Former vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin spoke at a military appreciation rally in Lakewood Monday evening.
Palin took the stage and thanked the members of the crowd for their service.
“Freedom is not free but a god given right” said Palin. “I thank you for being part of the solution.”
She then addressed the death of Osama bin Laden, who was killed by US forces.
“One of the evil leaders of the Islamic extremists..has met justice at the hands of America’s finest.” She said. “We thank our president, we thank President Bush.”
You know just because you refuse to acknowledge it, does NOT mean Obama is not our President.
He IS the President, he DID orchestrate the death of Osama Bin Laden, and he did it after George Bush FAILED to do that very thing for over seven years!
Palin also mentioned that America’s war on terror is still not over.
“Those who would kill in the name of religion must be sought,” added Palin.
Might I suggest that you start by looking in the mirror you hypocritical moron.
By the way Sarah, our President has a special message for you and your fellow Republican Presidential hopefuls.
And by the way, just so you know, if YOU are the GOP candidate in 2012, your party is going to need a hell of a lot more than just luck. Believe it.
Update: For those who are still arguing that Palin WAS magnanimous toward President Obama, perhaps you missed this little gem form her speech, which comes to us courtesy of Politico:
No the facts are that this know nothing half term governor/reality show celebrity demonstrated a complete lack of patriotism by going on the attack against her President when the entire country is celebrating our victory against a madman.
The other Republicans, including Dick Cheney and George Bush, were able to recognize Obama's achievement, and to give him praise. But Palin is completely unwilling to recognize ANYTHING positive coming from this administration.
She is, as she always has been, a spiteful little bitch who cannot get over being beaten by this black man, and therefore compelled to attack him at every opportunity.
But this tactic of hers is simply pushing her deeper into the shadows of irrelevancy.
The small crowd didn’t even completely fill the bleachers. And though the event was ostensibly a celebration of the troops, it felt more like a B-list conservative gathering – replete with booths for little-recognized social conservative groups, iconic imagery of Ronald Reagan, and of course dozens of copies of Palin’s two books. One of the small university’s music instructors had prepared an original trumpet composition to commemorate Palin’s visit. And the National Anthem was sung by what could have been a barbershop quartet were it not for the odd variances in octave.
The other painfully noticeable aspect of the crowd was the advanced age of the attendees, especially given that Palin was speaking on a college campus.
This is the ultimate reward for the likes of Sarah Palin.
Soon only a handful of curiosity seekers will bother to show up to one of her appearances. And then only to make snarky remarks, and to point and laugh at the angry little old woman who once imagined herself to be a Queen.
The article you quoted used the word "and" between her two statement. That would mean that she thanked TWO people, not just one: "Yesterday was a testament to the military's dedication in relentlessly hunting down an enemy through many years of war, and we thank our President and we thank President Bush for having made the right calls to set up this victory," she said to the crowd.
ReplyDeleteSurely the members listening to this bile had to think she is unstable? It was a shock she did not invoke Saint Ronnie into this. By her memories, then she must still be mayor of Wasilla?
ReplyDeleteGryphen,
ReplyDeletePlease post the video from 2002, six months after 9/11, when President Bush said he didn't know where bin Laden was, didn't care, and didn't think about him. Everyone seems to have forgotten about that. Bush deserves no credit. In the video, George looked like a nervous imbecile, rocking back and forth. What an arrogant prick he was, the only kind of leaders the Republicans can produce.
She's just not going to acknowledge Obama in this capture of bin laden. It only makes her look petty and small so fuck her!
ReplyDeleteJust thought I would share the pic I made of Sarah Palin.
ReplyDeleteI call it "Queen of the Flying Monkeys"
http://twitpic.com/4srate/full
Sbe is so fucking retarded and delusional.
ReplyDeleteSarah you vile snowbilly, what Bush is responsible for is enabling Bin Laden to achieve his Jihadist goals and take center stage with world terror in the first place.
ReplyDeleteAnd don't forget to send your kudos to puppetmaster Darth Cheney.
Frankly, I'm surprised she didn't thank Ronald Reagan.
ReplyDeleteNothing presidential here, not even ambassadorial, not even the Court of St. James. Imagine getting the Royals pissed at us for serving Costco farmed salmon.
ReplyDeleteThis is just the ramblings of a mean-mouth sore loser with a giant sense of entitlement.
Come to think of it in these grim times common folk like me need circuses. Maybe a Palin-Trump ticket. She would have to sleep with one eye open.
Uneasy likes the head with a bumpit!
ReplyDeleteThere's that tongue again.
ReplyDeleteWhat a stupid bitch.
ReplyDeleteI read this quote from her lat night and I was just stunned. She and the rest of the GOP cannot believe that their entire 2012 platform has been demolished by a man, a black man no less, who is not only smarter than they are (I doubt their combined IQ equals his!) but has more courage, more humanity, and is a better Christian than any of them. He also understands that patience is a virtue. That other religions matter. That people matter more than money. You have my vote, sir! And Sarah, maybe you could go back to school. You don't seem to be able to think clearly. You can't speak, and you don't write very well. Maybe Piper's 5th grade would take you. Also, too, how about a parenting class? The only things you are good at, shrieking and lying, will soon cease to be making you $100,000 for 15 minutes. Very soon. Plan ahead.
ReplyDeleteI think she was thanking Obama AND Bush...
ReplyDeleteI mean, I don't like her, but lets focus on when she does stupid stuff. "Freedom is not free but a God given right" is way dumber.
