PALIN: 'ONLY FLAG IN MY OFFICE' IS ISRAELI
Hey, where are all those republicans who were making a BIG fuss over Obama's lapel flag pin?. She is the Governor of Alaska and dshe does NOT think that she should be showcasing Alaska's state flag or the U.S. flag but instead decided to showcase the Israeli flag? WHY AREN'T THE REPUBLICANS COMPLAINING NOW?


President Peres of Israel yesterday met for the first time with Governor Palin and with Senator McCain, who called the veteran Israeli statesman "my old friend." The warm handshake and exchange of broad smiles occurred during an international gathering known as the Clinton Global Initiative, hosted by President Clinton. "I wanted to meet you for many years," Ms. Palin told Mr. Peres, according to an aide to the president. "The only flag at my office is an Israeli flag," she was quoted as saying, "and I want you to know and I want Israelis to know that I am a friend."

84. She's not shooting at moose from the air...
...the moose are just getting in the way of her hail of bullets' intended target: the land of Alaska itself!!!

When she hits a moose she doesn't say "I got one!" She says "Damn, I missed!!!"

10. Luckily I grew up and still live in NY and except for the occasional Jehovah Witnesses showing up
at my door, haven't had a problem with that. I tell them I'm not interested and that I'm a Jew or a Buddhist depending upon my mood. It quickly scurries them away except for one woman. She told me I had such a serene smile and I asked her if she ever looked into Buddhism. I started to talk to her about it and she was Very Interested!!!! :rofl:

or suffers from an anti-social personality disorder. The world revolves around her and what ever comes out her mouth is said just to make her seem better at the moment. It does not matter if she lies, because she knows what she wants and she is going to get it no matter what it costs everyone else.

8. I am not irked by her displaying the Israeli Flag, no, not at all, its her position that its the
ONLY flag she showcases in her office, thats the rub especially coming from a Governor of a U.S. State. Its a very big mistake and poor choice of words on her part imho!

61. Well, I'm sure Governors host small flags from other nations that their state might have
close and healthy trading relations with especially if that nation is purchasing a lot of their state's goods & services. I can see a Governor hosting a small flag in their office as a sign of friendly relations, nothing more.

She knows nothing about Israel. Why should she have a flag? Even if she did know about Israel and support it, why should she have a flag on her desk? How stupid does she think we are? No need to answer that.

That she has OTHER flags such as the Alaskan state flag and the U.S. flag. Why tell the president of Israel this lie? Was she sucking up to the Israeli President Peres? And McCain was there to hear this lie coming from her lips. He should be asked what he knows and if its true.

31. Inspired by her Pastor Muthee's comments about "The Israelites"?
When he did the ceremony on her to protect her from witchcraft he also said:

The second area whereby God wants us, wants to penetrate in our society is in the economic area. The Bible says that the wealth of the wicked is stored up for the righteous. It's high time that we have top Christian businessmen, businesswomen, bankers, you know, who are men and women of integrity running the economics of our nations. That's what we are waiting for. That's part and parcel of transformation. If you look at the -- you know -- if you look at the Israelites, that's how they work. And that's how they are, even today.

If there is an Israeli flag in her office then I am betting she had it put there since she became the VP nominee. Geez. What an idiot, and how much trouble is the country in if McShame and Palebucket get in!!!!

78. Being in the Bible belt, I have quite a few religious channels
included with my cable, but I have them all blocked out. But there are other channels that still show religious programs at times. Occasionally I have seen (while channel surfing) evangelical church services where all the people were waving small American flags as they sang hymns. This struck me as odd enough but on one occasion I was shocked to see that they were waving Israeli flags in the same manner. These flags were probably about the same size as the flag there on her window. Perhaps this is how she came about having one.

55. Can somebody explain that to me.
The Republicans on the surface show that they're fiercely loyal to Israel, yet there are Republicans who angrily claim that the Jews own the media and corporations. I can't get around the inconsistency. Though I think there might be an explanation for the dirty looks I received when I walked into the YMCA wearing a shirt with hebrew lettering. I'm not sure how to feel about that.

It's very confusing.

68. They are " fiercely loyal to Israel," when it serves their means and fall into their overall mideast
plans. They BOTH use each other to justify their end means.

56. Can someone explain the inconsistency?
The Republicans on the surface show that they're fiercely loyal to Israel, yet there are Republicans who angrily claim that the Jews own the media and corporations. I can't get around the inconsistency. Though I think there might be an explanation for the dirty looks I received when I walked into the YMCA wearing a shirt with hebrew lettering. I'm not sure how to feel about that.

It's very confusing.

79. You would probably have gotten the same look with any
shirt with non-English lettering on it. English is the only language these people recognize until they need someone from another ethnic group, only then do they even recognize their existence.
