True Stupidity: Sarah Palin On Evolution

I cannot speak to those. However, I will concede that many of the Christine O'Donnell comments found here are closer to the smear-end of the spectrum than the thoughtful- analytical-comment end of the spectrum.

Are you implying that saying that Creationism has a place in classrooms is not anti-evolution?

Oh, it certainly has a place, where ever Piltdown man is (was)taught, and where ever kids are taught about the nine planets in our solar system, the Bohr atom, and other rich lore. And where the religion of global warming is taught, with it's chief profit, Al Gore.

I'm not a big believer in learning through classrooms.:)

Although to answer your point less in a joking mode, I really don't see the Federal government having a place in educational standards. If some state wants to teach nonsense, fine with me.

People on JREF are really in my opinion hung up on certain issues, evilution vs. cretinism being one such example of something most people don't give a flying crap about.

Then you don't know much about the Republican party and mainstream Republicans.

Does that have anything or something or nothing to do with the phrase "most people"?

When I saw this, I immediately thought of the Boston Tea Party. Which was 1773.

Please explain how and why this quote illustrates some presumed ignorance or something funny about Palin. I'm genuinely curious here, there is some kind of disconnect...

Figured it out, the obvious answer of course...

So, TAM....since you stepped up to the table and pronounced
I thought this was funny, and telling, from Palin today, while touring with the teabag express...
​
What was funny and telling?

Maybe I can find it in the Twitter Universe?

Maybe at our friends at HotAir.com?

Wait...maybe the moderators here would help and just move this rather embarrassing mess to Abandon-All-Hope? Yes, that WOULD BE THE BEST SOLUTION!!!!

Because I think it speaks to a desire the teapartiers, her included, have for the way things were...back in 1773...fighting the oppressors, etc...

I understand you hate Sarah Palin, but incorrectly calling her out on this when you thought she meant 1776 is embarassing.

I didn't but you may think as you will. I was making a comment about her and her ilk want the good old days 200 years ago. I answered in response to this above. Are you calling me a liar?

TAM:)

Edit: Oh, and just as a note, I don't HATE Sarah Palin. That is too strong a word. I don't even hate the idiot truthers I left behind in the CT subforum. I just think she is an intellectual snail, and not fit to run anything outside of a corner store (no offense to corner store owners/managers).

And it's EXACTLY when you assert intellectual snailness on the part of your political opposition that you don't want...

to display it...:)

There's no denying that Sarah Palin is dumb, but after seeing this video I think you'll agree that she's not even in the same league as Delaware's Republican U.S. Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell:

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that Palin's advisers prepped O'Donnell for her debate.

Stephen Colbert brought this up on his show. Watch from 1:20 to 3:20.

What I am referring to are the comments by JREF posters in the September - November 2008 timeframe relative to Palin. Any and all smears without a shred of factual basis were used in attempts to discredit her.

That's a mighty broad brush you're painting with.

I posted criticisms of Palin very often during that time. I challenge you to find any posts of mine that was one of these "smears without a shred of factual basis".

Palin didn't need our help in discrediting herself. She was simply a very bad candidate.
 
I'm a republican.

I did not vote in the last presidential election, partially because of Palin's selection. I was really not impressed.

But still...

1) to paint her as unqualified really glosses over Obama's lack of qualifications, and,

2) I detect some befuddled jealousy. I mean how many here, on their best day, could hope to become governor of their states?

Credit where credit is due.
 
In the end, it is a matter of what you consider to be the proper qualifications. Personally, i think Obama has the intellect, intellectual curiosity, and charisma to be an effective and proper leader....i do not think Sara has any of these things (unless you think folksy soccer mom is charming, in which case she gets one out of three).

Edit: blaming it on jealousy is an easy excuse. Sorry, i personally am a high income earner in canada with no ambition or even thought of higher office...sorry.
