Inexplicable: I recently won in court to stop my book "America by Heart" from being leaked,but US Govt can't stop Wikileaks' treasonous act?

"Fwap!" (That's the sound of my jaw hitting the top of my desk)
Doesn't she understa....I mean can't she.....hasn't anybody explai.....WTF?
I absolutely do not know where to begin.
Here let Mother Jones take a crack at explaining her unbelievable stupidity. I need an aspirin.
Inexplicable? Does she not understand the difference between apples and nuclear reactors? The two instances she links have little in common. In the case of her book, she managed to get a judge to order Gawker to take down a post showing portions of her book after the website had put them up. And the judge in this case was following precedent established when The Nation magazine was successfully sued by Harper & Row in the 1970s after publishing excerpts of former President Gerald Ford's memoirs before the book was released. The Supreme Court, deciding the case in favor of the publisher, said media outlets could not, under a claim of fair use, publish a significant portion of a copyrighted book (accepting the argument that this could weaken the commercial value of the book). Palin's lawyers took advantage of this ruling, in demanding that Gawker not show the actual pages of her book.
Stopping a media leak involving government information before the fact is not the same. The grand-daddy legal decision on this front comes out of the famous Pentagon Papers case, when the Supreme Court ruled that the government could not block newspapers from publishing the secret Pentagon history of the Vietnam war leaked by Daniel Ellsberg to The New York Times and other papers. The guiding principle here: the government does not have the right to impose prior restraint on the media.
There! Now do you get it you moron?
You still don't do you? Well, they can't say I didn't try.
She's simple minded. Quite child like.
ReplyDeleteWhat I find more amazing than her blatant stupidity, is the fact that time after time after time of tweeting her idiotic thoughts, that there is no one there to stop her.
ReplyDeleteIt's one thing to be stupid, it's another to be stupid day after day after day after year after year. Good God that woman is an IDIOT.
P-bot's how you gonna defend this intellectually challenged zinger?
what is inexplicable is that she was just recently touting her journalism bonafides in criticizing the media... but somehow missed the part of the core curriculum of ANY journalism major which would have explained the importance of the Watergate related Supreme Court decision... because it happened only 10-15 years prior to her enrollment and would have been covered as a watershed event
ReplyDeleteI read that too, Gryphen, along with the comments by a few people that believe $arah was not being serious. Reasonable, intelligent people would think that because they understand the complexities of the situation. Sarah is also unaware that Gawker had already gotten what they needed from the pages displayed after several days. It was no problem for them to remove them. She has to think she won and they'll let her believe that if it makes her happy or keeps her quiet for awhile.
ReplyDeleteIn Palin's world, Wikileaks and Wikipedia sound similar so that's all she needs to assume they are both based here in the U.S. She doesn't need to do any research. It's also her way of attempting to insult President Obama, AGAIN! It's a "look what I accomplished and he can't do the same thing so I should be President
instead of the scary man with the brown skin!"
When will this woman go away for good or at least STFU? Please, someone hide her Blackberries for a couple days, along with her car keys, lock her in her room, anything....just get her to STFU!
Obvious photoshop! Alien tongues are green!
ReplyDeleteWhat she really means is She was able to stop a leak and Obama couldn't. "I am better than Obama." is the message here. Matters not that she's wrong, she's said it, her minions will repeat it over and over and believe it as if it's exactly true. The poorly educated people who follow Palin will lick up whatever BS she spews.
ReplyDeleteFrumforum.com has "we watch plains Alaska so u don't have to"
ReplyDeleteThe really sad thing is that this person with nothing of actual value to say has so many people hanging on every word. Her comments are mundane, un-insightful and ill-informed. In any other generation they would get the attention they actually deserve--none. Somebody needs to explain to her that not every event in human history actually revolves around Sarah Palin. Her petty issues are not a par with the serious problems of the day and her constant need to insert herself into every issue makes her look desperate, not engaged. Her inability to distinguish between petty and serious is but one of many reasons she is not fit for elected office.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness that woman is stupid!
ReplyDeleteIn Sarah's world - and the world of her Tea Party acolytes - the media would not be allowed to publish this. The Pentagon Papers would still be secret, and rappers would be polite, and liquor stores would be closed on Sundays. Black people would stick to sports and entertainment and eschew politics.
ReplyDeleteIn Sarah's world, Iran would already be a smoking hole in the ground. Sadly, the United States might very well be in the same condition...
