Palin will be at the gun club from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. signing books and taking pictures with people who attend. Though no personal photography will be allowed as a free professional photographer will be at the event.
Her new book titled ‘Sweet Freedom: A Devotional’ was released Nov. 16, which is Palin’s fifth publication released since the 2008 presidential election.
An event promoting a book called "Sweet Freedom" which takes away people's freedom to takes photographs? Gee, nothing hypocritical about that.
Hard to imagine how tone deaf somebody would have to be to hold a book signing at a gun range while people in the country were mourning the death of their loved ones due to gun violence.
Not to be outdone Ted Cruz held a "2nd Amendment Event" at a shooting range in Iowa yesterday.
Two incredibly disgusting people.
Update for those who can stomach it:
Here is Palin's appearance at Ronald Reagan's ranch yesterday.
It is really just more of the same.
She sure has ch"aged" since that pic from 2006. Should put up the one with the get up she wore at CPAC.
ReplyDeleteYeah, she just doesn't dare put up any current pictures, does she?
DeleteShe is still stuck in her 2008 glory days and will never move on, although time certainly has.
I am writing to the YAF people, as I did with CBA, to tell them that no PayMe has been seen in a place of worship for at least 5 years. Tripp and Trig receive no Bible study/Sunday school .... And that NONE of the PayMe's have a job. Won't matter but it makes me feel better. I hope other IMers do the same - we must keep calling these lying hypocrites out!
DeleteThey say join her at the Reagan Ranch. Then Reagan Ranch Center. It was the Center, not the Ranch where she was this time. Hosted by the Young America’s Foundation.

I took one for the team and watched a bit of the revolting Reagan Ranch appearance. It is more of the same - her stupidity and ignorance continue to astonish me (fuck you McCain) - she boasts about working her way through college and says everyone should do that. My daughter's tuition is $60K annually but how would Palin know about that? She has never sent anyone to college!
ReplyDeleteMore interesting to this IM'er is her admission that she tells her kids, "If the blog bothers you, don't read the blog". Gotta be us. Hi Bristol! Hi Baldy! Nice wig action.
She seems to think Jeebus is a gun-worshipping personal life coach. WHAT A DOPE. Keep up the good work, Gryph. Love IM.
I have 2 college degrees and have worked full time for more than 30 years in two professional but low-paying fields.
DeleteI STILL don't make $60K a year and likely won't make it to that level before I retire (IF I can afford to retire before I'm 85).
'Working your way through college' and graduating without the overwhelming burden of student loans is just about impossible for most people these days.
I also too listened to her tripe. My plan was to just watch enough to check out her hideous choice of clothing but like a train wreck ended up watching the whole damn thing.
DeleteI just continue to be stunned by what are questionnably semi literate people that sit and listen to $arah string together a bunch of words that make absolutely no sense and then applaud!
$arah had to throw in milqutoast 3 times along with mamby pamby several times. What an idiot.
There are options to college tuition. Catching on around here are duo-enrollments while a kid is in high school. The state pays the community college tuition and the kid graduates high school in five years with an associate's degree in a skill field. They can then continue at a 4 year, or get a job immediately, or both. It's working well for a certain group.
DeleteYep. Great idea. Why would Palin bother to learn (haha "learn" and "Palin" in the same sentence) about it though when she can just lie about her own ancient college experience or tell kids to "get a job".
DeleteWhy didn't Bristol, and now Willow, enlist in the military to defend our country?
DeleteThere are a bundle of ways to get a college education without going into massive debt. Work, then study, then work, etc. A college will work with you to make it do-able.
The poor ex-students saddled with huge debt are by and large made up of veterans and others who are promised the moon by for-profit colleges (the kind run by Mitt Romney's friends and other conservatives). They take the military education benefit, have the students sign onto massive debt, and don't work to keep the kids in school. Student debt is the only kind that can't be erased through bankruptcy or death, thanks to the US Congress.
Anyway, Sarah can't talk about the liberality pervasive on college campuses since she hasn't been on one for thirty years.
Why aren't her own kids working their way through college? Like Barstool they must be allergic to work.
DeleteWell, I do not know about Willow but Bristles has been servicing her country men since she was 15. That is HER way of keeping up morale.
DeleteSo many kids joined the National Guard, starry eyed at the thought of helping out the community in natural disasters and then having tuition assistance, just like in the incessant TV ads. But they ended up in the middle east, came home battered and bruised physically and mentally.
DeleteAs with all things involving Mrs. Palin no thought is given to the inappropriate appearance at a gun club in the wake of these events, of course given the fact that we have a shooting rampage about every week the pistol packin mama would be hard pressed to find a more suitable date for her book signing. It's hilarious that she surrounds herself with this culture inasmuch as she doesn't know her way around firearms or much else involving the outdoors other than how to get the hell INDOORS. She ought to be enshrined in a fucking tanning bed. What a gal.
ReplyDeleteBad at family, energy, Christianity and guns, no wonder she needs notes in her tan stained claws.
Delete"Does it kick, Daddy?"
DeleteFunny. She asked that about her first baby too.
DeletePlease oh PLEASE someone tell me how this harpy is x-tian in any way. I'm waiting for it and HAVE been waiting for it for years.
ReplyDeleteIt's because she fits right in with all the other x-tians listening to her dog whistles and gobbling up the red meat she dishes out.
DeleteGroup self-identity. That's how.
Mass killings don't bother her, she laughs them off, bitch.
ReplyDeleteI think some of these people love mass killings especially if they involve brown people. It is like a war cry to go out & buy more guns. The gun companies are making a killing, literally.
DeleteShe is complicit in a mass killing. She put a target on Gabby Giffords. That's who conservatives want to cheer - a woman with blood on her hands. What hypocrites to call themselves Christians.
DeleteYes, complicit and the instigator.
DeleteShe truly brings all the negative thoughts about her through her idiotic actions. She's (and Todd) have been making many poor decisions for years.
ReplyDeleteI think she is one of America's terrorists! Remember, Todd had a seven or eight year membership with the Alaska organization called AIP. The group wanted Alaska to succeed from the Union!
Sarah gave their organization a speech when she was Governor of Alaska - before she quit!
No one sees anything of Todd anymore and many suspect they are no longer husband and wife (whether through the court system or not!).
Sarah has dropped magnificently as to coverage that is supportive and positive of her - across the nation!
Sincerely feel for their kids having to live with their legacies after they are both dead, burned or buried.
AIP baby. She only switched to Republican to get anyone to pay attention to her as legitimate.
DeleteAIP ALL THE WAY.
secede
DeleteSally - correction noted - thank you!
DeleteAlso, she didn't give a speech to the AIP organization but she did welcome the group when they had their yearly state meeting.
DeleteShe filmed a video speech for the AIP. It's been posted on this site and should be easy to find if you Google it.

