Well one of Sarah Palin's most ardent supporters, Tammy Bruce, who many of you may remember has the radio show that RAM appeared on to make her "They're not sniper sites, they are surveyor symbols" argument, live tweeted the President's speech yesterday.
I have sometimes been accused, mostly by Palin-bots; of twisting people's words or taking them out of context. So here is Ms. Bruce unfiltered, with nothing added or altered in any way. And you can check the accuracy of the tweets by visiting here. I suggest that you take a strong antacid before doing so however.

There is more, but I simply do not have he stomach to read or post them.
If you are a frequent visitor to this blog, or to websites like Huffington Post or various news sites, you have probably seen more than your fair share of the type of hateful language constantly thrown around by the loving Christian supporters of Sarah Palin.
Now I am not saying that all liberals are perfect angels on the web but there seems to be a very hate-filled and disgusting personality type that find themselves drawn to the Grizzled Mama.
For those of you are wondering just what type of horrible woman could have tweeted just ugliness, you will find a rather fitting picture of her below.
Somehow I doubt that the vast majority of you will agree with much that Ms. Bruce had to say.
Oh... wow. Oh God. Jesus. Why would someone say that stuff? Say that NOW?
ReplyDeleteIt's impossible to understand what goes on in the mind of someone like that. Let's forget her and keep thinking about what the President said.
ReplyDeletethat's just heartbreaking, what kind of person says those things at a moment like this?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info. It is quite comial. Ms. Bruce is as we would say in the hood, "hatin'." She has to hate on the President because she wants to stay current. If she was that disgusted of Obama then why bother to watch it much less why tweet about it. If anything, she is the phony one.
ReplyDeleteWow. That is vile and outrageous. I can't believe anyone in the public sphere would want to be associated with that. Sarah Palin and Rebecca Mansour should be ashamed.
ReplyDeleteRight, no racism here. Just disgusting.
ReplyDeleteA sad, sick woman. And does she somehow believe that the "Urkel" designation is NOT racist?
ReplyDeleteShe is a hopeless palin panty sniffer like ManSour.
ReplyDeleteThey revel in their ugliness like pigs in shit.
I heard the Secret Service was monitoring twitter last night. I did mention it along with @HeyTammyBruce...!
STFU Bitches!
I agree. There are no words in response to this sort of vile distortion.
ReplyDeleteOne thing I realized, I do think this terrible tragedy will prevent people from using the violent rhetoric again. They may not admit to the shift, but can you imagine any politicos using those kinds of images or words again? They know the media would be all over it. They can't get away with it. Perhaps these poor innocents will not have died in vain.
The tragedy won't stop people from spewing the kind of poison in TB's tweets, of course. They will find ways to get their message out there but they won't be able to be so explicit, disclaimers or not.
Tammy Bruce is a disgusting, vile, self hating lesbian who only knows how to attack like a pit bull who was raised by vicious humans(through no fault of it's own) to fight from birth. We have learned that pit bulls can be rehabilitated, unfortunately, Ms Bruce, and her master/ owner Sarah Palin have promenade time and time again that they cannot.
ReplyDeleteSarah Palin, Tammy Bruce, Becky Mansour, and the rest of the attack dogs cannot be "mainstreamed" into civilized society. From this point forward they are relegated to the lunatic fringe.
Yep - is she just the latest Ann Coulter? I hadn't heard of her before - I try to live in hate-freeville though...
ReplyDeleteShe obviously failed English. Don't care if she can spell. Words have meaning. As one of my writing profs said - one best meaning for each word. Don't misuse them.
ReplyDeleteAs for for Bruce - the words are a reflection of how she thinks. All ugliness and no compassion.
This thing of calling our President Urkel....it proves what many of us have suspected all along:
ReplyDeleteThey are filled with rage that we have a black, brilliant man in the White House.
That line about the young aide who helped Giffords, also - do we need any more evidence of where these people are coming from?
They are RACISTS. They are the new white supremacy movement. They are no better than the good ol boys who set dogs on African Americans in the 60's, or lynched people falsely accused of crimes.
They will try to make us think otherwise. It's just different wrapping, but the same package underneath.
It's chilling.
Never heard of Ms. Bruce before-she looks hideous.
ReplyDeleteReally enjoyed the blessing by the "native"!
63Wow, a truly unhappy person...and the picture? Two phallic symbols. Something tells me that little Tammy is not very happy with her chromosome count.
ReplyDeleteUrkel? She calls the POTUS Urkel?
ReplyDeleteThere is no hope for that woman now--she is beyond help or hope.
I have heard some angry words from the left because people are mad and tired of nothing being done but the fans and friends of Sarah Palin are disgusting. The fact that they call themselves Christians disgust me the most! I have twittered, FB and google buzzed this post. This kind of "truth" needs to get out there!
ReplyDeleteI watched Morning Joe this morning (I do not think I dozed off)not ONE mention of Palin.
ReplyDeleteAfter Morning Joe the next news segment had a man on (I believe he did the Time article on Palin). He stated that Palin timed the release of her video on the morning of the memorial and that M? (Palin's sidekick that went on the air regarding the crosshair symbol) wrote Palin's speech.
To say the least this woman is as horrible as the one in this article. Trash finds trash.
Let her keep talking, and make sure the whole country knows she is firmly attached to her Dear Leader.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine there will be too many voters out there who find this appealing.
- kellygrrrl
She is hideous
ReplyDeleteWhat's going on? This isn't political?? I am literally dumb-founded (and on the verge of tears).
ReplyDeleteThe right is furious the Dems have scored some serious political capital with the contrast in the way they have handled themselves in this incident vs the way the Right - politicians and mouthpieces - have handled it. The Right isn't getting anything right this time and they know it and don't know what to do. Anyone who would pose with a handgun next their head with their finger inside the trigger guard is a fool who should not be allowed to own one.
ReplyDeleteTammy Bruce has been at the ugly for a long, long time.
ReplyDelete"Bill O'Reilly, Tammy Bruce, test case?"
"O'Reilly falafels Bruce into a snarly net of "ideological witch-hunt by evil forces" commentary."
Is this woman in Alaska? Please, please do not send these comments to the lower 48. If you do, she will be hired by FOX.
ReplyDeleteThere were more comments about C4P on Twitter today about Ian Lazaran and his outright lies about Obama's speech bombs, liberals pissed about the speech and he linked to a WSJ article. I went to the site and someone actually attempted to say that President Obama said that Gabby Giffords opened her eyes when he stepped in the room. They knew this was a lie but there it was. Someone tried to debate them but they vote down anyone who says something they don't like so they don't have to see it. None of the comments voted down were nasty IMO. Instead they were really on target.
ReplyDeleteThey Love Tammy Bruce so they probably read the lies and post without verifying. WTF is it with Urkel? We were told when Bush was in office it was teasonous to say anything negative during a time of war. How times change when the Democratic party is in charge.
KARMA. Wait for it. It's coming.
ReplyDeleteI see Bruce's asshole was working last night as that's from where she speaks.
ReplyDeleteA long time ago, Tammy Bruce led a crusade to censor Bret Easton Ellis's book, American Psycho.
ReplyDeleteBruce's present rhetoric about real people and real events is more vile and hateful and downright shamefully disgusting than anything Ellis ever wrote in the metaphoric, fictional world of Patrick Bateman.
jk
"Tammy Bruce is a disgusting, vile, self hating lesbian" You got that one right~she is a self a hating lesbian who sold her soul for the almighty dollar. She is the "token" lesbian. She can say and make all the Homophobic slurs that Heterosexual wing-nuts can't say.
ReplyDeleteI haven't had a chance to watch the memorial yet, but I'm disgusted at the way she refers to the Obamas. Liberals said some pretty nasty (but deserved) things about Bush, but Laura was left out of it.
ReplyDeleteSarah has always had the lowest scum as her buddies and/or supporters. Eddie Burk, WAR, Michael Regan, Mark Levin, Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Hannity, Star Parker, Tammy Bruce, and more, but what other kind of people could support the worst person ever to be elected to office. It would be bad enough if she were only stupid, but she is everything else that could be wrong with a person. These people have to prop each other up because who else would, no decent people anyway. Todd must be as nasty as she is to put up with her. It's so sad that these people have a platform, because it means there are people in our country that are like them and vote these kind into office.
ReplyDeleteYou don't have to say which party did something when it's vile, it's automatically known. They know it too it's why they go on the defense right away.
On top of being hateful and bigotted, Tammy Bruce has really poor descriptive ability. She's covering for lack of intelligence.
ReplyDeleteTammy Bruce clearly never, ever allows herself to be confronted. She's created a bubble to wallow in her ineptitude. A 5th grade class on critical thinking would rip her to shreds.
The stance with the gun makes her look, well, retarded.

