			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- sphereit start --><p>Seein&#8217; as how you&#8217;re so religious and all, Gov. Palin, I thought you might want to hear what the Word has to say about your recent behavior:</p>
<blockquote><p>24 A malicious man disguises himself with his lips,<br />
       but in his heart he harbors deceit.</p>
<p> 25 Though his speech is charming, do not believe him,<br />
       for seven abominations fill his heart.</p>
<p> 26 His malice may be concealed by deception,<br />
       but his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2026:24-26;&#038;version=31;">Proverbs 26:24-26, NIV</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Now&#8230;I know it says &#8220;man&#8221;. But it applies to women too.  And it even applies to mavericky straight-talkin&#8217; wolf-shootin&#8217; witch-chasin&#8217; women like you.  Cuz after all, Gov. Palin, if you&#8217;re such a straight-talker and all, you should know better than to <a href="http://voices.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008/10/06/in_fla_palin_goes_for_the_roug.html">tell lies</a> like you&#8217;ve been telling.</p>
<p>But you know you can tell lies and get away with it, don&#8217;t you?  That&#8217;s the fault of the ignorant, booing, cheerleading pompom-wearing idiots who like their facts covered in a <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/10/06/AR2008100602935.html?nav=emailpage">big pile of bullshit</a> tailor made for their appetites.</p>
<p>What you and your war-hero-turned-dishonorable-demagogue running mate need to know is this: When you incite threats, hate and violence by telling lies, God doesn&#8217;t like it. He&#8217;s not inclined to be on your side.</p>
<p>When you and your hate-mongering dishonorable running-mate <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/10/06/AR2008100602935.html?nav=emailpage">say things</a> like this:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;This is not a man who sees America the way you and I see America,&#8221; she told the Clearwater crowd. &#8220;I&#8217;m afraid this is someone who sees America as imperfect enough to work with a former domestic terrorist who had targeted his own country.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>&#8230;you expose your wickedness in the assembly.</p>
<p>God&#8217;s got some stuff to say to you, but I doubt you&#8217;re listening, Governor Palin. So <a href="http://queenofspainblog.com/2008/10/06/enough-is-enough/">my friends</a> and I are going to say it instead, as plainly and straight-talky as we possibly can.  Only, we have the sense to leave the hate speech at the door.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what my Twitter friend Zik <a href="https://twitter.com/zik/statuses/949867755">says</a>: </p>
<blockquote><p>When you drive a crowd into a racist froth, and incite them to want to kill the next president you don&#8217;t get to seperate yourself from them.</p></blockquote>
<p>That&#8217;s right, gun totin&#8217; gal. You don&#8217;t.  And let&#8217;s be clear &#8212; you and your dishonorable running-mate associate yourself with some of the <a href="http://thinkprogress.org/2008/10/06/mccain-abotion-bombers/">most destructive domestic terrorists</a> of our time.  Not just associate &#8212; SUPPORT.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s right, Governor Palin. Your running-mate voted to PROTECT domestic terrorists.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s be clear on where I stand on this:</p>
<p>When you and your dishonorable running-mate look the other way when death threats, slander and hate speech are shouted out at your rallies, it is the same as doing it yourself. There is no difference.</p>
<p>when you and your dishonorable running-mate choose to tell <a href="http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/dishonorable.html">outright lies</a> about Senator Obama in an effort to stir up hate and fanatical nationalism, it is the same as if you had done it yourself. There is no difference.</p>
<p>When you and your dishonorable running-mate make sly racial references intended to send a dog whistle to the hate groups in this country that you are willing to be as racist as they, you ARE as racist as they. There is no difference.</p>
<p>IF you and your dishonorable running-mate succeed in whipping the frenzy to such a state that violence is threatened or carried out against Senator Obama or anyone associated with his campaign, volunteer or paid&#8230;</p>
<p>I will. not. rest. until I have done everything in my power to make sure you have no power ever again. Or that anyone associated with you has any power ever again. I will not rest until I have found a way to reach as many churches as I can and convince them to denounce your unpatriotic, dangerous and violent acts of treason on our country with your lies, malice and &#8216;abominations&#8217;.  I will spend every last dollar I have making sure that the truth comes out about you and your dishonorable and dishonored running-mate.</p>
<p>Those things I will do because I&#8217;m human.  God, on the other hand, may hold you accountable. You have one option to mitigate that.</p>
<p>Repent.</p>
<p>Today.</p>
<p>Repent.</p>
<p>Turn away, confess how wrong you are, and&#8230;</p>
<p>Make it right.  </p>
<p>Otherwise, you&#8217;re accountable and responsible, and I will exercise my right as a citizen of this country to hold you responsible.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- sphereit start --><p>When an MSNBC anchor is suspended for 2 weeks for using the term &#8220;pimping Chelsea&#8221; and this evil excuse for a human being named <a href="http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/5/25/15389/8576/115/522617">Liz Trotta</a> is doing THIS (please watch it, it&#8217;s only 15 seconds or so), it&#8217;s a real statement on how devoid of all human decency and morality the Faux News Network has become:</p>
<div class="youtube-video"><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/BjYpkvcmog0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/BjYpkvcmog0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object></div>
<p>Here&#8217;s the transcript:</p>
<p><span style="font-style: italic;">    Trotta: …and now we have what some are reading—as a suggestion that somebody knock off Osama , umm, ah… Obama, well both if we could…haha…</p>
<p>    Q) Talk about how you really feel?</span></p>
<p>Write to the FCC and <a href="http://www.dailykos.com/comments/2008/5/25/15389/8576/896#c896">Fox News</a>, and <a href="http://www.debone.com/boycottFoxNewsSponsors.html">boycott their advertisers</a>, please.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re concerned at all that the statement was taken out of context (it wasn&#8217;t), <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8T5eDDL1WuM">here&#8217;s a link</a> to a longer clip.</p>
<p>I could go on and on and on about how outrageous this is, but I won&#8217;t.  It was a toss-off, a signal and sign of how nasty, mean-spirited and evil the mouthpieces of the Republicans have gotten, and it should not stand.</p>
<p>I see that a commenter on the Daily Kos diary has notified the Secret Service. Good. Because this goes beyond freedom of speech.  This is shouting fire in a very crowded, very contentious room, and Rupert Murdoch and Fox should lose their license and right to broadcast for a very long time.</p>
<p>Oh, and yes, Liz Trotta should also be fired.</p>
