Parade features Governor Sarah Palin on it's cover for it's Best and Worst of the Year edition. Unfortunately , there isn't much about her there, other than this debunked story:
LOW-
People shouting, Terrorist! and Kill him! when Obamas name was mentioned at some John Mc-Cain-Sarah Palin rallies. While this was neither Mc-Cains nor Palins fault, it revealed the thin membrane separating civility from mob rule in politics today. Jonathan Alter, NBC News analyst and author of Between the Lines

Great response! I really question people on here sometimes. What exactly are their standards and what person is perfect? He/She mentions Jindell (first of which they spell the name wrong - Jindal) and he has his own baggage which will most undoubtedly come up in a campaign such as performing an exorcism in college among other things if he become a contender. These people have an issue with a pregnant daughter - well I hope to god nothing ever bursts their family’s perfect bubble - that in fact means a lot more to me than anything else because it makes people REAL - I find faults and imperfections in people very refreshing because it means there is more substance to them and they still understand “the little people” and most families in the US today... Not some elitist from on high!
Sorry- meant to send the above post to you! :)
her interviews with the MSM Stooges were a disaster. Those wereFixed it for you!herMcCain's bad judgment.
People shouting, "Terrorist!" and "Kill him!" ... the thin membrane separating civility from mob rule in politics today.A mass media hoax feeds the hate yet again. Some examples with actual evidence:
Just remember the Conservative Rule: No One Is Conservative Enough.
As well as the Free Republic Definition Of “Conservative”:
“Whatever it is, it sure ain’t YOU!!!”
That’s sad to me :-( but true...
You post this in every Palin thread.
I wish you well but it’s time for you to move on....
The four pieces of human garbage who wore the obscenity laced tee shirts in Philadelphia in front of Governer Palin and her children were not exactly pillars of society either.
I wish you well but its time for you to move on....”
No, I don't. I tend to AVID Palin threads.
I simply get nauseated by people who have such LOW standards and make Sarah Palin into some kind of a religion. I also tire of lame responses like yours. Like liberals they can't handle TRUTH or legitmate CRITICISM. How in the world can this country turn around with people like YOU behaving like prickly liberals? It can't.
This is at least the second thread in the last two days that you posted the exact same thing. You have yet to make a legitimate argument against her. You just call others names and then continue to try and talk people away from her. I don’t see anything constructive happening there at all.
And I am sure there are more than TWO threads on Sarah Palin in the last TWO days. I am consistent in my opinion.
“You just call others names”
Nope not me - it's Palin defenders that need to resort to that.
“and then continue to try and talk people away from her.”
Boohoo. By calling people names as you like to lie about is what makes people see Palin differently? LOL! It's probably the Palin cult, hurling names at people like me that turn them off and reevaluate her. You sound like such a baby. Crying about people turning away from your heroine. How childish. Yes, CHILDISH.
“I dont see anything constructive happening there at all.”
From you I would not expect anythng constructive.
There you go again! Can't bear legitimate criticism. Count me out of your Palin cult.
Sarah Palin served her purpose.
She is a WOMAN. WOW!!!! Yes, many are still hung up on gender for positions. They are bitter and live in the dark ages. You could be one of them. For me it's old news and not a criteria for success because of wrongs by males. Gender is irrelevant. All Sarah did was make McPain in the arse less DIStasteful to vote for.
I look at Sarah's family. I see a pregnant daughter who is yet to get married. I see a mother that started out with good intentions for her kids - getting involved in the PTA ... and let her own ambition neglect her more important role - raising her kids. Truly we have enough single pregnant girls out there with both parents chasing the dollar and selfish ambition. We don't need more of this. The “village” isn't going to raise kids - not even Sarah's kids.
Sarah's interviews showed how shallow she is. She was not ready for prime time from a knowledge standpoint. She is also not a conservative. She is a Populist. Go look it up and see the difference. I don't want a Populist. I want a conservative that lacks liberal baggage - neglected kids. One that lives conservative ideals.
I certainly couldn't have my daughter look up to Sarah Palin ... . Maybe she's good enough for your ... we simply have higher standards that are not impossible to find today. Oh and please don't give me the immature response that “no one is perfect” as an excuse to settle for LOW standards and role models. The “good news” is this, none of us are perfect BUT MANY lives their lives better than others. It's the others I look at more closely ...
Jindell looks interesting. He's sharp, slowly turning Louisiana around and is a conservative. I'll be watching Jindell very closely. In the meantime, you can pine away for Sarah Palin. I'll look at accomplished people that don't need to lean on their gender for notoriety and have success in raising their kids.
