Palin in "Out of the Closet" Controversy

31. go to w.conservativechristiansfor527ads.com . We need to stop homosexuals from spreading aids. This is just the begginning, if Barack hussein obama is elected are chances of getting aids will go up and tax money will go toward homosexuals for their healthcare and lifestyle.

33. If people feel this is such a petty story, why are there multiple pages of comments?

If anyone has owned a business, cease and desist orders are part of doing business. When you open a business, it's the owners responsibility to make sure there are no copyright or trademarks on the name. The owner simply screwed up and YES they have to change the name or they can get sued and then the courts will eventually force them to change the name. A C&D order gives the business owner a certain number of days to comply and if they don't then it goes to court.

Palin didn't know and by mentioning the store name, rather than just sticking with "thrift store" she publically notified the true owners of that name that someone was using it. It takes years to brand a name and if anyone thinks it ok, please open a business called Microsoft or Coca-Cola and see how long it takes for a cease and desist order to come in the mail.

And I agree, this really isn't TMZ material..

Well Kassie that is your opinion, however lets look at your candidates shall we......
Biden: Can't make up his mind who he is for, what he stands for and basically is very entertaining as he reminds me of ex-President Ford falling down, only Biden does it with his mouth. During the primaries Biden said he didnt think Obama had enough experience to handle this position. Guess Obama paid him off, as he has so many other people, media organizations and possibly even his own family..(Aunt in Boston, will not speak about Obama until AFTER the election, now that screams...WHT NOT???)

As for Obama, he opens his mouth and you fall to the ground, he spouts lovely words, but has nothing to back it up. What is he going to cut, to make life so grand and wonderful to reduce our taxes, to pay for his healthcare plan?
When it is most important for Obama to speak, as in answering all these questions the American voters have been asking him he says oh it isnt true, and then brushes them off (and please don't respond "last minute scare tactics", because these questions have been out there since the primaries), and the Democrats believe him, what has he done to make him trustworthy???
I am voting for someone who has a track record and I know most of his past, he may not be perfect, but I feel safer voting this way

37. RE: Comment from LOL about Palin and socialism and kickbacks to the people of Alaska. Obama's idea of redistribution of wealth is to take (tax) the money from people who earn it and give it to those that don't. The Alaska program is based on the money paid to the state by the oil companies "leasing" Alaska land to drill for oil. It is not a tax, rather lease payments. Rather than put the money into state coffers, Gov. Palin rebates the income, not a tax, to the people who own the land, the citizens of Alaska.

38. John McCain's campaign is looking for a scapegoat. It is looking for someone to blame if McCain loses on Tuesday.

And it has decided on Sarah Palin.

In recent days, a McCain “adviser” told Dana Bash of CNN: “She is a diva. She takes no advice from anyone.”

Imagine not taking advice from the geniuses at the McCain campaign. What could Palin be thinking?

Also, a “top McCain adviser” told Mike Allen of Politico that Palin is “a whack job.”

Maybe she is. But who chose to put this “whack job” on the ticket? Wasn’t it John McCain? And wasn’t it his first presidential-level decision?

And if you are a 72-year-old presidential candidate, wouldn’t you expect that your running mate’s fitness for high office would come under a little extra scrutiny? And, therefore, wouldn’t you make your selection with care? (To say nothing about caring about the future of the nation?)

McCain didn’t seem to care that much. McCain admitted recently on national TV that he “didn’t know her well at all” before he chose Palin.

But why not? Why didn’t he get to know her better before he made his choice?

It’s not like he was rushed. McCain wrapped up the Republican nomination in early March. He didn’t announce his choice for a running mate until late August.

Wasn’t that enough time for McCain to get to know Palin? Wasn’t that enough time for his crackerjack “vetters” to investigate Palin’s strengths and weaknesses, check through records and published accounts, talk to a few people, and learn that she was not only a diva but a whack job diva?

But McCain picked her anyway. He wanted to close the “enthusiasm gap” between himself and Barack Obama. He wanted to inject a little adrenaline into the Republican National Convention. He wanted to goose up the Republican base.

And so he chose Palin. Is she really a diva and a whack job? Could be. There are quite a few in politics. (And a few in journalism, too, though in journalism they are called “columnists.”)

As proof that she is, McCain aides now say Palin is “going rogue” and straying from their script. Wow. What a condemnation. McCain sticks to the script. How well is he doing?

In truth, Palin’s real problem is not her personality or whether she takes orders well. Her real problem is that neither she nor McCain can make a credible case that Palin is ready to assume the presidency should she need to.

And that undercuts McCain’s entire campaign.

This was the deal McCain made with the devil

Thank you! I feel the same way. When I want to be bombarded with politics, I can turn on the nightly news.

Anyway, AIDS is not just a "gay disease". Anybody here remember Ryan White? I can't believe that after all of these years , people are still this ignorant.

40. Not Palins fault. The shop should have checked the directory of buisness names. Simple.

41. New Yorker Magazine, Sept 22nd, the interview WITH Palin where she is quoted as saying that "Alaska is sometimes called America's SOCIALIST state" because "the resources are owned by the state so we are able to SPREAD THE WEALTH around." Huh? Really? Alaska is a SOCIALIST and Palin is the governor of that state, so anyone who votes for McBush/Bible Spice(thanks Alec Baldwin) will be voting for SOCIALISM!!! Also, why hasn't she released those medical records that she told Brian Williams she would? And here comes "Travelgate!!" The Alaska Legislature is now looking into those charges of her flying those kids around and staying in $800 a night hotels - yeah, she's really Joe Six -Pack. I saw a picture last week of Piper carrying around a Louis Vuitton bag, please...All she is is a lying fraud...

44. Uhh....Palin used the word socialism to define how oil money is handled in her state. Her words, not mine. Google it, there for all to read. Article in the New Yorker for an interview Palin herself gave.

Those calling Obama socialist. You do realize there actually is an american Socialist party right, who has a real live candidate running for president this year? Do you also realize this party is incredibly pissed @ the GOP for equating Obama with them?

Obama's proposals are not re-distribution of wealth, just get off that high horse already. See...we have this thing called a government that takes money to run. Programs that many GOP party members voted for, no one screamed socialism then. The middle class used to have tax breaks that made their lives easy. Those got cut, rich people got a tax cut, and here we are. Obama is just reinstating what's there. Where were the cries of socialism when the middle class was getting a fair shake?

The GOP's socialism arguments are just well, funny, LOL.

45. Palin's a socialist - run for your lives!! She admitted that Alaska is a "socialist state" that "spreads the wealth." It's all in New Yorker magazine, in her words, from the Sept 22nd article titled "The State of Palin."
I hope all of you Republicans sent back your distribution checks that you received this summer - it a SOCIALIST program, kids, and I hope you didn't cash your check and participate in it...Bush is a SOCIALIST too!!
OBAMA '08
