Sarah Palin's twisted Tweet translated..

Okay so I happened to read this tweet from that wacko from Wasilla:

Obama:"Lincoln-they talked about him almost as bad as they talk about me" Mr. Pres- tour Lincoln Museum anti-Abe display;try repeating claim 
9 hours ago via Twitter for BlackBerry®

Now in the interest of full disclosure I have to admit I had NO fucking idea what Palin was trying to say here.

I was so confused that I actually went over to the Sea O'Pee to see if perhaps they had a special Palin twitter salad decoder ring or something.

It turns out they did have some idea of what she was trying to say.

Apparently during Palin's very, very, very brief bus tour/political prick tease, she had stopped by the Lincoln museum. In one portion of the museum is a room called "The Whispering Gallery."


The Whispering Gallery is a twisted, nightmarish hallway where you will hear brutally unkind things said about Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln during their early months in Washington. On the walls are cruel caricatures and barbed political cartoons that attack the Lincolns.

Apparently Palin got her panties in a twist because President Obama had DARED to compare the hateful, insulting, violent things that are currently being said about him to the hateful, insulting, violent things that were said about President Lincoln.

And since Palin had JUST visited the museum this information about the "Whispering Gallery" had not disappeared completely from her brain.....well not yet anyhow.

So is she right?  DID Lincoln suffer far more hateful comments and biting satire than our current President has faced?

Let's find out.

Anti-Lincoln cartoon


(A bitterly anti-Lincoln cartoon, based on slanderous newspaper reports of the President's callous disregard of the misery of Union troops at the front.)

Anti-Obama cartoon

Anti-Lincoln cartoon


(While Lincoln's prosecution of the war dominated the political debate, slavery was the ultimate wedge issue in the campaign against the president -- and the newspaper, the New York World, had a field day with the delecate subject of race relations. Taking Lincoln's abolitionist sentiments to the extreme, the World claimed that what the president really wished was, "perfect social equality of black and white," even advocating intermarrying so as to become, "the finest race on earth". Courtesy of William Rabbe.)

Anti-Obama cartoon


Oh yeah, I see her point.  Don't you?

    I'm sure Sarah is figuring out how to start her OWN museum, and there will be an entire wing dedicated to all of the "anonymous bloggers" who were so mean to her and her children. And all the proceeds can go to Sarah's favorite charity: SARAHPAC.
    I was reminded today of how shabbily the press treated Chelsea. And were there press releases hitting back from the Clintons? No, they ignored it. Repeatedly. Classily. As I'm sure the Lincolns did. Obama was responding to a question. Sarah does nothing but attack.

    While I think it's a little arrogant for Barack Obama to compare himself to Abraham Lincoln, I think you'll find that there are few things that people said about Abe that they haven't said about Obama. I think people said that he was stupid and that he was the anti-Christ, but I might be mis-remembering that.

    I think a more apt comparison is to JFK, who also broke down a barrier and who was called a communist and other assorted bits of lie-based nonsense, particularly in Texas, and particularly in Dallas, and the Warren Commission, let us not forget, was put together to determine whether the rhetoric attributed to JFK's assassination. They said no. It was one of the many things that they were obviously wrong about.

    Gryphen, I think it is critically important to relay the entire context of our President's comments. In context, you easily see the hypocrisy and idiotic statement made by Palin, one of the biggest sissy pants ever. From the one who called a reporter to berate him for a headline that he didn't even write and then refused to apologize.

    http://campaign2012.washingtonexaminer.com/blogs/beltway-confidential/obama-compares-woes-lincoln

    At his campaign-style town hall meeting in Decorah, Iowa, President Obama compared the criticism he has received from Republicans and other political opponents to the troubles faced by President Abraham Lincoln during the civil war. "Lincoln," the president said, "they used to talk about him almost as bad as they talk about me."

    The president's remarks came in response to a question from a woman who said that congressional Republicans are refusing to be a "good partner" to work with the president. "What happens to our democracy?" the woman asked. "We are in a very divided country right now. What can you say to help us with democracy itself?"

    Obama told the woman that "democracy is always a messy business in a big country like this." In addition, he said, "We kind of romanticize sometimes what democracy used to be like."

    "When you listen to what the Federalists said about the Anti-Federalists, and the names that Jefferson called Hamilton and back and forth -- I mean those guys were tough," Obama said. "Lincoln -- they used to talk about him almost as bad as they talk about me. So democracy has never been for the faint of heart."

    The president has had historical analogies on his mind lately. At a high-dollar fundraiser in New York City last Thursday, he discussed the difficulties he has faced recently and included a meditation on Martin Luther King, Jr. "I think that we forget when he was alive there was nobody who was more vilified, nobody who was more controversial, nobody who was more despairing at times," the president said. "There was a decade that followed the great successes of Birmingham and Selma in which he was just struggling, fighting the good fight, and scorned, and many folks angry. But what he understood, what kept him going, was that the arc of moral universe is long but it bends towards justice. But it doesn’t bend on its own. It bends because all of us are putting our hand on the arc and we are bending it in that direction. And it takes time. And it's hard work. And there are frustrations."

