Have you recognized the flaw in their plan yet?
Yep you figured it out! The "Team Sarah Phone Bank Blast" is scheduled to take place on October, 12. That is Columbus Day, which means it is a FEDERAL HOLIDAY!
In other words Team Sarah is going to jam up Senate communications on a day when they won't be there to communicate anyway!
I know it is rude to constantly refer to a group of people as idiots, but really. What would YOU call them?
Slow. I would call them very, very slow - though dull-witted, bottom-of-the-gene-pool, overly inbred, and perhaps even dull-witted might do as well, but perhaps idiot is even better.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping they don't have time to reinvent their little ole plans.
Gryphen, I am so glad you posted this. When I saw this from GottaLaff I fell off my chair in laughter. Whoever these people are they are idiots just like Ms. Palin herself.
ReplyDeleteThese fools get to ride on the short bus.
ReplyDeleteOn the one hand most of us working stiffs don't get all the Fed's Paid holidays so we don’t think of them as holidays.
ReplyDeleteBut you would think at least one of Palin’s folks would look at a calendar.
Personally, I think the Federal employees should have to pay matching funds into a pool to let the rest of us have paid compensatory days off to match all of theirs.
But that’s another issue.
Maybe Sarah should adopt it. More work for the same pay, that’s big gov frugality.
awww...that's just sad. "the tiny minded team behind the team" is how their sign off should read.
ReplyDelete"Team Irrelephant" is another.
I think the best thing to do is to let them forge ahead with their plan, unimpeded.
ReplyDeleteTell them Todd and the kids loved single payer
ReplyDeleteNot even close to the dullest tool in the shed...
ReplyDeleteHowever, totally entertaining !
You shouldn't have told them about the holiday!
ReplyDeleteAwwww, Gryphen, Why'd you have to go and tell them? They would have never figured it out, if you hadn't let the cat out of the bag. LOL. Sheesh.
ReplyDeleteha...haha...mwhahahahahahahahaha! :::wiping tears::: they must think that a lack of attention to detail will ensure no one assumes they are elitists. jackasses.
ReplyDeleteUnconsciously Incompetent
ReplyDeleteWhat do expect from followers of a vacuous leader?
Hush! Let them figure it out for themselves
ReplyDeleteAre they serious? I thought Sarah read every possible news source ... ya know, a super fantastic speed reader. Now her clones divy up the Health Care bill and will submit Cliff notes for Sarah to post negatives about on her Facebook and Twitter pages. *Porky Pig voice* That's All Folks
ReplyDeleteBetter yet, they just gave us all the names of the people on the Senate Finance Committee. So...let's call them ourselves on Tuesday the 13th.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Team O' The Twit!!!
What would I call them ?
ReplyDeleteSame thing I would call you and your ilk.
Imbeciles.
Wait, Monday's a holiday? Golly, maybe they can all start calling tonight. I'm sure Sunday evening is a pretty good time to call ..... chuckleheads.
ReplyDeletehttp://thehill.com/homenews/senate/60893-reid-cancels-recess-to-get-healthcare-done
ReplyDeleteThey usually get the WHOLE WEEK off, but will just take off Monday 10/12 and Friday 10/16.
"Useless Idiots".
ReplyDelete-Laz
Since Team Sarah hates the government it's no wonder that they don't even know how it works.
ReplyDeletePalin also, too quit the government because she doesn't understand how it works. It's just too much for her little pea brain to grasp - same for her nincompoop followers.
Res ipsa loquitur.
The "minds" behind "Team Sarah" don't give two poops about health care reform and stopping the bill. What they care about are getting those $5-10 contributions...On Sarah Palin's FB page, every day -- EVERY DAY -- someone just happens to mention that they gave money or are giving money to SarahPAC -- EVERY DAY -- and there's this push to have all her FB fans give $10 on the day she gets 1 million fans. They think SarahPAC is this amazing thing that's going to change the world, when it's obviously the Sarah Palin BOTOX slush fund. It makes me sad, but if you're such an idiot that you spend all day writing on her FB page and listening to Glenn Beck, well, then, HA on you.
