I couldn't give a shit about either side and I still think you come off as unreasonably understanding of her.

We've only had her in the national spotlight for a couple of months, and she has done exceedingly well as Governor of Alaska. So no, I'm not ready to join the witch hunt just yet.Quote:

Enemy of my enemy kind of thing.
Isn't this an exact quote of Sarah Palin from the debate with Biden?Quote:

LIBRUL MEDIA!
WHAT DOUBLE STANDARD. Everyone in line for one of the highest positions in the land (the LAND) should KNOW SHIT. She tries to hide it, but she just treats everything like a hostile job interview.Quote:

I'm talking about the extraneous stuff. We can wring our hands all we want over Palin's religion, but don't you dare mention Rev. Wright, or Obama's father's religion. We can bellow all day long about what Palin may or may not have had to do with the Alaska Independence Party, but you're totally out of line if you want to know what Obama may or may not have had to do with William Ayers. We absolutely should be outraged (OUTRAGED!) that Palin saw fit to have a state trooper (with a fondness for tasering minors) terminated, but feel free to dismiss any concerns you have over Obama's associations with Tony Rezko.Quote:

I don't know if it's funny or sad that you liberals have traded your sense of societal fairness for one of political convenience. A little bit of both, I suppose. When the proud Democrats of TNL (and elsewhere) make comments like "So what if Obama were a Muslim? What should that matter?" in one breath, and then proceed to berate Chrisitans and all they hold sacred in the next, it really makes me wonder if they even understand what "liberals" once purportedly stood for.
Yes, there is a double standard. But given the conduct of your ilk in this rather lengthy policital conversation, it's plainly evident that I could throw out examples until sunrise, but you wouldn't see it. You're venom and ignorance blind you. And I pity you for it.
A. Palin's religion matters as it matters in the way she would govern, she wants to ban abortion for example due to her religion. Who gives a fuck about Wright, mention him all you want, Obama has spoke out against the things he's said, so obviously it's not something that really matters though. As for Obama's father's religion, WTF does that matter at all? The man had next to nothing to do with his father, so why would his father's religion matter.Quote:

You try way too fucking hard, and it's getting fucking annoying. Would you like to spend some time defending Bush and Cheney next?
