Sarah Palin: "We're all Arizonans now!"
The Arizona Republic:
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin defended Arizona's new immigration law Saturday and announced the launch of a website to inform Americans about border security.
Palin said Arizona is "ground zero" for the nation's border-security issues during a news conference organized by Brewer's gubernatorial campaign.
"It's time for Americans across this great country to stand up and say, 'We're all Arizonans now,' " Palin said. "And in clear unity we say, 'Mr. President, do your job. Secure our borders.'
What an idiot! The idea that after three previous administrations have failed to solve this complicated issue that it now can be blames solely on President Obama is the height of ignorance. And you know Palin knows better, she just hopes the moron who follow her, and get all of their information from Fox News, don't.
And how arrogant is it for the whitest of the white Republicans like Governor Brewer Sarah Palin to stand up there and tell Arizonians that this will not adversely impact people with a darker complexion than themselves.
Of course our President who understand this issue much more completely, for obvious reasons, has a different understanding of how this law may affect a certain segment of Arizonians.
President Obama has criticized the Arizona law, saying that in dealing with the immigration issue, "the answer isn't to undermine fundamental principles that define us as a nation."
"You can imagine if you are an Hispanic American in Arizona, your great grandparents may have been there before Arizona was even a state, but now suddenly if you don't have your papers, and you took your kid out to get ice cream, you're gonna be harassed," Obama said, referring to the statute at a April rally in Iowa.
"That's something that could potentially happen," he said. "That's not the right way to go."
Have you noticed that Palin seems to take the wrong side on EVERY issue? Whether it be the spill in the Gulf of Mexico, or the "show me your papers" law in Arizona, she simply takes the side that is the most poorly thought out or ignorant and there she stands.

I very much doubt if she will ever run...every dumb thing like this that she has said will be brought up...she'll never run, because she'd have to give up all her lucrative contracts. She cannot debate any of the stupid crap that spills out of her mouth..she is poisonous hatemonger, has taken the hearfelt headline of the French publication, Le Monde, on 9/12, "We are all Americans now", and turned it into a cheap political slogan. It was a genuine outpouring of worldwide sympathy for America after 9/11. How can she mutate that expression of empathy and support for America, with its loss of 3,000 innocent citizens, into support for this hateful, racist law in Arizona? She is repulsive....this country was built on cheap,illegal immigrant labor. FACT
ReplyDeleteGryph, it's not that Sarah chooses the wrong side issue by issue. She backs the conservative side, and when's the last time the conservatives were on the right side of any issue?
ReplyDeleteI can't remember either.
Stormfront Barbie running her mouth again..
ReplyDeleteWell, she's a Republican. That's what they do now. They could change their party slogan to "Dumb, short-sighted, and up for sale."
ReplyDeleteIch bin ein Arizonian. Never undersestimate the power of corporate money to get an idiot elected president, it has happened many times before. The oil companies especially will now be desperate for a friend of oil corporations to undo all the rules they are going to have to abide. When you add drug and insurance corps., then Wall Street, it is entirely possible she could get elected. How? Well, for one thing there are a lot of schemes done to control the make up of voters in some areas(part of the reason for overflowing prisons)and there are a lot of just confused, stupid people in this country. They do no reasearch nor do they read, they just follow like sheep.
ReplyDeleteSince we are all Arizonans, please send Arizona's election ballots to all 50 states so that we can remove Brewer and McCain from office. Also add a requirement to ban White Bread Palin from Arizona.
ReplyDeleteI want to exercise my rights to vote in Arizona!
She can only stand on ground she thinks she understands - even if it's only thin ice.
ReplyDeleteSomeday soon she is going to plunge through, and I am not sure anyone is going to rush to rescue her from oblivion.
$P is not original; she not only lies, but steals. Imagine, stealing something like "Fired up and ready to go" (at the top of her FB page). She steals from the left and twists it to her reactionary viewpoint.
ReplyDeleteOf course, we all knew that.
I guess Sarah Palin is no longer proud to be an American...
ReplyDeleteAs if Stupid Sarah could even locate Arizona on a map-- blank or not.
ReplyDelete"stormfront barbie" lmao that is a good one!!
ReplyDelete"we're all arizonians?" what a stupid statement. speak for yourself, sarah. you do not speak for all americans - only the minority group of the ignorants, racists, and crazies. yep, that's your crowd, sarah. how proud you must be as the Leader of the Dregs.
