Sarah Palin finally admits that she was wrong. Well sort of anyway.


While speaking in front of the Safari Club last night Palin did a little editing to her most famous slogan.

“Don’t retreat, stand tall,” Palin told the crowd as she emphasized the importance of “responsible conservation.”

“Don’t retreat, stand tall?”  What does that even mean?

You would assume that Palin's patented "don't retreat, reload" would have been a phrase more accepted by a bunch of gun toting wealthy hunting enthusiasts than in just about any other place in America, and yet the Grizzled Mama chose to censor herself. Why?

Could it be that she has finally seen how irresponsible and potentially dangerous her ridiculous rhetoric might be to innocent Americans?  Highly doubtful.

Could she have chosen to modify her patented phrase as a show of respect for the still recovering Gabby Giffords?  Nope, not buying it.

Or could it be that her handlers have finally managed to get a message through that cotton candy brain of hers that if she does not stop acting like a hate spewing, inhuman lunatic that her reputation will remain so badly damaged that, instead of actually having the opportunity to run for President, she may soon have to flee the country in disgrace?  Ding, ding, ding. Folks I think we have a winner!

Let's face it, Sarah Palin NEVER admits to a mistake. And changing perhaps her most famous rallying cry, is essentially doing exactly that.  The only reason that she would ever do such  thing is that somebody explained in very simple, easy to understand words, that she simply had no choice.

At least that is my opinion.  What do you think?

BTW I wonder how Burton Cummings feels about this change in Palin's slogan?

    Hey maybe you can get Sarah and Bristol thrown in jail for changing the motto.

    Liberals will have fun with the motto until they realize she has taken the "gun" out of their hands by changing the motto.

    I would very much like to know who it is that has the clout to sit SP down, and insist that she do or say something.

    She really has no sense of decency; I wonder if her handlers ever consider that they are enabling a someone with the morals of a very spoiled five year old to have a voice in our political process.

    An Evening with Sarah Palin: The Outdoors Enthusiast, Not the Politician

    The only disappointing thing about my trip to Reno was the fact that, due to the recent shootings in Tucson, security was extremely tight. Gov. Palin’s scheduled exclusive meeting with the Weatherby Foundation board, which I might have had the opportunity to join, was canceled at the last minute.

    Sarah Palin and the Homer Simpson Economy

    As it turns out, the donut-eating Homer Simpson is not just the embodiment of Sarah Palin's "Spudnut economy." He could be the poster boy for Palin's campaign against the socialist, anti-obesity agenda of First Lady Michelle Obama. ("Where are the s'mores ingredients? This is in honor of Michelle Obama, who said the other day we should not have dessert.") In the 2007 Simpsons Movie, Homer and the family flee Springfield for the friendlier confines of Alaska:

    TOLL BOOTH MAN: Welcome to Alaska. Here's a thousand dollars.
    HOMER SIMPSON: Well, it's about time! But why?

    TOLL BOOTH MAN: We pay every resident a thousand dollars to allow the oil companies to ravage our state's natural beauty.

    HOMER SIMPSON: [hugs toll booth man] I'm home!

    On so many levels, Sarah Palin's "Spudnut moment" for the American economy is shared by Homer Simpson. As he once put it, "Donuts, is there anything they can't do?"

    Well, she went from that idiotic "Drill Baby Drill" to "Drill Here, Drill Now" after the oil spill.

    Remember how she just had to 'correct' Joe O'Biden with her retarded mantra in the one and only kindergarten version of a VP Debate where Sarah only answered the questions or created responses only to what she felt the American public wanted to hear?

    For all those journalists and pundits that said she carried her own in that performance, I want to make them sit and re-watch it for a whole day in the face of Sarah's great reveal (as a divisive know-nothing loser) and share with us just how she carried water in that "debate" instead of inspired National Review editor Rich Lowry to write that he sat up after Sarah's first wink - that the potential VPILF "sent little starbursts through the screen and ricocheting around the living rooms of America."

    Sarah Palin is only here and visible only because of her looks and that she pretends to carry a 'conservative' message. Lord knows they need more attractive conservative personalities, but for them to put this violent talking yet pusillanimous bitch on a platform does their sector of the American public no service.

    It's a curious choice. Did she thing not saying something like it would look worse? She's wrong. She's once again drawn attention to herself and once again reopened the whole Tuscon can of worms.

    Of course, getting talked about is Palin's chief objective. Perhaps she thinks keeping it "fresh" will allow her to continue to play the victim card.

    Another horrid mistake by Camp Palin. Here's something else your daughter could type:

    I think she'd better stop posing with rifles and giving "love of guns" speeches. Ms. Palin's brand has been badly damaged by her inane phraseology and inability to understand why her feminine "macho" shtick makes her look so unappealing.

