Sarah Palin Spiraling Out Of Control

Many conservative pundits have jumped on the anti-Sarah bandwagon, calling either for her ouster or just plain lamenting her as the VP nominee choice. From the Katie Couric interviews to the scandals that cloud her self-imagined reformer image, it seems that she is hiding away from the bad news because it "depresses" her. Like Obama said at the debate, this isn't about the hurt feelings of politicians but Palin clearly doesn't get it. Instead, she uses her rallies to stir up hatred among her base filled with racists and bigots. Today things got really bad on the trail.

From Joe Killian:

I sidled up to one of the Obama supporters and asked why they were there, what they were trying to accomplish.

As he was telling me a large, bearded man in full McCain-Palin campaign regalia got in his face to yell at him.

"Hey, hey, " I said. "I'm trying to interview him. Just a minute, okay? "

The man began to say something about how of course I was interviewing the Obama people when suddenly, from behind us, the sound of a pro-Obama rap song came blaring out of the windows of a dorm building. We all turned our heads to see Obama signs in the windows.

This was met with curses, screams and chants of "U.S.A" by McCain-Palin folks who crowded under the windows trying to drown it out and yell at the person playing the stereo.

It was a moment of levity in an otherwise very tense situation and so I let out a gentle chuckle and shook my head.

"Oh, you think that 's funny?! " the large bearded man said. His face was turning red. "Yeah, that 's real funny…" he said.

And then he kicked the back of leg, buckling my right knee and sending me sprawling onto the ground.

Screams and shouts are turning into violence now. Perhaps it is sporadic, but the evidence of it is scary enough. This doesn't happen at Obama rallies and Barack nor Joe Biden would stand for it. They have class and dignity unlike the Alaskan that stands at the helm of this right-wing ship.

Speaking of Alaskans, the Beluga whale population that lives in the waters off of Anchorage scored a major victory against the Governor today. See, Sarah Palin cares more about oil and gas than saving a species of whales. She tried blocking their endangered status but fortunately the NOAA determined that the whiles deserved the protected status despite the Governor's attempts let the whales fend for themselves. Perhaps the area that they live in, Cook Inlet isn't a pro-America part of the country that Palin loves so much.

Hopefully this one victory against Palin along with the all important one on November 4th.