Palin is toast, she finished behind Ron Paul in the Townhall.com poll.
ReplyDeleteShe's so marginalized now that RAM has to beg blogs to cover her word salad bloviation
Even my Dad, who's voted Repub for 60 years, can't stand her. He said he'll just stay home rather than vote for Palin. Romney is as far right as he'll go.
Palin, if you are reading this post, can you just give Obama credit for sticking his neck out and authorizing a very risky OP in Pakistan, and pulling it off?
No, of course you can't, you are a craven creature of christian callousness
The article says:
ReplyDelete"The Tribute to the Troops" event raised $40,000 for survivors of fallen soldiers.
------------
Was that before or after they deducted her $100,000 speaking fee ??
Anybody that would pay a dime to have this dimwit speak at their event should have their head examined.
The woman is a shameless, sociopath to the core. That's painfully obvious to anyone who can walk and chew gum at the same time.
ReplyDeleteThe problem is, as the Queen of the Tealiban, she has made it her life's mission to NEVER say a kind word about Obama. Remember way back to 2008 when she thrust her poor, pregnant daughter into the spotlight to deflect from her own questionable pregnancy? Obama came out and very kindly said to the press (I'm paraphrasing) 'This topic off limits. (Bristol's teen pregnancy) My own mother was a teen mom and family issues have no place in the political arena.' Did The Witch from Wasilla thank Obama for his kind words? (Which he didn't even have to say in the first place?) Hell to the no. She went all pittbull on him and said sarcastically that the press bows down to him as "he who should be obeyed." She couldn't even say something halfway nice when he came to her fucking defense! (Sorry, if that's impolite, but she totally exasperates me!)
She's has been on a two year mission of hate since then. She will NEVER give the President (Obama not Bush!) credit where it is do. It's simply not in her DNA. And she's not alone in her right wing fantasy world. I unfortunately know rightwingers who are giving credit to Bush, Reagan, the military, Gitmo, torture, etc. ANYTHING or ANYONE other than Obama.
They are a delusional group of like minded lock steppers.
Love the President Bush remark. Think she'll get a lot of flack over that? She's just sealing her fate.
ReplyDelete“Freedom is not free but a god given right” said Palin.
Huh? Someone please translate?
Maybe, just maybe, Mrs. Ringo (as in oops, where did my ring go?) Palin is mad because jokes were told about her at the correspondents' dinner without mentioning her name, therefore she can't name the standing Potus. Bawahh, bawahh.
ReplyDeleteThen again, she is not that smart. If she was, she wouldn't have gone to five schools to supposedly get a BA.
Hey Ringo, why don't you show us some of your college papers so that we know what you were thinking about back then?
Have a CRAZY day.
She's not in denial. She KNOWS who the MAN is! What she is, is just a lousy, twisted, sick, low/down, dirty, piece of trash. Now, how did the audience respond? If they didn't boo.. than they are just as much a part of the problem.
ReplyDeleteNow, as the rest of us advance, I say to Paylin.. What? more noise from the peanut gallery/back seat driver?
As for your daughter? She's been blinded by the light. She want's to go Hollywood. She's modeling herself after Kim Kardashian, and the like. I predict nothing but heart ache and pain coming her way.
Hey Sarah,it is a BIG world after all, no place for a small mind.
ReplyDeleteCondoleeza Rice is on the Today Show this morning, and she just said (pay attention $arah) the mission to kill Osama Bin Laden was "accomplished through TWO presidencies." The Bush administration has no problem giving Obama his due credit.
ReplyDeleteNow, what would be the psychological motivator to not even name our president when he accomplishes the most notable defense action in a decade? What would be driving a resistance to crediting this man with something so basically obvious? It's not just politics, people. It's part of a concerted effort to paint Barack Obama as less than an American, less than a man. And we know what's behind that.
ReplyDeleteTypical mean girl, no class Sarah.
ReplyDelete$arah Palin wants to be a star. She couldn't get the movie roles, or the singing gigs, so she took a short cut.. POLIITICS! The very people that she vilifies, she's all up in their asses, attending their parties!
ReplyDeletePaylin and her ghoulish looking daughter will only get offered work on the chitlin circuit. Basically, this is currently the case.
I hate be ugly, but this Palin.. I wouldn't be surprised if Bristol goes porn.
Part of me wants to think she meant the president AND President Bush. However that is not what she said.
ReplyDeleteWell, technically, Bush still gets to keep the "President" in front of his name, so I really think she said "We thank our President (Can not bring myself to say Obama!), We thank President Bush. I have much scorn for her, but I do believe this is what she was able to get out of her mouth.
ReplyDeletePoor dumb Sarah, just stuck in high school stupid forever and poor loser Bekki face-plugging for Sarah for hours.
ReplyDeleteThese two deserve each other and should get married. Both went to college, both are uneducated and have no clues about anything and neither has any class.
Also noticed that Sarah is having tongue problems yet again.
First of all, her statement,“Freedom is not free but a god given right” is nonsensical word salad. If sarah knew what she was saying, she might have come up with, freedom, while a God-given right, is not free. When the dope tries for smarts, she always misses. That must have been her own contribution to the speech. It shows.
ReplyDeleteSecond, I don't believe she is thanking "our president," Barack Obama, at all. Her reference to "our president" is also to Bush. When you read that sentence carefully and in the context of her hatred, jealousy, and resentment, it is clear.
NOCD, as my mother would say:
ReplyDeleteNot Our Class, Darling.
