Amos -- Sarah Palin is a tea bagger. Maybe you missed their convention yesterday. I didn't notice one person of color or any other minority as the cameras panned across the room. Did you? "The opening night speaker at the Tea Party convention suggested a return to a "literacy test" to protect America from presidents like Obama --- a segregation-era method employed by southern US states to keep blacks from voting. In his speech Thursday to attendees, former Republican congressman Tom Tancredo invoked the loaded pre-civil rights era buzzword, saying that President Barack Obama was elected because "we do not have a civics, literacy test before people can vote in this country." Southern states used literacy tests as part of an effort to deny suffrage to African American voters prior to Johnson-era civil rights laws." You probably remember that Sarah Palin's father said she left college in Hawaii because she was "uncomfortable" being around all the native Hawaiians. You can't make this stuff up folks.

Yes, Todd and Sarah Palin are laughing all the way to the bank. You have to wonder about those poor souls who stood outside in a line for hours in the freezing cold to get her to sign their books. Also note how often she drags her kids out into the public. So much for her pleas to have the press leave her kids alone and give them their privacy. Let's see now -- how many covers of magazines has Sarah and her family graced? Ever heard of the word "cha-ching". I think she and Bristol got $100,000 to pose for the cover of "In Touch" magazine and let the photographer into their home and take pictures of their children. I guess when it comes to the almight dollar -- the kids are available for photos. Such hypocrisy. And yes, she is a tea bagger.

Sarah Palin's hypocrisy. She, too, is afraid of Rush Limbaugh. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/huff-tv/arianna-sarah-palin-has-d_b_451927.html

Regarding the "Corps" v. "corpse" debate: It seems to me, anyone who's been remotely aware of / involved in / interested in the military would know the difference. (And he's now the Commander in Cheif.) Unless, of course, the teleprompter IS to blame. IF, while using a telepromter, you're just reading off some eloquent words and not putting them in context, I can see where the mistake could be made.

... then there are those who claim to be educated but continue to play the part of the fool, defending the ignorance and juvenile antics of the current President of the United States - regardless of how stupid he appears to the entire world ....

Now that is FUNNY. I didn't have all that fancy education and I still know how to pronounce it correctly.

Obama sees dead people.............................................................................. Although he was educated at prestigious universities and has written several readable and eloquent books, for some reason President Barack Obama does not know how to correctly pronounce the word "Corpsman" – the medical personal of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlKIfzoC8D0 If this was Bush, the resident moonbat would be all over this.
