“And whenever men and women straighten their backs up, they are going somewhere, because a man can't ride your back unless it is bent.”

Martin Luther King, Junior 3 April 1968, "I’ve Been to the Mountaintop Speech", Memphis, Tenn.

‘The man can only ride you when your back is bent. So strengthen it! Then the man can’t ride you! America won’t get taken for a ride, because so much is at stake.”

Sarah Palin 24 January 2015, Iowa Freedom Summit, Des Moines, Iowa.

Quite funny. The BBC, John Fund, Byron York, and so many other liberal intellectuals (phhhhht...) did not recognize a quote from Martin Luther King. Disjointed, bizarre, avante garde, improvisational performance art - poor MLK!

This is getting some traction on the blogosphere now, but this was the first piece I saw that recognized the quote.

She is sooo illiterate, that Sarah from Alaska.

What would the parasitic editorial and opinion writers do without Governor Palin? They have spent six years so far writing about nothing more than the fact that Palin is irrelevant and no longer worth talking about.

If anyone else said this the elite would think it was brilliant. Take a look at the State of the Union address and not say it wasn’t a disjointed mess?

Conservatives were able to follow her speech just fine. She hammered all the ones who are yelping.

In the run up to the 2008 election, Sarah Palin’s daughter’s boyfriend’s mother got more media scrutiny than Obama.

Same intellectuals who can't see that our President is illegal and a complete liar.

Same intellectuals who prosper from mayhem and violence, not peace and the American way.

I heard this one last week (not the King connection, though). I wondered if she meant to say "straighten" it. "Strengthen" is good, too, but doesn't fit into the context. OTOH, "straighten" would work better if she added something like "and stand tall and proud".

Over-thinking it, I know.

"Sarah Palin's Bizarre Iowa Speech Gets Thanks – From Democrats"

If she is such a dingbat with no chance of getting the nomination, why would the Democrats thank the stars that she gave a poor speech?

You would think they would be doing everything they could to get her nominated.

Sarah made many great comments in her much maligned Iowa speech. My favorite: "It is war," Palin said at one point. "It is war for the future of our country, for the sovereignty and solvency of the United States of America."

The political savant nails it again.

That's what they fear. They know in their hearts (those that have one) that she's right.

ok... this is to sarah, and sarah alone..

i do not like to be teased, i do not like to be played..

i have become a small l libertarian, not because of political leanings, but because of the pubs dancing around and not being able to make up their damn minds..

i grew tired of being a voice in the wilderness, and realized that radical strict constitutionalism was the only way, regardless of my individual beliefs...

i wanna feel revelent again...

i wanna know that my beliefs do not have to be compromised..

i wanna know that there is a real alternative..

you, my lady, are that alternative..

but, you continue to play along the shady edges, the sidelines if you will, because of your treatment in alaska...

i personally, hold the legislature and the very people of alaska responsible for your indecision..

let me know which way i have to go..

otherwise, another conservative goes to the libertarians..

please, just announce something...

“Sarah Palin stirs up another media feeding frenzy”

Who cares?

Go find your nearest Goebbel’s neo-Nazi propagandist and drag that purse-carrying wimp into a dark parking lot and read him the patriot riot act.

Whatever opinion that people have about Sarah Palin, the reality is that if she were President instead of Lord Obama we wouldn’t be dealing with a $20,000,000,000,000 National Debt by the end of her second Term, ISIS taking over the Middle East, an out of control Welfare State, an out of control Illegal Immigration problem and we would be well on our way to a stable, growing Economy instead of an Economic time bomb.

The fact that she would Govern within the Constitutionally mandated boundaries of the Office of the President would be a bonus.

Of course it doesn’t really matter at this point. The Country has been “fundamentally transformed” and it will never be the same.

Just my $.02, your mileage may vary.

Now back to the Thread Topic, why Palin makes people crazy.
