Sarah Palin’s connection to anti-semitic evangelicals: will the media ask tough questions about this? September 3, 2008

Of course they won’t. And maybe they’re right to. Just because Palin attends a church that invites anti-semitic speakers to rant about how terrorist attacks in Palestine are God’s Judgment against Jews doesn’t mean she believes any such things. Not that the MSM cared about that when harping on Obama’s connection to Jeremiah Wright.
Then again, Palin’s not a Scary Secret Muslim Communist Vampire Lesbian like Obama, so a double standard is perfectly acceptable.
All the same, McCain better hope that the Jewish vote he’s counting on in Florida doesn’t start paying attention to Palin’s ties to people who say things like
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.
Given that Palin was in attendance for those remarks, it certainly seems that someone should ask her if she believes that terrorists attacks are God’s judgement on Jews–and whether she thinks Jews are condemned for rejecting Jesus. Those are completely legitimate questions to ask a candidate, and someone needs to ask them.
Very well put! Yes, I have always railed about the hypocritical double standards of the rightwing sociopaths. They are a viral disease, all pervasive and unfortunately winning. They are winning because our spineless, neutered media (who by the way just removed Keith Olbermann and Chris Mathews from anchoring NBC’s political coverage just because the fascist [edit: homophobic language isn't going to fly here.--EB] screamed and foamed at the mouth with paroxysmic seizures) continues to fall to their knees in submission every time a rightwing sociopath farts in their direction. Conversely, the rightwing neofascist media, (perpetrators of one of the most horrendous Geobbells style lies, that the media is left wing) NEVER flinch or make the slightest attempt or gesture to censor their cryptofascist pit bulls like O’Reilly, Coulter, or Limbaugh, all who should be on an IV of Prozac and Lorazepam. Never, will Murdock’s evil empire of candy coated fascism be silenced or challenged. My friend, I hate to say this, but we are in fudging check mate. The media has always been the key and now one of the most heinous, cynical, contemptuous political moves in history has just been, again, pulled off by the nefarious, always diabolical, master of perfidy, Karl Rove. Roves fingerprints are all over the selection of this antisemitic, political neophyte, evangelical whack job Palin. This is a classic Rove move.
He is ruthless, has utter contempt for the democratic process of free elections and has will use any means necessary regardless of legality or ethics in order to achieve his pathogenic agenda.
As you can see, the press is OFF limits to Palen, a person who has jsut been selected to be a heartbeat from the most powerful office on earth and who is very likely, in league with some of the most radical Christian fanatics known. These Christians are just as deadly, obsessed, fanatical and pathological as their Muslim counterparts.
If Palin continues to succesfully evade the press (with their spineless consent) and pulls of one of the most unprecedented con jobs in political history, coordinated and choreographed by the rightwing machine, then its over. Pack your bags and head for Canada or anywhere because this once, great and free country will finally be enslaved by the radical pathology that seems to permeate the human experience. The history of religion is unfortunately, a history of terror, horrific brutality and massive destruction in the hands of a few exploitative delusionary psychopaths. This is why our species is doomed and maybe it should be. I am very concerned.

This reminds me of a book by Margaret Atwood “The Handmaid’s Tale”, it shows the world these religious fanatics want. I hope that it will not come to that !
