Palin/McCain: Iraq war will of god

[CptStern]

In June, when Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin addressed the graduating class of commission students at her one-time church, Wasilla Assembly of God, she ?painted the current war in Iraq as a messianic affair in which the United States could act out the will of the Lord.? ?Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right. Also, for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending [U.S. soldiers] out on a task that is from God,? said Palin. In a statement to the New York Sun yesterday, McCain campaign spokesman Michael Goldfarb endorsed Palin?s comments ?100%?:

?This is an incredibly humble statement, a statement that this campaign stands by 100%, and a sentiment that any religious American will share ? the hope that our country?s actions are indeed righteous,?

delusional histrionics aside this is a shrewd move to rally the idiots/religious to the mccain camp ..if Iraq was the will of god he's not a very smart god

Wow she's dumb.

If only we could say thats the only instance of God being stupid/appearing far less then the omnipotent being he has been made out to be.

If he exists.











Which he doesn't.

GG.

 

[Leto]

If there is a God, I wouldn't doubt that he would be facepalming right now..

 

[Avoidist]

I think this is the defining moment where I can say that if either of these two get into office, your country is clinically insane.

 

[lefty]

In before multiquote war.

 

[DEATHMASTER]

^ would probably be greatest if it was the first thread/post in the politics section.

 

[lefty]

Then what is it the first thread/post in?

 

[DEATHMASTER]

Too lazy to check, probably one of the sticky rules.

*groan* nevermind, non-reader.

 

[soulslicer]

I thought this video was relevant to the discussion

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-R5Vh5tOWk&feature=related

to suggest that there is any neighborhood in this city, where an American can walk freely, is beyond ludicrous. I'd love Mccain to tell me what the neighborhood is, and he and I can go for a stroll

lolz were had.

 

[DEATHMASTER]

He's just so much like bush, I really don't need more convincing to not vote for him.

I think it's more a case of the system being severely broken tbh. The whole nomination thing played out like a reality TV show at times.... 'Super tuesday..WTF...'

 

[VirusType2]

Please vote, my friends in Science. Do not underestimate the amount of wealthy, religious, and often racist old white men who DO vote.

You half expect a WWF showdown between McCain and Obama at times.

American politics is very strange.

Anyway, Republicans will win this for sure. Palin likes guns, loves to hunt, participated in Miss Alaska slut awards, has a thousand kids. ...etcetc. What American wouldn't vote for such an awesome representative? Obama can't compete with that. He's pragmatic, reasonable and apparently intelligent unlike most Americans.

McCain/Palin will lead the country onwards to more overseas stupidity.

 

[Solaris]

I'll be really sad if Mccain wins...

When is the election, I might organise some kind of Obama party at uni.

 

[Kadayi]

McCain/Palin will lead the country onwards to more overseas stupidity.

Indeed the Hadron Collider pails into insignificance compared to the devastation those 2 are likely to wreak upon the world given the chance...

Doesn't matter, terrorists have the holy war. Americans can't compete with that.

I lol'd when he used 'Dinosaurs' and 'Nuclear Codes' in the same sentence

But it does seem odd that McCain chose the govenor of Alaska, where there is a supposed Vast Oil Reserve that hasn't been tapped into yet.

Gold Star for Matt. He seems pretty unsettled about it all and I hope more celebrities, people in the media talk about this tbh.

 

[Krynn72]

The election of Obama is the will of God. There, that should get all the religious loons back over on our side.

Did anybody hear whatever Palin said about a war with Russia may be necessary? I can't find what she had said exactly...

But I'm thinking. WHAT IN THE ****!? We can't afford a war with Russia, let alone the world. This isn't just about money either, it's about nuclear holocaust, which I say is quite a posibility of the US engages in a war with Russia and NATO does as well, because I believe NATO has said they would go to war with Russia if they engage in another situation like Georgia.

I mean, come on... you don't see Russia or Britain or France or China or Pakistan or India threatening to engage the US in war for our aggressions on Iraq.

 

[delusional]

NATO should be dissolved, but sadly I don't see that happening. A vote for McCain/Palin is a vote for ww3 I guess.

She clearly believes she's living in some sort of Hollywood Comedy show or perhaps she watched one too many episodes of the West Wing or Commander in Chief....

fox news took that damon clip and put their usual out of context spin on it. They dont try and hide it anymore, do they?

I hate republicans

You have a linkie to their twisted spin at all?

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

What a bitch. How's that for politics?

 

[The Monkey]

God couldn't tell them there were no weapons of mass destruction?

Not finding it on youtube, but they basically ignored every point he made except the fact that he called her a hockey mom.

Palin said that Iraq war a "task from God". (9/4/08)

Don't you get familiar with same tone from Pat Robertson? He had predicted that God tell him George Bush would win the 2004 election in landslide. Or there would be a mass killing in 2007.

Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson “goes off alone with the Lord <http://hamptonroads.com/2008/01/pat-robertson-predicts-violence,-recession-2008> and then comes back to share with us what the Lord has shown him about the coming year.” This year, according to Robertson, God told him what will happen in the ‘08 election:

http://www.truthnews.us/?p=1522

Did GOP hijack the God to be guardian of their party? Is that too easy to justify an unjust war or a rigged election in the name of God? That political group in the name of evangelist, (Pat Robertson, Hackabee, now Palin) don't have to have any reason but a religious name can rule United States easily. Or as I said, this God is the Feds who rule this country with controled media and government machine of DOD and DOJ.

Did anybody hear how Palin linked Iraq to 9/11?

With a lasso?

With a Foreign Key!