She thinks she is an icon and that her image can be desecrated. Sure leaking her book is Treasonous. OK, whatever!
ReplyDeleteIn her mind, her book is ART. She tweets and we are all agog and quoting her so she MUST be good, right?
It never ends!
ala David Letterman
ReplyDeleteTop Ten MILLION Reasons SP Should never, ever be President!
# 9,000,666 "...she not understand the difference between apples and nuclear reactors?"
I guess she is admitting that it was her foot-stomping that pushed the publisher to go to court. She didn't win anything! Free association is a dangerous habit in public affairs.
ReplyDeletePerhaps she should have consulted with constitutional/legal scholars like Joe Miller and Christine O'Donnell before her ill-brained communique.
ReplyDelete/snark
So she doesn't understand the difference between her "book" being leaked and information being uploaded on an international server? So the US govt needs to take down foreign servers, you know, based in a foreign country, just to please this dumb woman? Oh Sarah... Please try to run in 2012 and let us see how badly you crash and burn as soon as you see how small your political base really is.
ReplyDeleteI guess we are not suppose to use the word retarded. I do not know any other way to say it, but this idiot is f-king retarded.
ReplyDeleteAm I to understand that Sarah Palin's family receives government health care via Todd's heritage?
ReplyDeleteTwitter was made for Sarah Palin. A one way conversation where no one calls her out for her stupidity.
ReplyDelete"I recently won in court to stop my book "America by Heart" from being leaked,but US Govt can't stop Wikileaks' treasonous act?"
ReplyDeleteI guess this is the Palin way of sticking their middle finger at the government.
Gee I wonder where I heard that type of childish expression before? Could it be from that Palin butterball who could barely move her fat azz on DWTS?
John McCain must be so proud that his creature is maturing. Just think what he could have done to improve her with the full power of the presidency at his command.
ReplyDeleteStuffed her in an undisclosed location, most likely. With a blackberry that has the keys painted on.
The only way Palin can make the North Korea goof go away is to get STUPIDER and LOUDER every day.
Sarah simple doesn't understand much of anything because she doesn't want to try to think things through.
ReplyDeleteShe favors talking over thinking, and it shows.
Favorite saying displayed in a teacher's room: Please put brain in gear before speaking.
Hey, Sarah, think before you speak.
See - simple, huh?
Sarah had her Publishing goons get on that leak right quick.
ReplyDeleteHer own leak (you know what we talk about) not so much. The lengths they went to to have a fish picker born in Alaska. . .only to leave him with grandma Palin for the famous fishing scenes in SPA.
Back to her inexplicable conclusion and / corrolation, how's that journalism degree workin out for ya Sarah?
welcome to the fuctard500...
ReplyDeleteI really can't wait for them to GO AWAY and stay there (in AZ) and never hear from any of them again.
Thanks G for your dedication at exposing the fraud family!
To the rest of the Media: Quit giving her a voice already. Only her cult followers give a shit about her twits and FB spaz outs!!!
Forget trying to stop her, can we please encourage journalists to stop covering her every asinine twat? She refuses to speak outside the Fox News bubble, so why exactly is she still treated as someone credible?
ReplyDeleteHey RETARD you claim you raised a combat vet, but Track does not have a Combat Infantry Badge. Ya grifter you also claim Joe Miller is a combat vet, I starting to thing that was a lie too and it can be easily verified like the lie you told about your son.
ReplyDeletehttp://theimmoralminority.blogspot.com/2010/11/tonight-spa-moves-away-from-recent.html
Hey, the more she tweets, speaks or rants, the less most people think of her.
ReplyDeleteIf only she would be content to simply look stupid, but no, she has to go and prove it - almost every single day.
You'd think her advisers would have the guts to tell her she is harming herself by tweeting such ignorance and petty statements.
Guess she's hired only those who either live in fear or her or worship her without question. I guess they don't realize how much they are harming themselves by associating and promoting such an ignoramus.
Sarah Palin's new slogan: "Really Dumb, and Proud of it!"
ReplyDeleteShe should have sued Harper Collins to prevent it from publishing the book.
ReplyDeleteThe IQ of gravel is higher than Palin's. Won't someone please shut this twit up.
ReplyDeleteFound this quote on Andrew Sullivan, The Daily Dish, this week-end:
ReplyDelete"The struggle of man against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting."
The associated article was good, and SP and the bots are brought to mind.
My eyes are bleeding after this stupidity.
