In reply to And Now It's Time To Play Conspiracy Theory With Sarah Palin
Pfailin and her many, many followers make me despair for the intelligence of my fellow Americans on the right. It's one thing for this obvious lunatic to be ranting and raving like this, but quite another for her to have such a large following of people who co-sign the ignorance she spews. I wonder what they're so afraid of. Perhaps it's the slow but steady dissipation of their party's and churchs' influence and the realization that people who don't believe as they do are running the show now? Welcome to our nightmare, nutjobs, now you see what the last 8 years have been like for the folks on the left. #sarahpalin

Does anyone else find Sarah Palin's virulent opposition to abortion a tad ironic? Because in my opinion, her existence is the strongest argument for abortion. #sarahpalin

I love how almost 10,000 people on facebook have already "liked" this and how almost all of the 3,000+ comments read like "keep up the good work Sarah! show those dems who's the boss!" and "God bless you and your work. Our fair country needs more people like you in office!" Ugh. This is childish but my favorite comment is "you needed a good ramming, B" #sarahpalin

@JessickerFletcher: This comment wins my coveted "Conservative Crazy Award"

"It is completely apparent now that our elected officials don't give a tinkers damn what their consituents want. That they would foist this monstrosity on us despite the public outcry against it is almost unimaginable. I hope that there will be many more, larger marches on Washington and that common sense and reason will prevail. But, if last night was any indication, common sense and reason left Washington a long time ago. It is time to clean house (both White and Congressional) and the Senate. I fear that some Repubs are even in on the Dems little scheme, so they too must be weeded out and destroyed. It is time to find the truly conservative and fiscally responsible candidates and back them hard. It will not be easy as there will be much opposition from the Dem machine and their cohorts in crime. But it MUST be done to save this country and our freedoms. God Bless America and God Bless Sarah Palin."

Ha, "tinkers damn" what will those folksy rednecks think up next?

My favorite conspiracy theory is that Bart Stupak had big plans to party hard on Saturday night and Nancy Pelosi wanted to ruin them. Well played Madam Speaker. #sarahpalin

'Conspiracy Talk with Sarah Palin' sounds like a great idea for a TV pilot... provided that it's framed as humor and anyone who takes anything said on the show seriously is promptly shocked. I'm already writing the theme music in my head. #sarahpalin

@argle-bargle? or fou-ferraw?: I'd take it, fully sketched so it couldn't be stolen, to the Stewart-Colbert people if I were you. And mention that, unlike Wanda's show, they're not so progressive that they have a woman on main writing staff yet. #sarahpalin

I really hate her Political Performance Art a lot. Does she not realize her installation into VP-nominee position was arguably a stunt in the first place, and if she gets too far out on Limb Crazy the Rethugs are going to dump her just like they did Larry What's-His-Face who got busted soliciting (all right, is it still allegedly soliciting?) in that bathroom?

@Rooo sez BISH PLZ: I don't think they're ever going to drop her. Because like all their biggest players, she is ABSOLUTELY CONVINCED that she's right. That's the scariest part. She isn't just doing this for entertainment value or publicity. She's so fucking sure that she is right about everything that she will not drop it even if it looks like she's going to lose followers.

That is the kind of true believers most political movements have to grow in vats and brainwash from birth to get. Sarah Palin will never be dropped. We'll be hearing from her till we're all old and crusty. #sarahpalin

Now guys, she's right. It's hard to read 2,000 pages of legislation when you're already reading every newspaper in the country. #sarahpalin

Sarah, just because you admittedly thought about aborting your "not perfect" baby, that doesn't necessarily mean that that is the only reason people think about abortion... #sarahpalin

Sarah Palin's only purpose to draw the true believers of the paranoid wing of the Republican Party. And she's doing an excellent job. It is the job of the sane and rational to ensure that these people never elect a national candidate. I am so ready for her and her cabal of myopic followers. I hope everyone else is, too. #sarahpalin

I have to say, that is pretty clever of her speech writers. To suggest that making sure women have reproductive rights is actually INSULTING to women, suggesting they are stupid or not strong, that means that pro-lifers can claim they are feminists that actually respect women. Repulsive, but very clever. #sarahpalin

i don't get how the elderly will be targeted for euthanasia should a government-backed healthcare plan kick in. i thought the majority of elderly are already in medicare, which is a government-backed healthcare plan?

what saddens me the most is that so many people are too stupid to connect the dots in this simple way: elderly=medicare=government healthcare. #sarahpalin

In reply to Sarah Palin Warns Of Pro-Choice "Mind-Set"
This rhetoric makes me livid because it's flat out lying...and for whatever reason, it works.

And I'm so frustrated because it's almost impossible to convince anyone who thinks being Pro-Choice is anything like what she's saying that it's not. It's the polar opposite.

I absolutely do believe women are capable of doing those things, as long as there's a system in place that helps make that possible. But I also believe no woman should be forced to carry to term. Because I wouldn't want anyone to be forced to abort. Is that so hard to understand? That choice is about ALL of this? It's about being able to have an "imperfect" child without having to suffer for it? About not being forced to, but being able to choose to?

And to be frank, life at any cost is not, in my opinion, always the most compassionate view. There are birth defects, deformities, and congenital conditions that it is in every way a compassionate decision to terminate.
People can choose not to, but I'm tired of the idea that Pro-Choice is some kind of callous position.

Further, I want our elderly folks to be cared for. I'm sickened by the way we abandon them and are so afraid of that stage of life that we just shuffle off the responsibility. Being Pro-Choice hasn't hampered my ability to understand all the ethical nuances in both situations. And I'm disgusted that this woman would make such a suggestion.

It's just so wrong to to say these things. So wrong and awful and destructive. #sarahpalin

@tiredfairy: Right on to everything you said. Especially the point about how terminating a pregnancy can actually be the compassionate, ethical choice sometimes. #sarahpalin

@Cerridwen: I'm just so tired of it. And I am Pro-Choice, fully, no matter what. I don't believe it's any of my business why someone would need to terminate a pregnancy, because I sure wouldn't want someone deciding that for me.

I just can't fathom equating one with the other. Being Pro-Choice doesn't make you inhuman or unethical or not compassionate. I'd actually argue that, because being Pro-Choice requires taking a much more difficult political position...and because advocating for choices will always be advocating for something technically more difficult than having things required/dictated of you...then you're more likely to be compassionate and ethical and understanding of nuance. Because you have to be. That's pretty much the nature of choice, in any circumstance. #sarahpalin
