Politics / Woods 'This Girl's Gonna Get Ya!'
Posted by Jeff Woods on Thu, Sep 4, 2008 at 9:48 AM
"Parents know that their kids are not perfect. And they know that even perfect parents can have troubled kids. The Rev. and Mrs. Billy Graham, I presume, were okay parents, but their son, Franklin Graham, sure broke their hearts a number of times. The fact is parents are not their children, especially when those children are old enough not to come under a parent’s watchful eye every moment."And there's this praise of Palin that just landed in my inbox from Sandy Froman, former NRA president:
"This tough Western woman refuses to take a back seat. This woman who knows how to look down the barrel of a gun and gut an animal in the wilderness is not afraid that she’ll break her nail when she punches some deserving opponent right between the eyes in a political brawl. She’s demonstrated that grit and determination in pummeling the former Republican governor out of office, felling the former Alaska attorney general, and dispatching the former Alaska GOP chairman. Do you think those men rolled over? Do you think they graciously conceded? No, they fought her tooth and nail, and she beat them into the ground. The sexist commentators denigrating her right now are destined for the same fate. Watch out, boys. This girl’s gonna get ya!"Something tells me right-wingers have more reasons to like Palin than her expertise with a hunting knife. As People for the American Way points out:
During Palin's short tenure in public office, she's demonstrated her commitment to their ultra-conservative policies. In her two years as governor, Palin has: * Opposed reproductive freedom even in cases of rape and incest and appointed an anti-choice judge to the Alaska Supreme Court to reverse pro-choice decisions of the Court * Supported teaching creationism in public school science classes * Opposed providing same-sex partner benefits to state employees and supported efforts to put a constitutional amendment denying benefits on the state ballot * Supported taking control of funds for social service grants away from municipalities and giving them to the state office of faith based initiatives instead.Wonder why Palin didn't mention any of that stuff in her speech? I feel so used. Update: Now we learn that some of what Sarah said wasn't true. Oh my God.

Hey, uuumh, you know that is a photoshop, right?
You wouldn't want folks to think you were some kind of partisan hack, would you?

Yup, that photo is indeed fake, just like Palin's fake record as a "reformer":

(I really love that Nowhere, Alaska t-shirt on Sarah. Maybe she can wear it tonight).
Interesting citations, Scotty. It goes without saying that BO does have a stellar record as a community organizer.
By the way, what the hell is a community organizer anyway?
"what the hell is a community organizer anyway?"
It's a glorified title for a leftist political agitator.
Where the hell was her flag pin last night? Isn't she patriotic?
And what was that Republicans were saying before about the Obama cult of personality?
I think her friends had better watch out: she's probably a better shot than Cheney but she has all of his other characteristics.
Here's what Wikipedia says: "Community organizing is a process by which people are brought together to act in common self-interest. While organizing describes any activity involving people interacting with one another in a formal manner, much community organizing is in the pursuit of a common agenda. Many groups seek populist goals and the ideal of participatory democracy. Community organizers create social movements by building a base of concerned people, mobilizing these community members to act, and developing leadership from and relationships among the people involved.
Community organizers act as area-wide coordinators of all the programs of different agencies so as best to meet community needs for health and welfare services. They also facilitate self-help programs initiated by local common-interest groups, for example, by training local leaders to analyze and solve the problems of a community. Community organizers work actively, as do other types of social workers, in community councils of social agencies and in community-action groups. At times the role of community organizers overlaps that of the social planners."
Translation: COMMUNISM! Makes perfect sense because all Democrats are COMMIES!
Idea for the Scene: a story about some of Nashville's community organizers and their accomplishments. Might be good fodder for more GOP mockery.
"Many groups seek populist goals and the ideal of participatory democracy."
Except when it comes to things like ballot referendums to allow the people to vote on "English only" laws.
In that case, "participatory democracy" must be avoided at all costs.
LOL
