Okay that video literally made me sick to my stomach. Using these suffering children as a back drop to push forward Franklin's version of Christan propaganda is horrific, and I don't think I have seen the Grizzled Mama look so uncomfortable since last week's "hunting" episode of SPA when her daddy kept handing her that loaded "killing stick" over and over again. ("Will it kick?")
Did Palin actually refer to Samaritan's Purse as an "efficient organization?"
From the Guardian:
Samaritan's Purse has been accused during other humanitarian crises of putting its evangelical mission ahead of more tangible assistance to those in need. The organisation raises large sums of money from US Christians but the proceeds are not always visible on the ground.
During the 1994 Rwandan refugee crisis, Samaritan's Purse was criticised by other aid organisations for spending large amounts on luxury accommodation for its staff and providing only minimal assistance as tens of thousands of people died of cholera. That assistance principally consisted of sending stretcher bearers to carry the sick for treatment as a third person ran alongside the victim reading passages from the Bible.
In 2001, Samaritan's Purse was scorned for requiring victims of El Salvador's earthquake to attend prayer meetings before they could receive aid.
Knowing Palin the way I do, I believe this is the ONLY kind of charity organization she would be connected to. You know, one that hides their REAL agenda behind philanthropic activities.
There was another interesting observation made in this Guardian article concerning Samaritan's Purse as well:
It declined to reveal her itinerary and told reporters to leave its compound in Haiti before the former Alaska governor's arrival, saying it was under a "security lockdown".
Really? A "security lockdown?" The only threat to Palin posed by reporters is the threat that she will be revealed as a giant phony, or that somebody will photograph her daughter from an unflattering angle. This idea that Sarah Palin is putting herself at risk is just to keep her minions in a lather as they constantly worry about her safety.
Update: I guess even Sarah could not keep ALL unflattering pictures from seeing the light of day.
(H/T to both Sharon and Facebook Lurker for the pics.)
Just a Ho.
ReplyDeleteSarah, I can see your desperation.
ReplyDeleteYeah right!!!
I don't see discomfort in her behavior. It's good that she's bringing the attention to the circumstances. It also brings out all the pathetic losers who cant help but cast shadows over good deeds. Good Americans remain int he middle and dont get bogged down in the mindless comments made by bored, angry, vile anonymous idiots
ReplyDeleteWhat a bunch of bull crap. Sarah Palin, in her attempt to slam the President for golfing, said she was too busy with her "causes" and such. Now she has an official "cause". I refuse to donate to any aid organization that proselytizes as part of its assistance to people who have been devastated by manmade or natural disasters. If you want to help Haitians donate to Doctors Without Borders. There are also groups that collect items for the people of Haiti free of religious clap trap. Research before you donate. And Sarah Palin, shut your mouth. Hope you do run in 2012 - I would love to see how much of your wealth gets donated to aid organizations.
ReplyDeletegah.........
ReplyDeleteAs someone said on an earlier thread..
Jesus wept.
This is what is meant by taking the Lord's name in vain.
Just another ad shoot to get her gullible followers to donate more to fund the pamphlets and luxury digs for management to run this shame of an aid organization.
ReplyDeleteWhile we know Scarah doesn't want to talk to any real Press maybe they were also scared that the Press might pick up on some of the other shenanigans of this "charity".
I'm not a believer and normally don't care what people believe, but this makes me angry. These repulsive people are using sick and starving people to make themselves look "moral". If hell existed, they would end up there along with Franklin's anti-semite father, Billy.
ReplyDeleteAnon@8:18 said "...the mindless comments made by bored, angry, vile anonymous idiots." Like you? Do you know anything about Samaritan's Purse? Do some research before you slam other people for their skepticism.
ReplyDeleteYes, Bristol looks knocked up
ReplyDeleteThis is all about Kate. Kate makes her appearance tonight. Haiti is a ¨limp and impotent¨ preemptive damage control failure. Kate will appear tonight. That bell will be rung.
ReplyDeleteIs Franklin still piddling sarah? How far along is Bristol? Is Todd on oxy or meth or both? All that will magically be forgotten when the world sees Kate.
Say what you will, but Kate is far better looking and more photogenic than sarah. The old goats will notice.
Compared to sarah, Kate is a babe. Kate has delivered more children than sarah. Kate looks healthier than sarah. These are important things to the bots. They will notice.
Kate, Kate, Kate.
Too late, sarah. You cannot stop it now. Kate is coming.
Bristol DOES look maternal in these pics.
ReplyDeleteThese evangentials are the same ones who tripped on over to Uganda and gay bashed. Now Uganda has declared open season on gays and they are in hiding or being killed. It just figures Palin would hang out with elitist Xtians like the Graham asshole. A special level in Dante's hell is being prepared for those like this pair of pea brained grifters.
ReplyDeleteThe photo of Brisket reminds you of Jaws (the movie): You're gonna need a bigger scarf!
ReplyDeleteHaitian kids don't need a shoebox full of trinket gifts. Shame on Samaritans Purse for not knowing how to do the work of Christ through real work and social justice like Jesus did himself. Pandering to their supporters for funds so they can fly on a Learjet with the likes of SP is NOT what He would endorse. Pimping themselves out so they can get attention by USING the likes of SP...did you notice Cissie started on FB and Twitter days before this...she knew SP and team would bring her fans...they are using SP just like she's using them.
ReplyDeleteThis is one huge "get more supporters" trip...for both camps. MAKES ME SICK!
Gryphen and readers...please don't judge other Christians based on these people...they do not represent all Christians.
The tide really HAS turned on public opinion for Sarah - now even the more moderate fans are trolling. Do you think they understand the pull of sites like this one? Deep down they must know something's rotten. They come here and defend her, but why? Why else would they be here in the first place unless they had their doubts and wanted to take a peek at the "other side"?
ReplyDeleteEvery troll comment I see here is s sure sign of a doubter, which restores my faith in people to finally recognize BS
I waver on this. In some pics she look pregnant but not in all. Also, if she were pregnant wouldn't she have really "popped" by now? I see that pic of her with Sherri Shepherd on The View and I think, "Wow!" and then I see her looking smaller in others. I am still on the fence.
ReplyDeleteThe rumors are out there, though. My 20 year-old daughter who doesn't watch DWTS or follow Palin blogs has heard the PG rumors through word-of-mouth among her friends. People are definitely watching for what comes next for Bristol and it seems like she hasn't built up any good will with kids her own age.
My daughter and her friends think she is dull, petulant and has only gotten all this attention because she's Sarah Palin's kid who got knocked up.
If she were gracious about the opportunities she's had they might feel differently but she comes off as a professional victim like her mom.
These scumbags come off like they are on a trip to a zoo and they are observing a sick resident. I can't believe our country is going to tolerate this. Fox is making up the "news", someone will get a "documentary" to exhalt the virtues of you know who and Rebecca will have more to write. The Haitians don't know Palin's name and why would they after this? The lady in the Skinny Raven casual attire. Is Skinny Raven donating shoes to all the children until they have jobs? Or are they just greedy and soaking up the product placement?
ReplyDeleteThere was a warning about unnecessary traveling. Who is paying for the security and what is this extravaganza costing? Helicopters aren't cheap and they must have had a huge Fox staff along. Who pays? Fox? It's not coming out of Graham's personal fortune. Sam Purse operates with a tax exemption. We pay our taxes and make up for these charlatans. There is nothing Christian or charitble about fat cats as hefty as the Grahams. It is a racket. Truly good samaritans work without scaring others about going to hell without their belief system, decent people can work without an extreme right camera crew and all the glory and lies.
Palin may want to curry favor with the black evangelist voters. Some say this is an attempt at a foreign policy look. If suddenly the last minute you can go to Haiti and may be Britain and say you have foreign policy experience. As absurd as that sounds, it is Palin and it could be how her puppetmasters think.
I think Sarah is one of those people who think if she just talks louder to people who don't speak English, they'll get it.
ReplyDeleteUncomfortable doesn't even begin to cover it. Compare her to our First Lady, who demonstrates an easy, NATURAL love for children.
Anon 8:18
ReplyDelete"If you want to help Haitians donate to Doctors Without Borders."
What you said.

