Palin's comments aren't worth any consideration, she's a Donald Trump-like unserious celebrity spouting ignorance from her blowhole, that's to be expected--but McLoony was one election and a heartbeat away from ending this country with the likes of her. He can never be forgiven.

I think she may eventually have a megachurch, this is
her forté, speaking in stupid platitudes, untruths, pointing
fingers at THEY and THEM.. her intonation, everything

That waterboarding is torture and thus a war crime is obvious, but this goes beyond that and equates it to an (obviously forced) baptism! The latter should be offensive to all Christians as denigrating an important sacrament. Not to mention, that the equivalence is likely worse than Bush using the word "crusade" - and detrimental to how we are seen by most of the world.

Amazing there were no gasps from her - likely mostly "Christian" audience.

Sarah Palin is beyond ignorant - she knows nothing about anything or she would not spew such offensive shit with such regularity.

Water-boarding, according to her, is more than just torture, it's an act of genocide.

And since Sarah Palin has no one to tell her this, apparently, I'll say it:
Sarah, regardless of what you've been told, you're not pretty enough to say such ugly things. No one is. They're not Christian. They're not patriotic. They're just ugly. If you can't see that, then the saying "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything" means you just need to stop talking.

Now.

She was on Fallon's Tonight Show just a couple of weeks ago. (The sketch they did together wasn't funny.)

Why do they encourage her?
