Sharon,
I looked and they finally pulled the Gov's picture off of www.alaskaprochoice.org website.
Nice job staying on that one. Thank you.
What, you may be asking yourself? Sarah Palin, queen of anti-abortion protestors, had her picture up on a PRO-CHOICE website.
Yep she sure did.
Until now of course.
Here is just a portion of the group's Mission Statement.
The Alliance for Reproductive Justice is a statewide coalition of organizations working together to protect and promote reproductive rights and services through education, advocacy and referrals.
The Alliance for Reproductive Justice promotes policies and practices that protect women's access to comprehensive sexual and reproductive health care through education and grassroots organizing strategies. We seek to empower women, girls and men to improve reproductive health care services, including abortion care, and related policies in Alaska. We achieve this by coordinating actions and facilitating cooperation among Alaskan organizations committed to choice.
Under the heading "What Else We Do?" they have this at the top:
Advocate for access to abortion services and high quality reproductive health care for Alaskan women.
Wow! That certainly would not have gone over very well with the Religious Right now would it? Can you just imagine how much damage this would have done to the McCain campaign if it had come out in 2008?
Now go ahead and tell me again that Palin had NO idea that McCain was going to pick her!
No wonder Palin fought so hard to keep these e-mails out of the hands of bloggers and journalists!
By the way, you can still see Palin's picture over at the ARJ website courtesy of the wayback machine, by clicking here.
Gryph...please oh pretty, pretty please send this out to all! Hopefully you can get Andrew Sullivan's attention. They Daily Beast might have a look since they printed the divorce email story.
ReplyDeleteOh that Sarah, she just loves her photo ops even if it is for pro-choice.
ReplyDeleteSarah would go all the way to Russia to get a picture with the Queen of England.
What's her name Sarah?
Sarah: Ummm.... Margaret Thatcher
Oooohhhhh....Sarah's gonna be pissed now!!
ReplyDeleteThe fact that Palin is pro-choice, based on her policy decisions, is one of the things I like about her!
ReplyDeleteRemember when she appointed Morgan Christen to the Alaska Supreme court?
Woot, you go, girl!
Then, Obama nominated Christen to 9th Circuit! Hey, hey, hey!
Man, her feet must be getting sore from all those gunshots... how's that "Don't retreat, reload!" thingy workin' out for ya, there Sarah?
ReplyDeleteThis isn't the first nor the last time that Palin will be caught saying one thing and doing another...remember the Bridge:

Grypehn pl. watch this morning Meet the Press, showed new video clip from the Movie Game Change :)
ReplyDeleteBURNED. TUBAL. LIGATION.
ReplyDeletePro-choice. Did NOT give birth to Trig.
I was curious about this photo (particularly as it had a different caption), so I did a litle research. The 2007 Women's Summit in Colorado was entitled 10 years of Success Celebrating Women and Business, and it appears to be just that. In their brochure, their stated purpose, list of sponsors and so forth seems to be strictly career and business.
ReplyDeleteI don't see any connection or reference to the Alliance for Reproductive Justice anywhere. I'm not sure why the photo was on the ARJ website, but I doubt if Palin was ever involved with them. It's actually a very progressive women's website, and I was impressed with the list of participants...not Palin's crowd for sure.
Along with the happy chirpy video telling the AIP how wonderful they are, this is something. And people say we're too hard on poor Sarah, the hardly working, hardly mothering, always tweeting Governor in Name Only..that would be GINO.
ReplyDeleteNIIIICE CATCH!!!
ReplyDeletePost it all over 'The Internets'!!!
A visitor from UNITED STATES, A visitor from Los Angeles, and a visitor from Wasilla all seem to view IM Concurrently. Palins and Palin Trolls. They Love you Gryphen for paying so much attention to Sarah and her Family of GRIFTERS.
ReplyDeleteWhere else would they receive this much LOVE? PRO CHOICE is not the Label that Sarah Palin wants at this time, INCOMING CANNED GOODS!!! Any new pictures of Pregnant Willow?
Holy Sh*t
ReplyDeleteThe finds just keep getting better and better.
Hi Sarah, Welcome Back!
ReplyDeleteQuick question, Where's Trigs Birth Certificate?
Awesome find!
ReplyDelete$arah was also for Obama before $he was agin' him:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jO6dmBm1SFw
That video was uploaded September 3, 2008. The interview obviously took place before $he got the call from McCain.
If Sarah had a tubal ligation after Piper's birth, as has been suggested, then she's no Christian according to Santorum. She is of Satan.
ReplyDeleteMan, hate to agree with anything Santorum advocates but he's right about the Sarah=Satan thing,
so all SPs staff was hoping for the big pay-off. lol
ReplyDeletethey were all preying they would
get to live in DC.
have their names in lights. lol.
get her out there so we can tag along!!
roflmao.
psycho and her sycophants.
IMO Palin knew/was told in February that she was the choice if McCain was the nominee.
ReplyDeleteSee the Daily Beast story from Sept 5, 2008 about the meeting where the picture was taken.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2008/09/05/family-matters.html
The people at the meeting- which Palin invited herself to- sound like they felt she misled them about her agenda.
Not pro chioce, just pimping for support and publicity. There must be some more emails on how they scheduled this photo op.
Lynne, can anyone else in the photo be identified? It may help to make sense of the whole thing. The website definitely indicates that it is an Alaska-based organization and the Women's Summits appear to take place in Alaska. The 2012 will take place in Juneau, for example.
ReplyDeleteI have a picture of Palin entitled "Sarah-Palin-Hooker" from 2006 that is 'enlightening" to say the least....looking very "pro"....
ReplyDeleteI love it - the picture is still up on their FB page.
ReplyDeleteWell it looks like this newest batch of emails will be productive. Good. Now if the person or persons who know where Sarah got her baby would come forward, while their story is worth the most money. You know who you are and we know you read this blog. Come forward.