JOLLIES JOLLIES AT CHRISTMAS FOR ALL!
I didn't think it was possible for anyone to have a more grating, annoying, ear splitting voice than Mrs. Todd Palin. But that moderator is right up there.
ReplyDeleteAnimals must have been howling and windows and mirrors all over the ranch must have been shattering for the length of this interview. I quit listening when my fillings started to crack.
Sheesh.
She sucks. It's not surprising she never became a broadcast journalist.
Delete8:15 AM, for her one attempt at it, I'd like to see her explain any sports event without a teleprompter. It has to be as good as she knows world politics.
DeleteShe wasn't speaking at the actual 'ranch'. Just a downtown meeting room downtown staffed by the long-time non-Reagan owners of the 'ranch'.
Delete1010. Right she was downtown, the lower area.
DeleteNot at Ranch. The downtown place is nice. Rich and mega rich conservatives. Many as bad as Sarah. It is for conservatives and brainwashing youth.
The Reagans have nothing to do with it now. I think Michael may visit. The billionaire that bought the paper, SantaBarbara NewsPress from Time is involved with it. The billionaire destroyed the local paper and many quit reading it. The billionaire would print that Sarah was here. Since I don't take that paper anymore I haven't read anyplace else that Palin was here. I have to get that news from Alaska or anywhere else. The fringe tea bags would know about Sarah. No one else mentions her, may be a joke or two.

In Santa Barbara, Palin May Keep A Billionaire Publisher On The Sidelines
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/09/17/601270/-In-Santa-Barbara-Palin-May-Keep-A-Billionaire-Publisher-On-The-Sidelines
I think it's safe to say that voters in the Santa Barbara area appear to be solidly behind Barack Obama. In last June's presidential primary the number of Democrats in the county voting for Obama was almost twice the number of Republicans voting for John McCain.
And a McCain bumper sticker or yard sign is about as rare a sight in these parts as a telephone booth.
So what do Santa Barbara's columnists and commentators think of Sarah Palin, McCain's choice for VP?
Except for that Bullwinkle thing. Or the fact that as governor of Alaska Palin has supported the aerial hunting of Wolves. For a newspaper publisher like McCaw, who insists that even coyotes be given an even break in News-Press articles, that could easily be a deal breaker as far as an endorsement of the McCain ticket.
It will be interesting to see if McCaw endorses according to her conscience or her pocket book.

