Ed Koch Backs Obama Because Of "Scary" Palin

Politico:

Former New York Mayor Ed Koch, who endorsed and worked for George W. Bush in 2004, is endorsing Obama today, NY1 first reported.

I asked Koch just now what prompted the move.

"The designation of Palin to be vice president," he said. "She's scary."

He said he was alarmed by the report that she'd triggered a conflict with the local librarian in Wasilla, Alaska by inquiring about the possibility of banning books.

Yes she is very scary. And I'm sure there are many more who will NOT vote the ticket because of her, despite what some like to believe.

This is BIG - Ed Koch has never sided with a black on ANYTHING !

[3fingerbrown]

I know where you're coming from, but Ed backed Governor Paterson from day 1.

[ECB]

Did not know that ! I stand corrected - Thanks !

[VeroucaSalt]

Thank you Mr. Koch! And bless you for your honesty.

Where's Colin Powell's endorsement? He knows he wants to.....

[emmaspeaks]

Any woman who supports a woman who has no problem with your child having the same father as you is scary in my book.

[ECB]

WOW !

[Cooper1608]

OH "SNAP"

[belief08]

Can you say Polygamy group. Why isn't anyone checking out that church she attends, they have some weird views to be so-called Christians.

Koch had a nightmare.

He saw fascism kicking at the door of mainland America carrying a cross, an M16, a casserole and wrapped in a hooded white sheet and he said to himself, "Holy eff'n shi+!!"

[SailFree]

That ed Koch was terrified by a totally FALSE sliming e-mail does not speak well of Koch's remaining intellectual capacity or his common sense--or his concern for the safety of the country.

[JiminNC]

Actually, three conversations regarding the possibility of removing books by Palin to the librarian and an attempt to fire her afterward indicate more than "totally false." Sorry but thanks for playing.

[TheIndependenceParty]

And that he would ignore the TRUE slimings that emerge against Sara every day is even more appalling. If you ask me that Koch is just a "shoot from the hip maverick" kind of guy, ... But in this case he pegged "Sally from the Valley" dead to rights.

[kissmygrits]

She clearly tried to intimidate the librarian into banning books. It's true that it didn't work and there was an outcry. Other than that, it's all true. Witnesses have said as much, and anything Palin says at this point is obviously a lie, since all she says are lies.

[CaptainStormfield]

The librarian should have got it on record which books she wanted to get rid of.
So why did Palin fire the librarian? This is not a smear. Its the facts.

POPULATION ALASKA 2006 (WHOLE STATE)

670,053


POPULATION MANHATTAN ( City)

1,537,195


Almost 2 to one and that is just ONE city in New York

MOST major Cities DWARF the entire state of Alaska not only in POPULATION but FAR out weighs them economically.

The Right picks a rookie who does not even know or care about anything that happens outside of her own little lillypad and get all excited about her in 48 hours.


And CHILDREN WANT EVERYTHING THEY SEE THAT IS SHINEY AT FIRST GLANCE TOO!

[barackobama4prez]

she's literally gold-plate­d....glitt­ering her a$$ off.

[kissmygrits]

New York City is more than Manhattan! And it has nearly 9 million people... I live in brooklyn, which is the BEST borough... :) So, take that Alaska...

Loved this comment from the original article webpage!

"You mean there is something scary about a woman who believes God wants her to build a pipeline so that Alaskans' will have the money they need to survive The Rapture? What could be scary about having a woman like that with her finger on "the button"?"
