there's an art gallery at the end of my street (I know, hard to believe) with a current show of sculpture three-D stuff. One of the winners is titled "Sarah Palin as Kali" and it's fooking hilarious. Wish I knew how to post a pic....I'll try to find....BTW, it's the Rosewood Arts Gallery, Kettering, OHIO. HWD is the name of the show.

eta_ nope, can't find a pic. was really cute. she had an AK in one hand, a spear in the other, a couple shields in other hands...you get the picture.

To simplify the previous post. From that Weekly Standard reporter who knew Palin before she was selected. She did not represent your extreme right wing politics. She is now preaching that party line because those are her only supporters. She is learning how to be political - less honest. We know who Palin was before she was selected by Steve Schmitt - a right wing extremist. Even her book discusses the right wingers accusing her of going rogue. She had a bad habit of saying what she believed; not the campaign rhetoric. Why would you support her because she is learning how to be more political? Spinning a political line that is more extremist because that is where her only political support lies.

They also need to separate themselves from the Christian Right. The stench of theocracy puts off a lot of us middle of the roaders who would otherwise be able to consider a Republican.

Another "real American" star has waded into the sarah-fest:
Quote:
Forever a part of American electoral history, Joe Wurzelbacher--better known as "Joe the Plumber".....

In a wide-ranging interview with E&P, Wurzelbacher also shared his thoughts on Sarah Palin (he hopes she doesn't run for president in 2012).... He also called President Obama's ideology "unAmerican.

..."I hope she doesn't (run) because I think she could do a lot for America outside of office," Wurzelbacher said. "And I think she could rally Americans to get together and make some changes from the grassroots level. I think she could be an incredible rallying point, and I think that's where she could serve America best."...

...In her memoir "Going Rogue," released Tuesday, Palin writes of Wurzelbacher, "Joe the Plumber reminded me personally of those Country Kitchen guys I'd sat with on Friday mornings in Wasilla when I was mayor. I liked him."

Asked what he thought of the compliment, Wurzelbacher said, "That's pretty cool. I'm glad she liked me because the feeling was very mutual."

Amen, the Christian Right is a bigger danger to us/US than all the Islamic countries put together.

Ahhh, "UnAmerican". The criticism you use when you don't have a coherent criticism. UnAustralian works almost as well, but we get to use "Anti-American" too.

Please explain how it is in any way similar.

If Joe believes Obama's ideology is "unAmerican" that must make Joe a better American than Obama supporters who share that ideology.

It really isnt that easy to run away from your ignorant and offensive Pelosi/Nazi characterization.. one that you appear to take great pride in.

If Pelosi thinks that Americans who don't support her views and are willing to stand up and say so in public are Nazi's it is the same thing.

Does it bother you that I like to call Pelosi a Nazi?:p

I'm going to have to photoshop a picture of her in an SS uniform just for you.

Nope...it doesnt bother me that you come across as ignorant when you gloat and make that type of characterization.