Tammy Bruce doesn't like black men period, I've heard her anti-black man rhetoric since the OJ trial (1995).
ReplyDeleteIsn't it something? Just when we're supposed to enter a new phase of civility, I feel so livid at this "Shammy" Bruce (a fraud if ever there was one) I just want to slap her silly. Despicable, nothing of a person...just like the company she keeps.
ReplyDelete“It was supposed to be simply a chance to make a good speech, but it may be more than that,” said GOP pollster Steve Lombardo after the address. “It may be a time when we look back and say that he re-made himself tonight into the President we thought he could be.”
ReplyDeleteKrauthammer, one of the president’s sharpest critics, suggested the speech saw Obama find his role as head of state.
“I wouldn’t underestimate how this is going to affect the perception of president,” Krauthammer said on Fox News after the memorial service, comparing what Obama did in Tucson to President Clinton’s speech following the Oklahoma City bombing and President Reagan’s address in the wake of the Challenger explosion.
What few Republicans wanted to say for attribution – but what was manifestly clear – was that Palin had made Obama look even bigger than he was.
Her argument for conflict-oriented politics lent itself as the near-ideal foil for his plea for civility. It was a clear contrast and, for Republicans, a dispiriting one.
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0111/47543.html
To tweet those comments, at such a time is unimaginable. Yet, here we are with these kind of people trying to hijack any reasonable discourse we could have in our country.
ReplyDeleteI am trying to figure out what TOTUS means? It can't be good. Something of the United States, obviously...
ReplyDeleteLet's find out, and then let's call this woman out and firmly attach her to her BFF Sarah Palin.
If the Left were engaging in this kind of talk, the GOP would be all over it.
It's revenge of the fringe here, and the establishment knows it. They won't even comment on SP. Serves them right, and then some.
Thanks John McCain and Bill Kristol and Dick Morris for foisting this nightmare onto the American people. Shame on you all.
OOPS, sorry 4 the typo, should have wrote "proven" instead of promenade ... Damn iPhone predictive function!
ReplyDeleteUnbelievable. The problem with this type of sociopath/psychopath (don't know enough about her, and don't want to, to choose an accurate label) is that they generally don't commit acts that land them in prison or a hospital. But because of her verbal violence, it's a real shame she knows how to use technology well enough to spread her vile and insane thoughts so far and wide. That said, I'm with Aunt Snow.
ReplyDeleteI thought that others might be interested in some of the reactions to President Obama's speech tonight.
ReplyDeleteAde Santana, an 11-year-old Tucson resident, said she felt that she had to come to ease the sadness and grief she's felt since Saturday's shooting.
"In the sorrow, sadness . . . even anger I've been feeling, this is where I needed to be," Santana said. "This (shooting) has put Tucson in a very negative light, and this is what we needed to heal ourselves and our community."
http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2011/1/13/935867/-Compilation-of-Reactions-to-Pres.-Obamas-Speech
The Urkel reference should be clarified for those who don't know:
ReplyDeleteSteve Urkel, character on Family Matters, a sweet show from the 80's or 90's about a middle class African American family in Chicago. Steve was a glasses-wearing nerd, basically.
Right: smart person of color, apparently the greatest affront possible, to these rednecks.
Tammy Bruce, proof that "inside ugliness" exists.
ReplyDelete"And in Christina we see all of our children. So curious, so trusting, so energetic and full of magic.
ReplyDeleteSo deserving of our love.
And so deserving of our good example. If this tragedy prompts reflection and debate, as it should, let's make sure it's worthy of those we have lost.
The loss of these wonderful people should make every one of us strive to be better in our private lives - to be better friends and neighbors, co-workers and parents."