Consciously done or not, it was poor form to say Bush's name and not Obama's, particularly considering the circumstances.
ReplyDeleteI am sure she is just seething with bitterness that President Obama and his administration accomplished something that Bush's did not (imo, they didn't want to accomplish it; too many cozy ties to high ranking Saudis and too important to have a bogeyman out there to justify their wars for profit).
The GOP simply aren't going to be able to claim, or insinuate, that the Dems can't handle national security issues like they can. I mean they will probably try to avoid the topic altogether, because what can they say after this?
When Sarah will finally figure out that no one really cares what she has to say about anything, well, I have no idea!
Let's be honest, we all know conservatives would rather bin Laden had gone forever undetected than caught by Obama. Their sour grapes is quite a revolting display to behold. Just when you think these scumbags can't get any scummier.
ReplyDeleteGood one, Hannah! LOL!
ReplyDeletePalin said “We thank our president, we thank President Bush.” There is no "and."
ReplyDeleteIf you doubt that click the link provided and listen to the video that the folks at KWGN have embedded.
Now Palin may have started off trying to thank Obama. But since she cannot bring herself to say his name in a positive manner, she quickly rushed through her remarks, putting the emphases on her thanks to George Bush.
Which certainly makes it sound as if he is the ONLY President she is thanking, when in fact he deserves virtually no thanks for this achievement.
“Freedom is not free but a god given right” said Palin.
ReplyDeleteFreedom to me is not having to deal with people forcing their religion on me. I do not trust Christian fascists any more than I trust Islamic fascists.
My question for conservatives is: Freedom for whom to do what?
Coming from someone who cannot eat a meal without getting food all over herself, channels Minnie Mouse in her selection of shoe attire, is too lazy to apply tanning creme correctly and cannot even comb her own hair so must rely on atrocious hairpieces, is it any wonder that she has become our national joke?
ReplyDeleteBTW, she left her "pro-life" prop home so could not blame major food spill on Trig...unless she wore the jacket before and was too cheap/lazy to go to the dry cleaners.
Condi Rice's self-serving "generosity" to Obama is bunk. Getting OBL was accomplished by the Obama presidency alone, in spite of the Bush Administration. Bush shut down the intelligence ops, stopped looking for OBL, and abandoned Afghanistan.
ReplyDeleteShe thanked both men.
ReplyDeleteI think the bitch is whacked on crystal meth.That's the only reason I can think of that makes any sense for that tongue action.Normal people don't do that.She's gotta be on something besides stupid.
ReplyDeleteSarah Palin is irrevelant and her power gone. Thanks to you, Gryphen, and the many more bloggers dedicated to exposing the lie that is Sarah Palin. She has, in fact, been exposed. I know this because my gut tells me so. By that I mean that I no longer feel a visceral hate when hearing her name or seeing her face. She is a non-factor. She is a sideshow. I will, however, continue to follow her undoing with relish:). Bye Bye Sarah.
ReplyDelete@3:18...............LOL!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGryphen said...Palin may have started off trying to thank Obama. But since she cannot bring herself to say his name in a positive manner,
ReplyDeleteI agree. After getting criticism for thanking everyone but Pres. Obama, she meant to include him this time without actually saying his name. She screwed up. Again.
It sounds to me like she did thank the president, but only grudgingly, and without saying his name (It must be written into the Fox contract that you must never say, "President Obama" because that would convey respect,of course). And then, gratuitously, she had to throw in " thank President Bush" which actually makes no sense.
ReplyDeleteThe posters of a smiling Obama are clever, but noone should think the Democrats now have 2012 sewn up. Bush Sr. was riding high after Desert Storm and still lost the following year mostly because of the economy.
ReplyDeletewhether or not sarah meant the real potus or not by saying we thank "the president", she left it very unclear (surprised?) by not inserting an "and": we thank our president, we thank president bush. the article says there is an "and", but if you listen to the audio, there isn't one. i am surprised that anyone could be so begrudging, even sarah, on such a momentous occasion. it really shows how more deeply divided this country has become since 9/11 that she is not the only politician or private citizen to openly express these views. we came together on that day nearly 10 years ago and it made me proud. since then, the gop politicians have used 9/11 to divide and conquer the country, painting democrats wrongfully as weak on defense, and even suggesting that a democratic prez would only encourage our enemies. 9/11 fetishism disgusts me beyond belief, and yet some of the same eejits with the stickers of obl with a target on his face on their big pick-up trucks can't bring themselves to admit that potus provided the true leadership to get the job done for us, finally.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that Condi Rice is being trotted out to essentially demand Bush administration credit for this thing is just pathetic!
ReplyDeleteThey let him go. They did not pursue him. They did not care if they caught him, ever.
They diverted resources and attention away from Afghanistan and onto a Bush family vendetta/oil control war, rather than go after Osama bin Laden in any meaningful way.
Never mind all that; they will stoop as low as they have to go in their quest for political power. Always have and always will.
I'm sure our wonderful President Obama will be just fine not having his name come from this snake's, herpes-riddled mouth.
ReplyDeleteLet her twist in the wind. She's driving no one crazy but herself.
(Loved the 'chitlin circuit' reference someone made earlier. That perfectly describes the types of venues this idiot is playing. I will never understand the decisions these groups make to pay her thousands of dollars when that money would be better served going to the causes they purport to support.)