These are the true front line fighters in medical disaster. And mot large disasters have an medical component from injury, starvation nd disease.
Is it just me or doesn't it look like Sara goes from an A cup to a C and back again in that video.
ReplyDeleteGetting off the helicopter and in the shot seated on the bench, flat chested, then about half way thorough the video in a close up interview, instabreasts.
In the holding babies scene Bristol's face looks like she finds that unpleasant. The other girl looks more seasoned at playing this role.
ReplyDeleteWhat is John Coale looking at in the picture where they are lined up and sitting on a bench?
Certainly agree, Anon@8:13 AM.
ReplyDeleteThe Samaritan's Purse blog post "Daughters Doing Their Part" has a photo of the Graham girl holding up an undiapered baby.
ReplyDeleteThat's great. Really great endorsement of mitigating the problem of infectious diseases.
Certainly agree, Anon@8:13 AM.
ReplyDeleteTo Anonymous at 8:18, explain to me why a "good" American like you also signs your comments "Anonymous". I don't think Gryphen is going to send any of his minions after you...right Jesse?
ReplyDeleteAnon 8:18- if she wanted to bring attention to the circumstances why is this coming out of the blue all of a sudden; why not sponsor a money drive for you go? why not allow other news org. to film you to bring more attention to the cause? Exactly what good deed is she doing besides getting her face in the news? What is SHE doing to help? What are Todd and Bristol doing to help? Greta and her husband? the whole thing screams PHOTO OP!
ReplyDeleteThey always seem to misspell "insecurity".
ReplyDeleteThey'd better leave soon before they need a "wild ride" to drop another fish picker.
I think her plan is to have Bristol "adopt" a baby on some mission such as this.
ReplyDeleteDon't knock any charity organization that does good in the world. The good ALWAYS outweighs the "bad"
ReplyDeleteJealousy isn't becoming
How many times was Samaritan's Purse mentioned? How much did she talk about the plight of the people she has come to visit? This was no more than a photo op and commercial for Graham. And btw, BP hold babies in the same awkward, uncomfortable way as her mother.
ReplyDeleteWow, the more you mock Sarah, the more you prove you don't know ANYTHING about her. Keep at it old man. You look ridiculous to those of us who have hearts
ReplyDeleteDid you see the pics of Sarah with Bristol from today? BRistol's just pleasantly plump.
ReplyDeletewow. that photo of Bristol holding the baby makes her look wayyyyy pregnant. Look at her belly. Definitely.
ReplyDeleteThe only people Sarah Palin makes aware of Haiti are the people that are behind the times or don't know or don't like Haiti. The few ignoramuses she will inform will be fair weather friends to Haiti or join a bunch of charlatans. Cults go along with what their leaders say, that can be give to Haiti this week and not give next. They are not about learning from the past and doing something about the aid that is held up in Washington. It is about transferring power to the faith based movement that pays for salaries like Grahams. Sarah Palin is not up to speed on Haiti at all and is in no way equipped to pose as an activist or act as if this is what humanitarian is. If you send $100 to Samaritans Purse how much do you think will actually go to helping meet the needs of the people? These organizations are con artists and performers. There is no transparency, much of their operation is in secret.
ReplyDeleteBristol learned to dance and now she is learning how to look like a do gooder and activist. That is not a real humanitarian or activist. It is a two day promotion for wealthy white people.
8:18 AM you only say "good deeds" because that is how you are conditioned. These are posed and contrived photos. Show us the actual good deeds. How much do you think it cost to transport everyone by helicopter? Spending millions to set up this cast of characters in a third world setting and having them pose while they touch and hold babies is a good deed?
Sure looks like a six-months belly to me - what do I know?
ReplyDeleteI've only carried to term twice.
It is delicious waiting to find out what the excuses are on this one.
Wonder if Candies has cancelled her contract yet.
8:18 - the "circumstances" don't need attention. Everyone knows Haiti was is in a shambles, that people are dying and their government sorely inadequate to the task of helping their citizens and rebuilding.
ReplyDeleteAid organizations from all over the world have been there prior to and since the hurricane which happened, by the way, around a year ago!
Sarah seems to have just discovered the problem. Samaritan's Purse has long had a poor reputation amongst charities. It is headed by a vain, greedy man who looks after his own comfort rather than those who are suffering. Do some research, kiddo.
"Good" Americans care and because they care they research organizations and won't stand for flimflam artists such as Franklin Graham who use faith as a cover for their own sense of power and quest for wealth.
That Sarah has affiliated herself with Franklin Graham speaks to her shallow approach to problem solving and inability to do the hard work it takes to ferret out the truth.
"Good" Americans make sure that the help they send is really helping - not just a setup for photo ops. They do not hesitate to call out crooks for what they are.
"The good ALWAYS outweighs the "bad""
ReplyDeleteand I suppose you say the same thing about hamas?
I did some volunteer work yesterday, like I do every month. Usually, I just do it because it makes me feel good to help others.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm wondering though, should I call my local TV station and have them send out a camera crew???? I mean, what good is volunteering if no one knows you're doing it, right?
Sarah Palin endorsed Joe Miller. Do we really trust her to endorse a charity, especially one whose president does personal favors for her?
ReplyDeleteThe Better Business Bureau's charity review, Sept 2010: "Samaritan's Purse (SP) does not meet the following 3 Standards for Charity Accountability."
Standard 4: Compensated Board Members
* The paid chief executive officer also serves as the chair of the board of directors.
* 3 out of 22 (14%) board members are compensated directly.
Standard 12: The organization's functional breakdown of expenses did not include all of its major program categories.
Standard 16: Annual Report
SP does not meet this standard because the most recent annual report did not include:
* Total income.
* Total expenses for each program in the same categories that appear in the organization’s financial statements.
* Total fund raising expenses.
* Total administrative expenses.
* Total end of year net assets.
In addition, the BBB Wise Giving Alliance requested but did not receive complete information on the organization’s governance and oversight, effectiveness measures, finances, solicitation materials, donor privacy, and fundraising disclosures and is unable to verify the organization's compliance with the following 11 Standards for Charity Accountability: 1, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 13, 14, 15, 18, and 19."

We don't need Sarah Palin 2.0. Please ignore Bristol.
ReplyDelete"You look ridiculous to those of us who have hearts"
ReplyDeleteit can easily be said that those who have hearts wouldn't support the FRAUD that is sarah palin.
when has she ever said one word about the plight of the people of haiti? NEVER once more NEVER
so why now?
you see, if palin really did do some good in the past 2 years, if she actually talked about helping others, and demonstrated through her actions that she cares about helping others, then her trip to haiti might be believable as a humanitarian trip. but she hasn't done shit. nada. not a damn thing. but people are expected to all-of-a-sudden say "oh wow, sarah palin really does care!" give me a fucking break.
9:02 - Samaritan's Purse isn't doing "good works" for the poor and the suffering. It exists to do good for Franklin Graham. Period. Research, research, research.
ReplyDeleteNo one is jealous of Graham or Samaritan's Purse here - we are angry at the deception, the way pretense,the misuse of good intentions for selfish ends.
ANYONE Who can tell me that Bristol is not pregnant is out of their freaking mind. Head down to your nearest drug store and get the highest strength readers they have, because not only are you stupid, but you're blind as a bat.
ReplyDeleteAlso, do control and the + sign to enlarge. That baby is resting on Bristol's round belly, probably making her fetus kick.
Maybe Bristol is using a water belly like her mom uses a water bra. She certainly looks undeniably pregnant in these photos.
ReplyDeleteWhy Sarah would endanger the child Bristol may be carrying by exposing her to unsanitary conditions, disease, and possible violence is beyond me? But then, none of us would vote Sarah Palin to be Mother of the Year (even for the Week).
-- Don't knock any charity organization that does good in the world. The good ALWAYS outweighs the "bad" --
ReplyDeleteThey aren't demonstrating their good. They talk and they pose for photos and they collect money. They live off the gullible and unfortunate ones. They are self serving, what is so good about that? Any group of people that tell you everyone goes to hell if they don't follow their way while using the name of Jesus is rotten to the core. They use fear to control others. It is sick and wrong no matter how you slice it.
If these type of charity organizations would give up their elite tax status and show us their good deeds I would have more respect for them.

ReplyDeleteCognitive dissonance hurt much?
Excerpts from a Charlotte Observer article, Oct 7, 2009:
ReplyDeleteConcerns about his rising financial compensation during tough economic times have prompted evangelist Franklin Graham to temporarily give up future contributions to his retirement plans at the two charities he leads.
As president of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan's Purse, he receives two full-time salaries and two retirement packages. Last year his total compensation from the two Christian ministries was $1.2 million.
As head of the Boone-based Samaritan's Purse, Graham earned more last year than any other leader of an international relief agency based in the United States. That includes eight with larger budgets, according to data compiled by Guidestar, a group that monitors non-profits.
Graham acknowledged last week that his compensation total “looks terrible” and that “people won't understand it.
News of his pay hike comes only months after BGEA laid off more than 10 percent of its staff.
Still, his total compensation of $535,000 (from Samaritan's Purse) was higher than the $421,000 paid to the president of World Vision International, a relief agency with a budget four times as large.

