From now on, when somebody looks up one of the most horrific accusations EVER aimed at the Jewish community, they will think of Sarah Palin.
Ms. Palin welcome to immortality.
(BTW that was actually the result of a hack done over on Wikipedia that has since been repaired. Somehow I don't think they can so easily repair the damage that Palin has done to her brand.)
Update: The criticisms over this horrible phrase have now gone mainstream.
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
Now remember THIS is the NBC Nightly News, NOT just MSNBC or some internet news sites. This is the most watched prime time news broadcast on television.
No way can Palin explain this away by talking about partisan politics, or the "Lamestream media." Like I said this is immortality.
She is such an ass wipe. You know she is shooting her TV right now and screaming, "Me. It's about me!! Turn the camera on me!!"
ReplyDeleteI am thanking God that Palin is such an idiot.
ReplyDeleteI am also thanking God for the man who I have every confidence will deliver an even, wise, compassionate, measured, and inspiring message in Tucson tonight. You know, the man Americans elected as our President.
The President of the United States is giving the eulogy in Tucson.
ReplyDeletePay attention, Sarah - this is how real world leaders sound.
Thankfully, we have an adult for our president.
ReplyDeleteNo hack. Just the ability of anyone to edit Wikipedia.
ReplyDeleteJust listened to the President calling on us all to make this country the great place that Christina-Taylor Green imagined it to be. How much better than prattling on about blood libel.
ReplyDeletePalin is the biggest idiot alive with a flag and teleprompter! The lamestream media had outlined a clear path for her out of her original mess by sugggesting that she needed to apologize for her ill-conceived use of the cross hairs map, even if it were not related to the AZ shootings, and that would absolve her to some extent.
ReplyDeleteBut Nooooo! She created a completely new controversy over the term blood libel! Now how is she ever going to be able to garner any respect by her party or any others? Many news commentators are saying today was the nail in the coffin for Palin's political career, as she is becoming the laughing stock of the fringe right.
President Obama says "I hope you jump in rain puddles" and Sarah Palin shrieks in rage. She will never have his eloquence.
ReplyDeleteSarah Palin Fumbles and Flails Into an Otherwise Solemn Day
ReplyDeleteSarah Palin could have used her time to be a leader -- to take the high road and talk about the heroes and the victims of this terrorist attack. She could have used the time to discuss responsible gun ownership. She could have taken the time to address her people and mitigate the anger and political hatred that's bubbled up around this tragedy. Instead, she diminished the tragedy by conflating it with the attacks against her and her record of inflammatory statements.
And, along the same line, arguably the biggest gaffe of today's narcissistic word salad was her use of the phrase "blood libel." So not only did she opt to whine about her critics on a day when real heroes and real victims will be memorialized, but she also compared the criticism and stress she's endured throughout the last four days to thousands of years of anti-Semitic religious persecution endured by Jews.
Can you imagine how she'll react in a crisis should everyone go insane and elevate her to the White House? "Rachel Maddow is committing a holocaust against me. Wah! Feel sorry for me! Oh, and by the way, we're invading Mexico. God Bless America. And my life is as tragic as a German Jew in 1943, also. Good night!"
The histrionics are staggering, especially for someone who wants to be taken seriously as a potential candidate for national office.

Just listened to Obama in Tuscon. His talk was truly inspirational. There is no comparison between Obama and Rattlesnake. I truly hope he gets a second term. He could become an even greater President. He has done so much up to know and he keeps geting slammed.
ReplyDeleteWhenever she parades her white-trashy reality show attitude into public view, it's an ongoing display of ridiculousness, unrivaled in decades. But today, she veered far from her usual flailing, and jutted her screechy yapper into the wrong news cycle -- on a day when she would have been better served by exercising some self control. On a day when the victims of Tucson will be memorialized and the heroes of Tucson will be elevated to historical prominence, it's no time for a cable TV doof to inject her brand of political masturbation.
ReplyDeleteUltimately, her nincompoopery and fumbly ignorance was completely eclipsed today by her reprehensible tastelessness, proved by the ill-considered timing of her video, and, even worse, by her unforgivable lack of deference to the men and women who have more than earned our attention for at least one uninterrupted day. We can only hope the embarrassment she's enduring as a consequence of today's gaffe-parade will dissuade her from doing it again.