Palinidiot Syndrome causes brain to deteriorate and become unaware of what she is talking about. Loss of memory decreases idiosyncratically with this humanoid and, as such, it is a rapid nose-dive to babbling senselessly.
ReplyDeleteActually, there are a few feminist organizations involved with that Women's Summit, and ARJ is obviously very much in it judging from their Facebook page, but I still think my assessment about Sarah's participation is right.

You're making too much of this. I've attended the Women's Summit before. Yes, it is put together by ARJ, but each year the topics of focus vary although they are always centered around what is in the best interest of women and children. Attendees come from all interests in women's issues, not just reproductive rights. We were introduced to the legislature as the Women's Summit and the year I was there we visited the Governor's office, but Parnell was out of town. I do not believe Palin has ever been pro choice, a this was merely a photo with constituents from every part of the state visiting Juneau to promote issues important and relevant to women.
ReplyDeleteFurther evidence of what a craven piece of dung Sarah Palin is.
ReplyDeleteCLASSIC hypocritical idiocy on sarah palin's part.
ReplyDeletePalin was FOR women's health services before she was against all them damn liberal fools who want to protect women and girls from STD's, rape, abuse, and GETTING PREGNANT while you are STILL A TEENAGER!!.
And also, too, to refudiate abortions in cases of rape, incest, and dire life threatening situations for the mother.
I've decided to start using Sarah Palin's whole name since she'll get a google alert for blogs with her name.
Unless she wants to post here that calling her the Ancient Crone of Wasilla is now on her radar :)
Great find Gryph!!!! Drill baby drill!! Don't retreat, just keep reloading!!!
ReplyDeleteLots of nails turning up from the released emails. Nosferatu is
panic stricken as she is slowly being exposed. She can't possibly keep track of how many flip-flops she has to address.
The sun is slowly rising in the east. Keep turning that crank to part the drapes. I love the smell of flame broiled bat in morning.

