Sen. Bond Warns Palin Crowd That Obama Wants Judges Who Empathize With “The Gay”
(CBS)
(CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO.) - Taking the stage as one of the pre-program speakers at a Sarah Palin rally here in Rush Limbaugh’s hometown, Sen. Kit Bond, R-Missouri, fired up the crowd by warning them about Barack Obama’s judicial philosophy.
“Just this past week, we saw what Barack Obama said about judges,” Bond said. “He said, ‘I’m tired of these judges who want to follow what the Founding Fathers said and the Constitution. I want judges who have a heart, have an empathy for the teenage mom, the minority, the gay, the disabled. We want them to show empathy. We want them to show compassion.’”
Bond then seized on Obama’s comments to Joe The Plumber, saying the Democrat wants to redistribute wealth.
“He thinks this country should be a government—not a government of laws, but a government of compassion and empathy, not of laws,” Bond said.
Bond was referring to Obama's answer to "Joe the Plumber's" question earlier this month "Your new tax plan is going to tax me more, isn't it?"
"It's not that I want to punish your success. I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they've got a chance for success too," Obama said on Oct. 12 in Holland, Ohio. "My attitude is that if the economy's good for folks from the bottom up, it's gonna be good for everybody ... I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody."
Palin is scheduled to take the stage in just a few minutes, but there are still thousands of people in line outside waiting the Show-Me Center.
After this event, Palin heads to Erie, Pennsylvania, for a closed national security roundtable and a rally. She’ll end her day with a rally in Williamsport, home of the Little League World Series.

well look at this
And Alaska - we''re set up, unlike other states in the union, where it''s collectively Alaskans own the resources. So we share in the wealth when the development of these resources occurs."
The words of ''Socialist'' Palin herself
Who''s the socialist now huh?
I understand that you people are scared and panicking. But can you try to be just a touch less infuriatingly hypocritical?
IN 5 DAYS, YOU, McSHAME, BRAIN-DEAD PALIN, JOE (the idiot)...
can help each other pack, and head on up to ALASKA...Good luck, and God Bless. If there is a God you''ll all be eaten by a pack of wolves
hmmmm I don''t think anyone is surprised by statements like this at a Palin/McCain Klan...whoops I mean campaign rally..
This country is sick and tired of your "culture wars".
We have too many serious problems to deal with.
Pathetic!
Obama wants to disregard the foundation of what has America what it is, that has given Obama the rights to stand before us and say he wants to have judges who will disreagrd our Bill of Rights if they feel sorry for someone.
That means there is no law, and without law, there is anarchy.Followed by dictorship.
Hopefully the self serving intolerant and bigoted hacks will be voted out of office. They certainly are not speaking for the United States of America when they exploit the biases of the unhinged segment of the population.
Plus sarah palin $150,000.00 on clothes, most Americans could have bought a home for that amount!
Besides I think Sarah Palin is really a Terrorist
Breaking News: The Terrorist Group AKA Alaska Independent party Calling on Russia to help secede from the Union
www.chilitoz.com
Extremists Mark Chryson and Steve Stoll former leaders of the Alaska Terrorist group AKA Independence Party and friends of Sarah Palin are calling on Russia to help them gain independence from the United States.
Watch video of Sarah palin addressing The Alaska Terrorist Group also known as The Independence party. They are calling for a civil war against the mainland.

It''s inconceivable that Palin''s clear ties to Chryson have been so under-reported when we should be very fearful of them.
"Extremists Mark Chryson and Steve Stoll helped launch Palin''s political career in Alaska, ... "Her door was open," says Chryson -- and still is.".
Scarier how are we going to heal it?
Who is going to heal it - it will not be these leaders that are calling for division.
Palin - if you are truly going to be the new conservative Christian leader - haw about leading on some Christian principles and call out for the end of the divisive politics. These are not Christian principles.
WWJD???
Do they not remember that hate and lies led to the death of JFK?
With leaders like Senator Bond, is anyone surprised America is in a terrible crisis?
I never thought I would see third world dictator tactics used in American politics.
And otherwise, it is just fear mongering which is clearly being tolerated and encouraged by the Mccain/Palin ticket. Yes, I want to show heart to the all. Did he really also include the elderly...wow, crazy stupid.
JOOOOOOOOOE?
But the second part of what he said was saddest. I have no doubt this man claims to be a "good Christian" but what he was insulting, making up what Obama said, sounds like something Jesus would have said. To love your fellow man, show empathy, do not caste the first stone, love the disabled and the poor. Those seem like the main tenent of Jesus.
Jesus never once mentioned *** as being something bad. Not once. Republicans are the Romans and pretend to be the followers of Christ. Even though they hate his message of helping the poor, of not judging your fellow man, and of not letting greed consume you. It''s pathetic.

1) We do not live in a theocracy (know what that word means?)
2) The Bible doesn''t mention African-Americans obviously, but it sure condones **SLAVERY**
3) Nobody "recruited" me, I came out to mom when I was 16 and had never met a gay person in my life, discussed it in school, or really heard much about it in the media. If you seriously believe gay people recruit, please explain to me how in the world that could possibly work. Could I turn you gay?
Delusional, small-minded morons. Can''t wait until this idiot wind passes.

BTW--given your strict adherence to the Bible, what do you think of Senator Craig; Mark Foley; Ted Haggard; Bob Allen; Glenn Murphy, Jr...just to name a few...
Obviously Palin/McCain empathize with "The Ignorant", "The Angry", and "The Hateful".
How is that evangelical Christians are the most hate-filled people in public life. I think "The Jesus" would be ashamed of them.
They came here to HAVE freedom, not take it away.
Too many Republicans seem to miss that part.
It''s only logical: the more people you exclude from your party, the fewer elections you will win.
Awfully hate filled for a so-called Christian arentcha!
Love -- a Jew
Funny the care and detail shown to part of what Senator Obama said, but none to what Joe the Plumber said.
Carry on with the mascarade that Joe''s an example of what we''re to aspire to.
-"the ***"
-"the Mexicans"
-"the urban people"
-"the non-church-goers"
-"the poor people"
-"Arugula eaters"
-"People who believe in evolution"
Leave all those people out, and pretty soon, folks, you''re only talking to yourselves.

That would be the one, John employed him to show at his rally in Ohio. It seems Joe can''t keep employment with anyone.
Bill Thompson, a pioneer in direct response marketing who advised Perot in his presidential bid
Thompson quote "He needed to make himself look totally white," he said, adding Obama should have acknowledged that even though his skin is slightly darker, he''s still a regular human being.
"It''s going to come down to whether the average Joe or Jane accepts Barack Obama as an African American or a human being," he said.
WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH HIM?
McCain, Palin, and the RNC are delivering a message of fear and hatred.
Obama and Biden are delivering a message of hope for the future.
Enough said. Now go VOTE.
notachance. most of them were native born.
When did you decide that you are straight? Let me guess, you didn''t.. you are just attracted to the opposite *** right? So do you think you could possibly suppress those feelings and instead have them for the same ***? I''m pretty sure you couldn''t.
I never chose to be gay. Right when other guys my age started to be interested in girls, I got interested in guys and it is nothing I could control.
So no if you are educated, you are out also.
And where does the constitution say, "Thou shall not be kind and compassionate."
The argument being made by Bond seems more aligned with the Nurenberg accused who responded with, "I was just following orders."
Solomon tempted the law with mercy and was reknown for his wisdom. Jesus counselled us to love each other. Even the Statue of Liberty invites the tired, the poor, and huddled masses. OOOOOPS! I forgot, the good Christians don''t want any of those foreigners here either.
