She’s too busy depositing speaker’s fees in her bank account to read the writing on wall. As long she can make a good living milking her pseudo-conservative celebrity for all it’s worth, she’d be stupid not too.
I don’t think Ms. Palin realizes how ignoble she makes herself appear when she makes off the cuff statements like that. I’m sure, in her, mind she sounded tough on Terrorism.
To me, she conjured images of the Imperial Catholic church torturing Jews, Muslims, and any deemed not Christian enough until they, too, could appreciate their loving compassionate God.
What an appalling excuse of a human being. And how dare she associate a fundamental belief of Christianity with torture.Christ said “love your enemies.” The only place torture shows up in the Gospels is what was done to Jesus. It would be nice if Palin noticed that.
@motivemagus – You do realize that Baptism predates Christianity? John the Baptist Baptised Christ before Christ started his ministry.
And we have all heard the term Baptism by fire.
I’m not defending her. Just trying to modulate your outrage which shouldn’t be based on faith but on how significantly she dehumanizes a group of people.
Jon Stewart called Sarah Palin “a self-opening piñata” for comedians. It would be funny if it wasn’t so serious.Clarence Page states that Ms. Palin “is certain about everything and knows about nothing”; this was after she made the comments about Paul Revere shooting guns and ringing bells to warn the British that we were going to use our right to bear arms, which hadn’t been written yet.
I say she’s as dumb as a bag of hammers. The fact that Republicans take her seriously is a stinging indictment of the Republican party, and helps to underscore Bobby Jindal’s characterization that Republicans are “the party of stupid”.
Speaking of Mr. Jindal, I wonder how many people would be willing to vote for him if they knew his real first name is not Bobby.
@Baslim – I think you would be correct if we actually tried and convicted terrorists in a fair court. But we tortured men and women who we suspected of being involved in terrorist plots and then subjected them to Kangaroo courts.
I agree that those fairly found guilty of terrorist acts have already dehumanized themselves. But the fact that the army fought tooth and nail to avoid trying them in a fair court tells me they would have had a difficult time proving their assertions.
John and Sarah were only 2 or 3 percentage points from the White House. Imagine four or eight years of John and Sarah on top of eight years of Bush and Cheney, if you can. “John and I are maaaveriiicks ……..” Wouldn’t that have been fun!
Palin is simply a money-grubbing, rather pathetic, slightly above moron level “CON servative”. She’s simply too oft repeated a bad joke that should be re-baptised, maybe 30 minutes of full emersion would fix her “problems”?
Eddie, was this what was taught in your Sunday School? Is this what you teach in your Sunday School?It’s sheer nonsense. Take it from someone who grew up within Catholicism and a Portuguese community. The Spanish (and later the Portuguese) had their inquisitions to ensure there was no Crypto-Judaism, to ‘ensure’ conversos were indeed ‘New Christians’.In reality it often meant property and wealth confiscation of those ‘inquisited’.I may criticise some of the history taught in Portugal ( in particular the discoveries) but I have never heard any Portuguese deny the crimes of the Inquisitions.
What you are doing amounts to “Inquisition denial” on par with Armenian genocide & Holocaust deniers.If anyone believes these tales libelling the Jews (not far from the Blood Libel) I’d say they’re 3 sips long on their communal wine.

Big difference between Hillary and Palin, Hillary is smart. (She also can probably win the Presidency.
