Sarah Palin was all over Breitbart yesterday. Here are some of her moose droppings of "wisdom."

Hey boys, remember me?

First let me say that I don't like to link to Breitbart as I think they are a site driven by racism, misogyny, and hate.

However it is only good blogging etiquette to provide links to posts that I borrow from for a post of my own, so I WILL provide links. However you should know that the Surgeon General has determined that clicking them can lead to high blood pressure, a loss of feeling in your nether regions, and possible brain damage.

First Palin defends Stephen Bannon: 

“Look at Steve Bannon, what he’s going through. The irony of Steve Bannon going through this hell with the politics of personal destruction that the Clinton machine supporters are throwing his way is, he recognized that in ‘08 what I was going through, and he made a movie about it,” Palin said referring to Bannon’s documentary The Undefeated, which chronicles Palin’s political career from a corruption busting Alaska mayor and governor to her vice presidential campaign as John McCain’s running mate to her leadership in the Tea Party movement. 

“People need to watch that, The Undefeated, because it wasn’t about – I mean, I’m the principal in the movie – but in that documentary it’s not about me. It’s about anybody who would face this injustice of the media, and the politics of personal destruction, and how you can use that actually as fuel,” Palin said. 

“When they throw that stuff at you – the lies and the exaggerations and ruining your reputation and your record – you know, it’s kind of hard to find out where do you go to get back your reputation, after they do what they do to people they don’t like. You have to personally use it as fuel to empower you, and to strengthen you, and to really allow it to be confirmation that you’re right, because look at what it is that they represent,” Palin explained. “They represent that intolerance. They represent very, very narrow-minded thinking. They don’t want to enlarge any kind of tent. It’s either their way or the highway.”

I'm sorry I confused "defend Stephen Bannon" with "promote that crappy movie he made about me."

My bad.

By the way the only person guilty of "ruining" Sarah Palin's reputation, is Sarah Palin.

Most of what I wrote here, were things that she actually said, and what I wrote about her and her family was backed up by text messages, interviews, or tidbits of information from friends and family who shared them at some risk to themselves.

Next up Palin claims that she's a feminist, while also attacking the first female presidential candidate from a major party: 

Sarah Palin to "Lamestream" Media: " I won’t spend any more precious, limited time responding to personal, vulgar, sexist venom spewed my way." So there!

The Mama Grizzly's very public nervous breakdown after her attempts to gain political credibility by playing tourist in India and Israel continues as she takes to, where else, Facebook to have RAM write out a hissy fit for her. ("Make me sound indignant, and long suffering, but make sure I don't sound like a venom spewing harpy bitch.  Oh, and make sure to put in lot's of that punctuation stuff!  I love it when you make me sound coherent!")

However apparently RAM's anger at her recent introduction into the harsh light of media scrutiny has made her just as thin skinned as her mistress, which means that her attempt to sound reasonable and justified in her frustration came out like this:

“Let’s keep pivoting around media bias, and not get distracted with the vulgar personal shots. Call out lies and set the record straight, but always keep the ball moving. No one ever won a game only playing defense.”

Upon my return from an outstanding and productive trip to India and Israel, (What? Did she go on ANOTHER trip to India and Israel that was not the embarrassing debacle we all reported on?) I’ve been inundated with requests to respond to petty comments made in the media the past few days, including one little fella’s comment which decent people would find degrading. (I won’t bother responding to it though, because it was made by he who reminds me of an annoying little mosquito found zipped up in your tent; he can’t do any harm, but buzzes around annoyingly until it’s time to give him the proverbial slap.) (For those who are interested, the "mosquito" referred to here is Bill Maher and this is what he said. For the record I laughed.  Every single time I've heard it.)

I’ve given this a lot of thought, and I’d like to share my thoughts on the never-ending issue of media bias. (And remember if you are playing at home kids, that "media bias" means the MSM reporting on any truths that Sarah Palin does not want her potential supporters to hear.)

