In order to drum up interest in her Christmas book, Sarah Palin chases controversy and fans the flames of religious strife.

Courtesy of Wausau Daily Herald:

Former Alaska governor and GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin will be in the Wausau area next week to promote her new Christmas book, exactly one month after she took to Facebook to weigh in on the Wausau School District’s religious music controversy

Palin will be at Walmart, 4300 Rib Mountain Drive, from 10 a.m. to noon Nov. 14 to sign copies of “Good Tidings and Great Joy: Protecting the Heart of Christmas.” 

Rib Mountain will be Palin’s fourth stop on her national book tour, she announced Wednesday on her Facebook page, and her first visit to the Wausau area. 

In the book, Palin calls for people to publicly celebrate Jesus Christ during Christmas and say “Merry Christmas” to one another. 

In October, Wausau School District administrators placed new limits on religious music performances by school groups, including an elite choral group at Wausau West High School called the Master Singers. Many in the community said the school district’s religious-music restrictions were akin to an attack on Christianity. 

Last month, Palin posted the following to her Facebook page: “Thank you to all the Wausau, Wisconsin, residents who showed up to protest a wrongheaded school directive against Christmas carols. Wausau showed that there is power in unity as we battle against Scrooges who want Christ out of Christmas. My new book tackles issues like this one. It explains the steps we can take to combat the Scrooges so that we may forever protect the heart of Christmas from those who seek to diminish its true meaning.” 

More than 41,600 people have “liked” that post since Oct. 14. (Many of them bots paid for by money from SarahPAC no doubt.)

Of course Palin has recently posted about a number of incidences which she has classified as attacks on Christmas, Christianity, and family values in preparation for this book tour. Including the textbook "controversy" in Florida,  the cemetery grave marker "controversy" in Colorado, the military "controversy" concerning Evangelicals, and so on.

Many of these places are near book stop tours, and I have little doubt that Palin will use them to help attract interest in her newest ghostwritten toilet paper dispenser.

Essentially if seems that Palin has structured her book tour to take her to places which she believes she can identify as ground zero for the "War on Christmas," and thereby a "War on Christians." 

It seems obvious to me that she is openly courting religious zealotry and hoping to anger Christians to the point that they will buy her book as some kind of statement against what she identifies as an attack on their faith and "their" holiday.

Much like Palin it is ugly, it is ignorant, and it will more than likely be a failure.

Later in the Wausau article they suggest that the local Wal-Mart is prepared for large crowds, but I have a feeling that will not be necessary. There will be a few looky-loos but for the most part nobody really cares.

    Ironic how concerned Sarah is about religion and shoving it down everyone's throat when she herself is the absolute worst kind of person. Does she ever read the bible? Does she ever attend and/or support a church? Does she treat others the way she herself would wish to be treated? Is she charitable? The answer to all these questions is a resounding NO!

      My favorite story is the one where Sarah went to the geneticist's office in Anchorage through the back door, and used a fake name so no one would know who she was. She was the very much photographed Governor of Alaska. Using a fake name doesn't accomplish anything, since the doctor and everyone in his/her office are bound by HIPPA, and they couldn't have talked about their famous patient, anyway. If you use a fake name, you can't use an insurance card at the doctor's office, and these days, anyone paying cash would raise more than an eyebrow.

      The geneticist's job is to interpret the genetic material, the DNA. He/she is the one who would look at a sample under the microscope and see the 3rd chromosome in order to diagnose DS. The sample would have to come from an amniocentesis, a procedure that has to be done by a trained OB/GYN who uses the sonogram to make sure that the needle extracting amniotic fluid doesn't hit the baby. (That's not the job description for the geneticist.) People who claim to be "right to life" do not have an amnio because there is a risk of miscarriage. Following that procedure, the person is supposed to be driven home by someone else, and rest for 24 hours. Sarah claimed to have gone by herself, and driven back to Wasilla alone. Right.

      Just a little memo to Sarah's ghost writer: When you make up a story, you might want to google the words and see that you are using them correctly. It only takes a few minutes to check out the facts and write a story that is more believable that Sarah sneaking in the back door of a geneticist's office in Anchorage and using a fake name.

      So, maybe Barstool was an MA in a derm office for a few hours.

    There is no war on Christmas. Fox made up that story and they repeat it every year because it scares people. No one is preventing Palin from celebrating Christmas or praying. It is probably a good sign that Palin has written a book about Christmas memories and religious persecution. Serious political candidates have books coming out now, dealing with policy issues. Even though Palin loves hint that she might consider running for President, she does that to get donations and to get attention. She will never run for political office. It's too much work. Selling a book about a fake war on Christmas and Christians is an easy way to get money and attention. That book should be in the bargain bin by Dec.26.