ReplyDeleteOne of the nutwig's handlers should not let her Red Bull Tweet.
Now where did I put the American citizenship papers for the Wikileaks guy?
Palin truly is an idiot.
Actually, Sarah, your book WAS leaked. Hence the legal action.
ReplyDeleteSo please stop acting like you or Harper Collins "stopped" anything from happening, because something DID happen.
Your book was leaked. So much for your crack book security squad.
$Hitler Palin. I like it.
ReplyDeleteIn NaziPalinLand we wouldn't have any of this nasty business of leaking government secret criminal activities by Dick Cheney and $owah Payme. NoSireeBob!
So... let me get this straight:
ReplyDeletePeople are not so terrified of Pres. Obama that they freely challenge his authority by leaking U.S. Govt. information.
I find this strangely comforting:)
Gryphen, you left out the equally obvious difference - the WikiLeaks materials were published abroad. The US courts cannot tell Der Spiegel or The Guardian what they may print, and even if they were to enjoin re-publication within the US, it would be a silly and futile gesture, thanks to the internet. If the person or persons who leaked the materials are discovered and are subject to the jurisdiction of US courts, they can be prosecuted, but that won't put the genie back in the bottle.
ReplyDeleteNot only the reason you cite, but Wikileaks is not hosted in the USA or Run by an American Citizen. Ours laws don't really mean squat in this case.
ReplyDeleteDoncha know that Ellsberg is where Elle Magazine is published!
ReplyDeleteEven if it were possible to stop the leaks and the government was able to succeed, she would spin it and complain about freedom of speech, or press or something like their freedoms being taken away...............she is getting close to getting her block knocked by some loon out there that just can't take it anymore. She is worse than a spoiled child. AGAIN, I feel sorry for her mommy.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know why we don't stop WikiLeaks because that isn't my area - that said - intuitively I knew that the government could not put the kibosh on WikiLeaks.
ReplyDeleteHad I tried to justify why, I would have thought, oh, it's anonymous, or it's off in another country where we don't have jurisdiction, or it has some other sort of immunity. Because of course the US Government does not want certain things made available to our enemies.
My point is, if one thinks things through, one might decide this doesn't compare to that, then I might ask for help; $owah PayMe doesn't think things through and she's beyond help.
Does she have no one to at least tell her she is stupid and uneducated and should stop saying anything? She is a moron and it is more apparent every single day. I'm sure she doesn't even know that everyone halfway intelligent is laughing at her. Sad and really frightening.
ReplyDeleteWell simple minded Sarah wants us to think her book is as important as "Wikileaks". If we are to follow her not so bright, "logic", she says Obama Admin.is incompetent in not stopping the leaks....well so was your publisher....but then, this just might take too much learning, and even the ghost writers
ReplyDeleteare hiding..Twitterless without a brain.
Anon @ 10:49 is right:
ReplyDelete"...she's said it, her minions will repeat it over and over and believe it as if it's exactly true. The poorly educated people who follow Palin will lick up whatever BS she spews."
Sad. Really sad.
For us.
I can't wait for her now obligatory
ReplyDelete"No, what I MEANT was..." Tweet tomorrow!
You said it's Monday right? Well there's more. Check out her latest Facebook rant.
ReplyDelete"Serious Questions about the Obama Administration's Incompetence in the Wikileaks Fiasco" by Sarah Palin
My eighth grade Civics students could have figured out the difference in these situations easily. (Lest you think I teach at an "elitist" middle school: today is the first of a 3 day school holiday for deer hunting season!) If my cammo clad 14 year olds with deer rifles could have easily explained the difference between SP's book and Wikkileaks, any moron - particularly one with such fantastic skeet shooting skills (yuk, yuk, yuk...don't even get me started on the skeet shooting..so BOGUS!!)- should have been able to, as well.
ReplyDeleteok. its official. this lady is insane.
ReplyDeletewow.
WHAT a inbred dumb ass.
Palin could not care less that she proposes an absurd argument. All she knows is that she can pretend to link the leaks in 140 characters or less and her low information bots will shriek in delight. As she told Halcro after the gubernatorial debate: facts don't matter.
ReplyDeleteinexplicable.
ReplyDeleteThat palin used the word correctly or even used the word at all.
Does anybody really believe she wrote that?
Palin believes that the Constitution is there for her enjoyment and use only.
Speaking of "treasonous acts", John McCain should be evaluated for "high treason". Looks like his misdeeds will be with us for a long time, sort of like the "Nazi Raccoons".