Tammy Bruce is obviously a very bitter, angry and unhappy woman. Must be awful to go through life that way.
ReplyDeleteThank you Gryphen for bringing us the story, even though it is so disgusting.
ReplyDeleteThis just shows that what everyone is saying about Palin being toxic to America is reaffirmed again and again.
Tammy Bruce and Rebecca Mansour are the face of Palin and so what does this tell you people?
These 3 women are the face and voice of hate and ignorance in America. How anyone could approve of this is just mind boggling.
These women are paid hacks to generate hate in a country that has just had a horrible tragedy and they are simply trying to stir up the pot even more and get someone else killed.
This just shows the absolute facts about those who promote Palin.
As someone this morning said "Has Palin no decency"?
Tammy and Rebecca in their race to save their Queen have just put their own bullseye on Palin. There is no "saving the queen" and their own hate and ignorance has just brought down the woman they tried to put on a pedestal and crown her.
THE QUEEN IS DEAD.
Sarah is called out...bigtime!
ReplyDeleteSarah Palin knows angry speech isn't a call to violence, unless it's angry speech directed at Sarah Palin, in which, it is a call to violence. (Her Logic Went Rogue)
And, I want to congratulate, briefly, Governor Palin, for doing her part to not tone down the rhetoric, by using the historical term "blood libel", which traditionally refers to the accusation that Jews use Christian baby blood in their rituals. For the record, Jews don't use the blood of Christian babies. Obamacare does.
The point is, however you feel about Palin's map, there is zero evidence that this mentally ill shooter was influenced by it or any other heated political rhetoric, left or right. So if there's no evidence that incendiary rhetoric has any connection to this unspeakable horror, it logically follows that it must be good. (For Ratings)
http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2011/1/13/935997/-Stephen-Colbert-calls-out-Sarah-Palin-for-violent-political-rhetoric
Yes isn't it unbelievable that she wrote such nasty and heartless words like that during a memorial? There is something emotionally wrong with any person who views the situation the way she does. She represents everything that the left is talking about. NO ONE called Palin a murderer, that is what they don't seem to understand. And what's with the hatred towards liberals? she's an openly gay woman who aligns herself with people who think she is an immoral freak who will go to hell ?
ReplyDeleteThe hate oozing out of Tammy Bruce is appalling. Frankly we should all feel sorry for her. A happy emotionally stable person would never preach hate during a memorial. There is something wrong with her.
I read the first three and I'm not wasting my time reading any more. I believe in being aware of what you put forth into the universe. I admit, I have my isolated moments of road rage, but I have never in my life nor will I put forth such anger and hatred into the atmosphere. What has happened to this woman to fill her with such rage? I almost feel sorry for her. Anyone who can spew such venom is not a happy person. And that includes Rush, Paylin, etc. Being hateful and hate-filled is not a recipe for a happy life.
ReplyDeleteI believe Tammy is located in Los Angels with RAM. She supposedly use to be a democrat and changed because of President Clinton's affair with Monica.
ReplyDeleteShe is gay, pro-choice, pro-guns, pro death penalty, tea party conservative. A supporter of Sarah Palin. So some of her views are NOT what Sarah stands for.
Hey Tammy is it ok for Sarah and her husband to have affairs and sex with prostitutes? What do you think about that tammy? Ok Tammy you don't have the same beliefs as our President debate without Hate.
Your bed buddy Sarah Palin does not know how to debate, because she is and idiot and skewd of intellectual knowledge. The only thing your bed buddy Sarah knows is fear, violence, bullying & lying.
I voted yes on 8 in California, but you want to make me vote NO next time it comes around and go out and tell everyone else to. I have always been for the rights of Gays, but maybe you just changed my mind!
When Tammy Bruce was a liberal head of a local NOW chapter, she'd show up at conservative protests and her soundbite would be that they were getting ready to "break their legs." She's consistently vile and ugly and knows how to be quoted due to violent outrageousness. It's sad to see what some will do to make a career for themselves.
ReplyDeleteSarah's body betrays her:
ReplyDeleteSarah Palin's Body Language in Blood Libel Video
Yesterday my wife and I were were discussing Sarah Palin's video trying to refudiate all the attacks on her in the wake of the shootings in Arizona.
My wife took one look at the video and exclaimed that I should look at Palin's body language. She said it indicated dishonesty, and that her body language frequently was at odds with what she was saying.
As a result, I did a little googling this morning, and found that my wife was not alone in her observations. I found comment after comment, both in posts on sites and comments responding, expressing the same thoughts.
Some examples below.
http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2011/1/13/936007/-Sarah-Palins-Body-Language-in-Blood-Libel-Video
What a disgusting beotch, just like her girlfriend $arah. All Palin needs to excite her base is lots of Viagra.
ReplyDeleteIt seems to me that we'd forgotten who Obama truly was. we'd forgotten the depth of empathy, compassion and stirring Hope that he could bring to the table. if anyone was born to fulfill a task, to help heal a grieving and frustrated, Nation - bitterly back-bating against itself - pick it up, dust it off and send it back in the right direction - Barack Hussein Obama was that man.
ReplyDeleteHow could we doubt it? Why did we forget?
http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2011/1/13/935993/-This-is-Why-Obama-is-President
Tammy Bruce, Rebecca Mansour and Sarah Palin are truly un-American and do not love their country, it appears.
ReplyDeleteI believe it is time to notify the FBI, and Homeland Security and have these women's name put on their "watch" list as domestic terrorist.
Does anyone know what station her show is on? We could all send this to the station. They probably won't do anything but if she made any comments like this on the air we could report it to the FCC.
ReplyDeleteShe's a racist but her comments aren't bad enough for the FBI to do anything. But we should write her employers and tell them how she is representing herself to the public. She's a seriously disturbed person yes, but she's probably trying to get attention like Ann Coulter does.
Gryphen,
ReplyDeleteCan you please intersperse some nicer stuff in your articles. I know you want to keep on Palin, but were all pretty sick of her. Tell about other nice things in Alaska.
We need a mid winter mental health break.
WASILLA (The Borowitz Report) -- Criticized for using the phrase "blood libel" in an official statement today, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin held a press conference in her hometown to prove that she knew how to use the controversial term in a sentence.
ReplyDelete"When you hunt a moose, blood libel to pour out of it," she told reporters. -Andy Borowitz
I am trying to figure out what TOTUS means? It can't be good. Something of the United States, obviously...
ReplyDeleteIt stands for Teleprompter Of The United States. Stupid, huh?
The timing is wrong, the tone is wrong and the tenor is wrong. Palin talks way too much about herself.
ReplyDeleteMost of all, Palin could have spoken to us as the devoted mother of five who felt the pain of the parents who lost their child, and of the children who lost their parents in that savage attack. In fact, the words of comfort she did offer felt almost like an afterthought: Oh, yeah, sorry about all those people who were shot ... but did you hear the nasty things the liberals are saying about me? She desperately needed someone to tell her, "Sarah, I know the attacks on you sting, but don't you really want to focus on the attacks that killed six Americans and wounded 13 more?"
This was no Mama Grizzly protecting her cubs. This was a bitter, self-centered politician protecting her hide.