    Sarah is trying to redefine her message and remain relevant. She wants to be remembered as someone who made a difference in US history. That won't happen. Future Poli-sci classes will study 2008's election as the beginning of a new era in America with the first black President.

    In a hundred years Sarah Palin will be a small footnote in our country's past. She'll be compared to Joe McCarthy for her divisiveness and delusions of power. If anything she will be a case study of NPD in politics.

    Sarah - it will be awful to be as reviled as he was. Get out of politics while you can. Get a show on QVC shilling AK moose stew and sell your soul for the $$$ you so desire.

    1. You're dead wrong. Sarah will most definitely be a vital part of American history and you're making it happen for her. If it weren't for gossip spreaders, there were be no account of history at all. Most history books are basically biased opinion which is why it's hard to find a decent one to learn from. But it's still entertaining to read the truly sensatioal ones.

    2. Dont retreat stand tall is a pretty good slogan
    it teaches young people not to back down to bullies or to be afraid of challenging themselves.
    Thats Sarah's legacy, inspiring the youth of today who didnt fall for the con artist in the white house. How much did her PAC make last year? exactly

    To the first commenter, jealous of Bristol much? You know, she's not the first teen mother to be spotlighted and in todays world, she certainly wont be the last. the teen mom is immensely popular for its entertainment value. Blaming bristol for anything is like blaming sarah for evil deeds carried out.

    This woman is just so painfully stupid. Her well-paid advisors, also. She would have come out of this tragic episode so much better if she had simply uttered the words, "Well, yes, we all need to tone down our rhetoric, perhaps." Nothing huge, just that would have been enough.

    Instead, she refuses to say anything that smacks of taking any responsibility at all, and then she insists on recycling the very rhetoric in question. Who does that? Changing it is tantamount to admitting it was wrong, as Gryphen says. She should have retired the expression altogether.

    She is the gift that keeps on giving. She is done, politically. They will be writing about this one in the MSM all this week, in addition to Egypt.

    You are completely wrong. There is something to be said for the statement that "history is written by the victors." However, even the most paranoid of regimes cannot capture all dissenting views. Personal letters, diaries, etc., these are also tools for historians to use. One of the reasons Samuel Pepys diary was such an immense discovery was because he never intended for it to be read, therefore is was written without fear.

    Sarah's stupidity and lies stand on their own. She's a proven LIAR. She has no judgment. She's immature in the extreme.

    The formation of history is an amalgamation of sources, both official and un noffical.
    To try to justify her lies/obtuseness by saying "history is opinion" is grasping at straws.

    "Don't retreat, stand tall" is really a mixed metaphor. One "stands tall" because of pride in ones accomplishments. It has nothing to do with adverisity.
    "Stand firm" would have been a better choice since it connotes "pushing back" against an attack.

    I realize the nuances of the English language are lost of Sarah Palin, and perhaps you as well.

I guess after a successful chat, they stand tall and pour themselves a bourbon or two and pat themselves on the back.

    Change her story? I think we are seeing her try to evolve. Motivation?
    Certainly not a change toward being human.
    1. The NH Straw Vote - 7% and falling
    2. Lawyers may have told her that continuing the guns and ammo lingo after Tucson might, just might set her up for a real lawsuit - can't always get lucky twice - next time it might be someone with Palin porn pasted all over their bedroom
    3. Michele Bachman on the move to take over her role as TP leader and front runner
    4. MONEY - I'm guessing with her second book a flop, a canceled reality show, an increase in legal fees, never ending payouts to family and other grifters her cash flow might be getting tight.

    I'll go for a mix of 1-3 with number 4 being the final absolute motivator.
    Note - I included nothing about NE story because I think that this was not shocking news to her except that it finally came out. I'm guessing she knew in 2008 when she tossed her ring in the lake and maybe even faked a baby.

    Hunting and fishing part of American Exceptionalism????????

    I live in MN. Hunting AND Fishing are both on the decline here. This is especially true for duck hunting and ever deer. As the older hunters retire (or get shot in the field) they are not being replaced. Younger people don't want to bother buying the gear (except the gun) and then having to do the work to go out in the environment and maybe get cold, or wet - eeeew. So if Sara thinks Hunting and Fishing are examples of American Exceptionalism then Sara, we are in some serious trouble as a country

    Some facts about safari club (via wikipedia):

    "Safari Club Internaltional has been criticised by the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) for supporting the hunting of endangered African antelope species at fenced "game" ranches in Texas and Florida and for giving awards for the hunting of big cats and leopard, elephant, lion, rhino and buffalo in Africa."

    "In 1979, when SCI was fairly new, it sought government approval to import 1,125 trophies from 40 different species (gorillas, cheetahs, tigers, orangutans, snow leopards, and others) into the US for "scientific research and incentive for propagation and survival of the species." Because the animals were to be hunted, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service denied the request."

