Don’t know about St. Paul cops, but Denver’s bullies-in-blue did pull one memorable pre-emptive raid on a house/crashpad where a few anarchists were making protest signs and one of them was out in the driveway, trying to fix a broke-down bus.

Apparently a twitchy neighbor saw the storage tank for the alt-powered bus’s veggie oil fuel and assumed it was them evil turrrrrrrr-urrrrr-ists gittin’ ready to attack with a homemade bomb or something, and called the cops. So the police showed up, chased down the guy who was trying to repair the bus, then burst in on the sign-painters, who were using bricks to hold down either end of their artwork.

Yes, you guessed it: More arrests, and the bricks confiscated as “potential weapons” . . .

Well, Matthews said i don’t exist: Palin just said i’m not using executive leadership skills. Arguable, but most don’t want to be executives, which is why they do it — it is a different skill set. Throw virtual rocks, but i didn’t hear it as so awfully disrespectful, just part of saying she’s run organziations, and he hasn’t — Obama should come back with info on the Gamaliel Organziation’s growth and how many peoples he managed, which was probably significant.

But they’d rather say she’s being mean to poor people, since only Democratic Party policies actually help them. Which i disagree with, so i just chuckle.

Not sure what Palin’s church stands for, but if it is replacement theology, this doctrine is known to lead to some speech that might be seen as anti-semitic. And the Catholic church has been guilty of this too, as many of you know. And very explicitly so.

The church I attend eschews this unfortunate doctrine and believes that Israel is still very much in God’s providence and under His protection.

“’ll believe it when I see it and see it in context, Calliope.”

Oh, so you do agree that if Sarah Palin sat in church for that sermon that she’s an anti-semite? Gonna stick to your guns on that?

It was very illuminating watching Wright preach. And in context. Was it not?

“Brickner also described terrorist attacks on Israelis as God’s “judgment of unbelief” of Jews who haven’t embraced Christianity.

“Judgment is very real and we see it played out on the pages of the newspapers and on the television. It’s very real. When [Brickner’s son] was in Jerusalem he was there to witness some of that judgment, some of that conflict, when a Palestinian from East Jerusalem took a bulldozer and went plowing through a score of cars, killing numbers of people. Judgment — you can’t miss it.”

Sarah Palin, anti-semite! Danny sez so! After all, you sit in a church and listen to someone preach, you must agree with everything they say. Them’s Danny’s rules.

There is NO DOUBT what Rev Wright was up to. No other way to characterize it. It was very clear. But to say that Palin was engaging in same sort of hyperbole for the same reasons is very questionable.

Maybe you need to take a break for a few days.
