Somehow I doubt that Palin will speak about the tragic shooting in Tucson, RAM's ridiculous lies about crosshairs actually being surveyor symbols, or how we need to tone down the violent rhetoric in politics.
However we CAN count on her to bring up Ronald Reagan ad nauseum, slam the "Lamestream" media, and to polish up her image as a tough chick from Alaska who can shoot wild game for dinner off of of her backporch with one hand, while simultaneously giving an interview to Bill O'Reilly for the Fox News network, and writing a speech on energy with the other hand. And this might just be the kind of crowd dimwitted enough to believe her!
To be honest it really does not matter WHAT Palin says to this crowd. Palin is the only female on the ticket, and clearly her job is to inspire boners, not intellectual debate.
Palin will share the stage with such County Fair luminaries as Larry the Cable Guy, the Marshall Tucker Band, Micheal Reagan (The adopted one), and Matt Lewis: Elvis Impersonator Extraordinaire, just to class the place up a little bit.
Where else could you possibly find such an incredible array of talent? You know besides any Flea Market, bingo hall, or grand opening of a new Piggly Wiggly that is?
I wish I could say I am stunned that Sarah Palin would stand in front of a crowd of people and advocate gun use and hunting so soon after a massacre that left six people dead and over a dozen wounded in Arizona, but I am not. Sarah Palin is too self absorbed and insensitive to let a little thing like the death of innocents stand in the way of her ability to make money.
I also wish that the people who attend this function would confront Palin on just what she was thinking when she placed those crosshair images over Gabby Giffords district, among others, and whether or not she understands that her careless use of violent imagery and hateful rhetoric have helped to create an environment where this same thing might very well happen again? And that the next time it might be linked directly to her?
But they won't. Which of course is exactly why Palin feels comfortable standing in front of them and vomiting forth her patented word salad.
Well perhaps it will not be a total loss, and one of the REAL hunters at the event can teach Sister Sarah how to actually use a rifle to kill an animal without requiring six shots and her father nearby to work the bolt for her.
I am still at a loss to understand how anybody could watch THAT clip and still think that the Grizzled Mama is an appropriate person to speak to a room full of actual hunters.
the grudge-holding Grifting Grizzled Granny will remain one of the lunatic leaders of the fringey extremist T'baggers, just as will that idiot in Tucson who runs the T'Party
ReplyDelete- kellygrrrl
I don't know Gryphen, they may boo and hiss her, lol. I read a lot of hunter blogs dissing her as a "real" hunter and calling bull on her lying about it. She may be the joke of the whole event.
ReplyDeleteShould be interesting, as these are real hunters, seriously, not just gun enthusiasts.
They know disrespect for the sport when they see it.
Sweat it out Sarah, but dress sexy so they disrespect you even more. You are headed down a slippery slope. You deserve to fall on your ass.
Hey, Socialist Elites- it's a paycheck and the pistol-packin' mama is nearing her expiration date. And none of her trailer trash fans will complain about her crassness. She's taking Trigg ain't she?
ReplyDeleteGit-R-done!
the folks at SCI dont need 6 shots to survey their quarry.
ReplyDeleteWhen I moved from Ca. to the South, animal-lover that I am, I was shocked by hunting. Since, have learned it is literally for many putting food on the table, not for fun. A clean shot is preferable to a cattle slaughterhouse or the unspeakable conditions for our grocery chicken purchases. My amazement is that Palin would have the nerve to address hunters as is she is one, having been exposed as a total phony by other hunters. She just stumbles on, becoming a joke in all departments.
ReplyDeleteGreat post, Gryphen. These types of circus events show just how low she is willing to go in order to rake in money and keep her own personal circus afloat. I am encouraged by her decision to keep this on the calendar. One more obvious example of her complete lack of presidential qualifications, and the majority of Americans recognize it for what it is: just blind money grubbing.
ReplyDeletefrom a facebook post speaking out using cross hair gun sights:
ReplyDeleteAnn said:
As a hunter and an avid gun user...the number one rule is, don't point it at something you do not intend to kill....you know, this whole intent thing is even more chilling when you put that into the prospective...thanks for point that out Jackie.
She's REALLY appearing on the same stage as Larry the cable guy? Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe that a group of hunters would still believe all that phony-baloney about $P being the Great White Huntress after her pathetic demonstration on SPA. These people obviously have too much money and too few brain cells.
If I didn't know better I'd say whoever was calling the shots at Palin Inc. was trying to torpedo her political career. Speaking at this event is a bone-headed move if I ever saw one.
What does giving a speech have to do with anything? It's not the gun that kills, it's the person. This has to be remembered. Under your logic, spoons make people fat, pencils misspell words, and cars drive drunk. If all guns evaporated tomorrow, people would still die. Anger would still be prevalent.
ReplyDeleteWe need a President who doesn't inspire hate through his rhetoric and deceptiveness.
She is a disaster in each and every way. You'd think a lawyer would advise her against going.