ReplyDelete"You go, girl?"
Wow. It doesn't bother you that she's anti-chice, now? Or, wanted women to pay for their own rape kits? Palin is an opportunistic hag. If she found a cure for every illness in the world I would still hate her.
The Mask of Malice.
ReplyDeleteHow come $arah never talks about that documentary made about her daughters? I guess ABC Family already has enough shows about white nationalist girl power.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PR76l9mWVow
First Glen Rice, then this. What next, we're going to find out she tried to have her gay Mexican lover deported?
ReplyDeleteDeath, taxes and Tea Bagger hypocrisy.
I wonder if her picture was there because she was Governor. She was always going around for presentations. I doubt that she was a member.
ReplyDeleteFlip. Flop. Fail.
ReplyDeleteI thought we had concluded that:
ReplyDelete-- Palin met McCain in Jan? Feb? 2008 for a handshake and a brief chat
-- the "pundints" cruised on over to AK and SP entertained them, impressed them (in Feb? as described in The New Yorker article)
-- that insanely pro-Palin blogger kept promoting her as a VP candidate.
--Did Vogue really pick her themselves? Or might they have had a little suggestion?
-- etc.
Surely people talked to one another during this time. Surely they said everything was off the record and speculative. Which it might have been, until the decision to go with Palin was made, shortly before the convention. But I bet it didn't go exactly like in Steve Schmidt says. I bet Palin knew she had an outsider's chance and she was not going to blow it with whatever family misfortune was happening. So she was prepared. As we know, as soon as McCain was picked as the candidate, SP announced she was pregnant. And stripped web sites, or tried to, of anything that no longer fit her "brand." Just getting her ducks in order. Perhaps conferring behind the scenes with whomsoever might have been promoting her. Schmidt might have been on the internet before SP was picked, and he might have done some searches on her, but can anyone think there were not Palin supporters whispering in his ear: the "pundints" who liked her so much, Paxton, maybe even dear Rupert his own self.
This needs to be shipped out across the nation - Huffington Post, etc. Sarah Palin is the biggest liar and fraud - nothing should amaze us anymore about her!
ReplyDeleteShe's at the bottom of the pit and belongs there!
These final emails are doing exactly what we'd hope they'd do - showing the ass she is! I wonder what has been covered up?
Kudos on the catch ! This is big!!!!
ReplyDeleteThey can spin it in many ways .Either way it's another shovel of "dirt " on the hypocrites (aka the grifter)grave.
Certainly made my day .
Since Sarah is pro choice I wonder if she is pro wedding for her junior in high school Willow?
ReplyDeleteHey Sarah why would Willow announce she is engage to be married and she is only an expelled junior in high school?
Is life that bad under Sarah's roof that her kids can't wait to graduate high school before planning on leaving a multimillionaire's nest?
Are the rats jumping ship?
I just have this sneaking suspicion we are going to see this in a Rewrite segment on Larry O'Donnell's show this coming week.
ReplyDeleteLynne,
ReplyDeleteLook closer at the ARJ website. They started the first Alaska Women's Summit in 2007. That was back when the good Gov was working on that high approval rating. I have now doubt that she know exactly what this group was about, participated in the Summit, and stood there smiling for the camera as an accessible and more moderate public official then who she became once selected by McCain and the power and $$$ drove her over the edge.
Well, there goes that speaking slot at the convention.
ReplyDeleteSarah Palin standing proud with her infanticide sisters!
Can you imagine how they're melting down at C4P right now?
I predict they'll claim -
a - It's a photoshop.
b - She was coerced at gub point by Code Pink.
c - She thought she was posing with women from the Anchorage Running Club.
d - That it's Tina Fey.
All these bloggers attacking Sarah Palin reminds of B2 bombers carpet bombing Saddam's troops and tanks in Kuwait.
ReplyDeleteSmells like victory!
Where is Sarah?
Is she hiding in a hole balled up in her compound?
You may hide but we will find you!
If not today maybe the next day but we will get you and your crimes will be revealed for all to see BITCH!
Does this mean Bill O'Reilly is going to start calling her the Wassiler Baby Killer?