@3:53 Anonymous who said:

------------

Excellent point. This is exactly the type of thing that the Republicans exploit, it's what they understand:
"Palin makes more than twice the take of the troops at a Tribute To The Troops event"
Right now noone is begrudging her speaking fees as long as she doesn't run. If she runs, expect to see her battered by this by the other Repub nominees
As others (including the first commenter) have pointed out, you didn't quote her accurately. The original story at the link provided does include the word "and," which means that she did thank the current President. She couldn't bring herself to speak his name in that sentence, which is small and petty. But let's not fall into the habit of selective editing to make someone look worse than they already are. That's their thing.
ReplyDeleteStop calling her a reality show star. That was a fantasy show.
ReplyDeleteRight on, 5:31 am. Bush was not the least interested in catching Osama bin Laden after about 9/13. His focus was 100% on Iraq and oil. 9/11 provided the cover. His bizarre remarks in 2002 about not being very interested in bin Laden should have been pursued by our "liberal" media but no one ever brought it up. And if, in fact, Osama bin Laden had been living in that location since 2005 or 2006, then Bush had two years or more to take him and failed to do so.
ReplyDeleteThis weekend's events in Pakistan were accomplished by the Obama administration and only by the Obama administration. It took talent, skill, precision and intelligence to pull the attack off.
Sarah Palin must be foaming at the mouth right now. First she was not invited to the beautiful royal wedding and Piper was not a bridesmaid, then she was deliberately ignored at the White House Correspondents' dinner, then she really messed up at the parties she attended, and then the news broke about the attack on Osama bin Laden's compound. Take a deep breath, Sarah, your foreign policy speech was the same word salad drivel you've been mouthing for years. Who cares, Sarah?
Just finished reading over at palingates and one of the comments (Guest) listed the events that Sarah gave within the last few days. Not many people at any of them, she no longer draws a crowd and it seems as if the events are going in the red to pay her now.
ReplyDeleteShe's AIP. She's anti-American...She is trying to weaken the USA! And she doesn't understand the US Constitution, which provides freedom to US citizens automatically--not through wars on foreign soil. She is so stupid that she can't figure out her correct shoe size!!
ReplyDeleteOf course her "small audience" was only aging racists. I lived in Denver for years & have never even heard of that stupid private school in Lakewood. Is it accredited? And by whom? Seriously, someone should look into that...and if it is, why can't Track, Bristol, or Willow go there?
As long as her mendacity equals a paycheck, she'll be out there talking bullshit.
ReplyDeleteJesse, this is a good article to read..

ReplyDeleteListen to her words!
Oh no, there's that "tongue action" that she loves to do once again.
ReplyDeleteGryphen, you should do a segment on just all her "tongue action" photos alone.
If not for nothing, it would at least give us a jolly good laugh to see all the silly $arah tongue wagging pics in one shot [pun intended.)
-GypsyGirl
Having just read the account of the year-long process leading up to this attack, I understand more than ever Obama's role as Commander In Chief, culminating in the final momentous decisions. All you have to do is see his face and Clinton's in the War Room as they watch the attack in real time. This is hard stuff. It is behavior Palin has never witnessed in her life, either in those around her or because she doesn't read, can't empathize, nor has the imagination to understand what being the President might mean. Pathologically delusional she is, and thank god, she's moving farther and farther from a public life into a nether zone of b-list celebrity irrelevance.
ReplyDeleteI think part of the reason that she cannot repeat Obama's name is that she may have been engaging in what many anti-Obama types have been doing for years - referring to the President as "Osama" or some other diminutive, and was afraid it would come out.
ReplyDeleteVarious anchors and talking heads have made this telling mistake in the past couple of days.
Anon 2:13, Former Pres. Bush said on Marach 13, 2002, he don't know where Bin Laden is and don't care.. check out the article I posted. He had an opportunity to killed Bin Laden in Dec of 2001 and didn't. He beginned to focus on Iraq in 2002. Why should he get any credit. Former Pres. Clinton's Admin. warned Bush about Bin Laden after he left office. Clinton also failed to get Bin Laden, he actually tried, he knew Bin was planning to attack us warned the Bush. Bush admin gave Clinton the middle finger and pushed it aside... than we had 9/11 event!!! Now who get credit!
ReplyDeletePetty Palin. That about sums her up.
ReplyDeleteIf this witch can still have the utter gall to call President Obama a community organizer (as if this was a BAD thing?) do we get to call her: An ex beauty queen contestant? A five college attendee? An ex high school hoop star? Or how about, a shotgun wedding bride?
ReplyDeleteOr perhaps we should go less farther back and call her the Mayor of Tinytown who left her city in debt? Or maybe we could call her the ex Governor who quit on her state to grift money from the teabagger crowd. How does ex reality star sound?
Or fox news blow hard?
What exactly qualifies HER to be in the White House? Is it her engaging wink? Her sharp tongue? Or her tight skirt? Maybe McCain didn't let the viagra wear off before vetting her for VP, but anyone who lives in the real world sees her for exactly who she is.
I'll take the "Community Organizer" (and Constitutional Lawyer, Harvard Law Review President, Senator, Nobel Peace Prize Winner and POTUS) over her ANY DAY of the year.
With all due respect, Sarah Palin wasn't beaten by a black man, she was not a candidate - she didn't earn her candidacy, she was picked from obscurity to shore up the religious right vote for the conservative ticket. A running mate does not earn their place on the ticket, they are favored by the one the electorate picked.