    What the hell is "arrogant" about the President's comment - guess you wouldn't call him arrogant if he was a white guy. He has well suffered as did President Lincoln because he tries to be a President for ALL people. As for comparisons to JFK - the latter never suffered such insults - he had wealth and color on his side.

    This is downright scary:

    Kanon Tipton is a third-generation Pentecostal preacher who can bring worshipers to their feet with calls for a "red-hot revival." He's also a YouTube sensation whose fiery sermons have been viewed more than 4 million times online. His age, all of 4-years-old, might have something to do with that. The "world's youngest preacher," as admirers call him, first toddled up to the pulpit at 21 months, when he took the microphone from his grandfather and launched into a baby babble sermon. His father, Damon Tipton, calls his son's sermonizing a "phenomenon" (See a Today show report below). "Of course, he is mimicking," the elder Tipton concedes, "but I do feel like the hand of God is on him in a special way."

    The reaction: Whatever you think of this immature firebrand's message, says Paul Bentley at the Daily Mail, there's no denying he's "pretty cute." Listening to him bellow, "The Lord is here tonight!" is captivating, say the editors of The Huffington Post. His "emotional delivery, dramatic cadence, back-and-forth pacings" are just like those of a grown-up preacher, and his dad insists he hasn't been coached. That's questionable, says Diane Werts at Newsday. A National Geographic Channel documentary on Kanon and other tiny preachers does nothing to erase the impression that their holy fire is the product of "eerie efforts by the kids' guardians to shape Stars for Jesus." Watch for yourself:

He's been accused of starting legislation to kill old people and sick children. His wife has been morphed with a gorilla in a photo. Wing nuts like Limbaugh and Beck have call him everything but a child of god. Beck has made fun of one of his children. He's been showed with a bone in his nose. When he wanted to do a welcome back to school speech the republicans acted like he wanted to eat their children and went insane. And if I see another sign with a Hitler mustache drawn on the man I will puke. Some skank ex-former gov from Alaska is inordinately interested in talking about his private parts. Lets not forget about the Birther bullshit and Obama hates America and Obama hates the troops and Obama hates white people and Obama will put us in FEMA camps-Michele Bachmann.

    I don't think it arrogant of President Obama to compare himself to President Lincoln. Much of the same dynamics that fueled the bitterness of his time are fueling ours. The Tea Party may well be descendenats of those that lost the civil war. Their attitudes and hatreds have perpetuated and endured. They both held in times of crisis.

    But then I do not recognize arrogance as a personal trait of President Obama's. He is self-possessed which simply means he is in full command of his faculties, feelings and behavior, that he is self confident and calm.
    Wish I was equally as evolved.

    Sarah might think we are impressed with her cultural experience and her historical knowledge. Let me be the first to say...not.

  27. I found that dance cartoon telling in that whomever was attacking Lincoln had all the black women and the white men dancing together. I guess even in their warped dreams, it never occurred to them that black men might dance with white women...or was that too "horrible" to contemplate. Morons! Come to think of it, that would be the very reason I would have expected it. Racists to the very core!

    Meghan McCain has an article up at The Daily Beast; "Sarah Palin is a Tease!" Some of my favorite parts:

    "As I watched on TV the nest of reporters and groupies surround Palin at the Iowa State Fair, I couldn’t help but sit back and wonder if she’s become the ultimate party crasher for the Republican Party."

    "...my advice to Sarah Palin would be, continue to hold the position as the leader and the symbol of right-wing America that you are, continue making boat loads of cash, and stop acting so threatened that the media might forget you. If you are in fact seriously considering running for president, you have reached the eleventh hour and the clock is ticking. Fish or cut bait, Sarah. Either put your hat in the ring and show America what you want to do with our country, or step back and let other politicians whose time has come have their moment. God knows, you have had yours."

    Maybe her dad won't call Palin out on her crap, but little Meggie sure will. It's great that someone's said it, and I can't wait to see what others have to say about it.

    There were some mighty hateful depictions of Lincoln - the slaveholders effectively equated him with the slaves - but it is unlikely that anything has surpassed the racist shit that has been slung at President Obama.

    What the fuck has Palin had to endure? Couric asked her what she reads? OH THE HORROR! Palin was actually treated FAR better by the press during her time on the national political stage than she deserved. She has also not had to answer for her faked pregnancy. I would have thought that alone qualified as kid gloves treatment.

    Palin is a whiny assed, narcissistic, moronic buffoon. Is there any subject that she encounters that she can't somehow twist to being all about her?

The irony is, the folks at the Sea of Pee could fill a whole wing of whispering galleries with their nasty comments about Obama. They will get their comeuppance when SP fails to declare, fails to run, fails.

    No, the President was NOT being arrogant to compare the hate leveled at him with ANOTHER President's. They are in the same profession. A statue has nothing to do with it.

    And if you look at history, you'll see the hate meter for Obama is off the charts compared to Lincoln.

