In yet another case of Palin Derangement Syndrom from liberal feminists in the media, PBS "To the Contrary" host Bonnie Erbe leveled a low blow by comparing Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) to the radical Islamic regime that harbored al-Qaeda in Afghanistan.
From a September 12 item on the Web site for U.S. News & World Report, where Erbe is also a contributing editor (emphasis mine):
When asked if she believed she was "sending [her] son on a task that is from God," Palin said:
I don't know if the task is from God, Charlie. What I know is that my son has made a decision. I am so proud of his independent and strong decision he has made, what he decided to do and serving for the right reasons and serving something greater than himself and not choosing a real easy path where he could be more comfortable and certainly safer.
Safe for her to avoid answering the actual question (yes, she did call the war, a la Taliban-speak, a "task from God") and wax poetic about her son. Great theatre. Bad interview technique.

How much lower can these
September 12, 2008 - 12:04 ET by bigtimerHow much lower can these women go...Erbe is absolutely despicable here...
How dare she!
You have to be made of steel to put up with something like this when it comes to your children...
Palin terrifies these women like Erbe...they continually make asses of themselves daily..
As far as I am concerned they are slugs...on the other hand, these same slugs are helping us win...so keep up your lowly work you fools.
If Erbe has any class at all she would thank Palin's son, and all like him...but she doesn't.

Bonnie WHO ?

Can't blame Palin for her words. Anyone being drilled by Chuck Gibson is equivalent to being verbally spanked by the librarian who wants her overdue money. Oh the horror of it all. I wonder if Gibson and his minions gave each other the "fist bump". Classy

September 12, 2008 - 15:05 ET by easygoerThe Taliban and Islamic countries stone homosexuals and women who have had the
misfortune of being raped. They also don't allow women to drive, vote,
work or sue for divorce. Yup, the Evangelicals are just like Taliban. What a kook!

September 12, 2008 - 14:35 ET by sunandsteelSarah Palin mentions God and they call it "Taliban speak", yet the leftard candidate Barry has a God Complex and they eat it up. Every day it gets more and more comical.