When it comes to responding to the media, the standard warning is: Don’t pick a fight with people who buy ink by the barrel because calling out the media and holding them accountable is a risky endeavor. Too often the first instinct is to ignore blatant media bias, crudeness, and outright lies, and just hope the media instigator will grow up and provide fairer coverage if you bite your tongue and not challenge the false reporting of an openly hostile press. But I’ve never bought into that. That’s waving the white flag. I just can’t do it because I have too much respect for the importance of a free press as a cornerstone of our democracy, and I have great respect for the men and women in uniform who sacrifice so much to defend that First Amendment right. Media, with freedom comes responsibility. (In other words Sister Sarah simply MUST respond to EVERY negative thing said about her in the press or else our fighting men and women will have died in vain. Quick, somebody cue the Lee Greenwood music!)

Friends, too often conservatives or Republicans in general come across as having the fighting instinct of sheep. (Baahh'd Republicans, Baahh'd!) I don’t. I was raised to believe that you don’t retreat when you’re on solid ground; so even though it often seems like I’m armed with just a few stones and a sling against a media giant, (And an army of crazed winged monkeys prepared to send massive amounts of misspelled e-mails to my critics at the slightest provocation.) I’ll use those small resources to do what I can to set the record straight. The truth is always worth fighting for. Doing so isn’t whining or “playing the victim card”; it’s defending the truth in fairness to those who seek accurate information.

I’ll keep attempting to correct misinformation and falsehoods about myself and my record, and I will certainly never shy from defending others who are unfairly attacked. This is in the name of justice. (For example like the time I stood up for Dr. Laura who was simply practicing her First Amendment right to say the word "ni--er" 11 times on the public airwaves. I will always TOTALLY stand up for the right of people to use racist or homophobic language like Willow did, and to not have to watch what they say so as not to offend people who would never vote for me in an election anyhow.)

But two decades in politics have taught me that when it comes to picking battles, often it’s best to ignore the truly petty, ugly personal media shots because engaging in a counter argument with disreputable, intolerant people doesn’t vindicate me; it merely gives those people the attention they seek. It wastes my time and it distracts from what we should focus on. (Seriously, can you imagine how long Palin's enemies list would be if she went after EVERY person who said something she did not like? Um..yeah but...never mind.)

We must always remember the big picture. The media has always been biased. Conservatives – and especially conservative women – have always been held to a different standard and attacked. This is nothing new. Lincoln was mocked and ridiculed (Yes Abraham Lincoln, what a very appropriate example of a conservative woman who was held to a different standard and attac...wait what?). Reagan was called an amiable dunce, a dangerous warmonger, a rightwing fanatic, and the insult list goes on and on.  (And the fact that those things were true about Reagan is no reason not to take offense at them. Why is the truth so left-wing? Stupid truth!)(But somehow Reagan still managed to win two major electoral landslides, and this was in the days before the internet and talk radio when all he had were three biased network news channels spinning reports on him. If he could do so much with so little and still be such an optimistic and positive leader, then surely we can succeed with the new media tools at our disposal.) (Yeah Reagan was able to pull the wool over the eyes of Americans even BEFORE Fox News.  Imagine how much more effectively the Republicans can lie to the voters now!)

Let’s just acknowledge that commonsense conservatives must be stronger and work that much harder because of the obvious bias. And let’s be encouraged with a sense of poetic justice by knowing that the “mainstream” media isn’t mainstream anymore. That’s why I call it “lamestream,” and the LSM is becoming quite irrelevant, as it is no longer the sole gatekeeper of information. (The Grizzled One makes a valid point, information IS being disseminated outside of the now dried up media news teats.  However what Klondike Kardashian fails to realize is that these outlets are as a rule far MORE progressive and left leaning than their MSM precursors. Nice try though!)

Let’s keep pivoting around media bias, and not get distracted with the vulgar personal shots. Even with limited time we can try to call out lies and set the record straight, but always keep the ball moving. No one ever won a game only playing defense. (So we can take this as a promise from Palin to continue to be as offensive as she has always been in the past.  No change there.)