I'm thankful that we can listen to our incredibly eloquent president eulogize these people and try to give us hope. Although we never knew these people, I found it cathartic to listen to the details of their lives. I'm also glad that asshat (Palin) is not getting attention at the moment.
ReplyDeleteI am a boomer and have seen plenty in my life. To me, Palin is presenting a persona that resembles a government leader in exile. Beck referred to the "...fall of the republic…" in his rant. Have I been "looking" too long, or are these folks more dangerous than we imagined?
ReplyDeleteHow hard was it for him to hold it together when talking about a child so near his own daughter's age? Knowing the very real possibility that in our current political climate, it very well could be her.
ReplyDeleteOnly serves to underscore how classless palin truly is.
Anyone who takes Sarah Palin as a serious human. You have much to learn. Can i sell you a bridge?
ReplyDeleteThank God that the people of the United States elected Barack Obama. Can you imagine Sarah Palin giving a speech at such an event? She, instead, continues to perpetuate the hatred and vitriol as she tries to absolve herself of any responsibility for the political climate in this country.
ReplyDeleteWhat a parasite.
ReplyDeleteTwo speeches today.
ReplyDeleteOne this morning from Sarah Palin.
One this evening from the President of the United States.
Both perfect examples of the people that gave them and why each is where they are,
who they are,
and what they are.
ME, ME, ME, HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY LISTEN TO THAT BROWN MAN? THIS IS ALL ABOUT ME! I AM SUFFERING,MY FAMILY IS SUFFERING, THIS IS BEEN A NO GOOD, VERY BAD, REALLY HORRIBLE WEEK FOR ME!!!.
ReplyDeleteLOOK AT MY FLAGS, MY SERIOUSNESS,MY FIREPLACE; I SHOULD BE PRESIDENT, NOT THAT BROWN MAN.
"What matters isn't wealth, or fame or power, but how much we have loved..."
ReplyDeleteOUR President said that!
Well, now we know they use tall bald guys for Obama's security, guess they can see each other in a crowd...I was SO nervous watching him and then realized what a powerful message that was, for him to spend 10 mins or more in a dense crowd.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful speech...just, awesome...and so what was needed...
and my heart was in my throat, when there was that sharp drum snap at the end of the ceremony, as the last fanfare started...
and then I felt guilty for feeling that...
Aurora
Our President is such a compassionate man. I thank all the powers that be that he is our leader in times like this.
ReplyDeleteThe Alaskan banshee is not fit to shine his shoes.
I wonder if sub-consciously she is purposely sabatoging (sp?) her own success. She knows she is not qualified, she knows she is a joke, but she needs an out and continues to behave this way to ensure her epic fall. She is just sticking around as long as she can to collect some cash and then she will be gone forever---one can only hope and the end looks near.
ReplyDelete...If Sarah Palin is the pessimist who sees darkness and evil all corners, Barack Obama is the optimist who always believes that America can and will get better. Palin prays on the weaknesses in the American character, while Obama reinforces the good in us. Before Obama spoke this evening, I went back and watched former President Clinton’s remarks at the Oklahoma City bombing memorial. I was expecting President Obama to walk along the same path that Clinton did, but this president offered something different.
ReplyDeleteClinton gave the nation emotional comfort after a terrible tragedy. Obama gave the nation hope and a direction tonight. It is his strong believe in the American spirit that makes President Barack Obama stand out, and in times of tragedy, when sadness and darkness, fill our eyes and possess our thoughts, the country needs to hear that America will emerge from this time stronger and better than before. This belief in America has made Obama the right person to occupy the White House at this time in our history.
As Obama heals the nation’s wounded heart, Sarah Palin spent the day trying to divide us. While Barack Obama thought about his country, Sarah Palin spent the day doing damage control, and floating ridiculous and selfish death threat stories to the media. Sarah Palin can’t understand what President Obama instinctively does. This moment in our history is not about her. It is about a senseless tragedy that has forced us to examine our political discourse. President Obama gets it. Sarah Palin never will.
http://www.politicususa.com/en/obama-console-america
I haven't always agreed with my President, but I thank God every day that he is my President.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm still glad that I voted for him.
I thought he gave a magnificent eulogy tonight. And every time that I see the way he loves his wife and daughters, it gladdens my heart.
I think she may have pushed her defenders and those in the mainstream media too far this time. I have a feeling there will be many people less willing to give her the benefit of the doubt in the future.
ReplyDeleteSarah says "Yeah it was really sad what happened to those people in Arizona, but look at what happened to ME because of it!"
ReplyDeletePresident Obama spoke of each person who bled and died in this tragedy. Made them real to all of us. Encouraged us to honor them by being better people and citizens of our country.
Quite a disparity in leadership.
In Sarah Palin's egocentric world she has committed a huge mistake by not allowing people into her circle who can provide her with honest critiques and guidance. She slammed the McCain campaign professionals and she is determined to be the mistress of her public persona. Big mistake. But a good one for anyone who believes America can still be the one that your President wishes it to be. What an incredible speech tonight - I sincerely hope that the good can outweigh the bad in your political system.
ReplyDeleteThis nutjob is wearing me out. She needs to go away and let the rest of us get on with our lives.
ReplyDeleteWhen I listen to the tone of our President and when I consider our Playing Shadow President Quitter's rant today, I fall to my knees and thank GOD that Barack Obama won the presidency. What an extraordinary memorial speech!
ReplyDeleteRemarks of President Obama - As Prepared for Delivery
...I believe we can be better. Those who died here, those who saved lives here - they help me believe. We may not be able to stop all evil in the world, but I know that how we treat one another is entirely up to us. I believe that for all our imperfections, we are full of decency and goodness, and that the forces that divide us are not as strong as those that unite us.
That's what I believe, in part because that's what a child like Christina Taylor Green believed. Imagine: here was a young girl who was just becoming aware of our democracy; just beginning to understand the obligations of citizenship; just starting to glimpse the fact that someday she too might play a part in shaping her nation's future. She had been elected to her student council; she saw public service as something exciting, something hopeful. She was off to meet her congresswoman, someone she was sure was good and important and might be a role model. She saw all this through the eyes of a child, undimmed by the cynicism or vitriol that we adults all too often just take for granted.
I want us to live up to her expectations. I want our democracy to be as good as she imagined it. All of us - we should do everything we can to make sure this country lives up to our children's expectations.

