I of course have too many more important things to do other than read or review this book, such as my laundry, a Sudoku puzzle book, and to pick at that one ingrown hair on my leg.
However there are people out there who are paid to read the book, hopefully well paid, and this is what one of them from had to report:
On losing her Fox News gig:
"I got canned by Fox. At least I think I got canned," she writes in her new book, Sweet Freedom, A Devotional. "I've to this day never actually been told, 'You're outta there,' but my bosses left a message with my husband to make sure I knew they wouldn't be renewing my contract," she adds.
She didn't get mad, though her daughter Piper had earlier said that Fox was her "pet peeve." In an advance copy provided to the Examiner, Palin says, "Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn. That's the media business."
Okay well I actually know that she DID get mad. Very mad. So once again this is bullshit.
Funny that they did not even tell her to her face however.
On the connections between the Bible and the second amendment (WTF?):
In one devotional quoting Exodus and titled "Old Testament and the Second Amendment," she writes that the Bible encourages self defense and urges membership in gun rights groups.
"Today, commit to supporting organizations and leaders who fight for our Second Amendment and oppose those who seek to destroy it," she wrote in the Action area.
And in another quoting Isaiah, Palin pens, "Consider getting a carry permit for protection, and maybe take a friend to a range to enjoy some safe shooting. Self-defense is a God-given right."
What, is this based on Charlton Heston's Bible?
I have read the book all the way through, but I have to admit I am totally blocking the part where it says "Thou shall be prepared to return fire."
I am sure more reviews will be forthcoming, because let's face it Palin attracts web traffic.
However I doubt this book will attract much attention due to its content, or certainly not its standings in the New York Times bestseller list.
Don't you wonder how she had time to search out a year's worth (well, minus weekends) of Bible verses, think about them prayerfully, and then write whatever it is that goes with them, while jetting around the country all summer, to KY a few times, Las Vegas, and wherever else a cheap speech called her, enjoying the beautiful Alaska summer, writing her daily hate messages about the President and liberals, taking care of her husband and the kids, and on and on? And for what? A nice book bonus to keep her afloat for a few months, a chance to get her ego rubbed by her remaining posse, and a few minutes lying on TV, to horrid reviews? Sarah, we are totally not into you. Go away.
ReplyDeleteI have a magazine column to write. I've been working on it for a month, just research, writing starts tomorrow, followed by days of editing, to meet a due date of next week. Maybe 1200 words, tops- yeah it's time-consuming, detailed and well- it's work.
DeleteGhostwriter....
DeleteActually, ghostwriter AND lifting passages from the bible. Not a hard book to write, when half of it is cut and paste Scripture.
DeleteWell, she certainly didn't spend the time actually *reading* the Bible, or she might've noticed the verses pertaining to the mortal sin of "adding or removing one word" of the text and the bit about false prophets.
DeleteClaiming the bible encourages membership in the NRA is blasphemy, as I understand it. Palin continues to be the worst. Christian. Evar.
Oh she's going away alright...being audited right now
Deleteas we speak...making you a little nervous my bright eyes? This is just the first step...next step...coming up in the international courts in Geneva... a report was sent to INTERPOL…they need to know the corruption and security breaches this “crew” takes on the job…they don’t like that over there…they are not as lazy in logistics as we are…but it all "comes out in the wash"...snydness...
All $arah did was Google "inspiring biblical passages". Easy Peasy
DeleteWe have been hearing anout international courts for 5 years.
DeleteGrphen, You say you have contacts. Any truth to this Geneva stuff? It has always sounded far fetched to me.
DeleteThe International Court is in The Hague in the Netherlands, 'Nuff said.
DeleteInterpol is headquartered in Lyon, France. They must have the best weed in Geneva and head tilt has some good memories of days gone by.
DeleteOn her Facebook page Sarah lists two stops on her book-signing tour:
ReplyDeleteCharlotte/Concord NC; 19 Nov; 6:00 PM; Books-A-Million; 8031 Concord Mills Blvd, Concord NC
Orlando FL; 20 NOv, 6:00 PM; Barnes and Noble; 2416 E. Colonial Drive; Orlando
Do you suppose we could entice some IM'ers in these two locations to meet Sarah witH (in)appropriate signs, banners, catcalls, and shouted out questions -- with video???
Of course you know she'll fill her Facebook page with pics of the admiring throngs, gushing over her new book.
I'm sure she'll have her baboons in place to frisk people; no cameras; etc., as in times past.
DeleteFor a book "tour," she has very few engagements, and notice that they are all in the south?
And you can be sure she'll be wearing some of her festive all-black Christmas outfits.
