    I cant wait to see video of this. Just proves the point that she is only popular with the basest of the Rethuglican base. I doubt we’ll be seeing much more of her in anything but pure political Rethug rallies from now on.

  • cminri

    On another note, I see that the Troopergate story didnt make the NBC Nightly news until almost 20 minutes into it the program. Guess its just not that important – just another story about Rethug abuse of power…ho hum….

    This kind of thing makes my blood boil.http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/10/more-mixed-mess.htmlFrom above:At a McCain event, as the crowd waited for McCain himself to arrive, Pastor Arnold Conrad of the Grace Evangelical Free Church of Davenport, Iowa, gave an invocation that included the following: “I would also pray, Lord, that your reputation is involved in all that happens between now and November, because there are millions of people around this world praying to their god—whether it’s Hindu, Buddha, Allah—that his opponent wins, for a variety of reasons. And Lord, I pray that you will guard your own reputation, because they’re going to think that their God is bigger than you, if that happens. So I pray that you will step forward and honor your own name with all that happens between now and Election Day.”I hate people mixing politics and religion. And I hate that they are so presumptuous to think they know what God wants. Since when was God a Republican? And I hate that they assume all other religions are wrong and bad. It just pisses me off so much!The other thing that makes me mad is even though they are inciting violence and hate with the lie that “Obama is friends with terrorists” they are STILL going to use it! If something bad happens to any of the Obamas, blood will be on their hands!If McPain’s campaign isn’t making you mad, then there is something wrong with you! I want Americans to stand up against this bullshit.

    Cupcake – Just think of the feeling they’ll have when “their God” disappoints them. What a sad, horrible feeling that must be. Sweet, sweet justice. Karma’s a fucking bitch, but I guess karma isn’t a belief their God espouses to.

    CM – GottaLaff has the video:http://thepoliticalcarnival.blogspot.com/2008/10/video-hockey-fans-to-hockey-mom-iwrc.htmlThe Hartford Courant now puts blurbs from blog comments on its front page & website. This was this morning’s choice:Under Obama’s view of gun control, the .22 target pistol that I own legally and shoot at an indoor range classifies as an assault weapon since it’s semi-automatic. His misinformed view on what’s an assault weapon and what’s not is why I’m not voting for you.   — Jeff, Wethersfield, CTSort of the epitome of “clinging to guns”, huh?

  • cminri

    Thanks ceu…checked out a couple of different versions, but the music kind of drowns out the booing. Im sure more videos will be available from the crowd point of view that will a better depictin of what really happened. A commenter on Huffpo wished that the crowd had chanted “Obama” -that would have been Goddamn Awesome!

  • CupcakeCult

    Carl, I hope karma will be a bitch to them. This country was founded on freedom of religion and I hate how they are trying to make it into a “Christian” country. I have nothing against anyone following whatever religion they choose, just keep it out of my government please!

  • Rod Majors

    This is a clearer video of the booing. Enjoy.http://www.eandppub.com/2008/10/hockey-mom-pali.html

  • cminri

    I love this blog…but i cant wait for that Palin picture on the 30 days video to drop down so I dont have to look at it anymore.

  • animalhamilton

    I would like to applaud the comments of John Lewis.Palin’s “pals around with terrorists” line is disgusting, as are all the other such inferences coming out the McCain-Palin campaign.she can’t say nothing without being dipshittedly folksy, which is maddening…but don’t let the joke distract from the seriousness of the matter.John Lewis is correct to classify it as “dangerous” and “playing with fire.”John McCain and Sarah Palin should be ashamed of themselves for what they are — purposefully — doing.

  • CupcakeCult

    cminri: I was thinking the same thing. I can’t stand to look at her because she is so vile.

  • kansasdem

    “I would like to applaud the comments of John Lewis.”You can add me to that list!And in another great example of just how badly out of touch McCain is with reality he makes this statement:”Congressman John Lewis’ comments represent a character attack against Governor Sarah Palin and me that is shocking and beyond the pale. The notion that legitimate criticism of Senator Obama’s record and positions could be compared to Governor George Wallace, his segregationist policies and the violence he provoked is unacceptable and has no place in this campaign. I am saddened that John Lewis, a man I’ve always admired, would make such a brazen and baseless attack on my character and the character of the thousands of hardworking Americans who come to our events to cheer for the kind of reform that will put America on the right track.”"I call on Senator Obama to immediately and personally repudiate these outrageous and divisive comments that are so clearly designed to shut down debate 24 days before the election. Our country must return to the important debate about the path forward for America.”What a pathetic pair of douche bags!

    What’s worse about her being at the game, but not at all surprising,is how she trotted out the two props with her for the photo op. I’m actually surprised they didn’t have little Trigger out their in a papoos and curl him down into the red zone.How can anyone with a 3rd grade education swallow this bull?? I’ve never seen a politician use her family so overtly as political window dressing. These poor kids. Obama should offer them the services of the witness protection program when they reach 18. I can’t imagine the stigma that they are going to have to live with for the rest of their lives. It’s just sad.

  • cminri

    At least a real pitbull’s instinct would be to protect its young…

  • LeeroyJenkins

    It’s all straw-clutching. Every move McPalin makes now is pure desperation. It gives you a good sense of just how power-crazy some whores are.

    What a fucking joke. Calling on Obama to repudiate John Lewis? He’s out of his fucking mind! Maybe if he hadn’t started race baiting with “Who is the real Barack Obama?” to the point that morons attending his rallies are scared to bring a child into the world in an Obama presidnecy (boo-fucking-hoo) and old women think he’s “Arab,” Lewis would never have said something like that!

    FUCK JOHN McCAIN! FUCK SARAH PALIN! FUCK RICK DAVIS AND ALL THE ASSHOLES WORKING A PATHETIC CAMPAIGN!

    “Liberal” MSNBC is saying “mostly cheers”. That’s not what I heard on that video.http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/27136268/

    It took Bush over seven years to be publicly booed and some Governors take a few years to violate the public trust and abuse their powers. This twink did it in under two years. Now that’s Mavericky.

  • cactusgal

    If she shows up at an NBA game, she’ll be picking parts of the bleachers out of her ass. For some reason, us b-ball fans don’t tolerate racists as well as hockey fans do.

    Does anyone else find it completely inappropriate for a VP, or even potential VP, or anyone holding that level of public office to kiss the hockey player? Isn’t that more of a Miss America move as oppossed to that of a high ranking government official? I wonder what FOX would have said if Hillary did that.

  • dontpanic23

    Am I hearing you say McCain is calling on Obama to repudiate Lewis’ (oh-so-spot-on) remarks? What, one black man says something so it is a collective mouth? So, by that logic, McCain has to take back everything Coultergiest, Limbauger Cheese and David Duke have ever uttered? Word by nasty word? Not to mention everything that has been said by Palin on his behalf, all of his advisors and the horrible hate-filled spew of his supporters? All of whom, by the way, could be said to be of a white collective mouth? He’d be a very busy man, would McPuke.Damn I fell asleep before Bob put up an evening open thread and missed all this.
