Deranged Hollywood Moonbat Roseanne Barr on Palin:
She is all tied up with the mormon aryan polygymyst insurance cryo-biological, monsanto genetically- engineering oil drillin' and homosexual curin' transexual operation pioneering money that runs the wild wild west.
What's the difference between a pit bull and the now-famous hockey mom from the RNC? One's a vicious, jacked-up bitch that likes to kill animals. The other one is a dog.
This has been Roseanne, your guide to the world of Hollywood derangement.

Sarah Palin, literally the left's worst nightmare.
I rarely remember my dreams, but for the past week, GOP vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin has been haunting me. Night after night, she appears in my dreams, always as a scolding, ominous figure.
When I mentioned my Palin dreams to Slate colleagues, they volunteered their own. One Obama-supporting colleague dreamed she had urged her young son to kill Palin with a string bean. Another dreamed she was at a fashion show and Palin served her crème fraîche on little scooped corn chips. A third says, "In the Sarah Palin dream I keep having, she has superhuman powers but is not really a person at all. In fact, she is more like the weather with glasses and an up-do, pushing clouds around and pitching lightning bolts."

"GAYS" ARE UPSET BECAUSE SARAH PALIN’S CHURCH WANTS TO SAVE THEM?
Excuse me, but what’s wrong with these people?
Don’t “gays” have enough to worry about? Now they’re all exercised over Governor Sarah Palin’s church, the Wasilla Bible Church, and its efforts to convert them to normalcy: http://news.aol.com/elections/article/palins-church-promotes-gay-conversion/165471?icid=200100397×1208835546x1200532764.
I must not get it. There’s so much antipathy in this country toward homosexuals and yet good people who want to end that antipathy by getting “gays” to return to normal lives are castigated for trying to “pray away the gay.”
I realize that at least some “gays” don’t wish to convert or be saved and consider such efforts as discriminatory but why oppose those who wish to convert them, unless they have sincere doubts as to their life choice?
Governor Palin hasn’t commented publically on the issue so it seems to me this is just another effort to unfairly isolate her in an anti-homosexual corner in order to win votes for Obama. Since he has the "gay" vote locked up anyway, why all the fuss?
“I think gay Republicans are going to run away” if Palin supports efforts like the prayers to convert gays, said Wayne Besen, founder of the New York-based Truth Wins Out, a gay rights advocacy group.
I think there are relatively few “gays” in Alaska anyway so what’s Besen’s point? Where are they going to run? Alabama?
If acceptance by the straight world is their ultimate goal, the best route for a "gay" guy to take is to get out in the Alaskan woods and hunt, shoot, and field dress a moose.

A POTPOURRI OF LEFTIST MOANS AND GROANS
For your reading pleasure, I humbly present a collection of articles from Salon.com, a liberal website in which, if you listen carefully, you can hear the early death throes of the Obama campaign.
I assume this first one is supposed to be a satire by Salon’s Mortimer Hayden Smyth, http://open.salon.com/content.php?cid=16427, although Smyth’s deadpan lacks any real humor. It’s a 7 + minute video of Smyth ostensibly lauding Governor Palin as he snidely ridicules her. Feel free to fast forward and do look at the comments by his fan clubbbers who call him a god and their hero. I still much prefer Jonathan Swift, or is it Swyft?
Here, Salon’s Editoress in Chief, Joan Walsh tries to cheer up Obama’s despondent troops by expounding on the ephemeral nature of Sarah Palin’s popularity: http://www.salon.com/opinion/walsh/election_2008/2008/09/09/bounce/. She concludes with some wishful thinking: ”Palin’s glow will fade, much like Obama’s did, and people will go back to looking for solutions, not a superstar. It’s time for Obama to show he has them.” By “them,” I believe she’s referring to solutions. If she’s referring to the other “them,” she must have forgotten that the “Reverend” Jackson already cut them off.
In “Why Democrats Shouldn’t Worry About McCain’s Bounce–Yet,” Paul Maslin also tries to perk up the trench-dwellers as he dourly looks at the poll numbers which must be giving the Obamaniacs diarrhea: http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2008/09/09/mccain_bounce/. Try as he might to perk them, the numbers say it all:...

I was digging around for something else and I came across this gem of an editorial from the NY Daily News. This is from a few weeks ago, so my apologies if this has shown up here already.
Why isn't BHO beating the pants off of John McCain? Because whites associate "affirmative action" with "unqualified" (and because of racism, of course). Gee, another liberal initiative comes back to bite them in the ass. Weird, yeah?
Mayer [ed: the author], an associate professor at George Mason University, is the author of the book "Running on Race: Racial Politics in Presidential Campaigns, 1960-2000.
Well, that explains a lot.

