I just made the mistake of reading comments on foxnews, there are people who are eating this shit up. they do not care that it is a misquote, that it is self contadictory(did she support albright, did the crowd that saw it by booing albright? are the women in that crowd going to hell?
Did Palin support hillary? no.)
they are so desperate to keep the polls hovering around the 50/50 or so mark so that when they steal the election they can point to 50% of the country and say look, there are enough stupid people to make this believable.
and why do most of her outfits look like some Theo-Nazi fashion statement? her expensive glasses and her starbucks habit(why did she not tell couric the truth about that, she reads starbucks cups in the morning)sure appeal to me, a pickup driving farm country redneckish PBR drinking guy. so glad that I won't go to hell for not supporting palin because I can point at my dick and say, "its ok for me".
Good thing I lived in Arizona for so long. It was good practice for what lies ahead for me.
I'm amazed that someone who claims to be a Christian is so casual in judging people--even if she is misquoting someone else. How dare she be so arrogant to presume she knows God's judgment and think God would favor her. Correct me if this Muslim girl is wrong, but isn't pride one of the seven deadly sins?
I'll step off my soap box now.
wow.
i can't even imagine one of our candidates saying that everyone who doesn't vote for him/her will be going to hell. having the US and Canadian federal election at almost the exact same time (debates were on the same night last week... we had 5 party leaders present) has been incredibly illuminating about some of the differences between our countries and systems.
by the way, i realize that this contrast is only interesting to canadians; the slave always needs to know more about the master than vice versa.
it's like watching gidget goes campaigning.
And the current incarnation of Christianity is nothing but bullyism dressed up as compassion.
When I heard about this, the first thing I thought was 'who told her who Madeleine Albright was?' Then I looked up the whole quote.
It was a starbucks cup. Seriously.
And an even more special place in hell for small town Queen Bee's who piss off Jesus by constantly bugging him for inane crap.
Follow-up comment - she would have been around 19-20 when Mondale ran with Ferraro - how did she vote then?
oh, and may i please point out the context of Madeline Albright's original quote? Albright made this statement during a speech advocating the declaration of rape as a war crime. (fourth paragraph, last sentence: http://www.oxfordstudent.com/mt2003wk3/Comment/madam_secretary)
my head is about to explode from the fucking irony. in other news, love the site, Chez, great work.
I do support other women. I support the other women of this country and that's why I'm not voting for McCain-Palin.
See, you can take it in any context you want. Now I'm not going to hell, whoopee!
This woman is so dumb she makes my head hurt.
Can we please, please send her smarmy ass back to Alaska? (with apologies to Alaska)
Damn. Palin may be running behind in the presidential campaign, but she's doing great in the race for Most Horrible Person of the Year. Ironically, though, her strongest competition there is her own running mate.
Is there a special place in hell for women who make other women pay for their own rape kits?
Best response yet, Anon 1:51.
