Here is how Charity Folks describes the event:
Join Governor Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck at an invitation only breakfast on the morning of 8/28 before they speak at the Lincoln Memorial. You and a guest will receive VIP treatment while seated with Governor Palin and Glenn Beck at the head table, and you can remember this once in a lifetime experience by having your picture taken with the duo.
Come celebrate America by honoring our heroes, our heritage and our future at the Restoring Honor Rally on August 28, 2010. Join us at the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. for this non-political, non-partisan rally that will recognize our First Amendment rights and honor the service members who fight to protect those freedoms.
Every day servicemen and women risk their lives to protect our country. It is through the support of non-profit organizations like the Special Operations Warrior Foundation (SOWF) that the families of these service members are taken care of in the event of an accident or loss of life.
"Restoring Honor Rally"? Really?
Damn have the people involved in this charity never heard of a little word I like to call "irony"? Have they not read one of Sarah Palin's Facebook rants, or watched an episode of Glenn Beck's "The Fascists/Socialists/Communists are everywhere!" shows?
After all I would be hard pressed to imagine two less honorable people on this planet.
However the charity Special Operations Warrior Foundation appears to be on the up and up despite the fact that it's title makes it sound more like a right wing militia group rather than a charity that provides money for college.
So if you think you can manage to choke done a couple of flapjacks and sausages while sitting across from Cry-Baby Beck and Undermedicated Barbie you might consider making a bid.
If you are worried that you will not have anything in common with these two here are some possible ice breakers:
- You could discuss the constant eye twitching that results from combining Red Bull and diet pills.
- You could talk about the secret socialist messages that can be found in your bowl of alphabet cereal.
- You might even bring up the use of road kill in wig making.,
- Or you might suggest comparing your children's birth certificates. You know, just for laughs.
You know, her house husband Todd and the ever loquacious Papa Heath.
Why, what did you think I meant?
Ha. Ha. Hilarious. By the way, I was talking to my husband about the boobs. Another site had a quote from someone at the horse race who stated that Palin had about three secret service men with her. It is their job to scout routes. And a limo driver has GPS. No way would a local driver get lost finding such a public place. We think what happened is that she thought she was dressed appropriately. After all, horse races, rodeos, same thing, right? When she realized she was underdressed, that is when she said what she did. Hilarious.
ReplyDeleteHas anyone seen my boobs? No glenn. not yet.
ReplyDeleteThe fine print:
ReplyDeletePLEASE NOTE: All contributions made to the Special Operations Warrior Foundation (SOWF), either directly or through the auction proceeds, will first be applied to the costs of the Restoring Honor Rally taking place on August 28, 2010. All contributions in excess of these costs will then be retained by the SOWF.
that's the day before the palin's wedding anniversary - i know this because it is my anniversary,too, also... sigh. wonder if sarah and todd will spend a hot swingiing evening with ol' beckster....
ReplyDeleteSarah and Glenn together a sure ratings bonanza!
ReplyDeleteWe are joyous for Tripp Palin now that his family is back together for his sake. Will the rest of the unwed teens be forgotten? Who will pay for their education? Who will be paying to raise their babies? Will they be raised to drive big red trucks? Do we need to start putting oil wells in our own back yards like the old days?
The Lifetime Costs Of Raising A Child
Did I hear O'Rielly say that Sarah Palin is an environmentalist? Once the Anwar oil is gone we need to start drilling closer to home.
If you re-arrange "Red Bull and diet pills"...I think you get "Pit Bull on diet pills".
ReplyDelete8/28/63 was the date of Martin Luther King's "I Have A Dream" speech at the Lincoln Memorial. Beck and Palin are disgusting.
ReplyDelete"Besides maybe you will get lucky and Sarah will even bring her two ginormous boobs. You know, her house husband Todd and the ever loquacious Papa Heath."
ReplyDeleteHa ha! I needed a good laugh today. Thanks :)
This sounds like another prime opportunity for Joe McGinniss to make Sarah nervous. He should bid on the breakfast! I didn't see any "Sarah and Glen have to approve of the high bidder" qualifiers on the Charity Folks website... Go Joe!
