quote:

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin told a capacity crowd at a National Rifle Association rally how she would baptize terrorists if she were an elected official.

"If I was in charge," Palin said in Indianapolis, "they would know, waterboarding is how we baptize terrorists."

Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, who ran against Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential election with Palin as his running mate, has spoken out against waterboarding, calling it illegal and ineffective. During the Vietnam War, McCain endured years of torture and imprisonment as a prisoner of war under the North Vietnamese.

At the NRA event Saturday, Palin said the Washington insiders who called the 2009 mass shooting at Fort Hood, Texas, a case of workplace violence "don't know what is right." That shooting was carried out by Maj. Nidal Hasan.

"Not when that evil Muslim terrorist Major Hasan massacres his fellow military soldiers at Fort Hood," she said.

Characterizing Hasan, "that devil, as a 'disgruntled employee' " is hypocritical, said Palin.

She called liberals hypocrites for their stance on issues varying from gun control to torture at the NRA event that was part of the organization's 2014 convention.

That is a relief, we are converting terrorists to Christianity by baptizing them against their will, or at least that is what Sarah Palin is saying.

Can anybody get this lady to shut the fuck up?
There are some conservative points I actually support, but this lady saying stupid shit makes it hard sometimes.

Bill Kristol, the Weekly Standard editor, said “She is now one of many Republican women who have emerged as leaders,” he said.

With near-constant internal conflicts roiling the GOP, Palin has veered right, siding with Cruz and Lee, who were vocal proponents of last year’s government shutdown and popular figures among the conservatives who donate to the Heritage Foundation.

In a phone call from Utah, Lee said the plane rides with Palin and Cruz were moments of camaraderie for the trio during which they discussed politics and talked about the state of the GOP, which they view as crippled by its tendency to lurch toward compromises with Democrats on immigration or taxes. “She makes no secret about the way she views the world,” he said.

As she grows closer to Cruz and Lee, Palin is finding her best-attended rallies this year have been with them. “Sarah may have been the Led Zeppelin for conservatives, but Cruz is the Beatles,” said Steve Deace, a conservative talk-radio host based in Iowa.

Todd Palin, who was leaning against an olive-colored wall Sunday as his wife spoke, is not fretting about her political future.

When asked whether she might jump into the 2016 presidential race, four years after crushing the dream of Singleton and those like him, he dipped his head, smiled and softly said, “I don’t know.”

A number of posters in this section have continually defended her, insisting she's qualified for VP/President and that her positions are realistic.

Any with a three digit iq?

No, I don't think anyone can. Now you could always ignore her, but I honestly doubt that will happen either. After all, as long as she can be used to make the right look like idiots, she is still useful to the left.

I've always wondered how she ended up being picked to run as McCain's running mate in 2008, which is what put her in the national spotlight in the first place. And then I would wonder why she's still there. Why don't the media ever show the smartest people from both sides, liberals and conservatives?

Why don't the major political parties ever bring their best and brightest to the forefront and groom them for the top posts? Why do they keep throwing us the dregs and party hacks each election? Even if they lose, the media keep recycling them and resurrecting them like they're supposed to be "elder statesmen" or something.

Politicians are something not unlike news anchors. They're just paid to sit there and look pretty while reading words and ideas written by somebody else. Or maybe they're more like ventriloquists' dummies. But I'd still wonder why they would pick those dummies.

The real "dummies" are the voters and viewers who keep putting up with this.
