Concern Troll Is Concerned
Shorter Megan McArdle:
- I warn you, liberals: Your outrageous and unprecedentedly barbaric attacks on Sarah Palin, which are deranged, are making me considerably less interested in voting for Barack Obama.
‘Shorter’ concept created by Daniel Davies and perfected by Elton Beard. We are aware of all Internet traditions.™

You forget to mention Megan also apparently believes Trig Palin is the son of Bristol, not Sarah.
And that Sarah lying in public, committing fraud with a birth certificate, and wearing a fat suit in public for months, are all noble deeds.

I agree with Megan. We need to stop mentioning the fact that abstinence-only, pro-teaching-of-creationism-in-schools advocate Sarah Palin’s daughter, 17-year old unmarried Bristol Myers Palin, is pregnant for perhaps the first or second time due to having had premarital sex with 17-year-old hockey goon and self-confessed “fucking redneck” Levi Strauss Johnston. It only hurts Obama’s chances in November. Really.

I wonder if David Brooks is over the Palin-induced migraine he no doubt had after McCain introduced his choice. What a shock it must have been for him, after blathering on at the Democratic Convention about how McCain really, really needed Joe Lieberman now, with Biden on the ticket. Why, to choose Holy Joe was McCain’s only chance!
I’ll bet Brooks sobbed into his pillow when he heard the news. “Why, oh why, do they never listen to me?” David cried, raining tears down onto his 450 thread count pillow slip.
I really like this image. I like it so much I don’t think I’m even going to check to see what he’s saying about Palin for reals.

Umm…because Spears is part of the liberal and immoral Hollywood elite and thus unworthy to even carry a child. Palin and her daughter are moral, spiritual salt-of-the-earth types whose morals are beyond reproach. You are simply demonstrating your ignorance by trying to compare the two, and besmirching the honor and virginal qualities of the Palin girl.

I just want to know:
How did the GOP find a power-abusing, secessionist, creationist, book-burning, pentecostal, abstinence promoting, governor who’s suing the US to have polar bears removed from the endangered species list and has with an unwed pregnant teenage daughter dating a guy named after the inventor of blue-jeans?

Because Spears is a broken child of the liberal and immoral Hollywood elite and thus worthy of scorn and disgrace. She is also unworthy of carrying a child. Conversely, Palin and Bristol are upstanding and spiritual salt-of-the-earth women whose morals are beyond reporach. Even trying to compare the two unwed, young women shows not only your ignorance, but your shamelessness as you are willing to resort to attacking Bristol Palin’s virginal innocence. Shame on you.

Is this serious? After all the lecturing by the right about how teaching young people about contraception and having them tell us — the nation — about how effective abstinence only and Christian-centered learning are more effective… It’s come down to stupid libertarians barking that ‘buh buh buh wayull you dum Dimcraps, no wun sed it wud be 100 pursint perfek…’
It’s like, how, after you lobby for years against the teaching of physics in high school, and prat about instead of the morality & effectiveness of a cartoon-based method of understanding mechanical motion, and then one day…

John McCain’s selection of Palin, which I first viewed with horror, could now be seen in a different light. Based on various television interviews over the Labor Day weekend — and a careful reading of the transcripts — it is possible that this is McCain’s attempt to make fools of his fellow Republicans. He has succeeded beyond all expectations.

Oh yeah, I remember 2006 now. My apologies, I am a little too fermented to sweat the details at the moment.
God I hate Lieberman.
But I think the thing to keep in mind about Palin.. She was supposed to be a “safe” choice. Yet, she has brought nothing but controversy. Mcain is trying to win this one by painting Obama as the risky option, and himself as the safe, middle of the road, reliable ol’ standby. Palin pisses all over that image, by making Mcain look like a man that makes poor decisions on the spur of the moment, and projecting the Palins controversy onto Mcain, and the whole Republican party.
She was supposed to be an unobjectionable running mate who would solidify the base, appeal to the religious nutters, and being female, be “mavericky” in a totally unchallenging way.
Instead, we have someone as flawed and laughable as Mcain himself.

Sarah Palin’s so-called “problems” are a bunch of LIE-brul lies. They only prove how ordinary she is. Most Americans have faced unwed children, proof of lying, pandering, etc.
But the REAL proof of just how in touch with the Heartland she is will be when she gets indicted on influence peddling and other governmental interference charges. That will probably make her the MOST ordinary VP candidate ever.
And one that every right-thinking American MUST embrace … or else they are poopyheads.
I’m not mentioning the polls this week because shut up that’s why.

Day 7-A random Sadlynaut wakes up,goes to the window,throws open the curtains to behold..1200lbs OF RAVENOUS CARNIVORE under the complete control of a Red commando!! It’ll be Berlin’45 all over again!No man,woman or daschund will be safe!

Under no circumstances should Sarah Palin be attacked PERSONALLY. She is 100% allowed to be who she is - it’s not her fault that she’s been picked - it’s John McCain’s.
She may have abused power in “Troopergate.”
She fired a Police Chief and Librarian for not supporting her. (The librarian was rehired the P.C. settled out of court.)
She didn’t teach her daughter about birth control (and if President would not want your daughter taught).
She’s anti-choice, even in the cases of rape and incest.
She and her husband were members of an Alaskan separatist party. The leader of which said: “The fires of Hell are glaciers compared to my hate for the American Government.”
She asked her librarian, “How do you ban books.”
Etc. etc.
The “Straight Talk Express” on John McCain’s campaign is clear and straightforward:
I, John McCain, am not fit to lead this great nation.

Under normal circumstances one would feel great pity for this maniac, but she’s also such an arrogant blowhard, and so completely unapologetic for all her intellectual dishonesty and sophistry, that mocking her is really, seriously, the only rational response necessary to all her nutty babbling.

“Well, you gotta start out small and work your way up to bigger things.
Palin started out by fucking-up the little town of Wasilla. Once she learned the basics of fucking-up, she moved up to begin fucking-up the state of Alaska. She’s only been at it for 18 months, but she’s shown some real aptitude for fuckitude. And now she’s royally fucked-up the McCain campaign, and she’s done it within just a few days. Certainly she has much more fuck-up experience than Obama, and it seems pretty clear to me that she’s more than ready to take on the task of fucking-up the entire nation.”

I just found out today that for most of her life she attended an Assembly of God church.
For those of you fortunate enough not to live in the bible belt and who are unfamiliar with the Assembly of God church, it’s basically Pentecostals who are allowed to cut their hair and wear pants and makeup.
My fondest hope is that she starts speaking in tongues at the VP debate.
