" Sarah continues to show grace under fire. Any minor detail that the left can find to smear her is being made into a hugh ordeal. They are so desperate to dig some kind up dirt on the Governor. I think this may eventually backfire, but in the mean time, she is still gaining popularityl in the face of all these mean spirited personal attacks. "




Palin Supporter wrote on Dec 3, 2008 7:59 AM:

" Yes Sarah Palin, you have shown grace under fire. It's evident by your nationwide support. Georgia residents came out in force to support you, as you helped conservatives prevent a filibuster proof congress. Thank you for your efforts, and your undeniable success. "

Actually, MOST people are not suspicious. But anyone who is, as previously stated, is wasting their time blogging here on this site. They need to contact their representatives at the very least. Unless, of course, they are just blowing smoke. Un-huh. Yeah, that's it. Another ring-wing extremist conspiracy theorist out to get Obama--over nothing based in reality. "

" It wouldl take Obama 10 minutes to turn over his birth certificate. It may cost
him a stamp. He shows his BC, we all look so silly to have ever doubted him, he looks like a hero, and we all move on. What's wrong with that scenerio? Obama is well aware of the laws. That may be exactly why he refuses to cooperate. I cannot think of any other reason to let at least 2, if not 3 , law suits reach the supreme court. Admit it, his reaction is suspicious. " We the people" have rights. "

" Obama was born in Hawaii; it has been decided that he qualifies for the candidacy of President. He is a constitutional lawyer--he knows the legal requirements. Get over it!!!This diversion is a waste of everyone's time and you will be again disappointed when this latest conspiracy theory comes up empty. Use your mind for more constructive debates for moving our country forward during these troubled times that affect us all as one nation.

Spend time instead sincerely articulating a principled argument that will actually help formulate constructive ideas for solutions. Let's get something done!!! "

" hey, firsh reminder--

if you know of evidence regarding the authenticity of obama's birth certificate--why waste time blogging about it? why don't you blog off and go do something productive and constructive about it instead of sitting on your behind telling everyone that something is wrong?

feeling powerless these days?

you anti-obamamonsters need to use your time more effectively. if you've any evidence that shows obama's a liar, communist, marxist, socialist or from another planet--notify the fbi, cia, congress, whoever. but just blogging about it makes you people downright weak & pathetic. "

" Birth certificates (or lack of) are important. The criteria of natural born citizen was so important to our founding fathers that it's specified in the constitution. Who cares about clothes, on Obama's or Palin's side! But why not honor a simple request by the public to see the BC. Not going over well with many non-Obama voters. The Obama voters don't see to care if he is a usurper or not. That's fine, but our right to see proof of natural born citizenship should not be denied. It's our constitutional right. "

" As an independent, I make it a point to read the comments on several main stream media sites for objectivity. There is great disparity between the comments concerning Governor Palin and President-elect Obama. The harsh criticism of Obama pales against the obscenity and misogyny being displayed against the governor even after the election. There may be some improvement on Greta's site concerning Barack Obama, on the others against Sarah Palin, there is not. As a feminist woman, I am highly offended! "

" You like Obama's approach? Obama will use a "scalpel" and then increase government spending in other areas .We NEED TO CUT GOVERNMENT SPENDING- period. Also noteworthy: Obama's response in the debate to education reform. How to fix our poor student performance when our country has the highest per capita expendature per student.- Obama response -fund it better! What?? Mccain said we need to rexamine the system and fix the problems. Sounded more reasonable to me. Obama's answers-throw more money at a problem, them increase taxes. "

" This is an exciting time in history as most experts, including a surprising number on Fox News are reporting that Obama's selections so far are well-thought out, impressive and courageous. A sign of great leadership??!!!! Wouldn't it be exciting if all of us can work together and make changes that can bring America back to the example of opportunity that it has been in the past.
Instead of arguing about birth certificates
and clothing expenditures we should be having honest debates about what plans will not only benefit a few, but will help us and future generations. "

