However as I was getting ready to do this, I happened to look through the comments on the page and realized that folks were already beating me to it.
Take a look:
Emily Allen Most of these were back when the political ideologies of republican and democrats was switched. May I remind you for about 100 years, Texas was a democratic state.
Robert Rebeck If you think this meme tells the whole story and is not misleading, then you are ignorant and uneducated.
Tess Hoff Non comparison. A real history lesson would show how the two parties have completely changed positions since the first three examples. Back when these things were done, the Republican party was progressive. Now the Democratic party is progressive. Same kind of people that were Republican when these issues were current are the same kind of people that are Democrats now.
Ken Green And since the 60's Civil Rights Act, enacted by Democrat Lyndon Johnson along with a Democratic congress, all those southern erstwhile democrats have jumped over the the GOP. They're all Republicans today - so trying to put on the mantle of Lincoln and claiming that the GOP IS enlightened and socially progressive just isn't going to fly...
Drew Christiansen This was also the Republican party founded by Horace Greesly , a free-soilist and Marx-sympathizer. Different context, different time. Of course the right-wing meme creator behind this missed that wink emoticon.
And these were just a sampling of the comments that had not yet been scrubbed by Palin's Facebook Oompa Loompas.
Of course to be fair there were few commenters just as ignorant as Palin in the mix.
Arlene Calabria The really sad part is, this is not in the history books and most African Americans are unaware of these facts. In a way keeping people on welfare for generations is just another form of slavery, it certainly is a loss of freedom.
I guess Palin can always count on a few poorly educated idiots to have her back, but it is becoming increasingly clear that her pool of supporters is drying up faster than a California reservoir.
She is such an idiot. The scene in Game Change comes to mind when the consultants were called in and showed her a map, saying 'so this is Germany...' While she frantically scribbled notes.
ReplyDeleteLOL. Yeah, clueless Sarah, eager to learn something new.
DeleteDoes she think we don't know the Republicans were the Democrats till Johnson signed back to back Civil Rights bills? Does she think we've read nothing of Nixon's 'Southern Strategy?' Didn't the Paul Revere incident show her that referencing history wasn't her long suit?
ReplyDeleteLike she has a long suit?
DeleteHer idiot followers didn't know it, therefore they assume no one else knows it. If you can't simplify it down to a graphic with a few sentences on it, it's beyond them, yet they fancy themselves students of history. They're beyond hope.
DeleteDon't give her any credit for knowing any history. She can't pull the wool over anyone's eyes as she's just as stupid as they are.
ReplyDeleteToo bad she won't give up the grift to run. I would love to see this twit smacked down once and for all. A Clinton/Palin debate would absolutely delicious.
Sarah Palin would not even make it to the Primaries before QUITTING. Sarah Palin is downright stupid. You will not see her in any debate with Republicans or Democrats.What happened to her High School commencement speeches? Dried up? What happened to her oldest daughter getting married? Dried up? What happened to her Pimp purse carrier? Dried up? What happened to her drug addicted son? Dried up? What happened to her Belmonts? Dried up?
DeleteGospel: Not Being Married Is Perverting God's Will
DeletePalin would never get that far. Carly Fiorina and Ben Carson would have a better chance.
Delete3:08, damn, you are right, and your list is actually pretty short! What a toxic fuck-up she is.
DeleteI like the ring of "once and for all" but somehow I don't think that's a thing that happens with Palin. Feel free to talk me down.
DeleteWhat happened to her brother Chucktard's Grift? Dried up? What happened to her 'fitness' book? Dried up?
DeleteWhat happened to her face? Dried up. LOL What happened to her body....dried up!
DeleteOuch.
ReplyDeleteA California reservoir.
Our reservoirs are fuller than Palin's brain.
DeleteSarah's hoping to bring back a new version of the WIG party?
ReplyDeleteI lol'd
DeleteToo stunningly stupid to breathe on her own. I suspect "postage" is a paycheck to someone who tells her when to take a breathe.
ReplyDeleteForgive me please, but this must be said in response to that or so my fevered mind has it: "Day-um them niggahs is dumb!" At least I forewent the all caps, a little credit here.
ReplyDeleteDon't cha know what an awesome historian Sarah is?
ReplyDeletehttp://theimmoralminority.blogspot.com/2015/06/in-1995-book-jeb-bush-suggested-that.html?showComment=1433966758773#c5604477673271634353
And my stupid Teatarded cousin just re-posted it. LOL
ReplyDeleteSo did my sister.
DeleteMuch like with Paul Revere, I was taught in grade school that the parties pretty much completely switched by the 60s. Pathetic how proudly uneducated she is.