This is rich: A dancer gets his panties in a wad (literally: look at his picture) because he was asked to do some dance moves. Israeli security asked for this to prove his identity at Israel's international airport.
The reporter's cognitive dissonance becomes evident by the lines [emphasis added]:
Israel is famous for the effectiveness of its airport security.
Here it is...
But a key element in its security checks is ethnic profiling. The practice has been criticized by Israeli human rights campaigners as racist because it singles out Arabs for tougher treatment.
What a coincidence. World famous for their effectiveness and they racially profile. Who'd a thunk it?
He should count himself lucky he didn't fall into the hands of a band of "peaceful middle-east freedom fighters" or else he'd be doing a different kind of dance.

McCain camp angry over Obama's 'lipstick' comment
"You can put lipstick on a pig," he said to an outbreak of laughter, shouts and raucous applause from his audience, clearly drawing a connection to Palin's joke. "It's still a pig. You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called change. It's still going to stink after eight years."
[Yeah, that should play well with Hillary's 18 million already miffed supporters.]
In Virginia, a questioner asked Obama to join Republicans and agree that candidates' families and religion are off limits. Palin's pregnant teenage daughter and the teachings of her church, the nondenominational Wasilla Bible Church, have been the subject of scrutiny since McCain picked her as his running mate.
[Meanwhile, the Black Liberation Theology of Obama's church of 20 God d*mn years remains a total unknown.]

Streisand compares experience of 2-year Governor Palin with half-year Senate Obama
On her Website, Streisand chimed in last week on John McCain’s selection of Sarah Palin, writing, “We are not that stupid.”
She wrote, “I believe John McCain chose Gov. Palin because he truly believes that women who supported Hillary --- an experienced, brilliant, life-long public servant --- would vote for him because his Vice President has two x chromosomes. McCain’s selection of Governor Palin is a transparent and irresponsible decision all in the name of trying to win this election.”
[Mighty big talk when Blacks are voting for Obama just because of the colour of his skin. Hey, aren't you Jewish? Why are you supporting Hamas' number one candidate?]

Vatican Official: Palin 'Dream' for Pro-Lifers
Sarah Palin’s firm opposition to abortion and her status as a mother of five prompted a Vatican official to describe the Republican vice president nominee as a “dream candidate.”
“I couldn't be more happy,” a U.S. church official at the Vatican told Newsmax on the condition of anonymity. “She is, in many ways, a dream candidate, at least among Americans here.”
Burke also stopped short of explicitly endorsing any candidate and agreed that abortion should not be the only issue to concern Catholic voters. But life issues are the critical ones, he said.
“We cannot accept for ourselves a political leadership which does not safeguard the inviolable dignity of human life,” he said. “Are there other issues? Of course there are, but the primary issue has to be the question of human life.”
The Democratic presidential candidate, Sen. Barack Obama, and his running mate, Sen. Joe Biden, support abortion rights. Some Democrats have come under fire for their comments about abortion.
Biden, a Catholic, said on “Meet the Press” Sunday that, although he agrees with church teaching, he does not want to “impose” his belief on others.
His comments followed the highly controversial remarks House Speaker Nancy Pelosi made on the same program two weeks ago. She described herself as an “ardent Catholic,” but made what church officials said were erroneous remarks about church teaching. Almost 30 bishops criticized her.
Increasing numbers of Americans, particularly the young, are growing sympathetic to the pro-life cause, say Burke and others, which may bode well for the Republican Party.

Obamaphile encourages users to vandalize Sarah Palin's Wikipedia entry
So there you have it: Stephen Ewen is a sometime critic of both Wikipedia and Sarah Palin, as of recently an active opponent of the governor on Wikipedia and, as of today at least, an activist using tools provided by the Obama campaign to suggest that fellow supporters make life difficult for the dozens of editors doing real work to improve the article.
Without getting into the details of his edits, all it takes is a glance at Ewen’s recent contributions to determine that his edit summaries are highly uncivil, which is always a red flag.

Smoking is banned, unless you're a drugged-up hippie
The smoking ban in city parks could be lifted for the second time since it passed three years ago, as city leaders are considering allowing medical marijuana patients to light up during a festival at San Lorenzo Park at the end of the month.
A closed tent will be available at the festival for those who need to administer their prescription drugs, and no pot will be for sale or distributed, Rotkin said.
However, Sentinel reports from last year’s festival showed that many participants did get stoned on the lawn, and some drove in from out of town for what they considered a recreational event by the river.