Anon 8:18... Sarah, I didn't you you could get wifi in the Haitian camps.
ReplyDeleteIf she were truly concerned, she would have been trumpeting this cause last winter immediately after the earthquake.
In addition to Doctors without Borders, another great charity doing amazing work in Haiti is Partners in Health. Its head, Dr. Paul Farmer, is the type of leader and visionary thinker SP could only wish she was. And unlike SP, PIH is extremely well-regarded by organizatiosn which rate charities.
8:39: "I see that pic of her with Sherri Shepherd on The View and I think, "Wow!" and then I see her looking smaller in others. I am still on the fence."
ReplyDeleteI don't think she's pregnant, just has belly problems of the sort that suggest over and over again that she's in early pregnancy. And yet, even knowing that Bristol invites scrutiny and gossip and slurs because of her appearance, her mother keeps her squarely in the public eye, dressed in ways that invite even more scrutiny. Palin is so mis-wired in the motherly instincts department I never fail to be shocked. Melly
In the midst of a presidential election & possible fraud, Money Spice brings her freak show to town.

ReplyDeleteThat poor baby is Spanxed to within an inch of it's life.
Bristol could be holding Tripp with her big grin instead she is looking shameful as she pimps for Graham and the Grizz.
ReplyDeleteI'd say Bristol's not even trying to keep her pregnancy a secret. So why haven't the media reported it? -B

If Sarah Palin held press conferences, did interviews, discussion panels, focus groups, town halls which gave her a venue to discuss her political philosophy and policy ideas, then a side-trip to Haiti might get a pass as a charitable endeavor (albeit il-judged).
ReplyDeleteBut Sarah Palin cowers in her twitter turret thinking she's a politician. When she ventures out she gets justifiably SLAMMED for being the sociopath she is.
BTW, when Sarah Palin's attire becomes bizarre, there's usually a twitter melt-down to follow.

Bristol Palin Flips the Middle Finger to Billy Graham Evangelists
ReplyDeleteBristol shows support for Palestinians. That is so awesome that she has a REAL cause, other than abstinence.
But I just can't help wondering how her mother is so bold as to allow this, considering all the money at stake with Franklin Graham.
http://ziomania.com/images2009/keffiyeh/keffiyeh.htm
I just love that Middle Eastern look on Bristol. Big scarf, leather vest. Very upscale Muslim. She's brought the Palestinian men's traditional military look (Keffiyeh) to her hijab. And the baseball hat completes it for khimar.
http://ziomania.com/images2009/keffiyeh/Keffiyeh9.jpg
How very hip of her. When they're in England soon, she might want to take that off. Lotsa Jewish people.
But I guess she really IS demonstrating her modesty, isn't she?
The Qur'an instructs both Muslim men and women to dress in a modest way. They are instructed to "draw the khimar over their bosoms" and that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof. (Qur'an 24:31)
Qur'anic verses enjoin women to "guard their private parts... and drape down khimar over their breasts [when in the presence of unrelated men]",[Qur'an 24:31] they urge modesty.

a fake location & a fake trip?
I think I've reached my saturation point with Sarah Palin. I know that she is shameless and hypocritical, so I am not shocked or surprised anymore when she does shameless and hypocritical things.
ReplyDeleteUntil people are willing to go on record about her past and journalists start asking real questions about her, nothing is going to change.
First entry @8:18 AM
ReplyDeleteDoes Sarah strike you as a centrist?
Kindly take your head out of your ass. We know who the "idiots" are.
She actually wore a teeshirt that featured the word
ReplyDelete"skinny" to Haiti?
http://www.flickr.com/photos/32527116@N06/5254385468/
What does it say? Skinny *What* Sports
She thought that was a good idea?
In the picture of Bristol holding the baby she is wearing the same leather-like vest as in the Sherry Sheperd "belly" picture. Who wears a leather vest in fricking Haiti?
ReplyDeleteWhat I know is that this woman isn't a member of any church, as practicing Christians tend to be. Myself and others have been asking this question over and over on these blogs - where is her church community, where is her charity work, what does she do with her time?
ReplyDeleteWhile Samaritan's Purse - not a fan, though I am Christian - may engage in some legitimate work o behalf of the needy (note I say some), basically this is providing Sarah a high profile chance to "prove" she is an active Christian. Which she is not.
That, along with photographs of herself with people of color, is her ONLY motive for going down there in such an opportunistic and fraudulently controlled way.
It's disgusting.
And thank you for posting the photos that Samaritan's Purse scrubbed, Gryphen. That wasn't done by accident, as we all know.
These people are vulgar.
ReplyDeleteAnd to the idiot above that said "it is good that she's bringing the attention to the circumstances... .
She is bringing attention to the circumstances? Sorry Anonymous 8:18 a.m., we have been aware of Haiti and its circumstances for years. Only the P-head and her followers have heard of Haiti in the last few days.
I went to the Samaritan's Purse Today website, to the article "Daughters Doing Their Part." They mentioned Cissie Graham Lynch is Tweeting from Haiti. Guess what. She just joined Facebook and Twitter recently.. for this trip? Lucky for us, she's been sending pictures, including links to the one of her and Bristol with babies. Do have to agree with someone else who said that Cissie looks more comfortable with the possibly sick children than Bristol does.
ReplyDeleteWe all commented on Bristol's scarf yesterday (and today), but there may be more than meets the eye with the one from yesterday (with the white shirt). Sure looks similar to some of the ones Michelle Malkin is "all wee-wee'd up" about!

ReplyDelete"Don't knock any charity organization that does good in the world. The good ALWAYS outweighs the "bad"
Jealousy isn't becoming"
9:02 AM
I can't agree with your assumption that criticism of SP is due to jealousy. (Such sweeping generalizations are made, in general, to deflect the truth of the criticism.)
But to the point, so-called "charity" organizations (like Samritan) that claim to be doing good while perpetuating the very system that maintains the evil are certainly not good, nor do they outweigh the bad. They are actually PART of the problem.
It's like when Queen Victoria donated FIVE POUNDS to the Irish genocide (famine) that she and her government and its predecessors CAUSED.
Let Graham speak against rampant corporatism and exploitation of the ENTIRE world by the first world countries and then DO somehing to try to check the greed and callous insensitivity of bankers and invetsors backed by military might (yes r\the US) to extract wealth from poor countries such as Haiti.
At the very least let him bring his good works of bandaids and trinkets to the near mortal wounds of Haiti in silence and anonymously, as directed in the Christian bible
It seems as though Palin's entourage looked at all the negative publicity she's gotten recently and decided she needed some good PR. They looked around for a potential photo op and called on Graham like they did with the homemade cookies fiasco.
ReplyDeletePalin has done absolutely nothing, either personally or financially, for any major charities since she was put in the spotlight in 2008. She doesn't spend time volunteering and shows no public support for anything except her own bank account. If she had any compassion for the people of Haiti, she would have been involved a year ago when the earthquake first hit like many celebrities were, not for a one-day photo shoot. Were there any announcements of a big contribution or large project that she is supporting? Of course not! She has no interest in helping the Haitians, and traveled there just to get her picture taken. Disgusting!
And the people still lined up in tents and shacks.
ReplyDeleteMaybe a church will be built before a pavilion to house the sick?
Barefooted, hungry and sick in the name of the Graham.
Hmm here's a theory - If bristol's preg again, maybe the latest baby daddy is black. Can't blame it on Levi, so how's about a trip to Haiti, and say she adopted the baby there. Use it to turn her into a saint, just like granmama did with trig but opposite situation. Seems odd they would suddenly care about people suffering in haiti, they are scheming up something. Also, nice of bristol to leave tripp again after being away from him so long. Maybe margaret cho is babysitting, it's so hard for bristol to be a single mother when she has no support from anyone and has to do everything herself!
ReplyDeleteI thought that perhaps "making you want to vomit" while watching the video might be a little over the top. No, not at all. It really disgusted me. Why do you have to have a news team? Why do you have to video the whole thing? What is the point besides whoring for media attention? Watching Graham walking around holding the little ones' hands was grotesque as was watch Ms. Palin pat the little baby like it was a puppy or something. And why would you take your child to a country ridden with cholera?
ReplyDeletesarah palin is a repugnant opportunist. she reaches for a new low with the dawning of each new day.
ReplyDeletedoes she not realize most are onto her by now? the suffering haitians will not refudiate her tarnished reputation.
her heartless treatment of the alaska natives and how she igored the plight of haiti last year tells everyone all they need to know.
The Palin's answer to hiding not being pregnant is scarves, now their answer to being pregnant is scarves. Maybe one scarf, but 2 different scarves in that climate. Oh, come on. What is going to be the story behind this baby. She sure looks pregnant to me.
ReplyDeletehere's some more unscripted unauthorized video! naughty people, lol.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the book Toad is carrying around under his arm? and look at him and Scarah evil eye this videographer.