ReplyDeleteFirst, you have to convince them that Columbus was not an illegal!
ReplyDeleteI don't care for the health care as written. I would like a better plan. And yes, they are idiots.
I thought the flaw was they'd have to be able to read 15-20 pages
ReplyDeleteCracks me up! What a bunch of goobers. I like how they try to sound intelligent and involved. However, the "...need help reading a 15-20 page section..." gives it away. What? No one in that group can read 15-20 pages without help? No surprise there. Definitely the group in the shallow end of the gene pool.
ReplyDeleteAnon@4:00PM--I just know you were looking into a mirror while you were writing that comment. LOL.
ReplyDeleteI call them typical Sarah Palin supporters -- brain not required equipment.
ReplyDeleteYou should of stayed mum!
ReplyDeleteAnonymous at 4:30: What? After all these months still struggling to hit $1 mill? I think I have heard of more effective public radio fund drives.
ReplyDeleteActually, aren't they just going to leave messages at these offices? I presume the offices have voice mail. I know I get calls from Democratic organisations that want me to call my senator or congressman and just leave a message. I rarely speak to a live person.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't all the voice mails count for something with this group? I'm not saying they're not idiots - they are - but they may still get their (deranged)message across...
Um. According to my calendar Tuesday is Oct. 13.
ReplyDeleteBut I would have missed the significance if it had been Oct. 12 anyway because we don't do Columbus day in California public schools; we get Martin Luther King's birthday off instead.
I thought the flaw was reading the 15-20 pages of the plan. 1. reading that many pages. 2. expecting them to understand anything they read.
Oops. I see my carelessness. They're supposed to call on Monday, not Tuesday before the vote. And for some Monday *is* a holiday. (But not for me.)
ReplyDeleteLOL. Too late to change it. Who is in charge of Team Sarah? The stapled tongue?
Hey, anon 4:00, you're from the Palinistas -- where's the lawsuits y'all were crowing about for so long? you know, the ones you gloated over? You were so excited.
ReplyDeleteEveryone is still talking babygate, and no one is talking lawsuit. Babygate is still being blogged about...
I guess when Sarah realized she couldn't sue (because she lied) that's when you guys decided to hook your wagon the white supremacist's wagon and take care of any truth tellers mafia style, eh?
Keep it classy and keep it real:-) oh, and good luck with your columbus day phone drive. LOL.
by the way, when I call my senator and congressmen, I talk to live people. But, that's just me...
and my party.
Who won.
doncha' know Team Winky is in the Russian time zone?
ReplyDeleteThe collective brain power of Team Palin is truly underwhelming. From the top down this has to be the biggest collection of buffoons in the history of buffoons. Being stupid and unwilling to accept outside advice has been such a strategic success for these clowns, I can see why they keep on consulting only themselves.
ReplyDeleteDo they seriously not understand how stupid they appear to everyone else? Do they not realize that we are laughing our asses off at their expense?
I just put up a post on this at PA and at firedoglake's The Sentinel. Thanks, Gryph!
ReplyDeleteThis should be on HuffPo
ReplyDelete'However, the "...need help reading a 15-20 page section..." gives it away. What? No one in that group can read 15-20 pages without help?'
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding? If Sarahcites read anything like their namesake, they don't read at all.
No, keep calling them "idiots"--it's a public service. Maybe it will finally sink in, and one of the teenyboppers at Team Twit will answer the Clue Phone!
ReplyDeleteNO gop candidates want palin around them during relection time. None.
ReplyDeleteShe has had 1 speaking engagement and that was in China. Forced abortions, very poor human rights record. The speaking engagement was not a success.
She has done nothing for the people of Alaska since she has left, just lined her own pockets.
She threatened law suits, but never through followed through, because you really, really need to tell the truth to win a case.
She has a facebook and twitter account where she is racking in the cash, for what?
Me, myself and I. She may be popular with the peons, but sane people figured out her incompetence long ago.
Happy Columbus Day!!!!!!
I wonder if the HMOs paid Palin to do this.