children will never be President.
$$$$$ that's all. Who knows what Bruce, et al. really believes. They are in it for the ratings which translates into $$$$ and let's not forget the power trip they're on.
ReplyDeleteSome of you may remember Media Insider, a commenter here and elsewhere who raised some ire with her predictions etc. But one thing she nails is how sick much of the entertainment world is. My sister, a 10 yr Hollywood veteran, confirms this. In the old days, entertainers like Bruce could be controlled by parent companies so they were presentable. Now-- with the yawning insatiable maw of outlets that need "stories" and publicity-- broadcasters and entertainers (think Kathy Levi Griffith) are encouraged and rewarded for being outrageous. Their adolescent act-out selves are displayed for shock value to make money. (Remember how shocking Rosie O'Donnell once was? The audience everyone is trying to reach is the 18-24 crowd where fart humor and guns are standards.) Sarah Palin is the first politician to be inaugurated into this realm: that shock value = news value = place on the public stage. Sad to say, but the fact that a society rewards such rude, juvenile idiocy makes me mourn our society. And show my age. Public debate requires discipline and respect of the opponent. What we've got now is just media mayhem. You may say that Loughner is schizophrenic. I wonder if we're not all a bit schizo these days from the noise of information, mostly false, assaulting us, including the idea that a Mean Lesbian Who Needs a Gun to Feel Worthy Because of A Messed up Girlhood can be a Media Sensation.
ReplyDeleteIf you need an idea of the ugliness in the hearts of Sarah Palin supporters, here is another example from C4P:http://conservatives4palin.com/2011/01/joel-b-pollak.html
ReplyDelete"There is also nothing unusual about using a term with a specific historical origin and applying it to other cases. We use the term “lynching” to describe the unfair targeting of a particular individual, even though lynching emerged from a very painful context of racial prejudice against blacks the American South. Few argue that the term “lynching” is off limits for that reason."
Sarah and her followers become offended at a much less racially charged word (the R word, I wouldn't dare spell it out). But, LYNCHING means hanging people without a trial just because they were African Americans. Lynching involved targeting, and KILLING!
These are the same people who think that cross hairs are surveyor's marks and refudiate really is a word.
Just who is this whore? In reading the wikipedia page, I found that she had been in a relationship with Bill Bixby's former wife (Brenda Benet), who committed suicide (shot herself) when Tammy came knocking at her door. Tammy was around 19 y.o. at the time.
ReplyDeleteMy point is -- why should we even be paying attention to her or anything she has to say? She is obviously extremely bitter and negative. If only President or First Lady Obama would pay attention to Tammy or to Sarah -- that is what this is all about!
Ugly black shrunken hearts that spew hatred about an event that saw the murder of a 9 year old girl. Sarah Palin was angry too in her video. And Glen Beck and his fellow radio personality were yelling and screaming yesterday because of Joe Scarborough. Crazy. People who listen to this day and day out have their brains closed and their hearts hardened so they have no empathy and no ability to understand anything that's happening in the real world.
ReplyDeleteThis does NOT surprise me in the least. Her most ardent supporters all sound like this. They don't even have the "common sense" to realize they are monsters.
ReplyDeleteThe only people who support her (& her friends, O'Reilly, Beck, Hannity, Rush, etc) that really are sweet & would be absolutely horrified if they really knew what she was like are people (older in most cases)who don't hear or read about her anywhere else.
My co-worker loves her. Not because of anything she stands for, it is just because she has a down syndrome baby. Her daughter has a down syndrome baby so she feels that she shares a connection to this wonderful (gag me) woman. Because of this one small connection she would never even look at anything regarding her policies nor her real life activities.
If you listen carefully to the Tammy Bruce and RAM interview, you will hear Bruce prompt RAM with "surveyor sites."
ReplyDeleteThis is classic mistake of rookie reporters. Bruce should have taken a deep breath and let RAM speak for herself. Hard to know what she really might have said, now.
I think we'll continue to see some people continue to use violent and divisive rhetoric BUT I also think more people with notice it and find it inappropriate and distasteful. Our president tapped into what is best about Americans, and I believe that many will be responsive to his calls to remember, to try to be better. My hope is that we have turned a corner and what's ahead will be progressively different.
ReplyDeleteGryphen, I'm so glad you've decided to highlight this. When I read about it in the comments last night, I was so appalled by the foulness of it all.
ReplyDeleteJohn Boehner stayed in D.C. to play politics at a GOP dinner rather than hitch a ride on Air Force One to be at the memorial of the victims of Jared Lee Loughner. It was a horrible miscalculation that just scuttled Johnny Bonehead's pirate statesmanship, which is taking on water today.

Who's the "we"? The only person I ever heard using the verb "lynch" like that was Clarence Fucking Thomas..
ReplyDelete"We CONSERVATIVES use the term “lynching” to describe the unfair targeting of a particular individual, even though lynching emerged from a very painful context of racial prejudice against blacks the American South. Few RIGHT-WINGERS argue that the term “lynching” is off limits for that reason."
Fixed that for ya.
Two peas from the same pod, palin and bruce.
ReplyDeleteSick, sick, miserable low-lifes
How very, very sad to live in the world those words indicate. She missed the love, the sadness, the joy, the thankfulness, and all the other emotions present last night at that meeting. So lost in her hate and triumphalism, she missed the humanity. Those were real people last night laughing, cheering, and crying together, led by a man every bit as human as they.
ReplyDeleteSpeechwriter Robert Shrum neatly summarized the Obama-Palin disparity:
ReplyDelete“At the end of the day, after listening to the president, we’ll know why he’s president and she never will be.”
Comparison of yesterday's speeches:
Palin was a rowboat to Obama’s aircraft carrier.
Watching Palin yesterday morning, she looked caustic and small. Watching the president last night, he looked like a giant national leader, which in turn made Palin shrink even further, to the point at which she's hardly visible.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.washingtonmonthly.com/archives/individual/2011_01/027514.php
This is why I have said in the past we need to clearly distinguish ourselves from these monsters, and one way is through our words. The one area where I have felt we have started to sound uncomfortably like these anti-social deviants is when we talk about Bristol Palin. I know she has offered up some red meat herself that makes it hard to resist slamming her - like her "big middle finger" comment - but she's still only barely out of her teens and it DOES NOT MAKE US LOOK LIKE OBAMA DID AT THE MEMORIAL to talk about her in some of the ways I've seen.
ReplyDeletePlease, if nothing else except for strategic reasons, we have got to choose more mature forms of criticism for the Palin family.
These assholes will say anything for a paycheck.
ReplyDeleteI used to read comments like Tammy Bruce's and get mad. Now I read them and realize...they're scared. They're on the ropes, and trying to wildly swing their way out.
ReplyDeleteRepublican pollster Steve Lombardo noted something similar last night. "It was supposed to be simply a chance to make a good speech, but it may be more than that," Lombardo said. "It may be a time when we look back and say that he re-made himself tonight into the President we thought he could be."
ReplyDeleteOn Fox News, Charles Krauthammer added, "I wouldn't underestimate how this is going to affect the perception of president."
And what might that new perception be? To me, it's that of President Grown-Up. As the tragedy unfolded in Tucson, the usual suspects began a predictable conversation, and for five straight days, we were enveloped in tiresome squabbling.
Last night, the grown up in the White House stood above the noise. "Yes, we have to examine all the facts behind this tragedy," he said. "We cannot and will not be passive in the face of such violence. We should be willing to challenge old assumptions in order to lessen the prospects of such violence in the future. But what we cannot do is use this tragedy as one more occasion to turn on each other. As we discuss these issues, let each of us do so with a good dose of humility. Rather than pointing fingers or assigning blame, let's use this occasion to expand our moral imaginations, to listen to each other more carefully, to sharpen our instincts for empathy and remind ourselves of all the ways that our hopes and dreams are bound together."

Speeches from national leaders are about as common as the sunrise, but delivering remarks in the wake of a tragedy is a unique presidential charge, and it involves threading a rhetorical needle. Obama had to be positive, but not unsympathetic. Somber, but not depressing. Presidential, but not detached. He had to appeal to our better Angels, but avoid even a hint of political partisanship.
ReplyDeleteAnd so the president took the stage at the University of Arizona last night, mindful of these responsibilities, and delivered a genuine triumph. It wasn't just pitch perfect, it was as emotionally satisfying as any speech I've heard Obama deliver.

I have seen the ugliness if Sarah Palin supporters all the way back to 2008. At first I was completely shocked that they could be that way. Now I just look at them as an ugly freakish oddity. History will not treat these people kindly.
ReplyDeleteIn fact, history's reflection on these people is what I look forward to. There will likely be a little chapter on the Tea Party's birth as an extreme reaction to President Obama's election (well except for Texas Education books).
As a C4Pee poster wrote here a couple of days ago "it's an unfortunate coincidence that the anti-government movement coincided with the election of the first black president..." Right. While they refer to him as Urkel. Truly, Sarah Palin supporters are very ugly and these tweets she wrote a perfect example.

10catsinMD, Gryphen had a wonderful post a few days back about the the domestic violence and sex trafficking of native women/girls in Alaska titled Alaska's Secret Shame. Not "nice" but well worth reading.
ReplyDeleteI wish everyone would focus on the plight of women and children around the world. I bet that if all the energy (good or bad) spent on worthless beings such as Palin was instead focused on women and children, we could solve some of these horrible problems.
I wish we could find a level headed conservative ( yes ther are some) who is prominent in the media to do a story on this to CLEARLY illustrate the kind of comments that Americans want toned down. Like these!! Gryphen you did a great job but I wish the national media or someone would do a story giving examples. Rebecca ManSour is another one.
ReplyDeleteLast night on MSNBC Lawrence O'Donnell showed a tweet from the leader of a white supremacist group in Arizona. It was sicker than Tammys. It was just unbelievable.