8:18, Sarah isn't bringing attention to anything but herself. Countless others beat her to it last year and since.
ReplyDeleteI doubt Sarah ever performed a good deed anytime in her own selfish life.
If anyone is vile it is Palin and her own band of bored, vile anonymous idiots.
So explain to me why her being there is helping the people of haiti. Do you really think she wants people to give to haiti when they could be giving to her pac?

ReplyDeleteUsing the suffering of others as a backdrop in a photo op is about as low as anyone can go. But I'm sure the Palins will find a way to top this one, also too.
ReplyDeleteFranklin Graham says twice in the first twenty seconds or so that the Palins are here "to see"...repeat, "to see" what is going on here...not to help or make anything better, just "to see" and as if that's not bad enough, they are spreading the message of Jesus and Christmas with gifts...the exact opposite of what Jesus himself said to do...
ReplyDelete"Whatsoever you do for the least of my brothers, you do for me." It said something about feeding and clothing and visiting in jail and being kind to a stranger, but not a single thing about giving gifts...hmmmm...I'm no biblical scholar, just a recovering Catholic, but even I know this bible quote...how come the very Christian Sarah Palin and the ultra-ultra-Christian Franklin Graham don't????
Sociopaths like Sarah cannot connect with people, even the Haitians who have suffered for almost a year with no relief in sight.
ReplyDeleteLook in those dead eyes.
Here is a person who could have made a HUGE difference in the lives of these cholera patients. She is a celebrity - she could pick up the phone and rake in tons of medical supplies, much needed food, and the companies would donate.
But SociopathicSarah (as usual) arrives at her destination empty handed.
A photo op at a medical facility or clinic is a nuisance. Especially when the patients have no idea who this woman is or why they are being photographed.
I would say disgusting but it is beyond disgusting. She has humiliated herself and she has chosen to exploit sick and injured patients and giving nothing in return.
Even the gifts she passed out were donated.
Those who have been to Haiti as medical volunteers look at this soulless creature and cringe with embarrassment.
I have made this comment on another blog: Since Bri$tol is there - and obviously preggo - holding an infant (that most likely has Cholera), I guess she is into some type of fundie-abortion - If she gets Cholera, which is quite possible, given the Payme's hygiene, it is quite possible that she will lose this baby!
ReplyDeleteSarah was passing out "Palin 2012" bumper stickers to the Haitians until Franklin reminded her that none of them have cars.
ReplyDeleteSarah said, "that's ok, they can still vote for me".
When Franklin said they could not vote for her... Sarah was heard to say... why the hell did I come here? Let's leave immediately!
9:02, Why is it that you Palin freaks always imagine people are jealous of Palin? What decent people are is disgusted by her. You should be too. This is another blatantly transparent attempt to burnish her image. If she were an authentic person she would not be so desperate to use the suffering of others for her own benefit. There is nothing good happening here.
ReplyDeleteI knew I shouldn't have watched that video. To give those poor children boxes of junk! When they've had their homes destroyed, don't have clean food or water and they'e sick. Gawd. There's no limit to what bums like Palin and Graham will do for money and attention.
ReplyDeleteBristol looks like she's pregnant.
Noticed the giant amps behind the bench along with the Operation Christmas Child boxes. Go to their website to see $35 donation buys a shoebox of trinkets and proselytizing propaganda. No doubt the smiling bumps on a log are listening to congratulatory rah-rahs at a mass meeting. As if the Haitians weren't sick enough--disgusting! Imagine how much clean water and food could have been bought for the cost of this extravagant photo-op.

Look at Bristol in this pic:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.flickr.com/photos/32527116@N06/5253777577/
Looks like she pulled some unwitting child in front of her to cover up that baby bump.
To 8:18 - it is obvious you don't know Palin the way we do in Alaska. She is a fraud and was indeed the worst quitter governor Alaska ever had. If you would vet her, you would see why we doubt everything she puts out there for Americans to see.
ReplyDeleteShe lies constantly and subjects us daily to things she really isn't. She was a racist during the national campaign she shared w/McCain - she was a racist to our first people in Alaska during the time she was governor. She is no more a Christian than am I.
I so hope the FBI and IRS are investigating her and Toad.
The woman is not who she seems by any stretch of the imagination!
8:18 a.m.,
ReplyDeleteBullshit. The earthquake in Haiti was almost a year ago. Palin didn't aknowledge any of Haiti's troubles, until now. Faux News pretended the earthquake didn't even happen. There are other celebrities who were way ahead of $arah Palin in "bringing the attention to the circumstances" in Haiti. $arah Palin doesn't give a flying fuck about the people of Haiti. She's just using these people for a photo-op, so she can can use them when she runs for president. "See, I'm not racist." Transparent token crap. Typical republican.
"mindless comments made by bored, angry, vile anonymous idiots"
You mean like YOU, "Anonymous 8:18 a.m.?"
the only thing to say is IF Bristol is NOT pregnant for the 3rd or 4th time now - then she should be ashamed of herself. It's the only excuse for a lard bucket at the belly button at her age.
ReplyDeleteBulls**t!! I have been to Haiti three times on medical mission trips, and the people there are very seldom in clothes without rips and tears, let alone CLEAN NEW ones. There is garbage and feces and toxic water and just general chaos. Apparently this mission has a "camp" population they trot out for photo ops? And why not bring along the entire family to learn first hand what spoiled little shits they are? Why only Bristol? Especially if Bristol is indeed expecting? Wait, I'm sure that the Palin entourage were never exposed to anyone truly ill with disease that they might catch. These people don't need to hear about Jesus, they need help, you know, like Jesus actually says to do, not just to be preached at. What an opportunistic shill.
ReplyDeleteWhat is with those scarves?
ReplyDeleteDidn't the grizzly mama say she used the same method to hide her pregnancy with Trig/
She looks hot, uncomfortable and they(the scarves) are totally unnecessary.
Palin looks uncomfortable, as she should be. Nobody should visit there without being affected by what you see.
Why would we expect Palin to look matronly, or be comfortable in holding a Haiti child? She doesn't even do it well with her own little one who has a disability? She always looks uncomfortable with him and never shows affection. Sarah Palin is not motherly and has raised children that have been problems. Vet it folks - in the Wasilla newspaper and Court records - Track - Willow - Bristol pregnant and perhaps more than once - and, Piper is really the one I fear for as she approaches her teen years. She looks bored and sullen in nearly every photo we see of her today.
ReplyDelete9:02 a.m.,
ReplyDeleteJealousy? Disgust is more like it. Palin and her crew are not helping anyone but themselves.
Does Palin even know what foreign policy is and how it works? I doubt it.
ReplyDeleteGod, I wish she media would really give her verbal tests in front of all of us - on Alaska history - U.S. history - the European countries - the various wars - vet her on the books she says she has read, etc. She'd flunk and we all know it - especially here in Alaska. She lies - is not smart and puts out there a person she is not!