Anonymous@6.21a - Let's try "Storm TROOPER Barbie", instead.
ReplyDeleteFunny, the Republican Convention of 2012 is to be held in Tampa, Florida. So, I guess those who voted for that venue didn't get the memo that they are Arizonans. She and Brewer are lucky I'm not one, because one of my first acts would be to vote Brewer and any other politician who voted for this law out of office. The only good thing about all the media attention this boneheaded dingbat gets is that her intellectual and moral deficiencies are out there for all to see. I firmly believe that she is single-handedly providing all the rope needed to hang herself. An important aspect of intelligence and common sense is to know one's limitations and either accept them or try to overcome them. As narcissistic and self-absorbed as she is, she's too stupid to know what she does not know, and I'm convinced that this is what will ultimately be her undoing.
ReplyDeleteI never quite understood exactly what papers one is supposed to be able to provide at a moments notice. Personally, I do not possess a Green Card nor naturalization papers. Is every resident or visitor now required to carry his or her Birth Certificate (since it seems that a Certificate of Live Birth simply will not do. But a Birth Certificate doesn't have one's picture on it - so do we add to that passports, drivers licenses, bank cards, Big Box food club ID's, college ID's - but then again anyone can possess many of those without sanction of "papers". Do we get special permission at the border as we drive in (will there be multiple kiosks just like the NJ Turnpike), at the airport when we fly in; and, also too what special magical papers will we need then? Well I guess that is a moot point for me as I won't be doing that; and, I so much wanted to see Sedona. As a matter of fact I so wanted to re-visit Alaska; but won't be doing that until and unless EvilWitch Barbie is behind bars - Federal bars.
ReplyDeleteI'm so confused.
Hey Arizona, be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it!!!
I believe in reincarnation and I certainly hope each one of these racist opportunists, especially Palin, comes back as a black or brown person -- or one of those animals they think 'go so well with the mashed potatoes.'
ReplyDeleteThis woman is so absurd that it is becoming less fun to bash her. For someone who has made even Elizabeth Hasselback appear intelligent, the very idea that there is even a contingent out there willing to consider her capable of being president is the most frightening.
ReplyDeleteHow anyone can take this grifter seriously defies logic. She cannot go away fast enough to suit me. Too much time and energy is spent on highlighting her stupidity which suggests that her eligibility for higher office is still in play.
She is a piece of work.
Funny how the white thieves who stole the land from the brown natives now want to close the borders.
ReplyDeleteI think the moment SP sets foot in AZ she should be asked for her birth certificate; and Trig's too, also.
ReplyDelete"...and I can see Mexico from my podium' !
ReplyDeleteThis woman is an idiot !
By the way, I believe the term is "Arizonans". At least when I lived there in college, that was the reference. Arizonians??!
ReplyDeleteHey Sarah! That was a really nice Brown shirt you wore to the rally in Arizona!

ReplyDeletePalin: "DO MY JOB!"
the woman who always has to hire someone to do her job ... that is, use other people's money to pay someone to do the job she is being paid to not do.
and by "WE" of course she means all riiil 'murikuns ...
ReplyDeleteIf we are all Arizonans now, that means that we can be stopped anywhere, and be told to produce our papers. If we speak with an accent, bake too long at the tanning salon, associate with minorities, we can be stopped anywhere. Finally, equality for all! As Keith Olbermann says, "Sarah Palin is an Idiot!" And, I want to see her papers.
ReplyDeleteOh brother --- http://www.securetheborder.org/contact/ Nice banner cut and paste ! I live in a Northern border state and would certainly NOT want an Arizona type precedent in force that has the potential of being enacted elsewhere. No rational heads prevailing when Ms. SP's around.

I agree with you. Big Guns and big money will be working 24/7 to get nothing but immoral fools in office at every level.
One little piece of info in the interest of having some facts-
ReplyDeleteAccording to the voter registration website in AZ, a driver's license/ID card issued after 1996 in AZ is proof of citizenship, as is a passport or tribal card. For first timers getting a license, one has to have bc, etc.
My WA license wouldn't/shouldn't work as it is not an "enhanced" license proving citizenship which would allow me to go freely to Canada or Mexico.
That might sound reasonable, but one could seriously question the photograph. My 22 year old daughter's AZ license expires in 2052!
She wouldn't be stopped for anything less than probable cause as she is real blonde. Her godfather and family are Filipino, though. The same might not be said for them.