Top 10 Reasons to Stop the Blood Libel Schmear Campaign against Honorary Jew Sarah Palin

You keep Israel close to your heart… or at least your chest where you place your Israel lapel pin.
You have an Israel flag in your office. You once told Israel’s president Shimon Perez “The only flag at my office is an Israeli flag…and I want you to know and I want Israelis to know that I am a friend.” Well it turns out Israel is one of three flags but who’s counting? And it’s smaller but that’s so it stands out from the bigger framed flags.
You’re such a Jew, I even designed a cover for your next book, Going Rugelach: A Jewish American Life.
Sarah Palin does not do what she does alone. It is important to know the people behind her. Who would have thought she would be compatible with this hate radio mouth piece from L.A.? This shines a new light on Palin's thinking and team. Bruce is no stranger to political manipulation. Rebecca Mansour and Tammy Bruce make total sense together and I would like to learn more about their team work.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Gryphen, for bringing this to my attention.
Many of Obama’s detractors have always thought that Obama’s talk of civility and commonality was a form of—take your pick—misty-eyed idealism, cynical performance art, or above-the-fray haughtiness. I could not disagree more. Everything I learned while writing a biography of Obama tells me that me that a belief in civility, his capacity for hearing out the opposition, his belief in the necessity of compromise, is genuine and deeply ingrained in him. That was how he won the presidency of the Harvard Law Review—his first moment of real ambition—and it was no small part of his appeal as a national political candidate. It is central to his temperament. Predictions are a low form of journalism, but I’d predict this: Obama’s speech last night—and, yes, the contrast between his performance and Sarah Palin’s combative videotape—will remind a lot of people why they voted for him in the first place, and his chances of keeping the White House will be enhanced to a significant degree.

How much more frustration and negative input can Sarahtoxin stand before she "goes postal" herself on our president? We all know she is a loose cannon and could go off in any direction at any time, and her record for throwing tantrums when she does not get her way. I do hope the FBI etc. will keep her, her blackberry and websites all under surveilance because from the looks of her on her 7 minute self pity party "I'm the victim here folks" video she is on the edge. To go from golden girl grizzly mama to world wide most hated figure overnight must be driving both her brain cells to near exploding.
ReplyDeleteFace it Sarah, you have enemies out there who are after you, behind every bush, tree, rock, car and doorway. There are boogers and ghosts and ghouls waiting to devour your pitiful little nasty superstitous soul. Better get to your Witch Doctor and get hexorcised or something right away before all these phantoms close in on you. AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Did a google search on "Urkel" and it turns up the comedy TV character. Racist! Wow. And no complaints to FCC over this? There is an image of him with an equal sign to Obama.
ReplyDeleteThis is a violation of the Civil Rights Act isn't it?
I'd like to propose a new catagory for blog awards. How about a prize for most violent rhetoric.
ReplyDeleteWe must push back. Our silence just allows this to continue unchallenged. We should not try to out-nasty them, we need to use the example of their hatred to be better ourselves. To be worthy of a 9 yo girl and all our children.
Obama Makes Most Powerful Speech of His Presidency
ReplyDeleteObama wasn't in campaign mode in Arizona. He was better than that. The man criticized for his Vulcan detachment in governance suddenly found a deeper groove; with higher fidelity; and affecting compassion. It was as though Obama had finally found his voice — not as a politician but as president.

Tammy Bruce is a parasitic leech. In private, I think she makes fun of Palin daily. She's just in this hate incitement for the money. Who's paying her?
ReplyDeleteI am not surprised Tammy Bruce feels this way about the memorial. I WILL be surprised if that is how the victims' families and the heroes who were being honored feel. From what I could tell, they were touched. And I imagine they appreciated the victims' being talked about positively and cheered for how they lived their lives by an audience of thousands of people. That may be the one moment of peace and comfort they have to hold onto in the days ahead.
ReplyDeleteFor me, last night was no surprise. President Obama hasn't reshaped himself, or his approach. He behaved as I expected him to. It was not a calculated attempt to score political capital. He is who he is, if people responded to that and were reminded of his leadership qualities, that's fine.
ReplyDeleteEvery time he comes before the American people we see the man and we understand his growing gifts. He basically couldn't win in this situation, in that the Right would accuse him of all sorts of things out of simple jealousy. So he had to just go forward with it and say what he wanted to say.
He is a powerful speaker, we all know that. Would the Right wish for him to retreat into his wonky self and never come out? Probably. But he has to come out and be the President. They just can't get over how good he is.
Is that the S&W 38 Bruce used on Brenda Benet and made it look like a suicide?
ReplyDeleteHonestly, where does this trash come from? And why are they allowed a voice?
Tammy Bruce feels safe with her repulsive rhetoric because Limbaugh, Beck et al. say worst things, louder and more often. Tammy Bruce is the schoolyard bully's wimpy sidekick that glories in borrowed power. Without the camoflage of the big RWNJ, Tammy Bruce will whither and fall silent.
ReplyDeleteTammy Bruce's next gig will be a Martha Stewart wannabe. Because without attention, even Tammy has to admit there's really no reason for her to exist at all.
Becky Mansour Since there are no photos of "Becky" have any of you considered that the reason may be is that there is NO FEMALE BECKY MAN...SOUR? Now just who do we know of Sarah's buddies that would be good at playing a nonexistant female, educated enough to write and interested in getting paid consultant fees under-the-table so it wouldn't affect his TeeVee job? Perhaps someone with an ego so big that he would believe that he could fool everyone by using a female version of his own name and it would go unnoticed by the stupid public?

ReplyDelete5:50--"Oh... wow. Oh God. Jesus. Why would someone say that stuff? Say that NOW?"
ReplyDeleteBecause Barack is a black man and therefore not a legitimate occupant of the White House. This whole poisoned atmosphere actually started with "You lie." Delegitimize the prez--he lies, wasn't born here, he's a muslim, he wants to destroy the country, he got in cuz the press was easy on him--so you have no need to respect him. All these reasons let you hide your racism. Then you delegitimize and smear elected officials below him--Pelosi, Reid, etc--and you have no reason to respect them either. Eventually you stop respecting their right to breathe--so you feel free to use gun imagery and rhetoric in speaking about them.
I do feel inspired by Barack's speech. I'm hopeful that in the next 6 years of his presidency, racism gives way to respect for this duly elected, decent, brilliant, persevering, honest and loving man. Melly
With reports/tweets like this, I have serious doubts that our country can actually heal. I believe Palin, the Anti-Christ, has done her damage beyond hopes of repair and reconciliation.