That video is like a signed confession: "I, Sarah Palin, have no practical experience or knowledge of wild game hunting."
ReplyDeleteIt's just stunning that she can put that video out there after posing as an avid hunter for all these years. Stunningly stupid.
Wipe the foam from your mouth and:
ReplyDeletebreathe in

Pathetic, just pathetic. Who taught her how to shoot? It looked very much like that animal was tied to a rope too.
ReplyDeleteNot to worry. The guys won't be listening to her. They'll be sitting in the audience gently stroking their guns as her words pass right over their heads. Many will likely be wearing earplugs so as not to disrupt the visual. Expect her to wear very big hair, boots,leather, a variety of flag accessories and a cross.
ReplyDeleteThere were/are legitimate death threats against sarah, and they were/are investigated. The reason sarah doesn´t try to steal the headlines and expose these nutcases is understandable. The death threats against sarah palin are coming from her own children.
ReplyDeleteGiven her track (and, gosh, good thing she didn't name him after a treadmill, I suppose that'd be a lot worse of a name) record, maybe she'll cancel at the last minute, or say, like Staplegun used to do, that Sarah had no idea that these people expected her for an appearance, and she has a prior commitment. One can only hope it's a commitment to a mental institution.
ReplyDeleteOne would hope that a group of actual hunters would call Her out on the irresponsible way she tosses around violent terminology. She make them look bad, as well for being careless. Most hunters (I'm not one) are very careful and cautious with their weapons and do not advocate threatening language.
ReplyDeleteOh when is the Iceberg Cometh coming? I'm sick to death of this crazy bitch. Loved Micheal Reagan (the adopted one). He was adopted by Ronnie Baby & Jane Wyman & he's a real piece of work.
ReplyDeleteshe will tell the crowd... my husband calls me "juicy"
ReplyDelete...and then she will stick out her tongue and wink at them.
hope the idiots enjoy watching their money be grabbed by Sarah... for nothing in return.
I understand your anger Gryphen but I do wish you would reign it in a bit.
ReplyDeleteNot ALL gun owners are irresponsible and not all hunters are in it for sport.
That $carah is a fraud in this area is valid. That she will screw up is a given. That she is an 'entertainer' at this venue is OBVIOUS.
I'm just asking you to stop making those brush strokes so wide. You are smearing a lot of good people when you do.
Roger Bybee, In These Times
ReplyDelete"As a hunter, Sarah Palin is a greater menace in the field than Dick Cheney. And I have a feeling that real hunters among my readership will back me up on that.
Fact is, Sarah Palin gives hunting a bad name, and it has nothing to do with the whole cruelty to animals argument, which I'll leave for someone else to hash out. It's based entirely on the fact that she's so clueless and incompetent behind a gun that she ought to trade her rifle in on a tactical nuke, which doesn't require the pinpoint accuracy a hunter needs to make meat without causing unnecessary suffering among the game population."
Not sure if it was too subtle to be picked up on by everyone, but at the Golden Globes last night, someone got up and defended women who strive to educate themselves and do well in life...saying that if they get called "elite" for doing so, it isn't something to be embarrassed about.
ReplyDeleteStriving to remain stupid and collecting welfare as their "career," as so many are led to think is NORMAL, is indeed a shameful direction to allow your life to take.
I'm sure many realized the barb of this remark was aimed at our Screechmistress Sarah, whose speeches and tweets always seem to stress how science and mumbo jumbo by educated people is to be shunned.
She is utterly clueless about how decent human beings behave. Bet she goes up on stage and whines about how she was a victim of the Tuscon massacre. She just can't help herself.
ReplyDeleteIsn't old Sarah going to be playing her I'MA VICTIM" tape for Hanity tonight. Anyone think she will mention that it is Martin Luther King Jr.Day?
ReplyDeleteMust be very trying to play victim one day and badass rogue gun moll killer mama the next.
Maybe it is a SMOKER and Sarah the "entertainment". LOL
Anon@7:30
ReplyDelete"We need a President who doesn't inspire hate through his rhetoric and deceptiveness."
And that's precisely why Sarah Palin will NEVER be President of the United States.
And why we are blessed to have Barack Hussein Obama as our President.
You really think she'll show up?
ReplyDeleteOK, I can't believe I am spending time on this, but to the "guns don't kill people" crowd, here is the thing: if there is a heated argument between two people and there is a gun on the table between them, isn't it much more likely to be used in the heat of the moment than if it wasn't there? Over something like, whose football team is better?
ReplyDeleteI continue to be amazed that a photographer was able to control his/her hysterical laughter long enough to take that first picture.
ReplyDeleteThe question is: will she provide the usual red meat for the hungry crowd? Will the queen of mean dish out her trademark verbal violence?
ReplyDeleteAnd who are these delusional people posting in defense of Palin? As mentioned here by a previous poster, you don't point a gun/point cross hairs, at someone if you don't intend to shoot.
The first thing people learn about guns should be responsibility and respect. I would get the hell away from someone who showed no respect for and was careless with a firearm.
So too should good responsible people get away from the careless use of gun imagery and violent language that is the trademark of Sarah Palin.
So that big thing that's happening behind the scenes that is suppose to put an end to Sarah's political ambitions is not going take place before she appears in front of a roomful of hunters and gun enthusiasts. Shucks!!!
ReplyDeleteLarry's humor seems kind of high brow for Palin.
ReplyDelete.....Later, after a so-so time at the slots, Sarah made her way back to the Merle Haggard Suite at the Reno Circus-Circus. The elevator doors were just closing when she hear a voice "Whoa!," and a hairy, large arm reached in. "Mind if I ride along, miss?"
She tried to stifle her gasp, peeing herself just a bit. "Why Larry... of course."
{...}
The next morning she propped herself up on one elbow while Larry finished a warm Budweiser he'd left on the coffee table. "You gonna call me?" she cooed.
"Yeah, probably," mumbled Larry. He looked her over in the morning light, then quickly left the room.