" Can you tell me what you believe John McCain would be proposing now if he had been elected. Who would he choose to bridge across the aisle to work for reform. I listened intently to McCain and Palin and heard no ideas on how to change the course we were on. As far as change, where would it have come....the only message was earmark reform. No message to improve healthcare or education. He should have had a refined message that would have impressed the electorate that he would be an effective leader. "

" The offensive t-shirts mentioned were at one rally. The offensive remarks against Obama occurred at almost every Sarah Palin rally. Most of the other sites edited out really offensive remarks about any candidate. I have noticed an improvement in the past week on Greta's site. There must have been too many complaints. Obama never revved up the crowd with remarks against Palin unlike her who rallied hers into a feeding frenzy. She did not even have the approval of the McCain campaign to make her remarks. "

What about the sexist, disgusting comments made about Governor Palin in CNN and MSNBC's comment sections? I am embarrassed that these americans show themselves to be so uncivilized. Her own daughter had to witness the "filthy four" and their Palin "C" word t-shirts on display while campaigning.

" Obama is putting out every effort to choose competent, smart people to try to attempt to resolve the complex problems that we have gotten ourselves into now.
Enough of Sarah Palin already. The problem is that she just was not ready to meet the national and international challenges in the opinion of most Americans. Enjoy her in Alaska and if she continues to prove herself, then in 4 years she can see again if we want her. Maybe we will, but don't count on it unless she carries a message that resonates with more than the conservatives. "

I do not believe that Muslim and nefarious go together. But those who write such things intend to imply he is not American. He was raised as a baby with an American mom who spoke English and with American granparents. He did not go to Indonesia until well after he learned to talk. He was not raised by his Kenyan father. "




To fishminder and others wrote on Nov 28, 2008 7:22 PM:

" Why are you using Muslim and nefarious together. Are you racist against Muslims? Obama's stregnth is his ability to identify with Muslims due to his background. He is gonna bring change because of his exposure to other cultures. He is gonna talk with terrorists and make them respect the united states . He will end terrorism because he will show America how wrong they have been. Are you calling Muslims hillbillies??? Obama did learn English as a second language, says so in his book. and he doesn't speak "Bush" so don't insult him. "




Disgraceful Undignified Palin wrote on Nov 28, 2008 5:09 PM:

" Palin's supporters reflect her--weak, hit-and-run bullies and cowards who've nothing of import to be proud.

Inarguably, Palin sunk this election ignoring McCain's worthier campaign objectives. Ask McCain's staff.

Because of Palin, her 'great American hero' was humiliated on election day.

McCain quietly stepped away from the spotlight post-election; Palin put herself out there, front and center, like an aging movie star afraid of losing her fan base.

She's a desperate wannabe with a vainglorious agenda, bottom-feeding off a hero's meritorious past. An undeserving, gluttonous beast with an insatiable, self-serving appetite. "




fishminder wrote on Nov 28, 2008 3:12 PM:

" No, there would be nothing wrong with Obama being a Muslim if he was. He is not and never has been. Those who accuse him of being of that faith do so to disparage him and to assign to him nefarious motives. It is a closet insinuation to cover other words that they are too embarrassed to admit. Yes, English was his first language. There is no evidence to suggest otherwise. He spent his early childhood years in the US speaking English. "




To TO FISHMINDER wrote on Nov 28, 2008 2:30 PM:

" To TO FISHMINDER...Oh...geez...do you mean to tell me we have yet ANOTHER president who doesn't speak English as a first language?!?

George Bush's isn't either. Hillbilly is his first language! Come to think of it, he and Palin seem to have both graduated from the same Malapropism School of Dunces!

Obama is so incredibly articulate and accent-free, I am even more amazed and impressed now knowing English wasn't his first language. What a legend he is becoming already with his many exceptional talents! Mesmerzingly so!

When he speaks--everyone listens! "

Obama does have Muslim ties, are you trying to deny that? Are you slamming Muslims?? I am proud to see a President of the United States that has a backgroud that includes such diversity.

