Dems going to far
This is just going to far. And this time it's a democrat. Hanging a Palin dummy by a noose crossed the line. No political figure should be hanging from a noose. That is not what we are about. This is simply disgusting and does no one any good. It only fuels hatred and divisiveness. Halloween or not, this does not belong in a civilized society.

Let's compare
I found this posted on a blog today . . .
"Let me see if I have this straight....
If you grow up in Hawaii, raised by your grandparents, you're 'exotic, different.' Grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers, a quintessential American story.
If your name is Barack, you're a radical, unpatriotic Muslim. Name your kids Willow, Trig and Track, you're a maverick.
Graduate from Harvard Law School and you are unstable. Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you're well grounded.
If you spend 3 years as a community organizer, become the first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter registration drive that registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law professor, spend 8 years as a State Senator representing a district with over 750,000 people, become chairman of the state Senate's Health and Human Services committee, spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing a state of 13 million people while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran's Affairs committees, you don't have any real leadership experience. If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000 people, 20 months as the governor of a state with only 650,000 people, then you're qualified to become the country's second highest ranking executive.
If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising 2 daughters, all within Protestant churches, you're not a real Christian. If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, left your wife and married the heiress the next month, you're a Christian.
If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education, including the proper use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society. If, while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no other option in sex education in your state's school system while your unwed teen daughter ends up pregnant , you're very responsible.
If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who gave up a position in a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city community, then gave that up to raise a family, your family's values don't represent America. If you're husband is nicknamed 'First Dude', with at least one DWI conviction and no college education, who didn't register to vote until age 25 and once was a member of a group that advocated the secession of Alaska from the USA, your family is extremely admirable.
OK, much clearer now. "

Prevaricating Mendacious Truthstretcher
Well, Yes. Sarah Palin is a much better liar than even John McCain. Not only is she a liar, she's such a skilled bald faced liar she will lie about what is plainly in black and white and expect you to believe her.

Sunday Palin Accomplishments
Today Sarah Palin had a good day. She managed to whip up the frenzy of a crowd of bigots in Ohio. She was clearly successful as she was greeted with shouts of "Obama loves terrorists" and "Killer" referring to Obama. Good job, Sarah. I'm sure some of your gun-toting devotees will soon set their sights on the first black president of the United States. You should be proud of yourself. And on the Lord's day, too. You get extra points for working on the day of rest. Onward Christian Soldiers, I say.
Racist Repuglican tries to hide after being caught
From CBS News' Scott Conroy comes more affirmation of the deep-seated racism that is rampant in the frothing hateful crowds at the McShame/Failin rallies. A man at the Palin rally in Philadelphia yesterday was grinning and waving a monkey doll with an Obama sticker attached to its head. Once he realized he was being watched on camera he tore the sticker off, tried to hide behind a sign and pretended to be a nice guy by giving the monkey doll to a kid next to him. No wonder Palin was booed at the Flyers hockey game.
Watch CBS Videos Online
Update: The monkey's name is "Little Hussain" according to this racist bigot who was caught on video in line before the rally.

McCain Campaign inciting violence against Obama
And they stand there saying nothing.
First, McCain gets the crowd riled up to shout that Obama is a terrorist.
Then, Gov. Palin basically calls Obama a terrorist for serving on a board together with Bill Ayers. This encouraged the audience to call for the death of Obama flat out. People shouting "Kill Him".
Read it for yourself.
You've got to ask yourself, WTF? Has the GOP turned into the KKK? This is a racist lynching if I ever saw one.
So much for straight talk and ethics.
I would think the majority of the American people are tired of the guilt by associate McCarthyistic tactics and will not respond to this garbage. Certainly the polls keep climbing in Obama's favor.
Of course, there are some parts of America where the McShame/Failin racist message resonates. Deep in the heart of Kentucky.

Obama Tax Fact Check
Palin's assertion that Obama voted to raise taxes 94 times was very misleading.
Read more here.
Obama did NOT vote 94 times to increase taxes and NEVER voted to increase taxes for middle class Americans.

