? Here she is, up on stage with an anti-Semite witch hunter after he just spewed some anti-Semitic trash, hands out to catch the rain of Jesus from his prayers.
Maybe there is an explanation for this. We don't have time, however, to get comfortable before November 5th that this Palin is not a nut job who would seek to impose her radical religious beliefs on America.
This video is just another stunner in a long line of them that keep bubbling up. Palin is on the record as saying that it should be illegal for a raped woman not to have her rapist's child. What else does she believe?
And Palin has no credibility. She keeps repeating her bald faced exposed lie that she killed the bridge to nowhere.

Plural, baby. Plural.
No.
You DIDN'T ask ME, specifically. I know that now that the Palin-Loony-Preacher tape has been released, you'd like to make "leftists" justify specifically WHY it is loony....but alas, it is the right wing which has seen fit to drag pastoral connections/speeches/sermons into this season's Presidential debates.
So....by all means....tell us, SPECIFICALLY, what you found so horribly repugnant about Jeremiah Wright's sermons (or the tiny bits of it which were clipped and shown endlessly on the Wingnut Wurlitzer). And then, using those guidelines as a key, I shall tell you what is wrong, SPECIFICALLY, about Sarah Palin's pastor.
Nope, no deflection whatsoever. Just an attempt to make sure I understand the playing field upon which this particular issue will be engaged, since the whole "rev. Wright" thing has been around for a lot longer, and thus gives us a window into what conservatives think is fair game for a militant African preacher to be criticized upon. ;o)
So....no specific comment from you re: Wright?