Anon@7:30 Spoons do make you fat, dumbass. Everybody knows that, especially if they are stuck into ice cream. And guns kill people as surely as the people pulling the triggers.
ReplyDeleteGryphen, she will mention Tucson for sure in the context that we can't let that ridiculous situation affect gun ownership in Amurica. She will also wear her push-up bra and short skirt and maybe Naughty Monkey pumps.
aside from the poor taste and bad timing of this event....I will bet that sister sarah isnt collecting $100k for speeches any more. Not exactly an A list lineup.
ReplyDeletePerhaps she'll pull a scheduling conflict like she did for other events.
ReplyDeleteI would assume this event was scheduled long before the Tuscon tragedy - so altho it is in very poor taste - critism will give her more victimhood.
You know, whatever her Mosque tweet was - "a stab through the heart".... not a question whether it is allowed - but whether it should be done. Let's see how she plays THAT out now that the shoe is on HER foot.
So I keep hearing that telling the truth is not "hating" on someone. Sarah has never said she hates Obama nor has she said she disrespects him. She, along with other non-koolaid drinkers, have only called called people out on heinous lies and deliberate misleadings. Since when is that hate. You claim to do that to her yet you say you're not a hater (even though you spread gross and inaccurate rumors that demean a person)
ReplyDeletePalin is the Charles Manson of her generation.
ReplyDeleteRemember, Manson's followers weren't
poor, peace-loving, liberal hippies, they were
from the suburbs. Their parents were middle class,
white collar, and they were shocked, SHOCKED
(Shocked! I tells ya!) that their children could do
such things.
Remember the outrage when Obama called
Palin a pig, except he didn't really, but that
didn't matter, because they had their tar &
feathers ready anyway? They were like a
bunch of stupid dogs after a fox, they couldn't
wait to rip Obama apart, because their Queen
had been insulted, except not really. She is
always the victim in their eyes. Any doubt
they'd carve Xs on their foreheads & crawl
down to road for her?
Finally the prelude to Hannity interview.

Aaron Sorkin was speaking about the right wing knee-jerk prejudice against the well-educated, in general: in particular, Barack Obama, or anyone else with political power who happens to be highly intelligent or intellectual. This all started with the GW Bush era, it's how they got votes from the everyman.
ReplyDeleteSorkin was the creator of the show West Wing, and is a brilliant writer.
The anti-elitist (racist) argument is what he was referring to for the most part, whether that implies a comment on Sarah Palin or not. He was encouraging his daughter not to be ashamed that she is smart, and yes, a smart female. I have never heard Sarah take swipes at smart women, actually.
I have not seen any other comments about this, so maybe I am just ignorant about the self-preservation instincts of elk. Sarah took shot after shot at that animal. One or two must have at least come close, yet the elk never moved. I started to wonder if it was tethered. It was on the crest of a hill, so anyone behind the elk could have been invisible.
ReplyDeleteI have avoided watching this clip for a reason. I watched it today.
ReplyDeleteWhat a contrived piece of SHIT this is.
REALLY, SARAH??? REALLY???
You're going to stand there and tell me after all the misses... that this animal is going to just stand there and take it?
You are a bigger idiot than I thought.
Gah. What a fuckin' phony you are.
Gryphen, I come from a family of hunters. Food on the table. Responsible men and women who are not what you say they are at all. You want your readers to rein it in, yet off you go on a rant against all hunters that is completely unjustified.
ReplyDeleteAnd, I would imagine that Mrs. Palin signed that contract months ago to speak. Disgusting as she is, and I think we need a better word coined to define mega-disgusting, she will speak.
Please take your own advice.
Palin is simply a narcissistic, mean spirited, congenital moron. She is WAY past her 15 minutes. I wish she would just go away forever.
ReplyDeleteHowever, contrary to the pathetic bleating of Palin, this liberal wishes her no harm. In fact, I want her to live out a VERY long and healthy life in which she is daily reminded of her own inadequacies, loneliness, and stupidity. I want her to wallow in the abject failure that is/was her presidential aspirations. I want her to daily brood upon the nothingness that is her existence. I want her sense of failure and her yearning for power and fame to gnaw at her constantly. I want her to realize that America as a whole LOATHES her. And I want her to do this for decades to come.
Here's to your good health Sarah!
P.S. - If possible, I would like her to do these things from the comfort and warmth of a jail cell.
ReplyDeleteMy guess is that she was already contracted to speak at the SCI before her show exposed her as a fake. She probably doesn't have a choice now. I'm just so amazed when I watch this over again at how little Palin knows about hunting, especially after she repeated so often that she hunted all her life. Why is she still asking her dad if it's time to take the shot?! Can't she make any important decisions on her own?
ReplyDeleteanonymous at 7:30AM says " It's not the gun that kills, it's the person. This has to be remembered."
ReplyDeleteYou are so RIGHT. The pyschotic person wilth an assault weapon kills. And what precisely is your plan to lessen the chances that such person acquires and uses such a weapon?
AFTER you have successfully enacted legislation to limit assault weapons then you might get some traction with your "it's not the guns" stupidity. Until then, think about how INSANE you sound and think up a better line.
Christina Taylor Green was her name. Be sure to think about saying "it's not the guns" to her parents.
Sarah Palin is a sociopath. Ergo, a roomful is positive supply no matter who's sitting there sucking up her words.
ReplyDeleteWe need to keep referring to her as an extremist. One who is a far right fringe wing nut whose husband belonged to a group for 7 years who wanted to secede from the US. All of this is true, right?? Her views are extremely extreme far right fringe on almost every issue. Sarah is so stupid she thinks that most of the country feels like she does. The truth is they don't, and that is why she can't win a general election.
ReplyDeleteIn addition, she really is an insensitive classless person to be doing this talk so soon. What a narcissistic piece of work. See I used to use words like bitch and hate her, but no longer. It isn't easy because I think she is the worst thing to happen in America since I've been alive. She's negative, nasty and divisive. These aren't leadership qualities.
Please oh please Gryphen may your information come out SOON. You can't give us a time line guess at all.
You know we are going to be subjected to her nauseating full of lies talk with Hannity tonight. I can only imagine how she will say. Here is my guess of the contents: "Poor me and Obama this and that and poor me, I'm the real victim and everyone is just trying to make me sit down and shut up and I won't!! And Reagan said, and common sense conservatives blah and low taxes and small government and poor me blah blah blah and the tea party and founding fathers and Reagan and poor me I will not stop talking blah blah blah it's Obamas fault.
ha ha ha.....I read on a cult blog that Chucko handled the gun for her because he was a proud father who couldn't help himself, lol.
ReplyDeleteright........like Scarah would let a man do for her what she could do for herself? did you catch how she did not listen to her father about approaching the caribou before knowing it was dead. (And from what I saw it was still breathing).
No, I highly doubt she would have let daddy load and unload the gun for her unless he's always done that for her in the first place. lame