ReplyDeleteJust another useless attempt by Sarah Palin to rewrite history. That is one stupid bitch!
ReplyDeleteWell, the McCain staffers were absolutely correct when they said "She knows nothing!" And the very sad thing is that she hasn't learned anything in the past 7 years, She still knows nothing! Even I, a Canuck, knew about the Southern strategy and Johnson saying "If we pass this bill, we'll have lost the south forever". Dumb as a bag of hammers is Simple Sarah.
ReplyDeleteDear Arlene Calabria,
ReplyDeleteI was a white chick when I had me some welfare. And today the rates of black and white welfare recipients are about equal. So fuck you and your puttin' a black face on welfare b.s.
Who is Arlene Calabria? And is this the welfare thread?
DeleteI guess you didn't read the post, 3:52?
Delete(Sarah, is that you?)
Sarah ya ready to apply? Make sure to list resources, all of em!
Delete16 downtown blocks of anchorage hu? Now who owns those actually Sarah? Kind of being fraudulent aren't you??? What will the IRS say? oh shit is right!
DeleteSarah is such a nincompoop. President Lincoln, and President Eisenhower, would be hated by the Teatards today. And, if those teatards could actually read what St. Raygun had done, and said, they would hate him,also, too.
ReplyDelete“Social Security has nothing to do with balancing the budget, or lowering the deficit”. Ronald Reagan
“We establish no religion in this Country, we command no worship, we mandate no belief. Nor will we ever. Church and state are, and must remain, separate. All free to believe or not believe, all are free to practice a faith or not, and those who believe are free and should be free, to speak of and act on their belief. At the same time as our Constitution prohibits state religion, establishment of it protects the free exercise of all religions. And walking this fine line requires government to be strictly neutral”.
Ronald Reagan
“With the right to bear arms comes a great responsibility to use caution and common sense on handgun purchases. And it’s just plain common sense that there be a waiting period to allow law enforcement officials to conduct background checks on those who wish to purchase handguns”. Ronald Reagan
Ronald Reagan gave out huge tax cuts after he was elected. He then had to raise taxes ELEVEN times to make up for it.
Here's an article from the Daily Beast on our dear Sarah...
ReplyDeletehttp://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/06/06/sarah-palin-s-bitter-cry-for-attention.html
Some of the comments are spot-on though:
ReplyDeleteChadáe Frank: So the person that made this graphic is completely unaware of the political stance of the Republican Party in 1865 which was very progressive compared to the Republican Party of 2015 which is the exact opposite. Come on guys this is common knowledge.
Jim Sackett: Many people don't realize the NRA got it's start in teaching newly freed slaves how defend themselves as a gun is the equalizer of men
Kevin Dudley: It is important to note that there was a major shift in ideologies between the parties. The republicans of 150 years ago have more in common with modern day democrats than they do with those of the party with the same name...
And plenty more. I guess nobody's had time to scrub the site yet....
And yet Palin will never acknowledge any of these comments, never admit she's wrong, never learn and do better next time. Just be dumb over and over again.
DeleteI just looked at her FB -- if she deletes all the comments that call her stupid, etc., there would not be many posts left. HA HA!
DeleteShe is a brainwashed cold machine. Bad actor. Not authentic enough to succeed. She is all about Sarah and her servants, that is success for her.
DeleteOver and over and over I am reminded that somehow this stupid, stupid woman was actually a candidate for Vice President of the United States of America, and I think of all the smart, good, decent, hard-working people in this country, and I just don't know how this was ever allowed to happen. How something so amazingly laughable and frightening ever got so close. It's still a bad dream.
ReplyDeleteWe have John McCain to thank for that. And all of the bible thumping, gun toting idiots that think she is their savior.
DeleteGryphen, Palin on extra today.
ReplyDeleteThat woman is a fucking idiot, in every sense of the word.
ReplyDeletePalin is nothing but a parrot repeating words she has learned from her owners, every time she makes a statement it is at least two day's behind everyone else. This fool sits on her ass and let's her "staff" gather information she than reads what others have written and voila! Sarah gives her opinion and it always is unoriginal and matches the extreme right wing party line, she is a bit player in a cast of fools.

ReplyDeleteRNC Chief to Say It Was 'Wrong' to Exploit Racial Conflict for Votes
Mike Allen
Thursday, July 14, 2005
It was called "the southern strategy," started under Richard M. Nixon in 1968, and described Republican efforts to use race as a wedge issue -- on matters such as desegregation and busing -- to appeal to white southern voters.
Mehlman, the Republican National Committee chairman, this morning will tell the NAACP national convention in Milwaukee that it was "wrong."