Video: Obamessiah drowns on O'Reilly
This interview with Bill O'Reilly was a DISASTER!
It was so bad you almost felt sorry for him.
Obama had nothing-- -- He had no answers.
He could not defend or explain his associations with terrorists, racists, and Leftist nutjobs.
He couldn't defend his decision to appease the Daily Kooks.
He compared Sean Hannity and FOX News to the vile nutroots radicals.
He excused Bill Ayers' terrorist attacks.
He could not name one example where FOX News smeared him.
He could not name one conservative friend.
Obama was so bad that O'Reilly started laughing.
It was horrible.

RINGS ON FINGERS, BELLS ON TOES, AND LIPSTICK ON PIGS
You can almost smell the desperation seeping out from the Obama camp. At first, it seems like the odor of rotten eggs but if you inch closer to camp it takes on a more unique stench.
The Anointed One was first anointed when he delivered the keynote address at the Dem convention in 2004. He was chosen then and there by the Dem-Powers-That-Be as America’s First Black President, supplanting Bill Clinton who was just a poseur in that role, and supplanting the Clintons as the Democrat First Family.
Obama’s penultimate anointment came at the Denver Convention amidst fireworks and entertainment and 87,000 Dem faithful. It all reminded me of the tactic of the Roman nobility, in a democratic republic, and their providing panem et circensis, food and entertainment, to the hoi polloi, to win their votes.
“The Party of the Common People,” an absurd appellation in the first place, was eager to rekindle that title and what better way to do that than to nominate and elect an African American? They locked on to a nonentity,...

"Sarah Palin: American Woman" averaged 2.7 million viewers in
its debut at 8 p.m. ET Saturday night, Nielsen Media Research
said Tuesday afternoon. That included 673,000 viewers in the
adults 25-54 cable news demo.
Nielsen said it was the highest-rated primetime documentary
ever in the 12-year history of the channel, surpassing high-
rated ones recently about Barack Obama and Palin's running
mate, John McCain.

Muslim cab drivers whose religious beliefs go against driving
passengers who carry alcohol have lost another round in court.
The Minnesota Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday against the cab
drivers' attempt to block penalties for refusing service.
A large share of the cabbies who serve the airport are Somali
Muslims, and many of them believe that Islamic law prohibits
them from giving rides to people carrying alcohol. Since the
commission began keeping track in 2002, there have been over
5,200 recorded instances of cabbies refusing service to
passengers at the airport, including a "significant percentage"
of passengers carrying alcohol, which is sometimes visible
through bags or in wine boxes, the appeals court noted.

Illegal alien panderer want end to drunk-drive laws
I urge the City Council, and Mayor Norma Torres, to not accept the "DUI Enforcement and Awareness Program Grant" of the State of California Office of Traffic Safety for the 2008-2009 fiscal year. The manner in which the traffic checkpoints are carried out in the City of Pomona has created a state of concern and discontent in a substantially large portion of the Pomona Community.
The checkpoints have fomented distrust and fear towards the police among many people. The checkpoints also negatively impact local businesses which depend on the patronage of families and individuals of modest economic resources.
Thus, in this manner, the checkpoints are a grave threat to the stability of the local economy, and social harmony within the community, which includes not only the City of Pomona but the other neighboring cities as well.

Juan Cole: Palin is a terrorist, only with lipstick
John McCain announced that he was running for president to confront the “transcendent challenge” of the 21st century, “radical Islamic extremism,” contrasting it with “stability, tolerance and democracy.”
But the values of his handpicked running mate, Sarah Palin, more resemble those of Muslim fundamentalists than they do those of the Founding Fathers. On censorship, the teaching of creationism in schools, reproductive rights, attributing government policy to God’s will and climate change, Palin agrees with Hamas and Saudi Arabia rather than supporting tolerance and democratic precepts.
What is the difference between Palin and a Muslim fundamentalist?Lipstick.

So, when are you guys finally going to find that conclusive proof that Sarah Palin was brought up an Inuit animist, studied the ancient Eskimo legends when she was a kid in school, had her house funded by an igloo slum lord, served on an education snow-board with a known terrorist, attended a church for 20 years where the reverend was renowned for saying “God d*mn the Arctic Circle!”, received donations from Hasidic Jew Secessionist League of Israel, approved millions in earmarks from Big Ice Cubes, and hides her racist Snow White Liberation Theology beliefs?
Not that the Vast Reich Wing Conspiracy would ever let such juicy tidbits leak out to the public of course… Nor would those facts in any way disqualify her for the White House.
And especially nor would they have any comparisons or parallels with a certain other candidate vying for the White House.
