Palin on the attack again. This time she does not take aim at the President, or even Democrats however, THIS time she throws her rhetorical bombs at the Grand Old Party itself.

This showed up a little late last night in my e-mail inbox.

It is another Breitbart article, which purports to have interviewed Palin about an article that appeared earlier in the Daily Beast.

Here are the pertinent portions:

Palin told Breitbart News that these establishment financiers cannot relate to the average American worker and are throwing a "fit" because Wall Street knows they are in a whole new ballgame where their influence is diminishing. 

Palin was responding to an article by David Freilander in Thursday's Daily Beast in which prominent Republican establishment financiers showed disdain for the conservative grassroots while being unable to identify exactly what a "precinct captain" is. 

Palin, who started her political career on the local level as an outsider before eventually challenging the GOP establishment in Alaska to become governor, said that the "GOP high roller machine can’t win elections with their cash anymore." 

"If they could, all the money they threw at Romney would have paid off," Palin said, referring to Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's inability to galvanize the blue-collar conservative base during the 2012 presidential election. "It’s the average American – the grassroots Tea Party patriot with enthusiasm and boots on the ground – who wins elections": So I say call these guys out and expose the fact that they no longer control any conservative movement because they’re not the voice of the people. See, some of these Wall Street guys basically want to use the GOP for three things: They want low taxes for themselves; they want lots of cheap foreign labor (aka blanket amnesty); and they want to be safe (though most won’t send their own kids to fight our wars, they don’t want anyone blowing up buildings in Manhattan; so they’re all for sending our sons and daughters to whatever foreign hell hole beckons to make sure the bad guys stay off our soil)." 

Palin, the avatar of the Tea Party movement whom the Republican establishment has tried to eviscerate and whose endorsement former South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint (R) said had the most influence in Republican primaries, was not finished excoriating the establishment financiers who were berating the Tea Party: 

"Ask yourself if most of them really care about America’s industrial base or can even relate to the American worker and our values. The particular fat cats who are so often used as anonymous sources to trash the grassroots see this latest Tea Party effort to keep essential government open as just a distraction. They’re throwing a bit of a fit because this is a whole new, needed ballgame where their money can’t buy elections anymore."

You may have picked up on the fact that these answers seem a little too coherent for Palin, which means they undoubtedly sent her the questions, and then received a ghostwritten response by e-mail.

In the article which seems to have angered those over at the defunct Breitbart.com, and possibly Palin's ghostwriter as well, it claims that during this meeting between wealthy Republican donors and Rep. Greg Walden, chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, the donors did not understand what a "precinct captain" was, however it is not their lack of knowledge concerning political ground tactics that so angered the Right Wing, and the Grizzled Mama.

It is this:

It is unlikely that the gilded power brokers in the Republican Party are likely to join their local county political club any time soon, but as the stock market wobbles amid the government shutdown and the continued demand for an Obamacare delay, a number of GOP donors are wondering if it is time for a little outside counter-pressure to sap the Tea Party of some of its energy. To be clear, none are considering joining the Democrats, and they find plenty of fault with President Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. The deficit, taxes, and regulation remain top concerns. But several top GOP donors say figuring out a way to “break the fever”—as Obama once put it—or at least keep their fellow party members from damaging the economy any further has become Topic A in their social set.

Essentially the gist of the Daily Beast's article is that GOP donors are tiered of watching the Republican party get dragged around by their nutsack by a bunch of poorly educated idiots, who seem determined to destroy the country in the name of insane ideological viewpoints.  

And speaking of poorly educated idiots, this was the final word from Palin, or her ghostwriter, on the article: 

Palin told Breitbart News that "the day the GOP machine abandons the grassroots patriot – the heart and soul of the party who actually gets people elected – is the day the GOP elephant is extinct." 

"This keeps up and I’m not sticking around to watch it happen," Palin said. 

Yeah, well as we know "sticking around" is not exactly a Sarah Palin strong point.

However I can only imagine the huge sigh of relief that will come from the Republican party once this ill manner, out of control, parasite finally detaches from them and swims off to cause havoc under the banner of somebody elses's political organization.

