Yo! Lets take this female McCarthy OUT of Congress.



NOW

Also, Palin? FUCK RIGHT OFF. Small town are NOT more American or patriotic than people who live in cities, Washington DC or otherwise. FUCK RIGHT OFF with that rhetoric.


SNOB....
The Washington Post's Juliet Eilperin reported earlier on a fundraiser Sarah Palin attended in North Carolina last night. Palin, the item explained, "made a point of mentioning that she loved to visit the 'pro-America' areas of the country, of which North Carolina is one. No word on which states she views as unpatriotic."
This, not surprisingly, raised a few eyebrows. Palin thinks some parts of America aren't "pro-America"? The Post report was a paraphrase, though, and folks wanted to get the whole context.
In order to clarify comments GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin made last night at a Greensboro, N.C., fundraiser about it being in a "pro-America" area, the campaign issued a slightly more detailed version of the pool report that came out yesterday.
The upshot? Washington, D.C., is neither "real America" nor "pro-America." Other parts of the nation? It's unclear, but if you live in a small town, you're probably patriotic from Palin's point of view.
"We believe that the best of America is not all in Washington, D.C. We believe" -- here the audience interrupted Palin with applause and cheers -- "We believe that the best of America is in these small towns that we get to visit, and in these wonderful little pockets of what I call the real America, being here with all of you hard working very patriotic, um, very, um, pro-America areas of this great nation."
She continued: "This is where we find the kindness and the goodness and the courage of everyday Americans. Those who are running our factories and teaching our kids and growing our food and are fighting our wars for us. Those who are protecting us in uniform. Those who are protecting the virtues of freedom."MORE

"Anti-American"

I mean, I pay my taxes and shit, but honestly, I just live here, you know? I neither bleed nor paint my toenails red, white, and blue. Does anyone have a problem with that?
