Hi Mom.
That’s what Sarah Palin wrote on her hand today, technically, before speaking at a campaign rally for Rick Perry in Texas.
“Hi Mom” can also be loosely translated as “F-U, Lefties”.
Here’s what Sarah Palin did today, and why it’s not only brilliant, but it’s the chief reason this woman will be our 45th President.
She hit the Left back, in a subtle way that drives them crazy. THAT, friends, is quite an art form. We respect everyone alive who practices this sort of Fu.
Palin knew the Left, particularly the Huffington Post, has been trying to create an issue of several words Palin wrote on her hand before the Tea Party Convention speech yesterday: Energy, Taxes, American Spirit.
We do this too, FYI, whenever we have to do any public speaking, since we don’t usually take notecards with us or have a podium in front of us. We just write down a few key words, on our palm, so that we cover the three or four things we really wanted to talk about…lest we miss one of them. Unlike the current president, we don’t have a TelePrompTer traveling with us everywhere we go. Neither does Palin.
We hope Palin makes the “Hi Mom” thing a regular inside-joke.
The Huffalumps tried to make an issue of her palm-notes…and obsessed over staring at pictures of them yesterday…so Palin sent them a message today, letting them know she’s aware they are scrutinizing her palms…so she might as well send her Mom a message.
Those of you who met Mrs. Heath on Palin’s book tour have told us she’s a VERY nice woman (Mr. Heath too)…so we say “Hi Sarah’s Mom” today too.
Palin is quick with responses to the lunatics on the Left, which is remarkable. She gets in front of a story before it becomes an issue. She hits back hard when needed, but can use more subtle smacks when those are more appropriate.
We think she effectively disarmed this issue, in a humorous, fun way that’s relatable to average Americans.
Her ninja throwing star Facebook dispatches are well-crafted and deadly to her opponents.
Today, she proved her more subtle hits can be just as effective.
This woman has all the skills she needs to become President in two years.
All that’s missing is her ground team…of which we, and hopefully YOU, will surely be a part.
Go, Sarah, Go!
Reagan use to counter criticism with humor...and it worked every time.
Hi Sarah’s Mom!
Even a Democratic Strategist who was just on Fox News(I could not believe that she actually worked for the John Kerry campaign since she actually seems like a nice woman) said that Sarah countered back on the supposed hand-gate scandal perfectly by writing HI MOM on her hand yesterday. Shows that she has a sense of humor and doesn’t give a flying hoot about what the left thinks of her

It really was brilliant on Sarah’s part, and very Reaganesque. I am glad she is having fun, God Bless her.

I think this isn’t the best thing for any political candidate to do. I think it’s rather childish.
Were I her, my next message would be “This Space For Rent”.
Murtha? Prayers for his family.
I disagree. you don’t let the opposition frame the debate. Nor make a scandal out of nothing. You laugh at them.
Unlike that stuffed-shirt candidate Romney who doesn't go anywhere without a suit and tie?
I thought it was even earlier. At this moment when Piper wets back the hair of her little brother Trig, I turned to my wife and said you are looking at the first woman to be President of the United States. Little did I know the media would launch a jihad. And they are back at it again.

Palin has shown that she understands the best defense against lunatics, Dems and libs, is to laugh at them. Snarling, sarcastic remarks will not work. Lib Dems won’t get it, but Indys will take notice.

Dear Democrats,
I can see you don't like conservatives much so pardon me for crashing your party. I'm actually a moderate independent but my experience with the left is that anything to the right of code-pink makes me a "repugnant-con" or whatever. Anyway, I know that Sarah Palin gets your blood up but please, look at yourselves. You are spending precious moments of your life hating on someone who will NEVER hold higher office. I know she has some influence etc. but really, you are making her more relevant by your constant , unceasing hatred. And why? Just because she has different political opinions than you? I can't hate everyone who has a different opinion than me because that would mean I hate something like 57 million people, and that's just in the United States. I don't agree with most of Sarah Palin's opinions, but I don't waste my day, like you folks do, obsessing over it. To those of us on the outside, it really looks like some sort of Palin-hating disease. Give yourselves a break! There are birds chirping and and children laughing. Pay attention to that. Meditate or something. But this hatred is really unbecoming of a group of people who I know are sincerely interested in making the world a better place. Believe it or not, hatred is destructive to your cause. Try love, understanding and compassion, even for those who disagree with you. You will feel better. I guarantee it. Or, read a book by Thich Nhat Hahn.
You choose your battles. This is not one of them.
This is exactly the sort of tweaking the MSM which conservatives need to do.
Love the pics and the comments are great,she certainly knows how to piss em off.....