If you thought John Boehner was drinking celebratory cocktails before....

P.S. Another thing about this Breitbart article which caught my eye is that they get the name of the Daily Beast's journalist completely wrong. They refer to him as " David Freilander" when in fact his name is "David Freedlander." You know when your "journalism" is this sloppy, it is a little hard to give you any credibility.

      In my small town, a couple of post-high school graduates had children. One is studying to be a nurse; the other is a father who works in construction and gives all he can to his child.
      The other kids in my community went to colleges big and small, Harvard and Yale, and the local community college, and lots in-between. They're all trying, at the best of their abilities, to plan futures for themselves, their future families, and for society.
      No one's been arrested, one had a DUI, the rest have pretty much had a great time learning, partying, making friends, and looking toward the future.

      It's almost as if Sarah and Todd tried to keep the kids trashy and uneducated instead of allowing them to grow beyond the confines of their Valley Trash lifestyle. There are a lot of successful kids out here in the Valley; they go to school and come back doctors and lawyers, but there's also this base element of pregnant teens, dropouts and drug abusers and it seems that the Palins are more proud to be part of that demographic rather than strive to remove themselves from it. Out here, "trashy" is a lifestyle; there are plenty of absolute heathen white trash monsters that are living in half million dollar homes but they can't buy class and sophistication, nor can most of them figure out how to decorate these giant homes.

He isn't paid by powerful interest groups; unlike Sarah Palin who gets bountifully paid for writing for Bretibart, and receives money from SarahPac and is paid thousands of dollars when she speaks. She makes a very profitable career out of this. Gryphen doesn't.

      Wouldn't it be nice if everyone gave their opinion for free? The world would be a better place. And the donors wouldn't have to stretch their small paycheques any further and might be able to afford that operation. But Sarah Palin cares only about getting paid $$$ per word that comes out of her mouth.

      Then, practice writing. Clear, concise writing. Daily. Start with 500 words, that should not be too difficult for someone with your political insight and rapier wit...you just need to up your game a bit.

    Better watch it, Palin. More and more patriotic Americans are calling out tea partiers, especially those in congress, for what they are: traitors and terrorists determined to destroy this country's government from within.

    "latest Tea Party effort to keep essential government open"

    I'm sorry, what? Maybe this demented clown did read Orwell. The tea party traitors bragged about shutting down the government before they even took the oath of office (which should be grounds to be thrown out of office). They bragged about this being what they want and celebrated shutting down the government. Now they are trying to frame their refusal to let a vote to re-open the government even come to the floor as an "effort to keep essential government open?

    Nice try, you traitorous harpy.

    You have to wonder what world Palin lives in because it sure seems like reality has no place in it. She says Romney's failure was proof that the GOP "financiers" could no longer simply buy elections, it was now the powa of the boots on the ground "patriots" who win them.

    So I guess when she says "patriots" she means Liberals because the teapeople's jackboots were all on the ground for Romney once they realized Ron Paul still wouldn't be taken seriously by the general population.

      I guess that she wouldn't understand that Romney sank his own presidential campaign with that 47% video. All the money in the world can't erase those snobbish comments. Building an elevator in his garage didn't help matters either. As for McCain, he couldn't remember how many houses he had. And, he had no solution to the economic meltdown of 2008.

      There is one more fact of life that Sarah Palin refuses to mention. President Obama's background as a community organizer is what helped win him both elections. The Democrats had a superior ground game to get out the vote, thanks to local community organization. I still get several emails a day from them while Sarah is spending money on postage. How's that snail mail working out for you, Sarah?

      Wasn't Karl Rove one that didn't believe it?

    Who are these Republican donors she's speaking of? So, she's complaining that the GOP depends too much on the money that influences their methods, but she herself was part of that system and has become rich from it. At least the Congressional members work. She gets donations and all she does is bark.

