Barbara Bush vs Sarah Palin: "Sarah is all class"

"Barbara Bush Should Shut Up," says Dan Riehl. Oh no. Not our Bar. Painful to acknowledge, but after a lifetime of embracing the former first lady's persona of outspoken authenticity, we have to admit she no longer speaks to us. See below for details. Above, GHWB and Barbara in a Larry King interview that will air Monday.

“But my problem is that she takes a shot at Palin in a way she never would at the Obamas or Clintons. I think that she’d vote for Obama over Sarah, and that’s just stupid, and dangerous.”

Bingo. It is beyond stupid. And it is dangerous.

How anyone can miss this is inexplicable.

Well after listening to the Palin haters for the last two years cut on her about her hair, her voice, her style and never utter one word against any policy position or stance she has taken the supporters are pretty tired of listening to their insane drivel. If the children would like to debate about her policies and positions or her views or the political ramifications of what she has written, spoken or done we will debate until the moon goes home. However if the haters simply want to bash Palin they will be told to shut up and go play with their legos.

Mrs. bush simply bashed Palin. It was not classy, it added nothing to the debate and it hurt the GOP when we need to have unity of purpose. If the establishment continues their STOP PALINOR THE WORLD IS GOING TO END QUEST screw them and screw the haters..... we are tired of the silverspoon club and their loyal SUBJECTS bashing for the sake of bashing.

What a great picture! I hope Sarah knows FR is Palin Country too.

when another stands up to lead let me know so far all I have seen of our leaders is their shoes under their desks. Palin for better or worse has accepted the challenge and has taken the lead in the fight against Obama and the socialists. You don't like it write to your guy/candidate and tell him to join the fight. It would be nice to have other leaders on the stage but they seem not to want to play with the big boys yet. until they do it would be nice if those on our "side" would stop taking pot shots at the only one leading from the front.

Best post of the thread, and worthy of Post Of The Day, in my opinion.

I think a lot of us find it odd that we see so many well known Republicans looking down their noses at Sarah Palin, or even taking pot shots at her, while they've said little or nothing negative about the left.

They're cowards, and are piling on because it's safe to throw mud at Sarah. At least, they think it's safe. I've got news for them.

[Windflier]

This is clarifying, and positive, for Gov. Palin. They have shown their colors over a year before the first primary.

They sure have, and don't think that Sarah's not taking notes. The RINO establishment still hasn't quite comprehended what they're dealing with.

Very disappointed too. She played right into Larry King’s hands. For that matter, I have never understood why she and 41 “like” Larry King. He’s such a vile troll and completely devoid of class and morals. It’s a mystery to me why any Republican goes on his sorry show, but almost all do. I sure wouldn’t.

[unseen1]

maybe if your “concerns” dealt with I don't know a policy, a position instead of insane drivel you would garner more respect.

Yeah I don't want a person in the WH who has the best policies and positions because of her voice. /s

Do you people understand how stupid you sound. You are ready to throw the country to the freaking RIONs/marxists because of her voice? And you all want to be treated with respect?

Then you all add insult to injury by trying to tell people that are concerned about policies and platform that we are the insane ones. unfreakingbelievable.

[onyx]

YES! I hope Sarah knows FR is Palin Country and I hope FR remains Palin Country. Sarah Palin stands for everything FR stand for.

[Windflier]

Gov. Palin isn’t going to run. I think I should get credit for that too.

The story of my life, I never get credit for stuff.:)

Heh. Don't worry, you'll get full credit for that prediction after she declares.

I read an interview with Megan McCain in People Magazine yesterday........ thud....... talk about low class, no class it would be she and she didn’t seem to like the Bush family much either, it isn’t just Palin she disses.....

[Frapster]

I witnessed the 1980 campaign.

[Arizona Carolyn]

Good point, onyx.

[NordP]

Agreed!

[NordP]

"...vile troll and completely devoid of class and morals."

Hmm...sounds like someone ELSE 41's made friends with lately (42).

[Windflier]

I saved that picture of Sarah and JimRob the first time I saw it, but this is the first time that I noticed the US flag wristband on Sarah’s right wrist.

What other politician (or potential presidential candidate, for that matter) have you seen sporting such overtly patriotic gear?

Sarah is the only one. In more than one sense of the phrase.

[kiryandil]

See Hildy you really don’t get it. It’s not the trashing of Sarah but the fact that she is our best spokesperson for conservativism. When she is attacked by RINOs and liberals it is an attack on what we stand for and those of us that are not part of the political elite. When they attack her, they attack us. To borrow from Christine, Sarah is us.

I was talking to someone about the Palin effect earlier today, and I think I may have hit on a possible explanation.

Our rulers are pretty much "Corruption Junkies" - both Democrats and Republicans. Sarah Palin apparently may pose some sort of threat to the supply line to their drug of choice, the peasants' money & the power that it brings.

In actuality, Palin hasn't really made a lot of noise about "stop the looting and start prosecuting" that I'm hearing over on websites that are exploring the massive frauds that are crippling the economy. It's interesting that she may be one of the few politicians that would be capable of starting action on locking up the looters & and their CONgressional enablers - and that she's being torn to shreds daily by the mouthpieces of those selfsame looters and CONs.

Follow the money...?

[Friendofgeorge]

Hildy who you responded to, mostly posts negative stuff about Sarah, that`s her thing to go on any thread that is even slightly related to Sarah, and say negative stuff.

I mean she does not just dislike Sarah either, she also dislikes her children. I just wondered if you knew that when you came to her defense?

Glad you support her, but trust me it DOES bother her when people like Mrs Bush go on tv and tell her to stay in Alaska.

It was very rude of Mrs Bush

Some ‘lady’. Are you a baby murdering, “personal choice” fan such as she is? Well, are you?