ReplyDeleteHey, check your title, I think you misspelled excrement.
ReplyDeleteAw, what a cute couple...of crazies
ReplyDeleteThose who study body language know that the placement of her hands signal, "I AM BETTER AND MORE SUPERIOR THAN YOU,"
ReplyDeleteI think that Sarah is flashing the gang sign for "Drill Baby Drill."
ReplyDeleteAh, 4:02, I don't think Sarah is legally able to have Secret Service guys travel with her because she is no longer a VP Candidate during an election season.
ReplyDeleteIf so, we need to protest the misuse of our tax dollars. No moderate or progressive wants anywhere near her.
Seriously, though, those had to be private security guards being paid by private funds. At least that better be the case.
I'm sorry! They will have to pay ME! Fuck both of them.
ReplyDeleteFundraiser? I bet she and Beck glean 98% of the proceeds for themselves and toss the other 2% to the cause.
ReplyDeleteFools and baggers are easily parted with their cash.
Do you think she will show leadership back home in Wasilla? Soldiers don't need honor restored if they don't have to go off and fight in never ending or bogus wars.
ReplyDeleteArmy: Soldiers
Everyone of these charity deals like Quitter Sarah Palin and Clownass Glenn Beck are doing are scams of some sort. What about her daughter's friend? Why did the cat get her tongue? Will she restore Spc. Jeremy Morlock honor? She can't even openly say his name or offer condolences to his family.
What a fraud.
Still think Mercede ia having a problem with her site. It is showing her setting page when I google and click on it.
ReplyDeleteCheck it out.

We know SP appearances are 100K if she can still get it...so add that to the Beckster plus lux air, hotel, ground transport, etc., etc., etc., yeah no doubt it will rake it in for the troops....NOT!!
anaonynous at 4:08 you're right, that is the date of the i have a dream speech delivered by dr. martin luther king on those same steps of the lincoln memorial. mr. piggy and wasilla thrilla are trying to co-opt the spirit of that day for their very unworthy plans and ambitions. i say that progressives and anyone affiliated with the real historic civil rights movement (rand paul not included, of course) should storm the event. they try to hide behind the troops as usual, though.
ReplyDeleteWTF with that little heart shape she makes with her hands?
ReplyDeleteoh, and I'm gonna take a huge pass on the BarfFest with GlennDuh and $arah ... thanks
What a shameful disgrace to to the memory of MLK.
ReplyDeleteand how much you want to bet not a dime goes to the charity? I'm guessing the final chunk of change will go to treat Tawdry ReTodd and Chuckles the Scary Clown to spa treatments
"..who stated that Palin had about three secret service men with her." Personal body guards? goons? She isn't eligible for SS.
ReplyDeleteMercede's site is out again. I was the one who wrote in earlier saying it was working, and it was - for a time.
ReplyDeleteJust hope it's not being attacked. Leah Burton of God's Own Party had run a post a few weeks back talking about progressive sites being attacked.
Not that Mercede is a progressive. I actually don't know or care about her political affiliation or inclinations, but she was talking frankly about the Palin family and some of what she said today was clearly going to get under Sarah's skin. I like Mercede's honesty and sincerity and hope her site is up and running again soon.
kellygirl - thanks for pointing out the "heart" she makes with her hands. Good catch. Glad I ate supper a long while ago, though. Goodness, she is disgusting. - ks sunflower
ReplyDeleteIs the RESTORING HONOR RALLY just another name for a RE-VIRGINIZING YOUR HONOR RALLY? just curious?????Anybody???
ReplyDeleteWhen did our troops lose their honor? Seriously.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Track will join his mother at this event.
Interesting the bit about it being non-partisan and non-political. If she has to stick to that, what the hell will she talk about?
You know that Fox bought that outfit for her. Too conservative and professional to be a Sarah pick. Hair done by Fox stylist too. Toned down version of Gretchen's crazy hair. It's probably in her contract that publicity photos are designed by Fox. No roguey mavericky biker jackets and bumpits.
ReplyDeleteI see she has the teevee personality triangle hand thingy down. Bwahahahahah
ReplyDeletebarf, barf, double...can't stand the way dickhead drools all over himself when $aint $arah is wth him...