Agree with 8:46. This gig was probably set up long ago (after googling it, it seems like it was arranged about a year ago). Before Tucson, before SPAlaska. Now, anyone with a shred of decency would gracefully back out, but look who we're talking about.
ReplyDeletePalin may be bound by a contract to speak to the hunters. If I were in her shoes I would cancel the event at any cost to distance from portraying myself as Chris Matthews says "Annie Oakley".
ReplyDeletePalin focused her reality show on impressing people she must kill the family's meat so she can't relinquish that aspect of "I am just like you" massacre or not.

ReplyDeletenice to see Candies ads are helping... NOT!
I'm actually relieved she's decided to double down more defiantly than ever. A "kinder, softer" Sarah Palin is not the Sarah we want to run against in 2012. I'm not convinced she's even going to run, but just in case...with her persistently low approval ratings, I don't want her to go changin'!
ReplyDeleteLet me take a "shot" at it....so to speak. Sarah is on the list of tax dodgers just sent to Julian Assange???
ReplyDeleteOr Sarah will be charged under one of the Bush terrorism laws for inciting terrorism???
The civil lawsuits are a comin yer way $arah.
Anon @ 8:46 am "My guess is that she was already contracted to speak at the SCI before her show exposed her as a fake. She probably doesn't have a choice now."
ReplyDeleteI agree with your first sentence but would like to comment on your second sentence.
Palin does have a choice to do the decent thing and decline speaking at this event. It may not be an easy decision to do this (for her) and would probably mean being financially out of pocket.
I am appalled at her apparent lack of connection and empathy with the victims of the Tuscon Tragedy, especially the parents who just buried their little daughter - a daughter the same age as Palin's youngest daughter.
It seems that $$$ is a higher calling for Palin than the path of deference, dignity and decency.
Keep associating yourself with guns and gore, Grisly Mama! Attagirl!
ReplyDeleteTrue...to commentor above. I know of two incidents (close friends have told me) where a handgun was within reach and in moments of hysteria/fighting/anger/emotion, they were used. One person shot it outdoors, just to get the person she was arguing with to shut up and quit yelling (she felt she needed to do something shocking). The other case, the jealous boyfriend shot his girlfriend. I'm not against gun ownership, but just pointing to the fact that people need to know how to act responsibly.
ReplyDeletePalin will give her routine speech using words as tools and weapons to portray herself in one extreme while spewing lies and nonsense those others are going to transform the country and take everything (your guns, desserts, right to speech etc.) away from you, then toss out red meat to wee wee up people's anger...but heck...she's against what she does and gosh darn what is "polarizing or divisive" about that. She'll speak to "real" Americans, one must have a gun(s) to be "real" jusst like Palin. Barf
ReplyDeleteAnon 8:27: "So I keep hearing that telling the truth is not "hating" on someone. Sarah has never said she hates Obama nor has she said she disrespects him."
ReplyDeleteNope, just that he's hellbent on weakening America, has no cojones, pals around with terrorists, his wife's trying to ban dessert, etc.
What's funny is that Obama has barely mentioned her since she first appeared. That's got to be driving her crazy, considering her obsession with him.