As I have mentioned before: Numbness in the nether regions is far too facile an explanation for the apparent disconnect that woman suffers from the reality most of us enjoy.
ReplyDeleteFinally, her photos are going for what they are worth - FREE. Trying to reinvent herself as a fine upstanding, Christian woman. We know better, $carah.
ReplyDeleteTechnically not free - you have to pay to attend the event. I notice they push the "free" picture thing at her book signings as well - what they don't mention is, unlike other book signings - people have to pay for tickets for hers. Free my a**
DeleteLOST
DeleteThe Belmont Twins - Has anyone seen them? They have not been seen in public in months.
I think Bristol borrowed them for postpartum milking of the rubes.
DeleteShe wore them recently, but I don't remember what the event was. I'll post it if I remember.
DeleteNo room for the belmonts when you have to wear a bullet proof vest to protect yourself from the gun nuts you encourage. Never know when a gun will accidentally go off at gun clubs.
DeleteHas anyone seen the "free" picture? Is she posing with the customers at the event? Are the picture old ones? Autographed? Automated?
DeleteWHAT A LIAR!!! Here is the history of tuition at UC Berkely, a pretty good university: http://www.dailycal.org/2014/12/22/history-uc-tuition-since-1868/
ReplyDeleteAt the time $HE went to college, tuition was virtually FREE - at community colleges, one only had to pay some fees, which amounted to maybe $500/YEAR! So, OF COURSE this skank was able to 'work' (cough, cough!) her way through college! Nowadays, $he would be standing outside at the sign of a community college and maybe 'wish' she could attend!
She'd be asking Jeebus to drop some money on Chuckles Sr
DeleteWhen I retired from a community college two years ago tuition and fees were already around $5K. That's a lot of "extra" cash for someone already barely making ends meet. (Most students were adults, not kids). The state university tuition and fees (no room and board) is close to $20K.
DeleteCan attendees open-carry?
ReplyDeleteYou know; assault rifles, extended magazines...
I'm just asking because, you know - freedom.
freedum?
DeleteBelieve you me, $arah's handlers check ALL weapons at the door. Gryph has spoken if this before.
DeletePalin is well aware that there are many out there that would love nailing her in the ass - in more ways than one.
DeleteShe lives in constant fear! Must be so much fun being a part of the Palin klan!
She is finally having to WORK for her money, and it is nowhere near what she used to take in. A pittance of what it used to be. Could not happen to a more deserving racist piece of lying grifting crap.
Delete'resident undergraduate fees: $505 per semester' : THAT was the cost of attending U Idaho in 1985! Got this from googling 'tuition history of U Idaho' on their wikipedia site.
ReplyDeleteCAUGHTCHA LYING AGAIN, SKANK!!!
I just wish that people would call her out to her face about all her lies!
She wasn't a resident of Idaho, but she was eligible for the Alaskan student loan program, which at that time forgave up to 50% of the loan if you completed a degree and resided in the state for ten years afterwards.
DeleteOf course it's not at all clear that she completed a degree, but in any case, the Alaska student loan program makes it very easy to pay for college.
Nothing says WWJD like selling a so-called Christian devotional at a gun club.

