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 doesn't incite violence. She incites people to go to the polls and vote for McCain. I think you should go to one of her rallies to find out the truth before you hurl accusations such as you're hurling. Palin's not dishing out hate, she's dishing out the truth. I think that's what scares you.

I read through much of the AIP website. I don't see any horrible revelations in it. The AIP seems to be a reasonable group simply asking for a fair vote and less government. The AIP is the third largest political party in Alaska and the governor made an address to their convention that lasted 1 minute 22 seconds. I've also pasted a link to the oh so controversial address Sarah Palin made at their last convention. By the way Vogler died in 1993 long before Sarah addressed the convention. I really think this is a laughable attempt to link Sarah Palin with Vogler and to try to make her look anti-american when she is not a member of the AIP. Everyone can judge for themselves.

On a national level the AIP is affiliated with the conservative Constitution Party.

That should be "person at her rallies are awful hateful". I have only seen evidence of one person saying "kill him" in reference to Ayers. I haven't seen "most" republicans using scare tactics. I actually haven't seen any using scare tactics so a link would be appreciated.

So far I've seen evidence of one wacko at a Palin rally. There are wacko democrats too. I don't think you should generalize and try to make it sound like all people or most people at a Palin rally are "awful hateful and violent" unless you attend one.

Her job is to tell lies? She is acting like the 6th degrees relationship makes him a terrorist. You know John McCain has a 6th degree relationship with an abortion clinic bomber, but I am not stupid enough to think he is a terrorist. If republicans come out "scared" of Obama, someone who is already a US senator, they are educated idiots already who shouldnt be able to vote. Sarah Palin has no brain so I don't put any stock in what comes out her mouth anyway. They were saying "Kill Him", no matter who it was directed to, Sarah Palin should have gotten that man escorted out and arrested. Death threats are not exceptable, no matter WHO they are directed to. But she just stood there with that creepy smile she has and kept on lying,

I haven't seen Palin tell any lies. A direct friendship is not 6 degrees of separation and she has not said Obama is a terrorist, she says he's friends with one. Maybe you need to attend one of her rallies so you'll know what she's saying and maybe you won't be so scared of her. What makes you think Palin heard the guy yell out "kill him" when the secret service was there and they didn't hear it? BTW, if Ayers is such an upstanding citizen and their friendship is so innocent why does Obama lie about it?
