Why isn't palin being grilled about her 'faith', like Obama was?

[Philosoraptor]

First of all, she's hiding from the public. Why? Because she's a religious lunatic bent on the oval office and the globe. Second, it was only the paranoid Christian conservatives who asked Obama all those questions about his faith, and it is they who STILL spread the rumor that Obama is a Muslim.

And all you have to do to appeal to the bornagain repubs is mention Jesus one time, like bush did, and out of context too I remind you. bush was asked who his favorite religious philosopher was, and not knowing what the fuck to say, he said "Jesus". That was all it took to fool the bornagain repubs.

Just like they've been doing for 8 years with bush, palin is getting a free pass.

I want to see just one reporter grill her on her faith, who she worships and why, if she plans on forcing creationism into our schools, and morning prayers to Jesus, etc.

I want to know about palin's faith, and I want to know NOW.

1. This is a legitimate question. What DOES she believe?

Would she let her religion affect her decisions, should she inheret the position?

[FreakinDJ]

6. "This War is God given and God approved"

and if she has the chance she'll send over some "God Approved Nuclear Missiles"

Fucking "Air-headed Wack Job" end-timer

[Epiphany4z]

2. because we don't want to

vett her or something that would be sexist :sarcasm:

[GoesTo11]

3. She's white.

[Catch22Dem]

4. Uh, because she IS a paranoid xtian conservative...one of their own

What's to grill her about?

[WritersBlock]

5. Good damn question. n/t

[Submariner]

7. Because no one can find her to ask her a question

Caribou Barbie is missing in action and way out of microphone range.

[RandiFan1290]

8. She's white and the corporate media wants them to win.

She will get a free ride to Nov. 4.

[leeroysphitz]

9. What's to grill? She wears her faith on her sleeve. She makes no secret that she'd like

to make you wear it on yours as well...

[Philosoraptor]

10. Mrs. palin, do you believe in evolution, or gravity, or are you a biblical literalist?

[LiberalFighter]

13. They should ask her questions that she can only answer one way.

Does she believe in creationism or evolution?
Does she believe in creationism or gravity?
Does she believe in creationism or the earth being round?
Does she believe in creationism or the earth revolves around the sun?

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

11. Hmmmmmm....maybe it's because she hasn't given one interview yet where she could be grilled?

[noel711]

12. This will be a non-issue for her..

No one will touch this,

1. because she's white

2. because her values don't differ from the right wing neocons

3. because she's only a sweet li'l girl and we don't wanna make her cry

4. because there's nothing about her that raises suspicion, after all,
her middle name is not problematic, and her church's website has been scrubbed.

[dogtag]

14. Psssssst...she's a Muslim! n/t

[madrchsod]

15. this sums up her faith

[aikoaiko]

16. No nasty videos of her preacher yet.

But when my wife found out what church she attended, she was very disturbed.

[Mesteryo]

17. she won't take questions..

The campaign is still prepping her on how to pretend to be a sensible moderate.

[Rocknrule]

18. Because she is of a pure white Christian name and race, unlike Obama

:sarcasm:

[LostInAnomie]

19. 1. Because she's hiding from the media.

2. Because there aren't any videos or sound clips of her views or the bat-shit crazy clowns that inspired them.

3. Unless it strays WAY off of RW/fundie doctrine, her ill-informed, poorly conceived, bigoted, anti-scientific, anti-reason ideas will be embraced by the Repuke base. As long as they are part of maintaining "Christian" dominance in the public square, no harm will come to her.

20. ..............

[SmileyRose]

21. that had NOTHING to do with faith. - it had to do with scaring the shit out of white people

[amber_86]

22. Please

If she is a real real Christian, than why does she kill God's Creatures just for fun. And pray to God for gas lines that worth $30 million dollars. And Say that God wanted this war, and and taking women rights away. I think not. God give everyone free will. And I don't think he will want you to pray for things like that. I think the real prayer goes this way Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen does it say give me give me? I think she might like to reread the Bible again. And God is for Peace not War.

[Crunchy Frog]

23. I want to know if she believes Jews deserve terrorist attacks.

And I want people in the media to ask her that question.

[Philosoraptor]

24. ...........

[Tindalos]

25. They don't want people to know what she believes.

The GOP are relying on the average person to think she is one of them. If she opens up about her beliefs, voters will realize she is nothing like them. This is unlikely to happen since the GOP own the media. In an ideal world, religion shouldn't even be an issue during elections. In this imperfect world, she SHOULD be grilled about her faith since they were so adamant about Obama's.

[Madrone]

26. Because SHE has a WASP-y name!

And as is well known - Republicans never hold themselves to the same standards they set for everyone else.