DeleteEven later, tuition was very reasonable:
ReplyDelete1992 - UI receives its own zip code: 83844 - November
resident undergraduate fees: $648 per semester [62]
1995 -
resident undergraduate fees: $810 per semester
It's never too late for her to go back and earn a degree!
DeleteIn the late 80s early 90s I paid about $10,000/yr for my son to go to UC Santa Cruz. I have friends now paying $33k for their daughter to go there.
DeleteNot quite sure how she ended up at this particular gun club?
ReplyDeleteThey don't seem like a good fit for the born again holy bitch.
I found not find a single religious reference nor any sign of low rent mentality that she resembles?
I will watch for updates. And do more research.
It's a gun club.
DeleteIt's the 6 Flags Magic Mountain stop: surely the final little bribe for Willow.
DeleteFrom my christian perspective, I can't understand how the students for Reaganism see any fruit in Sarah Palin's speech. These people are Reaganites followers first, Christ followers second. They chose the man before God, which is in direct disobedience to scripture. They want to glorify the man and his message rather than scripture, they want a dominion empire on earth. The message of the cross is offensive to them. Real christians know that they are pilgrims of this world and will never have the upper hand in this world.
ReplyDeleteSarah sounds very uncomfortable talking about her personal faith; in fact, she conceals her preference to mammon for these speeches, but doesn't succeed; she doesn't talk the way a true christian would want to express, to a crowd of like-minded believers. She never once gives God any glory, never once asks the crowd to lower their heads in prayer, as she leads them in prayer. She is totally not comfortable and is out of her league. She is vague and uses words carefully that exempt her from talking about a forgiving God, who requires obedience in propriety and expression.
How can cursing and blessing come out of the same mouth, the bible asks. It's not possible. Either one or the other, so why Sarah, do guns and sweet freedoms and nationalism have anything to do with the gospel? It doesn't. But, she tries to grind the two in together, and if the woman has one iota of a convicted heart left, she is squirming in her seat, because she has to know she's going against the Word she proclaims to know so well.
The fact she charges people to buy a book that she claims to have written to encourage others is wrong. A real christian would share their testimony free of charge. These silly written devotionals are all grievous to the God of the NT, all she has to do is read it. But, these charlatans don't want to hear that. They use the bible to profit, while they slander and slaughter with their appeal to heaven and demand that God condones their idolatry of guns, weapons, protection of freedoms, stealing of world oil, military prowess.
"If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; he is proud, knowing nothing; but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmising. Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness; from such withdraw theyself.........For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can cary nothing out.......but they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil; which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows."
Would you just shut up?!
DeleteActually, 8:12 AM, a valid point is made here by the commenter for what Queen Heifer claims to be and what she actually is.
DeleteThat's a bit rude 8:12. Just skip over the comment.
DeleteThis is amazing. You nail her corruption so well. I'm sure you're not the only christian to see it. I don't think she would ever be allowed into the televangelical circuit. She'd have to study the bible, and Sarah doesn't do study. Only flimflam.
DeletePosting a comment that is so long is pointless. Give the Reader's Digest version or start your own blog.
Delete7:37
DeleteAre you proselytizing?
Whose proselytizing, 9:39 AM? Gryph's been calling this out for years! Also too, did Jesus.
DeleteWow, what a bunch of mean assholes, and you complain about c4p. Two sides of the same coin.
DeleteWhy are a few calling out 7:37? I thought it an excellent and thoughtful comment. This is the comment section, right?
Delete7:37, unfortunately, you failed to spew profanity, ask where Todd is, call Brissys baby 'cletus' or mention c4p. We do not allow thoughtful insights, especially long ones, unless you are in step with our stone throwing. Nor have some here learned the art of moving on, if not interested in a particular post. Yet, we are the tolerant ones. I am sorry. You did not deserve such rudeness. :-)
DeleteReally, 10:05 AM? "mean assholes?"
DeleteCalling out hypocrisy can certainly be a tough ride for those on the end of it.
For all of you (or one trying to seem like many) upset about 7:37 post and telling them not to post. Did it occur to you that this is Gryph's blog and Zhe had no problem letting that post through? It's HIS blog. Not yours. And he let that comment through. Personally, I appreciate hearing from a thoughtful Christian who is calling Sarah out from a different perspective than most of us who read and comment here.
DeleteBravo, 7:37 AM - BRAVO!!
DeleteWhat I don't understand is why a politician would talk about religion or pray in public in any circumstance.
DeleteReligious beliefs are private and have no role in the public and political domains.
It's so obvious she thought she was in some competition in the 2008 election, as she parrots her 'I came in second out of two' squawk.
ReplyDeleteShe says there's still lots of time to choose a preferred candidate for nominee. She won't give a name, because she's waiting to see who stays up in the polls. She has to yield to the polls, to see who she can butt-lick until the nomination. She proves she has NO FREEDOM at all; she's too afraid to endorse a candidate for fear she'll choose the loser and won't get perks and rewards. She's always in fear. Fear of losing the con, and the money, and the homes, and Todd's toys, and living like the little people.
LMAOed at her "came in second out of two." What an absolutely stupid, vapid woman. You LOST, toots, and don't have the guts to run yourself because you would find out exactly what the "rill" America thinks of you once and for all without being able to blame it on anyone BUT yourself.
DeleteBetter to "work" (hahaha) underneath and incite hatred because poor baby didn't get the crown once again.
Exactly.
DeleteActually, it was 4th out of 4.
Delete8:54 Yes, it WAS 4th., but in her mind SHE was top of that ticket.
DeleteThe cost of college these days is an outrage that will take some real political push to correct. Palin is too lazy and stupid to propose anything beyond join the army or work at McDonald's. It is enjoyable though to hear her say she was fired by Fox.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter, $30K in debt from a graduate degree, told me her friend in Germany didn't pay a cent for her masters- nor for the birth of her child. High taxes? Worth it! You pay one way or the other.
DeleteFascinating that a few weeks ago she "thought" she was canned, Todd having taken a phone message from Fox.
DeleteIM and others must have convinced her that she really was fired. So now she makes up a story to defend herself: she was just too much of a maverick and criticized one of the Foxes, so they fired her.
Pathetic.
The Capitalists are running amok in every phase of our lives. We, the citizens of this country, are under increasing pressure to maintain their profit margins, and to meet their income forecasts.
DeleteI am afraid that the strain is becoming too much.
I didn't pay a penny for my master's, from a top school right here in the US.
DeleteHowever, I did have to meet the same standards as those in Europe who get into the free universities, I had a nearly perfect undergraduate GPA and scored in the 95 percentile of the GREs.
The same people who are eligible for a free education in Germany also don't have to pay here. Their system is incredibly competitive and it starts at age 13 with tests that determine what type of high school the kids can attend. If they don't pass that test, it's virtually impossible to go to university. At age 13, your fate is sealed.
The system in Germany has plusses and minuses, but don't focus on one and ignore the rest.
Only a selfish, hateful exploitative jezebel would sell her 'christian' wares and charge for photos of herself at a gun club right after 14 people were gunned down. Only an evil greedy narcissist would smile and pose with gun lovers, while the community in San Bernardino is still in pain, and victims funerals are happening.
ReplyDeleteWhy yes that s "Our Sarah".
DeleteNo. Photos are "Free." She did used to charge for them, and earlier in this book charade, she even sold tickets to get into an event. That was such a dud, that now there are no tickets and a keepsake photo of you with your devoted divine angel of integrity will be yours just for showing up (although you might have to purchase a book or 10 to even enter into the same room with the Pathological Princess.)
DeleteShe's good as long as she's not in "the temple."

