I don't think that Palin honestly has any chance of nomination in the GOP. Many Repubs are embarrassed by her and think she hurts the credibility of their core ideologies. The most likely candidates will be Romney and Huckabee- I'd like to see Rudy G. in there but he's too 'left' for the GOP.
As far as calling the nutcase Phelps and his ridiculous hate messages 'right'- that is incorrect. Phelps himself is supposedly a registered Democrat and has ran for office in the Democratic Kansas Primaries five times. He was also a civil rights attorney (he was disbarred). His biggest lawsuits were discrimiation suits and he's received award(s) from the NAACP. He also supported Al Gore in the 1988 election before he ever opposed him.
I am not stating that his lunacy is 'left' in any way- but his political inclination has always been associated with 'the Left.' Personally, I think you can lump him into the catergory of 'Crazy' and neither party deserves any affiliation with him and his lackeys.
As far as Phelps not being violent- I am here to tell you- I live about 45 minutes away from his 'church' and I have been to places he's been protesting several times. His WHOLE PURPOSE is to induce violence. He wants people to knock him and his cult members out so they can sue for assault. That's his whole reason for existing. Because of him, security guards and police need to be present in order to break up any disruptions or fights. And, if you talk to those idiots they'll tell you that all gays should be burned in an oven just like Hitler did to the Jews. If that's not violence, I don't know what is.
