From the Katie Couric interview

Palin states, The way that I have understood the world is

a) through education,
b) through books,

c) through mediums that have provided me a lot of perspective on the world.

Is her witch doctor from Kenya her medium for world policies?
Is she talking to God through her witch doctor?
In who's imagine does she see God, her witch doctor?

SIN EATERS--We take the moral excrement we find in this equation and we bury it down deep inside of us so that the rest of our case can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible and absolutely necessary.

    Are you really just as ignorant as you seem to be, but then again I don't consult with a preacher that believes in witchcraft. Go figure!!!

  • Maybe she should go to Jeremiah Wright's church?

    But seriously, you can't judge people on their religious views....thats a privet matter.

    Unless you’re a Scientologist.

    You can't have it both ways. I can respect anyone's faith and their right as non-believers, but as much as we would like to deny such, a politician's faith is no longer a private matter because it is used to set nationwide policies and it is used to discredit or reject a person. You know this, I know this and every potential voter knows this. So Palin and her witch doctor don't deserve any less of a break than, Obama/Wright and McCain/Hagee.

  • You realize there are other definitions for the word medium right?

    My god I hope you are being sarcastic... something tells me you aren't though.

    By the sound of it, she's referring to books, newspapers etc.

    i wonder what books she's read cuz she doesn't know much!!

    one good thing about the bailout is that america has now forgotten that the people of the GOP consider them morons ...

    People claim she has 'executive' experienced. She could have said she relies on the advice of colleagues, - all politicians do - so does the average person, but she didn't.

    She could have said she relies on books, newspapers, or even the internet, but she didn't.

    Both McCain and Obama publicly denounce the remarks and the appearance of inappropriate actions by Wright/Hagee.

    Has anyone heard Palin voice any public objection to the Witch doctor? NO!!!!!

    Instead Palin stood with her pastor and received his blessing, listen to him speak of witchcraft, spew invocations that with God's blessings, God wants her to receive 'material' things to make her a stronger person.

    Yet, Palin condone and repeated these blasphemous invocations saying God wants her to have money to build a pipeline. Palin's use of the word 'medium' was spiritual, not intellectual. Say what you want, but this bothered me.

    That is the most incoherent spewing of blabber I have ever read.

    She meant this-

    "a means of effecting or conveying something: as a channel or system of communication, information, or entertainment; or a publication or broadcast that carries advertising"

    by the word medium.

    Just because you don't think that's what she meant, doesn't change the fact that you're wrong.

    This is an incredible waste of time to even be debating this. I'm not trying to defend Palin, I'm just trying to tell you that you're wrong about her use of the word mediums.

    I can't even believe you seriously believe that... is this some sort of joke?