    She is now angry at the RNC snub and will forever hold a grudge and this is a good time to turn into a sad pile of self-pity, because now she can't draw one red-blood cent out of the Republican machine, she moves on to the next machine that will give her praise and $$$. Even though the Tea Party is not as powerful and healthy as they were, she'll re-create herself (chameleon) into whatever they want, as an exemplary model of leader (and please sent that $$$$).

    I think the tea-party favorites are already set in stone, Rand Paul. He now seems to be the moderate Tea-Party presidential candidate and Sarah is not moderate in anything. Soon, very soon she'll be dividing tea-party activists with her hateful rhetoric. She'll divide any political bandwagon as long as they don't give her the adoration and praise she thinks she deserves.

      Every M.D., of any specialty, who had to work very, very hard to pass his "boards," will be beyond flabbergasted that Rand thought up his own "boards,' thought up his own questions, put the HQ of his "Board" in a P.O. box in his hometown, and employs his wife as vice president.
      Whatever his yapping about why "grandfathering" in older opthalmologists was unfair, those are the rules everyone must work with in the medical community.
      The first and most obvious conclusion has to be that he couldn't pass his boards the second time around, so he took his ball and went and made up his own rules. I'll bet he takes plenty of Medicare patients, being self- "board certified," and all.
      Basically, he's a cheater, where cheating -- on medical knowledge and ability -- has little room for error.
      If he thinks of running beyond Kentucky, his medical records will be analyzed -- his successes and failures. Those are open to the public. So, too, can his income from Federal Medicare or Medicaid patients.

    4. Good for you, Anon 10:13, for pointing out the utter speciousness of Rand Paul's "self-certification." I'm not a doctor, but I spend a lot of time, energy, and money on medical care... "Dr." Paul's "board"-certification should put him on the Does Not Fly list, should--heaven forbid!--he ever be vetted to run for office again.

    Sometimes I feel like we democrats need to register en masse as Repiblicans and vote in their primaries to get rid of these assholes. I'm a lifelong democrat and I don't want republicans to win seats, so on the one hand, I want them to put a bunch of nuts up for election but on the other hand, this is our government! We're all hurt by the handful of nutbags in power and what is keeping them there?

    Republican PRIMARY voters! Most of them know that they can do whatever they want because their seats are so safe. However! If a flood of DEMOCRATS start voting in their primaries and choose the more sensible candidates, then maybe our democracy can get back on track again!

      The only threat to Republican Reps in gerrymandered districts is being primaried, which is why this shutdown occurred. They are being threatened with primary challengers who are more loyal to Tea Party beliefs (Read: candidates who are dumb as fuck and crazy).

      In those cases we have a better chance of picking up a gerrymandered seat, but it's still difficult.

      If you as a democrat can vote in a Republican primary, it may actually help pick up the seat by voting for the batshit-insane one (though the Dem candidate should be STRONG to overcome the district bias).

    It's wonderful to watch Sarah Palin spread all that hate over the Republicans who gave her the greatest chance of a lifetime, to run for VP, when she was totally unqualified for that office. Biting the hand that feeds you hardly describes the situation. Even after she quit her job as governor, the Republicans still loved Sarah as a mouthpiece on Fox and to endorse their candidates.

    Somewhere along the line, Sarah turned on them. Was it putting targets on candidates and then making that Blood Libel video? Was it lining up with Tea Party folks like Glenn Beck because she could get more attention and not have her words filtered? Sarah would be skinning salmon filets if she hadn't been chosen by the Republicans in 2008, and she has been spitting in their eyes ever since. Maybe it's because people like Nicole Wallace and Steve Schmidt could see right through Palin and they knew that she was an empty shell. Maybe it's because Roger Ailes got Sarah to sign a contract for less money at Fox, and now he has her on a tight, very tight leash. Maybe it's because Sarah needs all the attention and isn't willing to be a team player.

    Sarah has a good deal going. She blows a lot of hot air, uses vulgar, nasty expressions and her fans eat up the red meat. For some stupid reason, they think that she's going to be the President of the United States. No she isn't; she isn't even going to run. Sarah will never run for office, period. But, she lets her fans think that she will so they will give her money. Sarah is an utter and complete fraud, and the Republicans figured that out some time ago. The only people that she can still fool are the Teabaggers.

