Tales From the PalinPosted on Oct 22, 2008
The ghoulish comic “Tales From the Crypt” is taking a spooky look at the possibility of a Sarah Palin presidency. An editorial by Gathy Gaines Mifsud, daughter of publisher William Gaines—who was a target of a ghastly 1950s Senate investigation on censorship—rails against Palin’s reported McCarthy-esque book-banning stunts while mayor of Wasilla, Alaska.

Hyperbole aside, Ms. Palin, is without doubt the dumbest bunny on the planet. She makes a mockery of the collegiate system of which she is a supposed graduate.
Report thisShe did try to ban books and the librarian stood up to her, consequently being fired but being a most popular part of the city service workers, was reinstated by the city commission against the wishes of Mayor Sarah Palin.
No one can explain the reasoning for Sarah Palin’s obvious lack of credibility, for no other reason than that she is a bible-thumping, tongue-talking, hysterical far right wing chrisitan lunatic. Ms. Palin is the kind of person, that gives Christian a bad name, for she is the backwards thinking, apocalyptic believing person that causes most normal people to run and hide from such medieval concepts.
Book banning is just the tip of the iceberg for Ms. Palin, she would have the US back in the 17th Century
as far as the common man would be concerned, including state sponsored church worship services, blue laws that would make the Pope blush, and living in the late 19th century as far as working conditions are concerned. The industrial revolution was no friend of the common working man, woman and child. She would roll back all child labour laws, do away with the collective bargaining rights of workers and leave no doubt that she is the decider.
Should John McCain, become president, then within a span of two years you would see the worst possible scenario happening. Sarah Palin, would take over the presidency, come hell or high water through a coup or other means of deceit, and then the “fun” would start.
Ms. Palin, leaves no doubt in my mind that she is the worst thing that could happen to this country, other than another presidency of the shrub. She truly believes that she is G-d appointed to become the first woman president and with that she would complete the work of the shrub and the neo-cons.

Let’s pray when the american voters finally vote they will be sending her back to AK where the good people who finally wised up will impeach her and send her back to Wasilla.

the truths about palin are horrifying enough without the use of hyperbole. the book-banning issue was taken up by factcheck.org in september:
“She did not demand that books be banned from the Wasilla library. Some of the books on a widely circulated list were not even in print at the time. The librarian has said Palin asked a “What if?” question, but the librarian continued in her job through most of Palin’s first term.”