ReplyDeleteI can't thank you enough for staying with this. I appreciate your direct summary and thought provoking post. I don't hunt but I respect decent hunters that honor the tradition and stay away from the Cheney style of trophy hunting. Has Ted Nugent said anymore since his people had him go on CNN? Last I heard he still loved Sarah but he could not say why he wouldn't support her run for office. If it is the TLC hunting scenes with Chuck Heath he must do right for hunting and hunters and speak up. As it is all hunters are getting smeared with a broad brush and they make the future hunters and hunting look like the crazies. The Nuge made big money as a lunatic. He has a mind and he could clear up a few things. As a lunatic, rambling pervert he won't do that. Both Palin and Beck have asked for a line in the sand. That means Ted Nugent and others need to be precise about what they support and what they don't support. Ted Nugent and others need to show they aren't for senseless violence and the misuse of hunting metaphors and the like. People like Nugent are supporting violent images and disparaging the name of good hunters by the perception that they are all lumped together.
ReplyDeleteWe can no longer ignore the signs of mental illness. The day will come when we must look at how things progressed and came to this place. Who is the real Sarah Palin? I would like for the media and journalists to get serious about answering that one question and eventually those that follow.
What is the atmosphere that grew the minds that create the violent visual advertising that is so popular and spreading like wild fire?
Do we want to continue to school and teach our children in a way that is negative? Were Chuck Heath and his friends only about putting food on the table? What else did they teach little Sarah?
Becky Mansour is a big city girl and her gift of creating visual effects fits right in with Sarah Palin. How did Becky Mansour come to the same place from an opposite beginning?
What keeps them so tightly bonded together? Hunting? Selling a brand? Politics? There pattern is worth exploring along with consequences of their relationships.
Sarah Palin explained why she had to take 6 shots. Her Dad Chuck fell with the gun and threw off the scope. It may be true but who doesn't check their gun after that? You don't fire 6 shots before realizing something is wrong. She could have wounded the animal. Then he would have suffered if he ran off. If you hunt you go for a clean shot. I don't hunt but my ex did.

As far as I can tell Sarah always says the opposite of the truth, which is called a LIE, and it is both hateful and disrespectful. She shows just about as much hate and disrespect to Obama as anyone could possibly show.
hmmm, an interesting CNN poll about the Tucson shooting.
ReplyDeletehttp://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2011/images/01/17/rel1b.pdf
The far-right(including Faux News) are bragging about some Media Curves poll that says a majority believes that $arah Palin is more "believable" and "sincere" after she released her "Don't Blame Me" video last week. They think this is proof that she isn't finished.
ReplyDeleteThe far-right has been ignoring the second question that was asked in the Media Curves poll. The second question asked voters if they would support $arah Palin for president in 2012. 56% of republicans said "Yes," (of, course) while 88% of democrats said "No," (of, course). But a whopping 71% of independent voters said "No," too. The Palin-bots are grasping at straws. Just because someone may think you are "sincere" doesn't mean they want you to be president. That's why the far-right has been leaving out that part of the poll. The truth, it burns:
http://mediacurves.com/Politics/SarahPalinonTucson/Index.cfm
Palin only spent about one minute talking about the victims of the shootings in her video. The rest of the video was all about her. I do "believe" $arah Palin is "sincere" in believing that she is the real victim.
The Right is trying their best to protect Palin by releasing all these stupid, meaningless polls. A new CNN poll came out today, that says the public is "split" on whether Palin's cross-hair map is to blame for the shootings. 48% said she is to blame, 49% said she isn't to blame. The poll has a 3% margin of error, which means the poll results could actually be the other way around. Either way, if the public is split, that is bad.
$arah Palin has not been vindicated. I also disagree with any right-wing asshole, saying that Barack Obama should speak out, and tell people to "Leave $arah Palin alooooone!" When are $arah Palin, Rush limbaugh, and Glenn Beck going to tell the far-right to leave Barack Obama alone? Never.
I don't feel sorry for Palin. She can dish it, but she can't take it.
Aaron Sorkin wrote an article in Huffingston Post about Palin awhile back. Robin Roberts brought it up in her interview. Sorkin can't stand Palin. I imagine that's where the elite comment came from.

Here we are again, going to spend another week or so on this woman's lies and delusions after her interview with hannity. And then we will be dissecting her speech in front of the gun convention. Just when I thought she would fall out of the limelight, she somehow finds a way to insert herself back onto the front page. Thankfully it is all negative, but nonetheless, very, very, old. I love the fact that she is incapable of self-reflection and of course, the ultimate cause of her fall, but hollyshit, how much humiliation can a human endure?????? Apparently she is made of something else. I am finding it exhausting, personally. If any quality of hers would be worth applauding, blind endurance would be the only one.
ReplyDeleteLook, this is pretty safe for Palin.She'll be preaching to the choir. I really don't care.
ReplyDeleteAs long as she's going to be taken down in the next month. I could care less what kind of crap she spews or how much she gets paid for it.

