Palin doesn't think that God's work should be to help the poor in Christian organizations on the south side of Chicago. She thinks God's work is in building an oil pipeline across Alaska.

Why is the pinhead allowed to continue to scratch all over Mashable with his infantile political opines?
Does mentioning what is happening at Wikipedia merit publication here?
Someone should strap a canine Elizabethan Collar on Rizzn's to protect him (and us) from his navel gazing, gnawing, cogitations on political matters.
I don't come to Mashable to read wingnuts. In fact, I come here to read about Social Media.
As part of your international audience... I don't really care to read about American politico at any rate, never mind when ejaculated by an imbecile whose leg humping attempts at polemic fall far short of the Mashable readership standards.
He can barely string two words together, never mind offer anything of real substance.
If you want to make this place political, then you might think about balancing your editorial - lest you become a de facto cousin of the moronic, littlegreenfootball fascistas and - then some lefty will haul off half the Mashable audience in revolt because you've become known as the Social Media's version of Free Republic.

You do realize I'm an editor, right?
At any rate, I'm curious what you can point to in this article that was particularly offensive, or if you're being a troll to draw attention to your Netherlands based-company, Expathos, and your "liberal blogging" ventures, as they were termed by press in CNN.
If you aren't bright enough, as a social media consultant, to see the connections in this article to both newsworthy events as well as quite a few social media trends and tools, I have to wonder how adept at your profession you are.
Baseless attacks are fun, aren't they?

I am more than adept at my job - that's why I can see you are abusing your position here to further your political agenda.
My political leanings are clear - and I keep them where they belong. They are not 'Left' either - I am more of a social anarchist than anything.
I publish a lot of ideas from both sides of the aisle at www.freepressgroup.eu - from a pool of 350 academics, journalists, bloggers and adept writers. So I am - in fact - in a very good position to judge your lame attempts at political analysis... which are nothing more than exercises in partisan propaganda.
Keep yours off Mashable thanks. I think you are trashing the site with the political drivel you write. Stick to what this topic. Social Media.

I played along on Twitter, and thought it was a lot of fun. I don't agree with her politics, but I didn't have anything mean to say, just made up some silly "Little Known Facts" off the top of my head. I think it was worthy of mention here because of the speed with which the meme spread. Someone even created a Facebook app already. If you Google the term, there are more than 25000 results. Big mainstream media took note, as one of the first search results is from the Chicago Tribune. So I say bravo for mentioning it!

@ForReal: "Just another puppet for special interest lobbies in Washington... Thanks, but no thanks!"
As an Alaskan, and yes I voted for her as Governor, I encourage you to check your facts about her before you accuse her of being a "puppet for special interests." She is exactly the opposite, which is exactly why she was elected, and exactly why she's the most popular Governor in America.
Get a clue, before you spout crap like this.

So, if that's what you conclude -- what becomes of his "Country First" slogan? Don't you have to conclude that he's put the country at risk to achieve his personal ambitions? Here's what one friend and former colleague, a woman and a longtime admirer of McCain, e-mailed today:
"I take back anything positive i ever said about john mccain....he put an unqualified, inexperienced light-weight a heart beat away from the presidency. reckless, unconscionable and utterly unforgivable. i'm done with him forever....he put politics ahead of the welfare of the country. i expect that of bush, not john mccain. i feel completely betrayed."

A governor with a 80% approval rating while 87% of Alaskans are positive that she's lying about her hand in having or trying to have her ex brother-in-law fired. Governor Palin appears to be very well-spoken, an advocate of political reform and yes a self-described hockey mom. But she's also a blatant liar who didn't think her plan to attempt to cover up her oldest daughters pregnancy would ever come back to haunt her.
Beto
· 1 year ago
Wow! I read the linked article on possible covering up of the oldest daughter's pregnancy....
What is interesting is the lengths that "good" Christian families will go to to protect the reputation of the family in these cases. The people with means are able to handle such pregnancies one way or another.
Nothing a reporter likes better than someone who comes off as holier than thou. With the national spotlight on her.... kick back and watch the stuff roll in.

As a stay at home mother and supporter of Hillary Clinton. I am shocked at how everyone thinks this woman is an amazing mother just because she chose not to terminate a pregnancy. Most of us know that real mothering begins after you give birth. Passing your special needs child off to someone else to take care of seems selfish at best. Is her husband quiting his job so someone can finish raising those kids. Just a thought.

Sarah Palin gave birth to a baby with Down's Syndrome at the age of 44.
Sarah Palin "opposes the use of birth control pills and condoms even among married couples".
I am disgusted by this irresponsible behaviour. To give birth at age 44 to a baby with Down's because you refuse to use birth control inexcusable. Ignoring the dangers that you expose yourself and your baby to by refusing to use birth control after 40 is negligent and careless. To believe that a woman like this has the opportunity to become Vice President of the United States of America in 2008 makes me ill.
Does anyone else share this opinion?

Poor Sarah,
Daughter age 17 and 5 months pregnant, no wonder she was holding Trig with a giant baby blanket during her mothers announcement. Did she think we wouldn't notice that her teen was sporting a baby bump. And of course the mother of the years answer to the "problem", get those kids to a preacher of course. How great, another set of uneducated poor parents. Super. My question is when is Sarah going to pop out another one, because obviously this family believes in abstinence only birth control, problem is everyone seems not to know what that means. STAY IN SCHOOL, and work on your vocab kids.

Has anyone looked into what the age difference is between Bristol Palin at the time of impregnation and the supposed father? If Governor Palin stands for law and order shouldn't she be seeking charges against him for statutory rape or contributing to the delinquency of a minor?