I’ll keep correcting false reporting, and I’ll defend others to the hilt; but I won’t spend any more precious, limited time responding to personal, vulgar, sexist venom spewed my way. (Okay, okay, hang on just a minute here.  "Venom spewing" is totally MY phrase!  I have been using that to describe Palin, and the lunatic fringe she calls supporters, for over two years now.  In other words, the bitch is stealing my best lines!  Can't RAM make up her OWN phraseology?)

(Oops, almost at the end, time to launch an attack on Obama before wrapping this thing up.)

Today, our country is faced with seemingly overwhelming challenges. We have an unsustainable and immoral $14 trillion debt problem which, combined with a self-inflicted energy crisis, could bring America to her knees. The President of the United States is manipulating an energy supply by refusing to develop our U.S. energy resources. Shouldn’t that be the media’s focus today? Wouldn’t you like more information on the deficit that for last month alone was the highest in our history at $223 billion? That single month’s deficit was more than the entire deficit for the year 2007! We still have a 16% real unemployment rate. We had 2.9 million home foreclosures last year alone, with this year predicted to be even worse. Americans who are struggling to make ends meet are now hit by rising food and energy prices – exacerbated by the Fed’s decision to drop that $600 billion money bomb known as QE2 on us. Gas has already hit $4 per gallon in some areas. And let’s not forget that our men and women in uniform are deployed far from home today. From Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, to who-knows-where tomorrow under a clouded, confused Obama Doctrine, our armed forces are in harm’s way, defending our interests and protecting our freedoms. (Is it just me. or did that seem a little "venom spewy" to you guys?)

Now these are the real concerns to Americans. These are times when real leadership is needed. We must never be distracted from these real concerns. (Like sending donations to SarahPAC so that Palin can hide in her hotel room with the lights off in exotic locations all over the world for instance.)

Petty comments from the small-minded are used to distract. Stay focused, America. Don’t wave any white flag. Simply put, let’s spend our precious time on causes that are worthy.

- Sarah Palin

Well all I have to say is thank goodness Palin/RAM wrote this long response to the personal, vulgar, sexist venom spewed her way, in order to let the world know that she is going to STOP responding to the personal, vulgar, sexist venom spewed her way.  I mean how else could we possibly have known?

Well of course we might have noticed that Palin had suddenly started to act like a grown up, and was no longer responding to the personal, vulgar, sexist venom spewed her way. But what if the "Lamestream" media did not pick up on that? 

Then Palin could not get credit for taking the high road.  And what good is taking the high road if nobody notices?

You know as I was reading this Facebook rant it dawned on me that this is not the first time that Palin has declared essentially that, "Sticks and stones, may break my bones, but names will never hurt me."

Let's take a trip in the wayback machine to November 5th, 2008.  The day after Palin, and that old guy she was running with, were defeated in the election and she was sent scurrying back to Alaska.


Sarah Palin on "hurt feelings" from Dennis Zaki on Vimeo.

Boy that "thick skin" sure lasted a long time back then didn't it?  Let's see how long Snowdrift Snooki can keep her acid tongue in check THIS time.

Sarah Palin purposefully misquotes Barack Obama in attempt to undermine his presidency.

This is what the old witch said on her Facebook page:

Asked this week about his faltering efforts to advance the Middle East peace process, President Obama did something remarkable. In front of some 47 foreign leaders and hundreds of reporters from all over the world, President Obama said that “whether we like it or not, we remain a dominant military superpower.”


Whether we like it or not? Most Americans do like it. America’s military may be one of the greatest forces for good the world has ever seen, liberating countless millions from tyranny, slavery, and oppression over the last 234 years. As a dominant superpower, the United States has won wars hot and cold; our military has advanced the cause of freedom in Iraq and Afghanistan and kept authoritarian powers like Russia and China in check.

Damning information isn't it?  Except that is NOT what the President said!

This is what he said:
