Surrounded by a rabid sea of NRA supporters Sarah Palin lets the crazy fly: "Waterboarding is how we baptize terrorists." Update!

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin fired up a crowd of thousands inside Lucas Oil Stadium Saturday night to kick off the National Rifle Association’s “Stand and Fight Rally,” saying Americans’ constitutional rights as envisioned by the founding fathers are under attack and policies like gun-free zones constitute “stupid on steroids.” 

“They knew that if the Second Amendment goes, the rest of the constitution is not far behind,” she said of the country’s founders. (This is patently untrue, as the emphasis on gun ownership by everyday citizens was NEVER the goal of the Founders. THEY were talking about militias.)

In her approximately 12-minute address, Mrs. Palin also derided what she argued is akin to a ‘blame the messenger’ attitude on gun violence many Americans take today. 

“Gun stores are an accomplice to crime,” she said, “and that fork made me fat.” 

She also derided those who she said place an emphasis on political correctness in handling the country’s adversaries “instead of putting the fear of God in our enemies.” 

She said later in her address that if “I were in charge” — a line that drew applause from the crowd — “they would know that waterboarding is how we baptize terrorists.” 

Jesus what a crazed bitch! Actually waterboarding is how we turn perfectly innocent people into lifelong enemies of America.

At one point in the speech Palin said: "If you control oil, you control an economy. If you control money, you control commerce. But if you control arms, you control the people."

Essentially repeating the NRA lie that this administration wants to take away people's guns in order to oppress them, and remove their ability to fend off the police or military when they come to enforce unconstitutional laws.

At another point in her speech she said, "Gals you know that nowadays ammo's expensive. Don't waste a bullet on a warning shot." 

Because you know it always better to shoot first and ask questions later.

Palin was beyond crazy in this speech and if you only listen to a few minutes of that you will see that for yourself. However she was standing in front of a crowd that ate up every word.

The country dodged a bullet in 2008, but if this woman, and the NRA, continue to have any impact on our politics there are bound to be far more flying around in the not too distant future.

Update: Raw Story is on this as well: 

“Do you know why those clownish little Kumbaya-humming fairytale-inhaling liberals want to be tough all of a sudden and control your guns?” she said. “It’s ‘cuz guys like [Sen.] Al Franken (D-MN) and [Senate Majority Leader] Harry Reid (D-NV), they’re not satisfied with just taking your money and your job, your truck and your property and your rights, your healthcare – they didn’t want to just stop at that.” 

Referring to Attorney General Eric Holder’s suggestion that technology advances, like a bracelet that interacts with a weapon, might help stem the flood of shootings, Palin referenced the many bracelets she wears that commemorate fallen soldiers and various other American causes. 

“You can have these bracelets when you pry them past my cold, dead hands,” she said, echoing a popular NRA bumper sticker from the 70′s.

Damn that is one nasty bitch!
