Has Sarah The Quitter asked for Pigboy and Glenn Beck to be taken off the air waves yet for their blatant use of the term "retard"? Her selective-victimhood is quite obvious and speaks volumes about this moron, huh? Of course we heard from Levi that Sarah refers to her youngest as 'my little retarded son' so she ought to keep her manufactured outrage to her own dumb fucking self. RWers are soooooooooo fucking stupid, especially KKKitty, famed racist and #1 RW ass kisser..

Afraid? Stupid is not scarey. I hope to God she gets elected and gets republican majorities in both houses. The sooner we finish what Bush started the better off we will be. Then we can start from scratch. Let's get this thing kicked off, KKKitty.

By the way, 1 of 8 people in this country needs food assistance. I'm sure you are among them. It's hard to tell, however, as fat as you are.

At least you didn't lie and say you're not receiving food stamps. So, you do know that Obuma's socialist congress is going bye bye this November. You're a very asstoot person.

Palin Assails Obama at Tea Party Meeting

snip.

NASHVILLE – As Sarah Palin left the stage at the inaugural National Tea Party Convention here Saturday night, the crowd erupted into chants of “Run Sarah Run!”

“I think you like her!” said Judson Phillips, the chief organizer of the convention, when the ovation finally stopped and people had stepped down from the chairs where they had been standing and waving flags.

Ms. Palin gave the Tea Party crowd exactly what they wanted to hear, declaring the primacy of the Tenth Amendment in limiting government powers, complaining about the bailouts and the “generational theft” of rising deficits, and urging the audience to back conservative challengers in contested primaries.

“America is ready for another revolution!” she told the crowd, prompting the first of several standing ovations.

The speech was closely watched as a potential signal of Ms. Palin’s political future and the extent to which the convention would embrace her. But Ms. Palin, while aligning herself firmly with the Tea Party, nevertheless urged the 1,100 delegates who had gathered in a hotel ballroom not to let the movement be defined by any one leader.

“This is about the people, and it’s bigger than any one king or queen of a tea party, and it’s a lot bigger than any charismatic guy with a teleprompter,” she said.

Yeah, she read her message that somebody had prepared for her. A combination of Beck and Pigboy. But like all republicans they can't say what they would do all they do is demean others. So we learned nothing from Sarah except she has no original thoughts and she really doesn't read very well. Very little eye contact with the audience. And that screeching voice.....damn!

Seems Sarah has done something no other political aspirant has done.

She's signaled that she has allegiance to two flags.

Glenn Greenwald sees through Sarah like a pane of glass:


The Washington Post, yesterday, on Sarah Palin's Tea Party speech:

[Palin] had on three opera-length strands of pearls, two white and one multi-colored. [O]n her lapel, a small pin with two flags -- for Israel and the United States.


In its adulating report on Palin's speech, National Review -- whose Rich Lowry and Jonah Goldberg both bitterly complained about the waving of Mexican flags on U.S. soil -- also proudly noted: "On her lapel, Palin wore a small pin with two flags -- for Israel and the United States." Along with the fact that she remains deeply unpopular with most Jewish-American voters, Palin's flamboyant display of her so-called love for Israel -- she previously boasted that the Israeli flag was the "only" one she kept in her Gubernatorial office -- is almost certainly grounded in her creepy desire to mold America's foreign policy to fit her evangelical belief that God demands that "Israeli land" be unified under Israeli control in order for Jesus to return and sweep all the good Christians up to heaven in Rapture (while banishing everyone else -- including the Jews she loves so much -- straight to hell forever). That's one major reason why neocons such as Bill Kristol love her. Led by Joe Lieberman, neocons have repeatedly shown their willingness to cynically exploit extremist Christian Rapture dogma for greater American fealty towards Israeli actions, and Palin reliably spouts neoconservative dogma on virtually every issue.

More from Glennzilla:

All of this underscores both (a) the total incoherence of the "tea party movement" and (b) how it is, at bottom, nothing more than a cynical marketing attempt to re-brand the right wing of the Republican Party under the exact same policies and principles which defined it for the last couple of decades. As I've noted before, there are many individual participants in this "tea party movement" with valid populist grievances against the sleaze and corruption of both parties in Washington, but it's all being directed towards a pedestrian goal that has nothing to do with any of those sentiments: namely, the re-empowerment of the Republican Party in completely unchanged form. Palin last night righteously condemned the Wall Street bailout even though she (like Glenn Beck) supported that bailout. She wears the banner of "freedom" and "individual liberty" even as she mocks the notion that our laws and Constitution -- the instruments by which we restrain government power -- ought to limit what the President can do in the name of national security; cheers for the omnipotent Surveillance State; and demands that her religious beliefs form the basis of government intervention in people's lives. She rails against government debt while supporting the policies largely responsible for its explosion: namely, limitless increases in military spending and endlessly expanded wars and imperial policies (primarily in the Middle East and oh-so-coincidentally aimed at Muslims).

