Okay News Media - Palin's church in Alaska - give it equal time as Obama's church in Chicago. Or will she get a pass? Or will the media be acccused of being sexist for even asking? Someine alert Hannity. He needs to talk about this NON-STOP.

Brickner also described terrorist attacks on Israelis as God's "judgment of unbelief" of Jews who haven't embraced Christianity.

"Judgment is very real and we see it played out on the pages of the newspapers and on the television. It's very real. When [Brickner's son] was in Jerusalem he was there to witness some of that judgment, some of that conflict, when a Palestinian from East Jerusalem took a bulldozer and went plowing through a score of cars, killing numbers of people. Judgment — you can't miss it."

Palin was in church that day, Kroon said, though he cautioned against attributing Brickner’s views to her.

and this is all before the new info on her business being shut down by her own state and her video of the "sermon" she gives about our soldiers "fighting for God"

the worst choice for Vice president in our nation's history...

America's done with the right wing ...their war on science and democracy...

get this woman out of the debate...

"Here comes the pushback: Team McCain plays the gender card and the media-bias card with a full-on offensive -- press conferences, surrogate TV and radio appearances (designed to demand fair treatment for Palin and her family)."

Wasn't it McCain that once joked about Chelsea Clinton being ugly because Janet Reno was her father?

Can you say hypocrisy?

Anyway, none of this matters because the bottom line is Palin will give a good speech tonight, but will still have to drop from the ticket 1) if the ethics investigation says she abused her authority or 2) if she had recent involvement with a secessionist political party.

And there's still a lot we don't know about Palin. When the media encounters this much weird stuff this quickly, they start looking deeper.

Palin is Alaskan for "right wing drama"

How would it be treated if it were Michelle Obama with a 17 year old pregnant daughter. Or a teenage Chelsea Clinton in the white house?

Image - Schmimage! Look at the issues and the choice is clear as night and day [dare I say... it's as clear as black and white?]

The reason Sarah Palin is attacked so visciously by liberals is because she has more experience than the top of the Democratic ticket. When the Democrats whine about her lack of foreign affairs experience, all the Republicans have to do is point to Obama's similar lack of foreign affairs experience. The Democrats forced Joe Biden on Barack Obama to shore up his lack of experience. It's now clear to the entire country that the wrong man is at the top of the ticket. Dems are embarrassed, and Repubs are laughing.

I was student body president for 2 years in my high school and 2 years residential student body president at my college...over twice as many people as the number in Palin's home town

do I have enough "executive experience" even if I, like Palin, can't spell "mujahadin" never mind explain what it is?

again THE worst choice for VP and self-serving judgment by a Presidential candidate in our nation's history.

If the Republicans are trying to play the gender card, it certainly is working on me. I've been a Democrat all my life. I was sickened by the way Democrats treated Hillary, and I am sickened by the way they are attacking Sarah Palin. Why do I owe loyalty to a party that clearly shows little respect for women? I realize the Republicans are trying to exploit the anger of Democratic women. At the same time, I applaud the fact that Republicans don't seem to have a problem with a woman in the White House. Conservatives have treated Palin with far more respect than many Democrats treated Clinton. I was going to stay home in November. With the nomination of Sarah Palin, I will cast my vote for the Republicans.

I can see why McCain picked her... she's under investigation for corruption and abuse of power to retaliate against her enemies. That's all the vetters needed to know.

Disappointed- please just tell us WHAT foreign policy experience she has - just name one thing and it can not involve the National Guard.

I don't care what they say about Sarah Palin. I'm voting for McCain-Palin, or McCain-Whoever. Democrats should realize that not all Democrats are LEFT-WING NUTS. Some of us are moderate Democrats, and we DO consider Obama's membership in a racist, anti-Semitic, un-American church relevant. The Dems lost me for this year, although I will vote Democratic in my state. Obama was a bad mistake. He has no more foreign affairs experience than Sarah Palin, and she's at the BOTTOM of the Republican ticket.

Let the vetting begin.
Her equal is Joe Biden but she is new like Obama was so she needs equal scrutiny to what Obama & family had.

DRIP,DRIP,DRIP

Y'all do realize if she supports secession she doesn't even want to be an American, right?

I think this is one of the truly bizarre storylines I've seen in American politics.

With expectations this low, her speech can only become a success. But there are too many questions surrounding her candidacy for her to answer in one speech, and when all the convention excitement settles down, she will have to answer for them one by one.

The more the liberals attack Sarah Palin, the more I like her. I am sickened by my own party. They trashed Hillary, and now they're trashing another woman. And they expect my vote. LOL

andrea

you prove that their are some "right wing nuts" then in the Dem party also.

moderates think Palen is the worst vp candidate in history as much as left wing as you say "nut jobs" do

she is ill equipped with the knowledge andfamiliarity with ANY of the issues we face outside ...energy awareness and policy built on oil and gas exclusively ...that's a good energy policy with what we are facing...not.

the worst VP candidate in our nation's history...all to play a gender card.

sad...

And a male governor picked to run as a vice presidential candidate while he was being investigated for abuse of power... we'd never hear a word about that.

Damned sexist media!

These questions are all just media hype. This is the first election in very long time when no one from the greater South has been on either ticket and during the past 40 years the ticket with a southerner has always prevailed.

Everyone seems to think that so many States are in play for the "other" party this year, but I seriously doubt it. It will once again, be about the working class and their perception of who best represents them and their lives (whether it's an accurate comparison or not). My guess is that all those non-represented Southern and lower mid-west States will go with McCain/Palin because of the "whose life looks more like mine" issue. I think most of those blue collar voters from swing states will also be pulling the lever with the same idea in mind.

The country is in a mess, but it has been for a long time. Every four years we hope for something positive, but we get the closest approximation to what middle American sees when they look in the mirror.

mhhunt: "These questions are all just media hype."

No they're not. She is under investigation. That's not media hype. Now, granted, investigation doesn't equal guilt, but we do know she's already been caught in a lie about the potential abuse of power.

And while we don't know whether she was involved with this secessionist party or not, we have heard from three members including a former AIP chairman who say on the record she was involved, and recently, too.

Not media hype at all.