ReplyDeleteBut she sure did help that candidate lose in a most spectacular fashion. Remember your tears at your candidate's concession Sarah? You couldn't believe that you weren't so blessed to have God allow you to pass through that door to ruin millions, even billions of peoples lives as our nation's second in command?
She doesn't have the courage to run, she can't even field questions. You can't run for any office of the land from Fox News and Facebook.
Sarah Palin is the type of Ugly American that takes everything she exploits and abuses in life for granted - enrobed in the comfort of rights earned by feminists, unions, civil and disability advocates, it goes on and on what she dismisses as unimportant to an incurious philistine like her.
And to continue to take credit for being the only American politico to honor and respect our troops - well, she's never had to provide for them has she? She has never been a commander in chief - even with the spin that she was for Alaska's National Guard. Pathetic reach.
Sarah Palin, you aren't good enough to even BE a community organizer - you are simply a divider. Useless and horrible for American discourse.

ReplyDeleteHey folks, above is one of the best analysis of how to respond to TeaTHUGlicans like $carah. Have a blast with is, pissing them off. Use it at the family gathering, the local bar, the local newspaper. From now on, we don't need reasoned arguments (they never understood them anyway). And it just frustrated us, like Einstein trying to explain his theories to third graders. We now have three little words that they're sure to understand: Obama got Osama.

There is no comparison between Desert Storm and killing Bin Laden. He did what no one did, he got the bad guy. This will be something people will remember for a very long time, and yes, this will help Obama on to a second term.
Oh, and Obama got Osama. (Bush didn't)
anon@6:08am, there was no "and" in the phrase in which sarah thanked the president. the quote from the news story is wrong - watch the video instead, you can clearly hear that she didn't say "and". i often find that reporters try to correct sarah's bad grammar for her, but do they skew her meaning in doing so? it is very unclear in saying "we thank our president, we thank president bush," what exactly sarah meant. why would she not mention potus by name if she meant pres. barack obama? was it deliberately unclear, a deliberate slight on obama, or was it just bad grammar? the other evidence that g offers, that she attacked the prez with the trite community organizer jab, doesn't paint a very gracious picture of sarah that night. the remarks were prepared, so they were written that way deliberately - and most likely by becky since full sentences were generally used - and therefore a slight on the potus. it just brings sarah palin down further, not the potus. she is self-destructive and seemingly becoming more so.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous @5:32 AM said...
ReplyDeleteShe thanked both men.
So why can't she say President Obama's name? It's like she can't acknowledge him, because if she does, then he becomes the legitimate leader, and she can't have that.
President Obama himself could of jumped out of a Blackhawk helicopter on the back of a majestic stallion and rode into Bin Laden's compound and single handedly take Bin Laden down and people like Sarah Palin would never give him credit. People like Sarah would give praise to GW Bush and Ronnie Reagan. Why? Because people like Sarah wants to see Obama’s birth certificate, people like Sarah wants to see Obama’s grades in college, people like Sarah are true racists just can't handle it.
ReplyDeleteYes Sarah,
Sambo beat the Bitch and the bitch is you.... Get Over It Retard.... ha ha ha
"Condoleeza Rice is on the Today Show this morning, and she just said (pay attention $arah) the mission to kill Osama Bin Laden was "accomplished through TWO presidencies." The Bush administration has no problem giving Obama his due credit."
ReplyDeleteYeah right - except that BUSH GAVE UP. McCain and the reTHUGs wouldn't have gone into Pakistan without their knowledge, and hence bin Laden getting away.
Remember: Obama got Osama.
""The Tribute to the Troops" event raised $40,000 for survivors of fallen soldiers. $arah Palin made $100,000 at the same event."
ReplyDeleteFixed that for ya'.
However slightly better her comment was, it was not enough to show she has respect for the man holding the office of the president.
ReplyDeleteShe is a small, small person who must be eaten up with hatred inside.
Someone in the media needs to expose her speaking for charity paydays. The overnight creation of many these organizations that host her is worthy of investigation and the people purchasing tickets should know the truth about Palin making her $100K fee with only the remainder going to charity
"She is, as she always has been, a spiteful little bitch who cannot get over being beaten by this black man, and therefore compelled to attack him at every opportunity."
ReplyDeletePalin's lack of acknowledgement for the Obama (when even Darth Cheney and Giuliani were candidly magnanimous) was the first thing I noticed. If memory serves, both McCain and Obama made unilateral intervention to capture or kill UBL a campaign platform and a promise. If McCain were the CIC right now, she'd be giving his wrinkled old anus a tongue bath today.
What a sorry, pathetic, bitter, empty-headed bimbo. If you ever wanted a clearer definition of a sore loser, you won't find one.
Well, all I can say to Sarah Palin and her fawning, seditionist admirers is "Suck it, bitches. You're welcome."
Hey Anonymous at 4:39AM...
ReplyDeleteLet's not smear the memory or reputations of some of the greatest artists of the 20th Century who appeared on the "Chitlin Circuit" in this country during the 30's, 40's, 50's, even into the early to mid 60's. These included artists such as, James Brown, B.B. King, The Drifters, Etta James, Brook Benton, Dinah Washington, The Dells, Otis Redding, Redd Foxx, Richard Pryor, Solomon Burke, Little Willie John, Hank Ballard and the Midnighters, Jackie Wilson, Sam Cooke...I could go on and on. No way could "Princess Dumbass" or anyone in her family ever compare to the quality and legacy of these great showpeople. Please know our history as a nation, and DON'T EVER compare the Palin Klan to anyone who performed under harsh conditions and still gave this country one of the greatest shows on earth, that we still are most grateful to have witnessed. PLEASE JUST DON'T DO IT! Thank you very much.