Now, buck up and stop the liberal hissy fits when others don't agree with you about worshiping Sarah Palin. I could go on and really pick Sarah apart but I don't need to do that. She served her purpose ... and atleast gave McPain a chance. McPain blew it. Now do the usual and twist my words to your hearts content! Tootles!
It’s Jindal learn how to spell the guys name before you make fun of me.
The rest of your post was the kind of rant that proves my point nicely. You hate her. Don’t mask it. Just let it go.
Media organizations are relatively cheap businesses. A professor once told me that a TV station, for example, was one of the easiest money-making businesses to operate. All you needed was a little cheap equipment and you were able to sell advertising. I interviewed a radio station owner in Colorado and it was a similar story. The facility was not extravagant. Labor costs were modest. Equipment needed to operate and the electricity bill needed paying.
A news service can distribute information quickly and cheaply—there is a starving need for a different source of information, worldwide. People who don’t fit into the drone class and have hopes and values — they need a news source.
I am particularly vexed by the endless rain of socialist dishonesty and hatred today. Last night, I was checking the TV and turned to a cartoon program that presented a “racist heaven” where the greeter was Ronald Reagan. It was sick and promoted anti-white racism in the most vile manner. Someone needs to counter this sewage with honest humor—perhaps a cartoon about some of the left’s sacred sleazeballs would be just the thing. I can think of many good subjects.
Yes, I agree. McCain’s bad judgment, or that of a trusted staffer.
Yep. Already corrected myself. :)
Wait until the MSM comes up with the Jindal exorcism story... They will find anything to bash a conservative. Palin has no baggage, and the idea that they have to be PERFECT in every personal matter is ludicrous.
Everyone seems to conveniently forget that Todd Palin has voluntarily taken the lead in doing some of the “mommy tasks” in the Palin family. That is what makes them a family. One picks up the other where needed.
“One of them” is around to care for the children. I think it bothers you that in the Palin household, it may be daddy slightly more than mama.
As for Bristol, that is truly a case of “life happens.” If she and Levi make a good life together and care for their son, than it's clearly a “no harm, no foul” situation. They seem to be trying their best to make the best of the situation - why condemn them?
“So, what you’re saying is that you’re sexist. No offense, but what you call high standards, I call a tall order of grumpy contrarian with a dollop of holier than thou snobbery on top.”
No, I’m not “sexist” but if it makes you FEEL BETTER, then you go on and believe that.
Being there for your kids is not “sexist”. Perhaps you are unfamiliar with the concept of raising your own kids, knowing their friends and knowing what they are doing. It’s also a VALUES issue. So if you FEEL that having kids before marriage, not raising your kids, being there for them and knowing what your kids are doing makes me “holier than thou” - LOL. Guess I don’t share your “values” or beliefs. By all means support what makes you FEEL BETTER.
“Everyone seems to conveniently forget that Todd Palin has voluntarily taken the lead in doing some of the mommy tasks in the Palin family. That is what makes them a family. One picks up the other where needed.”
Yes, gender switching has worked out well for him - especailly Bristol. Will he also ve preparing her for child birth too? Yes, LIBERAL FAMILY VALUES is definitely for YOU!
“One of them is around to care for the children. I think it bothers you that in the Palin household, it may be daddy slightly more than mama.”
Yes, I noticed .... LOL!!! No your screwed up roles an dlack of Christian values and beliefs concern me. You’d fit in better with a bunch of liberals - they have the same outlook as YOU!
‘As for Bristol, that is truly a case of life happens. If she and Levi make a good life together and care for their son, than it’s clearly a no harm, no foul situation. They seem to be trying their best to make the best of the situation - why condemn them? “
Oh, so screwing around is now “life happens”. The problem is we have more than enough of SINGLE KIDS having babies. Maybe you haven’t noticed that in your liberal value filled world. The stats for these kids lasting in a marriage are devestating. So we’ll have more divorces. I’m sure that will make you happy too. The economics of single moms raising their kids is nearly guaranteed to have a life of poverty. Nah don’t want to condemn that - why that might rock your little world.
YOu vote for Sarah and Plain family “values”.
We’ll stick with conservitative Christian family values because they are BETTER. Yes, our values/beliefs are SUPERIOR to the crap you defend. We don’t want YOU LIBERAL, CONFUSED FAMILY VALUES - they aren’t good enough for us. Your LIBERAL family “values” are what is destroying our country. Ponder that.
