Palin in "Out of the Closet" Controversy

16. "Why is this chain of stores in California stereotyping AIDS as a gay disease?" Ask the CDC (Center for disease control) or the WHO (WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION) that very question and you will learn that AIDS/HIV is a gay disease with homosexuality as the number one risk factor followed by prostitution and drug use. It is a shame, but that is fact.

17. Obama is cheating his way into the whote house!

Just like did to win a seat on the senate
Just like he did to get the democratic nomination by fraud votes
Just like he is doing now accepting millions from terrorists and telling the country what they want to hear

His behavior is so typical of that of a Communist: trying to brainwash the minds of people by presenting himself like a GOD

How nice for Obama to be able to spend all these millions on informational ads, etc....he is being extravagant. He is not setting a good example. It is kind of contradicting to his preaching....

talks , talks, talks,............that is what he really good at.

America, before you vote for him think of his bad record....think of all the friends he keeps and the consequences it can bring to this country, because HE WILL KEEP THEM for sure......

THINK SMART or don't vote at all!

If I remember correctly, not sure, maybe not in this case, but "Out of the Closet" thrift stores are actually franchises. I know we have a couple in my area, and I've been in other cities that also had them.

But the funny thing is, is that even a D&C can not prevent her from having her store with that name.

You can only really get away with sending a D&C, if the companies are in the same industry.

aka you can't have a fast food place called McDonalds, if you're not apart of the real McDonalds franchise, etc.

So techncially, she can have her consignment shop, and name it whatever the hell she wants, and they can kiss her ass - she doesn't have to comply at all.

Just a lesson in business law :)

19. Can you be any more liberally biased TMZ?!!? There is a world outside of your petty little state filled with pretentious a-holes who know nothing about reality! Why don't you just put We Love Obama as the new banner on your site? I'm done with your site. It's not like there aren't plenty more like it out there.

22. Bashing Palin for a clothing consignment store in Alaska, before it was because of the expense of her clothes...WOW anything to bash Palin. Ok here is a new news announcement, I dare you TMZ to investigate....

Obama's "auntie and uncle" are living in in a rundown public housing in Boston.
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/us_elections/article5042571.ece

Please dont start in about media bias on this one, it is from a UK newspaper. Here is what "auntie" has to say...
Speaking outside her home in Flaherty Way, South Boston, on Tuesday, Ms Onyango, 56, confirmed she was the “Auntie Zeituni” in Mr Obama’s memoir. She declined to answer most other questions about her relationship with the presidential contender until after the November 4 election. “I can’t talk about it, I just pray for him, that’s all,” she said, adding: “After the 4th, I can talk to anyone.”

Now with Obama's plan to "spread the wealth", shouldn't charity start at home?? He wont even practice what he preaches, can you say HYPOCRIT!!!!!!!!!!! Oh and auntie says she cant speak about Obama until after the election, he has everyone stifled until the election, well not me

23. Are you serious? How is this Palin's fault? "What a bitch...the big guys never would have noticed the store if SHE didn't donate?"...You've got to be kidding, right?

And I totally agree...why is AIDS being stereotyped as a gay disease... BY THE STORE!?

24. To Christian voters:

If you vote for Obama you will be denouncing CHRIST

He fools America by saying that he is christian....HE IS NOT!

For 20 years he attended a church that did not believe in the same God we do. The phrase below describes the vision of the church:

"Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community. . . . Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love."

It is the reason why he is so corrupt!

he will have no remorse for any wrong doing (just like a terrorist)

Please America we need to keep our religion , we should not let him take it away.

Don't vote for the faux-messiah!

25. I wish TMZ would stop with the political posts and focus on more celebrity gossip. If I want to hear about Palin, McCain, Obama, or Biden I will turn on the news. But then again, even the "respectable" news channels have turned away from reporting unbiased news to being a mess of a circus. Guess there is no escaping it.....

26. "homosexuality as the number one risk factor "

BUT not the only factor and therefore it should not be insinuated that it is a gay disease. That is a dangerous message to be sending.

27. PALIN GO HOME!!!!!!! ONE MORE THING ...WHAT WILL IT BE TOMORROW.....

28. And how the hell do you make a store in AK change it's name, when it obviously isn't a threat to you or your cause? I've shopped at the CA stores...no more. They just lost a customer. Talk about picking on the little people of the world...that's just mean!

29. Hey #28, if you bothered to keep reading my post you would have seen that I had written "AIDS/HIV is a gay disease with homosexuality as the number one risk factor followed by prostitution and drug use. It is a shame, but that is fact." Please don't give partial quotes with the intention to mislead.

30. She knows more about the value of a dollar... Give me a break, where are you sending your children that it cost $21.000.00 in airline cost?? You can talk that trash to someone else because I'm not buying it. John Mccain had my vote until he picked that airhead Palin as his VP. God help America if Mccain wins, I hope his health holds up.
