It's unavoidable when folks make bogus claims, I guess, but it doesn't make the claims any less bogus.

You are so flipping blinded by your hatred of this woman that you can't even see what she stands for? She's all the things liberals hate. Pro-life, leave sex ed to parents; it's not the government's job, America should explore drilling here, global warming isn't man-made. And, worst of all, she believes in God and doesn't believe that teachers should be forbidden to discuss creationism if a student brings it up first. How dare she not agree with the Religion of Darwin? She's a registered Republican who, as I recall, was grilled on such matters while a VP nominee. Have you been living under a rock or held hostage by Jane Fonda not to be aware of these things?

Mr. King and Ms. Bug,
Why do you think people hate Ms. Palin. People are laughing at her, not hating her. Although all politicians are narcissists, Palin takes the cake by posing for a picture that rather demurely shows a small amount of thigh hidden by black tights, then claiming that its use is sexual exploitation.

Palin tells so many lies in her new book, it's difficult for reviewers to keep up. And when she's called on it, she lies about the lies. As Tbomb said…..Democrats, liberals, will be happy if she runs for president.

Just as crooked Republican politicians have hoodwinked vulnerable dunderheads of the culture wars in the past for their own selfish purposes…..so too Sarah Palin. She's cashing in while her celebrity is hot, knowing that she doesn't have the gravitias to lead in public office…..and ignorant and clueless conservatives are dead serious that she is a serious player.

It would all be good fodder for a few laughs…..except for the nuts who actually take her seriously.

And King…when you title a blog post "attention haters"…don't forget to include the TeaBaggers and the GOP, the most hateful among us today.

Tory…..Palin is an entertainer, an opportunist,…. not a politician. She proved that by quitting her governorship. If Sarah has viewpoints, it's news to the rest of us. If, indeed, she had viewpoints to critique……then liberals, like myself, would be doing so. But she doesn't have any. So we can't.

in the case of republican Senator David "Diaper Dave" Vitter, we shouldn't be concerned that he frequented prostitutes or we shouldn't be concerned that he wore diapers when he did?

It really cracks me up, too, because she's actually every liberal/feminist's wet dream. She's been a successful politician, raising a family of 5 kids (one of whom has Down's). She seems to have figured out how to balance the best of both worlds in her life. But she's a conservative who refused to abort her child when she found out he wasn't perfect. She lives by her conservative/religious principles. I know, how dare she? I think that's what pisses the liberals off the most about her. She's everything that they're pushing women to be but doesn't share their values. That's the reason people here are attacking her, they're just somehow incapable of vocalizing that.

Usually, when you attack a politician, you attack their viewpoints. Instead, the liberals in the media are attacking her as a person. Why? I know that the conservatives have done the same thing to liberal women in the past. Hillary Clinton, for example. I have negative feelings about her, but because she supports things I oppose. I don't care if her husband is a serial philanderer, if she's a closet lesbian, etc. That stuff doesn't figure into the equation for me, and it shouldn't for anyone when judging a politician.

"But last night on Fox, the network’s top legal analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano — who has been known to disagree with Fox’s right-wing narratives on legal issues — disputed that view, citing the constitutional right to be tried in the place where the crime has been committed. “I don’t care about the Constitution!” host Bill O’Reilly responded. The debate continued:

O’REILLY: So why is he entitled to come to New York City to be tried in the civilian criminal court if he’s arrested in Pakistan?

NAPOLITANO: Because the document you don’t want me to talk about says when the government is going to prosecute you, it must do so in the place where the alleged harm was caused."

Fox News's Bill O'Rielly sez….." “I don’t care about the Constitution!”

what are we to make of that? I see that as a very un-American and very un-patriotic remark. King, is this how all you republicans think?

did you see the story about the college exchange student charged with murder in Italy? Since she's a U.S. citizen, are her rights the ones guarenteed under the U.S. Constitution or are her rights governed by Italian law?

just asking

just saying

I must admit is nice hearing someone speak without ivy-league dialect or politically-correct rhetoric. Still haven't heard a rational reason from those who hate her, as to what formulates their opinions.
Women represent a demographic that the democrats are fearful of losing and therefore there is no choice but to attack. They continue to prop up Wasserman, Pelosi, Sebelius, and others as a role model for all women………………………but most Americans reflect upon their mothers as the mold for that model. We can envision Sarah living our lifestyle, but I have a hard time seeing these other crazies baking cookies for their kids and blending in with the down-to-earth crowds.

Not a big fan of scorned women gone feminist, and I'm not sure many are. Here lies the problem as the "pant-suit" brigade bigs out their big guns.

I say SS is overfunded because it takes in more than it pays out, as it has for well over 25 years. Is there any other definition? Our dispute over SS is whether the surplus accumulated and used to purchase T bills is real. You claim that T bills are worthless, which is belied by the fact that they are still bought and sold. I say that if (and they may one day) they become worthless then not only will SS be insolvent, it will be a small part of the much larger crisis of government default. However, if you still think T bills are worthless, please connect me with anyone giving them away. You were wrong when I gave up trying to convince you and you are still wrong about SS.

Defense spending may be second to other entitlements, but at 44% of expenditures, it is not a very distant second. It is roughly where it was when we faced the very real and existential threat during the Cold War. Where is the existential threat today? The closest is China, and they are being underwritten by our insane trade policies. Our enemy du jour, Al Qaeda, was able to penetrate our Trillion dollar defense system with 8 men armed with boxcutters who even trained to carry out their mission in this country. Despite our expenditures, we cannot be sure of who or what enters our country and obvious targets for terror remain unprotected. One might ask if there were any social program that spent so much and failed so miserably, but the truth is that the entitlement called Defense has little to do with the defense of the country and its people. That would not require the crippling amounts we spend. The major portion of what we call defense expenditures is really better understood as empire maintenance. History shows that these costs eventually become untenable, causing the downfall of all empires. It is happening to us.

But we already knew that.

Hello ? Why do think Obama was elected ? He had more likeable bs than the other guy. It certainly wasn't because of his non-existent qualifications.

Oh yes, your evidence is…. made up out of thin air. This thread is about whether or not to try KSM and company in NYC or not.

D-U-H.

But your "neo-con" "anti-american" "bullpuck" "humiliating" "disgraces" "authoritarian rogue" "rubber stamp" "propaganda" "non-stop lyihg" "secrecy" "fearmongering" "criminals" "Orwellian" "faith-based"…
BULLSH*T is the next best thing to a rational argument.

Neo-cons do not have any faith in the American system. That's why they have insisted, and in some cases been successful in getting their anti-American way, by saying… "everything has changed" since 9-11. Total bullpuck. The Patriot Act, the Eavesdropping on Americans Act, the Resolution to Attack Iraq Act are all humiliatingly non-American disgraces. Guantanamo, torture, special judicial trials….are all actions of an authoritarian rogue regime that no longer trusts in the American way.

Bush/Cheney and the Rubber Stamp Republicans in Congress committed massive fraud, war crimes, perennial propaganda and non-stop lying and secrecy over the last 8 years, fearmongering at every turn. Those who still embrace those criminals as Serious Leaders are the same ones who continue to spout the Orwellian slogans and faith-based ideology that Karl Rove loves so much.