ReplyDeleteWhat did we do to deserve him?
His speech helped all of America heal. Thank you President Barack Obama... Thank you to all who voted for him!
ReplyDeleteGovernor Jan Brewer actually did a good job. I noticed she kinda choked when she said Nancy Pelosi's name, other than that, she was cool. (Sarah could learn some lessons from Sister Jan.)
ReplyDeleteShe can't find her ass with both hands. Thanks, Sarah, for being the loser that you are! It makes it so much easier to put up with your brand of sanctimonious bullshit, to watch you frantically scrabbling and snarling your way to irrelevance. Lucky for us you're such an idiot.
ReplyDeleteBy contrast, our president made us proud, again.

She wanted attention. Now she has her wish. Beware what you wish for.
ReplyDeleteOlivia- Just perfect!
ReplyDeleteHer "speech" was awful. Also, too, her face looks fat again and she looks like she has a cold sore that needs tending to.... Sucks to be her.
ReplyDeleteNotice that when the President gave his speech this evening the United States flag was to his right which is the correct place for the flag. In Palin's Vimeo speech the flag is to Palin's left which is in the wrong position. She is being very disrespectful to the symbol of our country. Shame on her.
ReplyDeleteWow! Have you guys looked over $P's wiki page?
ReplyDeleteNot that I consider wikipedia an authoritative source...but...Wow.
Her page reads like a resume. Looks like the palinbots stay pretty tight on that page. Read quite a few snarky entries about Obama too. /facepalm

