After seeing one handful of slime after another being cast at Governor Palin every day, your crocodile tears over 'journalistic integrity' are nothing but laughable. Huffington Post... [sm=biggrin.gif]

Adding a little balance makes you lose respect? How much respect...

LaTigresse -> RE: Palin imposed fees on sexual assault victims. (9/15/2008 8:41:59 AM)
Given some of the close mindedness I've seen on the political threads lately, respect is not something I feel for many around here.

So let me see if I understand this. The claims are being made by ex Gov Knowles that Wasilla (he doesn't mention all of the other towns of the state) were following a law passed under his administration. Not only that but other Dems in Alaska are blaming Gov Palin for instituting the policy when she was Mayor of Wasilla. Does that about sum this up?

quote: ORIGINAL: HeavansKeeper The book banning thing is a low blow: Here's how I understand it. When she was mayorizing Wasilla, she went to the public library and asked about how to ban books. The librarian, a Ms. Mary Ellen Baker, said "You cannot." (Or something to that effect.) Mary Ellen Baker was fired for "not cooperating with the mayor." Mary Ellen Baker gets reinstated as a librarian. There were no specific books mentioned, and no books ended up banned. CBS + Palin and Book Banning It's not a deal breaker for the woman, true - but it is something to consider when looking at what she values about freedom. Governor Palin: "How can I ban books from the library ?" You cannot. "You're fired. "How can I get that asshole of an ex-brother-in-law off the police force ?" You cannot. "You're fired." What's next ? "How can I get democrats off the voter registration ?" You cannot. "You're fired." Sounds like she's still learning but a quick study and another fascist-in-the-making to me.

Anybody see the piece that Jon Stewart did on Palin's support of her daughter having a child out of wedlock? (OK, this is from memory...) His comment was that on Palin's expressed viewpoint- "The family stands behind Bristol's decision to have this baby." was bang on. Decision implies choice- and choice is what would be removed from the equation if abortion becomes illegal-which is Sarah Ps viewpoint. So if Sarah P. gets her way (she's anti-abortion), the statement becomes, "Yes, my 17 year old daughter is going to have a baby because that's what the gov't says." The rest of you folks- well, if you're too poor to go to Europe to have an abortion- who cares what you think? It seems that the picture of who she is gets a little clearer when you tie it in with the story on rape kits. There's more than a whiff of the old- "If she wasn't askin' for it, she wouldn't have gotten raped." in this decision to make women pay for their own rape kits. I suspect that this attitude goes a long way to explain the number of rapes in Alaska. In both cases, Sarah P. comes off as cruel, heartless, and unable to see how her decisions could affect someone else. She took for granted her choice in whether or not to support her daughters decision to have the baby- a choice that she would remove from others if she had her way. In terms of rape kits- she hasn't been raped- so what's the problem? I'm beginning to see where the sobriquet of "Sarah Barracuda" comes from. Sam

No, this doesn't sum it up, but you know that - you know how to read.

Putting out a hit would be a service to the country? Wow. Really? Imagine someone saying that about Obamessiah.

quote: ORIGINAL: kittinSol No, this doesn't sum it up, but you know that - you know how to read. What am I missing? The charges were leveled by Knowles and other Dems were they not? This was a state wide (national policy until 2005) until 2000. Oh I know what I missed... the budget cut for not having the kits on hand was done by the Police commissioner. I also stayed away from the comments by Gov Palin on the issue. quote: Palin spokeswoman Maria Comella said in an e-mail that the governor "does not believe, nor has she ever believed, that rape victims should have to pay for an evidence-gathering test." "Gov. Palin's position could not be more clear," she said. "To suggest otherwise is a deliberate misrepresentation of her commitment to supporting victims and bringing violent criminals to justice." Comella would not answer other questions, including when Palin learned of Wasilla's policy or whether she tried to change it. The campaign cited the governor's record on domestic violence, including increasing funding for shelters. So please enlighten me.

Huffington Post... [sm=biggrin.gif] Nobody's crying, but I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling a little sorry for you - the Huffy's story has been picked on by numerous news sources now. That you choose to ignore all these other news sources as well, just because their reporting disturbs your world view is an indictment on you, not on us. Just to remind you... The Boston Herald , The Anchorage Daily News USA Today . Don't swallow too much sand.

There was even a poster (who has thankfully gone AWOL for now) who invoked James Earl Ray's memory with longing and hope, so Tigresse's harmless joke doesn't go unappreciated.

Methinks my dry humour goes largely unappreciated.

Calling for the death (a 'hit" as you put it) of someone over a political disagreement won't garner much respect for you or your causes, either. quote: ORIGINAL: LaTigresse Given some of the close mindedness I've seen on the political threads lately, respect is not something I feel for many around here.

No La T it certainly doesnt:)

Oh, it's "humor" for someone on your side to call for a political hit... I see. quote: ORIGINAL: LaTigresse Methinks my dry humour goes largely unappreciated.

Sanity, try to pull the cob out of your arse once in awhile. It would be far more comfy for you. As for respect on here........those that won't, I wouldn't want it anyway. Win win for me.

Sanity -> RE: Palin imposed fees on sexual assault victims. (9/15/2008 9:28:12 AM)
LOL, you'd have a cob up yours if the call for the "hit" were on the other candidate...
