Sarah Palin: 'Waterboarding Is How We'd Baptize Terrorists' If I Were In Charge

As a reminder, Al Gore actually WAS vice president. Let that sink in.

Palin is an astrophysicist compared to that walking nutbag of lunacy.

She took five years and four schools to finish a degree in journalism. She isn't an astrophysicist compared to anybody.

Gore's degree was political "science" or something, which makes it odd to me that people listen to him regarding climatology.

There seems to be a lot of misunderstanding about Sarah Palin among Obama supporters. Idiots who voted for Obama - YouTube
 
I'm also not offended by her comment being the heathenous non-religious person that I am.;) I also know her brain and mouth don't always move in sync. But in this case, she could have been using the non-religious word. I use "baptism" myself in business and trust me, I'm not talking about that kind of Baptism.

I can criticize her a lot, and have, but on this one, I guess I don't see the big deal.

Yes of course you don't see the similarity of baptism and waterboarding? Seriously? Let's see, what do they have in common? Water? Check. Water on the head? Check.

Her comments take a torturous act and "glorify" it by comparing it to a religious sacrament. Accident my ass.

You lost me. Where did I say baptism was like waterboarding? And who had (or mentioned) an accident?
 
Good thing she & McCain weren't elected, she'd have the CIA baptising people all over the world.

Gore graduated from Harvard with a degree in "government" and while he did not graduate, attended Vanderbilt Law School. He dropped out to run for office.

Palin went to 6 colleges to get her degree. ( U of Idaho twice)

You suggested her reference to baptism was akin to the expression baptism by fire. As in throwing an untrained employee into a stressful situation on their first day.

I suggest to you that is poppycock. Her reference was intentional and was to the act of baptism itself, alas the blasphemy.

Of course it was, and I honestly don't see how anyone with any respect for intellectual honesty can claim otherwise.

Ahhh, that's where she got that media bias ambushed stuff at! :roll:
 
Argument By Youtube? A cherry-picked selection of idiots is your idea of an argument? Pathetic.

Like anyone will watch? Oh wait, where's Travis? bwahahahaha
 
She looks good for 74, but is still 74. I'm not really into that. But I don't judge people who are, in case you were worried about that, didn't mean to offend you,

I'm not offended - I would have to care what you think to subject myself to feeling any offense with what you post.

No, I said that baptism isn't just a Christian word anymore, which is how "baptism by fire" came about (assuming correctly that you would know that idiom).

But what was the "accident" again?

And you seriously, really think she was suggesting that they were going to baptise terrorists in the Christian sense? I don't.
 
When it comes to terrorists, I prefer baptism by fire. But that's just me....

Speaks to the level of politician we have to choose from these days.

Do religious sacraments mean a lot to you?

In fact I often see leftists using 'quotes' from Sarah Palin which she never made, just as shown on the video.

Those questioned in the interview had just voted for Obama and are very representative.

Yes, her record is here.
After graduating from high school in 1982, Palin enrolled at the University of Hawaii at Hilo.[21] Shortly after arriving in Hawaii, Palin transferred to Hawaii Pacific University in Honolulu for a semester in the fall of 1982, and then to North Idaho College, a community college in Coeur d'Alene, for the spring and fall semesters of 1983.[22] She enrolled at the University of Idaho in Moscow for an academic year, starting in August 1984, then attended Matanuska-Susitna College in Alaska in the fall of 1985. Palin returned to the University of Idaho in January 1986, and received her bachelor's degree in communications with an emphasis in journalism in May 1987.[22][23][24][25]

In June 2008, the Alumni Association of North Idaho College gave Palin its Distinguished Alumni Achievement Award.[22][26]
 
Quick, Deflect! Deflect! Make it about Obama! Hurry!

Watch the video and you'll see a great deal of it was about Sarah Palin and not Barrack Obama. Watch, listen and learn.

The only significant reference to Obama is in the title.
 
Do religious sacraments mean a lot to you?

Nope. Not at all. I do not profess my faith. But I know first hand how important they are to many religious people including my family. I was raised Roman Catholic. I know quite well the 7 Blessed Sacraments.

Prove it.

Do you know what cherry picking means, Grant?
