Sarah Palin Diagnosed W/ Clinical Phychosis
Edited on Sat Sep-06-08 09:01 PM by catnhatnh
A 2006 study by Harvard University shows that those that partake in Glossolalia are shown to have attributes of mild to moderate psychosis

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossalalia

Posted elsewhere under a different title, but I feel this is important to get out-we KNOW McCain's nuts-here is proof she is as well.

"glossalalia" is "speaking in tongues".

1. Hmmm.
This is a bit too much like a "Bill Frist diagnosis".

2. As If We Needed a Medical Diagnosis
That much is evident just listening to her and reading her file.

3. Yeah, she's a rightwingnutcase alright. To go further, I'd say McCain is a whacko, too.
His psychosis is of a different kind, though.

4. Not the road we want to go down
Do I personally think she's batshit crazy? Hell yes. But if this gets spun around by the corporate media as "Librul Obama supporters assault Christian faith", and the media will do exactly that, then we're fucked.

Now, speaking privately about this to people you know aren't right wing shills.... well, that's different :evilgrin:

5. Glossolalia is a basic state of brain function
I'm doing some research that indicates it is a fundamental structure underlying patterned communication.

Anybody can get worked up enough to do it.

9. I was saying this before.
If you suspend the rules of what constitutes a meaningful word, then you should be able to let the phonemes fly out.

6. I've got to back down here....
I'm busy on "the Google" and cannot confirm the Wiki facts on the Harvard study. I BELIEVE she's crazy but CANNOT currently prove it. I posted this twice and now must apologize on a previous post....

13. Somebody recorded a big time preacher speaking in tongues
And then got an interview with him and played the tape for him asking if he could interpret it. The preacher didn't know it was a recording of him and gave an interpretation that was completely different than the one he gave to his parishioners right after doing it originally. Speaking in tongues is either used for fooling others or fooling yourself.

16. I don't even care about the wackiness

Be loony as ya please but don't tread on me.

17. Wow, someone has a stick up their...
Let's just say I'm a pretty good bullshit spotter. I'll admit I can't prove it doesn't exist or isn't real, but I also can't prove Santa isn't real either, but I don't believe in him, ghosts, magic, ESP, talking to the dead, etc. due to the times I have witnessed people claiming experience with something in the list, it's pretty apparent what tricks they're using to deceive. My post was an example of exposing one person using it to deceive his parishioners. Pull the stick out, buddy. It's apparently jammed up there so far, it's pushing against your brain.
