Stupid is as stupid does (When you mock Sarah Palin, you mock all of us who love her)
The Natural Family BLOG ^ | October 1, 2008 | Jenny Hatch

Posted on 10/02/2008 10:24:08 AM PDT by Jenny Hatch

I just arrived home after driving my sons to school. Usually we listen to music as we drive, but today I insisted that we listen to talk radio. I like to flip around between the liberal and conservative radio stations as I drive to hear what the talk show hosts and my fellow americans are chatting about.

When I switched to Jay Marvins show on AM 760 here in Boulder, he was talking about Sarah Palin having the intelligence of a 16 year old. Then a woman called in and righteously claimed that his analogy was "insulting to sixteen year old girls"..ha ha ha, aren't we so smarmy smart?

I suppose the female caller and talker Jay do not understand that by insulting Sarah Palins intelligence, they are also insulting the intellect of those of us who love her and her politics. Perhaps they don't care if contempt for her translates into insult to us and our ability to weigh the issues, think, and vote for a ticket that is more in line with our values than some yuk yuk on The Daily Show or Saturday Night Live.

It is a truism in politics that as soon as a republican throws his or her hat into the ring, the talking heads all assume a loss of fifty or more IQ points.

In attempting to brush Sarah Palin with the broad strokes of the Dan Quayle school of "Duh" journalism, the Media is also sending a message to those of us who have been energized by her willingness to run on the presidential ticket, "Listen up you blockheads, boobies, cretins, dimwits, dolts, dopes, dorks, dullards, dunces, fools, imbeciles, morons, nitwits, and stupid twits: YOU American Voters don't get to decide who the next president is. We do! And we will tell you who is intelligent, smart, and ready to lead, even if all evidence points to our guy being a know nothing, immoral crack head, brainwashed in cradle to grave marxism by his earliest mentors to his days in the Ivy League."

Mark Goldblat at National Review Online had some choice words for Gwen Ifill from a fictitious Sarah Palin in his most recent column:

"Ever since Senator McCain made that selection, by the way, I’ve been working hard to get up to speed on foreign policy and global issues. The reason I wasn’t up to speed beforehand is that, curiously enough, I’d been focusing all my energy on doing the jobs I’d been elected to do. When I was elected mayor of Wasilla, I tried to be a good mayor. When I was elected governor of the Alaska, I tried to be a good governor. I didn’t regard either position as a stepping stone to anything else. I saw no need to go on fact-finding tours, at taxpayers’ expense, to foreign countries in an effort to bolster my geopolitical credentials for higher office.

By the time John McCain and I take office in January, rest assured I will be up to speed on geopolitics. I will be altogether qualified to be a heartbeat from the presidency. And I’ll surround myself with altogether qualified advisers and staff, not yes-men and yes-women. Because I know from experience — the very experience my opponent, Sen. Biden, lacks — what it is like to make an executive decision. I know what it is like, after the legislative wrangling is done, after the wheeling and dealing by party hacks who are determined to maintain political cover and plausible deniability, to have the buck stop at my desk, to enact a law by my signature, to put my name on the bottom line.

So no, Ms. Ifill, I think I’ll keep my seat. You can take down your blank map. I came here tonight to discuss, to the best of my abilities, the international and domestic issues that confront the United States and to provide the American people with an insight into my governing philosophy. I didn’t come to convince voters that I could be a Jeopardy champion. If that’s the main qualification for the vice presidency, then I’d suggest both Sen. Biden and I step aside for Ken Jennings.

I plan to vote for John McCain because I would like to see Sarah Palin as our first female president. I believe she has the strength and the courage to take on the difficult task of busting up the special interests and financial waste that defines our national government. I see her willing, based on her past executive experience, to make the diffcult choices in all areas of Executive Government.

Don't try to convince me that she is stupid and that I am dumb to want someone like her as my Commander in Chief.

Democrats think they can make Governor Palin into a laughingstock by following the Quayle/GWB playbook. But Dems could mock Quayle and W without offending any voters they needed. Privileged, classically handsome middle-aged, straight, white men aren't a big demographic for them. If, on the other hand, they offend all the voters that are likely to identify with Sarah Palin they will never win another election.

Democrats lit into Palin before her big convention speech and the backlash cost them their convention bounce. Incredibly, they are stepping into the same pile of steaming dung all over again.

They are now committed to the argument that Palin is a dunce. Whatever happens tonight, nobody will fail to notice that the Governor is much smarter, better informed and appealing than the other person on the stage. Not to put too fine a point on it, Biden is an ignoramus and a fool.

The Dems have set Sarah up to succeed and insured that when she does, it will do maximum damage to Obama’s campaign. All the ridicule and abuse will come back to bite them when people have a chance to make their own judgments.

This should be a small ray of sunshine as we watch McCain doing his best to miss an open net.

Educated people are up to speed on the issues and hold down jobs, both at the same time.

“I didn’t watch any of the pot-shots, full length, from Couric....” Neither did I. In fact, one of the good things coming out of the frantic media frenzy is that no one who is not totally drunk on Obama kool-aid watches or listens to the MSM any more. A couple nights ago, Bill O’Reilly’s *cable* show outdrew CBS’s broadcast evening news. Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

From a morning radio show. (Mike Xxxx?)

A maverick Repub reformer who took on the Repub establishment.

A VP candidate with only two years in a Governor’s mansion.

A “kid” far too inexperienced to be a heartbeat away....

Sarah Palin? Well, yes, but first Teddy Roosevelt. When McKinley won the election, but was then assassinated almost immediately, Teddy took over and became one of our great presidents. To Sarah’s critics, two words, the second being “off”.

Hi Jenny, McCain said it right this morning when he told Fox News that Sarah is still pulling 1,000’s of people whereever she goes.

Is Biden? How come we never see this on the news? Easy!! Cause it is TRUE!!!!!

They can hide the truth, but they CANNOT quell it.

Chances are, all this bashing is doing is increasing the resolve of us conservative to make our voices heard on November 4, maybe even some who rarely vote. I know some have said the media and Democrats are trying to discourage Republicans to skip the election because Obama is already sure to win; however, this can backfire if Democrats figure they don’t have to worry about their party winning and so stay home. I believe the Dems have a harder time getting their people to show up than Republicans.

“I believe the Dems have a harder time getting their people to show up than Republicans.”

Did you see that story linked on Drudge, where the Colorado Dems were calling the base “idiots”? In a confidential internal email they used derogatory language to identify the people they wished to reach out to.

http://www2.facethestate.com/articles/democracy-alliance-memo-details-dem-plan-educate-idiots-and-target-minorities

In a confidential internal memorandum obtained by Face The State (PDF), the Colorado Democracy Alliance outlines a roster of “operatives” who worked for Democratic victory in the 2006 general election. The document outlines specific tasks for various members of the state’s liberal infrastructure, including a campaign to “educate the idiots,” assigned to the state’s AFL-CIO union. Among the operation’s intended targets: “minorities, GED’s, drop-outs.”

Not only do they believe we republicans are dolts, they have no respect for their own people!!!

Here is a pdf of the memo: http://www2.facethestate.com/downloads/coda-web/strategygroup.pdf

I hope any person thinking about voting democrat in my home state of Colorado understands exactly how the leadership in the democratic party feels about them.

Sadly I don’t think it matters to many of them, so long as the checks keeps coming in. A huge percentage of the Democratic base, idiotic or not, are on the government dole, as welfare recipients, government employees and Social Security recipients. Too many of them want bread and circuses, and if it costs them respect, so be it.
