Palin Endorses Gay-Baiting Mama Grizzly

ChristineODonnellx180 (Screengrab) | Advocate.com

Sarah Palin endorsed Christine O’Donnell, a Republican candidate for senate in Delaware, who has repeatedly insinuated that her primary opponent Rep. Mike Castle is gay.

Earlier this month, a firm until recently employed by the O’Donnell campaign released a video promoting the “rumor” that Castle was cheating on his wife with a man. O’Donnell has continued to imply that her opponent is gay, in addition to standing by her opposition to masturbation and her belief that viewing pornography constitutes infidelity to one’s spouse.

As for why the former Alaska governor made the endorsement, according to Salon, “Palin did this either because O'Donnell's campaign manager worked with former Tea Party candidate Doug Hoffman, whom Palin previously endorsed, or because of the Tea Party Express. Either way, O'Donnell will probably not win Joe Biden's old Senate seat.”

Wee had an asshole religious bible thumper at work. One day he said to me (I'm partially Jewish) "you people don't believe in the bible". And I said "thats right Ben". And the whole place blew up with laughter. But besides having his mommy bring him lunch lots of the time ( a nice woman who had no idea what she was doing to him), the rumors were he had never "wasted his seed' And one of the younger guys said to us : We've got a pervert in the making". Of course we know that the perverts are mostly repubs. Like the guy who used to come into the store, and take pix with his cell phone cam of the kids who worked there. Took us a while to figure out his game. One day in town I saw this car with a whole bunch of Bush etc type stickers on it. and he and his wife getting into it Oh that I could have written down his license number, found his address, and told his wife to get the police to look at his computer. And then at the video cams we had in the store of him taking pixs

I don't want to mimic MLK, but let me paraphrase one of his lines in his most famous speech and say I look forward to the day when one candidate's gay slur on their opponent motivates the electorate to vote overwhelmingly in his or her favor, voters ignoring (or in some cases reacting to) the homophobic innuendo.

This idiot sounds like someone Palin would endorse. If you melted them both down; you wouldn't find a brain between them! Hers is the same 'head-in-the-sand' logic that says if you keep condoms out of schools; kids won't have sex. Somebody tell that to Bristol Palin. What truly amazes and saddens me, is the number of people in this country who think Sarah Palin is a political genius, and take everything she says as Gospel. If these whack-jobs ever REALLY get control of government; God help us!!

I cannot stand stupid bitches like her and Palin, they are such wastes of life for the planet. Instead of my beautiful little Chihuahua being killed by a rottwieler, I wish that it was Palin, this dumb-ass, McCain, and all of the other right-wing losers out there. They are the ones that deserve to be mauled to death, painfully and without remorse by anyone. That would be justice for the emotional pain that they have caused with their homophobic rants over the years.

Ok girls, here's the deal...We already know this woman is absolutely insane, nuff said. Besides the fact that Mike Castle isn't exactly an adonis, if he was sleeping with a man in this state we would all know. The gossip mill in Delaware is fast and ruthless, so I'm fairly confident that this old man isn't gay. Re: her chances of winning...not a chance in hell. Castle has been in Congress since the beginning of time and is one of the most respected individuals in Congress, so he's almost guaranteed the Senate seat. Would I rather it be a Dem? Absolutely, but I'm not too sure in this case. It's the same deal as Massachusetts where a Dem seat will be lost because the new Dem candidate is worthless. Coons isn't all that bad, but he's just not ready for Senate. I'm sorry to say that the Dems in the Senate will surely lose yet another seat this Nov, but I am happy to say that even though Castle doesn't appear at drag shows, he is a friend of our country, and a wonderful person.