DeleteSome book tour! But then I wouldn't expect one to happen: book tours are expensive, and are a losing proposition for a publisher unless a book has major blockbuster potential. Or if there are deep pockets somewhere able to underwrite the costs. My guess is that a plan is afoot to siphon off SarahPAC funds to support a little Thanksgiving week jaunt to Disneyworld, and the publisher arranged two events in towns that Palin agreed to travel to on her own dime.
DeleteOr maybe a festive leather skirt trimmed with lace, her Louboutin heels and fully inflated bellmonts. Ha!
Delete"And you can be sure she'll be wearing some of her festive all-new Christmas outfits."
DeleteHey, hookers celebrate the season, too.
Not only WILL she have her Baboons preventing anyone from getting too close, or taking pictures, I'm betting for the QUEEN's appearance, it will be NO FUCKING GUNS ALLOWED!
DeleteWhy would that be $arah?
Aren't you for carrying a loaded .50 cal revolver in church, at the school playground , at the grocery, or anywhere else?
WHY can't I bring my AR-15 with the 30 round clip to your book signing you ignorant hypocrite?
Oh, that's only for other people like Gabby Giffords, but you wouldn't want to have a massacre at your book signing right?
Couric's interview was FAIR also too? After 7 years you finally admit it was a crappy answer?
HOOOOHAHHH!
Notice that there is no "line up" for appearances to shill for her book on television talk shows. Maybe the blowback on her appearance on CBS recently is a clue for her lack of invites. The comments are scathing. Bwahahahahah
DeleteGood points, A.J. Billings. I don't own any firearms but if she would come to my area, I could easily round some up since I am a Texan.
DeleteI'm right down the road in Charlotte (to anyone unfamiliar with Concord it's NASCAR country). Have to work that day - oh darn - so won't be able to attend. I did verify the info on their website so she is coming. The BAM she's going to though? Not well thought of.

Is all of NASCAR rightwing?
My " sweet as pie" cousin will ne at the Orlando vrnue. Butter could melt in her mouth as she smiles and tells Sarah she knows she didn't birth a TriG. I pitched in for yhe book as my cousin is on a fixed income. She will ask Sarah to write the book to Ima Leer , SArah Palin.
DeleteOh Saree.
You are the butt of jokes.
@1:04, is the Pope Catholic?
Delete1:04 Charlotte is blue, or most of it is anyway, but the farther out you go the redder it gets. When I moved here NC was a nice shade of purple but, after November 2008, the blue has faded quite a bit. Hmmm, wonder what could have happened?
Delete1:04: NASCAR panders to the 'Dukes of Hazzard' fans. So, yes, I'd say 99.9 percent of NASCAR fans and 100 percent of car owners are right-wing. It's the good old boy network.
DeleteWell you know if she's such a supporter of open and concealed carry, surely she would welcome others of her gun fetish ...ah ideology... Showing up in support?
DeleteIf she wants to claim to live by the old testament shouldn't she have stoned Barstool the first time she got knocked up?
ReplyDeleteStoning Bristol would be hypocritical since Sarah herself as well as her oen mother conceived out of wedlock. Then of course there's Sarah and Brad Hanson's adultry. Sarah should stay out of the Old Testament.
DeleteSarah should do us all a favor stone herself to death.
Delete11.02 :D
DeleteThere plenty drugs at the compound so that shouldn't be hard to accomplish.
DeleteWhat ever happened to the war on Xmas?
ReplyDeleteHey, yeah! I was all locked and loaded to go shoot some Holiday miscreants, but Sarah doesn't say anything about Frosty or Santa or Yuletide Carols! Where am I going to put my tinsel without her guidance?
DeleteHas her pac already bought enough of the book to get it on some best seller list?
ReplyDeleteAs for the NYT, the only best seller list that really matters, they no longer include bulk sales, only individual ones.
DeleteSo illiterate sleazebags like Palin can't game the system anymore.
Don't click on it, don't buy it, don't review it on Amazon, don't even spend minutes of your own life commenting on the hypocrisy. I doubt she will mention endorsing use of the N word, baptizing Muslims as Christians via the waterboard, or commenting on the president being "impotent" and "pulling out too soon". Or maybe she has found justification for that odious behavior in the bible.
ReplyDeleteSure hope that new MOH recipient has her and her daughters blocked on the telephone.
ReplyDeleteNo worries. Odds are excellent that he is smarter than Dumbkota because just about everyone is.

ReplyDeleteSarah Palin, author, riiiiiggghht. She couldn't put together a coherent grade school essay.
ReplyDeleteA good time to point out that "disinterested" means "impartial," as in "a disinterested party will serve as the mediator."
ReplyDelete"Uninterested" means "not interested."
Often used incorrectly.