She blew it. She really blew it.
ReplyDeleteSarah Palin Strike One: Her Facebook I don't know what you call it Arizona statement.
ReplyDeleteSarah Palin Strike Two: Her 8 minute don't blame me I'm a victim rhetoric video with insensitive Jewish comment. It was her attempt to look presidential with American flag, but it created more anger.
Will there be a Sarah Palin Strike Three? Sarah should just quit the me me me behavior.
Her bigotry and hatefulness knows no bounds. I'd call her trailer trash but that is an insult to trailer trash. Her entire clan needs to be in cages for humans to see what a shithead is.
ReplyDeleteAnon 5:36, re: Sasha & Malia... You are more right than you know. Last summer on a visit to DC I brought my kids to see the White House. We were around the back and were shooed away by security. The crowd was pushed away a block. No event, I think the kids were going out to play. You could see several snipers on the roof.
ReplyDeleteThe public did not expect much from Palin in response to her having postessd crosshairs on Gifford. Only two things were wanted. Palin delivered neither.
ReplyDeleteEdit to the above post re: $P's wikiresume:
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's published by the Texas Board of Education.
President Obama is sure turning gray. It
ReplyDeleteseems like the events this weekend have
really gotten to him. He has been through so
much, now he has to comfort the nation, and
the families of the shooting victims, including
the family of a dead child. The weight of
the world is on him--I'm glad he can handle it,
a lot of people couldn't...
By using the phrase "blood libel," Sarah has, in essence, placed her own victimhood above the victims of Saturday's shooting. Her victimhood is EPIC. It rises above everyday victimhood. And she made the statement the day of the memorial service as a way to supersede and undermine, not only the people who suffered and continue to suffer from this tragedy, but also the President.
ReplyDeleteShe has no shame.
I couldn't stand Ronald Reagan, but you had to hand it to him, he had grace and excellent timing. Sarah Palin has neither.
ReplyDeleteReagan also wasn't afraid to face his critics and the media.
Sarah Palin is like an bull in a china shop. A cowardly bull who is terrified to face her opponents in real time.
Barack Obama hit it out of the park with his memorial speech tonight. Palin released her CYA video today, and tried to get ahead of the REAL president. She tried to go toe to toe with him, and failed! I hope you right-wing idiots don't think your're not to blame for the violence, because you are. Barack Obama couldn't point fingers because he's the president. But, I'm not. You are to blame. The damage is done, and $arah Palin will always be linked to a mass-murder.
ReplyDeletePresident Obama's speech in Tucson will trigger much commentary, but in speaking many words, he really uttered the last one. There was a finality to Obama's speech, a lapidary effect that endowed it with humility and gravity. It would be hard to think of a more moving and dignified speech, particularly when set against the foil of Sarah Palin's creepy and self-absorbed effusions earlier today.
ReplyDeleteIn essence, Obama returned to his earliest and most deeply felt theme, which is that optimism, not hatred, civility, not rancor, hope, not despair, should guide and elevate America, no matter how heated or turbulent political issues may become.
But for all the weight and gravity of his talk, Obama had to compose himself at the end of his talk, when he spoke of Christina-Taylor Green skipping through rain puddles in heaven. Perhaps you could even say that there was something angelic about Obama's exhortation to follow the better angels of our nature.
No doubt the usual cavalcade of atrabilious right-wing commentators will work overtime to try and distort Obama's remarks. But his address drew its strength from the fact that he, in effect, receded from the memorial service to function in the capacity of offering a tribute to the victims rather than pontificating about them.
Obama referred to the fact that the significance of these events shouldn't simply be consigned to oblivion by the time of the next news cycle. But his ennobling address may well have helped to ensure that they do not suffer that fate.

Tammy Bruce,live tweeting the President’s speech:
ReplyDeleteOnce again Urkel has found his props–a bunch of murdered people.
Everyone involved in this obscene debacle should hang their heads in shame
Amazing. The hypocrisy. “Don’t want to point fingers or assign blame.” Absolutely unbelievable
It was political theatre, the crowd bizarre and ghoulish, w Obama using the event & victims as props.
What part of last 2 yrs did you miss?
This entire event was an abomination, a disgrace. The exploitation of *everyone* was obscene.
Chris Wallace also thinks the speech was great. I guess the Dems were right, Obama did need mass murder to rally his base
How nice, after allowing Palin and Tea Party to be blamed for murder for 5 days.
Obama’s is destroying the country, and now he is to be revered because of the way he delivered a…speech? Right.