ReplyDeleteBlame republican, Tom Colberg for Haiti not receiving the aid from US.
Perhaps palin could ask her tea party friend why the hold up?
9:03 a.m. said:
ReplyDelete"Wow, the more you mock Sarah, the more you prove you don't know ANYTHING about her. Keep at it old man. You look ridiculous to those of us who have hearts"
Cry me a river. We know plenty about $arah Palin judging by HER hateful, and divisive rhetoric, and actions. $arah Palin looks ridiculous to the majority of Americans who realize she doesn't have a heart.
yepper -- Palin poverty porn.
ReplyDeleteSomeone looks very, very pregnant.
ReplyDeleteWow. Watching sarah torture Bristol by coercing her into making these public appearances is not fun.
ReplyDeleteI'm 50/50 on the 'Bristol is pregnant again' train. The fact that she gained weight over the course of weeks of dance rehearsal just cannot be explained with anything other than a pregnancy or some other medical condition where hormones are out of whack.
ReplyDeleteThere are pics where there is a belly which looks pregnant...not a fat belly but a solid belly but other pics where it isnt readily noticeable. The warm clothing in hot weather in LA, the scarves in Haiti tend to give me the impression she's trying to hide something.
But I'm not seeing an increase in belly size from several weeks ago. Foundation garments can only hide so much. And perplexed as to why she wouldnt be in 'hiding' if in fact she was pregnant. It'll be interesting to see what happens in the coming month.
I hate to say this but those people are just thinking "ooo the beach! We can get a tan!!!"
ReplyDeleteThis whole Haitian excursion is sickening. Thanks to whomever looked up the ratings on Samaritan's Purse. That just confirms the ultimate goal of this photo op for Franklin. As far as Palin...someone mentioned that if she truly wanted to do something positive she would have engaged on a fund-raising tour to bring money and needed supplies to the region and she would have gotten in there distributing the goods.
ReplyDeleteShe's pathetic
Why was I in North Carolina today? (hint: Rev Franklin Graham and Samaritan's Purse and 8 million children))
ReplyDeleteGreta Van Susteren | December 2, 2010 7:11 PM
Media access to Palin's Haiti tour restricted to Fox News
"Jonathan Katz of the Associated Press is a liar. He knows very well that Samaritan's Purse was in charge of press in Haiti, not Gov. Palin." Rebecca wants attention, also, too.
BREAKING NEWS: Sarah palin wraps up visit to Haiti DECEMBER 12, 2010
``I do urge Americans not to forget Haiti,'' Palin told reporters in the main compound of Samaritan's Purse, located north of Port-au-Prince.
The 15-minute news conference came on the 11-month anniversary of the massive January earthquake that killed up to 300,000 people and threw another 1.5 million into squalid settlements.
What Sean Penn (movie star) and Sarah Palin are doing for Haiti is completely the opposite. Penn has poured his heart and soul into the country and Palin walks through a particular area once (w/the help of Graham and Greta) and now expects all of her fellow Americans to think she has 'foreign trade' experience? Give me a friggin break!
ReplyDeleteMore and more Americans are seeing through the woman she tries to tell us she is! Her popularity is dropping - finally! Just look at her second book sales - many unsold copies are being returned to the publisher and she is selling no where near the copies she did with her first book.
And, her TV show on Alaska has dropped substantially in viewers. Let it be known that she does NOT represent the majority of women in Alaska and I've been here since 1960!.
Another point I've brought up before - Palin has a lower approval rating in Alaska than does President Obama. And, we are a red state and Palin is a Republican. What does that tell you folks?
To 8:38:
ReplyDeleteYou need to understand something here, and I believe I'm speaking for more than myself --
I don't bash those who have a religious belief system. If they are truly happy and go by the standard "do no harm to others," they are more than entitled to believe what they believe (God bless the US of A). It's just that I feel the same way toward people who do NOT have a religious-based belief system.
As far as my belief system, it is NOT open for discussion by the public at large, PARTICULARLY if I am involved in politics!!!! (Once again, you gotta love our country!!)
Jesus. I had to turn it off when she started in with "sweet innocence of children, people are lovin' em!" So condescending.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the T-shirt she's wearing? And how sincere she looks, talking about the great work being done while wearing a pair of celebrity-style sunglasses, no eye contact.
I just can't understand why people would think Bristol Palin would fake appearing pregnant...
ReplyDeleteThat's how crazy they've made us, or else folks just want to get on here and make us doubt our senses.
The girl looks pregnant, and they tried to cover up the Haiti photos that show that.
""Why Sarah would endanger the child Bristol may be carrying by exposing her to unsanitary conditions, disease, and possible violence is beyond me? ""
ReplyDeleteWhy? I think the kids are calling it a "white out" these days... if it is caused by riding a fast horse or contracting cholera, then of course, it is the will of godd.
Which of course absolves one of all responsibility. Or having to raise it.
Anon 8:18 am: all I can say to your post is you just described yourself ( an ignorant hater). I would add that you are as stupid as a box of rocks if you honestly think Sarah is there for any reason other than herself. Sarah is a mentally ill narcissist. Everyone knows that but the Palinbots. All the people who have worked with her know this--at Fox, in Wasilla, in the 2008 campaign. You clearly just don't get her at all. You believe her fake fabricated persona.
ReplyDeleteThe second thing I have to say to you is Fuck You for coming to this blog and being such a hater to the owner and people who frequent hers. Your bitterness is very apparent and frankly, you need psychological help. Criticizing anonymous posters while you remain anonymous? Up your meds dear.
Guys, if Bristol Palin was really pregnant for as long as you've been rumoring, it would be too obvious for a scarf to hide by now. She's just not skinny like your typical anorexic celebrity. I would also add, she's probably more touched by what she's seeing in Haiti than her opportunistic mother.
ReplyDeletePoor Bristol...first DWTS then Haiti. Will her fun-filled life never end? I would have kicked my mother's teeth in by now. By the way, who's watching the kids??? Do they ever get to see their mother? Yes, Sarah, you definitely get the sh*tt*est mother of the year award for pimping out everyone of your kids to make your sorry @ss look good.
ReplyDelete9:03 - LOL! We know all we need to know about that phony, cheesy Sarah Palin.
ReplyDeleteDon't pretend she's got any kind of heart. The Palins never even gave that much to charity before she was plucked from AK. Didn't the 2007 tax return show only a few thousand in charitable deductions? With her and Todd both making over 100 grand a year? Heck, I contribute more and I'm a single mom.
here is another bristol pic from that day, standing profile (and fixing mommy's bumpit, awww):
ReplyDeleteusatoday
if she's merely gained weight (despite that first sitting w/hands clasped pic screaming to the contrary) isn't it very odd that her upper arms and thighs still look pretty slim, yet her lower belly now sticks out farther than her boobs in a standing profile?? and that her face/chin has become so very much fuller without much apparent weight gain anywhere else but her belly? most people only grow that kind of double chin when they've gained more than 50 lbs, and it shows in places like the upper arm and bust as well.....
just consider these things....
I'm going to hell and Jesus doesn't love me.
ReplyDeleteWhew. That's out of the way.
Next on my list...
Pathetic
ReplyDeleteWhat is with the scarves? She is ALWAYS wearing them now. What other reason could she have than to hide some type of problem with her figure? It just doesn't make sense. It's not like wearing them is the height of fashion these days, esp. in the heat of Haiti.
ReplyDeleteI have known the Palins my entire life.
ReplyDeleteSarah Heath has NEVER EVER done any kind of charity work or the similar. Neither have her kids.
This trip is all a big lie. She is as big of a fake as those fake boobs she puts on.
I'm telling you she is only doing this for show! Plus you ate going to hear Kates view of the events the next few days. Because Sarah made her look terrible on purpose!
Why do Greta van Susteren and her husband "Bhopal John" Coale accompany Sarah Palin? If Coale is advising her, isn't it a conflict of interest for Greta to promote Sarah on her show? And why did Coale switch his political interest from Hilary Clinton to Sarah Palin? Those two women are poles apart in every way. Do the van Sustern-Coales hope to be queen-makers? Very odd.
ReplyDeleteI worked fo for Catholic Charities in a fairly large city. I saw them do some wasteful spending like resending a busload of people back to Africa because they didn't like the first photo-op. There was/is a priest who loudly proclaimed he was tired of helping colored people. I have a shitload of stories about these larger than life charities.

Go to Greta Vanscumface blog. If it doesn't tell you Palin is using the Haitians to score political points, then I don't know what is. Gryphen you should post it please. On Greta's blog, she compares Palin's day in Haiti to the President spending time with his family today. Unbelievable disgusting!!

ReplyDeleteThank YOu!!!! for that info oon amaritan's Purse. That should be spread far annd wide. Very illuminating.
Just look at the Palins tax records and you can see that they've never given much to charity. Compare to others.
ReplyDeleteAlso her PAC is a joke and does illegal things and is under investigation.
Illegal things like buying thousands of her book to falsely move her book to 2nd on NYT sales list. It's a fake-her book is a FLOP and so is her childrens book.
Illegal things like using PAC money for her staffs salaries.
HahAHaha
Also note, I am noticing in the video there , the footage of the true cholera victims getting IV fluids in edited in, it is in an entirely different tent than the one Mrs. Palin was in. The kid Mrs. Palin was in probably had a fever but not cholera, and I doubt anyone in that tent had cholera. Check out the clever editing of stock footage. As in All things Pallin, Sarah WE KNOW !!!
ReplyDelete"Bristol shows support for Palestinians. That is so awesome that she has a REAL cause, other than abstinence.
ReplyDeleteBut I just can't help wondering how her mother is so bold as to allow this, considering all the money at stake with Franklin Graham.

She also wears the peace symbol, which many
Christians consider a broken upside down
cross.
I went to a Baptist school & the peace sign was
banned--wearing it, or even drawing it on your
notebook, would get a student expelled.