Thank you, 9:48 am. I drives me up the wall to see someone criticize another's skills when they are just as bad or guilty. Gryphen's writing wouldn't get him out of grade school. It's pretty hard to look as dumb as Sarah Palin but there apparently is plenty of stupid to go around up there in Alasska (sic)!
Delete"I drives me up the wall." It's a typo, of course, but this isn't:
DeleteTo whom does 'they" refer to in your second sentence? This is sloppy writing.
Make sure your own writing is impeccable before you start criticizing others.
"Make sure" ??
DeleteHow about "ensure" ??
True, 11:02 am. This blogger guy is no genius.
DeleteMaybe not a genius, but he is fair since he allowed your comments.
DeleteGryph doesn't claim to be a best selling ghost writer.
DeleteThe ho didn't write one word of her ghostwritten
"Bestsellers". If our posts and comments don't hold up compared to palin's word salad go back to the cesspool from where you came.
I didn't mean to criticize G re my original comment. I find him an excellent writer, with his very interesting take on lots of things, and his enthusiasm and follow-through re things that interest us readers. It's thoughts and ideas that make/break a writer, not grammar, and I'm a Mr. G fan. The disinterested/uninterested thingie is just a special bugaboo of mine. Rarely is the reader unclear about what is meant, no matter how it is used. Just forget I drove up, okay?
DeleteWe forgive you 12:36 pm. Just remember, thou shalt not criticize Gryphen. Both he and many IM readers are very thin skinned.
DeleteCaught your thinly veiled sarcasm 2:01. You're gonna' have to do better than that. Why so crappy?
DeleteHer Heinous made a fool out of you and herself, again? Begone knucklehead.
Do you have a link to were Gryphen has been "thin skinned"? I must have missed it.
Delete12:36 I've probably made the same mistake myself (though I'm really good with apostrophes!) so I learned something. Thanks!
DeleteWhat an awful photo of her! Her huge ears are one of her worst features!
ReplyDeleteNo lobes, frontal also too
DeleteI hope that you weren't critical of Trump when he remarked on Fiorina's appearance. As has blogger dude. People here are really sexist. Criticize her brain, or lack thereof, but save the juvenile insults for trolling at the pee pond.
DeleteI disagree! It's her protruding jaw line! Plus, her pure evil demeanor!
DeleteI don't know, I've always had a soft spot for her cross-eyed, just did hawt yoga, middle finger photo.
Delete$carah got as far as she did using her looks, so so their remnants are fair game. Most women in politics and business have relied on their brains, thus their looks are not.
DeleteShe never uses a current picture. The old hag sure doesn't age well.
ReplyDeleteFirst you said you have better things to do than read her book. Then you said that you read it all the way through. So which is it? Sometimes you talk out of both sides of your mouth exactly the way she does.
When did Gryph ever say that he read it all the way through? He said the BIBLE.
DeleteHe had better things to do than read her book, but he put those things aside to read it all the way through.
DeleteIt's really not that difficult to understand, is it?
She looks youngish and healthy here, pretty even, but look at her bony frame on Trump's couch yesterday with the 700 Club hair. Her looks, as well as her star power, have plummeted.
Delete"What, is this based on Charlton Heston's Bible?

He is saying he has read the bible all the way through, not Palin's witless blatherings.
Gryphen said he read "the book" (the BIBLE) all the way through.
DeleteBless your heart.
9:54, Gryphen said he had no intention of reading it. The reviewer he used for this blog is the one who has finished reading the book.
Delete"Okay so yes today Sarah Palin's third ghostwritten book..."
Delete-------------------------------------
Isn't this her fourth "book"? Rogue, Heartburn, Good Tidings and Great Bullshit, and now this latest waste of a tree, Hopelessly Devoted to Me?
Surely all of these literary zits have been ghostwritten?
Gryphen has read THE BIBLE all the way through, and didn't read any commandment about returning fire.
DeleteSince his comment directly follows a reference to Charlton Heston's BIBLE, it is quite clear. I suspect that Heston used the fiery King James version, but even it doesn't talk about locked and loaded.
Gryphen's writing is ambiguous at best, considering his strange usage of commas and new paragraphs. It isn't your strong suit. Just sayin'...don't get pissed at me.
Delete10:55 Cast the first stone.
Delete10:55
Delete"Gryphen's writing","It isn't your strong suit".
Who's strong suit?
If you buy the book from SarahPAC, you automatically get a raffle ticket to win Bristol's signed chastity belt. The belt is still new-in-box.
ReplyDeleteDear Palin Ghostwriter,
ReplyDeleteYou can't make claims that something is "God's given right", if you can't back it up with a Scripture since that would be blasphemy. Since you are also making a claim that Palin is a Christian, please provide a Scripture from the Gospels where Jesus said to bear arms, and that killing in the "Name of God", is okay.