PS: I'm writing this only because of my deep love and respect for these great artists.
I'm actually getting tired quickly of the who gets credit debate. I don't think Obama minds Bush getting some credit for laying some of the groundwork. He's too big of a person to try and take all the credit, so let's be adults and just say glad it's done, thanks to everyone who contributed.

Sarah has uneducated homophobic breaking and entering Willow.
Sarah has Piper who can't seem to make it to school and has to study flash cards kids 3 years younger than her already mastered.
Sarah is forced to go to Washington DC in mismatched stained clothes, hair extensions and oversized shoes.
Sarah was beaten by a black woman for Miss Alaska.
It looks like Sarah hates her life and I know why...
Do you Sarah?
Is Sarah Palin just a medium-
ReplyDeletefunctioning retarded person
being manipulated by those
around her because she gives
old Republican dudes boners?
Is that is why she shows up
in public with food on her clothes, while wearing Peggy Hill's size 16 shoes. Or why
you never see her go anywhere ALONE. She's never been photographed alone, has she?
They keep her on a short leash
for some reason. And it ain't
for security, other celebrities
go out alone.
If you notice, she can't control
her tongue, you know who else
can't control their tongue? Trig.
I'm telling ya, she ain't right.
There is something most definitely
wrong with her. She is like
Tony Polar from Valley of the
Dolls:
"Returning to America, Jennifer takes up with nightclub singer Tony Polar. Believing his childish behavior is caused by his overprotective half-sister/manager Miriam, Jennifer eventually persuades Tony to elope, then goes to Hollywood with him as he pursues his career. Shortly thereafter, she becomes pregnant. Upon finding Tony's been unfaithful she decides to leave, but keep the child. Miriam finally explains that Tony has a congenital brain condition that causes seizures and mild mental retardation and will culminate in total insanity. She warns Jennifer that the child is likely to inherit the sickness. Jennifer decides to have an abortion."
I don't think Sarah gets along with the blacks unless the Blacks are a white trailer park hill billy grifting inbred dysfunctional retarded family like the Palins.
ReplyDeleteHey McCain!
ReplyDeleteWould you vote for Sarah Palin as your president for 2012?
I didn't think so!
Where's G's sidekick, Gasman, been? I'm surprised he hasn't chimed in.
ReplyDeleteLast speech today. Sarah should be able to catch up on comments in the next day or two.
Something is seriously wrong with Sarah Palin not to have mentioned the name of President Obama, Commander-in-Chief to all those veterans in the audience. She is trying to drag down the country, trying to demean elected President Obama to anyone she can, because she's jealous, and still carries a grudge. Forget babygate.....she's showing her true colors, which are her FEELINGS are her priority. If she were leader of a country, God forbid that she would fire high-ranking high-qualified officials because they looked cross-eyed at her.
ReplyDeleteGov Sarah Palin from Alaska went from looking like an overaged woman with a beehive bumpit hairstyle going to her high school prom to a well dressed well groomed vp candidate to a trailer park bum with mismatched stained clothes wearing shoes that Wilt Chamberlin would not fit into while roaming the streets of Washington DC with her prostitute solicting husband looking for a handout.
ReplyDeleteI think Sarah Palin has come full circle in her life.
fuck condoleeza rice. she was an incompetent ass-kisser who was rewarded for her incompetence. her opinions are worthless. hey where's those wmd's, condi? go back under your rock.
ReplyDelete"Right now noone is begrudging her speaking fees as long as she doesn't run. If she runs, expect to see her battered by this by the other Repub nominees"
ReplyDeleteYou can be sure that every single candidate will be researching ALL IM's stuff and keeping it in a big fat folder at the top of the pile, if she announces a run. There's no need to do anything before that.
Btw- I thought for sure someone would give an idea of Sarah's to-do list. Do you think it would include calling the police dept and hospital for anything she should know about?
Palin did NOT use the word 'and'. I heard her define 'our president' as Pres. Bush. It sounds to me like Pres. Obama was completely ignored, name and all. She frequently repeats the same thought with slightly different words. I think she was praising the man who started the war in Afghanistan.
ReplyDeleteBeginning at 10:12:
'Yesterday was a testament to the military's dedication and relentlessly hunting down the enemy through many years of war, and we thank our president...we thank Pres. Bush for having made the right call...(applause).

Is that tongue thing she does, a come on to her male followers?
ReplyDeleteWe have a saying on the farm, which I have noted elsewhere applies to SP:
ReplyDeleteAll you can expect from a pig is a grunt.
In the video, she quickly thanked President Obama with the nod and upturned palm (without uttering his name, of course) then invokes President Bush's name and goes on to give him credit "for making the right calls to *set up this victory*." To me, that quick acknowledgment with the gesture, not mentioning Obama by name, and then giving props to Bush was absolutely meant to diminish President Obama's achievement in eliminating OBL.
ReplyDeletePerhaps she should refresh her memory and read the quote from Bush where he stated that he didn't know or care where OBL was and how it wasn't a priority.
It must be eating her lunch that President OBAMA (Sarah!) scored this victory for the victims of 9/11.
Once again, the queen demonstrates that she is petty, immature, uninformed, and most of all...unpresidential.
Palin kids, say no to moonshine and meth.
ReplyDeleteThat stuff will rot your mind.
Look at Sarah!