This law attacking the 14th amendment sucks, regardless of one's color, though. One would think Mrs. Palin would have wanted our Constitutional rights protected- kinda like she wants people on the terrorist watch list to be able to buy as many guns as they want so the 2nd amendment doesn't get trampled.
Idiot.
If I am an Arizonian I am voting for asshat Hayworth, the equal of two evils. Anything but McINSANE!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI will not travel to Arizona this year.
ReplyDeleteI am not an Arizonan. How dare she ASSUME we all feel the way she does. What is wrong with her?
I have to ask myself, is what Arizona doing in any way shape or form, Christian? I do not think so.
And if she is going to criticize POTUS Obama, why didn't Bush do something about the border when he had the majority in Congress? It would have been easy to push that threw. His solution was the fence and how much did that failure cost us?
Anonymous @ 7:45-
ReplyDeleteYes let's see both (all?) Trig's papers.
An imfamous quitter belting out "do your job" is hilarously pyschotic.
ReplyDeleteOf course, Alaskans are rightfully grateful that Sarah Palin CHOOSE to NOT do her job of governor.
The traveling pyscho ward is in NM today. Wonder if the handlers will replace that loser slogan. "Mr President, thank you for not quitting?"
Funny we're all Arizonians now, but she couldn't have a 'fishpicker born in Texas.' What's so wrong with Texas Sarah? Are you implying that Arizona is better than Texas?
ReplyDeleteFunny how the white thieves who stole the land from the brown natives
ReplyDelete------------------------------------------
Gadsden Purchase.
What lies and hypocrisy that these two idiots spew. Sarah claims the bill will not promote racial profiling but she herself said after the Ft. Hood attacks that we SHOULD use racial profiling. And for Brewer to accuse the President of using this issue for politics is really hypocritical because she is saying this during a campaign speech. Her saying the President is being divisive is hilarious because the most divisive public figure around is standing next to her.
ReplyDeleteNote to Sarah: If you want to get down to a zero chance of winning a general election, keep on alienating groups of voters. If you think you can get to the White House with just the older, rich, white and teabagger vote, you are even dumber than I thought you were.
I just want to ask why would she speak at the Arizona sportsmen for wildlife conservation meeting. I think that although this club is for hunters that they are into wildlife conservation. How does kill(wolves, bears, beluga whales, oh hell all animals should be killed according to Palin) baby kill have any creditability on Conservation. I believe this group is nothing but a big fat lie and that they really don't care about the wildlife that they are killing.
ReplyDeletePssst, Scarah...I am Not an Arizonan! Uggghhhh...the palins remind me of pigs at a trough! Big Mama Scarah always pushing her nose in first!
ReplyDeletepeople sarah palin will never be president of this country. relax.
ReplyDeleteyes the corporations have gotten people elected before, however, there are 2 significant things those people did NOT do prior to running for president:
1) they never quit jobs they were elected to do halfway through their term for no reason.
2) they also never said that the laws of this country should be based on the god of the bible and the ten commandments.
these 2 things are huge strikes against palin, and when all is said and done, these are the things that will prevent her from being president if she decides to run.
just imagine the opposition ads 24/7. it will be brutal.
The problem is that border issues, immigration issue, illegal issues are all DICEY. The population of ANY country doesn't like it's borders being infiltrated. $tupid $arah is on the side that will unfortunately get support.
ReplyDeleteIt's not just Americans, I lived in Spain, Finland and and Germany and those people are crazy rascist when it comes to foreigners or people they PERCEIVE as different, as well.
The Spanish have an issue with South Americans living there....I mean, there is always somebody on the bottom of the pile....$arah is tapping into THAT. She will have support on this one, it's a crying shame.
What to do????
So....is she trying to star in a parody of Evita, or what?
ReplyDeleteGryphen, please keep watch over what happens with this money she is allegedly raising for the girls from Highland Park...
Show me your papers! Even when Obama produced the required birth certificate, that wasn't proof enough. Arizona needs to put Orly Taitz in charge of checking everyone's papers; she's tough and she is crazy.
ReplyDeleteA word about drivers license as proof of citizenship. We know someone who was in this country illegally and he had no trouble buying drivers licenses, social security cards, and fake ID.
