Dio, you may be trying too hard to defend Tina Fey here.
Starving Artist, you’re cherry-picking Palin quotes.
“As Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where– where do they go? It’s Alaska. It’s just right over the border.” --Sarah Palin, explaining why Alaska’s proximity to Russia gives her foreign policy experience, interview with CBS’s Katie Couric, Sept. 24, 2008
Oh, & since I got that quote from this page, a couple more reasons I deplore her:
“We used to hustle over the border for health care we received in Canada. And I think now, isn’t that ironic?” --Sarah Palin, admitting that her family used to get treatment in Canada’s single-payer health care system, despite having demonized such government-run programs as socialized medicine that will lead to death-panel-like rationing, March 6, 2010
“The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama’s ‘death panel’ so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their ‘level of productivity in society,’ whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil.” –-Sarah Palin, in a message posted on Facebook about Obama’s health care plan, Aug. 7, 2009
In short, she misrepresented the nature of health care reform to deny subsidized health care to people in Middle America. How many now think that Canada has death panels? She boosted that little bandwagon enthusiastically, & she hurt Americans. As someone who does not believe in a personal afterlife, I want her to suffer in this one until she repents, loudly, publicly, & repeatedly.
