Foreign Press says what America won't - Sarah Palin is a Traitor

Finally an article that lays out the reality of Sarah Palin.
Foreign Press Says What America's Won't: Sarah Palin is a Traitor
:thumbsup:

Remember when Bush II was President and how the right wingers would cry bloody murder if anyone questioned the President's policies, calling event the mildest critics unpatriotic, traitorous, treasonous, etc.? Where are they now? We are at war. Where is all the rallying around the flag?

I love this quote:

Quote:

â??By attacking the democratically elected President of the United States of America at a sensitive time in her countryâ??s history, she shows the tact of a boorish drunkard bawling obscenities at a funeralâ?¦."

It's interesting/funny to see the brain trust of the republican party (what little remains) coming out to critique Palin. Did you see the Ed Rollins editorial? Clearly they are shitting themselves that she is going to share their podium in the primaries. She really brings out the base(st) elements... I really hope she runs. Oh please please please...

Palin, I knew Reagan. You're no Reagan

i think that the tighty righties are going to let her continue to stir up the hornets nest and when it suits their purpose, they are going to throw her under the bus big time before the primaries. And you are right Bigs when you refer to the Bush years. The neocons screamed about being unpatriotic to anyone who criticized Bush. The thing is, we all criticized Bush for his stupidity, his rashness, his arrogance, and his pandering to his cronies. I don't recall anyone questioning his Americanism, or his religion, or whether he was born in the US or whether he was hitler or a muslim terrorist or a kenyan witchdoctor. These radical righties would be executed as traitors if this was WWI or WWII. Those that got us into this war are the first ones who want us to forget that we are still fighting it. The biggest threat to this country is ignorance pure and simple, and Sarah is the drum majorette of that tea party parade. To quote one of the editors of politicsusa...holy black jesus is she stupid!:thumbsup:

Ms Palin stands for a level of vitriolic, simmering revulsion so steeped in delusions of self-righteousness, itâ??s tough to swim to sanity once youâ??ve been washed in the blood her particular lamb.

:cool: I enjoyed that, thanks. I voted for McCain and her, and I admit I watched her show where she bago tripped with the family :D, but yeah, she is a bit of an enigma. kinda cartoon like, straight outa central casting for the hockey mom vote, but these ruskies :jointsmile: should realize that all this hateful fear mongering crap we see on cable tv (from both sides of the coin) is just business. its sole purpose is to sell clothes and shit.

that said, tv is a portal straight from hell so everyone should get rid of 'em anyways. :stoned: :D

ALWAYS question authority. I don't care what is happening always hold your government responsible. Makes no difference which thugs are in power or how many wars we're in at the time, always question what these idiots are doing.

That was a good read. Thanks for posting. The article sums up so nicely the BS we see posted by republican/tea party types on the CanCom politics board. Mainly, the absence of intellectual honesty and ability; a win at all costs, scorched earth approach to politics that puts party before nation, and corporate moneyed interests before the middle class.

I am doubtful that any of our righty friends will offer any meaningful analysis as to where/how this article misses the point. But let's give them the opportunity to offer up some observations. Please Islandboy, Rusty, et al, tell us why the underlying premise of this article is wrong? Where do you take exception?

If nothing else, this article demonstrates what is so wrong with the right wingnuts in this country. In effort to appeal to their base, the right is in a downward spiral to the bottom, dismissing hard analysis as the trips and traps of the "educated elite," and in favor of hockey mom's leading the nation.

It's one thing to question what they are doing. It's quite another to say our president is hitler or doesn't love this country. And it's not a fine line either. Criticism is one thing, but hate speech is destructive to our democracy and to the ignorant sheep who hear it and repeat it as if it were not only the truth, but fact. When the ignorant sheep lose their unemployment benefits, their homes, their pensions, their social security, and their medicare, they can look in the mirror and blame themselves for putting republicans back in power.

Oh yes. Absolutely right. A very wise teacher once told me to question everything - a lesson that has taken me far. But that is different than employing a strategy of undermining/opposing everything in an effort to win at all costs. The latter is simply rooting for America to fail for your own political gain. I know you can see the difference.

The foreign press says? Who cares even the SLIGHTEST what the foreign press has to say on just about anything?

Sarah Palin is hilarious......the PRESIDENT himself responds when she posts on facebook dudes. She will take her place next to Rush as a thorn in the loony lefts side for the next 30 or so years.

They fear her......and did ya see her take down that massive moose at 200 yards? Then gut and meat the big bastard? Gangsta.:pimp:

I'd be nervous too if I were ya'll.:)

in retrospect, this author is absolutely correct. Sarrah Palin just needs to shut the fuck up and go away. :twocents:

yeah, I don't personally blame anyone but the shooter for his actions but even if this horrible event did not happen we have to stop and ask ourselves what exactly is the message of these people? that they are true Americans who believe in The Constitution but if they lose an election they will take out their guns and open fire on their opponents. :wtf:

Sadly, I guess I hadn't really being paying attention to all this until now. I guess we do need to target this culture of hate of violence that has infected our politics. I would have never said a word about Palin if she wasn't STILL running her damn mouth, talking about how in the old days there was duals, etc. :wtf: somebody please, for the love of god, put a damn muzzle on the bitch.