I like your use of the word "preying" instead of "praying", regarding the actions of Palin's staff.
Palin and her staff certainly do remind me of predators, preying upon anybody and everybody, and bullying their way no matter what, to achieve their goals.
Anon 2:57. The 2007 Women's Summit was in Nevada. The home base of Women's Summit seems to be Bryant University in Rhode Island.
ReplyDeleteThat's all I know. I never heard of either of these organizations before today. And, thanks, Jesse, they are a good resource!
Someone in the GOP has got it out for Sarah, There is no way in hell she let this or many of the other emails that have showed her in her all ugliness out without redaction, I would love to be a fly on Sean Panells shoulder right now I will guarantee that Sarah is burning up his cell phone wanting to know who did this to her and why he allowed it to happen, I'm as giddy as a child on Christmas eve
ReplyDelete@2:57
ReplyDeleteyes the picture is on the FB site and some of the people are tagged.
of course she is pro-choice for herself, not anybody else. She's had two abortions that she admits to.
ReplyDeleteThinking there might be another one - to explain her dropping/flunking out of so many schools.
Wow. This is a woman who has no idea what she stands for.
ReplyDeleteO/T but I just had to share my adventure!
ReplyDeleteWith the release of Baldy's emails I haven't had a chance to see how the patients at the Asylum were doing...but tonight I took a ride on the "information Super Highway" and got off at the "Crazies4Palin" exit!
Once I arrived I had to get past a couple of security checkpoints (they have really gotten paranoid over there...Gee, I wonder why!).
I was surprised to see that a lot of the patients have adjourned to their respective rubber rooms and the few patients milling around in the dayroom seemed to be...um...a bit ANGRY!
So I listened behind a cart loaded with pastries and heard some crazy guy by the name of "Technopeasant" tell his fellow patients the reason why this country is being taken over by the "Left" is due to (hang on here...this is a direct quote and my IPod recorder almost stop working due to the foolishness that it was hearing...but I digress)...
"the Left has taken a phrase out of the Declaration of Independence, the pursuit of happiness, and perverted it to mean or connote the right to unlimited casual sex, the right to unrestrained sexual freedom, the right to absolute personal autonomy, or the right to become a hedonist or Narcissist without hindrance or prosecution"
And then the crazy guy with the wild hair and eyes and with spittle coming out of his mouth...proceeded to list 10(yes 10) reasons why.....most of the reasons were anti-women, anti-education, and of course anti-homosexuals!
Pretty much the Repub platform. He did get a few women pushing back on his comments...including a holy roller who quoted him bible passages about women being equal to men...but ole "Techno" was in the zone...so he didn't hear nothing of what she said!
Anyway...I skipped out of that dayroom and headed over to one that had only a few patients milling about...they were talking about "Game Change"...it included the crazy teacher who must have checked herself in for some more indoctrination of Baldy....Adrienne Ross!
The were still in their robes so maybe they just woke up because they were talking about an interview that McShame did and they were happy that he finally defended Baldy...Adrienne had this to say to the group...
Adrienne Ross Yesterday 09:23 PM in reply to ramorywebb
I am glad he spoke well of Gov. Palin and discussed how vilely she has been treated. He has said that before, of course. I would like to hear him specifically call out those staffers who contributed to the "Game Change" lie.
Anyway that was enough for me...I usually don't like hanging around that place for too long...plus my visitor's pass was only good for 15 minutes and I was down to 14:55 seconds!
Luckily I left when I did...because it looked like Nurse Ratchet(RAM) was coming around with everyone's next dose of medication and I certainly didn't want to get infected...um...I mean...injected!
I think the next time I head over there is when "Game Change" comes out! Because you know those fools will insist that the hospital stream it live so they can watch Julianne Moore as Baldy and relive their favorite moments of Baldy's DESTRUCTION!

ReplyDelete"Liberal advocates on women's health issues have been more vocal. They say Palin raised expectations in 2007, when she attended a summit organized by The Alliance for Reproductive Justice, a group affiliated with Planned Parenthood. According to one attendee quoted on the Planned Parenthood Web site, "we had not planned on meeting Gov. Palin, so that was a surprise. She took the time to talk with us about her own experiences as a working mother, and relayed her support for women's health."
But early hopes have been dashed by a lack of follow-through, these activists say; Palin has taken a laissez-faire approach to the issues they discussed, including children's health care, domestic violence shelters, sex education and breastfeeding in the workplace."
Lynne, thanks for your sane and sober comments.
ReplyDeleteThe idiot took 3 years of redacting, covering up and editing her emails and she still left this and many other bombshells in. Most of the stuff that got redacted is related to babygate.
ReplyDeleteSomeone needs to email this photo to Adrienne "Cucaracha" Ross with a big unhappy emoticon.
ReplyDelete@4:21
ReplyDeleteIs that you Sarah, pretending to be a hater, trying to get some sympathy?
QUESTION can anybody write Sarah a letter to encourage her kids to stay in school and not get pregnant? Maybe write a letter to Sarah and tell her college would be better than constantly pursuing reality shows for her daughters and husband.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Alaska can encourage the Palin kids to get an education instead of cases of Pampers?
"...I've already spoken to one of the principals but want to write
to each school to encourage them and offer something I think I can do personally to help
encourage their kids to stay in school...."
http://palinemail.msnbc.msn.com/palin2011/pdf/21624.pdf
Piper talking to Ivy Frye about 30 being old and she should have babies. I’m guessing Sarah never talked to her daughters that females usually wait till after they are married or establish their careers first before starting a family. They just don’t elope in the middle of the night and pop out a baby 8 months later like mom did or take high school correspondence courses through the mail because delivering a baby in 5thh period would be disruptive. Well females at least wait until they graduate high school first before they start becoming a baby factory like Sarah‘s daughters.
ReplyDelete27 year old Ivy tells Piper she is picky on who she dates? I wonder if Piper is picky about who gets her underage high school sisters pregnant?
Anyway, I don’t remember being that young like Piper and talking to an adult like that, why is she into grown folks business like the time Piper wanted her mom to pull on an employees hair?