Ecclesiastes 9:18 Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but just one sinner can destroy much good.+
Using the Old Testament to defend guns is slippery slope indeed. The Old Testament encourages genocide, slavery, polygamy, racism, child abuse, and probably other horrific things.
ReplyDeleteIf she had ever even read the book, she might know that.
Anonymous @ 9:54-
ReplyDeleteSeems to me Gryphen was referring to the Bible, not SP's book, when he wrote:
"'What, is this based on Charlton Heston's Bible?
I have read the book all the way through, but I have to admit I am totally blocking the part where it says 'Thou shall be prepared to return fire.'"
So probably a better plan for you would be to try and understand syntax and meaning before insulting him unnecessarily.
Reading comprehension has never been our little troll friend's strong suit.
DeletePipe says that Fox is her pet peeve?
ReplyDeleteWhat a strange thing for Sarah to bring up in an interview and what a strange way for Piper to say it.
If Piper made a comment at all (doubtful), I bet it was more like, "Mom, why do you watch Fox News when all you do is yell 'Fuuuuuckkkk Yoooooooooouuuuu!!' at the tv?"
Organized religion is the antithesis to freedom.
ReplyDeleteOrganized or not, religions were born from primitive tribes attempting to explain the universe,or ratifying behavioral codes into a societal norm., or from hallucinations brought on by drugs or physical abnormalities.
DeleteNearly any religion I've ever studied requires you to believe in things you can't see, can't prove, and have no way of examining scientifically.
The organized major religions are a literal cancer on humanity.
So much war, violence, suffering, death, rape, sorrow, and tragedy has resulted from religion that it would be the work of a lifetime to even try and enumerate.
But even if we were all atheists, we'd war over what to officially call ourselves.

DeleteMildred
LOL, Mildred!
DeleteThe fact that she had to point out that they made Todd tell her she was canned tells you she is still quite bitter.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile I wonder how many copies SarahPAC will buy to give the illusion her book is popular
Todd was probably torn between laughing and crying when he told her.
DeleteLaughing because Fox News made her look like a fool
Crying because it was a huge loss in income.
Toad was probably thinking mostly about ducking when he told her.
DeleteI find it very entertaining that Fox didn't even tell her to her face that she was getting the boot. What? No farewell party? She was just tossed out like garbage? That has to burn a narcissist like Palin.
Todd probably just wrote it out on a post-it and stuck it over one of the dents on the refrigerator.

ReplyDeletehttp://thinkprogress.org/justice/2015/11/16/3722395/the-little-noticed-conservative-plan-to-permanently-lock-democrats-out-of-policymaking/
I can't relate to daily devotionals used to promote gun ownership and encouraging to be a gun right activist. It seems sacraligious to use the bible to justify or exploit personal political positions.
ReplyDeleteOT In the CBS interview I thought it was a pathetic move to take the interviewer into the Thanksgiving room...ugh garage workshop to show off game meat in the freezer. That did not remind me of greatness to hold highest office nor relevant to be the leader of the free world. Hobbies do not qualify anyone for the presidency.
Devotional? Getting fired by Faux, going to a shooting range is devotional? More like deranged...
ReplyDeleteAs far as her writing skills, well she has none.
Ya think they should put this into church doctrine instead of the bible? It IS published in today's world rather than the stone age. Oh wait, it is mostly stone age quotes, isn't it?
What, is this based on Charlton Heston's Bible?
ReplyDelete-------------
Or John Wayne's, maybe Ted Nugent's? We laugh, but obviously there are people who really think she's right about the bible preaching to join pro-gun groups.

ReplyDeleteSarah, honey, that's life. I hope you "learn" something from being such a loser. One thought: you couldn't make it in the big leagues, either in politics or commenting or life.
Even Fox didn't care enough about you to talk to you in person. That's got to teach you something besides taking it as a reason to bash the "media," including your old beau, Fox.
And, when your employer doesn't wish to renew your contract, that means you were fired. "At least I think I got canned" is disingenuous, as one of your reasons to bash Fox for your few remaining bots. Where will they go for information if Fox is now a bad guy? There's no more Sarah channel.
"Read it all the way through" was referring to the Bible, not Palin's new book.
ReplyDeleteThey are all hypocrites. If Bristol were to come around and admit to or have an abortion, people would jump all over her for that. She is a hypocrite but she gets called a slut here so much that she really can't win. So much for feminists! If someone who claimed to have multiple abortions posted here, regardless of the reasons or circumstances, that woman would be pilloried here. Conservatives are not feminists but neither are most IM readers. Gryphen is one of the most sexist jerks ever and it is a big turnoff, Buddy.
