I'm done with her

Well, I am not defending Sarah Palin anymore.  I have tried to be neutral.  I have suggested that if she did a good job the next 4 years in Alaska, that she might be a great Republican candidate.  But after her attacks this week, I am done.  When I hear interviews with people leaving her rallies saying they are "afraid" of Barack Obama, saying they were on the fence before, but now they are "terrified" if Obama elected.  More and more people are calling him a terrorist.  We've seen these changes on this board this week.

She's either an idiot, or she is content to lead with fear and further fracture our country.  If she believes that for a second that Obama has a terrorist agenda, she's a dummy.  I don't think she believes it, however.  I think she is just throwing out the insinuations, letting people connect the dots, and come to the most vicious of conclusions.   I've heard her lastest battle cry referred to as "red meat" speeches, where she is throwing raw meat to the savage dogs to work them into a frenzy, throwing chum in the water to stir up the sharks. 

I can take this kinda crap from Hannity or Rush or Savage or any of the others.  But she is trying to be the VP - NOTHING about her this week has been either Presidential or remotely classy.   Will she use this same language about world leaders?  Will she say the same about our Secretary of State when they meet with "unfriendly" leaders?  Did Colin Powell or Condy Rice "pal around with terrorists"?  They have certainly met with some of the most controversial leaders in the world. 

I won't defend her any more.  I will not, as a Republican woman myself, support her if chooses to run on '12.  I will leave her to the dogs and let them attack.  I am ready for REAL change, and this type of race baiting, this type of insulting, unpatriotic dialogue about a STANDING US SENATOR, is beyond insulting.  I'm disappointed in her, in myself for supporting her, and this morning, as I listened to part of her speech, I actually threw up in my mouth a little.  Her words, her tone, and the response she created was disgusting.  I am done with her.

Palin's not dishing out hate, she's dishing out the truth.


She is NOT dishing out the truth.

It's ironic but if Obama was the President now, the malicious tactics of McCain and Palin in their speeches would be considered treason and they would be imprisoned or worse.


McCain/Palin are happily and knowingly inciting violence by claiming in every speech that Obama is a "domestic terrorist" and as they turn a blind eye to the crowds' shouts of, "Kill him!" and "Terrorist."

taken out of context it sounds worse if that is true. (is it?)><


In all honesty, both contexts are horrible.

ok...but earlier in this thread, someone showed where BO's campaign said that BO and Ayers (are or were) "certainly friendly".....coming from his own campaign.....but those are tricky words..."friendly" could be different than "friends" if you wanted it to be..IDK


here's the paragraph where that quote came from

I'm "certainly friendly" with a lot of people that I'm not friends with. I like to think of myself as a friendly person.. doesn't mean I agree with the acts of everyone I am friendly to or even those whom I run in similar circles with thereby running into them on occasion. Not everyone Ayers has relations with is a terrorist so they could easily run into each other thru mutual acquaintances or at fundraisers or charity events but not "pal around" as Palin states. And "a guy in the neighborhood" generally means you've been at places together or have mutual friends not that he doesn't know him. That still doesn't prove he agrees with Ayers' past.