ReplyDelete7:30 A.M.,
ReplyDeleteAccording to $arah Palin her words don't incite violence, but it's the words of everyone else that does. Which one is it? Do words not incite violence, or do they?
Guns do not pick themselves up, load themsleves with bullets, point themselves at people, and fire by themselves. Nice try. If this Jared Laughner guy was angry with Gabrielle Giffords, he could have always sent her a sternly worded letter.
But intead, he decided to excercise second amendment rememdies, take up arms, and instead of retreating behind a sternly worded letter, he decided to re-load.
If Sarah had decent advisors -- or if she listened to them -- she'd go on Hannity tonight and apologize for the gunsight ad. She'd be respectful and contrite and not spew any of her usual venom, but would join the president in asking for a change in the rhetoric. Then, she'd donate her speaking fee from the LV event to the victims of the shooting. But she won't do that. Instead, we'll see her usual behaviors.
ReplyDeleteAnon 7:30: you are dumb. Fuck you. And go back and hang out with your other white supremacist KKK friends, form your own country full of other nut jobs, and get the hell out of my country, the USA, who happens to have an intelligent, calm and caring president who is doing his best. The majority of Americans, you know the intelligent ones, don't buy your racist crap. Maybe you fringe nuts really should leave so the rest if us can have peace and work together in a positive way to improve our economy and provide health care for all.
ReplyDeleteIt will be most interesting to see what tone she elects to use. If it is flirty-winky gee-whiz word salad, she will look very bad. If it is teary-eyed, jaw-jutting "poor me" she will look bad. I will be surprised if she finds a way to do the talk without looking bad.
ReplyDelete@8:08 A.M.,
ReplyDeleteExactly. There are lots of times where people have gotten into heated arguments, and someone has pulled a gun on someone and shot them.
I can't believe that stupid bitch has the gall to talk about Martin Luther King! She is such a sick narcissist, she will probably compare herself to him! We know she believes she is chosen by God to lead this country.
ReplyDeleteOh yea, there's a lot of ammunition against her from 2012 from HER OWN WORDS. Delusional Sarah is just going to be shocked when America gives her the finger and tells her, AGAIN, that she is not wanted in higher office.
Here's the thing. This gun group wants to get maximum publicity for their event. The best way is to invite Her Lowness, Miz Sarah. Attendance and ticket buying goes through the roof because the mostly male crowd gets off on seeing a good looking lady shooting a gun. They don't care if she is clueless about how to use a gun or that the whole scenario was phony. It's gun porn, plain and simple. A big crowd pleaser.
ReplyDeleteI think it's conflating in the grossest extreme to compare hunting to what happened in Tuscon. Nothing alike.
ReplyDeleteHowever, it does surprise me that Sarah would want to come into contact with actual hunters after she showed she really isn't the hunter she's made herself out to be.
Dirk's comment warms my heart!
ReplyDelete"Hey, Palin kool-aid drinker @ 8:27 a.m., who probably believes "death panels" actually exist in the healthcare law:"
ReplyDelete$arah "death panels" Palin is not telling the truth about Barack Obama, when she makes up lies about "death panels," and numerous other lies of hers that have already been debunked.
I guess you forgot $arah Palin won "Liar of the Year" in 2009, for her "death panel" lie.
$arah Palin doesn't have to say that she hates Barack Obama. She shows hatred against him everytime she opens her mouth, and spreads her lies and bullshit, and tells her rabid base that he is a terrorist, and and enemy of America, that is "hellbent" on destroying the country. She encourages people to hate the President, by telling them, that he is their enemy, and is going to get them.
Why would this woman spread such hateful lies against Barack Obama, if she didn't want him hurt in some way? It's Palin who needs to be called out on her lies.
P.S., Fuck you.
Safari Club will love Sarah. They engage in guided hunts all over the world, targeting "trophy" species whose heads they will hang on their wall.
ReplyDeleteThese trips are guided, expensive, and generally consist of someone else doing the heavy lifting, whilst the wealthy "hunter" merely pulls the trigger.
I bet this group would be just fine having Chuck Heath reload their rifles, because that's the way these people roll.
Sure, they are into preservation of wildlife; of course they are, so there's more for them to slaughter and more heads for the wall!
Remember, no one eats Lions or Leopards or any of the other Big Cats. There is a link on their website to purchase an "honor the hunt" plaque; the plaque they use as an example contains a photo of some dude posing with his dead Leopard; a Leopard for God sake! Not sure what part of "honoring the hunt" pertains to shooting a Leopard that one is not going to eat...there doesn't seem to be much honor in murdering a rare big cat.
Yep, these are bad people, and even worse hunters, Sarah will fit in very well there. Perhaps someone will give her some Rare Tiger Meat for her freezer so she and the fam will have enough food to last until spring!
To Anonymous @ 7:30 a.m. You said
ReplyDelete"What does giving a speech have to do with anything?"
Making a speech before a group of hunters at this particular time shows a lack of sensitivity and class - especially after being so closely tied in with the Tucson tragedy. Bad decision on her part but then bad decisions are her pattern.
"It's not the gun that kills, it's the person."
Not necessarily. Had it been a single shot weapon or say a cross-bow or a six-shooter, couldn't have done as much damage.
"Under your logic, spoons make people fat, pencils misspell words, and cars drive drunk".
I've poured over hundreds and hundreds of records of people back in the old-days and never once saw that anybody was charged with "Riding (a horse) while drunk". The two guys arrested last week while drunk on horses may be a first. If somebody was drunk on a horse or while driving a wagon or buggy they couldn't cause the damage that driving a car while drunk does. Granted we can't get rid of cars, the fault lies with the drunk behind the wheel BUT having 30-shell clips is STUPID. I don't know anybody who hunts with a Glock.
"If all guns evaporated tomorrow, people would still die."
Your arguments are silly. Sort of like Palin bringing up duelling. Guarantee you that if a semi-automatic was a choice of weapon for anybody in a duel, it wouldn't have been a popular way to settle questions of "honor" since both parties as well as their seconds would have died.