Palin: Liar. Quitter. Hypocrite. Coward. Incompetent. Fraud.
ReplyDeleteSarah Palin is the biggest hoax in American political history.
We know, Sarah. We know.
Don't forget it.
For those who have said Sarah got a tip-off back in February 2008 that she would be McCain's nominee... I disagree. Sort of.
ReplyDeleteI do know from reading up on A.B. Culvahouse that Sarah Palin was on a list of 25-30 potential VP noms as early as February. BUT, she was at the bottom of that list, the longest of longshots. That's why they did almost no background work on her before August.
However, remember that Sarah Palin is a naive, narcissistic idiot. When she got the initial call from Culvahouse's law firm in Feb asking her to answer preliminary questions about being on a potential VP pick list, I'll just bet she thought she was a "finalist." So, she did all that cleaning up of her past, faked that pregnancy to cover over some sort of family dirt, etc.
Meanwhile, the McCain campaign had no intention whatsoever of selecting her, until they got desperate and made a few mistakes. Then they had to pick her in August. She was ready, because she had thought it would be her all along. So, I guess Sarah was right that time... for once. Heck... Even a stopped, batshit clock is right twice a day.
I do worry that her followers are going to be getting more desperate as more and more comes out about their Quitter Queen. Checking the Pee'ers, I see Dr. Leroy Shitslinger is back. He is one crazy guy:
ReplyDelete...
"We are on a collision course with DISASTER and I am beginning to wonder if even Sarah could make ANY SENSE of the disaster that awaits us.
We are getting closer to the NEXT American Revolution.The change from..."anybody but" ...to... "by any means necessary"...is getting CLOSER by the day!
I cannot IMAGINE the DANGER that Sarah would be in IF she were to climb back into the toilet bowl of (a)merican politics."
"By any means necessary"
This is the kind of lunatic that should be watched.
O/T-WikiLeaks dumped some McCain campaign 2008 e-mails tonight. Check it out!
ReplyDeleteSarah Palin actually posed for this photo? There's no way to spin this one. If she's a woman who stands on priciple, she'd SURELY have found SOME excuse to A)Not be there or B)pose for the photo on a website that promotes sex education, reproductive rights, women's rights, and sponsored by Planned Parenthood.
ReplyDeleteThen having a daughter who got pregnant out of wedlock, become the poster child for abstinance!?!?!?!?!
Does Not Compute.
To quote our Vice President, Joe O'Biden - "This is a big FUCKING deal!"
Mother Jones, Huffpo, Larry O'Donald, The View, Wonkette, ABC, NBC, CBS, not sure of Rachael, but it's worth a try, perhaps Mellissa Harris Perry, and maybe Chris Matthews are most definately getting a link to this post.
Thanks, Gryphen and IM'ers for finding this gem. Sarah's got some 'splaining to do. Can't wait for the Fox News (ha ha ha) "Spin".
Palin knew from (at least) summer of 2007 that she was under serious consideration as McCain (or Romney's) running mate to shore up "the base."
ReplyDeleteShe knew from the moment she was "vetted" by the Neo-Cons -- Bill Kristol, Dick Morris, and all the rest from the Weekly Standard and the National Review. They came on cruise ships to Alaska and all met, extensively, with Sarah.
Dick Morris took her aside for a very long private chat and, it is reported, told Palin to play up the "mavericky" angle when she campaigned. Heaven only knows what else they discussed...
Maybe this was a sort of "Annunciation Scene": "Sarah -- GOD and GOP want you to be a Special Mom to a Special Child..."
Please read "The Insiders: How McCain chose Palin" by Jane Mayer in the New Yorker Oct. 2008. It is easily found online.