A Fellow Newshound wrote on Nov 27, 2008 8:10 PM:

" Dear To Indepdendent,

It may be true that one cannot be responsible for everyone in a crowd. However, when Sen. McCain was confronted by rallyers making inappropriate remarks, he stood up to his own supporters, and corrected them--and even praised Obama.

I have seen three videos where crowd members were shouting anti-Obama threats at Palin rallies and can tell you that woman just stood there and didn't stop them.

I have read, through reputable media channels, that McCain was disgusted with Palin's behavior in these situations and displeased with her rhetoric, which prompted the hateful frenzy. "

With the depths that the news went to to smear Sarah Palin on everything from her clothes to her kids, why was that not plastered evertwhere?? There are also disputes that it did not happen. And I'm gonna say you cannot be responsible for everyone in a crowd. I need to see the evidence. "

" Actually Norma, I was indignant about and disgusted by the so-called "artist" incident. Still am.

That display did not happen in the presence of Obama; Palin, on the other hand, was standing before the people shouting deadly threats regarding Obama--and did nothing. Do you read me--NOTHING-- while it was happening, and those threats occurred more than once!

These disgusting Palin incidents happened BEFORE the Halloween display--and Palin never apologized to Obama. Why should Obama apologize for something he wasn't even a direct witness to when Palin did nothing?

Talk about hypocrisy, Norma. "




NormaJ wrote on Nov 26, 2008 5:10 PM:

" Independent, have you called for Obama to apologize for the California clowns that hung Sarah in a "Halloween" display". Isn't a noose classified as a hate crime??? And that display really happened!
Where you indignation over this? or do you only swing one way regarding hate crimes. Also, the event you allege may have been manufactured by some BS liberal reporter, No one seems to be able to show evidence that it occured, but there were many images of the effigy of Sarah hanging from the eves. Wake up You are so ridiculous. "

It fell on her to tell us some of the shady stuff about Obama (SOMEONE had to!), we needed to know about it as informed voters. I didn't see anything visious at all about it...just telling it like it is. Somehow I can't see anything wrong with telling it like it is. "

That is a lasting image of Palin for millions of Americans. She didn't do the right thing. Had she, (and McCain, by the way, did) then she might be respected, rather than repulsed, by a great majority of Americans.

Supporters of Palin shouldn't bother taking umbrage; she's done herself in. "

She is dishonest, lies, used her position as Wasilla’s mayor and now Alaska's governor for personal and financial gain, she cannot answer intelligent questions in any interview, incited her followers to the point of wanting to do physical harm to the opponent, paraded her children around like stage props (again, for her own gain), and is still blaming everyone but herself for the Republican Party losing.

They were thrilled when she was picked too. We all then actively campaigned for her.

" Sarah Palin has clearly demonstrated that she was pleased to be used by the neocons who were infatuated by her Annie Oakley style. But reasonable minds must prevail if the Repubs want to have a national party in the years to come. Lessons learned by this election should be that while she is a colorful politician, she is unable to appeal to moderate conservatives and independents. Repubs cannot win with her base alone and she is too firmly cemented in ideology to attract other voters. If you hang with Palin you will lose in 2012 and 2016. "

I'm a Republican, and I applaud Obama for not reducing himself to Palin's level, even when she continuously went after him with outlandish lies and unforgiveable exaggerations.

I was relieved when McCain distanced himself from Palin, and those supporters she riled up against Obama. When he did so, THAT was a moment of humility and grace under pressure.

Next to McCain, Palin looked like a loud-mouthed, under-educated hillbilly who didn't know how to act in public. "

Bush was elected, I heard so many libs complain rhat he was 'in bed with the Bin Ladens" yet it is o.k. for Obama to be associating w/ unrepentant terrorists and radicals. "

" Fishminder, you are wrong, Obama is bringing Marxism & Socialism to our country.
"Spreadng the wealth" is a Marxist statement, go look up what Karl Marx said. "

" Understandable that Alaskans are proud of Sarah Palin. But sadly the Lodwicks repeated new cry of "Marxist" which is a throwback to the McCarthyism; proved to be galloping paranoia.

