[brooklynite]

[ClarkUSA]

1. No! For real?

Oy vey. :o

[Liberalboy]

2. Is there anything more this woman can do to make her look more stupid?

Any more information? What did you see?

[deadparrot]

3. Unsurprising.

:banghead:

[sniffa]

4. Thanks for the update

I didn't know she was on again tonight. Iceberg straight ahead! :bounce:

[Shine]

5. THAT'll go over well.

NOT. :eyes:

[Samantha]

6. Distract, distract with a wedge issue

Tactical maneuver reminiscent of Lee Atwater. Don't bite.

[firedupdem]

7. Yep..and she has a gay friend! She's a friend to gays! n/t

[Stop Cornyn]

15. The reference to gay friends was scrubbed; I doubt she has friends who have come out to her.

[Arrowhead2k1]

8. lol, is anybody really surprised at this point?

I mean, she's a religous zealot. What did you expect? :)

[blue_onyx]

13. I know. I always assumed that was her position.

[Cha]

49. Ye-ah..anything neaderthal and

and palin is there.

[CakeGrrl]

38. Hopefully, this will push any fence-sitters off for good

Thanks to the cloistering by the McCain campaign, it's very possible that a lot of people don't know where she stands on these issues. I'm glad Couric got to this and got it on the record so any reference to her positions in the debate can't be dismissed as 'gotchas'.

[Secret_Society]

9. SHE is a feminist!?!?!?

[mscuedawg]

42. Check out the Feminist Group that she belongs to...and you'll understand...

10. The fundies will cheer for this. She is turning more independents our way. Keep talking fool!!

[Thrill]

11. You can tell why the conservatives are crazy about this woman

Shes George Allen in a skirt

[Stop Cornyn]

12. If it's a choice why do you have to pray for a "cure"? You don't need a cure for a voluntary status.

[Mad_Dem_X]

25. Good point.

Gads, she is a Grade-A moron.

[TheKentuckian]

14. I think this one should just get the awestruck silence

treatment.

No sense in stirring up mouth breathers fear of catching 'the gay". That's how they got into cheating range last time by raking up muck with all the anti-gay legislation.

[Median Democrat]

16. Explains Her Efforts to Pray The Gay Away...

[Thrill]

17. LMAO she can't name a magazine.

[ClarkUSA]

18. What specific magazines are your favorites? "All of them."

:eyes:

[RagAss]

21. Unreal...she couldn't name one !

[ClarkUSA]

50. My significant other said, "That answer means she doesn't read anything."

Yikes! :yoiks:

[Bigleaf]

19. Palin says, "Don't worry,

[bluestateguy]

20. What was her exact quote?

I just don't want her to be able to weasel out of having said what she actually meant.

[terrya]

22. I have time to edit this.

Using this kind of language...particularly the word "bitch" is wrong.

[Citizen Jane]

23. Wow!

I had not watched her until now. I am stunned. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!!!

[Mad_Dem_X]

24. My God. She is HOPELESS.

Anti-gay, anti-abortion rights, can't name ONE newspaper or magazine...can she possibly get any more STUPID? :dunce:

[medicswife]

26. I noticed she said that about her "best friend" who has made a "choice"

that she has not. I wonder if this supposed "best friend" who has "chosen" to be a homosexual is a real person? And if she is, when she hears Sarah's answer will they still be friends?

[brooklynite]

27. Here's the Money Quote...

As for homosexuality, I am not going to judge Americans and the decisions that they make in their adult personal relationships, I have one, one of my absolute best friends for the last thirty years who happens to be gay and I love her dearly, and she is not my gay friend she is my one of my best friends who happens to have made a choice that isn't a choice that I have made

Say goodnight Sarah. Please.

[terrya]

30. Does she have any idea what it's like to hear something like that as a gay American?

Does she have any idea how angry, how hurtful, how hateful this kind of thing is?

[PA Democrat]

40. She is obviously too wrapped up in her own self-righteousness to feel anyone's pain.

How sick. She will still be your "friend" even if you were unable to make the morally superior decision to be straight like St. Sarah has. She's disgusting. :puke:

[rufus dog]

31. Great - all of her basketball teammates are going to get grilled now.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

32. Are the Log Cabin Republicans going to applaud this?

If so, then they're even crazier than I thought.

[Aloha Spirit]

33. who happens to have made a choice that isn't a choice that I have made

:nuke:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

36. Looks like a refund is in order.

[beachmom]

43. Oh, dear lord. I mean even Bush and Cheney never said that. nt

[jmowreader]

47. The "choice" was not to be a self-loathing moran

And what a good choice it was!

[MissDeeds]

28. Not surprising

Didn't one of her grandparents ride a dinosaur to school?

[rufus dog]

29. Uh - that is what the large majority of Fundies believe

Ask them if males have one less rib, you will be shocked at the response.

[Dr Fate]

34. She may be right-as I would choose homosexuality over having sex with her.

n/t

[grantcart]

35. Oh good cause after 30 years I was interested in changing

now how do I change that exactly?

[progressivebydesign]

37. Being a log cabin republican is a CHOICE, being gay is NOT! Wonder how that'll play with them. n/t

[Bubbha Jo]

46. Religion is a choice. Sexual orientation is not.

[WinkyDink]

39. Link to interview transcript:

[terrya]

41. Joe Biden is going to be addressing an Human Rights Campaign dinner next month.

He should quote Sarah Palin at that dinner. That should generate some more donations to Obama/Biden.

[vaberella]

44. I'm done with this woman. Oy!! n/t

[Lucy Goosey]

45. She really is a self-parody - this is right out of Colbert.

You know, Colbert and his one Black friend, which proves that he's not a racist. Except that Colbert is being sarcastic.

[Okie4Obama]

48. Then I choose you, Rachel Maddow!

Or am I getting homosexuality confused with Pokemon?

[codjh9]

51. I nuked a co-worker once who spouted that shit.
