Sarah Palin is a ghoul, a stinking demagogue with no honour

This website puts it better than I could http://www.politicususa.com/en/sarah-palin-uses-pat-tillman

Sarah Palin spoke in San Jose yesterday, where she engaged in her usual faux-military cheerleading speechiness. Never mind that in Alaska Palin was known for being disdainful and disrespectful of many vets who served her, this is a narrative about the great Divider who waves the flag and loves blood, so naturally she has to mix God and war together. In the course of this, she felt compelled to bring up Pat Tillman since he was from San Jose.

/snip

The problem is, Pat Tillman did not believe in God and nor does his family. His brother, Richard, expressed his disgust for people talking about God at Pat’s funeral on Bill Maher’s show just weeks ago. And Pat Tillman did not want to be used as a political weapon and most certainly not as war propaganda. His death was covered up by our military and made to look like Tillman had died “fighting for our country,” when in fact he had been killed by friendly fire.

Palin actually said "One of those heroes was from right here in San Jose, who gave up the money and the glamor and think what he sacrificed and his family sacrificed, giving up pro-football career to serve his country and he ultimately giving up his life for our freedom. Remember to thank god every day for Pat and for the thousands like him….”

4. It has always bothered the neo-cons that Pat Tillman was not their perfect poster child

An All American Boy, Christian, nationalistic, conservative.

Well, no.

So they just make things up.

5. I agree completely...She is the very worst kind of demagogue

Demagogue - Definition -a leader who makes use of popular prejudices and false claims and promises in order to gain power.

6. ..and you are being kind. Sheis truly without any moral or ethical boundaries..a perfect rw repuke.

I saw Pat Tillman's brother, Richard, on Bill Maher, and it was obvious that neither Pat, nor Richard had any tolerance for that bullshit.

8. Oh Gosh!

Say it isn't so Joe.

9. Not to worry, she says she rather be outdoors in Alaska than in a 'stuffy old political office'.