Nobodys gonna take your guns. This
too is more paranoia resulting in militia mob mentality. Just trying to keep assault weapons out of the inner city...

Christians should refrain from passing judgment until actions dictate to do so.

To whom much is given, much is expected. Judge not, lest you be judged.
Americans are tired of these culture wars.

"Others Lord, yes others". "

" Unfortunately Alaska the rest of America did not know Sarah Palin over time like you did. All we had was 8 weeks to evaluate whether she would be a good candidate to represent all Americans. Because she was new to the national spotlight, it was reasonable to evaluate where she stood on substantive issues. Because of some questionable remarks that she made, voters paused and considered whether she was ready on day one to take should it be required.

Reasonable people can agree to disagree. We will continue to watch her future. "

" Lies?? we heard Palin with our own ears! She was a hate spreader! Not all of Alaska is proud of her. She should of kept her behind at home! She will only bring us more shame if she continues on her journey hunting for fame! Hilary is a lot smarter than Palin any day and has more class! "

" The most scary, laugable lying politician I have ever had the duisplasure of watching for over 2 months.

Please just go away an stop embrassing the good citizens of Alaska.

If you decide to go for it in 2012, remember we have all the Tina Fey tapes, Couric and Gibson interviews and we will just play those instead of watching the ads about you. I will never vote for you. God Bless Alaska and her citizens. "

" I think Sarah Palin told so many LIES and spread so much hate about Obama. Why is it okay for her to constantly talk negative about him, but say anything about her and its unconstitutional. She is truly a very scary person! "

" Grace? Compassion & kindness aren't shown by firing so many, blaming, labeling, dividing or stretching the truth.
Grace could be accepting responsibility, seeing how her behavior hurt others, honestly apologizing & then coming up with a plan to make it better!
Raised in a teacher's home, she can research before she makes decisions & trust the public to follow her without her playing the victim to an evil villian. (McCain Staff, press, outsiders, feminists & liberals are not evil) Accepting criticism can be a part of Grace "

A lot of smart woman in the United States -- women that are smarter than Sarah Palin, better looking that Sarah, more spiritual that Sarah, more loyal that Sarah, women that stand by their word, women with a Character of Gold, Women that know how to talk to people with dignity and campaign with respect. . Yourself sold yourself short Alaska! Thank Goodness the majority
Saw through her! "

" Lets talk about God for a moment. Sarah talks about God. So let talk about what God wanted..... If God thought Palin was right for the job! She would of had the job. No ifs and no buts about it!!! I believe ,even God was disapointed in Palin and her personal attacts and the division that she was pushing. Life is a test Sarah, you should know that. What do you tell God in the end? it was politics? "

" I never heard of Wasilla before the Palin's. I never want to here of Wasilla again if this is what you put in office for Americans and World Security. I'm not opposed to your support for her, but lost respect for any paper condoning her credibility and behavior. If your voice is in tune with hers, I'm sure we have nothing at all in common. Just please be a fair and balanced paper, opinion. It shows badly on all of you. "

" Seems people are too proud and emotional to see what is really before them. Funny, when anyone disagrees with the local Palin mindset, the posse starts mounting up.
If you disagree you are called non-employed, non-tax payer, non-resident, hateful, or lacking intelligence... pot calling the kettle, black, it seems?
Do you ever think that maybe the Palin followers are the one's that are out of touch? She did lose in a landslide. Other than right-wing fundy Christians and local republican yokels, she really didn't have much support. Emotion and pride is all you have, try thinking for a change. "

Go get a JOB now, grow up and start paying those taxes like other adults. Regardless of the far left remarks that continually follow every article written about our Governor I am very proud of her and look forward to her continued leadership. "