The entire talk radio cabal knows what they are doing. Bruce's employers and sponsors are behind her. This may be the apex of her hideous hieny against a public person but this is not new to the radio station or Tammy Bruce. The alliance of Tammy Bruce, Rebecca Mansour and Sarah Palin is new. It is like your mother told you about who you hang out with. They are only going to enhance each other and bring out the worst of one another.
From tammybruce.com, Special Tammy Radio Guest–Dan Riehl. You can see the people she admires.
Expect more of this garbage. They unite and revel in stirring the pot. They will verbally reload and come out worse than ever.
It frustrates them to have to hold back so much as people are grieving, after a week or two they will really let loose.
It is great that Gryphen is connecting the dots with the alliance. There names should always be together. The MSM will only focus on Palin.
Have any of the alliance noted that the assasin's target is doing well and improving? Do any of the other victims matter to them?
Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz defended Sarah Palin’s use of the term “blood libel” from multiple detractors.
This woman is disgusting. Maybe we should complain to her employer. If you all want to have some fun, go to a blog called Blogs for Victory and torment them.
ReplyDeleteJews for Sarah is a very tiny group of people. I'm Jewish and don't have a single family member or friend who likes Sarah. Most Jews are Democrats but there are a small group of neocons who are Jewish who support her. Bill Kristol used to be an advisor.
ReplyDeleteAnyhow I just wanted to point that out.
Also I am not telling anyone what to do but I do wish that those from our side would not call these women whores or bitches. Just my opinion, but if we want to tone down the language, shouldn't we do our part ? Otherwise aren't we like them. This is really hard for me because I despise Sarahs politics and approach, but I'm going to try. I also am furious and disappointed in these Jewish groups that support her. But luckily this is a small number of people.
' Honestly, where does this trash come from? And why are they allowed a voice? '
ReplyDeleteThey come from "Talk Radio" (Hate Radio). They are well protected and won't go away or wither. It also has to do with the FEC. It would take organization to fight what is going on.
God will judge her.....
ReplyDeleteAnd if I was her, I'd eat good, excercise, and stay away from extreme sports. Her afterlife will be painfull!
I love this remark:
ReplyDelete"Chris Wallace also thinks the speech was great. I guess the Dems were right, Obama did need mass murder to rally his base."

ReplyDeleteThis is the way my kids used to talk when they were little kids,kind of "potty humor".Either Bruce is extremely immature or she is trying to attract those mean kids that never grew up.
ReplyDeleteI think this woman and the other right wing talking heads know what they are doing and choose to spew their distorted hate filled violent words just to sell their soul to the devil for fame/fortune.
Lee Atwater,on his deathbed realized that his life of meanness and destroying people was his legacy and was sorry.He lived his last days in living hell.I kind of think most of these folks will die in the same way.
This is the last thing that SarahPac wants to hear about. They can't wait for the memorials and funerals to go away.
ReplyDeleteGryphen, she's just a live-action troll, same as Sarah. They live to say crap that pushes people's buttons. They're not happy unless they've got drama in their wakes.
ReplyDeleteDon't feed the trolls, baby. Just don't. No matter how appalling they are, how tasteless, how clueless, or crass.
After reading (and gagging on) Tammy Bruce's words, I experienced a strong memory of political discourse during the turbulent 60s. Back then, I was one of the angry young ones against the Vietnam War. I read everything that was written about it; talked to friends who had fought in the war and read "the other side of the story" namely William F. Buckley. Although I disagreed with him vehemently, I read his column and watched his weekly TV show religiously because he presented his arguments in a very cogent, reasonable way. To me, Charles Krauthammer is as close to Buckley as we're going to get this time and even he is calling out Palin for her rhetoric. Of course it is not enough. Every few years, a polarizing figure becomes prominent. My parents often talked of Father Coughlin who was prominent in the 1930s. He used the fairly new medium of the radio to spread his vitriol, mostly directed at FDR. He was finally silenced by his own church, but he did a lot of damage.
ReplyDeleteNow that a black man actually stands in the most powerful position in the world, it was inevitable that there would be those who serve to amplify and push the flow of racist hatred. This is just reality. While they couch their language in more subtle undertones (Urkel, etc), the message is clear to anyone really listening.
ReplyDeleteI say, bring it on. Obama is no fool, and I feel pretty certain that he was aware this atmosphere would come about. It will be a slow and uphill battle, but like he always does, he will expose them in the end simply by contrast alone. Him, showing the decency of humanity, with them, showing how rotten humanity can be. He will remain dignified, it will drive them nuts, and they won't be able to help themselves. While dark, but perhaps true, I think the latest tragedy isn't the last we will see while Obama is in office, unfortunately. I sure hope I am wrong.
What I'm trying to express, is that this will not quiet down any time soon. Rush Limbaugh's first tact after the tragedy was to blame Democrats. America's wound is still fresh, and we see that they're already turning up the volume.
It seems as though dark hatred has not yet, excuse my words, completely reared it's head. Unfortunately, it may not be until it is fully exposed that we see the core of the problem.
This of course means that the stage is now set for 2012. More than 2008, it will truly be an election about hope vs fear.
Considering the sosusrce, Tammy Bruce, and her vile distorted tweets it is no surprise she was willing to provide her radio show to put the revisionary lie out there that crosshairs are "surveyor's marks". Bruce clubbed the halibut speaking first for Mansour the crosshairs were surveyors marks.
ReplyDeleteI have always viewed a dire circumstance or tragedy as a moment in time to see peoples true character come out in how they respond to what happened. Palin was true to her character as well as her supporters.
C4P's concern was limited to Sarah's hurt feelings. No remorse, guilt nor regret for their symbols of violence nor the murdered and injured.

Regarding Krauthammer, I think this will only incite more hatred against President Obama. The more Presidential he is, the more he displays the leadership this country needs, the more a certain faction will hate and vilify him. For whatever reasons; he's a Democrat, he's Black, whatever.

ReplyDeleteUrkel is a successful fictional comical nerd. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Urkel
"Originally slated to have been a one-time only character on the show, he soon became its most popular character"
Nothing bad about Urkel. It only proves that Bruce is desperate. She is totally feeling impotent and she is pissed.
Bruce is unable to think about the victims and thinks a visual of a popular, funny, decent nerd demeans the President's leadership? She only managed to show that this racist rant will pull together those like Palin and Bruce. She is not too smart, just mean and vile. Palin probably envies her freedom of speech. You can imagine what Palin would do and say if she could be in Bruce's position.
BTW: Bruce is homely as sin. That photo is not how she appears in person. She has found better make up and photographers over the years but she does not look as nice as her face looks in the above photo.

