When it comes to Palestine and Israel, the US simply doesn't get it

Palestinians ceased to exist in the United States on Thursday night. Both Joe Biden and Sarah Palin managed to avoid the use of that poisonous word. "Palestine" and "Palestinians" – that most cancerous, slippery, dangerous concept – simply did not exist in the vice-presidential debate. The phrase "Israeli occupation" was mercifully left unused. Neither the words "Jewish colony" nor "Jewish settlement" – not even that cowardly old get-out clause of American journalism, "Jewish neighbourhood" – got a look-in. Nope.

Analysis: Palin eases the hurt in McCain-land

On a day when he abandoned the fight with rival Barack Obama in one battleground state and national polls showed him trailing overall, running mate Sarah Palin put on a debate performance that soothed the pain.

This article, as most of the Zionist controlled main-stream media, makes it sound like Governor Palin held her own against Senator Biden. But, the fact is, she didn't.

It was very clear from the outset that Palin was in way, way over her head. Her handlers had lower the bar for her so low, that all she had to do was show up and not fall down as she walked on stage, to "hold her own." Palin had no idea what she was talking about most of the time - she clearly lacks the depth of knowledge necessary to analyize the complex issues presidents and vice-presidents will have to wrestle with.

Palin responded to well considered national and international policy positions and facts presented by Senator Biden by winking and....well, by saying things that, frankly, didn't make sense. The only thing Palin made crystal clear last night was that she loved Israel. That she made absolutely clear. And, as a bonafided Christian Zionist, she is being rewarded by the Zionist controlled main-steam media. If the good Governor was not such a rabid Christian Zionist and Isreal Firster, the media would call her what she is, a pretty face who can memorize and deliver her lines on cue...

Palin and Biden Stake Claims on Change

My last comment for the night on the debate is an example of Governor Palin's circular reasoning on global warming:

• “I’m not one to attribute every activity of man to the changes in the climate,” she said. “There is something to be said, also, for man’s activities, but also for the cyclical temperature changes on our planet. But there are real changes going on in our climate, and I don’t want to argue about the causes.”

Something to watch for in the coming days - McCain is a strong supporter of Israel and Palin is a rabidly strong supporter of Israel. Both have expressed a devout love for Israel and the "Jewish" people and voiced a desire to relocate the American embassy, which is now in Tel Aviv, to Jerusalem. But, how do the American people really feel about Israel?

Do the American people really share their devout love for the "Jewish" people and Israel?? Do the American people really see Israel and America's #1Middle East ally??? If they do, then McCain and Palin wins by a land-slide, but if they don't, expect to see Obama slowly pull away from McCain as we close in on election day.

Remember Hillary's comment that she would "obliterate" Iran, if Ahmadinejad attacked Israel? How much this comment contributed to her lost to Obama we'll never know, but you can bet, it did have some effect. Of course, this is a subtle but very important point the Zionist controlled main-stream media will never make known to the American public.

The VP Debate: The Strangest I've Ever Seen

Exactly an hour into the debate, Joe Biden began an answer by saying, "Facts matter, Gwen." To him, maybe. To Sarah Palin, maybe not. The pattern, so far, has been one of Biden presenting facts and Palin countering with… saying stuff. Sometimes she throws in a fact, but mostly she seems to be offering a string of approximate policy positions, encomiums to the American spirit, disputed interpretations of Barack Obama's record and anecdotes from Alaska.

Some facts adrift in veep debate

Facts went adrift on taxes, deregulation and more Thursday when Republican Sarah Palin and Democrat Joe Biden clashed in the vice presidential debate.

Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin accused Barack Obama of voting against funding for U.S. troops in combat Thursday night in their much-anticipated campaign debate and chastised his Democratic running mate, Joe Biden, for defending the move, "especially with your son in the National Guard" and headed for Iraq.

And, she really, really, really loves Israel...
