2. The media and the bu$h regime had most of the cool aid drinkers
believing that was true.

Many still hang on that belief to account for their support for an illegal war.

<snip>

Palin had "substantial deficiencies," the authors report, and her "grasp of rudimentary facts and concepts was minimal." Those deficiencies became apparent on Sept. 10, when she was getting ready to fly back to Alaska to see her son, Track, depart for Iraq, the authors report. She was also preparing for her interview with ABC’s Charlie Gibson.

"Asked who attacked America on 9/11, she suggested several times that it was Saddam Hussein. Asked to identify the enemy that her son would be fighting in Iraq, she drew a blank. (Palin's horrified advisers provided her with scripted replies, which she memorized.) Later, on the plane, Palin said to her team, 'I wish I'd paid more attention to this stuff."

It's incredible.

12. "Believes in a sky god" And so do a lot of people here
and a majority of Americans. I guess they are all just sociopathic nut bags, huh? Stop giving atheists a bad name by posting such crap.

19. If you believe a witch doctor can heal you you are a sociopathic nut bag
I'm not trying to speak for the person you were replying to, that's just my opinion.

13. shh
The problem is that 95% of the country believes in a sky god, so we have to pretend that is okay.

11. This should not disqualify Palin from seeking Higher office.
Recent history has shown that the ability to distinguish middle eastern peoples from one another isn't a job requirement for the POTUS (unless the brown person in question happens to be named Bandar).

17. Few things in the world are as efficient as propaganda.
Lots of bang for the buck .. as Joseph Goebbels well knew.

20. She believes 'woman was made from a man's rib', etc
She is going to reassure and reinforce many Americans of a similar mindset.

21. She must have picked that one up from "all" that reading she does:
Couric: And when it comes to establishing your worldview, I was curious, what newspapers and magazines did you regularly read before you were tapped for this to stay informed and to understand the world?

Palin: I've read most of them, again with a great appreciation for the press, for the media.

Couric: What, specifically?

Palin: Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me all these years.

Couric: Can you name a few?

Palin: I have a vast variety of sources where we get our news, too. Alaska isn't a foreign country, where it's kind of suggested, "Wow, how could you keep in touch with what the rest of Washington, D.C., may be thinking when you live up there in Alaska?" Believe me, Alaska is like a microcosm of America.

22. There are lots of R senators and congresspeople (and a few D's, too)
who are just as stupid as Palin. That's the really scary part. She could easily get herself elected to the senate in almost any super-red state and, given a R majority, become a very powerful committee chair. There's no rule that says you can't be dumber than shit and still hold high elected office in this country, unfortunately.