Right now FOX executives must be sitting in their conference room deciding whether or not to cut their losses and dump Sarah.
ReplyDeleteOn MSNBC, Rachel Maddow reports about 26,000 showed up to remember the victims of Saturday's shooting and hear President Obama's address to the nation. On CNN, Anderson Cooper tracks President Obama shaking hands with members of the audience. And on Fox, Charles Krauthammer initially complains about the cheers from the crowd at the beginning of the speech, but quickly recognizes that his speech was inspirational -- ultimately calling it a "brilliant" speech.

Jan Brewer claims Gabby Giffords as a friend. Brewer should have come out against the cross-hairs map when Sarah posted it.
ReplyDeleteI guess Brewer was too interested in keeping Sarah's endorsement.
Sarah is currently writing her 3rd book:
ReplyDelete"Boy Did I Fuck Up This Time!"
I wonder if the supposed death threats against the bitter would-be politician refers to the AlaskaWTF graphic.
ReplyDeleteWas it just me or does she sound and appear to be totally stoned so to speak? I really think that I have seen her a lot more animated. Is she comming down from some binge?
ReplyDeleteI don't know, is the woman bi-polar? Manic depressive? A druggie?
But the bottom line is always the same - the f does the bitch think she is? She nothing more then the former governer of Alaska that decided to quit half way through her elected term so she could make more money ...
"If there are rain puddles in heaven, Christina is jumping in them today."
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful touching memorial! Thank God for the quality and measure of the President of United States of America - Barack Obama. He is truely a compasinate caring human being and I agree we all show strive to be nation that that nine year old child thought we should be.
ReplyDeleteand THEN our President spoke............
ReplyDeletearen't we blessed that HE is in charge?
Hey Sarah did you see President Obama's Arizona Memorial speech?
ReplyDeleteNow go to your 3 story house and listen to the song:
"This Is How We Do It" a 1995 song by American R&B singer Montell Jordan
Here is the entire speech and transcript of President Obama's memorial acknowledgement. It just gives me chills and it's impossible not to tear up.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2011/1/12/935916/-President-Obamas-speech-at-Tucson-memorialfull-video
THIS is what Sarah was referring to? OMG!
ReplyDelete...In the end, the half-dead boy would be crowned with thorns and tied or nailed to a wooden cross. The cross would be raised and the blood dripping from the boy’s wounds, particularly those on his hands, feet, and genitals, would be caught in bowls or glasses. Finally, the boy would be killed with a thrust through the heart from a spear, sword, or dagger. His dead body would be removed from the cross and concealed or disposed of, but in some instances rituals of black magic would be performed on it. The earlier stories describe only the torture and agony of the victim and suggest that the child’s death was the sole purpose of the ritual. Over time and as the libel proliferated, the focus shifted to the supposed need to collect the victim’s blood for mystical purposes.
http://malialitman.wordpress.com/2011/01/12/palin-commits-the-ultimate-abomination/
What a POS Palin is !
ReplyDeleteShe wouldn't have any idea about what a blood libel is. She PURPOSELY used that term (when someone else found it for her) to stir things up. To keep the attention on her and probably knowing Giffords is Jewish to be a bitch.
She actually does us a favor by putting this out today in contrast to Obama and trying to make the tragedy about her.
Forever etched in people's minds as a petty bitch......
Couldn't have happened to a dumber bitch! Can I get an agreement that this shall be the last we hear of this idiot? I'm jumping on that shunning bandwagon that came through a couple of days ago.
ReplyDeleteAfter the president's rousing eulogy tonight for the victims and hearing from 20-somethings more articulate than Palin and her entire classless, inbred family, I think it's safe to say she is done -- finally!
Ha Ha ..... just heard her described as a "big melting iceburg" ..... priceless.
ReplyDeleteDavid Frum on Lawrence O'Donnell's show discussing Sarah Palin's recent statement: "She's like a big melting iceberg in warm water and I think a big bunch of ice just slid off the side"
ReplyDeleteSee what happens when Palin's words go out UNFILTERED by the media.
ReplyDeleteWe see the REAL Palin.
Sick and pathetic.
God bless President Obama.
ReplyDeleteWhat did we do to deserve him?
5:59 PM
We worked for his campaign and voted for him. And we'll need to do it again.
Can't wait to hear/see what Palin/RAM have to say about Obama's great speech.
ReplyDeleteWonder why she didn't hire a provate jet with bendable straws using her own dough to attend the memorial.
Perhaps she is too busy recording a reading of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
To Randall @ 5:40, only one speech today, in Tucson. And the usual random dribbling elsewhere on the visual broadcasts.
ReplyDeleteOh Sarah ..... Every penny you have will be turned over to the families of the Arizona 20. You will have nothing. Can't return to Alaska, they've figured you out. National politics, ha ha, you've put a stop to that.
ReplyDeleteYou are done ..... The Steve Schmitt and Nicole Wallace prediction has come true.
Mansour just got owned by David Corn and Lawrence O'Donnell! David Corn was saying that SP has the worst speech writer and political advisors in the world. David Frum tried to be nice but even he called SP "unserious" and "falling not rising to the occasion."
ReplyDeleteThe best part was when RAM got named and ridiculed. I can't wait to see her twitter feed after the show. It'll be an all-cap night!
Still, no accountability...
ReplyDeleteVoila, Instant Martyr!
I'm sick, absolutely sick!
I was on twitter during the memorial. I thought it was absolutely amazing, everything about it. I had tears in my eyes. Then I noticed some retweets of people making the most horrible hate filled comments I have ever seen. Someone wrote that "Sarahs speech was better." Another wrote " Obama only cares about getting elected"
