OpEdNews » IS SARAH PALIN SATAN?

I never wanted to write this. I hoped against hope that I was mistaken. After all, I’ve been wrong before, why not be wrong once again? And who am I to malign an innocent woman? A mother of five? The Governor of a great state? But after watching Sarah Palin at the RNC Convention there is no way of suppressing the obvious conclusion. Sarah Palin is Satan’s handmaiden, if not in fact, Satan herself. You want evidence? Well didn’t she manage to turn her convention into a Witches Coven? You saw the leering, screaming, mocking faces in the crowd as she spoke, didn’t you?

Trust me, America hasn’t seen such faces since Salem days, or closer in time, since Birmingham in the sixties. All that was missing were the sheets and the fiery cross. Ms Palin supplied the rhetoric. She is indeed a rabble rousing orator who stirs the base to its basest instincts. Be careful what you ask for, Senator McCain. You are likely to get it. And in this case you got it. You think you’re in charge? Trust me, my friend; it’s the Devil who drives.

It is undeniable to those of us who saw her at work at the convention that this seemingly warm, loving woman, this mother of five, is not a b---h as some who know her from her past have claimed; she is, however, a certified witch. The first time I heard her speak I was alerted to something demonic that was betrayed by her speech pattern…something strangely familiar there. That hard “r.” No real American has used that hard r since Margaret Hamilton’s witch in The Wizard of Oz.

At any moment I expected Ms. Palin to turn to some child of a progressive and threaten, “I’ll get you and your little dog too!” Only in her case it would be “I’ll get you and your Polar Bear too.’ Lord help us, this woman will not be satisfied until she is wearing the ruby slippers (a state secret: They are presently in the possession of Dick Cheney who slips them on every night, and clicks his heels three times. Fair warning, Sarah, he will not relinquish them without a fight.

Did you notice her shape shifting powers, the powers that alone belong to Satan? She can claim to fight the oil companies while profiting from them, she claims to toss her pitchfork into pork barrel spending while hiring lobbyists to bring in the pork, she claims to stop a bridge to nowhere, only after getting the money for it. Why, she was even able to transform the lout who impregnated her sixteen year old daughter into an all American boy – despite the evidence of his swearing, swaggering performance on You Tube.

McCain, you'd better watch your back!!

McCain, you'd better watch your back!!
Palin also represents a group which will do violence to achieve their goal.... For instance, bombing abortion clinics! Now, McCain is old, but he may not croak quickly enough! Do you think that these people that close to having real power wouldn't at least consider it? Not to mention that they have a great number of certifiable whackos they can count on to be whacky!
These people are ruthless in carrying out god's will...as they perceive god's will!!
Bush has been disastrous!
McCain likely would be worse!?
Palin would be a nightmare!
We should at least consider the possibilities and possible scenarioes. This may be their one shot they ever have at acquiring REAL POWER!!!!!!!!!!
Sounds nasty, but we should THINK ABOUT IT! ...SOMEONE WILL BE!!!!

Satan, maybe, temptress more then likely.

Fundamentalists believe a woman should be subserviant to the man. The scriptures point this out constantly. Eve was a tool of Satan when she tempted Adam. Delilah was the downfall of Sampson. King David was seduced by Bathsheba. In the new testament Paul says that it is better to remain unmarried, but it is better to marry then to burn with lust. Fundamentalists have now been overcome with power and lust. Sarah Palin will probably lose the election, but is the number one candidate for Republican playmate of the year. Most of the sex scandals in the past eight years have involved Republicans. Now we have a candidate loosly referred to as "The Babe". The Babe herself is under scrutiny for infidelity. The way things are going this may really put her over the top. What is with these republican horndogs that are willing to risk an election, just so they can gawk at The Babe. We have seen John Mccains wandering eyes as the Babe introduced herself. Rush Limbaugh calls her The Babe. Is this an election or an erection. They brag about her tv ratings, but i would say that Angelina and Brad doing a live nude interview on Larry King would be off the charts. Larry will be wearing his suspenders of course. Let's just hope the next 60 days will be about the important issues confronting Americans and not what the Babe or Cindy were wearing and how hot they looked. Sarah Palin may not be the first woman vice president, but she may become the first centerfold for The National Review. Sarah Palin may not be satan, but she is the adversary and temptress of the republican party.

Witch? No. Satan? Could be.

You mixed your metaphors a bit here.

Those murdered during the Salem witch trials were the victims, not the evil doers.

Sarah Palin is no witch.

Sarah Palin is one of the good Christians who eagerly screamed for the blood of those deemed "witches." Today, just switch "liberal" for "witch" and you've got the target of Sarah and her pals' unrighteous rage.

So, ... the devil in a skirt with a breast pump she may well be, but a harmless witch burned alive by the cruel media and its liberal supporters? Not even on a good day.
