Thread: Were Sarah Palin’s Remarks Appropriate?

I haven't seen anything about her family in along time. She just really doesn't mean anything to me. I just think it's really funny and kinda sad that you and others are so upset about her being talked about or (picked on). She's not going to thank you for coming to her defense nor does she even know you're alive.

And what does Tyson or Simpson have to do with this?

Hell, man...I'd even get your back if you were being piled on unfairly and Mrs. Palin is most definitely getting far more than her fair share of shit. There's a good reason for it too. The more you good folks keep her in the spotlight the less attention that gets paid to the fuck-up in chief.

I've been thinking about this... I've re-read the transcript of her remarks.

Damn if she isn't following my advice for winning in 2012.

But, especially within hours of a tragedy unfolding, journalists and pundits should not manufacture a blood libel that serves only to incite the very hatred and violence they purport to condemn. That is reprehensible.

Attack, run against the media. Not Obama of whom she said:

President Obama and I may not agree on everything, but I know he would join me in affirming the health of our democratic process

Attack, run against the media... interesting.

Queen Palin knows exactly what she's doing. There's a pattern. She stays fairly quit for a month or so. Then she comes out with some kind of "They're picking on me" tweet and all the palinites send her money to fight whatever evil she dreamed up. Then she laughs all the way to the bank.

Watch and see, in about a month or so she'll do it again.

As much as you hate Obama, you better hope the GOP comes up with someone better then Palin. If they don't it's a sure bet that Obama wins in 2012

Personally, I hope she wins the Republican nomination for President of the USA. She clearly is who Republicans want as their leader and she may even share some of their political positions. I bet that with Marine 1 she can really bag some wolves, and maybe a moose or two.

There is a growing consensus that Palin is in fact 'too toxic' to win. As Erick Erickson said:

First, I do believe that as it presently stands Sarah Palin can make it through a Republican Primary, but given her present negatives and the additional sh…tuff that will be thrown at her by her Republican opponents and a willing media, she will not be able to spend adequate resources to pick up the independents to beat Obama.

That could change.

But to also echo Erick I'd rather go down swinging with Sarah, than 'win' with a RINO, whose only quality would be to fuck over the right a bit slower than Obama.

Granted there are many others in my party that are not RINOs and I could back.

2012 is a long time away. We'll see...

I understand that RINO is Republican In Name Only, but isn't that something new? Could Eisenhower be a Republican today? Or Nixon? Heck, I suspect even Reagan would be thrown to the wolves by today's Republican Party. How do Republicans expect to win if they keep shrinking their base?

Had Democrats turned out in anywhere near decent numbers in November, Republicans would have been clobbered. The chances of Democrats staying home are 2012 is pretty slim.

This is a distinction without a difference and shows the bias of snopes. This story is true and the picture proves it. Snopes admits the pictures are authentic.

Ah, more dishonesty. Picture my surprise.



The claim was "Obama couldn't speak to a sixth grade class without his teleprompters." That claim was demonstrated to be false. Your attempts to obfuscate have failed, yet again.

The truth shall set you free - yet you run from it like a vampire from sunlight.

A quick question - if Ms. Palin didn't want to be in the spotlight, why is she a talking head on Fox, and constantly interjecting herself into the public discussion? Do you honestly believe that if she withdrew herself from the public discourse (that means no more TP rallies, commentary on current events, etc.) she'd still be pulled into it? She's making a lot of money by putting herself out there.

I want to hear you say "obfuscate" 3 times fast after a can of Hot Shit.

Next time just say "confuse".

Our base is growing. My friend you should better look to your own base…

As for your question… no more than Truman or JFK could be a Democrat these days.

It has been said that the 2010 general election turnout is 42% of the number of persons who could potentially have registered to vote and then voted, and it is higher than any midterm year since 1982. The 2006 figure was 40.8%, and the 2002 figure was 39.7%.

That… and your track record on election analysis, both pre-election and post-election, means… well, I’ll take your point under advisement and say to you yet again: look to your base, and don’t worry about ours.

As I have pointed out to you countless times Obama won by a very close margin… Just 954,000 votes in 7 states decided the election… less than 10% of the margin of victory. Plus, 7 EV votes have moved making winning for Obama harder still.

And… he did that with an unprecedented high turnout… so to have a chance he’ll need to do that again.

And… he now has a record to run on… and be criticized for. Can’t do the old ‘hope and change’ crap again.

And… George Bush is 4 years gone… can’t beat on him… and expect to win.

Axlerod is leaving the White House… not because he wants to… but because he has to… they don’t have a plan… a winning strategy. Not yet at least. Axlerod goes to Chicago and will send most of the rest of this year to try and find one.

Good luck…