      Open Letter to Rand Paul: 'I Am a Writer'

      Dear Senator Paul;

      I am a writer. I make my living with my words. I am also a keynote speaker and workshop leader, so I make my living with spoken words, as well as written ones. It hurts me -- and it hurts all writers -- when you take words that aren't yours and present them to others as original. It is plagiarism. It is stealing. It is both unethical and illegal.

      It is not just students and journalists who are prohibited from stealing others' words and presenting them as their own -- the copyright laws cover all of us, not just a few. As a U.S. Senator, you are not above the law. If you take my words and use them on your website, in an OpEd piece, in a book, or in a speech, you are stealing from me. How can I -- how can any writer -- make a living if you to simply take our words without payment or credit and use them as your own?

      Would you take someone's song and put your name on it, presenting it as your original creation? Would you take an artist's painting, paint your name over theirs, and claim it as your own? Of course not. Everyone knows that's stealing. And everyone knows that lifting segments of someone's writing verbatim and representing it as your own is also stealing.

      Your attempt to parse the copyright laws to assert that speeches are in a different category than written pieces is just nonsense. Your defensive denials of wrong-doing are fooling no one. As Shakespeare would say, "Methinks thou doth protest too much." You're a smart man -- you know better.

      You made dumb mistakes lifting words from others -- why not just own up to it and say you're sorry? The American people are very forgiving when a leader makes a mistake and owns up to it. We move on quickly if authentic contrition is demonstrated. Why don't you just cop to it instead of pretending to be the victim of "haters"? Seriously, Senator, whining doesn't become you.

    So she tries to fire up a hate storm in these random towns where the controversies are, then zones in on those towns for the maximum profiteering, setting up her little table are wares, pretending she worries about a supposed war on Crhistmas.

    Who's the enemy of Christmas here? SELLING a book with words in in that show righteous indignation because not everyone will wish her heiness a "Merry" Christmas?

    If I recall, the story in the 4 gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John tell the same story, in different manners of how a young couple had to stay the night in a barn because there was no room at the Inn, and the young girl delivered a baby without the aid of advanced medicine. They then had to flee from Bethlehem, from the evil King Herod, who had heard from the wise men that a prophesied King of the Jews had been born, this King Herod had all firstborn 2 year -old boys massacred because he wanted to have this new Messiah killed and not topple his government. The couple fled to Egypt with the baby Jesus. It's not a happy story on the surface and the times they lived in were brutal.

    The Merry in Christmas is not about the story here. The Merry is all about humans having to have a reason to celebrate; and it's OK to celebrate. But, the true meaning of Christmas is in personal inner reflection and for many, it gives hope that through so much trial, there will be a perfect forever day.

    I remember attending Mass and the priests weren't laughing big belly laughs like Santa as they performed the ceremony. I think the merry in the Christmas season comes from too many drinks at the Christmas party.

Anyone that can't see the hypocrisy of selling a book decrying the commercialization of Christmas is an imbecile. For those seeking the one question to ask Paylin face-to-face, I would keep it relevant to the holidays and her grifting: "Why aren't you donating any of the profits to charities to commemorate the birth of Jesus?" I would love to see her being asked this question, with a smile of course, over and over again. It exposes her for the fraud she is.

      It's a history book about the night George Washington rode through town warning that the British were coming while shootin' off guns, ringing them bells and waving the first American flag Martha just got done sewing.

      Why didn't Sarah visit the original, real Bethlehem when she was in Israel? If the birth of Christ is so important to her, why didn't she visit the Church of the Nativity when she had a chance?

      Except it is in Easton not Bethlehem

      Since it's Easton, not Bethlehem, maybe Sarah can look over a fence at Bethlehem, just like she did when she was in Israel.

      Sarah Palin stole Bethlehem because the name of Easton was not good enough for her advertising? Once a skank! Always a skank!

    Sarah Palin is coming to a Mall in Brownbackistan. She'll be so close that I should put on my "Mrs Betty Bowers Best Christian Ever" outfit and pay her a visit. That would mean going to the Mall early before the sun comes up to get my numbered wristband and buy her book. What if the wristband does not match my outfit?!!! And what if her team of special forces and security do a background check before we all gather to wait for her magical entrance with sleigh bells ringing and angels singing. "Hark, unto you a sofa pillow has been delivered and they wrapped it in swaddling clothes and called it legit." I bet they would keep me waiting for a really long time and never call my wristband number. And, I would be left holding her worthless book that I never intended to read let alone buy.