ReplyDeleteThese are some of the tame ones. There were racial slurs against the Native blessing and others. Really sick stuff--- just go look at heyTammyBruce twitter feed and the comments back to her.
I started thinking about my own possible role in this and I've made a pledge to not write certain things about Sarah anymore. No words like bitch or I hate her as examples. I am going to try to keep my tweets and comments free of hostility which won't be easy but I don't want to be like these people. I will still make comments and call out nonsense but I'm committing to re-reading my tweet or comment and toning it down.
One more thing just FYI there is a huge amount of anti-semitism out there. I couldn't believe some of what I saw. I think if you are not Jewish or have personally experienced it, it's hard to understand. I just thought I'd mention it. It scares me and brings up some awful experiences.
I hope all my friends here will also think about the power and impact of their words. Thanks.
I have to say that speech was incredible. As a Jewish woman I am horrified at palin's new line of bullshit. Jesus doesn't she have handlers that would be more areful? Oh wait, maybe they are trying to derail her because they realize she is hateful and dispicable.
ReplyDeleteCheck out this video: Palin's staff working hard to keep scrub her Facebook page.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LG5Rd8k3bio
Media Insider predicts Mansour's firing and, given the recent fuck ups, I have to agree. Let's hope Mansour doesn't go down without a fight. Imagine the stories she has to tell.
ReplyDeleteBegala called it political narcissism in the extreme, saying he'd watched it twice today and read it three times and it didn't get better with each rendition. As Dave Weigel tweeted, "Didn't think it was possible for Palin's speech/video to seem even smaller, but there you go."
ReplyDeleteQuote from Daily Kos. Given enough rope she has hung herself so thoroughly.
Repubs try to downplay Obama, but they can't. This speech will go down in history.
@heytammybruce is an incredibly nasty and hateful person. Is she mentally ill?? I ask that seriously because her tweets are more than strange, they are sick. Truly truly sick. The crowd was ghoulish? The whole thing was a disgrace?? The woman is either very mentally ill or an extremely unhappy full of rage person.
ReplyDeleteKellygirl--thank you for posting those. That woman needs serious psychiatric help..I feel sorry for any person that is so unhappy or messed up that they see a memorial that way.
This is what happens when someone tries to act smart, tries to write a piece that is as the phrase goes, is above their paygrade.
ReplyDeleteSomewhere, sometime, either Palin or whoever wrote this heard this phrase and it might not have even been used in the correct context. But darn it didn't it sound good and it stuck in the back of their head. At THE worst time it popped back up and a career is thus ended.
I've seen this numerous times (but never to this magnitude of stupidity) where people use big fancy words or phrases when they don't need to and it always tends to be an incorrect one. They look at it and think it makes them look smart but anyone else that reads it is left scratching their head wondering how the person could have made such a gaffe.
If Palin was the least bit a human being I would feel sorry for her right about now. Sadly given her history I just can't feel anything for her other than contempt for trying to make herself to be the victim in this horrid event.
Someone said that Sarah is acting as a president in exile (sorry I can't remember who, and I'm too tired to go back and look). I totally agree! She really does think she is the president of a country (with real patriots) within a country (phony patriots). This is scary stuff.
ReplyDeleteOn another note, my mother was a borderline personality -- a very freaky person. When she was angry and spouting self-righteous crap, she held her jaw in the same tight way that Sarah is. This woman is telling us all how it is and showing us at the same time that we are all worthless. She is the only person of worth on this planet and anyone else has value if, and only if, they are of use to her. She can never be cured. She will never give up. I wish it were not so.
President Obama's speech was out standing tonight and Palin is not even qualified to shine his shoes! Her trying to come out in front of him today with her disaster speech was a big, big flop and I'm more assured that she is going to fade into the dust of Wasilla. It cannot happen fast enough. The Republican party is going to do even more distancing of themselves from her.
ReplyDeleteSarah, to quote these famous lyrics of Steely Dan:
ReplyDeleteIT'S OVER NOW.
DRINK YOUR BIG BLACK COW
AND GET OUT OF HERE.
Tammy Bruce's disrespect for the memorial service for the massacre victims is right up there with Mansour and Palins "blood libel" timing and execution. She must be getting a concealed salary or bonus from Sarah Pac the way she has to bash our President. She couldn't manage to take a break and show some respect for the deceased.
ReplyDeleteReagan had the longest services of all, something like 5 or more days and we respected him the whole time. I felt compassion for Nancy when I saw she had those moments with Michael Reagan, that could not have been easy for her. I could not help but feel for her as she was by her husband's side for the last time on earth. She was one devoted mate regardless of how that effected her mothering and there is no doubt they loved one another. So what he was divorced and all that went before.
The Republicans and right wing that align with Palin, Mansour and Bruce have zero humanity. When they are not trying to martyr Palin they have to relentlessly bash. They have no respect and won't deal with the death of the child that was Piper's age and attending a political event. It breaks my heart what they are teaching her. Piper's book in another 10-15 years will be interesting.
Perfectly stated Randall. :-)