I agree, this bitch is cashing in far, far more then she or what she does or doesn't do is worth. Time to put a gag order on her rhetoric and send her back to the private world of Wasilla. :D

well, in fairness to IB, he did post that before this horrible event happened but ... yeah, thats a pretty good example. no offense IB.

I did think the President had a very inspiring message tonight. I believe he was reading from the book of Job. finding light in the darkness or something.

Isn't that the point? People need to take responsibility for their actions. Think before you speak. Too little too late isn't good enough. Shouting fire in a crowded theater is a crime for a reason.

^ thats true, it is exactly the point, but ... it strikes me as bit unfair to pull IB's quote from before the tragedy. it is out of context, IB and I have been having an ongoing discussion about moose hunting in general that has crossed several threads, so its a bit disingenuous, I think to point out this particular quote, but I'm not going to argue that point. IB made a public statement after the event and offered his prayers for the family.

But I do agree that we need to watch what people are saying more closely and I think your shouting fire in a theater analogy is exactly correct, that is the same thing I have been saying. :twocents:

Im Pretty far on the RIGHT, And by no means Do any off these right bitches represent me in Washington....

Second....Palin is not gangster....Its only 200 yards with a high powered scope lol and Her "team" Is practically doing everything for her....Shes nothing but a cult of personality.

The left is scared of Palin...... and should PRAY she doesn't get a political science genius like Axelrod or Rove on her team.

The lefts new mantra is Blame Bush, Palin, or the Jews.

Blame Bush? Sure, there is plenty to lay at the feet of his administration - you know the routine, he started with a record surplus, ended with a record deficit, took us into a war or choice, left our economy in ruins, and on and on. It's not a mantra, these are facts.

But Palin? She is only guilty of being a money grubbing fool who roots for America to fail unless you are from Alaska in which case you might hold her accountable for abdicating her duties after 2 years in office but I don't really care about that though I do find it laughable. I'm just afraid she'll get another year of reality TV. Ha ha ha.

Blame the Jews? You'll need to back that statement up which of course you can't do. Nothing like a little Jew baiting from the right, eh?

Obama has just continued Bushs spending spree, and instead of addressing the deficit and jobs, ideologue Obama chose obamacare.....and we all know how popular that is(chuckle), cost him his majorities and every penny of his political capital. His new budget is a joke and even liberal columnist Andrew Sullivan points that out..... a 2 second google search will pull that up.

This is ALL obamas economy now, his unemployment, and if ya really believe the American electorate is gonna listen to blame bush in 2012 your mistaken. Didn't work in 2010. Dems gotta hold 44 seats in 2 years, repubs only 11. Tsunami.

Sarah Palin is nothing, a mouthpiece. A talking point..... That the president has to respond to when she posts on facebook.

I had forgotten you were a friend of Israel now bigsby, my bad, it is a awsome place to party!!

On another great piece of news for the current state of affairs, as of today, the national debt equals the ENTIRE national economy. Massive spending cuts coming wether Obama wants them or not......across the board..... some are gonna hurt everyone but that's the way it's gotta be.

It's also a PLEASURE to watch the developments in the middle east...people taking shit back.

My disgust for Israeli policies and our complicity in promoting those policies has nothing to do with left blaming the Jews, as you stated.

So once again, show some balls and back up your statement that the left blames the Jews (I'm not sure for what, it was your statement). We know you can't back that up so why not stop now instead of once again demonstrating your willingness to say anything to gain a few cheap points with the right.

The rights concern for the debt is laughable. Three months ago they insisted that we add $400 BILLION to our nation debt so that they could give tax cuts to the top 2% of income earners. That is in effect $400 billion in additional spending. Are we now supposed to take seriously $60 billion in cuts to social programs? What a joke.

Yeah, careful what you wish for. Democracy is a bitch. 30 years supporting that dictator is going to have blow back. Pretty soon those Arabs are "gonna to be taking shit back across the board.... some are gonna hurt everyone but that's the way it's gotta be."

Can I ask what does one NutJob wanting to "Start a revolution" Have anything to do with the rest of the 150 million gun Owners who will suffer their rights...? So we take away semiauto guns...Then you will just drive up the black market trade..Or it forces a nutjob uses a bolt action and kills a few less people before hes taken out. I know it sounds harsh but a few extra lives from a bad incident that was gonna happen no matter what tool he used is going to take away the saftey of MILLIONS of people to be able to defend themselves...Wheres the Logic in that? The guy was clearly a fucking nutjob and needed help...Dont Blame a Tool. There is no Perfect world, People have been killing each other sence the sharpened stick.

Wow - all I can say is, you nailed it dude. Way to sum it all up.

Yeah, I didn't think so Islandboy; gutless ball-less as usual. But please, prove me wrong. Show everyone that you were not Jew-baiting with your statements. Demonstrate for us when and where the Left in this country has blamed the Jews for anything.
