1. Yup, the Palin Dviroce Rumor is pretty fucked up
But it's not a one year old movement of TEH STOOPID.

13. Don't forget the "Sarah Palin gave birth to her own grandchild" bandwagon
That train's still running.

Meanwhile we're still struggling to get a health care bill passed.

Go figure.

3. Except that "we" never claimed the Palin divorce to be
anything more than a rumor (and that it was). The Kenya birth certificate has been faked and passed on as real. And conservative "news" propagandists have perpetuated the falsehood even after being proved false.

11. And the Left doesn't have asswingholenutters all over the airwaves
proclaiming it's true without pausing for a breath. We have that lovely tinge of doubt and reason and restraint.

The biggest difference between the Palin divorce and the faked Kenyan BC is the KBC's public face, Orly Taitz. She's a satirist's dream come true; the jokes almost write themselves.

5. There are not a bunch of lunatics running around proclaiming Palin is divorced
It was a rumor that spread for few hours TOPS.

The birthers are pushing this thing non stop, BIG difference.

That would be semi-entertaining.

6. Lol.
I've been out of this site for the weekend and didn't catch much of the Palin divorce. I had to see it on Political Wire of all places. There is no way we can put out enough divorce material to rival the birthers, even if it happens.

14. Hell, yeah
Someone who will say, "Well, it's probably not true that the Palins are getting a divorce, but they should produce documentary proof that they're not getting a divorce." And devote a week or so of programming to put the most deranged spokespeople out there to publicly wonder why the Palins aren't putting this rumor to rest.

15. People speculate or spread rumors all the time about couples divorcing.
It's normal. Especially normal when you have an unstable person in the marriage.

It's NOT normal to believe that an elected President of the United States is not a citizen. It's completely bizarre. It's on the same level as saying he's the anti-Christ.

DUers:normal

Birthers:freaks

16. Not even close to equivalency in the level of stupidity.
One rumor is based on the hope that they can undo what the voters did, which is elect one of those people as POTUS.

The other is merely idle gossip.

17. No, Obama's birth certificate has been authenticated by the state of Hawaii.
Those who continue to push this story look like fucking idiots.

Rumors about Sarah and Tawd are gossip.

For the record, I don't give a shit about Sarah and Tawd's marriage. I don't care if they stay married. I don't care if they get divorced. It's really none of my business.

18. If your lawyer denies it (which theirs did) it's true
And why isn't she wearing her wedding ring? And why didn't she talk to Tadd at the bye bye speech? And why is she looking for a house in the lower 48, her, not him?


Bet a dollar it's not a rumor, just damage control on their part.

Where is their marriage certificate dontcha know?

26. She didn't just not talk to Taaad
According to Norah O'Donnell, she jumped in a car with the kids and left him to find his own way home.

29. Away from computer all weekend so naturally I missed all the good stuff
whether or not they're divorcing is their business.

But by the same vein, I don't want them to keep coming out for all the "morality" issues that seem to permeate with her brand of politics.

(But I have to admit, I'm loving every minute of this)

And that public face is a wonderfully hysterical, breathless, asswimgholenutter. As in--you can't make this stuff up...

24. The Palin thing is at least plausible. Our day in the conspiracy sun
came during the Jeff Gannon affair when there were several prominent threads investigating whether Gannon was in fact a missing boy from Iowa who had disappeared years before, disappeared by the CIA for training, according to some of those threads.

30. A pending Palin divorce may be a rumor and it may not be.
Edited on Mon Aug-03-09 10:17 AM by Blue_In_AK
Gryphen is sticking by his sources even in the face of a whole lot of opposition from the Palin camp and Mouthpiece Meg. I for one am withholding judgment. While a formal divorce may not be in the works yet, it's entirely possible, and indeed likely, that the Palin marriage is strained.

The Obama birth certificate thing is an entirely different matter.

have her wedding rings on when she gave her going away speech....does that mean something?