ReplyDeleteBTW: Who or what is Urkel?
'Urkel' is from an OLD sitcom -- 'google' it to get the best info.
One of the reasons that it is UBER vital for SarahPac, Sarah Palin, Mansour, Bruce to focus on her victimization is because they must end any and all mention of her style of parenting. Only she can put her props in public, only she can control what is said and done. Anyone that mentions Bristol or the others will automatically be rendered "blood libel" and see she was right about how she was attacked. SarahPac supporters will never address the timing or anything they don't like about how they determined to handle the National Mourning. They are only interested in controlling any discussions about how she raises her children and Bristol or the others.
ReplyDeleteMs. Bruce, once Palin becomes president, your time is up. She hates homosexuals. She hates them so much as governor, her first act was to try to bounce gay couples out of the state's benefits package. I believe she also attempted to get rid of a librarian because the woman failed to get rid of deviant literature. So, enjoy your freedom to be different now because this new God of her's does not accept people like you. You will be history.
ReplyDeleteSarah Palin, the company you keep says a lot about a person.
ReplyDeleteTammy Bruce, Sarah Palin, Ann Coulter and Rebecca Mansour have just about reached the end of their 15 minutes of fame.
ReplyDeleteThey are like those mean girls in high school who bully the other girls, but then wonder why nobody likes them when they get to college or go out into the real world.
It's terrible that it took a tragedy of this magnitude to wake the country up to this madness, but hopefully the Tucson victims did not die in vain.
Ann Coulter wanna be?
ReplyDeleteDoes she still have a program on radio? If so, what station?
ReplyDeleteWow. Tammy Bruce is one cold hearted racist bitch. She targeted just about every ethnic group possible in her posts. On what planet is such offensive bigotry even remotely acceptable? THAT’S the kind of offensive bullshit that has dragged our national discourse into the gutter. It hasn’t been since the “good ol’ days” of Jim Crow that bigots have felt so free and unfettered that they could proudly proclaim their narrow minded pus filled hatespeak.
ReplyDeleteBruce has instantly catapulted her way on to the top my list. If I outlive that bitch, my hand to God, I pledge to piss on her grave. Hell, in her case I may even linger and take a dump. That might be the most offensive and disgusting collection of posts ever sent in such a short span of time.
She has certainly made a strong bid in the “Biggest Asshole on the Face of the Earth” contest. Mind you, she has plenty of worthy competitors. Several of them sharing the last name “Palin.”

A couple times I swear both of them had to stop and think about what they were saying because they were having a hard time staying on their ridiculous point. BTW my 19 yrold watched scara's attempt at speech yesterday and she said, "Mom I really didn't stop to hear what she had to say because her body language said enough, she look uncomfortable like she was squeezing the speech out of her ass." I nearly lost it. It hurts my heart to hear people claiming to be Christian, waring gold crosses around their necks, (I always see laura with hers) complain that there was a medicine man speaking (yes, she said it did not make sense) and then foam at the mouth about how inappropriate Obama's speech was. I want to call the men with the straight jackets to come and round these people up.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like it might be time to identify her sponsors. She has the right to free speech, and I have the right to buy products from companies that haven't bought airtime on her show to promote such garbage.
ReplyDeleteLet's give her advertisers the same respect that created problems for Beck's advertisers.
I was moved by the President's speech last night, and indeed the entire service. I honestly want to embrace the call for unity and rise above partisan mudslinging. But then I read things like this and I know - these people truly have dark, hateful hearts. They're also shameless liars.
ReplyDeleteThe right-wing blogs are busy today spreading "outrage" over the fact that the University of Arizona passed out t-shirts at last night's event. Of course, their version is that "White House operatives" passed out the shirts, and that the shirts were pro-Obama. Even when informed that the University bought the shirts and was solely responsible for them, pundits like Michelle Malkin are STILL blaming Obama and countless wingnuts are still passing along the lie.
Apparently, Obama is also responsible for the behavior of every college student in that auditorium, since the right is heaping that on today as well. I'm sorry, but these people are simply AWFUL human beings. Their rage is so intense and their minds so poisoned that I don't ever see a day when there will be reasonable, honest discussion with them. They are simply incapable.
Now , ALL of a sudden, Sarah is a VICTIM of violent tweets.
ReplyDeleteOf course this is on Fox News!!
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/01/13/palin-targeted-tweets-following-arizona-shooting-massacre
Do you believe this or is she STILL trying to play the victim
. And why should Sarah get FBI protection?? She's not an elected person. I would bet that Palinbots wrote these tweets because in the two years reading blogs and articles about Sarah I have NEVER even once seen a violent threat against her. But I have seem hundreds of death threats against people who speak out about Sarah and the president.
I think she put this story out. We are dealing with a sociopath and have to remember that
The ugliness of this woman's soul is reflected in her eyes. But she is only one of the far right minions spewing hatred for this president and his wife even after a moving speech. However, the verdict is already out on the stark contrast between the president's healing, upbeat, and uniting speech and Palin's petty, self-serving, childish words.
ReplyDeleteHere are some photos of Tammy Bruce. She looks a "bit" different to the photo you posted Gryphen. :)

Considering her prominence as one of Palin's top aides, I'm truly shocked by Mansour's hate-mongering, racist, venomous statements.
ReplyDeleteNote to RAM (and Sarah, since I know you're reading this): YOU ARE SO FUCKED. Sarah, you will never be president, as much as it is so very painfully obvious you would sell your soul to be. But you have to have a soul first, and you don't.
As for RAM, she is living her pathetic life vicariously through Sarah Palin.
Except for them and their deluded bots, the rest of the world can see them exactly for what they are: Desperate for the attention they know they can't get any other way than being total fucking assholes.
Well now that we know Palin is paying Tammy Bruce who is a lesbian to shovel chit on the President, then it's past time for that other door to open and Todd to come out of the closet with a best seller.
ReplyDeleteSince Palin is ever-lovin buddies with Tammy then I am sure Palin would not be too upset when Todd tells all his secrets.
Tawd, come out come out wherever you are hiding and quit carrying your fake wife's purse.
Can you imagine all of the people disappearing if Palin became president? And, can you imagine the traffic jam getting into Canada?
ReplyDeleteTammy Bruce is a seasoned expert on "victimhood."
ReplyDeleteThe perfect consultant for Sarah Palin. She is up there with the cream of the crop of Sarah Pac advisers. She and Mansour may be all that is left of the Palin handlers. It would not surprise me if Bruce didn't help Mansour write the ME! ME! ME! "Blood Libel" ME! ME! ME! day of mourning speech for Palin.
The New Thought Police: Inside the Left's Assault on Free Speech and Free Minds (2001)
"And elsewhere she says that because feminists and civil rights activists portray their constituencies as the "victimized", it is necessary to institutionalize their victimhood."
What I'm hearing from the supporters of Palin they are defending her on the grounds that she has been unduly attacked, as if other politicians don't have it so bad. Therefore it was alright for her to bring up "blood libel" with the timing that handlers deliberately designated. It is also alright to omit heartfelt concern for the victims and usurp the day of a national memorial for the sake of Palin's thinking of her victim hood.
The Sarah Palin Interview, With
Special Guest Appearance by Piper Palin! This is an example of the special media subscribers receive as Tammy Army Members.
"Ya, relaxed….Sarah even said sucks…!"
"Thanks TUA ;) And thanks for posting at SondraK. We need to think of a kid segment so I can have Piper for an exclusive interview." Tammy
They don't know how to handle Christina Green's death.
Has anyone on Sarah's team or in Sarah Pac addressed the killing of a nine year old? What a coincidence that she was doing what Piper did? Attending political events. Not saying there is any comparison to the situations both girls were in and not blaming Piper for anything. She is a victim of the political operatives that use her, including talk radio hosts from Alaska to Los Angeles. Piper's place at political events was not as a student interested in the political process.
You would think that the children would be Sarah's foremost grief, if she or the others feel grief. They are acting like they are nothing but political reactionaries who have lost their humanity. I haven't seen them protecting or even thinking about their cubs or any other cubs during this tragedy. Piper isn't allowed contact with the world and she may have no idea about any details like victims ages. If she thinks her mother is going to run for office that would mean she will be attending many more political events. I would think it would be a sensitive subject for her. Most children of politicians only have to deal with the fear of something happening to the parents. Piper has to be out there in front shielding her mother. Doing radio for children shows would be a lot safer.
It drives the likes of Sarah Palin and Tammy Bruce INSANE that Obama showed nothing but dignity. At least that is my guess as to why Tammy responded the way she did. I can only imagine how Sarah reacted behind close doors. I think they want him to react. They want him to lash out. But he won't, and they fucking can't stand it. In Obama, they see what they are not. For someone like Sarah, he reminds her of her small, petty nature. Until he is extinguished, in her view, she is inadequate. She radiates the core nature of a bully: bring others down in order to lift yourself up.
ReplyDeleteAs far as bullies go, Sarah is the worst as they come. Even as someone is murdered, she probably feels nothing. If anything, perhaps she feels justified in her rhetoric. Clearly she feels no remorse.
It's not a stretch to say this: we literally have a killer running for office.
Just another soulless shock jock.
ReplyDeleteAnn Coulter wanna be?
ReplyDeleteBruce started long before anyone heard of Coulter. She was a contemporary and friend of Dr. Laura. She defended her when Dr. Laura said biological errors and all that. She is a fraud with a lot of experience in the games they play. She is still on the radio.
She sells books and goes on the O'Reilly show and others. She knows all about how the librul media attacks the RW. Also Bernie Goldberg puts out the same type of books.
To access today's show just go to the TAM Podcasts page.