    Perhaps, I should confine my reporting as an embedded journalist in the trenches covering the WAR ON CHRISTMAS from the front at Oak Park Mall.

      Buy the book with a credit card, and if you don't get a chance to meet Sarah and have the book signed, return it to the store. The book really is like a ticket of admission to See Sarah for One Minute (or less).

      Then if you do get to meet Sarah, Gryphen has been collecting wonderful questions to ask her (in front of everyone else waiting in line).

      Ask about store's 'return policy' on books first! Some stores might not refund books as they know a person could buy, read and return.

      @10:30 I'd sure be protesting that store's return policy. If you bought the book for the purpose of meting Palin, and you didn't get to meet Palin, you'd be returning that book soon after the purchase. It's more than 250 pages, hardly something to knock off in an hour or two. I'd take the store credit or explain that I'm disputing the charge with the credit card company, plus I'd never do business with them again. There is only one time when we have seen a store refuse to take a book back-- on the old Jerry Seinfeld show, because George (a fictional character ) read the book in the bathroom and it had "toilet smell" on it. I've returned a book to a store when I discovered that my husband bought the same book. There was no problem with the return.

      I suggest you never take a book into the bathroom at the book store or it will get "flagged" and you will have to buy it. Don't mess with Rebecca DeMornay!

    First of all this merry xmas and happy holiday s debate was created by very ignorant evangelicals. The term Holiday means Holy Day, which means Happy Holidays is saying Happy Holy Day.
    The term Christmas does mean Christ Mass, which is the catholic term developed in the early 1600's by the Pope of the day when he co-opted the pagan winter solstice from Pagans. Merry Christmas basically means enjoy your Catholic Mass on this Pagan occasion.
    But then only people like Tea baggers can take words used for one purpose and skew them for their own crazy ways.
    BTW I am not a Christain, but you can ask any educated Christian and they can tell you there are multiple Christian holy days in Dec and that is why the term Happy Holidays was used, to celebrate ALL of those.
    Athiest signing off after giving Christians their religious lesson of the day

      Right on, Little Rabbit! The Christmas tree goes back to pagan times when people burned something at the darkest time of year, to make the sun burn more brightly. If you do it around Dec.21 or so, it works, because after 12 days, it gets a little lighter each afternoon.

    No, Gryphen, Sarah is not drumming up religious controversy. She is turning her book into a political opportunity so her PAC will pay for the book tour. Yesterday, people wrote comments that they just might buy Sarah's book in order to stand in line and ask her a question. While they are standing in line, maybe they should count how many pages are devoted to Palin/Heath family Christmas memories and how many pages accuse the government of preventing people from the freedom to worship as they choose. I thought that the original message was preaching against the commercializing Christmas (by selling books about Christmas, LOL). And, that there weren't enough prayers and hymns in our public schools, where there should be a separation between Church and State.

    Sarah Palin is the one who is commercializing Christmas by selling her book. Instead of dropping by some charities to say "thanks," it would be more Christian to donate the proceeds of a Christmas book to those charities. They need the money, too.

    Sarah Palin is the one turning her Christmas book into a political statement so her PAC will pay for her road trip. Christmas is not a political issue. People can celebrate Christmas any way that they want.

    I'm so inspired by Mrs Palin's offensive defense of Christmas that I've decided to stand up for the war on Hanukkah, also too!! Next time some Hebrew hating Xtian declares war on MY holiday by wishing me a Merry Christmas I intend to fight back and demand the appropriate greeting!!! Although we Jews don't usually make a big Hallmark fuss about Hanukkah but Palin has fired up my holiday spirit to the max and I demand the same holiday respect that she demands for her's! I may even wear camo to show these disrespectful 'MC' greeters that this is war and I mean bidness!

      I think that one "Merry Christmas" is worth eight "Happy Hanukkah's" because Christmas is only one day, while Hanukkah last for eight days. And, don't give me that Twelve Days of Christmas stuff. The way that is supposed to be celebrated is by giving gifts on the 12th Night (January 6) because that's when the Magi showed up with their gifts. That's how the holiday is celebrated in many Latin American countries. Santa Claus coming down the chimney is a recent invention. And, let's put in a "shout out" for Kwanza, too. Seven "Happy Kwanza's" equal one "Merry Christmas."

    I could see one of the big , cardboard dollar bills one buys at the party store with one of the snark pictures of her twisted face in
    the middle surrounded by the Christmas wreath and on each side
    a gun pointed at the viewer with the cross hairs in the hole the
    bullet comes out of. Under that " Give Me Your Cash Now." Then
    under that line, " Merry Christmas." Images of small , white crosses scattered about and on each corner a picture of the
    baby Jesus.