ReplyDeletehttp://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/05/25/AR2007052502272.html
Well, the first response is: "Oh you won in court?? Then I must not have read all those excerpts from your stupid book all over the internet for the past couple weeks. Court, huh? Well that should seal it then."
ReplyDeleteWhat annoys me is when sites just puke out what she writes without explaining why she is wrong to the bots. Politico did that today with this story.
ReplyDeleteSilver lining: Sarah will manage to over-expose her own stupidity, pettiness, and spitefulness if she keeps this up. She's starting to look just plain silly on the national stage even to those who are uninterested in her. Just a nuisance, a screechy mischief-maker among all the grownups trying to handle important, serious business at hand. Of course, some of us know she's much more craven than that.
ReplyDeleteThe fact it took her over 12 hours to compose a message in 140 characters or less clearly indicates it's too challenging!!!
ReplyDeleteHer negative IQ has again been exposed!
More BS from McCan't on Wikileaks tomorrow as he is scheduled for interview on GMA with Stephanopoulos. Anyone hear anything about George - I seriously think he's a closet Bagger.
Uh oh...wee wee'd up are we, Sarah? The Wikileaks "leaks" are not leaks at all. The information is available to anyone intellectually curious to investigate for themselves. That leaves you out, half governor.
ReplyDeleteWait for it! The new talking point going into next year and the primaries is, "Obama is incompentent" or "he is inexperience".
ReplyDeleteBoth Princess Dumbass and McShame have used these talking points in the past couple of days.
So how did she "stop" the Gawker leak? All she did was get a court to say they had to remove them,after they were posted and leaked to the world.
ReplyDeleteOld grizzly needs to have a look at the BARACK OBAMA MANTRA.
ReplyDeletehttp://fromthebottomofthebarrel.wordpress.com/
HAHAHAHA
She went further, said this is allllll Obama's fault, said that Julian Assange should have been arrested, that his employees should have been investigated, had their assets frozen, and that Julian Assange is the same as Osama Bin Laden.
ReplyDeleteBut, she's FOR freedom and Barack Obama is a tyrant intent on turning the US into a dictatorship. Right...
People, wake up, smell the moose chili...Sarah's not going to be running for president; she's going to be running for dictator.
There are no if's, and's or but's about it; Palin is a fucking retarded twit.
ReplyDeleteSarah, you halibut brain: You DIDN'T stop the leak of your book. Guess what, it WAS leaked.
ReplyDeleteAs for her Gawker win - NOT. There has been no Court hearing as yet.
ReplyDeleteDocuments were filed and the only thing that happened so far was a Judge ordered the pages removed from Gawker.
How the Palins can breath amazes me in that the BS factor is so high in their bubble, a pig farm has more air to breath.
The publisher of Wikileaks is a foreigner. As in not American. As in cannot commit treason therefore also too. Duh.
ReplyDeleteShe's a scary sociopath leading a cult of Morons. I've never seen such a mentally disturbed group of Americans.
ReplyDelete...but, but, I thought $ista $arah
ReplyDeletewanted government out of peoples lives .... jeeze,louise... her left hand doesn't know what her right hand is talking about.... again!
SP is obsessed with leaks. It is the one thing she fears the most. Someone will leak the wrong information about her. Not one of her saintly Peebotheads, but a rogue family member.
ReplyDeleteo/t: There is a member of the Johnston family that married into family that loves Sarah and Todd Palin. It is a family with an interesting group of military, prison system and fire department employees. They seem to have a fortune to spend, I guess they earn bank at those jobs in Alaska. They speak in the "cult" tongue. Love of God and family. They are all divorced and remarried and half of the kids are confused about who is the parent of who, crazy mixed up family values, anti-healthcare, anti-Obama and on the same page as Sarah. Some of the kids are wild drunks with photos and they party with Bristol and Levi's old hockey friends. One God loving happy family with young child is divorcing after a marriage of two to three years. Hubby works his butt off, goes to the slope and wifey has too much time to party.
Gryphen, are you checking out that family? One of the Dad's worked with boys like Track and the Morlock boy.
Agreed, Anon @1:36.
ReplyDeleteIt's really just embarrassing at this point.
I guess if McCain compares you to Ronald Reagan and Matthews compares you to Bill Clinton, you can get by with just about anything. Of course you can compare the leaking of a few pages of a fiction book to the leaking of STATE SECRETS. Black is white isn't it?