That picture of Palin probably drives the panty-sniffers crazy.
ReplyDelete7:03 thanks for saying that. I thought
ReplyDeleteThe reason for the chitlin circuit-
a racially and economically divided society which denied these great performers and their fans the opportunities they deserved.
Naw, she doesn't get to have it both ways. She's got a COMMUNICATIONS degree. She knows what she said and how it sounds. It's deliberate.
ReplyDeleteShe's going to play coy and be disingenuous to audiences in formal speeches?
Fine. We all know by now that Sarah Palin will use any means to disrespect the president. Great, go ahead, Sarah. Do it, Sarah Staff. We expect it. It's predictable.
Our 10-year-old has a Facebook created for him by an adult cousin without permission. After the fact, I've allowed it, but monitor it ALL the time.
A classmate's FB features a giant tag - "I hate Obama." I blocked the kid.
What 10-year-old has a comprehensive understanding of politics and presidential doings? It's nothing more than repeating parents' hate-mongering.
I won't have it. Don't care what the politics are - I will NOT tolerate garbage that teaches my child to be disrespectful. To anyone; about anything.
Hateful stuff IS NOT patriotic. It's the opposite of patriotism. It's destructive and contributes to the decline of America.
"It is the veteran, not the community organizer, who has given us the right to organize." Mrs. Palin might want to read alittle history about the development of labor organizations and the use of the military to suppress them before she makes such a transparently ignorant statement.
ReplyDeleteIf freedom isn't free, and it's a god given right, does that mean god charges for it? Just wondering.
ReplyDelete~Pogo
Ok, kiddies....say it real loud three times so Aunt Swaggie can hear it across the street..." LOSER..... LOSER.....LOSER.....". Now that we all now why the Aunt Swaggie is a LOSER, let's get on out little teewtie devices and tweetie it to the world !!! Aunt Swaggis is a LOSER!!!!! Aunt Swagie is a LOSER !!!!!
ReplyDeleteNow, on to the next next lesson... wiping out bottoms in the toilet by ourselves..
She is not running. Even she would know that there are ties to be reasonable and magnanimous. Wouldn't she? Or does she think magnanimous is a magnetic mouse superhero? I think she is just milkin her flock there too also until she is forced to say she wants to spend more time with her family and Trisonomy-G
ReplyDeleteanyway--- what does "freedom isn't free but a God given right" even mean? and then "thanks for being part of the solution".... to what? the problem of freedom? rights? Fur speeches in a row is too much for RAM...especially since they had to scrap the first version after UBL...any news on her shoes from this one?
she will say ANYTHING to get attention..her desperation is showing. so childish..
ReplyDeleteTwo things:
ReplyDeleteI grew up and am currently living in Colorado Springs. Some people from my conservative high school attended CCU. I looked into an adjunct teaching position there, and they have pretty strict standards--eg you have to prove how involved you are in your church, which for me, a non-churchgoer, made this a non-option. So CCU should be SP's target crowd. The fact that the sparse audience consisted mostly of old people is extremely telling.
My conservative relatives ("Fox News is liberal!") believe Bush spent seven years setting up bin Laden's capture and Obama doesn't deserve any credit. He was not the one engaged in a firefight in the compound. Besides, he has so many Muslim ties he probably could find bin Laden much more easily than Bush could. I told them they ought to watch the Rush Limbaugh video from yesterday--from the transcript I read, he actually raved about Obama--because "Rush" is the only media person they unquestioningly believe.
Look at the way she licks her lips. Like an evil serpent.
ReplyDeletePalin is an ignorant asshat.
ReplyDeleteGeorge W. Bush captured and killed Osama bin Laden just like Bill Clinton captured Saddam Hussein.
I think every single Republican who has tried to deny Obama his full due in this mission ratfucked themselves in a big way. It makes them at best look like mean spirited, snotty toddlers, and at worst seething racists who would deny the black POTUS a wildly successful mission that he executed as Commander In Chief.
But Palin is simply too fucking racist and stupid to realize that.
GROAN!!! She just cannot learn from her previous stupidity. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/05/03/sarah-palin-cant-name-mos_n_856968.html
ReplyDeleteThe aging bimbo also known as Sarah Palin is incapable of acknowledging Barack Obama as president, much less giving him credit for anything. At this point, it matters less and less since she is sinking deeper and deeper into irrelevance. She is not only petty, immature, and woefully ignorant. She also does not have the class or grace that would prompt her to be civil or give credit to those who disagree with her.
ReplyDeleteI wish this idiotic woman with no fashion sense would have fallen head first on the red carpet at the 'after' party. Her shoes were too big for her - her clothes a mess - what a joke at 'trying' to be one of the elite (whom she professes to hate!).
ReplyDeleteShe doesn't begin to measure up to our wonderful President Obama. He is light years ahead of her in being respectful to/of others, kind, smart, well educated (yes, Trump - smarter than you too!), is a true christian and someone who is doing a hell of a job at being the President of the United States.
I hope you fall off the face of the earth, Palin, and soon. We are sick and tired of your evil ways.
Maybe the tongue action is a side effect of medication (lithium) for bipolar disease. Combined with the strange behavior cited by McCain's handlers during the campaign — maybe Palin is a victim of this disease. It may be the affliction CBJ is covering up — not the TriG issue.
ReplyDeleteAnd, maybe a bipolar disorder is the reason Palin had to make it to her regular hospital to have TriG as she would have had to list all her medications in another hospital.