    "In 2005, controversy erupted over tax write-offs taken by big game hunters for donations of trophies to museums. IRS rules allowed only the fair market value of such donations to be deducted, but many donors filed returns claiming deductions at "replacement cost," calculated to include airfare, guide fees, taxidermy, shipping, permits, and all other costs associated with the original hunt.[26] In most cases, the donations were worth only a fraction of the claimed value, and often accumulated in museum storage facilities."

    "In 1994, SCI successfully lobbied for a change in the U.S. Marine Mammal Protection Act 1972 to allow for the importation of previously banned sport-hunted polar bear trophies into the United States from Canada.[16] In 2007, SCI testified at a U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service hearing opposing the proposed listing of polar bears as a "threatened" species under the U.S. Endangered Species Act."

    These are not your typical everyday hunters who actually do support practical conservation and use of kill for practical purposes such as food source and population control. These are rich people who just like killing exotic animals.

    "why does the short story the lottery come to mind?"

    Good question, considering how different the situation of Tessie Hutchinson was from that of Sarah Palin.

    Mrs. Hutchinson was selected by what to all appearances was a truly random lottery, and had no opportunity to opt out once selected.

    One might argue that Mrs. Palin's selection by John McCain approached randomness, but once the November 2008 election was over, she had the opportunity to opt out, to go back to the job she had sworn to carry out.

    Her situation is not at all like Tessie's. It was self-selected.

    I've mentioned on this forum, that Palin's cult-like followers would sit there silent, even if Sarah were to dismember a live, screaming baby on a stage in front of them.

    In a similar way, it really pisses me off that the NRA members, will defend ALL manner of gun use, as if admitting that "hunters" do NOT need a military style, repeating weapon, with a clip holding dozens of rounds, to do any actual "hunting," would weaken their case.

    If the purpose of gun ownership is to wipe out entire species of animals, then this would make sense...but they ALSO claim to be "conservative" about not overhunting, and so forth.

    It makes them lose all credibility with anyone with a working mind.

    PLEASE let someone from their ranks, rise up and call for some decency.

    I hoped it'd be Charlton Heston, but he was too old by the time he got involved, and showed signs of mental deterioration--and fell right in with the push to allow everyone to own every type of weapon made...MAYBE short of nuclear devices, but who knows?

    Plus, she is a racist - proved it right here in Alaska as well as on the campaign trail w/McCain. The woman will go down in history in a very negative way.

    She, in no way, can begin to compete w/President Obama or VP Joe Biden for that matter.

    I've never seen any of those violent images you describe- can you provide some documentation? I HAVE seen a lot directed at our president though.

    RAM tweeted that she did say "Don't retreat, Reload" in the Reno speech. If true that she hasn't backed down from it, she is acting in her true to form defiance. Or perhaps Palin changed Becky's speech on the fly and didn't tell her yet?

    Extremely fascinating and insightful essay on canarypapers:

    Sarah, Jared and the T-Word

    Palin may change a few words here and there because of legal reasons but never her attitude, or her message.

    Wrong! She watched her Alaska program and saw the lady who didn't know how to reload her rifle. After Sarah finished making fun of the woman, Todd said "That's you. Don't you remember? Your dad had to reload your rifle for you."
    All kidding aside, she eventually will get criticized by the media for using the "reload" message and not knowing how to reload.

    While watching Palin's antics, we need to be looking beyond her "shiny object" appearances to the real malevolent forces pulling her strings. I am seeing this warning message in several places & find a lot of truth in it.
    "Don't retreat, stand tall." This choice of verbiage is interesting. Palin has had dog whistle code words in most of her speeches. I 1st tried old West slang. Nothing there. Then checked military jargon. " ''stand tall'' : (US) Used as a verb for ''to be proud,'' or ''to present a military appearance.'' Also can refer to having to answer to higher authority facing consequences: "Standing tall before the man." What do you think?

    Am not sure if comment was accepted by Blogger, wanted to put in my 2 cents.
    Found the definition of "stand tall" on a web page of military slang. Which definition do you think Palin is using as dog whistle to her Flying Monkeys?

    Here are my suggestions for alternate slogans that the screechy wretch could use in place of "Dont Retreat, Reload":

    "Don't think, Just shoot someone"
    "Don't be rational, do something violent"
    "Don't stumble, Tie you shoes"
    "Don't surrender, Deposit $1"
    "Don't retreat, Gibble dee beeder boo"

    The rest of my suggestions don't make enough sense to appeal to the Gristly One's smarter followers so I'll stop here.

  75. Sorry, anonymous at 1:08 pm. I don't have a twitter account. Never felt the urge to tweet.

    Tweet it with my blessing.