ReplyDeleteYou meant sexiest jerk ever, didn't you?
DeleteSigned: A Feminist
Dear Feminist,
DeleteYou must not have been reading here for very long. Your taste in men is also suspect. My sympathies go out to you.
Most women who have babies before marriage, make certain that it does NOT happen again. Most of them learn the hard way how difficult it is to be a single parent. Why do you suppose Bristles keeps on having one after another? Well, some of them were farmed out to relatives, so how would SHE know how hard it is to be a single parent? Plus, the fact remains that she was never subjected to hearing what people REALLY think of her, so she does not see anything wrong with what she subjects her childre to. Having everyone associated with DWTS sign confidentiality agreements to keep her pregnancy under wraps did her no favors. We ALL saw her growing baby bump week after week. It all comes out in the end, so she might as well get used to being called a slut. What would YOU call a grown woman who is giving birth for the FIFTH time, unmarried? Certainly not SMART. Didn't their Jesus say "Go forth and sin no more"???
DeleteI do not know any woman who has had "multiple abortions" Maybe David Vitter could name a few for you. I would venture to say that a woman who has had mutiple abortions is a sex worker, why else would they constantly become pregnant? A stupid sex worker, who is too dumb to use birth control. There is no defending someone Bristles age getting pregnant numerous times, unmarried.I feel sorry for the kids, they will grow up knowing their mother is a slut.
DeleteMost of us here couldn't care less if Bristol fucks a different person as often as most of us change underwear. What we do take issue with is hypocrisy. Taking money to preach abstinence, yet having two children out of wedlock IS slutty.
DeleteBtw.....my daughter got pregnant at 16. She finished high school early, went to college and got her degree, then she married her daughters father. I love my granddaughter more than my life and I would never shame a young woman for getting pregnant.
HeidiWY
Thank you Heidi for pointing out it's not the behavior (no one's business) but the hypocrisy. And kudos to you and your daughter!
DeleteI know of women who have had two or more abortions. Big deal! Some couldn't take birth control for hormonal reasons and other side effects. Some had condom failures and others had financial issues. The religious right wing nuts want to eliminate abortions and easy, inexpensive access to birth control. It's nobody's business how many abortions a woman has, regardless of the number. And HeidiWY said she would never shame a young woman for getting pregnant, but in the paragraph above, she calls Bristol a slut. Bristol is a hypocrite but her "sluttiness" is nobody's business but hers. No 16 year old has any business having and raising a child, but I'm not going to call her a slut. Stupid, maybe.
Delete@1217
DeleteFirst off I call BS on your multiple abortion friends.
Second. .. Bristol is Not a slutty because she got pregnant, she's a slutty for not practicing what she preaches.
And you are an ignorant troll. Fuck off.
HeidiWY
While Brsitol was pregnant ( before the announcement) she cut down single moms and also cut down families that weren't one man/one woman raising any children in the home.
DeleteIf Bristle didn't have her christian blog to spread hate, no one would say anything about her.
But, by age 24 she should know how to use birth control and if she doesn't she really needs to get educated at the closest Planned Parenthood.
I've know women who had 2 and 3 abortions. As a matter of fact, someone very close to me has had 4 abortions and they had ZERO to do with religion or politics. The reasons why are actually no one's business.
DeleteActually 1:48 pm I do as well. Itvis nobody's business even if a woman was not very sexually active as just used the abortions as birth control. Not every parents wants to raise a DS child and that DOES NOT make them bad people.
DeleteAs for Heidi, you and your stupid, slutty daughter should just fuck off. Not every 16 yr old girl has the financial wherewithal to go to college and get a degree after getting pregnant. Many struggle to pay for college while single and living at home with parents. I applaud them, not you or any of your dumb family. Fuck you!
I once worked with a woman who had five abortions! Five! She never fully told me all the reasons and I didn't want to pry, but it was obvious that they were all difficult. Plus she was married the entire time. Try not to judge, all you pseudo liberals.
DeleteUm, if your husband runs your business and your boss tells your husband that they're not renewing your contract, then you have been fired. How hard is that to understand?
ReplyDeleteAlso what does it mean to say that your job is your pet peeve?
Three Amazon reviews so far -- 2.7 out of 5 stars
ReplyDeleteHere are two of them:
1) Read your own Bible and forget this crap.
By Sojourner Truth on November 16, 2015
Puke. I read about half of this book, borrowed from a friend who received it early this morning via FedEx overnight. His reaction was the same as mine: Nonsense. Palin twists scripture to support her political agenda, which isn't much any more considering the fact that her 15 minutes of fame are long gone.
What I really found stupid was her attempts to connect the Bible with the Second Amendment. In typical rightwingnutcase, gunnut fashion, Sarah tells us the Bible encourages us all to get a carry permit and wander around heavily armed.
