      I'd watch the video, but everytime I hear this woman speak, my hair hurts, my spine feels cold and I hear unholy words being growled out from the depths of space and time as furious insanity breaches the boundaries of my mind. I think she might be summoning, however unwittingly, Yog Sothoth.

        I apologize to whoever gave me a thumbs down. I realize now that Azathoth, the Blind Idiot God, would have been a more appropriate Cthulhu mythos analogy.

          Don't worry, it is just the resident troll who gets off on giving everyone a thumbs-down. Juvenile behavior but who could expect more.

              "Minions who possess no internal organs" is also very Lovecraftian.

                  Oh, I'm so glad you tossed that in.

                  With all the talk of darkness, black robes, and hearing all the prophetic talk from the craziest of voices, I've been wondering if we're actually living in a Lovecraft story.

                  Let me know if they speak a name that should not be spoken and the crowd starts being devoured by whatever is summoned.

              By the way, I just put a "thumbs down" on my own comment above just to beat Seaslug to the punch.

              So if a second one appears, you'll know it was him fighting the good fight, and keeping his boot on the neck of us mangy, Marxist-loving, Beck-hating, fascism-loving, Sarah-grumbling liberals.

            I expect it will be a day of thumbs downs and mostly silence from our Beck worshiping friends. It gives them the chance to express their outrage at us for daring to mock their hero while staying safely in the shadows where they will offer no comments that will show just how lame and embarrassing the Burning Beck Festival truly is.

            Bring 'em on, kiddies. It just give us something else to giggle at.

      Is Glenn wearing a bullet-proof vest?

      I guess he really doesn't want to see God right now.

      Amd Mrs. Palin, please do not talk about sacrificing for your counrty when you quit to make money.

        And how, pray tell, can we "restore America's honor" Sarah?

        Let me guess: it has something to do with re-electing Republicans to power this fall so they can finish their mission to destroy the economy? Because they sure did a whiz-bang job of it last time they had the national reigns.

          You don't seem to have put your capslock on permanently, and your grammar and punctuation are fine. You may need a few repeat viewings to get the full effect.

          I have been watching it too. It is really, really bad. This guy referred to the Ministry of Glenn Beck. Seriously? The crowd looks bored, hot and overwhelmingly white.

            Can you imagine the glare in poor Sarah's face on that stage from all those white people?

            I sure hope she brought her sunblock today.

      So, let me try to get this straight. Palin wants to restore America? I have heard no plans, or rationale as to why America needs to be taken back, or restored. The Republicans offer no solutions other then tax cuts for the wealthy, and they were completely silent when Bush was running a deficit with two wars.

      Until they explain otherwise, this restoring America rhetoric will always be associated with them wanting to take back the White House from the African American President because they can't stand it. It is also a power grab by the Repubs and their corporate masters. They would be very happy with a monarchy system where only conservatives have power.
