Palin isn't JUST anti-choice; she's a clinic-blocker who's also anti-biology and anti-geology

[Stop Cornyn]

From Salon:

At one point during the hospital battle, passions ran so hot that local antiabortion activists organized a boisterous picket line outside Dr. Lemagie's office, in an unassuming professional building across from Palmer's Little League field. According to Bess and another community activist, among the protesters trying to disrupt the physician's practice that day was Sarah Palin.

Another valley activist, Philip Munger, says that Palin also helped push the evangelical drive to take over the Mat-Su Borough school board. "She wanted to get people who believed in creationism on the board," said Munger, a music composer and teacher. "I bumped into her once after my band played at a graduation ceremony at the Assembly of God. I said, 'Sarah, how can you believe in creationism -- your father's a science teacher.' And she said, 'We don't have to agree on everything.'

"I pushed her on the earth's creation, whether it was really less than 7,000 years old and whether dinosaurs and humans walked the earth at the same time. And she said yes, she'd seen images somewhere of dinosaur fossils with human footprints in them."

Munger also asked Palin if she truly believed in the End of Days, the doomsday scenario when the Messiah will return. "She looked in my eyes and said, 'Yes, I think I will see Jesus come back to earth in my lifetime.'"

1. ":KUST"? interesting typo.

[1corona4u]

2. I was thinking that too...

what is Kust?

[Lerkfish]

5. I thought it might have been an unconcscious freudian slip

but I won't say what it made me think of.

13. Freudian? Maybe ... but the "j" and the "k" are right next to each other on the keyboard

[Stop Cornyn]

7. Fixed it.

3. America's Sweetheart! Mean and dumb, that's how we like 'em out here.

4. She's anti-human. I'm trying to imagine a scenario where I might agree with her

and I'm drawing a blank. It's bad when you can actually make Dubya start to look reasonable.

[Stop Cornyn]

12. She does seem to be about the only politician who seems to "out-Bush" Bush on the ignoramus meter

[gemlake]

6. The "final days" stuff is scary

Do we really want a religious fundie to be a 72-year-old-heartbeat away from the red button? Yikes.

[Stop Cornyn]

10. Speaking of the scary "final days" nonsense, wasn't one of those Left Behind authors behind the

Obama Waffles nonsense?

8. contemplating Palin makes me think of something I wrote some time ago: I Long for the good old days

...when ignorance wasn't considered a legitimate political position:

11. K&R. (nt)

[Czolgosz]

14. kick and rec.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

15. anti-anthropology too, it seems

[usregimechange]

16. And anti-19th century.

[LiberadorHugo]

17. If you really want my opnion...

Anybody willing to hold these positions in light of the information available to citizens of a developed nation in the Information Age ought to be re-educated in some way.

18. She is Bush, only 10 times more dangerous

Bush is 100% phony from head to toe. He mananged to convince the whackjob element that he really believed in all that end times nonsense, but he rarely sets foot in church and believes his own line of bullshit just about as much as your typical member of the American Humanist Association. They aren't his real base, and the haves and have mores are having too much fun dominating the world to want the party to end someday soon.

Caribou Barbie is, unfortunately, the real thing. A real churchgoing crackpot who, if McSame is elected, is just another melanoma episode away from using the nuclear football to bring on the Left Behind dreamworld scenario all by herself.

19. That's it

A DU'er recommended the DVD - The God Who Wasn't There. Recommended because I already follow the theology of 'it's just a bastardization of so-called pagan religions'.

I'm buying a copy and sending it as a gift to the McPain Campaign. Seriously. That and a copy of Woman With An Alabaster Jar.


She needs to smarten up. IF he lived: He ain't coming back sweetie. He was human being that died just like the rest of us, was conceived just like the rest of us - and she's out of her freaking mind.

[Stop Cornyn]

20. Amen!