ReplyDelete6:08, doesn't matter what the article said. It isn't an accurate transcript of what Palin said. This fact has been pointed out by Gryphen as well as other commenters. If you are concerned with facts, the actual contents of the speech matter. Listen to the audio.
ReplyDeletePeople get it right! Palin didn't run against President Obama this past election. John McCain did and she ran for the seat 'behind' him and caused him to lose!
ReplyDeleteThe media, some bloggers and idiot Palin continually talk about her run against Obama and how she hates him for 'her' having lost.
She was 'second' on the ticket! And, now the majority in the USA have her on the 'bottom' in ratings. She and Trump are a disgrace to their Republican party.
She's a loser, proven racist, unqualified, doesn't know the meaning of 'work, a quitter, liar, proven unethical by the Legislature in the State of Alaska (which she denied!), the worst governor Alaska ever had (it's proven that Toad did most of the work the short time she held the office) and on and on and on.
She's a farce and nightmare to the United States of America.
Gryphen, 7:23 is obscene and should be deleted.
ReplyDeleteCuriouser@7:52 is right. Palin did not reference Pres Obama at all. She refers to the past efforts and, for those efforts, thanks "our president." Then she goes on to clarify, not once, but twice that she meant Bush. One would use an "and" to link two people. Palin did not use an "and." Read it again, class:
ReplyDelete'Yesterday was a testament to the military's dedication and relentlessly hunting down the enemy through many years of war, and we thank our president...we thank Pres. Bush for having made the right call...(applause). president...we thank Pres. Bush for having made the right call...(applause)
Sarah Palin Can't Name Most Influential Journalist (VIDEO)
ReplyDeletePalin fumbled when asked.
"Oh my goodness, that's a great question," she said, before turning to her husband Todd and asking for his input.
When Todd also balked, Palin came back and said, "Um, gosh, that's a great question, I have to think about it, OK? Because there are many."
As Palin walked away from the camera, she ran into her Fox News pal Greta Van Susteren, and then turned back to the NBC cameras to shout, "Greta Van Susteren is the most influential journalist!"

GW Bush could have gotten bin Laden. He just chose not to.
ReplyDeleteJust as he could have learned to construct a complete sentence. He just chose not to.
GW Bush is a lot like Palin. They are not stupid. They are lazy and have no intellectual curiosity. Which I think is a lot worse.
palin has a big hole where love and compassion should be. all that negativity rolling downhill straight toward her (see that is what she puts out that is returning to her, it's called karma). all the while she grows more and more irrelevant. a palin watcher's dream.
ReplyDeleteWhat is poor old Sarah going to do next now that her prick teasing days are nearly done???
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, she will start collecting funds for THE WIDOW OF THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER!
Surprised she hasn't started it already!
Incomparable bitch. I'd like to bitch slap this media slut so badly. Had quite enough of her idiocy and complete disrespect of the president. Why don't you and Rick Perry get together with Rush Limberger and have a threesome, you odious she devil. Then go back to Alaska and freeze your vileness in perpetuity for all to see. When someone digs you up in a hundred years, you will still be completely preserved in your total hatred and cretinism.
ReplyDeleteShe is such a media whore . She says what ever for shock value . But , quite frankly she is helping to remind America how sad Bush really was in dismissing OBL as not worth bothering with and faking a war in Iraq tht has cost senseless lives and wasted money all kneejerk ,jus like the flat rat ass retard that she is .
ReplyDeleteEvery time I hear this quote
ReplyDelete“It is the veteran, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of press,”
I want to point out that the Soviet Union had soldiers, Nazi Germany had soldiers, China has soldiers, North Korea has soldiers. And yet, they still didn't or don't have freedom of the press.
HAHAHAHA! President Obama invited President George Walker Bush to join him at ground zero. Bush politely declined. So much for "Bipartisanship". I thought it was a tremendously kind gesture on the part of President Obama, to share that moment with President Bush. It would be an honor and a sign of great respect to even be considered.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazingly thoughtful man, his mother and grandmother raised an honorable, humble, intelligent man.
Why, in the name of all that's right and good in this world, would President George W Bush decline? He's set a great example and boost the Republican Party's image.
My take is it's a gulty conscience.
Any Thoughts, Opinions, Excuses?
KevinNYC - I think I love you! :*)
ReplyDeleteWhen I read the account of GW's dismissive words about Bin Laden that he uttered on Wednesday, March 13, 2002, it becomes obvious that he deserves no credit although President Obama is gracious enough to share the limelight.
ReplyDeleteMrs. Palin is not only burning with anger and disbelief that she and McCain were on the losing team in 2008. She is also full of anger and hatred toward a president whom she and others have been foolish enough to underestimate at every turn. Her derisive remarks about his having once been a community organizer are patronizing and completely ignorant. Community organizers have their figurative hands on the pulse of their communities, correctly assessing community needs. That is participating in politics at the grassroots level, and his experience in that capacity served as a springboard for later political endeavors. She sounds exactly like she did when she spoke at the Republican Convention on Wednesday, September 3, 2008, where she made fun of community organizers. Her sorry excuse for a speech was instrumental in people contributing about $10 million to the Obama campaign that very night.
The rest is history.
“It is the veteran, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of press,”
ReplyDeleteI could be wrong, but maybe Sarah meant to say, freedom of "THE" press?
Hey Bristol, go get your google and look this up for mommy.
Sarah Palin, you are not smarter than a first grader.
Gryphen, you're so MEAN to the screechy wretch!!!
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work.
