When Atheists Attack

Sam Harris' words should be written across the sky....oh; but, Palin supporters can't read!

Having read all of Sam Harris' books, I appreciate his enthusiasm despite bit of intellectual dishonesty. The "we want elitists" is a neat trick of purposefully misreading what "elitism" is as a worldview. However, Harris knows that it is a false comparison, and an easy hit. Shame on him for taking such low hanging fruit. Also, I look forward to Sam Harris' critique of Obama's readiness for the presidency since his is much more imminent than Palin's.

What a tunnel vision piece of garbage this article is. Obama has LESS experience than Palin, you bird-brained nincompoop. You don't mention that Palin is a governor, not a senator.
I guess you are pro-Arab because Obama sure is NOT BLACK at 6.25% Negro blood and 43.73% ARAB blood ( Nobody cares about the 50% Caucasion blood in Obama, least of all, Obama).
WHy do you think, looking at Obama Hussein Mohammed Obama and his father's side family names...they are ALL Arab. Even Kenya lists Obama's father, Arab-African. Going back in history Obama's father's line was involved in SLAVE TRADING and now Obama has all the blacks wanting to vote for him! OMG!

When and who is going to tell African-Americans that a vote for Obama is a vote for an Arab-Amercian?

Check the facts: Do a search: "Obama Arab-American"
or check the link to the investigator that discovered Obama's TRUE ancestry: http://kennethelamb.blogspot.com/2008/02/barak-obama-questions-about-ethnic.html

Don't blame me for telling the truth.

How in the world does a hate-mongering, elitest, completely lack of logic writer gain a voice in a publication like this??? I'll take street smarts over graduate degrees any day of the week. Take it from someone who has a graduate degree--- they can be the stupidest people ever. I'll take someone who can think, get things done, perservere, and has the backbone to do the right thing regardless of the supposed "intellectual" debate over a smooth talking, educated with not-much-to-show-for-it candiated anyday.

And tell me again what are Obamas qualifications?,,,,How many times did he vote present instead of taking a stance?,,,

There is hope: Sarah Palin clearly does not speak for all women. Chances are her views are considered extreme and out of touch with the mainstream by the vast majority of American women. You wouldn't know it watching Fox News, though, would you?

Only when Palin actually answers a question from a reporter that's not scripted from R aids will we know if she can tout her as a solid pick. It's more than apparent that many have lost interest - the Rep's aren't confident enough to expose her real answers to the public (are we supposed to wait until she's in office to find out a glaring truth?)....maybe they're afraid that she will bumble positions/answers like McCain has over and over - there's no doubt, I'll stick with the folks who will answer questions and have plans to move forward.

If you change the name for Sarah Palin to George Bush, then this article would be about George Bush rather than Sarah Palin.

Just for a moment let´s forget that these people are running for office. They are just normal folks that you meet at a party somewhere. They have no party affiliation. You have a nice long conversation with Obama and you have a nice long conversation with McCain. Which one would strike you as being more savvy, smarter,more up to date on the issues and most level headed? That´s the one you should vote for.

This article summarizes the perils of the Palin phenomenon better than I have yet read: "the joyful marriage of ignorance and confidence." Brilliant. That is exactly what the Republicans, and Palin especially, epitomize. America cannot and will not make the same mistake for the 3rd consecutive time by electing people to political power that are not intellectually engaged in the world around them.

RE: Comment: "You may agree with the content of the article, but it was inappropriate, poorly written partisan anger."

Well thank you, Bill O'Reilly (with your loofah sponge?)... or ... are you Sean Hannity (still unable to stand-up after drooling over Palin for an hour).

The fact is, seeing you have a Palin-sized education to go by, let me spell it out for you: Sam Harris' article was very well-written. Everyone I know will see a copy. Everyone you know won't see it, because you know it will make them think, and realize, "Hey, this guy is right."

The beginning of the article was persuasive. The author lost me when he suddenly started attributing to Palin a large collection of fundamentalist beliefs, none of which we have evidence that she holds. At that point it was Harris who came across as the religious bigot.
