Does C&L cache 'waiting moderation' posts which never appear ?,
I posted about Sarah Palin (earlier this week in an open thread) and the scrubbed sermon webpage from the Wasilla AoG church.

Ed Kalinins:

… preached that critics of President Bush will be banished to hell; questioned whether people who voted for Sen. John Kerry in 2004 would be accepted to heaven; charged that the 9/11 terrorist attacks and war in Iraq were part of a war "contending for your faith;" and said that Jesus "operated from that position of war mode."

This is worth following up, the Wayback Machine has the cache for 05/06

I watched it last night, to see Palin. the whole fucking hall is occupied by brain sucking aliens.

I don't want any reaching across the aisle by Dems except to slap the handcuffs on that freedom hating and anti-democratic collection of criminals and misfits.

yellowdog's picture

I've even turned off the TV - even KO.

I can no longer watch so called professionals gush and swoon incessantly over the snarkiest speech I've seen since the last Republican convention. The only thing Palin didn't do was snort milk.

If I knew Buchanan wouldn't be squealing his praises, I'd watch just to see and hear Rachel's commentary.

Huh? Obey? WTF do they mean by this? Obey McCain? Obey the Repuglicans? A play of Obama's name? Really, can someone please explain this to me? Thanks in advance.

I think they have to talk about:

-terrorism
-liberals
-drilling
-freeing oil rich nations
-abortion
-guns

to make them cheer. Kind of odd. Nice to know they are so loving and caring.

JohnnyThief @ 354:

Mature Audience @ 92:

The Bible, Mr. Kalnins said in an interview, foretells world events. "I don't think it's God's will to have a war," he says. But in Iraq, America is fighting an enemy that has made it a war over beliefs, he said. "I really think it is a holy war. It's a war of gods. ... When someone fights in the name of God, that becomes a holy war."

Mr. Kalnins is an enthusiastic supporter of "Governor Sarah," as he calls her, and of President George W. Bush, who, he believes, was put in office by the hand of the divine. "I believe criticisms come from hell. God has placed this man in authority. ... You criticize the authority, you're literally bringing in hell with the criticism."

Odd, since throughout the 3500 years that the 66 books of the Bible spans, God is constantly bitching about humans wanting human leaders. The Bible is MORE for the separation of church & state than the Constitution is, & it certainly is,...

Just once, I want one of these fuctards to read the Book they keep trying to enslave people with.

Amen to that!

I was having a burger and a beer in a south suburban Chicago bar. Minding my own business when a GOPer started spouting out. He says he has an email about how Obama is going to take everyone's guns away and close 90% of the guns shops. I gave him the WTF look as did a few others but the message is clear. The GOP is saying anything to win this election. I agree with the website which has been set up to denounce the false claims but I think Obama needs to make a commercial which says, definitively, what he will NOT do as President. The redneck vote may not matter but when they are free advertisers of the GOP lies, something needs to be done.

researcher's picture

"This is deplorable. I was under the impression that this blog was run by an honest to God Republican, but instead it's the domain of moral relativists. We Christians have worked for years to fight Godlessness and during this struggle we have made firm allies with the Rpeublican party while doing so. It has become clear to Americans that the Republican party is the one that will restore morality, uphold the family, and enshrine the idea that what the first amendment really does is ensure FREEDOM OF CHRISTIAN DENOMINATION. The writers of the constitution were all Christians and recognized that Christianity is the only real religion that exists. They were only talking about faith in Jesus when they wrote those lines. But here is a Republican and a gallery of approving rouges that has taken the hand-holding position with blasphemers, atheists, and sodomites. You are all disgusting people who have turned so far from the Word that you think you can get to paradise any way you please. I have news for you. Jesus did not die on the cross for nothing.

If you reacted to that video tape the way I did, I apologize. It is a subject of great pain for many of us still and was probably not appropriate to be shown."

I just saw the Yahoo! headline that said McCain intends to attack Obama's experience, call for end of partisan rancor. Is that sorta like, "Gotcha last?"
Also, as I remember it, Obama rocked the shit at the convention. He was specific about everything. He was positive about himself and his stance. He was critical of the other side, but he was respectful and HONEST. The gop freaked the hell out and shrieked about a "negative" and "partisan" speech. This is why they lose us independents.

It's because they're douchebags.

Palin had a 20% ownership in an Anchorage car wash business, according to state corporation records filed in 2004. Palin failed to report her stake in the company when running for governor in 2006.

Pat Buchannon who said a few months ago that "McCain makes cheney look like Ghandi" just said he doesn't know how a Democracy can survive year after year of all this negativity.
Why the hell does he support McMedia then? Obama hasn't run a negative campaign and wants to change this. If you saw any of the RNC last night you saw which party is destroying democracy.

Huckabee just said we don't elect a president (lower case until it means something again) by experience but by judgment and apparently he thinks "Sarah Mean and Small" has it. Again, why then is this asshole supporting McCain? He was wrong about the war/occupation. He is wrong about the tax cuts. He was wrong about timetables. He was wrong about talking to your enemies.

It's enough to make you pull out your hair.

Dude... good photoshop.

I actually fell for it (I wouldn't put it past the Republicans at this point)

Showing the 9/11 footage at the RNC now. Be scared.

How screwed are republicans when John McCain is the best person they have to offer up?

Think about it, that is all they have!

All they can roll on is:
-fear
-tax cuts
-war
-anti abortion
-zealots

Absolutely screwed.

They're blantantly, shamelessly playing the fear of anything with a turban factor as their "tribute" to the 911 victims.

Yeah, I had to read the comments here to know for sure it was a fake...

They'll never let it happen again.

Once was enough.

Obama's campaign received over $10 million since Palin spoke. He ought to double that after McCain speaks.

I wonder if they have a map of where all the minorities are sitting. It's like playing duck, duck, goose. There are only like 13 in there, they have to know who they are. I wouldn't be surprised if they bussed them in there like China did with the cheer squads at low attended events

What is this with someone holding a sign behind Blitzer saying "Hispanics (heart) McCain"? I don't know any Hispanics who (heart) McCain in any way. Is this their ploy to make us think there are actually some minorities there?

truthout.org article from APress
With the convention still abuzz, the list of potentially embarrassing details grew Tuesday:

Palin sought pork-barrel projects for her city and state, contrary to her reformist image.
Her husband once belonged to a fringe political group in Alaska with some members supporting secession from the United States.
A private attorney has been authorized to spend $95,000 to defend her against accusations of abuse of power.
She has acknowledged smoking marijuana in the past.

KO was absolutely right .. that video was repugnant! .. the only way McCain can win is to exploit fear and anxiety.

I heard on NPR that there was 1% Black population at the RNC.... why do they keep panning over each one of them during C. McCain's speech?

She keeps stumbling in her speech.

What's wrong with the assistant who's supposed to keep pulling her string?
