The Wrath of an American Voter

It’s becoming increasingly apparent with each news cycle that Sarah Palin’s portrayal as a maverick and reformer is unfounded, and that typical Republicans are becoming increasingly disillusioned with the pick. As the days go on and further evidence of corruption and abuse of power comes out, that’s going to leave only the hard reactionary right of Christian Extremism in her corner.

This makes it very interesting and rather disgusting that Palin’s staunchest supporters, who back her because of her perceived uncompromising far-right religion, are praying for a McCain/Palin victory in November… followed by a swift death for “godless John McCain.”

There’s far-right Fundamentalist Jay Rogers of Florida, for example, who pays some lipservice to the issues of oil and national security, of course, but admits to using those to sugar-coat his reasoning; he likes Palin because she’s a devotee of an End Times cult just like he is. He enjoins his readers to vote for the Constitution Party, a white supremacist organization, but to pray for a McCain/Palin victory, and then for “John McCain’s salvation and speedy death.”

I never thought I would say this, but: Mr. Rogers, you are a terrible Christian, and a piece of shit human being.

Next comes cowardly fanatic “Ixion” who writes in his blog:

McCain’s VP choice, Sarah Palin, suddenly made me want to vote for him, as long as the LORD smites him while he’s in office.

First of all, if you habitually use all caps when typing the word “Lord,” there’s a good chance that you are a dangerous nut. But when I followed the link to that place myself, I was so apalled that I had to take a screenshot and include it in this post:

Yeah, he’s included in his blog post a Photoshopped image of somebody pointing a sniper rifle at John McCain. He is not just going to pray for John McCain’s swift death, he’s calling for his assassination. I am beyond disgusted.

“Ixion,” you are a coward, a psychopath and a disgrace to Christianity, America and your native state of Tennessee. And you are stupid… very, very stupid. Expect a call from the Secret Service… well, any time now. Please resist arrest.

Oh, and one more thing. Listening to radio excerpts of Palin’s attack speech from Wednesday, doesn’t she sound an awful lot like… Roseanne Barr? Her voice has that same whiny, nasal twang that has the same effect as taking a cheese grater to your brain.
