Comments on: Palin Opens Up On Controversial Issues

VP Candidate Speaks Frankly With Katie Couric About Feminism, Homosexuality, Abortion And The Environment

[madkeyra2]

At one point I wanted Sarah Palin to be interviewed but now, please no more interviews. This woman is a total nut job. She doesn''t know anything. She can''t give a straight answer on anything. She couldn''t even say what newspaper she reads. What the hell is wrong with her?

[thisandthat1]

YIKES! She''s a journalism major and can''t name even one newspaper or magazine that she''s read over the years to stay in touch with the world? Get the popcorn ready on Thursday night, folks .... this is gonna be good!

[madkeyra2]

I don''t care what anybody says, Sarah Palin is not going to do a good job because she doesn''t know how to speak. Sarah Palins brain is on one of those icebergs in Alaska. Its on Ice. If Sarah Palin doesn''t understand the question she''ll say anything. That is so junior highschool.

They are not real Jesus Freaks. They are purveyors of hypocrisy. Real Christians do not spew the hatred and disdain these phony people do. They claim to be Christians and oppose abortion (which I understand) but then they turn around and say "why didn%u02BBt your mother abort you?" What perfect hypocrisy that is. They supported George Bush, who in the name of religion, started an unprovoked war on lies then castigated those that opposed him. Meanwhile, hundred of thousands died in Iraq, in the name of what? Now they want to do it all over again with McCain/Palin. More lies, more killing, more ripping off the American taxpayer - all blinded by wedge politics and singular issues like abortion. If these people prevail, this country will continue its downward slide lubricated by the hypocrisy of these red state ditto heads.

Only real hardcore liberals could not like Sarah Palin. The more interviews she does, the more comfortable she gets giving them, the more natural she is, the more real she is. Folks, you cannot deny it... she is real. She connects with a whole lot of Americans in a very real way. You liberals can keep denying this if you''d like, but a whole lot of voters vote on the candidate that they connect with the most. That is why George Bush won two elections... because there were moments in each of his two campaigns where he seemed to genuinely connect with the voter in a real and personal way. If the economy improves by November 4th, then Barack Obama will need to find a way to achieve that same type of connection, or he will lose this election.

Sarah Palin reminds me of a 5th grader who is unsure of speaking properly. Always using their hands, as a sign of frustration, trying to get the right words out. Sarah Palin is disappointment. This woman will repeat the same sentence in 4 different ways. Sarah Palin acts as if she needs to build up her vocabulary. Watching Sarah Palin during an interview is troubling because she''s running as VP. This woman can''t speak, she doesn''t know what to say and these are simple questions, my 7 year old daughter could give a better answer than Palin.

Every time I see and/or hear Sarah Palin I can''t help but wonder if she''s really that dumb or whether she''s putting on an act to woo Rednecks.

I think Sarah should lead a geography awareness movement. Points of discussion would include states and borders,which states are located where and which borders they touch and how this relates to foreign policy and healthcare and the economy.

"It would appear that, according to Katie Couric, the great American pastime is not baseball, but in fact it is - killing unborn babies.
Just how many babies to you think should be killed, Katie?
Do you feel it is important to have any and all means available to you to kill a child?
Do you think it is a fundamental right of women to commit murder of unborn children?
Is this what is most important to Liberals these days? Murder in the name of "feminism"?
Why did you mother not abort you, Katie?"

Here we go again. The Jesus Freaks are coming out of the woodwork.

They found a real champion in Palin - along with the rapists, and committers of incest, who previously didn''t have a politician to champion their reproductive rights.
The Jesus Freaks won''t be satisfied until the whole of the planet is teeming with unwanted children of rapists, with no resources or way to feed them.

Of course, they lust for Armageddon, and anything they can do to get their fantasy elevator ride in the heavens is just fine by them.

Sarah Palin is so amazingly superficial with absolutely NO DEPTH. Her supporters know it, too. They are so far in denial it is silly except for the fact that actuarial data indicate McCain has a 37% chance of dying in office and we will all suffer the consequences of this idiot leading our country. WAKE UP AMERICA! WE ARE IN A DEEP CRISIS DOMESTICALLY AND ABROAD. WE CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE THIS PALIN MORON ANYWHERE CLOSE TO WASHINGTON!!!

[shanev137]

Geez....another Katie Couric interview?

Do I even want to read it or listen to it?

Has Palin got any better at not looking and sounding like a total dimwit yet?

[kiwinioe]

Now that the Supreme Court exchange is generally known, it is the responsible thing to release both footage and transcript. Hiding it only leads to misinformation or inaccurate speculation and reflects poorly on CBS as a news organization.

[wevehadenuf]

Yeah right feminist Sarah...thats why you have done nothing to fight for womens issues, equal pay for women for example? Katie please start asking these questions! What has she done? When is this freakshow going to end? This woman can''t even hold her own without a bun hairstyle...no more interviews! The woman has had chance after chance to come up with an intelligent answer, forget it! It''s not happening. Another thing, if your for contraception, was it a wise choice to have 5 kids while pursuing a career in politics?! Sarah''s best friend is gay! Sure!

[mutantdog]

Thank you thank you thank you, Ms. Couric, for not just blithely accepting evasive answers, as so many interviewers of candidates do. And thank you for asking questions of import about her positions and beliefs.

Your interviews have been virtually the only real unabashed insight we as the public have been able to extract from this candidate. I just wanted to express my appreciation and my gladness at seeing a journalist execute their function properly, professionally, and with integrity in such important interviews.

[gypsyzingaro]

I feel dumber have heard her speak.

She''s a feminist? Her "best" friend CHOSE to be gay?

Can you be ProLife and a big game hunter? A hunter of anything?

what is this world coming to?

[rookieat65]

Typical Catie. Ask the same question over and over hoping for a different answer. Wiser and wiser Palin learning political talk.
Will Catie ever hold Bidens feet to the fire or will she continue to "help" him along? "You mean OVER $250K" when Biden said increased taxes on the bus interview.

[jackieprep]

Katie your interview with Sarah Palin looks more like a comdey show and Sarah as Chrissy Snow from Three''s Company. It must be embarrassing for the people of Alaska to watch their Govenor look and sound like a complete idiot to the world. Looking and knowing McCain wouldn''t last a month as President just think Sarah would be President. Yes Sarah would say if we were attacked or our Economy would go into a second Depression Sarah''s only anwer would be " I''ll get back to you" or " can I call my life line".

[holdenlitgo]

He''s boring, she''s snide. Together they pretty much add up to a snide cipher. And having grown up there, Alaska is anything but a "microcosm" of anything. We''re tired of them already and they''ll only take us deeper into the abyss that Bush has pushed us into.

[mortonredner]

Anybody can report the news. But the perceptions you brought out in your most recent interview with Sarah Palin are what we really want to know about the candidates. Go Katie!