Palin's flag is bigger than Biden's
Actually, Palin's pin is the size of Texas!Just a quick note with some thoughts . .
I think both candidates did exceeding well. Both performed above expectations. Palin certainly showed she had done her homework and could talk on point with no gaffes whatsoever.
I think Biden showed he was eminently more qualified to step into a presidential position if necessary.
I was confused when Palin started talking about taxes when questioned about something completely different early in the debate. It seemed awkward to all of a sudden to start that topic when it wasn't the topic she was supposed to answer but that is the nature of debates - to turn the discussion to things you want to talk about. She did that ok and it wasn't bad.
It was DEFINITELY a much more exciting and lively debate than the first presidential debate.
If one is to follow CNN's Ohio men and women real time response tracking, Biden had an advantage of positives over Palin.
I think the polls will end up being more favorable to Biden.
I think Palin did an admirable job - especially compared to most people's expectations.
I think Palin did not do quite as well as Biden.
I think the VP debate will not really affect the polls or election outcome significantly in any direction because neither candidate screwed up.
And she did say "talibani". I laughed when she said it. I don't think it was a killer to her though.
I think her comments about Biden's dead wife getting her 'rewards in heaven' were not really appropriate. I wonder how that will resonate later.
It was fun and lively. I hope the future presidential debates have as much vigor.
Oh, Sarah looked hot and Biden showed some wrinkles. :)
I like the roundup on Huffington Post.
She has opposed a supreme court decision
I'm sure most of you have already seen Sarah Palin with Katie Couric not being able to recall a supreme court decision that she has opposed. If not, here it is again.
I am actually somewhat surprised at Governor Palin's gaffe here. She spoke at length just last June about the Supreme Court's decision to reduce the Exxon Valdez settlement to Alaska by $2.5 billion. She obviously opposed the court's decision.
Take a look.
It is interesting that Governor Palin is 'against' the oil companies when it means billions of dollars for Alaska. I don't know that this position would sit well with the 'drill, baby, drill' crowd. Regardless, I want to know why she couldn't answer Katie Couric's question with this example since she was obviously very much involved with it just a few months ago.
Hat tip to my new favorite blog, Progressive Alaska.

Ifwill should not moderate
Can I tell you a secret?
I'm going to vote for Barack Obama this November.
These days I am about as partisan as one can become because I am upset with the direction of this country. But, I will call foul on Democrats when I see it. And I think Gwen Ifill moderating the vice presidential debate tomorrow evening is a mistake. She is obviously solidly in the Obama camp and even if she can maintain a fair and balanced moderator position, it does not look good. I agree with Michelle Malkin that a moderator should be nonpartisan. Gwen is anything but.
I would rather see someone on the right lobbing softballs to Palin than have someone who is obviously left putting into question the credibitily of a fair debate.

Alaskans fed up with McSame/Failin
It has becoming increasingly clear that the lipstick is beginning to rub off and Alaskans are not liking what they see. It appears much of the executive branch of Alaskan government is now being controlled by the McCain campaign and Ms. Failin is using Rovian tactics of ignoring subpoenas and keeping quiet.

Free Sarah Palin
Campbell Brown asks for the sexism to end. Let Sarah Palin be free!
“Tonight I call on the McCain campaign to stop treating Sarah Palin like she is a delicate flower that will wilt at any moment,” said Brown. “This woman is from Alaska for crying out loud. She is strong. She is tough. She is confident. And you claim she is ready to be one heart beat away form the presidency. If that is the case, then end this chauvinistic treatment of her now. Allow her to show her stuff. Allow her to face down those pesky reporters… Let her have a real news conference with real questions. By treating Sarah Palin different from the other candidates in this race, you are not showing her the respect she deserves. Free Sarah Palin. Free her from the chauvinistic chain you are binding her with. Sexism in this campaign must come to an end. Sarah Palin has just as much a right to be a real candidate in this race as the men do. So let her act like one.”