Why mass shootings don't convince gun owners to support gun control
...Guns have become a last-ditch effort to impose control on a world slipping away
Let us imagine, then, a conservative gun owner — an older white gentleman, let's say, in his 50s, living in the Rust Belt somewhere. When he was growing up, there was living memory of a familiar order: men working in honorable trade or manufacturing jobs, women tending home and children, Sundays at church, hard work yielding a steady rise up the ladder to a well-earned house, yard, and car.
That order was crumbling just as our gun owner inherited it. The honorable jobs are gone, or going. It's hell to find work, benefits are for shit, and there isn't much put aside for retirement. The kids are struggling with debt and low-paying jobs. They know, and our gun owner knows, that they probably aren't going to have a better life than he did — that the very core of the American promise has proven false for them, for the first time in generations.
It's a bitter, helpless feeling. And for someone naturally attuned to "order, structure, closure, certainty, consistency, simplicity, and familiarity," it's scary. The role he thought he was meant to play in the world, the privileges and respect that came along with it, have been thrown into doubt. Everything is shifting under his feet.
Over the last few years, our gun owner has found a whole network of TV channels, radio shows, books, blogs, and Facebook groups that speak directly to his unease. They understand the world he heard about from his father and grandfather, the world that's being lost; they understand the urgency of saving what's left of it.
Most of all, with his already heightened sensitivity to threat further aggravated by economic uncertainty, they finally help him see who's to blame. They show him the immigrants crowding in, using up jobs and benefits that were promised to American workers. They show him minorities demanding handouts that are paid for with his taxes, even as they riot, even as they kill each other and the police. The show him terrorists making a mockery of weak American leadership. They show him elitist liberals, professors and entertainers, disdaining his values and mocking his religion.
And it is such a relief, to finally put a face to all the ambient dread, to have some clarity again, to know who the good guys and bad guys are. Our gun owner is a good guy, thankfully, from the kind of self-reliant stock that settled this country.
http://www.vox.com/2015/12/4/9845146/mass-shootings-gun-control
These are all very good points. I know a person who is vocal and angry that their family of four can't afford extras or save money for retirement by working less than one combined full time job. It is a mentality that things and living expenses should be as they were for her parents four decades ago and extreme economic belief that no inflation of costs have ever occurred.
Delete...t seems like America's decline is a done deal, that the tide of liberal rot is unstoppable. But the one place he knows he can draw the line is at his door, on his private property, because he has a gun. He can defend his own. If the minorities riot again, or immigrant criminals move in nearby, or terrorists attack, or some wackjob goes on a shooting spree, or Obama comes for his guns ... well, that's what the guns are for. He's given up a lot, but he won't give up his autonomy or the safety of his family. He'll defend that to the end.
ReplyDeleteTo our gun owner, another mass shooting is not an argument for getting rid of guns. It's a confirmation of his every instinct, another sign of moral and societal decay, another reason to arm himself and defend what he's got left.
You can tell him about Canada and Australia until you're blue in the face — the lower rate of gun deaths, the hunting exemptions, the seemingly intact freedoms. You can cite high popular support for restrictions on gun and ammunition sales. You can tell him that not every incremental tightening of standards is a slippery slope, that no one wants to confiscate his guns.
But you're just another self-righteous liberal on another self-righteous crusade, too blind or stupid to see how governments always use people like you to disarm their citizenry. You've taken enough — of his taxes, his freedoms, his culture. He won't give you any more.
I'm afraid you're right and it's frightening and depressing as hell. Seems that the more outrageous the violence (which almost always stems from the fanatical right wing of any country).....the more the simple-minded (and also right-wing) demand their completely unfettered "gun rights".
DeleteThe new theory is violence patterns are similar to a virus, and we are in urgent need of a broad-spectrum antibiotic.
The right wing has succeeded in framing our social issues in this way. Every act of violence, every hardship in modern life, is because of liberal politicians, and most especially Barack Obama.
DeleteI hold to the belief that someday in saner times, history will appreciate what a treasure we had and will realize how shameful it was that he was demonized by so many for attempting to instill common sense in a nation of (mostly) idiots.
Very well said 8:05. Sadly.

I don't have a TV anymore, but I remember several years ago, there were movies popular about the future world - where the 'good' guys had to live underground, and the world on top was ruled by thugs and gangs with bigger and bigger guns and weapons.
DeleteSounds to me like we are heading towards that type of world, and are almost there already. Here in the US, we have the white thugs roaming the streets free and openly, displaying their weapons and armor to everybody. The rest of the world right now is holding their collective breath with the DAESH group hitting innocent people seemingly randomly. (Wait for Christmas... I am pretty sure they have planned some 'surprises' for the western world. Maybe another Paris attack, maybe one in London - or in Washington, DC...