Please, someone buy Anon @8:41 AM a hearing aid and those glasses the foxy Fox guest Rachel Welch is selling.
ReplyDeletePalin has exhibited paranoia, aggression, an inability to express herself clearly, exactly some of the same traits everyone agrees marked Loughner as a troubled, mentally unbalanced individual even before the horrific events in Tucson. It doesn't matter if Loughner was influenced by people like Palin. It matters that Palin is refusing to tone down her rhetoric or question her message when it parallels that of a violent, unhinged gunman.
ReplyDeleteShe's there comic relief. Real hunters have her number. They will make fun of her and she is too frickin stooopid to realize it. And, she doesn't care. It's money, right? She has no self esteem, that is Quite obvious.
ReplyDelete"If all guns evaporated tomorrow, people would still die."
ReplyDeleteYes, but how many gangs would commit a
drive-by rock throwing? Or a drive-by stabbing?
Can a person in a tower kill people by chucking bricks? Yes, but eventually folks would stay
out of throwing range.
Guns make killing EASY. They are fast & you
don't have to interact with your victims, look
in their eyes, hear them beg, etc. It is over and
done with. They go in, mow down a crowd, and
no one has a chance. A knife wielding spree-killer
in a crowd? That is a braver person than a
guy with a gun.
Serial killers like the up-close & personal
killing, but snipers don't. Gangs don't. Political
assassins don't. Society would be better off
if guns were taken away. But cowards won't
live without their guns.
9:44 AM One thing we can all agree with is that Ted Nugent is the consummate hunter and does more to promote the sport and the put food on the table meme than most. You tell me, why was he suddenly doing 360 with Anderson Cooper? He was a gentleman and civil to Roseanne Barr. He knows how to be effective with media. He'll be back to let people know what he supports or to promote.
ReplyDeleteHer Dad Chuck fell with the gun and threw off the scope.
Chuck handled the gun for her because he doesn't trust her and is the kink of hunter that when on a $40,000 safari won't let a bad scope stop Sarah. Between Chuck and Levi her hunting ruse should be up. It is not. Sarah Pac will keep it going and they have the media to go along with them. I am curious to know if the broken scope had anything to do with why Ted Nugent can no longer support Palin as a Presidential candidate. Would he hunt like Sarah, with an off balance scope?
The people who are not hunters or familiar with the hunting world look to the leaders, THAT IS Dick Cheney, Ted Nugent and now Sarah Palin who represent all hunters and hunting. Their leadership does matter for how hunting is perceived. Most people do not read hunting blogs or even know they exist. They are more likely to watch CNN, Fox or MSNBC. Radio reaches more people.
Who knows about all the organizations like Safari Club International and their leaders? They will now be better known as the gang that shoots with the broken scope lady.
I don't care if Safari Club International is out to promote themselves as hunters like Palin. I just wish they could deal with facts and speak up. The same goes for Ted Nugent. Dick Cheney has no heart beat and gets a pass on the scope problem.
Shout out to Dirk Diggler @ 10:09 am
ReplyDeleteI do believe you are giving us a little hint that she will be unable to attend that event.
Hope she is in lock-up somewhere without a TV.
Re AKPetMom: -- Thoughtful post! Trophy
ReplyDeletehunting is an absolute disgrace. I live in an
area with a lot of coyotes & hunters come from
all around, just for the pure love of killing,
because they don't/won't/can't eat them. It
is just fun to kill things, apparently.
"I've got $1,000 that says she won't be at that convention. Any takers?"
ReplyDeleteYou gladden the hearts of the weary.
Haven't they figured out that she is NOT a hunter and never has been? And, she doesn't know about guns, which was very apparent in her Alaska shoutout.
ReplyDeleteThe true Alaskan women think she is a joke!
No, I can honestly say I don't HATE $P. If we met on a street or stood next to each other getting a coffee - I'd introduce my "real" self and say hi.
ReplyDeleteTo me, what is hateful is Palin's demeaning of those who don't agree with her. We have hopes & dreams, want a decent life and productive job. 99.9% love our parents and our children, tho not at the same time. We're different in colors, education, religions, sizes, languages and backgrounds. We live across this country from towering mountains to beaches, in one-horse towns to huge cities. But we are ALL real Americans.
Because I am NOT the same by having a different belief, or different color, or choose to love differently does NOT make me LESS human or American.
Palin plays/uses the differences - Real Americans - those who follow "the deserving" vs Unamerican Liberals - who disagree with her are dismissed as unworthy period. Once in the box as "dismissed" - she refuses to acknowledge us or hear us.
To be honest, Sarah could learn a lot from us because we also feel "our government" doesn't hear our voices or concerns. It is one thing to be disenfranchised by the government - it is another to be snubbed by a candidate expecting my vote.
10:24 That's why I look forward to the Rapture. Take the xtians away and leave the rest of us (including those who really try to live by the words of Christ) to live in peace.
ReplyDelete@ 9:45
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what I thought. Why in the world would experience hunters, who knew there was a problem with the weapon, even fire one shot without making the necessary corrections? Makes no sense whatsoever.
I'm surprised that the TLC film makers wouldn't have warned Sarah how ridiculous that excuse would sound to the viewer. Strange.
SOME OF YOU ARE SO SMARTASSY in your cutesy attempts to put down those of us who are responsible weapons owners but be aware, in doing your adolescent jibes you are creating a Karma for yourself for when you will wish to hell you had some kind of weapon to defend yourself and/or family. I have experienced successfully defending me and mine on several occasions. I feel very sad for people who "HATE" inanimate objects or fear them. Two unhealthy emotions one would do well to face,conquer and be rid of.
ReplyDeletea gun = a pencil = a spoon?
ReplyDeleteThe gun doesn't kill, a person kills?
"If all guns evaporated tomorrow, people would still die."
I've heard this nonsense before:
"you can be killed just as dead with a knife as a gun."
Ummm... not from across the room.
Or a parking lot.
Also; neither a spoon, nor a pencil, nor a knife accepts a clip that holds 31 bullets.
'Palin has exhibited paranoia, aggression, an inability to express herself clearly,' 11:23 AM
ReplyDeleteIt is painful that the media is chiding us all to do something about those with indicators of mental illness. At the same time we are to ignore the most obvious. Our legislators will spend money and time going over this to find the indicators and do something meme. Granted that should be part of it.
All the while the madness is staring us in the face and no one can learn this lesson from Loughner's crazy massacre. We see someone else who needs attention, an intervention, anything along those lines. Palin, another type of Loughner, is ignored. What does the media do? Legislators will take forever and do little.
Loughner could not see that he needed a mental health evaluation. Everyone's hands were tied. Palin is too far gone to tone down her rhetoric or question her message when it parallels that of a violent, unhinged gunman. The best her cult can do is to have the slightest respite from the course she is on and maybe fake a little sorrow or humility. They do have some concept that they need to make public relation improvements.
AKPetMom I am always glad to read your input. I know nothing about the safari club and about the same of hunting. I did read about the time the old VP shot his friend in the face.
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Still learning about famous hunters, their clubs and media smarts. I hope there is more on this subject whether she goes to talk or not.
1:02 says "those of us who are responsible weapons owners but be aware"
ReplyDeleteAre you FOR or AGAINST automatic weapons being available to crazy people? Unless you are AGAINST and actively working to get effective legislation, then you are
NOT
responsible. You are part of the problem.
BTW, write a letter to the parents of Christina Taylor Green about how you protect YOUR family. They need to hear all about what they did wrong.