"By the '70s and into the '80s and '90s, the Democratic Party solidified its gains in the African American community, and we Republicans did not effectively reach out," Mehlman says in his prepared text. "Some Republicans gave up on winning the African American vote, looking the other way or trying to benefit politically from racial polarization. I am here today as the Republican chairman to tell you we were wrong."
Mehlman, a Baltimore native who managed President Bush's reelection campaign, goes on to discuss current overtures to minorities, calling it "not healthy for the country for our political parties to be so racially polarized." The party lists century-old outreach efforts in a new feature on its Web site, GOP.com, which was relaunched yesterday with new interactive features and a history section called "Lincoln's Legacy."
Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean spoke to the NAACP yesterday and said through an aide: "It's no coincidence that 43 out of 43 members of the Congressional Black Caucus are Democrats. The Democratic Party is the real party of opportunity for African Americans."

SARAH PALIN YOUR REPUBLICAN PARTY IS NOT FOR ALL AMERICANS. YOUR PARTY APOLOGIZED IN 2005 FOR THEIR PREVIOUS PRACTICES BUT THEY DIDN'T LEARN FROM THEIR PAST. RECENTLY YOUR PARTY MADE IT HARDER FOR AFRICAN-AMERICANS TO VOTE SO THAT YOUR PARTY WOULD WIN ELECTIONS.
WIKIPEDIA
In 2005,Republican National Committee chairman Ken Mehlman formally apologized to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), a national civil rights organization, for exploiting racial polarization to win elections and ignoring the black vote.[8][9]
I almost have pity for those poor idiots who buy her snake oil, hook, line, and sinker. There isn't a word that quite conveys how truly ignorant she is. Is that a bear in the center or a depiction of her asshole? Just wondering.
ReplyDeleteThe poor thwunk could have spent the days since she aimed at and clearly sunk the entire McCain Campaign. Thanks for the help, Sarah, your hate and vitriol combined with your limited attention span and the pushback to it caused Candidate Obama's landslide win. Not that he NEEDED help from you, but I'm positive a lot of votes were against McCain because he erroneously thought if you had a vagina, it would help him get the female vote. Parading your dysfunctional family and gravid unmarried teen daughter silled the dill.
What poetic justice that, when anyone mentions McCain, your last name comes up comes up next.
Also, too, did you know Hillary Clinton was president of "The Young Republicans Club" on campus? I imagine she's looking up "campus".
Read how she delivered the commencement speech, even in College she showed promise.

This meme is old, worn out, pathetic, and insulting. Rand Paul included it in his speech to the black students of Howard University 2 years ago. The students weren't persuaded and set him straight in the Q&A.
ReplyDeleteNo matter how much the right wing tries to change the English language, the word is "Democratic" party, not "Democrat."
ReplyDeleteShe is so dishonest. SHE is the one who obviously needs the history lesson. But her uneducated, biased leghumpers either don't know the difference, or are perfectly willing to go along with her cynical distortions of history..She really is despicable.
ReplyDeleteI know and it's going to be fun to draw that out of her in the courtroom!
DeleteBlessed is the man

Quoting Quiverfull: Alleged Sexual Abuse is the Mother’s Fault?
http://www.patheos.com/blogs/nolongerquivering/2014/03/quoting-quiverfull-alleged-sexual-abuse-is-the-mothers-fault/
Just when you think this woman cannot get any more stupid and inarticulate, she outdoes herself. The sad thing is that every dumbass statement she makes never really has to do with others and their troubles. It is ALWAYS about poor little Sarah who really, according to her warped mind, was cheated out of the vice-presidency by some Kenyan guy and knows that nobody in this country takes her seriously now. Considering how she conducted herself during the 2008 campaign and the constant display of her vast and shocking ignorance and penchant for deception, she should now retire and concentrate on being a responsible parent and a good citizen. Never gonna happen, I know. Poor Trig, poor Piper.
ReplyDeleteRemember what her handlers said about her during the VP run: "She doesn’t know anything. Nothing. We have to start from scratch.” The breadth of her ignorance about world history is appalling and inexcusable. She is so stupid she doesn’t know how stupid she is. She is a delusional narcissist who thought she was up to the job through some type of divine edict. It makes me sick to think such a person was even considered.
ReplyDeleteAny 10th grader paying attention in an American History class understands the evolution of the Republican and Democratic parties. Palin learned all she thought she needed to know at church.
Geezus, I thought she said she learned everything she needed to know playing high school basketball while sitting on a deep bench, a really deep bench.
DeleteTo 5:19: Sarah proved those campaign handlers to be spot on with their assessment.
