Re: sarah palin?

the likes of malkin are trying to pass off her stupidity as 'instant trivia', saying that 'character counts' more. because she's shown herself to be of such good character...

Sarah Palin blamed by the US Secret Service over death threats against Barack Obama

Quote:

The Republican vice presidential candidate attracted criticism for accusing Mr Obama of "palling around with terrorists", citing his association with the sixties radical William Ayers.

The attacks provoked a near lynch mob atmosphere at her rallies, with supporters yelling "terrorist" and "kill him" until the McCain campaign ordered her to tone down the rhetoric.

But it has now emerged that her demagogic tone may have unintentionally encouraged white supremacists to go even further.

The Secret Service warned the Obama family in mid October that they had seen a dramatic increase in the number of threats against the Democratic candidate, coinciding with Mrs Palin's attacks.

Michelle Obama, the future First Lady, was so upset that she turned to her friend and campaign adviser Valerie Jarrett and said: "Why would they try to make people hate us?"

The revelations, contained in a Newsweek history of the campaign, are likely to further damage Mrs Palin's credentials as a future presidential candidate. She is already a frontrunner, with Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, to take on Mr Obama in four years time.

Details of the spike in threats to Mr Obama come as a report last week by security and intelligence analysts Stratfor, warned that he is a high risk target for racist gunmen. It concluded: "Two plots to assassinate Obama were broken up during the campaign season, and several more remain under investigation. We would expect federal authorities to uncover many more plots to attack the president that have been hatched by white supremacist ideologues."

Irate John McCain aides, who blame Mrs Palin for losing the election, claim Mrs Palin took it upon herself to question Mr Obama's patriotism, before the line of attack had been cleared by Mr McCain.

Just another reason to loathe this vile woman.

McCain/Palin supporters, at least the ones who aren't sick enough to cheer such a thing should it ever actually happen.

I personally wonder if Palin herself is realistic or intelligent enough to recognize that her words very likely did cause this spike in death threats. I tend to think that even if she does, she'll never acknowledge it.

I'm just thankful that so much negative news is coming out about her, and I hope it continues. Anything legitimate that can happen or be said to make a future run for the White House by her impossible is totally welcome in my opinion.

BB, you're sexist for even questioning her. You sexist woman, you.

Honestly, I don't think Palin has the mental capacity for introspection. I want to give her the benefit of the doubt, but I can't just picture it with her. She's cut from the "America has nothing to apologize for" cloth. If something were to happen to Obama, she'd say that was sad and move on five seconds later.

I would expect the first person to question himself would be McCain. It was clear that things didn't go the way he wanted, and despite how much his campaign disgusted me, I think he would be horrified.

Re: sarah palin?

Ugh, looks like she's eyeing 2012 (in a very indirect way). But apart from that, this line is golden:

Quote:

"I'm like, OK, God, if there is an open door for me somewhere, this is what I always pray, I'm like, don't let me miss the open door," Palin said in an interview with Fox News on Monday.

I mean, like, ohmigod! Like, if that door is, like, so totally open, then I'm going to be, like, I gotta go for it, dontcha know?!

(Sorry, couldn't resist. :D)

Re: sarah palin?

I agree with you Sean that Palin probably even lacks the ability of introspection in that sense. I still feel uncomfortable 'hounding' a relatively wet-behind-the-ears (ex-)candidate, but it truly beggars belief how moronic this one turned out to be.

I honestly have to wonder if Republican strategists deliberately chose the most foolish, dimwitted female candidate they could possibly find as a way of sticking two fingers up to the prospect of breaking through the glass ceiling and womens representation in politics generally. The whole thing almost seems like a tasteless joke by them.

Re: sarah palin?

"Regarding the reported Africa gaffe, Palin said, "And never, ever did I talk about, well, gee, is it a country or is it a continent? I just don't know about this issue. So I don't know how they took our one discussion on Africa and turned that into what they turned it into ... Along those same lines, of course, was the criticism that supposedly I didn't know who the participants in NAFTA were."

Still not much of a denial; just a fudge-it-and-move-on-quickly dismissal...

she knows she's inexperienced. she knows she's sneaking in the back door of a club she would never be admitted to otherwise. she deserves to be raked over the coals for her actions.

i honestly think the republican strategists thought they would get away with it. the modern republican party is marked by one distinct quality: hubris. i think they knew they were trying to pull an eliza doolittle here and pass off a mealy-mouthed backwater hillbilly as a seasoned statesman. they were overconfident in their ability to use spin and the social psychology of party-wide victimization to manipulate the public into believing the illusion they were trying to create.

and i honestly think they had no idea that she would be too headstrong and arrogant to submit to their image control. not to mention that after this many years of republican style-over-substance shenanigans the public has gotten suspicious of their spin.

She cannot keep even the most trivial story straight; she repeats untruths with a ferocity and calm that is reserved only to the clinically unhinged; she has the educational level of a high school drop-out; and regards ignorance as some kind of achievement.

Gov. Palin likes to keep it real...real dumb.

Andrew Sullivan has been rightly tough on Palin. I only begun reading his website since about 3 months ago. I truly had no idea he was fairly conservative.

Particularly liked this:

It was a final product of the now-exhausted strategy of fomenting fundamentalist resentment to elect politicians dedicated to the defense of Israel and the extension of American military hegemony in every corner of the globe. Palin was the reductio ad absurdum of this mindset: a mannequin candidate, easily controlled ideologically, deployed to fool and corral the resentful and the frightened, removed from serious scrutiny and sold on propaganda networks like a food product.

Not sure I agree with this though:

Quote:

That the press felt required to maintain a facade of normalcy for two months - and not to declare the whole thing a farce from start to finish - is a sign of their total loss of nerve.

I'd swap press for electorate, or commentators - but what else could the press have done? As it was, there were complaints that they went too far. Going further would have turned her into a martyr/victim and made them look like disruptors of the democratic process, making her even more appealing to some.

But yes, "This deluded and delusional woman still doesn't understand what happened to her; still has no self-awareness; and has never been forced to accept her obvious limitations." - unfortunately that's absolutely the impression I get too.

Sarah Palin Turkey Incident: Does TV Interview While Turkeys Are Slaughtered In The Background (VIDEO)

"On Thursday, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin appeared in Wasilla in order to pardon a local turkey in anticipation of Thanksgiving. This proved to be a slightly absurd but ultimately unremarkable event. But what came next was positively surreal. After the pardon Palin proceeded to do an interview with a local TV station while the turkeys were being SLAUGHTERED in the background!!"

Seriously, the comedy just never ends. :D
(unless you happen to be the turkey)

Re: parah salin?

It's pretty magical that she's actually saying "you need a little levity in this job" as a turkey is dying in the background.

And a rare moment of Palin being right as she mentions that she'll "probably invite criticism by doing this"

Crazy stuff. :rolleyes:

Exactly. It's a silly PR flub. Go "pardon" a turkey, and then do interviews in front of all it's friends getting slaughtered.