Did Christian Sarah teach the Haitian kids new words like "impotent," "limp," and "weak"?
ReplyDeleteWhat did she tell the sick Haitan men? That they are "hiding behind somebody's skirts."
The Haitians are complaining that Greta van Susteren has a certain odor about her. They say that Greta's breath and lips smells like Sarah Palin's ass.
ReplyDelete60 million-dollar operation to give out "8 million shoeboxs in 110 countries, to children who wouldn't otherwise have a Christmas present."
ReplyDeleteOkay, I know that sounds significant and virtuous to us middle class Americans who have been conditioned that the absence of a Christmas present is the worst possible thing that can happen to us. And indicative of child abuse and poverty.
But think for one minute. Do all of these 110 countries necessarily celebrate the birth of Baby Jesus as a national holiday with a gift exchange? For the recipient children who do celebrate Jesus' birth, might there be national traditions and cultural customs already in place?
Isn't it a little strange to deliver presents to Buddhist and Muslim children? I wonder what the parents think? Is this well-received by Rom and Gypsy communities?
What do you think FOX is paying Palin for this trip?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteBristol with baby, Dec 12, 2010.
She looks very pregnant. The gut doesn't look just fat. It could be spandexed to hold in baby plus fat or just fat. I think if it was just fat she would confront that more than the one damage control about liking her big plus size body. She does seem to be trying to hide it, scarf and vest. She could be hiding either baby plus fat or just fat. By now I do think she would have confronted this in public if it was only fat. She is not treating herself or a baby well. Her diet stinks and is unhealthy. That may include more than food, she has to be on drugs or meds. Her head is not well. She is careless to be in a Malaria zone and not cover her arms and legs. She could have pretended the scarf was her Malaria protection if done right, it would have been an excuse. Better than to see her hot for nothing but a dumb scarf fashion that makes no sense unless she is a total loony tunes nut case.
I can only surmise that Tripp is handled with the same poor judgments. She looks like she is a terrible mother. She should be with Tripp unless he has grown out of the stage she likes and she just wants a new baby. She may want a new one until that one gets to be over a year and not more infant. Judging from that picture I don't think she would adopt a child that wasn't very white. She may loathe her own ancestry. Tripp was lucky to turn out not looking like the Johnston Mexican heritage. He had a mother until he was a year and a half. She may have abandoned him sooner if he had different skin.
"There were such ravaged conditions and environmental aspects of this country before the earthquake," said Palin.
ReplyDelete"Haiti has been a country that has suffered in the past, that's going to continue to suffer until some fundamental changes are being made here," she added.
And apparently it's all about job creation, also too, down there in Haiti:
Palin said "job opportunities especially for the young people of Haiti" were something the poorest country in the Americas needed perhaps more than anything else.
"God created man to work, to produce, to be able to contribute and to take care of one's own family and one's own community," she said.
Why such a bulky scarf in that climate? I haven't looked at any possible clues suggesting that she might be pregnant (again), so I haven't had any inclination one way or the other, but this certainly raises an eyebrow for me. Trying to provide an offset for that lower half of her torso? Certainly looks like it. Just trying to get people like us to buzz amongst ourselves? Could be. But she does look... pregnant. Some of the DWTS photos looked like a stretch to me (could have been just the signs of an overweight person in my view). This one though... That's odd.
ReplyDeleteDo they EVER wear their WEDDING Rings??
ReplyDeleteI wonder if she wiped her hands on Franklin Graham's shirt after shaking hands with one of the Haitians like W. did on Bill when they were in Haiti?
ReplyDeleteWhy does this look just put together for the photo op? The tent etc... no real dignity for the people...I am sure Palin, Graham, landed in the Dominican Republic and hopped over to Haiti.
ReplyDeleteSarah looks like an "out of body experience" watching,not a part of it!
Why is everyone so WHITE in Graham's Samaritian Purse...I thought this Haiti.
C'est drole !
Sarah who? As if they care. I think this trip has several intentions for Sarah. But I'm thinking that one the biggest ones might be to strengthen her "second coming of Jesus" appeal to her most core base. Of course they restricted camera access around her. If they didn't, maybe her worshippers might start to have an inkling of doubt about her when they don't see masses of fish jumping out of the sea or water suddenly turning into wine. How many will be healed by touching her $500 Nine West pumps?
ReplyDeleteWhy is there cholera in Haiti?
ReplyDeletehttp://www.afaceaface.org/blog/?p=1529
"Let us focus here on the cholera. Not the treatment effort, but on its prevention. Aid agencies always warn of cholera and other water-borne diseases in these disasters. They know how to prevent it – make sure that faeces do not contaminate water supplies. This has not happened.
"Why? Why are people still defecating on the open ground, where it runs off into surface water, from whence the cholera vibrio can jump onto skin, food and drinking water every time it rains?
"Because there is no sanitation. Most Haitians had no running drinking water before the earthquake, let alone now. But this presupposes the Western, post-Crapper notion that it is a good idea to shit into water. I bet there are plans being drawn up as we speak to theoretically supply, by private contract, a Haiti-wide Western style sewerage system. Plans.
"What the displace Haitians need is low technology sanitation. A slit trench is better than open-ground defecation. It is what it says on the tin. A slit trench, a trench which you straddle, crap into, and then immediately cover the crap with the earth dug out of the trench. No smell, no flies – but a risk of groundwater contamination at a later date.
"So the slit trench is a second best option. The best option is a compost toilet system. There are many models, but the one I favour and use is Joe Jenkins’ Humanure system. ..."
I'm sorry, the Palin women need to find another way to hide secret pregnancies...the ever-present scarf just isn't cutting it. I no longer have ANY doubts...Bristol is surely pregnant.

This not how you run a humanitarian mission. He's what the scripturs say about false leaders like Palin and Graham:
ReplyDeleteEzekiel 34:
1And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, UAdd a Note
2Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God unto the shepherds; Woe be to the ashepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds bfeed the flocks? UAdd a Note
3Ye eat the afat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill them that are fed: but ye feed not the flock.
4The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was asick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled them.
Operation Christmas Child is a year-round effort to take shoe box gifts and the message of the gospel to 8 million children all around the world. On April 27, 2009, 65,000 of the shoe boxes you gave were loaded on a Boeing 747 cargo plane in Charlotte, North Carolina, traveling to China for children whose lives were devastated by last year’s earthquake. Franklin Graham, President and CEO of Samaritan’s Purse, was in China on May 12th, 2008, and felt the quake. Samaritan’s Purse immediately responded with disaster relief to the Sichuan Province of Central China sending water filtration systems, medical supplies, hygiene kits, and blankets. The continued relief effort has led to this exciting delivery of shoe boxes to the children of this region.

what an amazing opportunity to hear about how God- over time is and has prepared the way for opening doors in China. I think one of the things I love most about this ministry is that the faithfullness to answer immediate needs of eathquake victims through blankets and food has now opened the door for gift filled shoeboxes to go in the name of Christ. Praying for the journey of these boxes and excited to hear more!

friend put me in touch with this website and told me of the great news about OCC going into China. I, now, sit here with tears in my eyes over the goodness of God. I work in my church every year with the shoebox ministry and I am so very excited! This year will be no exception when I encourage everyone to do as much as they are able to reach people for HIM! FANTASTIC!
4 | Woo-hoo!! What a privilege to get to be there to see those shoeboxes off on their way and to pray over them. It’s such an easy thing to pack a shoebox, but man, does it pack a huge punch! May these children in China know God’s love for them!
5 |Shannon from OCC sent me pictures of a little boy in China receiving and opening his shoe box! So precious! I love actually seeing the faces of the children.
6 | I got involved in Operation Christmas Child as a teenager in high school and have been involved ever since. For the last two or three years I have included personal notes wih a return address in my boxes. A little more than a month ago I recieved a letter from a 9 year old boy living in South Africa. He had recieved one of my boxes.He said that he had never recieved a gift like that before. He is part of a large family but the only one in his family to recieve a box because he is the only one going to school but he enjoyed sharing the box with his family. Since recieving the box he has become involved. I am looking foward to keeping in touch with him and filling many more boxes.

I have never heard about Operation Christmas Child in Russia. I think that an idea is quite interesting and many Russian will be happy to be involved in this movement.
Oh yes. Sarah Palin IS running for president.
ReplyDeleteThe Brody Files, May 2010
Franklin Graham and Dr. James Dobson together in Washington. They were in town taking part in a National Day of Prayer pre-event hosted at the Family Research Council.
Franklin Graham: "Certainly, there seems to be, that Islam under this administration, gets a pass, and that's very concerning to me and to a lot of evangelicals. And there were millions of Evangelical Christians that voted for Barack Obama in this last election. I don't think they will be at the table next time."
Why Sarah Palin's Reality Show Helps Her
"But you know what? The show works. It makes her look strong and commanding.
I'm not saying people are going to then all of a sudden start to make the leap that she can handle the presidency. But this show makes her look more in control and strong. Those attributes are crucial in the rebooting of Sarah Palin 2.0."