Read your own Bible and forget this crap.
2) "Devotional" theme doesn't square much
By book worm on November 16, 2015
"Devotional" theme doesn't seem to square much with the words and public persona Palin chooses to exemplify in her appearances, in my opinion.
As someone said earlier up thread, I hope that EVERYONE who shows up for her book signing at BAM in North or South Carolina and at B&N in Florida are heavily armed to show they are protecting their second amendment rights.
DeleteDarn tootin' she was MAD getting the ax from Fox. Remember her angry screed last January in Iowa where she lit into them and everyone else? Many of us said at the time, "uh oh...looks like someone's contract wasn't renewed."
ReplyDeleteOooh, that's right. Had forgotten about that...

DeleteI live in Charlotte. But the Concord Mills Mall is really far from my house, and frankly, going up there to see her and her fans (or lack thereof) jus doesn't interest me. I did check all of the local news outlets and none of them have covered her visit. But I don't know how soon in advance they would typically do this. I will watch as much as the local news as possible that evening and let y'all know if she received any coverage.
ReplyDeletePoor Sarah, she has idiot stamped on her forehead since the Couric interview. Don't miss the comments!
ReplyDeletehttp://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/sarah-palin-katie-couric-crappy-answer
That cover! The bottom white portion, which matches her teeth, perhaps is meant to imply her purity and goodness?
ReplyDeleteThe upper third, with the shadowy dark woods, perfectly mimics her stringy bangs, as well as giving me the feeling that what's inside her head is dark and shadowy, too.
Wow, you really put a lot of thought into that, probably more than the publisher.
DeleteWhen was the last time she looked anything at all like that cover picture? Sun damage, gravity, and substances from collagen to meth have done a number on her that no book publisher would care to advertise.
DeleteI was thinking the same thing. I'd so love it if Tina Fey would do an updated impersonation of her on SNL. She'd have to show up in a satiny shirt with slit sleeves, a bunch of grungy bracelets, platforms, more extensions, and the stylists would have to be able to make her look like a meth user.
Delete"Sweet Freedom" sounds like a marketing name for a contraceptive.
ReplyDeleteSweet Freedoms is the name of ice cream stuff, drumsticks, etc. They've been around for years.
DeleteI can't get the old Elton John song out of my head. Thankfully, someone saved our lives one night back in 2008 when Obama won.
DeleteSounds like a douche product, 11:01.
DeleteFor someone who is so busy, Gryphen has the time to write three posts on Sarah in less than twenty four hours. He also routinely stalks her and her family's social media accounts, including Pinterest! Sorry, but this is pathetic. What did she do, turn you down in high school for a roll in the hay? Palin is a modern day idiot extraordinaire but this blog gets just as foolish.
ReplyDeleteAs long as she's anywhere near politics, I'll comment as often as I want. She has done great damage to this country.
DeleteWhat did she do you ask?
DeleteShe ran for VP, one heartbeat away from the presidency. She has since tried to influence our political process and policies.
All of the above is based on qualifications which are wrapped in lies.
Thank you G for your tenacity and patience while dealing with idiots such as the one I am responding to.

My view also, Anon at 11:29 am. Until she is brought down by the media, Sarah Palin's fair game.
DeleteBeaglemom
11:08 AM Then why are you here so much, assclown? Your criticism is more jealousy than anything else.
DeleteHow the hell do you know Gryph stalks the idiot unless you're stalking Gryph? He said he was too busy to read her book not write
Deletea quick blog about it. If you're unhappy about how Gryph spends his time then don't waste yours by coming here to get upset.
@11:08 am---- WTF are you talking about, and why would anyone reading this blog care what you think.
DeleteUnlike C4pee, people here can not only disagree, they can outright insult Gryphen, and post rank stinking tripe about his content and character, and he STILL allows your bullsh*t to publish.
$arah Quitter Queen Paylin is finally getting around to admitting it she was a loser, had crappy interviews, and has done nothing but grift since 2008.
If you come here expecting us to exalt your Idol $arah, you are of all humans most to be pitied.
THere's a reason that Ms Iquitarod will NEVER be elected to any public office again, and not just because she'd lose elections; Failed Queen Esther is CHICKEN to run again for anything because she's afraid to lose again.
Oh, and how's the prayer warrior group doing with all their failed prophecies about how $arah is going to be President and save 'Murica?
You fuckwit, 11.08. If you knew anything about Gryphen you'd know EXACTLY what she did to him. Why don't you crawl back into your fetid hole?
DeleteBTW Sarah Palin didn't turn anyone "down in high school for a roll in the hay".
Go educate yourself and don't come back.
Maybe the Palin's should get rid of their public accounts if they don't want people commenting on them?