About what Sarah knew and when she knew it re V.P. slot:
ReplyDeleteThe wingnut cruise to Alaska is a critical data point.
Another is the extreme dissatisfaction the religious right had with G.W. Bush. They thought he was one of them when they helped elect him, but Dubya did not pass the laws and push the culture wars topics like they wanted him to. They felt deceived by his lack of action. They have felt taken advantage of by the Republican party since the 1970's. They turned out the vote, and elected Nixon twice, Reagan twice and Bushes three times. Yet there was no theocracy, abortion and birth control had not banned, and happy people were having sex everywhere.
These folks were ready to pressure the Republican party. Either they would get their choice of V.P. or they'd tell their followers to stay home on election day. Nominating someone like John McCain (can you imagine him finishing a first term much less running for a second term?) made the v.p. slot that much more a ticket to 2012.
Look at all the Republican participants in the 2008 race. Only Mike Huckabee and Alan Keyes would not have needed an evangelical to make the religious right happy.
I am quite certain that Sarah was told that there would be an all out effort to have a evangelical v.p. nominee for the Republican ticket in 2008. She was on a short list here, and she was told this. Hello Franklin Graham and Lowell 'bud' Paxson. Not to mention all the "liberal media" pendants like Kristol and so on.
Early in 2007 it was obvious that the Democratic nominee would be either Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama. A female evangelical Republican veep nominee would counteract Hillary Clinton in their eyes, and at the same time would offset the history making candidacy of Barack Obama should that happen.
Sarah didn't have to figure this out for herself, there were plenty of helpers to tell her this. Not to mention state supported media consultants from the lower 48 where the elites live.
The ploy of calling all criticism or vetting 'religious discrimination' or 'sexism' would have been planned for, to deflect from the issues. Sarah did that just as planned. No discernable record of achievement is a plus in this case in the eyes of the Republican Party insiders. Not so much if you don't want a paranoid idiot a heartbeat from the red button. After all, what would she do when some country she has never heard of rears their heads someplace she can't even locate on a map.
Much of this was already under way before she was elected Governor in 2006. In her circles it had been talked about for years. Was she paying attention?
Cindy McCain, Laura Bush, and Betty Ford have all stated they are pro-choice. The voters were fed up with George W. Bush and no GOP candidate was going to get elected after W's 8 years.

"Can someone flag the lie in the blog 'sexy highway talk among governors' that claims Trig was in the fender bender with me- and he wasn’t in a car seat on my commute. Sheeeesh.
I WISH ADN would follow up on that one (as the blogger asks ADN to do) so that I can put that minor to rest... Rumor is Walt reported me so I fired him. What an idiot blog entry, very easy to counter with the truth when half a dozen APD cops responded and witnessed no Trig in vehicle,"
The ever faithful Frank Bailey replies:
"Definitely. I’ll get some flags in on it."

There is a hilarious string of emails between her and her posse when John Ziegler released a clip from his interview for his DVD "Media Malpractice" to YouTube. In the clip she suggests that because of class, the press will cover Caroline Kennedy's campaign differently than they covered hers. Politico and others wrote a story about it, and the Palinistas run around panicking with their hair on fire until her press guy, Bill McAllister, finally looks at the release she signed and sees that she gave Ziegler permission to do whatever he wanted. (Too bad Bill had already ripped Ziegler a new one.) Her response:

"If I signed something permitting them to release snippets and I wasn’t paying attention then I’m the biggest idiot in the world and no one else is to blame re what out of context crap comes out of this. Crap."

See? That's what we've been saying! You ARE the biggest idiot in the world.
The kicker is that AFTER all this, Meg Stapleton says,
"We need to make sure to watch the actual clip. The liberals may be taking the interview out of context rather than the doc people."

Kind of like bitching about "Game Change" without seeing it.
I posted links on a couple of HP threads but they don't work. I hope some IMers with more smarts and energy than I possess will spread this everywhere, all over. It'll help negate Palin's sick-making, oh-so-sanctimonious "I chose life" pose.
ReplyDeleteOT, but have any of you all ever seen this list i found on page 68 in the comments at the video of $arah saying Alaska was excited about Mr. Obama:
ReplyDeleteBooks Sarah Palin tried to have banned as mayor:
The Witches by Roald Dahl
The Witches of Worm by Zilpha Snyder
Then Again, Maybe I Won't by Judy Blume
To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee
Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare
Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary by the Merriam-Webster Editorial Staff
Witches, Pumpkins, and Grinning Ghosts: The Story of the Halloween Symbols by Edna Barth
Sarah Palin does not believe in evoultion and yes this is the year 2008.

