David Corn to Todd Palin: "Please don't hit me"
Texas for Sarah Palin ^ | Monday, May 11, 2009 | Josh Painter

Posted on 05/11/2009 7:52:56 PM PDT by Josh Painter

Lefty drive-by David Corn was expecting the worst when John Coale informed him at a pre-WHCD soiree Saturday that Todd Palin wanted to meet him.

The Washington Post reported that Corn said:

"I was worried he was going to punch me in the face."
According to Mother Jones, of which Corn is Washington bureau chief:
"Please don't hit me," Corn joked as he shook hands with the champion snowmobiler and all around bad-ass-looking guy.
But there was no need for Corn's guilt trip. Alaska's First Gentleman demonstrated that he is indeed a gentleman, one who out-classes the liberati scribe who had dissed Todd's wife, the governor, in print:
Palin laughed, and, steering clear of politics, they went on to have a pleasant discussion about having 8-year-old daughters and about commercial fishing.
No word yet on whether a relieved Corn had to excuse himself for a wardrobe adjustment.

Proof that lefties are TERRIFIED of a Real Man. Probably why they hate the military.

Of course a Real Man doesn’t use violence unless absolutely necessary but libtards don’t know that.

We should try to have more fun with that.

Go out there are scare a lib metrosexual today.

I don’t condone unnecessary violence but I would understand the urge to punch this a$$ in the mouth.

Badmouth my wife, could get you hurt, REAL bad

Another example that the Palins are still not quite in sync.

Should have clocked him.

Headline doesn’t make it clear that the “threat of imminent violence” was entirely in David Corn’s head. If somebody didn’t read the article and see that, the reasonable assumption would be that David Corn was begging for mercy after being threatened by Todd Palin.

Todd should've beaten him to a pulp, broken bones, knocked out teeth, then as he walked away, Todd should've sprinkled him with these. (***WARNING*** bad language)

I’m still waiting to see what happens when and if Todd runs into Andrew Sullivan. That’s a pay-per-view deal just waiting to be made.

Liberals are always afraid of the people in flyover country. They imagine us to be a hoard of unwashed, uneducated barbarians who enjoy hunting, fishing and gathering our food. They have far less understanding of us than we do of them.

He could have just as easily turned Piper loose on him. Of course Todd is restricted per the wife’s political situation. This guy is a cad.

Righties are only opposed to appeasement on an international level. It's a virtue when offered to America's internal enemies.

Sarah Palin is an ordinary American who happens to have become a politician. Any attack on her or her family is an attack on each of us.

The time for action is NOW. Sarah is on the move.Support he by joining her PAC. The left is scared to death of her and for good reason. She can defeat Obama by invigorating our demoralized country and bring much needed light into the darkness now being created to subjugate America.

Do it NOW!

SARAHPAC

I think Todd would probably want to say away from physical contact that could result in extensive blood loss with a guy in Andrew’s condition. It’s probably not the smartest move.

But there was no need for Corn's guilt trip...

Did he actually think he did something wrong? I thought that super-smart way cool leftists were more secure in their principles than that.

They are a wonderfully normal family. Look at this picture of Piper at her lemonaid stand -- the one some mean ole supporter of Tony Knowles turned Obama supporter is trying to have shut down because it draws in too many tourists on the street the governors mansion sits on in Juneau:

I doubt it was a joke as it said it. It became a joke after he knew he wasn’t going to get thrashed. I would’ve loved to have been standing there to see it happen I’m sure he was ready to whiz on himself.

It was a set-up that didn’t stick - Todd saw straight through him. So to try and get some mileage out of it anyway, he published it from his side to create the insinuation that such concerns are, even remotely, legitimate.

The Left is desperate against Sarah. She’s the real deal, and their hands are tied.

So they spit.

My youngest son went to school in MO with Todd Palin many moons ago. He said he was a great guy even then. They played basketball together. Now my son lives in AK. He still lauds the Palins but voted for Obama. Go figure.

Corn is just a frustrated little Jewish guy with a quick wit and some sort of penis envy....wishes he were black maybe.

But really even though a serious leftist, he is self deprecating and not often shrill.

I could deal with him.

Possibly the same GI at Ft. Ord wrote, “Please don’t throw your cigarette butts in the latrine, because they become soggy and are hard to light”.