Verizon has hired Xe, aka Blackwater, aka the trigger-happy, machine-gun toting, steroid-pumping freak mercenary army to "protect" itself from its striking, 1104 Union employees. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/08/17/1008089/-Meet-Verizons-Newest-Security-Force:-Blackwater?via=siderec This is an absolutely sickening development. We're officially back to the Pinkerton era in this country. Could you please help spread the word, if anyone feels morally inclined to do so and has a Verizon contract or Verizon stock, please, for the human beings fighting for their and our middle class jobs in the 1104, dump Verizon, send Verizon letters, let them know hiring mercenaries against peacefully striking employees is unacceptable, un-American, immoral, reprehensible.

    American History as seen through the eyes of Sarah Palin:
    1. Paul Revere warned the British that they wouldn't be taking away our guns. In reality, Revere (and other riders) were sent out to warn The Sons of Liberty, holding a secret meeting, that the British were coming.
    2. The Statute of Liberty is a reminder not to make the mistakes that the countries in Europe made. In reality, it was a gift of friendship from France given 100 years after our revolution, which inspired theirs. The statue is affectionately called Lady Liberty, because she stands for Liberty.
    3. They said more bad things about Sarah Palin than were said about Abraham Lincoln. Why couldn't Sarah comment about how Lincoln held the nation together when the Southern Slave states seceded from the Union, much like Rick Perry wanted Texas to secede from the US, much like the Tea Party wants to destroy the United States. It takes a strong leader to hold the nation together under those conditions.

    If that was all that Sarah got out of her visit, then she missed the part about how a backwoods lawyer educated himself and became president of the United States. Sarah hasn't learned anything, and she dreams of the same office.

    I'd like to suggest that Sarah get to work on her next book, a Revised History of the United States as made up by Sarah Palin.

    The posters here are right on. Sarah IS mentally ill - especially with being obsessed with President Obama - that is consuming her from the inside like a terminal illness. Simply AMAZING to witness.

    Sarah is like a former prom queen - continually going back to her high school year after year to see if anyone remembers her in her brief glory days as the most popular girl for a brief moment in time.

    If Sarah was SMART, she would have finished her governor term, not faked a pregnancy, read continuously to update herself on world events and leaders, taught her children to seek higher education, remained faithful to her husband, not play 'favorites' to family/friends and destroy other people's careers and lives - and THEN sought higher office, she would have a chance.

    But obviously she's an idiot and at a high-school mentality, forever 'Miss Wasilla', EX-Alaska governor (who QUIT), ex-VP candidate, she ends up a LOSER. Worse, she doesn't even know it. She's still circling Wasilla High School in her mind forever seeking admiration from her dwindling admirers.

    Lincoln was a stalwart President. He was tested and rose above the fray and in the end did an amazing thing in Emancipation. But why can't one president compare himself to another? How is that arrogance?
    Hmmmm? Especially when the comparison is an extremely valid one. Hate.

    There's a quitter ex-gov who is constantly comparing herself to the made up GOP god Reagan
    who left office very unpopular. But he was not called Hitler.

    And by the way, Nathan Bedford Forest has a statue and he helped start the Klan. See? Not always a argument for greatness.

    Arrogant:

    Synonyms
    1. presumptuous, haughty, imperious, brazen. See proud.


    Antonyms
    1. meek. 2. modest, humble.



    ............................

    I often hear people refer to President Obama as being arrogant. I can't see that myself, and am wondering what they are talking about. So often people who criticize him for his arrogance also criticize him for his willingness to compromise and negotiate with others rather than to enforce HIS agenda. They say he is too meek which is the opposite of arrogrance.

    Arrogant is just a racist code word for uppity when referring to the President. Obama is not referring to being like the mythical Lincoln, the statue guy or Lincoln, the guy on the money, he is referring to the Lincoln who suffered hatred and death wishes as president. Right wingers don't get this because when they compare themselves to historic figures, they are really comparing themselves to the mythological figures that have been created around the real figures. I hope everyone knows that the Reagan that Palin wants to be the second coming of isn't the doddering, senile, puppet that he actually was, but the Reagan that only exists in Republican peabrains.

    "While I think it's a little arrogant for Barack Obama to compare himself to Abraham Lincoln- Anon 5:12PM"
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    He didn't say he thought he was as smart as Lincoln.

    He didn't say he was as great a statesman as Lincoln.

    He didn't say he would be considered one of the greatest presidents of all time, like Lincoln.

    He simply said people talk SMACK about him perhaps even a bit more than they talked SMACK about Lincoln.

    Ya know, being the first Black President and all. They've called him a terrorist, anti-American, arrogant, and many, many more ugly things which I don't believe reflect the man at all.

    I think he is incredibly charming in no small part because he is often so self-depreciating, and he often goes for humor to try and diffuse a situation.

    Again, based on the context of what he said, I think it's a strange takeaway to say you think he is "arrogant" because he mentions that Lincoln was also villified in his time.

    Peace.