Would $he really try to ban a dictionary and William Shakespeare???
Hey Sarah how come you are so quiet about your boy Newt?
ReplyDeleteThat endorsey thingy not working out for Newt?
No cabinet job for Sister Sarah.
I tracked down the date of July 31, 2008 that $arah said to Larry Kudlow that Alaskans were excited about Obama's message of hope and change.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jO6dmBm1SFw
Mr. Kudlow also asked her about a probe into one of her [early] scandals, and he also asked her if she was interested in becoming John McCain's running mate.
Her answer:
"But as for that VP talk all the time, I’ll tell you, I still can’t answer that question until somebody answers for me what is it exactly that the VP does everyday?"
It doesn't matter if she was a member or another one of her shameless photo op. she is still palling around with pro-choice people.
ReplyDeleterepugbaggers have used any pic of a repugbagger with a dem against their own. See newt and Rep. Pelosi or christie and President Obama.
my theory - I don't think Sarah is pro choice (or pro life) - she is what she needs to be for the group she is front of to get their money or their votes From comments she went to this uninvited - got free stuff (another perk she likes) and got to pretend she supported the agenda in order to get the attendees support in return
ReplyDeleteHowever, it is still damaging because it shows her lack of true belief in being pro life and that she is not sincere, confirms what we all know - she lies and cons
This photo was taken in March of 2007?
ReplyDeleteAnon@6:51- "We are getting closer to the NEXT American Revolution.The change from..."anybody but" ...to... "by any means necessary"...is getting CLOSER by the day!" This has been a given since day one - 2008 election(and prior).
ReplyDeleteThe threats, encouraging violence, propaganda re: "not one of us", "Sambo", commie, socialist, Kenyan, etc. - anything to dehumanize and degrade President Obama, inciting fear of a "takeover". All of this to make it easier to enable some nutjob the justification to "second amendment" the President.
I predict as it becomes clear that the buffoons on the GOP ticket will not win against President Obama, this "kill" rhetoric will increase in hopes that this goal will be realized. Whatever website/s or organization/s are allowing this kind or comment for public viewing should be shut down immediately - this is not free speech - it's a call for murder of out President!
Sarah Palin - if this is your support group - you need to tell them forthwith to STFU or be held liable for encouraging murder! MSM why isn't this being highlighted and tied to Sarah Palin's supporters as it should be? America needs to know THIS is the face of Palin politics!
I seriously doubt Sarah has strong convictions about any issue.
ReplyDeleteShe just doesn't give a shit.
To GinaM at 5:10PM
ReplyDeleteI love it! Awesome writeup of the insane asylum!
Hi Gryph,
ReplyDeleteJust got this email From Rep. Les Gara (who is awesome) and thought you and other AK readers would be interested. (small section of the e-mail)
--------------------------
There are two controversial bills that I want to share some information on.
First, on HJR 16 the House Finance Committee will take public testimony on a proposed constitutional amendment to use state money to pay for private schools.
I believe we should work towards a strong public school system, and that private vouchers will cause legislators to withdraw their support for our public school system – exacerbating academic underachievement.
Public testimony is scheduled for Tuesday, February 28 from 4:00 – 9:00 pm.
If you’d like to testify you can go to your Legislative Information Office (716 W 4th Ave in Anchorage), or contact Rose or Toby in my office if you are unable to go to the LIO.
Sometimes we can make special arrangements for people to call in from another location.
And there is a bill to REQUIRE WOMEN TO SEEK AN ULTRASOUND (even if they have already had one earlier in their pregnancy) that they would be asked whether they wanted to view if they sought a LEGAL FIRST TRIMESTER ABORTION.
In some cases this may be an unnecessary second ultrasound, and it seems to inject unnecessary expense and controversy into a woman’s personal choice.
There is no evidence that the Bipartisan Senate will let that bill advance, as they’ve tried to drive the middle of the road, and not focus the energy of the Legislature on divisive abortion issues in a session when we should be focusing on energy and education.
OK, now the big thing. WE NEED YOUR HELP (and e-mails and testimony).....
