You have to give her points for being opposed to aborting gay fetuses, even if conceived via rape.

Surgically, maybe…but how does anyone know she doesn’t try to pray them away?

What year is this?!

Her pastor is a witchhunter. He made his name in the church by identifying and persecuting a witch. A witch.

What fucking century is this?

In a surpris emove Mrs Palin said that “what I really meant is that shooting Gays from airplanes is wasteful” Gov. Palin could not name three actual airplane types, however said that she “had seen plenty, you know, buzzing around, in the sky. John McCain used to fly one before he got tied to a kitchen table”.

chocolatepie, please tell me she at least got drunk on prom night and died in an auto crash on a deserted highway…alone.
I need to believe there’s a happy ending to that story.

Gay friend?

Don’t forget, Sarah’s a politician and her lesbian “friend” is a potential vote.

So being a progressive is s simple matter of not being in favor of millions of children dying of a horrible, wasting disease, or their parents dying of same!

Yeah, well, unfortunately, that is indeed enough to get you scornfully labeled a “liberal” in many fundamentalist churches. The children are below the age of consent, automatically qualifying them for heaven after their excruciating illness finally kills them, so where’s the harm?

I point you to Sara Benincasa’s video in which her Sarah Palin attempts to pray away the gay of her gay friend.

“It’s OK,” he’ll say. “I voted for Sarah Palin and she has a gay friend for me.”

Representative democracy in action!

This reminds me of an exchange between junior high/high school classmates of mine. One of them, let’s call her Sally, was an ultra-right born-again Christian (actual quote on a Holocaust survivor who pretended to be Christian to avoid getting killed: “How dare she defile an entire religion like that”), said to Jacob, a Jew (and as close to friends as you can be with someone who thinks that way),

“You know, Jake, you’re such a nice guy. I really hope you see the light because I’d hate to see someone like you go to hell.”

I’m a big fan of straight white folks telling oppressed minorities what they should be grateful for. Not at all demeaning, patronizing, infuriating, or pathetic.

How could you, Clif?! Don’t you know that this man once voted against Harold Ford because of his anti-gay rhetoric? Of course he knows what he’s talking about when he says that Sarah Palin is progressive on gay issues!

How much of a self-loathing ~~lesbian~~ human being would you have to have to befriend Sarah Palin?

By: Bagelsan

Bagelsan — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 17:16:12 +0000

Palin: Hello my dear Lesbian Friend! How are you today?!

Woman: Look, lady, I don’t know who you are but you need to stop calling me. Seriously, this is stalking. And I already told you, having “Gay” as my last name does *not* actually mean I’m gay.

Palin: Hey, omg! Do you know Ellen?!

Woman: *click*

Where I am in East Lobsterpound, the “gay community” (AFAIK) consists of two old gentlemen for whom I do occasional gardening. They’re diehard Republicans. Haven’t seen them since Palin came on the scene, so I have no clue what they think of her. Hafta go dig out their dahlias for winter storage one day soon. Perhaps I’ll ask. If it’s still relevant at that point.

RB, I’ve always thought of you as a friend.

As you burn in agony I’ll wave to you from heaven.