Racial profiling, yes it is a fact, and it has nothing to do with immigration. I live in the kind of suburb where cars are stopped just because the driver doesn't look as if he belongs here. Maybe a light is out, or the fender is a little dented. He will be stopped for no other reason than "driving while different." Ask teen aged drivers how often they are stopped and the answer is more often that adults. Surprise. Ask an African American how easy it is to hail a cab in New York City. We still have a long way to go to.
Elizabeth Hasselback has ccome out in disagreement with palin and she really did not surprise me when she did this on the view.She may be a republican and have supported palin but i think she is past that and believes that President Obama is and was voted in and is our president and that is that and that palin is wrong sometimes and should watch what she say's beecause it is not always the truth.
ReplyDeleteFunny that the last decades of 'immigration' now fall under the Obama Admin -- yeahh.... he's AT FAULT for the past decades of wetbacks coming
ReplyDelete'round.
Funny that... 'wetbacks' have been around since before I was the egg and the sperm. Born and raised in Texas, I should know, eh.
TYPICAL BULLY BEHAVIOUR.
MAKE YOURSELF FEEL BETTER BY NAMECALLING.
NO BETTER ARGUMENT.
NO BETTER FUNDAMENTAL REASONING.
Just.A.Bully. And a simpleton at that.
Sarah, you ARE a pussy.
And what's even more enjoyable to us to watch your inevitable downfall? Is that you deep down know it. This is why you have always, and forever will be, the everlasting mean.girl. For ever and ever, Amen. Salud.

>> Funny how the white thieves who stole the >>land from the brown native -----
Yesseriee!! Funny that. I'm white. Yet ALL of my ancestory came from Europe. You are completely correct... we white people DID steal this land from the brown... and with evil intent from the onset of witnessing the "barbarians".
Infected blankets, anyone??
This was a great comment from a reader at HuffPo- (I Think the name was Whitehat)
ReplyDeleteWhat a surprise, Palin attempts to frame Arizona's police-state law as a matter of self defense for upstanding Americans. What the Supreme Ignoramus does not seem to consider is that a loss of rights for any one group weakens the Constitutional guarantees of EVERY American. If left to stand, a law like Arizona's sets a legal precedent by which every Constitutional guarantee becomes open to negotiation, and only the politics of the day determine which rights We the People can be "permitted" by our government.
Palin has made a career of telling Americans to trade away their rights for "safety." It's a job. In truth, if Palin wanted to assure her continuing right to mouth her chickenshit inanities, she should oppose AZ's new law. But she doesn't look that far ahead. It's a really, really well-paying job.
It has become clear that Palin is now routinely hired to facilitate ever more restrictive and intrusive government activity. Fear Mexicans? Muslims? Iran? Russia? Who next, Sarah? Would that just depend on where your next paycheck came from?
Real Americans, the decent and sensible people who make this country a great place, don't fear terrorists and foreigners as much as the enablers of repression. People like Sarah Palin.
When law enforcement can randomly demand anyone's "papers" at any time, it is. happening. here.
Go Viral with this and GOTV in Arizona.
ReplyDelete"Behind the Arizona Immigration Law:
GOP Game to Swipe the November Election"
Our investigation in Arizona discovered the real intent of the show-me-your-papers law.
by Greg Palast
In 2008, working for Rolling Stone with civil rights attorney Bobby Kennedy, our team flew to Arizona to investigate what smelled like an electoral pogrom against Chicano voters ... directed by one Jan Brewer.
Brewer, then Secretary of State, had organized a racially loaded purge of the voter rolls that would have made Katherine Harris blush. Beginning after the 2004 election, under Brewer's command, no less than 100,000 voters, overwhelmingly Hispanics, were blocked from registering to vote. In 2005, the first year of the Great Brown-Out, one in three Phoenix residents found their registration applications rejected.
That statistic caught my attention. Voting or registering to vote if you're not a citizen is a felony, a big-time jail-time crime. And arresting such criminal voters is easy: after all, they give their names and addresses.

I think we ought to take what Celia said as a warning. She makes good points, and we should take anything for granted. Money talks.
ReplyDeletePresident Obama raised more money than the Republicans. If Democrats don't get the kind of money the TP's or Rethugs can get from oil, insurance and drug companies, we really could see someone like Palin making gains - I would really hope not, but if people get lazy or can't donate enough . . . .
Well stated, Tutonic. Thanks for the post.
ReplyDeleteanon 6:21: good one, I will be stealing...