ReplyDeleteWhat? Nothing about pre-screening? Nothing about muzzling topics of the conversation? How do they know Joe McGinniss isn't going to buy this opportunity?
ReplyDeleteYeah, Beck and Palin are making sure that they get paid and their expenses taken care of before any money is spent on veterans' families. What a pair of cheap millionaires...only out for getting what they can from whomever they can however they can. Neither of them of has a shred of honor or decency.
ReplyDeleteIs the press allowed at this event ? Cameras ? Will they take questions from the high bidder ? Do the questions have to be submitted in advance ?
ReplyDeleteAnd you can bet that somewhere in the fine, fine print, there IS something about pre-screening and the right to refuse certain bidders. I guarantee it.
Today was a bad day for Palin. Good. Alaska gov, Sean Parnell, is folowing Palin on too many fronts, the latest is communication thru FACEBOOK. LOL.maybe. Then with Bristol & Levi back together, is it really for the sake of Tripp or is it a ploy, possibly instigated by SP to silence Levi from speaking or writing his book? We'll see, but Bristol seems to have Levi by the balls. so I hope that the stated family motive includes Mercede & mom & visits to Wasilla with Tripp. Well, this nightowl is off.
ReplyDeleteAs the mother of an airman serving overseas, I find this event absolutely disgusting.
ReplyDeleteHer security is made up of retired Secret Service agents who apparently know how to dress appropriately for the Belmont Stakes.
ReplyDeleteIt's as close as she'll ever get to the White House. Maybe she's hoping President Obama will stand on the balcony and wave to her.
ReplyDeleteDid anyone notice the FMV (Fair Market Value - for tax purposes) of this item ? Only $5,000 ! So, the winning bidder (right now $16,000) would only get to deduct $5,000 of that for tax purposes (charitable donation). That's BS ! You can bet Glenn and Sarah (who I'm sure won't be reducing their normal speaking fees for this "charitable" event) won't have any tax restrictions when they go to claim their income from this barf-fest.
ReplyDeletewhat is with mercede's blog?
ReplyDeleteit is not there...
???????
I hope you will be fair and post this Gryphen. Hmmm. Mercede's blog is down, right after word is leaked out that Levi and Bristol may be back together (that had to be a deliberate leak, definitely one that Bristol or Sarah wanted out there), and then there is a statement coming from Bristol (supposedly) saying they will "co-parent" Tripp together. This is a complete contradiction of statments about her and Levi's status that she made earlier. Maybe they are dangling a new carrot in front of Mercede after seeing the kinds of questions she is getting and was starting to answer candidly. There was a definite benefit to doling out the answers slowly, so the Palin camp can see where it all was heading. They saw that Mercede can play hardball, too. Maybe that is exactly what Mercede was going for. It seems to have worked, at least for the time being. But I really hope they don't scare Mercede out of continuing to write her blog!
ReplyDeleteAny ideas why Mercede Johnson's blog is no longer available?
ReplyDeleteSadie's blog was linked to by Andrew Sullivan, Gawker, and Perez Hilton yesterday. Simply put it overwhelmed the server.
ReplyDeleteI am guessing that it will be back up sometime today. Everybody needs to stop immediately assuming that there is a conspiracy afoot everytime there is an internet glitch.
Thanks for the lecture - there was no assumption made- it was a question ass wipe!
ReplyDeleteGryphen, shouldn't Sadie's blog be listed under "Sarah Palin's Least Favorite Blogs"? Seems like a no-brainer to me. LOL Shouldn't Syrin's be there too?
ReplyDeleteWTF is up with her hands? Is she channeling the
ReplyDeleteChancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel..?
How much to NOT be invited? I'll pay any price.
ReplyDeleteTip for Gryphen check this : You are mentioned.

I think you stepped on a wonded python. I feel for you guys. I am amazed of the cover ups. I hope Mercede is ok.
ReplyDeletepolitics of intimidation equals the failed GOP leadership. Whew.
The good part is Americans are not that stupid.
The Masonic hand sign (pyramid)is not the only occult sign Tea Party Mascot makes -- ck out the other sign she regularly flashes...