DeleteMaybe Barstool should find a husband before dropping any more bastards and no one would laugh at her.
No one is forcing you to ever come to this site or read this blog. As for Gryphen, he's a hard ass worker, unlike the Palin's.
DeleteI haven't been reading here for very long so what did Sarah do to Gryphen personally? Do they know each other?
DeleteFor chrissakes I thought everyone knew this story! Gryphen datedcone of Sarah's high school friends & she got preggers. But he wouldn't pay for her abortion and stood her up to accompany her to the clinic so her parents forbade her to see him again. From what I hear, Sarah was very critical of Gryphen.
DeleteAnd there is Sarah's subsequent political career...thank goodness that's been cut short.
Holy Cow! I never knew that and I've read here for years! That is some crazy shit.

"However there are people out there who are paid to read the book, hopefully well paid, and this is what one of them from had to report:"
ReplyDeleteThat's referencing the "Washington Examiner," and still no comments there Don't break the spell!
ReplyDeleteThen said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
Luke 22:36
@11:15 am:
DeleteIf you knew anything about your new testament, you would realize that the context is metaphorical.
That is regarding what Christians would call "spiritual warfare".
esus was not advocating literal self defense, or killing infidels or athiests.
Read up on exegesis, and study the Koine greek and preceding verses that mention the betrayal and the coming tests to Peter and the disciples.
Even an athiest like me can discern a few things.
From just one learned commentary on that passage:
DeleteThey must now expect that their enemies would be more fierce than they had been, and they would need weapons. At the time the apostles understood Christ to mean real weapons, but he spake only of the weapons of the spiritual warfare. The sword of the Spirit is the sword with which the disciples of Christ must furnish themselves.
AJ Billings I don't think Sarah Palin realizes metaphor in any context.
DeleteI got an email from Sarah saying if you donate $50, you get a signed book, if you donate $100, you get the book plus a bear.
ReplyDeleteShe must be hurting for money and has tons of bears to give away. Why not just buy them from SarahPac and donate? I think she is hitting the bottom of the barrel for money, little donations. No more high fees for appearing or interviews.
She will spend tons on money from SarahPac traveling, hotels, etc. for her book tour. Her money will not last long unless she collected a ton of money she did not report. Under the table I mean.
She has plenty of money but because she is cheap she's always trying to live off the PAC money instead of dipping into the family fortune.
DeleteShe never HAD money! Let's get that clear!
DeleteStarting in 1989 they all took part in taking of the pie! Now that the audits began it's all falling down around her...the Bible is her 'excuse' for all the evil she inflicted on folks in Alaska...so confess your sins Sarah!
Isn't it wrote in your devotionals about how you are suppose to confess to all your EVIL doings to others...we are watching and waiting!
Are those the "free" bears that she was trying to peddle last month for $75?
Delete12:43pm
DeleteUnfortunately she did amass a small fortune of around 12 million bucks by selling her books and giving speeches and signing up with Fox News. I can't imagine that even the Palins could blow through 12 million in such a short amount of time. Their still sitting on some bucks, enough to live the rest of their lives without having to lift a finger but Sarah would rather spend the PAC bucks than her own money.
@12:43pm
DeleteThat money has been used to support many and those many are sure living the high life. Multiple house, Dog only knows how many vehicles, private flights, new planes, fancy vacations, it's going very fast. I estimate they have been blowing over a million a year. It's not going to last very long.
Why did Sarah say 45 days till Bristols baby is due, a lie.
ReplyDeleteTomorrow Charlie Sheen will be on NBC saying that he's HIV positive, according to TMZ. So between ISIS and Sheen, there won't be much media space for Hello Quitty.
ReplyDeleteOops...who are you? Rick Fucking Perry? Isn't in your best interests that this book sell well? You make a living soliciting donations in your "search for truth"! If the Palins all drop dead today, this blog mostly consist if proselytizing to religious people about atheism. I've been agnostic all if my adult life but I don't think it's appropriate for me to go around insulting anyone's religious beliefs. Live and let live! Their religion is their business, not anyone else's.
ReplyDelete"Their religion is their business, not anyone else's."
DeleteWhich is why their religion shouldn't be interested in my uterus and the contents thereof.
"Sweet Freedumb"
ReplyDeletefixed it for you.
"Sweet freedumb" is already trademarked by my hardassworking sister. She needs moar money. Send lisence fees to the main compound.
DeleteIs that you Beldar J. Conehead? So you're using a new handle? Cool.
DeleteDidn't Sarah's hero, Chris Kyle, take a friend to the shooting range? That sure turned out well, not.
ReplyDeleteLOL @ FOX chasing Sarah Palin all over the country trying to fire her while she evades them. No wonder they called Dud.
