Interview: “GIBSON: You said recently, in your old church, “Our national leaders are sending U.S. soldiers on a task that is from God.” Are we fighting a holy war?.

PALIN: But the reference there is a repeat of Abraham Lincoln’s words when he said — first, he suggested never presume to know what God’s will is, and I would never presume to know God’s will or to speak God’s words. But what Abraham Lincoln had said, and that’s a repeat in my comments, was let us not pray that God is on our side in a war or any other time, but let us pray that we are on God’s side. That’s what that comment was all about, Charlie.”

I love how everything is receiving new definitions and interpretations in this election. Racist, sexist, lipstick on pigs and now “a task that is from God” means “let us pray that we are on God’s side.”

I can’t keep up with all the new definitions and interpretations. I hope someone is going to publish a dictionary.

I’m no Senator Biden fan, but I don’t think he would try to make that stretch. Senator Obama probably wouldn’t even try.

Governor Palin isn’t standing by her words. I’ve been standing off to the side of her bandwagon, researching, considering and mulling. Yesterday she didn’t do well into turning me into a lipstick sign waving Palin supporter. We’ll see if she does better tonight.

Clara,

You don’t see the double standard?

Before the Palin pick, LJ’s main problem with Obama (as well as the GOP’s main talking point) was his inexperience and how dangerous things would be if he were in charge.

Now that Palin has energized the base, they have co-opted Obama’s message and are now pretending that they can bring change to Washington. (You have to really drinking the Kool-Aid to believe this.)

But what about Palin and her complete inexperience? Alaska being near Russia is laughable.

As for LJ, c’mon man, you’re better than this blog. Wake up.

She would be a better President that Obama, she is NOT AFRAID to make a DECISION, He would just vote “Present” if he could.

JF,
Do you honestly believe that BO is more ready than Palin? If any journalist had the temerity to question him as Gibson did Palin, we’d be hearing his whining all over the airways. Also, where exactly had BO traveled as an adult? Pakistan? For what? African to visit his relatives and support his radical cousin? Oh, yeah. And the World Tour this summer. Just no visit to the troops. Does this experience make him ready?

Tsktsk,
Your replies to everyone on this blog with whom you disagree are very disrespectful, full of invective and name-calling. Why is that?

You remind me of a typical road rage driver — lots of obscene gestures and a complete lack of comprehension as to why other drivers might be doing the seemingly stupid things they are doing. Everybody outside your armored vehicle is an idiot, and you feel strangely at liberty to insult them.

Were you face to face on a sidewalk, you probably would find a way to moderate your anger, to be polite and work things out. Otherwise you’d eventually end up in jail or on the wrong end of a punch or something worse. You know, 4 out of San Francisco’s 100 or so homicides last year were road rage related?

So while you conduct yourself in this manner in an online space, a far less volatile place than the street, you are mistaken to think that it is okay to behave as you do. We should treat one another with the same respect, or at least courtesy, as we would in face to face encounters. I find commenters like you to be cowards in real life. Get a grip on your anger.

The right discovered a respect for Hillary fighting against the fait accompli and the drive by media. The right wishes she would stop lying though, it reminds them of why they didn’t like her to begin with.

Docelder, actually “Change” was Hillary’s until Obama stole it from her.

bunny, the “haters on the right” have treated Hillary like the “haters on the left’ are treating Gov. Palin except the right has been at it for fifteen years. What’s the common thread? They are both women and everyone knows a woman who is governor at the age of fourty four has to be “power hungry and conniving”. What is a man of the same age and same position called? A talented politician. Go back in history to the 90s and look at some of the comments by the far right about Hillary and she has grown into a stronger person because of it.

I really like Gov. Palin and fervently hope McCain will win this election, but she is going to have her trial by fire in the next two months and she will not be given a pass like Obama.

Any thoughts on the rumor Biden will step down in October due to “health problems” and Hillary will become the VP candidate to save the day?

They just sent all 400 paid bots to that site at once, knowing a lot of real people would see it.

And every bot had 7 names
And every name had 7 friends
And every friend had 7 kids

Bot, Names, Friends, Kids how many were in the sack for him?

He knows how many US states there are. He was code speaking to the Muslim world. He knows how many they have, and he has visited all of them.

One of Obama’s good buddies is from Iran, working in his campaign. He sure keeps her hidden, wonder why? Just the Chicago way?

Nancy,
Yes, if Obama gets elected, there will be at least 4 more years of Bush. Look at Obama’s voting pattern with Bush and Cheney and the big oil and energy companies.

Obama = Bush 3