ReplyDeleteIt isn't a huge surprise that Sarah's fb rant and suggestions for how to deal with Wikileaks are not her ideas.
ReplyDeleteShe sounds awfully similar to former Bush-era US State Department official Christian Whiton as well as other Repub. pundits and politicians.
Of course, her fans think the concepts come straight from her brilliant brain and are singing her praises and begging her to deliver us.

$arah, Shut The Fuck Up!
ReplyDeleteSarah will say anything to be in the media every single day. Her goal is name recognition. Soon, every single person on Earth will know the name Sarah Palin. The only problem with her tactic is that might not associate Sarah Palin with the words "serious presidential contender."
ReplyDeleteAs I understand it, Assange (the guy who perpetrated the leak) lives in Australia and is an Australian citizen - therefore, outside our legal limit. It's up to the Aussies to do anything if at all.
ReplyDeleteJulian Assange of Wikileaks is not an American citizen and Wikileaks is not located in the U.S. So Sarah thinks we can control what is said and done elsewhere by foreign nationals? Right. Not!!!! And I'll bet she still believes in the tooth fairy.
ReplyDeleteIgnorance thy name is Sarah.
Track Palin was in Iraq for 2 years!!!! He made his mother proud!!!! She fears no leaks!!!!
ReplyDeleteNoting that the couple’s oldest son, Track, 19, was shipping out to Iraq in eight days with the Army infantry, Palin praised McCain as “a true profile in courage, and people like that are hard to come by.”
Cleaning up the state of Alaska is Governor Sarah Palin with a sexy handsome Todd look alike.
Meet the Extended Family on Tomorrow Night’s ‘Sarah Palin’s Alaska’ Breitbart
Firstly she didn't win a case. Her publishers lawyers did.
ReplyDeleteSecondly our treason laws do not apply to non Americans not living in America.
For her to claim either of the above two is beyond stupid it is utterly brainless.
Sarah constantly nags that the media "makes things up" does not "double check" it facts.
Yet her she is again for the thousandth time making absurd claims the a few moments on the phone or on Google would have told her were wildly incorrect.
How in hell does she, or her backers, expect to make budget decisions and foreign affair decisions and Commander in Chief decision when she is so consistently willfully factually wrong?
Anon 10:32
ReplyDelete"What I find more amazing than her blatant stupidity, is the fact that time after time after time of tweeting her idiotic thoughts, that there is no one there to stop her."
Like herself.
She continues to be wrong over and over and is called out on it over and over and she does not learn that others are checking her statements and calling her out day after day and maybe she should be more careful what she says.
Is Christmas too far away for Palin to write another Ode to Victimhood Rant, blaming the lamestream media for misinterpreting her message and ruining another holiday for millions?
ReplyDeleteSurely there is somebody in Wasilla with the dirt on Palin that can be 'leaked' to Julian Assange?
ReplyDeleteDoes Palin understand that laws written in the U.S. do not apply to foreign countries? Does she even know Wikileaks is not an American product? How does she propose to stop other countries from releasing it?
ReplyDeleteI guess we should be thankful, no cover charge and no two drink minimum. And the jokes just keep coming. Thank you Blackberry!
Hey SArah,
ReplyDeleteNice divsersionary tactic. Focus on Wikileaks rather than amniotic fluid leaks, right??
You can also add these to the "I can't believe she said that, either" pile. It proves she does not do any research, she just reacts, over and over again! I keep reading references to her handlers and have to laugh. How can anyone believe this woman has handlers? If she did, they would have to be fired because they certainly aren't doing anything to help her. Oh, and neither are her advisors! Why aren't her advisors doing a better job is asked frequently, too. Sarah doesn't need no stinkin' help, she's edumakated better than any advisors or handlers and she's gonna do and say whatever she wants to until the courts tell her she can't. Then when she gets to be Queen, she likes that title better than President, nobody is going to be able to tell her what to do because she's changing all the rules!
ReplyDeleteYou know, there's a completely different perspective on this. Have any of you seen Wikileaks?
ReplyDeleteThere's a LOT of different topics. One that I found completely worthy was the emails of Nazi David Irving.
There's expose on North Korea. The Bildeberger.
In some ways, this guy is a gutsy hero in a world of manipulation, power-brokering and lack of transparency in politics. He's exposing deals in smoke-filled back rooms.
All those things that Sarah and the Amway Christian Teabaggers talk about.