ReplyDeleteWhat's frequency Kenneth?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chuckle Gryphen...awesome..
ReplyDeleteWhat do the idiots want everyone to read twenty pages of the bill and then tell Team Sarah what it says? Are they trying to figure out how many of their followers can read so that they will know how many will possibly buy the Gospel of Sarah? Secondly, they should have said just fax up copies of $10 or $20 bills as your donation.
ReplyDeleteThis is one team with out a rudder or a point guard!
Anon@3:12, I am a federal employee, and for the record, I hate having this "holiday." I don't understand why we are celebrating someone who was as horrible as C.C. Also, we get President's Day off and Veteran's Day off, and while I don't object to those two, we don't get "day after Txgiving" and "day after Xmas", the way many other people do.
ReplyDeleteI'd gladly switch! They won't let us!
OMG - super-suffragette and presumed-liberal Susan B Anthony must be turning over in her grave!
ReplyDeleteFor some reason - boredom, I think - I followed the SarahPac link and did you know the fund-drive is sponsored by the SUSAN B ANTHONY LIST? Which is a fervent ANTI-CHOICE organisation!
Oh, and I looked up Anthony on Wikipedia to see if, maybe, she was "anti-abortion", but it didn't say she was, so I ASSUME she'd be for Choice.
Some blogger should look into this group. Maybe the "shade" of Susan B Anthony....
When you said "stay vigilant for the flaw in their plan" I thought the flaw was that they were asking for help in reading a 15-20 page section of the health care bill. No one in that group has the necessary above-3rd-grade reading skills to accomplish this. So I thought that was the flaw. Heh.
ReplyDeleteI think those of you who attacked Anon at 4:00 read the post incorrectly. Or maybe I did. I read it as WE should call our representatives on Tues in opposition to Team Stupid.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, I wish Gryphen and other sites hadn't posted this and just let them call on Monday.
GiGi
Idiots.
ReplyDeleteGryphen, that was great! I'm still laughing.
They are so inconceivably stupid, ignorant, racist little pissants.
And even if it wasn't a federal holiday, do they really believe that there little teeny tiny 10% is going to make a difference when 62% of the Nation can't?
"What do the idiots want everyone to read twenty pages of the bill and then tell Team Sarah what it says? Are they trying to figure out how many of their followers can read so that they will know how many will possibly buy the Gospel of Sarah?"
ReplyDeleteJust more proof that Scarah doesn't know how to comprehend what she reads. And is too lazy to read the bill herself. She just might drip some Taco Sauce on it and won't be able to see the words.
Phoebe...Susan B Anthony also fought for womans rights to have birth control available--what shame the extreme fringe right is descecrating her name and the movements she founded.
ReplyDeleteGryphen I think its time again to write a little blog on what has happened with Sarah's and that country bumpkin lawyer Van Fleas threats against you and maybe why they haven't persued them Could it be that Sarah would have to be deposed and testfy and show proof she really is T1's mommy?? Or is it deeper than that and would the real Daddy have to be exposed?? I really don't think Levi would sign over a baby, so who's the Daddy?? Who had access to 15 yr old B?? (besides the Wasilla hockey team)
Maybe YOU and the other bloggers need to push harder, than when Sarach threatens you again--strike first and sue her for defimation, and force her to produce facts :)
Ha, Ha, Ha! Even if there was someone there to answer the phones, cramming all calls into one hour would create havoc. No way could the system respond. That is, assuming she has as many fans as she says she does
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was "but it's a holiday" - then I realized it was TEAM SCARAH so it doesn't matter does it?
ReplyDeleteInsane twaddle - every one of them. They can't read, or process what they read. Even books on tape wouldn't work would it?
Let the crazies have their fun. Looks like the base isn't growing very fast, is it? Wonder if they are aware of how dumb they really are?
CR46@7.08a - I assumed Anthony would be that way about birth control, if she was also for other liberal issues.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a shame that this conservative group co-opted her name!
I assumed that the flaw was asking anyone related to any Sarah Palin group to READ!