Tammy and O'Reilly do this same routine over and over. Now Sarah Palin is there favorite RWNJ.

ReplyDeletePalin To Do TV Interview Monday
http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/01/13/palin-to-do-tv-interview-monday/
Sarah uses "blood libel" in a sentence:
ReplyDelete"When you hunt a moose, blood libel to pour out of it," Sarah Palin told reporters at a press conference in her hometown today.
Andy Borowitz, 01.13.2011
Comedian and creator of BorowitzReport.com
It's pretty obvious she didn't understand what was going on at yesterday's memorial service.
ReplyDeleteI loved the service and thought our President did an outstanding job. And, the crowd was outstanding!
Even the volunteer that helped Gabby was interviewed on TV last night after the event and stated the huge crowd was celebrating the lives of those that had passed and the recovery of the others that had been hurt.
Sarah Palin continued with her
negative rhetoric yesterday and her base is very upset with the response the media has given to Palin throughout the nation and world.
She has completely ruined her chances of ever being elected President of the United States.
So all these weeks on Sarah Palin's Alaska, she looked like an ass and a clown, her children repeatedly disrespected her, she showed that she is not a hunter or fishing expert and she showed she has no control in her house, all for a million dollars. So the past couple of weeks Sarah goes into hiding and makes a hideous presidential looking video with an American flag and fireplace wearing a suit probably paid for by SarahPac and we are suppose to forget her clown performance on SP's Alaska and look towards her for leadership. Man this woman is such a ignorant hill billy trailer park queen.
ReplyDeleteI noticed in the Tundra Turd's video that stress and exhaustion are clearly evident on her face. I've always thought that she is mentally unstable and that when she finally comes tumbling down in the press, as we're seeing this week, that it might trigger a mental breakdown. Wonder if that's what's happening and we're seeing her begin to unravel.
ReplyDeleteThese idiots are all basically on the same page.
ReplyDeleteThey are all victims of a conspiracy. Tammy Bruce has been preaching this for what seems like forever. Now she has latched on to the latest Queen of Victimization. She won't let go. She needs it to generate more money and prove how right she is. It's a "conspiracy" and Tammy knew it all along. I almost forgot about the Fairness Doctrine. "There are constant serious political efforts made to terminate this program and all of talk radio, Fox News and what have you." They can't stand for any discussion to go away from what they have to say and they way they frame things.
Limbaugh believes being called out for his violent rhetoric is part of a conspiracy to silence 'all of talk radio, Fox News'
And to think some people actually thought that the people who were shot up in Tucson were victims.

A New Judge For the Giffords Case and An Early Problem For Him
Which, of course, begets the question as to why the Federal government has so aggressively seized primary prosecutorial position, when the State of Arizona, which has just as onerous (death penalty/life in prison) penalties as the Federal government (and is much more fluent in using them), and has jurisdiction to prosecute Loughner for offenses against ALL the victims, was available and ready to take the lead. A question the DOJ really ought to answer in this unique case.
Man sour (to paraphrase Colbert last night) is now telling the media that Palin is getting death threats.
ReplyDeleteSigh. The victim? Again?
Anything to bring it (the media) back to her.
http://www.thenation.com/blog/157732/sarah-palins-death-threat-claims
(I don't countenance death threats, to ANYBODY, but this just sounds like another grab for attention)
I'm way ahead of you, Anonymous @ 11:58 a.m. I moved to Canada years ago, however, I am still an American citizen and voter. In fact, we have a very strong group of ex-pats who voted for Obama living here in Southern Ontario. We are just as upset about this mass murder as our American neighbours. Although I can't speak for the rest of my American friends living here, I am sick to death of all the nasty, inflammatory rhetoric that has been coming from the mouths (and asses) of the far right. Fortunately, we have to pay extra here to watch FOX news, so it's a no-brainer for me.

ReplyDeletethis is SO sad, she looks and sounds like a small animal in a trap...
Aurora
Not at all surprising. Sarah probably says worse things than that when the camera is not on. The sad thing is that there are people in Alaska that have the goods on her and have not or will no come forward. It will be too late once she has the title President Palin.
ReplyDeleteFor decades Tammy Bruce has been a paid hack. She knows what is going on. She was paid to do a job, the same one she always does. It is either hack or kiss the butts of those on her side of the ideological line.
ReplyDeleteI can't help it... every time I see this picture of Bruce and her toy, the pull-ups Diaper jingle keeps running through my head... "I'm a big kid with a pistol. Wow!. A big pistol makes me big, now! Mommy wow! I'm a big kid now!"
ReplyDeleteHaving a little person around the house, make me in tuned to diaper commercials. This jingle has served me faithfully and helps me calm down when witnessing the new, idiotic political fashion of wearing a gun as a fashion accessory.
1:34 PM
ReplyDeleteThe other day TMZ and Kristan Cole did their best to do the same thing. SarahPac has pulled this one too many times to be taken serious. No matter how much she can improve her poor me acting skills, I don't think anyone with brain cells will believe her. She has some form of Munchausen's syndrome.
No one wants death threats for anyone. That is why it is so treacherous when people fake it for their own purposes. Sick. We are suppose to be paying attention to the signs of mental illness and help those people into treatment.
For her sake if there is any truth to this, I hope she can back up the claims. When people go on tv and exaggerate or make things up, that it is a cry for help.
She is calling "security experts." Hmmmmm....
imnofred
ReplyDeleteI don't see how she could be P.P. unless, God forbid, one of their devious plans are successful. The people in Alaska that are holding back are complicit with her and they have blood on their hands. They aren't giving up their meal tickets or whatever keeps them beholden. Some claim to be living in terror and the corruption is so deep that they can't leave the miserable place or find a way to be courageous. If more innocents die or suffer injury, they rather have that on their hands then get out of that place and do something right.

Sorry, I agree with Bruce. Too much whooping and whistling. They even had tshirts with a new logo on it. Why tshirts? Weird.