ReplyDeletePoor Sarah having trouble accepting that America- even the Faux News part- actively dislikes her.
I can't wait to see what stunt she'll pull next to try and get some attention. By now the Palin Curse should be a real factor even for a two-bit internet operation considering hiring her. Everything Sarah touches turns to shit.
Is it wrong that I'm smiling?
What gun would Jesus choose? Oh, I forgot. It's Turn The Other Cheek!
ReplyDeleteShe is preaching another gospel. There's warning against that, Sarah.
ReplyDeleteSo Sarah, how does God like being your personal whore?
ReplyDeleteHow many years old is that picture of Sarah Palin? I'm going for six years.
ReplyDeleteWhy would Sarah Palin use an old picture from when she was in her forties? Is it because she looks like an aged cowpat now?
She's probably thinking of the bible verse about beating plowshares into swords.
ReplyDeleteor Matthew 10:34
“Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. "
or Numbers 31:3
"So Moses spoke to the people, saying, “Arm men from among you for the war, that they may go against Midian to execute the Lord's vengeance on Midian."
Maybe.... Exodus 15:3
"The Lord is a man of war; the Lord is his name."
Or probably the most recognized of all.........
Exodus 21:24-25
"Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe."
Why do so many want to pretend that the bible is a warm and fuzzy book of peace? Like other religious texts, the bible is a very violent read.
DeleteAnd then Christ said to turn the other cheek and to love your enemies.
DeleteBeaglemom
She used the internet Bible generator. As usual she is dipping on other folks' works and taking credit for it.
ReplyDeleteAll she has to do is put a key word in the generator and viola passages from the Bible. Next she can choose from her used up, pathetic juvenile snarks.
There you have it a silly book using the word of the lord to hate.
she is a first rate grifter which makes her automatically lazy and dippy.
Gee, Sarah is so inspirational! I wish I could start my own Jesus PAC & write phony devotional books. Maybe I should start praying to get over that darn integrity problem I suffer from. Sucks to have some--really cuts into potential profit margin. /snark
ReplyDeleteSarah says Bristol will deliver the fatherless child in 45 days.
ReplyDeleteAccording to comments on her Instagram page, Bristol was knocked up as the result of a one-night stand in Vegas on Valentine's Day 2015 - 14 February.
Normal gestation is 280 days/40 weeks. However, studies show the real gestation period is more like 268 days/38 weeks + 2 days.
If we apply the 268 - 280 day measure to Bristol, she should deliver between 9 November and 21 November.
Standby.
I kind of hope that she births another Trig.
DeleteIn other words, Sarah & Nancy cherry-picked bible verses and twisted them to support RWNJ politics. Of course she also pretends to believe that government should be based on the bible so she naturally $ells the idea that there should be no separation between church and state. Yep if Sarah were in charge it would be the christian tealiban government. Pretty funny that if you arrange the letters of the name it comes out as Sharia Plan.
ReplyDeleteChrist, how old is tht photo.
ReplyDeleteYa don' t ;ook like that any more Sarah.
What sarah scum did is no different than osteen.
ReplyDeleteOsteen is Exhibit 1 of what is wrong with religion; a cautionary tale rather than an example of how to live.
DeleteWhat? You don't like pious Joel Osteen and his humble wife Victoria? What's the matter with you?
DeleteWhen is it time to break up the big mega churches that bilk from all the weak, unsuspecting rubes?
And yet another feeble attempt for relevancy. You gotta be the most worthless creature in the universe.
ReplyDeleteMs. Palin, please go away. I couldn't stand looking at you. Then I couldn't stand your screech. Now I can stand hearing and reading about you.You look worse then a zombie?
Can someone tell John McCain did not blink an eskimo yet,he catch an Idaho spud.
ReplyDeleteWhy did Sarah say Bristol's baby was due in 45 days?
ReplyDeleteThat's when Franklin Graham will be dropping off a white baby and talking Bristol's half black baby.
DeleteMaybe because Bristol told her that's the day she is having induced labor? Heck who knows?
DeleteFalse narrative....goes with the convoluted story they've got cooked up for media. I'll bet that baby is born if you consider the Valentine's Day Vegas trip. This oughta be good.....
DeleteThey're still trying to sell the tripe about DOH being the spermanator donor to the new bastard. Gotta make somebody pay for the upkeep. You don't expect a Palin to get a real job and have to work to support another mouth to feed, do ya'? Jeesh!
DeleteShe looks like a dumb retard with a retarded smile. BTW that's an old photo..hmmmm
ReplyDeleteBrancy and the Palins aren't coordinating their talking points very well... Two days after this tweet Sarah and Willow were being entertained in the Donald's NY penthouse.