Based on here apparent support for Alaskan independence given her speech at their convention where she expresses it, and subsequent speeches that make it clear what they stand for one has to wonder if her U.S. flag is as fraudulent for her as the one for Israel.

See! It is just as I have been saying....Sara the Baracuda's hate sppeches during the campaigns were deliberate and her goal is to totally disrupt the United States and the end being a civil war if need be. We need to arrest her and put her on trial for sedition now before she really gets the crazies all fired up and they start killing innocent people.

Perpetrating hoaxes again, I see.

The first of her address sounds like any "welcome" a governor of a nothing state would present if only to get the hotel business. Very inoffensive. Then she says she intends to "uphold the Constitution..." and you think, OK, she's making it clear she does not countenance dissolution of the Union. But when she finishes, she says, "...of our state."

It's then you know, she will say anything and doubletalk anything to work the rubes.

She'll run if God opens that door she's been waiting to have opened. God! God! God!


nytimes

snip.

NASHVILLE — Sarah Palin said she would consider a run for president in 2012 “if I believe that that is the right thing to do for our country and for the Palin family,” according to a television interview broadcast Sunday morning.

“It would be absurd to not consider what it is that I can potentially do to help our country,” she told host Chris Wallace on the news program “Fox News Sunday” in an interview conducted a few hours before her Saturday night address at the inaugural National Tea Party Convention in Nashville. “I won’t close the door that perhaps could be open for me in the future.”

Those words were buttressed by the response she received inside the convention Saturday night. As Ms. Palin left the convention stage, the crowd erupted into chants of “Run, Sarah, Run.”

Sarah Palin is driving the liberals up a WALL.

WHy?

The more people see her and hear her, the more they like her.
A big reason is that they respect her honesty.People do not feel they getting a con job.

Conversely, the opposite is happening with Obama. People no longer trust what he says. And he certainly has earned that mistrust. He can lie with a straight face as well as Clinton or any good lawyer.

Can you back that up? Because I don't think she does have especially low approval ratings; that's the thing about populists, especially ones that make angry speeches in angry times.

If the people get mad enough at Obalamabama, her approvals may go up. I don't think she could get too far, Fox is just milking her for the ratings, IMO, but we could be wrong. Look at Wallace. He ran for prez. And Eugene McCarthy. Everyone says they don't have a chance, don't have a chance, too stupid, too this, too that, but then they end up throwing the whole election off.

And I do think Perot for one could have won, if he hadn't gone crazy and dropped out.

Not good to underestimate while trying to propagandize people that everything is already all over.

Actually she is both popular and unpopular.

She does need to knock down here negatives.

As I have said before, I think she should sit this one (2012) out. This is what she needs to do:

1. Work hard to get Reoublicans elected in 2010.

2. Continue to speak out. Right now she has the 2nd most powerful bully pulpit in the nation and people are growing tired of the Messiah's act (Mix one part straw man with one part blame Bush; stir; talk a lot about yourself and there you have every Obama speech since last January).

3. In September 2011 announc that she will not be candidate. This will put here in position to select the Republican nominee and drive the agenda trhat they run on.

4. If a Republican wins take a cabinet post - Secretary of Energy for example.

5. Look to run in 2020.

Add to the list of things Sarah needs to do:

2. For an audience warm-up, Sarah just needs to hire somebody who will bite the head off a chicken. That's the time honored tradition of sideshow shills from the dawn of rube-fleecing.

Former Gov. Sarah Palin's popularity fell dramatically after her resignation, but has risen following her book signing tour. Likely the new mess with her taxes will take another bite out of her.

She's popular, and people like to listen to her 'aw shucks, I'm just like you' Larry "Lonesome" Rhodes schtick, but most will not end up voting for her.

I begin to suspect you are a city person, CB.

The word for the retarded man who would bite heads off chickens was "geek." And it was a back-of-the-canvas show, not legitimate even for country carnivals, which was a lot of the ...pleasure of it.

Sideshow shills were fast-talking, conspicuously dressed men and women who stood at the entrance and described the fascinating curiosities inside, such as freemartin cows twice as big as a normal cow and women even fatter than one's Aunt Gloria.

The more he tells the better.....

Though I question if even the Palin clan has quite as much dirt to expose as the Edwards.