    Sarah once ran against the political forces in Alaska and that worked out well for her-- at the state level. I'm sorry to insult any of the Alaska readers, but you did have a corrupt government and it was easy to run against them, then. But Palin is a small fish in a very big ocean on the national level. She might have fooled enough people in Alaska, but we saw right through her the minute that she opened her mouth in 2008. No matter how hard she tries, she shows that she hasn't learned anything and she is still a small town player.

      That's a complicated question. Halcro did garner over 22,443 votes. 17459 separated Knowles from Palin. So it would have taken nearly 80% of those votes for Halcro to go to Knowles instead, had Halcro not run. However, Halcro was running because he and his supporters were dissatisfied with the resurgence of Tony Knowles who already had two terms of Governor under his belt from 1994-2002, so it would have been unlikely that Halcro supporters would have voted for Knowles. They darn sure wouldn't have voted for Palin so they may have just voted Green or write in.

    They should have spoken out back when Palin was benefiting their agenda, lying about death panels and saying the president didn't love America. They should have taken a stand against these race-baiting and fear-mongering radio hosts instead of minimizing their extreme propaganda by calling them "entertainers".

    Duh, the GOP has to romance the "base", the 25% of GOP voters that are undereducated and very much the heart of blue collar America. The GOP power brokers have to hold their noses and associate with them during election season because they need their votes and they can't win without them. Also too, the "base", which is heavily Tea Party influenced, don't have the numbers to go third party and win any elections. The GOP needs them and they need the GOP, and it chaps both their asses.

    The GOP power brokers used to manage the message from the base, they acted on orders from above and toed the party line and spouted the party talking points, but not any longer. It's kind of hilarious to watch the country club republicans freak out because the "Joe the Plumbers", that they helped create, have gone rogue on them; I think the muckety mucks simply thought that these people were too stupid to form their own message but they've taken a good hard look at the hypocrisy in the GOP and called them on it.

    The GOP upper echelons better invest in the best home security they can afford because I see the "base" coming after what is theirs one day, wielding torches and pitchforks! I don't see them ever being able to control their message again, and it kind of serves them right. It's been really fun watching this happen, but of course I'm looking from the outside in.

      I agree with most of what you say, 11:15; but, I am thinking lately that this so-called "Tea Party influence", has morphed somehow, into something much more sinister than a bunch of uneducated, Heart of America base of voters that are always going to vote against their best interests.

      The few rallies, or gatherings that they even have anymore are documented by photos of very tiny crowds. The "Tea Party" legislators (Bachmann, Gohmert, etc.) have to glom onto events in DC to get any kind of attention. I actually live in the Heartland, and I never see, or hear about, any type of "Tea Party" event occurring. I don't think that particular base of voters is really there anymore.

      So...why is there influence so great? I think that there are a couple of possible explanations. One, that the only way Boner can keep his position as Speaker is to keep the "Tea Party" members voting with him; without them, the Speaker doesn't really have a majority. And the only way to do that is to honor their unreasonable demands. Or, two, the "Tea Party" is, in reality, a fully owned subsidiary of Koch Industries. A Potemkin village of a political party, completely fake, where rules are for suckers, and money will buy them whatever power they need.

      I try to be optimistic, and console myself by thinking that, in November of 2014, those uneducated, ill-trained, government-hating teabagger Congresspeople will be resoundingly removed from their positions of influence by the hardworking, self-giving voters of their district, who will realize how dangerous it can be to send unqualified persons to run the government. But, they need to be kept very clear of Koch influence.

    Still think it's funny that you claim she attacks your President, when she's never actually criticized him as a person. She DOES assert opinions that differ from HIS, something YOU all do. And she's complimented him as a person. Something you've never done in reference to YOUR opponent. Grow up libs

    In her delusional mind, she still sees her future associated with the White House. Don't know if she still wants to be President - because she hates hard work and thinking is hard work - but being a kind of Kingmaker, that would suit her nicely. Then whoever is in power could line her pockets most generously.
