Sarah Palin's Awfulness Equals Disney's (barf)

Just how bad is Sarah Palin’s candidacy for vice-president?

It’s like a really bad Disney movie.

I’ve replayed Matt Damon’s Disney comment a dozen times and I’m still laughing. It comes at about 40 seconds into the video clip.

Cartoon Brew is a great blog about animation; so is Mark Evanier's (newsfromme.com). However, of course, CB's Jerry Beck and Amid Amidi and also Evanier are definitely libs. Here, Amidi shares his political views and gets an earful from both sides of the aisle. Check comments too. (I just posted a comment linking to the "Lying King" video posted on YouTube, via Newsbusters; it's awaiting moderation)

Looney Tunes meets looney libs.

Hehehe...every lib, leftist, marxist, pervert, and anti-American is coming out of the woodwork over this. Sarah is flushing them all out.

It's great, the more normal Americans who see and hear these attacks, the more they are drawn to Sarah's side.

She is shaking the Democratic leftist-liberal house to its foundation, and bringing it down. She and her family, their faith, their values, and their story represent the absolute refutation of all the tired old liberal mantras and victimology that they malignantly use to mentally, pshycologically, and financially enslave whole classes of people.

From women's rights, to family values, to gun rights, to abortion, to energy policy, to taxation, to envrionmentalism, and on and on...she is a wrecking ball to the leftist, liberal, socialist house.

some of the pro-conservative comments:

—when I brought up that the donkeys nominated another loser,
“frank” says: “It’s the dem’s own fault. Every year they nominate a wacko leftist, try to sell him as a moderate and by Labor Day the makeup is coming off the candidate and his Ch Guevara roots are showing…we did it with Dukakis, Gore and Kerry….what is left for the voter to do….Obama is tissue paper thin when it comes to experience as is Palin, but he’s at the top of the team and she is at the bottom….America deserves better …”

—”rich” says:
“Doesn’t all this liberal ranting expose the Left’s hypocrisy and ignorance?
(snip)
“6. Palin, a mayor and governor is unqualified but a street activist from Chicago is qualified. His time in the state senate is noted for voting “present” and his short time in the U.S. Senate has been spent running for president. Hypocrites. Cartoon Brew is much better at commenting on animation because your political views are Looney Tunes.”

and “jason” says:
“Well, Elan, that’s the liberal mind-set: to diss the intellect and morals of anyone who disagrees with you. I guess that’s why liberal blogs are by and large full of smears, character assassinations and some of the foulest language this side of a fratboy locker room. The same people who embrace the idea of progressiveness (without, apparently, actually grasping it) and believe they champion women’s rights are subjecting Ms. Palin to language and characterization they don’t reserve for terrorists and child pornographers (these are also the same people who boost the star-ratings at Yahoo whenever a piece about violence in Iraq is posted. Yayy! More bloodshed! More innocent victims! More votes for Obama!) Is it any wonder why the country responded so enthusiastically to McCain’s choice of Palin? By doing so, McCain proved he deserves his maverick reputation and is in fact the REAL force for change, and Palin says the things many Americans have been aching to hear. Instead of the defeatist guilt-tripping mantra Obama has been spewing, we hear the words of a man who has actually taken political risks (the choice of Palin is just one of many) and has lived the principles he champions. How can a shallow man like Obama and a mere politician like Biden compete with that?”

Just wondering what the comment about Palin believing there were dinosaurs here 6,000 years ago is based on?

[raccoonradio]

There was talk on the Howie Carr show that “well maybe they think she’s a fundamentalist and she thinks the world has only been around for 4,000 years or so” (or maybe a bit more?)

[Jonx6]

That was too funny!

Thanks for that post.

[Sigurdrifta]

I believe this is a reference to 17th-century Archbishop James Ussher (sometimes Usher) of the Anglican Church, who supposedly added up the geneologies in the Bible and came to the conclusion that Earth was created in 4004 BC (specifically, 21 September (new style)).

Of course, that would be about 6,000 years ago.
This is of course silly (I believe he actually came up with a time of day at one point!), but it has been a favorite target for “progressive” scientists for many years (I recall a geology class from 40 years ago where it was “emphasized”).

[raccoonradio]

yes I remember hearing that too

[Red_Devil 232]

Yes I am aware of where the 6,000 year number came from. I was wondering where the comment tha Palin believes it. What makes this Matt guy say what he said?

[Sigurdrifta]

I think it is part of what I have been calling the “catechism of the left”. That is, they have a “playbook” of arguments they trot out to startle us and put us on the defensive. I work at a liberal university (boy, talk about an oxymoron), and I have heard this Ussher thing many times.

Here is another example, When I tell them I support the war in Iraq, I can be certain the first thing they respond with will be “And, would you feel the same way if your son were killed there?” (my son has fought there).

It is almost to the point of being a joke. When I sense this coming, I start my stopwatch (to their astonished puzzlement). I later tell them I have an informal competition to see who can first come up with that response (The record so far is 9 seconds, but I am still trying to better it).

What makes this Matt guy say what he said?

According to Hot Air, there was a viral email going around, purporting to be full of facts about Governor Palin. There were several people who apparently thought these 'facts' had been vetted, and proven correct, including at least one columnist, who used the email as a source for their opinions - to their eventual confusion and embarrassment.

It would appear Matt Damon got that email.

[Continental Soldier]

Just curious here... has Damon ever taken an IQ test? If so, can we find out his score? I’m guessing, 85 to 90.

[Tanniker Smith]

I'm guessing that Damon won't be voicing any characters in Toy Story 3...

Oh, he said a "bad" Disney movie. I'm sure Igor will forgive that!

[GregoryFul]

Can you imagine what these idiot loonies would do if God fearing, gun toting, fearless, honest, determined George Washington were running today. For that matter, candidacy of any of the founders would give these cruds severe conniptions.