There is no such thing as karma--if there was, a
9 year old girl would still be alive, and Saint
Sarah would, well, you know....
"Under your logic, spoons make people fat, pencils misspell words, and cars drive drunk."
ReplyDeleteI keep seeing this everywhere, and talk about logical fallacy. There is really no comparison between guns versus spoons and pencils, which have extremely limited capacity to do damage to anyone. And legally driving a car requires training and a test to obtain a license. Drive drunk, and that license can be taken away. Anyone ever lose a gun license for shooting while drunk?
I don't believe in total gun restriction, but I do believe that to own a gun, you should have training and pass a safety test.
"those of us who are responsible weapons owners but be aware"
ReplyDeleteThat person is entitled to an opinion but that whole diatribe sounds to close to threatening.
A person thinking they are a responsible weapons owner is not the same as actually being a responsible weapons owner. If they aren't going to say what they mean by karma, what's the point? I've never lived in a place where I repeatedly need to defend with a gun. Does that mean if people just ramble on I would get what they are trying to say?

ReplyDeleteShe's REALLY appearing on the same stage as Larry the cable guy? Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
I agree, I didn't know Larry the Cable Guys career had gone downhill that much that he had to share the bill as Palin.
:-)
I have avoided watching this "hunting"clip until now, and I only watched part of it this time. A couple things stood out. Somebody (Chuckles?) didn't want to talk too loud, so he didn't scare the animal. But shooting 14 times doesn't scare it away? I agree with the commenters who said it must have been tethered. It kept running back and forth, like a dog on a chain does, not just AWAY,like an animal that was being shot at would do. I cannot wait til somebody who worked on that crap sandwich of a show grows a set and exposes all the staging and bullshit that went into that thing. And did I read that yet again the phrase "sit down and shut up" came out of the she-devil's mouth? There's a story behind that. There has to be. I think It had a very weird childhood. And I think Chuckles was the reason. There seem to be more outsiders than usual dropping in to defend It. I can only surmise that someone is getting very nervous about this site and what might happen here. Oh goody. I just hope that when she finally loses it completely that there's a camera running. And I don't mean a FOX camera.

ReplyDeleteDid you learn how to make analogies from THE SARAH PALIN SCHOOL OF RATIONAL BULSHIT OR BLUBBERING BECKSTERS INTERNET SCHOOL FOR THE INTELLECTUALLY DEPRIVED?
BTW, Are you still masterbating in busses or did you go back to FLASHING little kids?
APPLES AND ORANGES? There IS a difference!
I would just about bet money that you claim to be a christian even though you have not read THE BOOK!
That letter thingy is something a teabagger like you would do so go find someone else to piss on and blame for your own cowardly feelings about yourself. I do not accept other people's (YOUR) ignorant rants trying to transfer (YOUR) feelings of inadequacy and helplessnes to me. It is called transference, a psychiatric term. Look it up!

ReplyDeleteSuggest you get to online dictionary
http://www.merriam-webster.com/
and learn the meaning of diatribe, Karma, Poetic Justice, responsible as well as Articulate, expressed, formulated, clarity and effectiveness.
Using words beyond your comprehension only makes your attempted verbage a rambling incomprehensable word salad worthy of Sarah Palin.
The rest of your incoherent ramblings make no more sense than one of the Moose Mama's tirades.
If you knew the meanings of the words you attempted to use you would have known that! Now make a threat out of that you pathetic moron and go screeching rape or stalker like Slimey Sarah does when caught being stupid.
P.S. That "rapture" reference only proves that you are more brainwashed and stupid than I thought.

That statement is as ignorant as saying that if GW Bush were dead, the thousands of children he killed in Iraq would come back to life today. That is not the way it works. Try educating yourself. Broaden your reading list. (if you have one)
Too bad no one ever explained to you that there is a difference between apples and oranges.
AS FOR KARMA, you obviously have no more understanding of it than you do of oranges and apples.
