(CNN) -- The Republican Party of Pennsylvania launched a
last-minute television ad that calls attention to Barack Obama's relationship with
the Rev. Jeremiah Wright…
Sen. John McCain
has repeatedly said he does not believe Obama's relationship to Wright should
be an issue -- to the ire of some Republicans who feel it raises questions about
the Illinois senator's judgment.
Gov. Sarah Palin
appeared to suggest last month that Wright is a fair issue to raise, but said
ultimately it is McCain's decision.
"[Obama]
sat in the pews for 20 years and heard Rev. Wright say some things that most
people would find a bit concerning. But again that is John McCain's call,"
Palin told reporters.
What's truly funny about this--and only because the American people are going deport Sarah Palin back to the People's Socialist Republic of Alaska on Tuesday--is that here is the same Governor Brainsurgeon, who is idiotically concerned about the First Amendment implications of people writing newspaper articles she doesn't like, saying that American citizens should be judged and held accountable for things they hear.
I mean, yes, there's also the whole thing about John McCain once again--as he did with Bush's irresponsible tax cuts, immigration, special interest lobbying, negative campaigning, and basically every issue he's ever put forth an opinion about-- showing steady leadership by completely reversing himself for crass political gain.
But I don't care about that. That's how you earn your stripes in the modern Gee Oh Pee. You have to be on both sides of every issue so you can always be prepared to hysterically attack your opponent, even when he agrees with you.
Fourteen years ago, I could be amazed that Republicans would have the nuts to display such shameless contempt for Americans by proposing a Constitutional Amendment to balance the budget after spending the preceding fourteen years telling Americans that deficits don't matter.
But these days, when I read that Michelle Malkin is writing indignant opinion articles about how private citizen Joe The Plumber's privacy was invaded because he had the temerity to express a political opinion, after she personally led a public investigation into the Frost family for expressing a political opinion, I pretty much shrug my shoulders and say, "Well, she's a world class scumbag. And she makes a living writing for people like her. What did you expect her to write? Something that makes sense?"
So I don't care about that.
What's entirely disgusting about the Country First party and it's base energizing special needs Vice Presidential candidate is this whole idea that Americans now are accountable for who they know, who they work with, who lives in their neighborhood, what church they go to(which is also actually kind of funny because Sarah Palin goes to a church that had a witch doctor come in and pray over her), and, now, what things they hear.
Not even what they say. Just things they allow themselves to hear.
What's next? Are Americans going to be held accountable for things they read?
Maybe so, since the "Patriot" Act allows the federal government to look into what books you check out at the library. Maybe the federal government can look into what books you buy from Border's or Amazon. Who knows? We don't. Since a bunch of that publicly paid for legislation is classified.
This shithead, Sarah Palin, with her repugnant ideas, this is where the Gee Oh Pee is excited to go?
An America where you better be careful who your friends are? Who you work with? What you hear?
That's the kind of America these cretins think this country needs to become to save us from the evils of 39% top marginal rate taxing Obama styled socialism?
Dear Gee Oh Pee: please stop running morons to run our country. It's becoming very, very expensive and dangerous.
And when one finally goes "rogue", it won't just be your hated liberals who wind up in Room 101 with a head cage full of rats. That's not the way it works.
They grow ever more Stalinist with each passing day.
I used to find it cynically entertaining that the party that collectively shits it's pants over "commies" (and wants you to do the same) is the one that comes up with totalitarian ideas like DHS taking your laptop if they feel like it, spying on the emails and phone calls from deployed service members, and generally acting like the world's worst bully is the newest, best-est thing for preserving True Murikan Values.
I used to find it amusing, but I moved way past that feeling a long time ago; I've moved on to thinking we'd better stop these bastards while we still have a country worth living in.

Said the radio call in pranksters that fooled Palin for an entire 6 min conversation this week into thinking she was talking with French president Sarkozy (and with one of the more "anglofied" sounding accents I've heard in awhile by the way ...sounded like that damn Pizza Hut commercial "wooould yooou lak tooo tri choucolat duunkair?")
"When we started to work on the idea last Tuesday, we thought it would be mission impossible. But after about a dozen calls, we started to realize it might work, because her staff didn't know the name of the French President. They asked us to spell it,"
