Funny how, when their feeble arguements are exposed for the BS that it is, the GOP supporters always grasp for the patriotism card. This is a debate gambit that was pioneered in the 1930s in germany.

Dont know, and dont particularly care in 2008. If I were a democrat voter and this were the 1940s, it might be something to consider. Typical change of subject from mcsame/palins obvious shortcomings.

I dont say she was a member. The salon article does not say it either - it just illustrates how she rubbed shoulders with virulent AIP racists and gun nut seccesionists to further her own tawdry ambitions.

Yes I agree Michelle Malkin is very unhinged. Isnt she the one who argued the positive points of US internment in concentration camps of US citizens with Japanese heritage in the 1940s?

And what about professor palins connections to the alaska independence party and her attempts to put to looniest of them, Steve Stoll (AKA "Black Helicopter Steve") into her vacated city council seat? And her addressing the 2008 AIP meeting? Talk about extremists....

There is your problem. There is not one shred of evidence to say this, and enourmous recent evidence directly against it based on the tenor of the recent mcsame rallies - shrieks of "bomb him, kill obama" from the fun rabid redneck types in attendance. When they say "I dont want no A-rab" - its just a euphemisic tool handed to them by the mcsame/palin dirty campaign marketers to make it slightly more palatable for them to reject someone based on color of skin. mcsame is using deeply divisional tactics and leveraging persistant racist ideas among the less educated masses. He demonstrate absolutely zero honor by doing so, and shows himslef utterly unfit to lead a boy scout troop, nevermind a country.

Its funny to see the right wing nut jobs get so unhinged over Obama's obviously out-classing, out-thinking, and out-debating their tired "war hero" who has demonstrated zero honor. Especially fun are the recent video captures of the GOP "core" constituents spluttering gems like: "Ah aint votin' fer no obama....he's a A-rab!" They should just come out of their KKKlosets and admit what you really object to.

I think John McCain is a coward for this nonsense BS - if it were otherwise, he would bring his contrived issues up with Obama in the debate - to his face. He just leaves dirty work for his junior attack dog know-nothing palin, so he can maintain some plausible deniability. This is just more demonstration of the fact that being a "war hero", surviving an enemy prison camp, etc is no guarantee of future honorable behavior.
Look (and weep) at the results of this BS campaign upon an admittedly already-ignorant electorate: http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=KjxzmaXAg9E

These debates are a distraction. As in previous elections, the race will be decided by how well-executed the right wing fanatics vote theft is.

I think Matt Taibbi summed the issue of Palin quite well, and the reasons so many despise her....
"...Sarah Palin is a symbol of everything that is wrong with the modern United States. As a representative of our political system, she’s a new low in reptilian villainy, the ultimate cynical masterwork of puppeteers like Karl Rove. But more than that, she is a horrifying symbol of how little we ask for in return for the total surrender of our political power. Not only is Sarah Palin a fraud, she’s the tawdriest, most half-assed fraud imaginable, 20 floors below the lowest common denominator, a character too dumb even for daytime TV – and this country is going to eat her up, cheering every step of the way. All because most Americans no longer have the energy to do anything but lie back and allow ourselves to be jacked off by the calculating thieves who run this grasping consumer paradise we call a nation....."

Really? This topic is addressed in the US Constitution?
Confusing, but it sounds like you think some people who know about issues or are property owners are somehow barred from voting in the US. If true, this would be unfair and should be avoided via amending the Constitution. Is that what you are saying?
You are just kidding, right? This is like a Borat routine where you say patently absurd things to get comical reactions. Right?
FFS ....... Are you a character who somehow magically escaped from the pages of an Ayn Rand novel?

He may be gone, but his words are still 100% relevant here:

Why oh why do the Japanese like to use messed up english based on suggestions from Japanese "english specialists" who are hardpressed to speak english? Is it so hard to get an opinion of a native speaker before they launch these clunky engrish blurbs?

Yes but these guys are parading around and annoying the peace in Tokyo, the largest city in japan. How long would a KKK rally in, say, NYC go on before the citizen and the cops (in cooperation for once) busted the rednecks up?
These guys need to be reeled in with "quality of life" laws that restrict absurd sound trucks - they are a major embarrasment for Japan.