Well said, 10:55 AM.
DeleteI suppose it doesn't really matter, but she was not at the Reagan Ranch, she was at the Reagan Ranch Center, which is in downtown Santa Barbara. And that was a very small crowd that coughed up the $45 to hear her screech. I sure noticed how uncomfortable she is in her own skin, always fidgeting, scratching her nose, etc.
ReplyDeleteListening to her talk would make for a great drinking game:
God doesn't drive parked cars;
Mambi-pambi milquetoast;
Man...
Servants heart;
True patriots;
Go along to get along;
Buck up or stay in the truck;
Organic meat wrapped in fur;
We just have to shoot it first;
Trig, he being our greatest gift from God, also, too;
This once great nation;
If you love your freedom, thank a vet;
Sweat is my sanity, man;
Donald Trump calls it like he sees it, he's a true fighter (fist pump);
Blah, blah, blah
Are you drunk yet?
Did she really say "mamy pamby?"
DeleteThe correct phrase is "namby pamby."
She is very uncomfortable in her skin, she reminds me of a relative who is very elf conscious. Exactly the same fidgeting only when the attention is on her. I think it has a lot to do with her knowing she is in over her head in front of an audience so is nervous.
DeleteAnother habit my relative has is becoming bombastic as a defense when she feels like she's about to be found out for how little she actually knows on a subject.
I call her Sarah behind her back :)
Ha! Thanks for the correction. It does matter because it exposes yet another lie. All her yapping about riding a horse leads the viewer to think she's at the old addled geezer's ranch - not a downtown hall. Those eejit YAF'ers should have saved their $45 to help pay for their college tuition.
Delete8:36, one of her fans at the pond said whenever he thinks of the Reagan Ranch (who does that??) he pictures the two of them on horseback. Wasn't there a pic she used showing her with him photoshopped riding alongside? The nut probably thinks it really happened!
DeleteSarah Palin was at the Reagan Ranch February 2011. Reagan died June 5, 2004 (aged 93)

Former Alaksa Gov. Sarah Palin considers herself a "western conservative in the spirit of Ronald Reagan." Patti Davis, Ron Reagan, Michael Reagan
While the Reagan children have found the comparisons -- and the extent to which politicians will go to make them -- highly amusing, they say they are intrinsically contrary to Reagan's personal philosophy.

Young America’s Foundation hosted Governor Sarah Palin for the keynote address at the opening banquet of our Reagan 100 weekend. This weekend marks the 100th anniversary of Ronald Reagan’s birth. Celebrations are taking place across the country, but this is a particularly significant weekend for our organization—since the spring of 1998 we’ve been preserving Ronald Reagan’s beloved Ranch home in the mountains north of Santa Barbara, Rancho del Cielo. Today Ronald Reagan’s Western White House is a place where young people come to be inspired by the life, the ideas, the character of Ronald Reagan.

In that video, she uses her tired "Buck up or stay in the Truck". She used, "God doesn't drive parked cars" AGAIN!
ReplyDeleteIn the CBN interview, Sarah used her tired old story of not having anyone to pray with before the VP debate, and how Piper prayed with her and thought it was cheating. Same old same old. She has no new stories in her mind to sway other christians into believing she's one too. She's going to have to do better than this. These repetitive stories that she digs out at each and every speech, book, event has to rub her crowd the wrong way. Never a new angle, no new material, always the same Sarah-isms.
It might keep on working because the audiences appear to be almost as stupid as she is. Not as stupid - impossible to reach that level - but close. See Food Stamps Pete, for example.
DeleteThis is hard ass working tho dontcha kno?
DeleteYeah, well, Willow asked her why she was pretending to be something she wasn't in the same instance.

Hey drlager, I was visiting some friend recently and heard this great new band, the dead vg. They were so good and my date, big swinging Dick and I are now huge fans!
DeleteI am going to start visiting soap and RHOBH fan sites and ask Eileen Davidson how proud she must be of her sis, the muse! That might be fun, especially if I screen capture some of January's Obama comments to share.

i even tried using the "the deadVG" over at rightscoop, lasted all of one post...
Some excitement over at the PeePond. One of their keepers supposedly heading to the Gun Club today to see the old bag in the flesh.Like when she met the Virginia "Gentleman" at that Walmart.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cesspol of rage fear and unkindness over there. Several sound like they could be dangerous if they weren't nursing home residents or living in New Zealand. Just the fan base Pain deserves.
Once she scurries back to Alaska or Arizona today it should be the last we see of her for a while.
Recently quite a few of the regular PeePond Palin worshipers have come to realize that Queen Esther isn't going to run, and they have another 5 years of eating dirt.
DeleteOh the agonies they've suffered and endured waiting for Wasilla Witch to run for office!
"a cesspool of rage and fear " is a perfect example of their words and lives.
Many are actually leaving, or have left, because $arah has abandoned them, and they see no purpose any more.
HOOOHAHH you fools, we could have told you that in July 2009 when she became the QUITTER!

TheresaAK a year ago was dissing anyone who dared to suggest that $arah would not become President, and quoted her prayer prophet friends who said it WOULD happen.
DeleteST LouisX is one of their most deranged and angry
lunatics. He's been exploding like a volcano every week when President Obama announces a new initiative or proposal.
LouisX is a truly fanatical Opus Dei nutcase, and has never faltered in pitching hatred and bile at anyone who dares to oppose his views on any subject.
There's a special place in Nirvana for anyone who could convince LouisX to abandon C4Pee,
I have presented hard cold facts to him on other blogs, but he never responds. I think he's like most bullies, a big blusterer, but a chicken when faced with $arah's lies.
He's due for a take down, and heart attack based on hatred.
The c4pers who are left hang around because the site is their social life. Can you imagine the children or grandchildren wanting to spend time with these hate-filled fear mongers?
DeleteSadly, most are as rabid for Trump as they were for Palin-who could have seem that coming!
And, a few of them are truly disturbed, like mark1955, famouswolf, stlouissix and 1776er.
"my next goal is that fucking nutcase stlousx

Luck drlager....lots and lots and lots of serious luck! Make it happen captain! LOL!!!
I have also used so many name to play with the crazies. I still play, but have slowed down, because the thread posts climb when they have a troll to play with. It is like visitors day at the home. And, it seems to invigorate them, even after we leave.
DeleteI enjoy seeing the tally for posts hover below 400 many days or threads stay up for two days, just so the numbers aren't so pathetic.
I call dibs on Wolfie and January! drlager, did you see markRNY's comments about somebody's ;-) attack on the old botox bimbo? All the creepy old guys who fap to her photo that she emailed them (maybe her famous sis?) were livid!