Bye-bye, Sarah.
ReplyDeleteIf you had any fucking balls, you'd have asked FOX News for airtime to ply the world with your brand of self-pity instead of putting out some third-rate video on a goddamned Facebook page like the impotent twat you are.
Good riddance.
Colbert's The Word segment tonight was brilliant (as usual). If you didn't catch it then I highly recommend heading over to the website.
ReplyDeleteSo now we get to watch for the spin on her spin which was about her original screw-ups. Life with Palin is like being on a Tilt-a-Whirl except it's not any fun, it just makes me nauseous.
ReplyDeleteWill she ever reach a point where she says "I can't do this. I'm quitting." I'd settle for a "the meanies out there won't let me do it because they're jealous since I'm so pretty so I'm quitting".
I didn't think she could put herself in a worse position than she already was but she surprised me again. Oh, and she says says "pundants" rather than "pundits".

Did anyone but me notice Palin's barely concealed smiles during that speech? I can't say for sure what's in her heart but can say she doesn't appear to feel a shred of remorse, sympathy or sadness about the 6 people who died or the 13 who were injured - not to mention sympathy for Rep.Giffords.
ReplyDeleteYou know, as many times as Palin has thrown her kids out to garner sympathy for herself over imagined insults, grasping the smallest thing so that she can promote herself as a "grizzly mama" and here a small child has died! And this is the best that she can do. Doesn't even say Christina Greene's name. Or any of the other victims besides Rep. Giffords.