Bristol Palin isn't "touched" by what she has seen in Haiti. From what we have SEEN, Miss "Big Middle-Finger" is just as nasty, and classless as her mother. People with the Palin's type of so-called "values" do not care about the "other."
If she's trying to hide her baby bump, Bristol needs a bigger scarf.

Samaritan's Purse responded to many of these concerns by highlighting their evangelical focus and their long history of interfaith cooperation. Following censure from the UK Charity Commission, Samaritan's Purse UK also released a leaflet clarifying their intent and methods.

A 'must read'.
ReplyDeleteGiles Fraser, The Guardian
The evangelicals who like to giftwrap Islamophobia - The world's largest children's Christmas project has a toxic agenda
"Little wonder that such organisations as the fire service in south Wales, which had allowed its depots to be used as collection points for shoeboxes, has decided to suspend its involvement. Other organisations are reconsidering their participation.
What is most resented about Samaritan's Purse is the way it links aid and evangelism. "We have no problem with people going into a country to do evangelical work," said Hodan Hassan, a spokeswoman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations. "But when you mix humanitarian work in a war-torn country with evangelisation you create a problem. You have desperate people and you have someone who has food in one hand and a Bible in another."
"Ironically, it is the story of the good Samaritan that provides one of the most effective put-downs to precisely the sort of Islamophobia displayed by Christian fundamentalists such as Graham. Jesus is asked: "Who is my neighbour?" The moral of the story he tells in response - at least the one most people remember from Sunday school - is that it is the man who is beaten up and left for dead that Jesus points to as our neighbour.
Conclusion: we must help those in need.
But that's not the story at all. A man is mugged in the Wadi Qelt between Jerusalem and Jericho. Whereas the religious pass by and do nothing, it is the Samaritan who offers care. Those listening to the story would have despised Samaritans. The words "good" and "Samaritan" just didn't go together. Indeed, theirs would have been the General Boykin reaction: that Samaritans worshipped the idol of a false god. Therefore, in casting the Samaritan as the only passer-by with compassion, Jesus is making an all-out assault on the prejudices of his listeners.
If the story was just about helping the needy, whoever they are, it would have been sufficient to cast the Samaritan as the victim and a Jewish layperson as the person who helped. Crucially, however, the hated Samaritan is held up as the moral exemplar.
Conclusion: we must overcome religious bigotry."

ReplyDeleteWhat is your point? It's still a photo-op. Franklin G. and $arah Palin are using the suffering of others to cash-in. Frauds.
I despise that sleezey bitch Palin. I am so looking forward to the day when she falls on her face and can't get up. It will happen.

ReplyDelete"Hmm here's a theory - If bristol's preg again, maybe the latest baby daddy is black. Can't blame it on Levi, so how's about a trip to Haiti, and say she adopted the baby there. Use it to turn her into a saint, just like granmama did with trig but opposite situation. Seems odd they would suddenly care about people suffering in haiti, they are scheming up something."
I think that's a very good theory. Since Sarah seems to be trying to make Bristol seem so perfect since she "ruined" the VPOTUS campaign, adopting a suffering baby would be something I could see them doing. Nothing would surprise me about Sarah. And they now have the photo opps to say how "moved" they were by the plight of the children.
Gryph--what are you hearing about the race of the father of Bristol's baby???? MediaInsider said he was older and from Wasilla and wants to be involved. But nothing about his race. What are you hearing ???? They are up to something !
The symptoms of cholera are profuse watery diarrhea and vomiting. An untreated person with cholera may produce 10-20 liters of diarrhea a day.
ReplyDeleteThe people Sarah Palin is seeing in these photos are either recovering or don't have the disease.
"There were such ravaged conditions and environmental aspects of this country before the earthquake," said Palin.
ReplyDelete"Haiti has been a country that has suffered in the past, that's going to continue to suffer until some fundamental changes are being made here," she added.
Palin said "job opportunities especially for the young people of Haiti" were something the poorest country in the Americas needed perhaps more than anything else.
"God created man to work, to produce, to be able to contribute and to take care of one's own family and one's own community," she said.
More impressive empty verbiage. To Palin and her backers--what's your plan to rehabilitate Haiti? After centuries of exploitation by colonial empires--including the USA right up to the present--what "fundamental changes" do you have in mind? What " common sense conservative" plan do you have?
It was exploitation at the hands of your allies and antecedents, from slave- holders to neo-liberal economists (read free marketeers), to Wall St. "entrepreneurs" (who recently wrecked the world's economy as well) to international monopolists ( one of whom employs you at Fox) that is most responsible for the poverty and despair in Haiti today.
You are indentured to Big Money, Sister Sarah. You are a tool and mouthpiece for the types of "business" that ruined Haiti.
The liberator of Haiti, Toussaint L'Ouverture did love freedom--enough to die for his people's freedom. SP, you walk on hallowed ground with ignorant pretensions to power and knowledge, and you don't even know it.
No one who sees pictures of you with the "natives" in Haiti will be able to forget your feigned smile masking a cruel indifference along with your smug and wholly unearned sense of superiority. And most of all your complete lack of real charity.
Did the Haitians have to pay Palin 100,000 and todd 75,000 and I think Bristol gets 30,000. They got gyped.
ReplyDeleteGreta Van S is a Scientologist, no?
ReplyDeleteLet's shine a light on that one real soon.
Sarah Palin is best buds with a Scientologist....hmmm.
Never mind this fake Christian thing Sarah has going on.
(Be careful, though, 'cause those Scientologists will really mess you up if they think you are scrutinizing them.)
Give it a rest, 2:17 p.m. Palin may run for president, but she will lose. That idiot think's it's going to be so easy. Have you seen the latest polling on $arah Palin? Not looking good. Franklin G. is another idiot spitting out the same old lame, right-wing talking points about Barack Obama, that are designed to scare white people. Barack Obama does not need the evangical Christian vote, because most evangical Christians did not vote for Barack Obama in 2008, dummy.
ReplyDelete'$arah Palin's Alaska' does not help her. She still looks dumb, and totally insane. Someone like Palin who fears tough questions from REAL reporters is not "strong and "in control." It makes it look like, that after 2 years she is still not ready for prime-time.
"Those attributes are crucial in the rebooting of Sarah Palin 2.0."
$arah Palin "second verse, same as the first" is more like it.
And we come to the good stuff!
ReplyDeleteThe real background to Sarah Palin's misinformation (the "gaffe" that wasn't a gaffe) about North Korea. Sarah thinks the things she does because she's been given a Franklin Graham/James Dobson version.
FOR REAL.
"Franklin Graham arrived in North Korea on July 31 for a historic four-day visit to meet with
government and church leaders, assess relief projects, and share the Gospel.
At the formal reception that evening, Graham was welcomed by Jong Tae Yang, vice director of foreign ministry, along with Rev. Kang Yong Sop, chairman of the central committee of the Korean Christian Federation, and Ri
Jong Ro, director of international affairs for the Korean
Christian Federation.
Graham addressed the gathering.“I do not come to you today as a politician or diplomat. I come to you instead as a minister of the Gospel and an ambassador for the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.”
Of course, Fox News and Greta Van Susteren were there.
Graham completed his visit on Sunday by delivering an evangelistic message at Bongsu Church. He and his father, Billy Graham, are the only two Americans who have been allowed to speak at the church. With no restrictions from the authorities, he preached from the third chapter of the Gospel of John, explaining to
hundreds in the congregation how they can be born again through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ.
“I want to try to help the church that is here in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea,” Graham told Fox News.
During his visit, Graham had the unique opportunity to talk with Vice President Kim Yong Dae and other senior government leaders, and presented them with a basketball, Korean-language Bibles, a cross, and a statuette of the Good Samaritan.

