Palin: A Radical Spouse and a Controversial Church

Karma sure is funny. Remember when the right was attacking Obama over his church and treating Michelle Obama like she was a member of the Black Panthers circa 1968?

Well, now Sarah Palin’s in trouble for attending a highly anti-Semetic church AND both she and her husband are under scrutiny for their membership in a radical political party that wants Alaska to secede from the United States.

As he so often does, Sullivan said it best:

Partly out of insane cynicism (did he really believe Hillary’s voters would switch over to vote for Palin?), partly out of a shallow liking for a shallow reading of Palin’s record, and partly out of pure negligence - he picked Palin, barely knowing her. And so religious fundamentalism, as it always will, swamps the frontal cortex required for effective governance and gives us this reality show disgrace as serious politics. Has America really come to this?

Yes it has. The debate over whether the Republican party is now unfit for public office at a national level is now resolved. The longer, deeper explaination for this is in my book. One day, we will revive real conservatism. Right now, we have to ensure that this insane circus masquerading as a serious political party is defeated.

It’s like McCain just handed the Obama camp a beautifully wrapped gift with a shiny shiny ribbon, and they don’t even have to open it. The press will do that for them.