ReplyDeleteStormfront Barbie
Even when Obama produced the required birth certificate
ReplyDelete==========================================
Careful. Obama has NEVER produced a birth certificate. He has released a 'Certificate of Live Birth' which was prepared years after the fact and is not the same thing. He has also spent $3 million on attorney fees fighting this.
I'm not a conspiracy whacko, I'm not pouring over old photos of Obama as a kid checking his ears - but - my hunch is that the records have disappeared over the years and can't be produced now.
I'm sure that Obama was born in Hawaii and is an American citizen. I'm equally sure that some of the proof he'd like to have is gone.
No Swag-Hag, I'm NOT an "Arizonan" AND never will be.. I'm from somewhere else that believes that freedom to be what you are, FAR outweighs what some two-bit, mouth-breathing trailer trash like you spouts or wishes I was...
ReplyDeleteNo sister...I won't wallow in the street slime that encompasses everything you are in your daily toll to be all you can be to the mindless... have fun you pile-o-trash....
Good one, Pattie.
ReplyDeleteInsanity. Sarah "believes" she knows what everyone wants. She speaks as an oracle for the rest of the country while contradicting herself. Does this sound delusional or what? And, she won't stop.....seems she's on an incessant unstoppable campaign trotting from State to State telling people how they should feel, vote, think.
ReplyDeleteIMO, this is the first time we're witnessing a failed half-term governor with questionnable mental health being given a national stage to divide and fear-mongre.
JFK might have been right when he said (in German): "I am a Berliner."
ReplyDeleteIf Palin wants to support a law that will discriminate against people of color who are citizens or are otherwise here lawfully, that's her business. But she should speak in the first person.
I am an Alaskan, and not an Arizonian.
Perhaps if she ever has a real interview- not filtered by Facebook- perhaps Palin will explain why Reagan, Bush 1, Clinton, and Bush 2 couldn't solve the border problem in 28 years total in office, why Obam should have solved it in only 15 months.
The good thing about her spouting such nonsense it means she is not running in 2012- she just lost the Hispanic vote.
By the way, if she is an Arizonian as she claims, is she still eligible for a Permanent Fund dividend.
JFK might have been right when he said (in German): "I am a Berliner."
ReplyDelete==================================
What he actually said, translated from German, was: 'I am a jelly doughnut.'
oh, and she was also there to attend a banquet for "Sportsmen for Wildlife Conservation." I'm just an East Coast "citiot" but that sounds like an oxymoron for morons. . .
ReplyDeleteDamned! Does that mean she is moving to Arizona??? Let's have a party!!
ReplyDelete"Ich bin ein Berliner" translates exactly to what President Kennedy meant to say:that he was at that moment a honorary citizen of Berlin.That the word "Berliner" is also used to describe jelly donut endeared him even more to all germans.I know,I'm german and I was there.
ReplyDeleteTake a look at this video of Palin in Arizona reading VERY FAST from a TELEPROMPTER!
ReplyDeletehttp://thelotuslaptopoftheunitedstates.blogspot.com/2010/05/sarah-and-border-ladies.html
Thought she said over and over that she doesn't use teleprompters, LOL.
If any of our public officials had any honesty, they would admit that the laws are already on the books to stop illegal aliens. Simply enforce the penalties or stiffen the penalties for businesses that hire undocumented workers, and the problem is solved. As soon as the cheap labor isn't an option, the Chamber of Commerce lobby will be shouting that we need to open the borders. If the Chamber of Commerce lobby wants it to happen, the Republicans will support it!
ReplyDeleteIf we are all Arizonans, are we the white skinned blue eyed blonds or are we the Spanish speaking people whose ancestors lived there when that territory belonged to Mexico? Maybe we are the third group of Arizonans who have been short changed by our government: The Hopi and The Navajo. Technically, the Navajo migrated to Arizona hundreds of years ago, but the Hopi live in one of the longest continually inhabited settlements on what little scrap of land the US government allowed them to have (after they took away much more). Of all of them, the Hopis should be the ones who ask to really take back their country.
ReplyDeleteWhich is it Sarah...less government or more government? When it comes to money and corporate regulations and health care, you want less government, but when it comes to discriminating against fellow citizens you want more government. Make up your teabagging mind already.
ReplyDeleteI was not a Georgian when McCain said we are all Georgians and I'm certainly not an Arizonan just because you say so.
Trouble in AZ!