Oh, great! Now Sarah leads the conversation to Jews murdering Christian children to use their blood for the baking of matzos for Passover.
ReplyDeleteYou never know where she'll lead us next. What weird crap will we be discussing tomorrow because of Quitter?
This is a "must see" video.
ReplyDeleteI never realized that David Brock is this eloquent.
A Message To Sarah Palin from Media Matters CEO David Brock http://t.co/K
On May 6, 1995, after the bombing, President Clinton said, "There is nothing patriotic about hating your government or pretending you can hate your government but love your country."
This fall I was especially concerned with three assassination attempts directly linked to your ally and fellow Fox News contributor Glenn Beck.
(he goes on to use documentation to back up these claims)
In your video, you predictably blame the media for libeling you. My view is you and your right-wing conspirators have gotten off easy. Most in the press dismiss the import of your words as careless constructions or run-of-the mill political phrases, presuming you do not understand or mean what you say and do.
But I know what you do. We are just off a campaign cycle in which you and the Republican candidates you supported raised the prospect of armed revolt if Washington did not change its ways. Much of your message centered -- like the Tea Party moniker itself -- on imagery of armed revolution and existential clashes in which the freedom of our country is at stake. This is a lie.
You and Beck and Limbaugh pander to the margin of the margins, employing whatever words win you contributions or ratings, the consequences be damned.
Promoting anti-government extremism is your business. Without it you are nothing. And you know it.
I just realized last night that she's becoming more like Osama Bin Laden with her canned videos and hate mongering speeches. New book title: Sarah Palin, An American Terrorist.
ReplyDeleteI tip my hat to omomma
ReplyDeleteHoly crap - those Tammy Bruce tweets are AWFUL! Did she think Sarah's speech was wonderful? We really live in alternate universes.
ReplyDelete24 hours since 'blood libel' - no words Sarah? Do you need a few more days to come up with an excuse?

What is with the photoshopped furled flag in the background of the video. Just weird.
ReplyDeleteOk, so this gory phrase is going to be the takeaway from her speech, I guess. But what I got from her speech was a desperate attempt to defend the rightwing's violent imagery and rhetoric. What is interesting about this is it wasn't her first reaction. Her first reaction was to send RAM out to try and fool people into thinking that the rifle crosshairs were actually surveyor symbols.
ReplyDeleteInitial reaction: guilt.
Second reaction: on the defense.
The right knows they are wrong. And they are afraid of the general populace waking up to that fact.
This is a weak moment for them, and we need to capitalize on it, because if they continue to get away with what they get away, expect to see more of this rhetoric actually carried out in violence.
By capitalizing on it, I mean we need to have the media start really covering death threats, road rage incidents, all of which IS provoked by violent rightwing rhetoric.

ReplyDeleteWooooooooooooow. I never thought about it that way, but you are dead on. Oh man, that needs to be our response every time some palinbot crows about how she circumvents the MSM. "Yep, just like Osama bin Laden with his carefully timed videos and statements."
Did anybody else notice that McCain turned his back on Pres. Obama when Pres. Obama was working his way down the line of platform guests to shake their hands? Way to stay classy, dude. Although I suppose we should be glad he hasn't sputtered his way through an interview since Saturday.
ReplyDeleteSarah looks like she is so tightly wound she might explode into a million pieces.

Did you notice McCain looked like a grumpy old man? Still sore because he lost. I did notice Cindy McCain would smile and looked in POTUS direction. I was trying to see if John clapped, it did not look like it, but tv camera did not have good view.
Congressman Clyburn did not sit with POTUS, but he made his way to the front row to see POTUS, but not McCain. I hope John does not give Cindy a black eye for looking in POTUS direction.
Some say McCain did not clap for Obama because he was tweeting Snookie.

Same as Osama, Sarah goes into hiding to make her videos. We don't if she is still breathing unless she releases a video or goes on "FOX Protect Me".