Well, before the day is done, we will know how many showed up to this gun club to see the Queen. After all, very few showed up (10% of the wristbands available) in Florida.
ReplyDeleteI think people are pretty much over Sarah, even her former supporters. They have heard her singing the same song for years and want to hear a different melody.
In the interim, the pox I put on Sarah still stands.
And, I seconded it, if that matters.
DeleteSorry, I got into about a minute of the intro to the Tundra Turd and had to go throw-up.
ReplyDeleteI could not even watch past the smarmy, lyng introduction.
DeleteOMG. The lady leading the discussions must have been having organisms over Palin. She should have just started humping Palin's head....but that would have knocked her wig off her head.
Deleteorgasm
DeleteI dunno, 10:29. Sitting that close, organisms would be a concern...
DeleteI enjoyed how fast the intro girl went through Baldy's "accomplishments". Apparently her stomach must have been growling cause if you notice in the lower right corner of the video she attacks her food like she hasn't eaten in days! Homegirls got her grub on!
DeleteShe was barely listening to Baldy's Babblings...too busy stuffing bacon or whatever that was into her pie hole!
Who knows maybe they starved the poor woman in the past few days in order to get her to read that shitty ass drivel about Our Baldy!

IS SARAH PALIN IN DESPERATION MODE NOW?
I haven't read the other comments yet but WTF is going on?
Is Sarah Palin so desperate to sell Sweet Freedom: A Devotional that she now has to give away free professional photographer pictures and signatures just to sell and get rid of her Sarah Palin Wannabe Bibles she has stacked up in her garage?
Pictures will be taken by Professional Photographer and will be available for free! When has Sarah Palin ever given away anything for free besides her hoohah and dignity?
$45 to attend, I believe. Nothing is ever given away free, unless it involves a certain younger Palin?
DeleteProbably that Sheila lady. She got the goods on Sarah.

She doesn't want people snapping their own pics with their cell phones and then photoshopping funny things on her head.
ReplyDeleteOr capturing the size of the "crowd"?
DeleteHer face is so full of fillers now she is starting to look like a copy of all the other "celebrities" with their fillers and botox. She has lost all of her original (somewhat) good looks. Fake from head to toe.
ReplyDeleteSarah is fighting hard not to look like her mother but Sarah time is winning. In a short period of time you will look like your mother's twin sister - old, short and shriveled up
Delete"Fake from head to toe."
DeleteInside and out, also, too.
I have a bit more respect for poor ol' Sally who at least she's not trying to fight the realities of gravity and birthdays as fiercely as her num-nutz daughter.
DeleteAll $P every thought she had was 'looks' so that's all she focused on in her life. Based on the many years of suggestive clothing, troweled on makeup and wigs she's favored all her life, she couldn't count real beauty in her arsenal. She's better at waving guns around showing her true, real self.
She boosted herself up on the backs of others, lied, cheated and spread ill will to fill her empty life with pieces of silver and false adoration.
Anon 10:20 asked "When has Sarah Palin ever given away anything for free besides her hoohah and dignity?"
ReplyDeleteNot too long ago did Sarah give away Bristol's hoohah to Duhkota Meyer in order to get his Medal Of Honor medal and put it into her jewelry box?
DeleteThat should have been his first clue.
Notice the introduction only mentioned one grandson. What about her granddaughter? Hmmm....
ReplyDeleteMaybe because ArmTrack only has visitation-type privileges and not full custody? Raising that little girl is out of Sarah's control so she doesn't count her as "one of us".
Deletenoticed that too.....
DeleteIt's obvious - Brita is considered a Palin traitor for embarrassing Sarah by divorcing her son.
DeleteNo way did Track get anything but visitation, and probably supervised.
DeleteOne of the mods from c4p-iiz- shared this crowd photo from today's gun club, preaching to the crazy conservative choir book signing and photo to yank yourself to sleep by, event:
ReplyDeletehttps://pbs.twimg.com/media/CVfGMQCUYAA6MYA.jpg
Woah, that must be all of 120 people! Hope they brought in extra crowd control ;-)
DeleteGoes to show you just how many crazy gun owner Palin lovers there are, even in a State as cool as California. Unbelievable!
DeleteDoesn't mean they are there necessarily to see Sarah Palin. They are there to buy guns - Sarah is just a bonus. Nowadays she likes showing up where the crowds already are.
DeleteDid you mean to say boner? Instead of bonus.possibly maybe bonehead? Or maybe bore or Bobble head?
DeleteWhite group of yahoos. No surprise there.
DeleteI figured at even five across and 30 long, that is a crowd of maybe 150, including kids who were dragged along. It was posted right about the time the "event" was to begin, so it's not like it was after two hours of crowd thinning or early people lining up for hours before. This would appear to be it, crowd-wise.
DeleteQuite the crowd for a country of millions.
DeleteIn the end, no matter whose side we take here, what kind of a pathetic soul would whore herself so cheaply in the name of her God when it is clearly against The Word she claims to cling to?
ReplyDeleteEven Michelle Bachmann and Christine O' Donnell went away. That she still belly dances it not only speaks her total lack of integrity but of a God she does not even respect.
Just back from our suburban Kansas City Costco. No Sweet Freedom in the book section.
ReplyDeleteNoticed the Ben Carson books were turned face down on the stacks...my sweet husband flipped 'em. He's retiring soon and told me he was going to be get involved in the political fray. He's starting out slow....
RJ in BBistan
No Sweet Freedom in the book section?
DeleteSilly that's because Sweet Freedom is not a book. Sweet Freedom is a bible. I don't think Costco sells bibles.
A slow start, maybe; but, a good one, none the less.

