She was in charge. Then she quit.
She was winning until she lost.

For anybody who advocates waterboarding prisoners taken in the "war on terror", I'm just curious - if US soldiers are captured by these terrorist groups, would you object if the terrorists waterboarded them as part of their interrogation? And if so, on what basis?
FWIW, this is the thread I was searching for when I found the above quote of mine. If I had a time machine, I would love to link to this thread to that one back in 2008.
Ultimately, this is why "the Anti-Palin Effort Was So Desperate", or should have been.
Crazy drives out sane, this has always been true. I think Heston was the tipping point.
Sara Palin for President of the NWBA (National WaterBoarding Association).
She'd just quit halfway through her first term.
You mean if halfway through she was offered a multi-million dollar book deal?
Might depend on who wrote it for her.
Pundits can debate the political costs and benefits of Sarah Palin's decision to step down as Alaska governor, but the monetary advantages of leaving her $125,000-a-year public service post are beyond dispute. Since leaving office at the end of July 2009, the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee has brought in at least 100 times her old salary...She reportedly got a $7 million deal for her first book, with the bulk of that money due after her resignation as governor...

Considering that terrorists behead non-military personnel they capture, waterboarding would probably be a cakewalk for any soldiers they capture.
I'm sure. But the question wasn't about how terrorists DO treat captives, but how those who support waterboarding think they SHOULD.
In this respect she is not that much different to me than our current and previous administration.
The term "victors' justice" answers your question in full.I would also like to know the answer to this question.
A follow-up question: Were the Japanese convicted of war crimes after WWII unjustly executed?

Watch Iron Sky directors cut on netflix. They have a hilarious parody of Sarah Palin as president in it with racks of guns and taxidermy in the oval office. The movie is pretty decent also.
Also I do know a couple of conservatives that still think she's legit.
I don't believe it is for entertainment value.Killing an enemy and advocating torture for entertainment value are different.
Jon Stewart covered this story yesterday, and up till then I hadn't actually heard her words, only read them.

What stands out to me is that boy, she's lost it. Her timing is stilted and she doesn't have the nice delivery she had at the RNC in 2008.
