Here's a short video I just put together about Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin, without a doubt the most craven, stupid, shortsighted, political choice for high office I've ever heard of. This is the kind of thing, following recent calls for attacking Palin, that I'd like to see thrown at her. I literally cannot believe that Americans are being asked to stomach this disastrous choice. Video over the jump.
It's my first video EVAH, so be nice, be mean, be constructive, don't be, I don't care, it's my first baby, and I'm in love.
Many thanks to DKos's very own Mrs Howard Beale, my lovely girlfriend, for much-needed technical assistance. This one's for you, baby. Like many American women, Mrs Howard Beale is PISSED that this woman should be presented to her, and to America, as some kind of rational candidate for high office. So maybe this video can speak for all of our collective rage and disbelief, now.
Props too and tribute to DKos's legions of videocrafters: thanks for the inspiration, thanks for letting me see the concept of open-source political activism in action, and thanks for showing me that I could be a part. If any of you folks see it, I hope you like it!
Like many Dems, I smell blood in the water on this one. Like many are saying, including Jane Smiley at HuffPo, I think Obama and Biden would be crazy NOT to attack her. As Sun Tzu says, one should attack the enemy's weakest point with maximum force: I think we have a great opportunity to take McCain completely out of the race with this one. Added to this that we have a crucial window to define Palin for America before the GOP convention this week.... Let's do this, let's get busy, LET'S BURY THEM.
I case you've forgotten, it's not just that she's incurious, corrupt, incompetent, narrow-minded, etc.: remember that she's a radical Christian fundamentalist, a dominionist devoted to destroying America's pluralistic way of life. She must rather be destroyed (politically, of course) if we're to reclaim our country. This election is for keeps, and John McCain and Sarah Palin must not win.
Peace,
Timmyk
