Sarah Palin, quit bashing Obama (UK Obot says "Leave Obama alone!)
The London Guardian ^ | May 8, 2011 | Rachel Roberts

Posted on 05/08/2011 1:12:15 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

As someone who aspires to run a country one day, Sarah Palin (@sarahpalinusa), the problems you have running your own Twitter account concern me.

Between made up words ("Peaceful Muslims, pls refudiate") and inflammatory rhetoric ("Commonsense Conservatives & lovers of America: "Don't Retweet, Instead RELOAD!"), your stint on Twitter has not been a resounding success.

Can you be helped? You betcha! Being good at Twitter could be as easy as seeing Russia from your house.

How do you solve a problem like Bin Laden?

Last week, you tweeted: "Show photo [of Bin Laden's corpse] as warning to others seeking America's destruction. No pussy-footing around, no politicking, no drama; it's part of the mission." You're getting "what to do when you shoot the world's most wanted international terrorist" confused with "what to do when you shoot Alaska's most wanted moose". Easy mistake, but this is one circumstance when a framed photo of a corpse on the mantelpiece is not appropriate. Calls for Bin Laden's head to be stuffed and mounted on the wall of the Oval Office will probably be refused on similar grounds.

Pick your fights

You really have a bee in your bonnet about Barack Obama (@BarackObama), Sarah. Where I see a groovy cat with big ears and an even bigger IQ, you see some kind of tax hikin', liberty hatin', rootin', tootin' antiChrist. Your incessant anti-Obama outbursts, such as "Pls refer to Jan.1 tax changes appropriately: they're OBAMA TAX HIKES & they'll slam every American's savings, investments & job opportunity" are dull.....

I guess Rachel needed some hits on her column.

Consider the source. The (Communist) Guardian.

Apologists for Barak Hussein, Saddam Hussein, Khaddafi, Khomeni, Lenin, Marx, Hoxha, Pol Pot, Kim Jung Il, et. al.

Sarah should wear this like a badge of honor.

Trust me Rachel, Sarah has a sharper perception on this.

I kind of dig the "inflammatory rhetoric."

“Where I see a groovy cat with big ears and an even bigger IQ”

Where is the slightest evidence for this “big IQ”? I’d love to see how 0 would do on any standard IQ test...or say the SATs.

I strongly suspect he’d score somewhere in the bottom 60% - hardly anything to write home about.

Why aren’t his school transcripts public again? We knew the Bush and Kerry GPAs as I recall...

Sarah speaks the truth and always manages to rattle the right cages. The rats and their sympathizers need to toughen up a bit; they are extremely thin-skinned.

So, I heard Al Qaeda has found a replacement leader in the wake of bin Laden’s death last week. They chose some guy by the name of Obama bin Lyin!

I dunno. Why do the lefties all say that he is so smart. In my opinion, he would rank amongst the dumbest president.
Certainly the least intelligent president of my lifetime. They bemoaned W.’s intellectual curiosity, where is Obama’s? He is so right, in his own mind, he has no time for ANY other idea. I would like to see one scrap of evidence that the man is smart. All of the evidence points to him having a very mediocre intelligence (and THAT is being charitable).

I want to test Obama’s IQ. I hear so much about it. Why isn’t he a Nuklear Physicist. (Yes I have spell check) The leftists love to ridicule her, and you already know the left fears her the most. She is America’s Iron Lady. Now if she would only announce that she is running so Tina Fay can keep her job at SNL and come up with some more lines the Press can attribute to Palin.

They can’t shut her up and it’s delightful to see their madness on a daily basis in how they mention Palin.

She never said that, an actress did. Great research there...

It might have been a better article if the writer actual wrote what Gov Palin said. It is like the people who can not tell the difference between Tena Fey and Gov Palin.

No it's the fact that Palin recently passed 500k followers on her twitter account that is getting them worried. As it is now a tweet by Gov Palin reaches more people than the guardian has readership. another 500k and Gov Palin’s tweets start to reach more people than primetime CNN does. Add into the mix almost 3 million facebook friends that get each and every facebook post by Gov Palin and you start to see why the Left wing media will be attacking her social media cred.

One of editor’s functions is to spike columns that would be embarrassing to the writer as well as the paper.

This editor appears to be inadequate for the job.