ReplyDeleteSimilar stories are continually repeated with the movement to faith based. They just want to control the purse strings. It sounds so good if you don't deal with facts and it is all about giving your life to their god. Don't question or judge the do good act. You aren't even allowed to discern.
Can you imagine your love ones suffering and near death and you are told the good samaritans are coming to bring joy and gifts and the Graham/Fox posse shows up with cameras and their idea of a rock star? Someone you've never heard of but you are told magical stories. Your needs are great and and they give you a shoebox. What a waste.
The other day, I made a comment about Sarah
ReplyDeletePalin never being photographed in a bathing suit.
Now that I've seen these pictures from Haiti, I think
I can see why--she'd lose a lot of male fans. She is
terribly scrawny--like Nicole Richie a few years
ago.
So "job opportunities" are the answer, huh Sarah? These poor people are so far out from being able to discuss that issue in any concrete way that it is ludicrous she would frame remarks about Haiti in that manner.
ReplyDeleteThis country has been devastated. There is no infrastructure. There is rampant government corruption. There is rampant poverty and disease.
Jobs are the least of it at the moment.
They are truly a land in need of charity and help right now, not lectures about "job opportunities".
STFU, Ms. Palin. No one asked you for your opinion.
OMG!!! They better get BP back home before she has her baby in another country!!! Is that the plan give birth somewhere foreign and quietly give it up for adoption? I bet Graham knows about the pregnancy and will find a solution for SP. He wants her in the white house so he can pull her strings.
ReplyDeleteAnon 8:18, I am not bored, angry or vile. Maybe you are talking about yourself? Many people who read this blog give money to others generously. We don't feel the need to boast about our charity. We like to give anonymously because we know it is the right thing to do. We are also smart enough to give to the right charities because we research them before opening our wallets, unlike the mindless minions of SP.
ReplyDeleteHMT
They're homeless, dying of cholera and Samaritan's Purse is giving them Christmas presents with what in them? Did she say 8 million boxes? Could that money have been better spent on shelter and medical supplies? Maybe provide clothing and food for the kids instead of plushies and, what was that, a cardboard etch a sketch? (I remember those as kids, plastic on waxed cardbord. Draw on it with your pencil fingernail, then lift to erase.)
ReplyDeleteThat was a give them money public service announcement by Sarah to pad Samaritan's purse. And a photo op for her.
One hand washes the other. I'm sure in boiled water with disinfectant.
(Maybe Bristol thinks she'll lose weight if she gets dysentary?)
Maybe Bristol's baby-daddy is black so if she "adopts" a baby it won't be questioned as much.
ReplyDeleteDo we know when this trip occured, that would help put things into perspective.

.........................
I couldn't disagree with you more! How can proselytising in the name of disaster relief (which ALL Christian charities do!) be considered "good"?? What if some of these people don't *want* to hear their bible bullshit? Christianity is responsible for destroying countless native customs and beliefs. How is that good??
I've always believed that most of these "christians" who give to charity are only doing it to buy themselves a ticket to heaven. Not because it's the right thing to do!
And WTF does jealousy have anything to do with it??? Project much??
(Sorry to true, unselfish, humanitarian Christians who don't believe that it's proper to try and exploit disaster situations to try and convert people to their religion!)
Our family has participated in Operation Christmas Child for many years and contributed many boxes. It was easy. It was simply a way to make a child happy for a few hours and spread some good will internationally. It wasn't meant as a replacement for health care needs or disaster relief. To be honest, I wasn't aware of the problems until I heard Franklin Graham's rants earlier this year, and decided I wouldn't support the organization. The shoe boxes were a great way for our children to participate in charity. Both children worked at the warehouses to pack the boxes as part of their church youth groups. Our family isn't wealthy but we give a great deal of our income to charity. My husband and I volunteer extensively. We have taken in women and children from shelters, etc.
ReplyDeleteAll this being said, it makes me sick to see Sarah Palin handing out the shoeboxes. Like everything else Sarah touches, I hope Franklin understands this will not benefit his organization in the long run, no matter what his intentions, i.e. increase donations by tapping into Sarah's Insane Clown Posse.
Wait just one second, Tod and Sarah are in Haiti, who in the hell is watching Willow and Track?
ReplyDeleteThose drunks/druggies/criminals should not be left alone in Wasilla.
Forgot to mention in an earlier post that Samaritan's Purse wants contributors of shoe boxes to donate not only the toys in the shoe boxes but also $7.00 to cover their costs. Did you tell your donors that they would be financing Sarah et al to come to Haiti to score political points. Never again!
ReplyDeleteThe $7.00 donation to 'cover' costs is discussed at Samaritan's Purse...http://www.samaritanspurse.org/index.php/OCC/Pack_A_Shoe_Box/

ReplyDeleteGive it a rest. Bristol's baby bump IS far too obvious for a scarf to hide. What you might not get is the difference between the Palinbots and the (real) readers of Gryphen's blog (who have at least half a brain in their heads).
This whole thing is beyond grotesque. The Haiti trip. The revirginization. The Candies spokeswoman role. All of it.

ReplyDeletemlaiuppa 3:57 Your comment at Bristle makes me think of a line from the movie The Devil Wears Prada, when the young fashionista says seriously:
ReplyDeleteI'm just one stomach flu away from a size two!!!
Also, too, scarves like Bristle is wearing ARE all the rage around where I live, middle atlantic states. but in the Fall and Winter. No one wore them in the heat of summer for gods sake. They are REALLy good at hiding old fashion HICKIES with the teenagers!!! Maybe Bristle was kissing a hoover vacuum cleaner before the trip.
And yes,

Anon @8:41. Your first sentence says it all. My heart broke for those poor, sick Haitians lying there with Palin strolling by, gawking. They thought she was there to help. Little did they know it was just a selfish photo op to exploit their suffering.

Anon @8:38. Not to worry. I know many good hearted Christians who live the Word. :-)

Sarah has to be taken to a special area by helicopter. Most of the country is without sanitation and they don't have bathrooms. Kitchens are primitive, if you are well enough to eat. Can she imagine getting ready to commute to work in Haiti? Graham did her no favors by taking her to an area where it has been sanitized to some degree for people like her to only see part of the picture and conjure more myth.
ReplyDeleteWhat a snake oil salesman Graham is to tag on another $7.00 to pay her way to promote fantasies and build up this foreign policy farce to go along with the humanitarian one. I am sure we haven't begun to hear how this has turned both Sarah and Bristol into even more saintly and busy with all the causes. Rebecca Mansour must really be on a roll and typing as fast as she can. I can hardly wait to hear more of their jobs for Haiti plans. They make Baby Doc look good. Isn't he still alive? Maybe they can partnership and save Haiti.
I thought she went to Haiti to look for HATERS.
ReplyDeleteI have a cousin who has been to Haiti several (6-9) times teaching women how to make crocheted purses/bags out of plastic bags(like grocery store bags etc) and she hauls them back to USA to sell and then brings ALL the money back to them.
They are cute/washable and each one is unique.
Now THAT is charity work, and she is a nurse also who WORKS while there in addition to her "job skills teaching". Try that one on for size sarah you delapediated has been.
Sarah is going down there to get tips on how to steal an election. Nothing more.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.sarahpalinhasaserpentsheart.blogspot.com
They just announced on "the View" that Palin was the only one to contact them and was "unhappy with her piece". OMG! She is a nut!
ReplyDeleteBarbara than went onto saying that the "LIST" was as it was told by Palin, and that Barbara plugged her book, so she didn't know what her-Palin's issue was.
Sarah really has bad bat-wing arms. Cover up, grandma, that t-shirt makes 'em look worse!!
ReplyDelete" She is
ReplyDeleteterribly scrawny--like Nicole Richie a few years
ago."
Yeah, but her arms look flabby and her skin is wrinkley. Nicole Richie at least has nice skin and no bat wings.
Palin does it again. She is quoted as saying, "“I know that there’s been some discussion of U.S. aid perhaps being lifted from this area. Again — not to get political — but if some of the politicians would come here and see the conditions, perhaps they would see a need for, say, a military airlift to come bring supplies that are so needed here.” I guess Sarah didn't have time to read the papers for the last year. According to USAID, the US has given over $1.1 billion in aid so far and US-based NGO's (that don't pay their executives millions of bucks) have been on the ground since the day of the quake.
ReplyDelete6:12 AM - "I have a cousin who has been to Haiti several (6-9) times teaching women how to make crocheted purses/bags"
ReplyDeleteIn no way minimizing your cousin's charitable good works, but why would Haitians not know how to crochet?
Certainly they would, the same as any other country.
First of all, I see Sister Sarah pulled out the old push-up bra.
ReplyDeleteSecond - I find it interesting that she made a HUGE POINT of saying that the money donated to Samatin's Purse was given directly to the people. It was like she was giving direct LYING answers to the FACTS about the charity. Duping the dupes again. She is SO collusive. I wonder how much she'll get in return?
How can either of them call themselves "christian"?? How the hell do they sleep at night?
Great FACTS as always Gryph.
