I bring you this little bit of brilliance from the mouth of VP-hopeful Sarah Palin. File this under another reason why Sarah Palin is not qualified to lead this country.
Location: Lacrosse, Wis.
Scene: Town Hall Meeting with voters. One woman asked about hate-crime legislation, specifically The Matthew Shepard Act, which would expand the definition of hate crimes to include gender and sexuality. This act is currently is pending in Congress.
McCain deferred to Palin, and this is what she said (courtesy of the Washington Wire):
"Oh yeah, and the first thought that pops into my head also when you’re talking about rights and you’re talking about freedoms, is we’re talking about Sen. John McCain and what he has done for our country and putting his country first his entire life to fight for freedoms." she said to applause.
She continued: "And Wisconsin, here again, kudos to you, your great Wisconsin guard. About a third of your troops will be over in a war zone in a number of months, in ’09, you guys are going to be over there, helping to defend freedom and defend liberty and the Democratic values that we all cherish so much, again something that Sen. John McCain has dedicated his entire life to. Thank you to Wisconsin for sending your guard over there to protect all the rest of the nation, thank you."
Huh? What? Those are all the words I have in response to this horrific display of stupidity.
