Thank YOU, Senator BOXER: (Palin) "an extremist"

[WA98296]

Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) has become the latest female Democratic leader to slam Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, telling reporters on Thursday that Palin is "an extremist" and "way out of the mainstream."

"My impression of Sarah Palin is that she can throw a very strong punch, a very sarcastic punch," Boxer began. "I think her speech was laced with ridicule. ... People will respond differently to that. It didn't move me very much. I was uncomfortable with it."

"But the most important thing, it seems to me, is her record and her views," continued Boxer. "She's an extremist. And she's way out of the mainstream. And it's ... hard for me to imagine how Democrats, moderate Republicans, and moderate independents can embrace the McCain-Palin ticket."

1. If the Dems are forced to refer to Palin, they should attach this label every chance they get. n/t

[livetohike]

2. Come on Sen. Boxer - go after them

We need all of our Democratic reps. and senators to speak out.

3. "Extremist".

That's an interesting take. I like it. I think it's apt.

[K8-EEE]

4. She IS an extremist. Her views are in line with Freepers!!

We have to start using that term more to describe her.

6. Palin is so extreme she's to the RIGHT of Freepers - they claim to love America. She hates it !!

Sarah Palin, VP - FACEBOOK

"Over the years, Palin has actively courted the Alaska Independence Party, or AIP, an organization that supports Alaskan secession from the U.S. To be clear, we're not necessarily talking about friendly secession either: As the AIP's founder, Joe Vogler, told an interviewer in 1991: "The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government. ... And I won't be buried under their damn flag."

15. If just opportunism to gain support, her other friends worse: Rush, Newt, Grover, Dobson...

Plus conservative women's groups. Sarah was one of those courted by Newt's GOPAC to find young conservatives to move into gov't. She's embraced creationism, flat-earth views, and looks like someone who doesn't care that she is in over her head. No humility for what she doesn't know.

Amazing and dangerous for replacing a president who has looked ill, and has been ill. A four-time cancer survivor is pushing the odds, and these fundies have been proclaiming they'll push it along. Not saying this just to scare, but they are dangerous crazies.

16. No, Marjorie.... she believes it !!

Get it?! :silly:

[eleny]

5. Oh yes! K&R...

:kick:

[TheKentuckian]

7. Fringe right wing extremist

To the right of Buchanan and William F. Buckley, that's an extremist folks.

8. Boxer is the ONE politico

That is hitting back on Palin and I love it. I already like B.Boxer, but I am liking her more and more.

I don't know exactly what this will accomplish, but someone has to friggin say something and thankfully Barbara is. You GO GIRL!!!

[TwilightGardener]

9. Boxer is nothing if not an astute politician. She knows the perfect attack angle.

[Breeze54]

12. To be fair, Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said it first on Thom Hartmann today.

But I think that's going to be the democratic angle from now on.... via the DNC. ;)

[BeyondGeography]

10. Thank you, Sen. Boxer

:patriot:

[bushisanidiot]

11. It's about damn time. Palin is a friggin' book burner for crying out loud.

her push for "abstinance only" sex ed in schools is why kids like her daughter are getting preggers in Alaska.

she's a backwards thinker, plain and simple.

[Whisp]

19. I'm really curious to know which books she banned - any info on that?

my googling is handicapped - i have an older comp and some sites make it go nutz.

There was a huge list the other day but without verificiation or link

[TwilightGardener]

24. She didn't ban any, IIRC--she asked the librarian if the librarian would

consider it, and the librarian said no. The librarian was then almost forced out of her job, saved only by pressure from the townspeople.

[Whisp]

28. thank you.

for straightening that out. I had forgotten the librarian part and the mission not accomplished.

maybe the librarian will speak out one day and say which, if any in particular, books Palin was talking about.

[bushisanidiot]

27. The librarian refused to participate in censorship and Bitter Palin fired her

the townspeople protested and they even tried to do a recall election to kick Palin out of the mayor's office.. then Palin gave the librarian her job back.

[valerief]

13. Extreme kick

:kick:

[shey1218]

14. extreme kick 2

[chill_wind]

17. That's the word! Kick for Senator Boxer.

K & R

[SeaLyons]

18. Well said Senator Boxer....

[AspenRose]

20. I knew I could count on her!

:loveya:

[Avalux]

21. AND, McCain was reckless and used poor judgement in picking her as VP.

FOCUS ON MCCAIN!!

[Veruca Salt]

22. Senator Boxer!

:loveya: I <3 you!

[truthisfreedom]

23. Whack-job Palin! An extremist nut case!

[EndElectoral]

25. She's simply the ventroliquest's dummy. This is why she's unavaiable for interviews.

[Raffi Ella]

26. That too.

An extremist would be puppet, second in command with the very real possibilty of stepping into the Presidency.

[judasdisney]

29. I predict that the vocabulary term "extremist" will be stolen by Neocons because Dems are too stupid

to seize this urgently needed word and systematically campaign the fuck out of the word like Neocons will.

Because Democrats are careless dumbfuck clowns.

And whimpering simpering drooling retards who deserve the bloody slaughter that is coming our way.
