Using McCain campaign logic we can therefore conclude that Sarah also thinks these thoughts and likely will nuke Israel.

Because all right wingers are bigoted, right? Judging from this forum, I'd say it's the left that's bigoted.

People you take the time to quote, especially in public, must be people you respect and admire, right Sarah Palin?

Correct me if I'm wrong....but she doesn't actually know pegler, right? She doesn't and hasn't called pegler her 'spritual mentor', has she? She took a qoute from a book. Tempest in a teacup, if you ask me.

Now, if you want to talk about that crazy azz church she goes to -- then we have something of substance to discuss.