DeleteSarah Palin has a bit of advice for Carly Fiorina
ReplyDeleteBy GABBY MORRONGIELLO (@GABRIELLAHOPE_)• 12/4/15 5:26 PM
Former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin offered Carly Fiorina, the only female Republican presidential hopeful, a bit of advice Friday: behave more like Donald Trump....
Read more at
http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/sarah-palin-has-a-bit-of-advice-for-carly-fiorina/article/2577680
Here we go again. Sarah Palin who thinks she's a politician, author, America's energy expert, the world's moral and parental police, knowledgeable about Christianity but we haven't heard that she attends a church and Sarah is giving advice?
Sarah please!
Sarah what advice would you give Fiorina to behave more like Trump?
Tell Carly to:
Insult African-Americans by calling them "the blacks"
Insult not only Mexican immigrants but all immigrants by calling them rapists, criminals and drug dealers, killers and murders.
Insult all people with handicaps and disabilities by flailing her arms, mumbling and facial expressions
Insult women by talking about their faces, bodies and their menstrual cycles
And whatever else Donald Trump says against everybody else
Immoral Minority readers advice to Carly Fiorina is to think about who is telling you to be more like Donald Trump. Is it the woman who quit her job as governor, who claims to be a Christian, mother who can't teach her daughter to keep her legs closed or use some type of birth control, the mother whose three adult children are not in college, the wife of a man who is accused of being a pimp, the woman who keeps saying she's a politician but hasn't done anything since she quit on the taxpayers of Alaska in 2009, the mother who has to depend on her high school freshman daughter to interpret Sarah's child with DS, doesn't know what the vice-president's job entails, doesn't know our history, doesn't know who our allies are, doesn't know the difference between North and South Korea doesn't know what she reads and all the other stupid shit she has said and done?
Tell us Carly is this the woman who is giving you advice? ROFLOL SMH
I watched a bit of the video before I went to bed. I was very surprised that Sarah Palin had no answer for the girl whose debate tutor said she was racist and bordering on supporting rape culture. She asked Palin how she could have responded.
ReplyDeleteSarah Palin had no answer. No answer at all. She even admitted it.
Here is some advice from a grown woman not as old as Sarah: if a professor makes any assessment of your politics that upsets you, then simply ask them what they're basing that assessment on. If you want to have strident Right-wing views then your must be prepared to defend them. Going to fake Palin events where everybody talks a lot of shit will not help you.
Sarah's MO of 'divide and conquer' wouldn't have helped her in college. No wonder she had to attend five of them, she probably wasn't welcome in any of them with her middle school politics that she still clings to.
Well, we spent this gorgeous sunny and mild (unusual for us in early December) Saturday Christmas shopping in a nearby town, Petoskey, on Lake Michigan. The lake reflected the stunning blue of the sky. Not a gun shop in sight of the streets we trod in the downtown. Happy shoppers, friendly faces and cheerful voices everywhere, although some people were disappointed that there is no snow on the ground or in the forecast.
ReplyDeleteBy contrast the obscenity of hawking a "devotional" book at a gun show shows who Sarah Palin really is. And to do it in California just days after the massacre at San Bernardino makes her even worse, if that is possible. Sarah Palin does not have a faithful or religious or loving or patriotic bone in her body.
Beaglemom
Sarah Palin if you go to a NASCAR event, basketball or hockey game do you think all those people are there to see you? What about Disneyland or New York? Are all those people there to see you? What about crashing the Rolling Thunder parade in Washington DC? Are all those people there to see you?
ReplyDeleteSarah since you can't draw people to your book signing at bookstores, how about going to a rifle - pistol - shotgun - archery range and restaurant at the Oak Tree Gun Club?
I hope you enjoyed your visit to the Sunshine state today, Sarah, but I thought you were supposed to be in California, you know, the Golden State. Those pesky mottos are hard to keep straight!
ReplyDeleteThe photographer may be "free" but the prints won't be. If you want a copy of your photo with Palin it will cost you.
ReplyDeleteOuch!
ReplyDeleteNo not Sarah Palin's book?
