Palin Strikes Back at Griffin: ‘She’s a has-been’(w/Video)
Three Fingers of Politics ^ | 03/06/11 | Stupac

Posted on 03/06/2011 9:37:49 AM PST by Superstu321

Kathy Griffin has never been one to shy away from controversy, especially controversy that involves Sarah Palin, even going as far as making weight jokes about Palin’s daughter, Bristol. It was also recently announced that Griffin would be playing a “a middle-aged ‘recent Tea Party candidate and home-schooler — a Sarah Palin type” on the hit show “Glee.”

One can imagine that all this might be wearing on Palin and in an interview with Fox News’ Jeanine Pirro, Palin let lose saying:

“You know Kathy Griffin can do anything to me or say about me, because you know, she’s kind of this – she’s a fifty year old adult – boy really is what she is. She’s kind of a has-been comedian and she can do those things to me. I would just ask for respect of my children. As she had stated on CNN that her new year’s resolution was to destroy my 16 year old daughter – that takes it a little too far. Kathy pick on me, come up to Alaska and pick on me, but leave my kids alone.”

Sarah’s words were slightly misquoted in the article. She said Kathy was a 50 year old adult Bully (not “boy really”) and a has-been. LoL

Kathy was the one who said she was going to take down Willow (16). Seriously, Kathy better not mess w/ those Palin gals. They’ll kick her fugly butt to the curb!

LOL!

So you think you have me all figured out? It just so happens I still work in the industry and am in no danger of going to prison for my lifelong career of hard work. On the contrary.

I never saved a dollar I didn't earn and I have earned quite a few of them in my long career. Your convoluted Bolshevik manifesto is quite comical, and quite revealing of your twisted belief system. Which coincidentally does not make you look very good among other hard working Conservatives like myself.

I will remain a hard working, honest Capitalist and will retire quite comfortably because of that strong discipline. I certainly won't fall apart tomorrow because you don't approve of who you think I am or as a result of your childish personal attacks.

” Not a good move by Palin.”

The only one who benefits from this will be Kathy Griffin.
She lives to bait Palin .
She must be euphoric today because she now has more material for her act.
“ Did you hear, Sarah Palin called me a boy ( or bully )...” and then it will be
off to the races with more comments
which will eventually cause Palin to react
and the cycle continues.
The Bush daughters were skewered by Leno and especially Letterman for their margarita escapades.
Laura Bush did not personally engage in public spats
with Leno and Letterman because she knew that there was no upside.
And no point in redirecting attention back to the original story,
which would only give it more publicity.
The comics tired of making fun of the Bush daughters because the Bush family did not keep pouring gasoline on the fire.
Their silence deprived the story of oxygen.

Kathy Griffen thinks she is funny. I think she is “w”itchy with a “b”. I never stop to watch her when I am TV surfing. Same thing goes for that Mahre (whatever the spelling) character as well. He too is “w”ithcy with a “b”.

“Presidential” candidates or sitting Presidents who still have personal honor, do not fall prey to those petty personal attacks. They rise above it, and don’t give it the attention it seeks.

Only a mature and logical leader would understand this quality. One like Reagan. Who would never step into the Pig Pen with the Pigs and roll in the mud along with them.

Palin has been way too mature for way too long. It has permitted any and every body time to mature their opinions on her and to mouth off to the press. She gets ‘benevolent’ advice all the livelong day from such luminaries as Chris Christie. Well, now she’s telling them she’s had enough. She ought to discipline all and sundry. Maturity be damned, I’ll applaud her for it.

Did you know that former Alaska Governor Wally Hinkle cried when he resigned as governor to take his corrupt, anti-drilling agenda to Washington?

“Kathy Griffin = Skag = skank + hag”

We have a winner. No further comments necessary.

She’s standing up for her family, and would fight for them. Griffin IS baiting her, and Griffin may well get her butt whupped. - Obama’s kids are off limits. Why’s that?

Your responses on this thread are illogical.

You set some kind of lofty standard for “honor” which is absurd.

Willow Palin is a minor. Off-limits. Period.

Palin was right to say what she said, and how she said it. She said you can take me on, but not my child.

Remember when Amy Carter and Chelsea Clinton were off-limits? That went out the window with Bush’s daughters.

And no, it did not endear me to President Bush when he did not go after the press for covering his daughters and making fun of them. A father protects his children. Hell, even Harry Truman came to his daughter’s defense.

A mature leader points out who is fair game and who is off limits. One who sets limits. Not act like a punching bag like Bush did for 8 years.

Setting boundaries and defending what’s right—that’s a trait I like in a leader. You know where they stand.

Take your hate of Palin somewhere else—you are on every Palin thread with your constant drivel and attacks.

If you made so much money in oil why don’t you start an anti-Palin website and stop polluting this one.

And take your merry band of PDS sufferers with you.

Maybe you can get a life.

Why do you even repeat the lie, that she used the word "boy"? You make no legitimate point by adding it to your argument.

The comics tired of making fun of the Bush daughters because the Bush family did not keep pouring gasoline on the fire.

The Bush daughters weren't minors. The Clinton daughter was a minor and they defended her as they should.

Their silence deprived the story of oxygen.

Silence, hoping that the bad guy goes away is never appropriate. The entire eight year Bush presidency is the best example of that. It's ironic that you used the Bush presidency as an example.

Anyway, the following Palin response to the Griffin question, minus the two words that I crossed out, is appropriate.

Why would the opinion of a very bad comedian and potty mouth be worth anything?

Exactly.

There are people on this thread who think that you don't say anything and you hope that the bad guy just goes away.

Ironically these are the same people who are some of the most prolific posters on FreeRepublic complaining about Palin.

That contradiction doesn't cross their mind.

LOL!

Calling Griffin a has-been is giving her too much credit.

Griffin is probably tickled that she got under Palin’s skin

She really never even gotten that far. Sarah ignored her when she was going out with Levi Johnston.

And for those of you who say Palin should ignore this or "remain above the fray" - pound sand. Finally, a Republican who is fighting back.

You would love to believe that I “hate” Palin, but that is simply not the case. If there is truly any “hate” going on on this forum, it is coming from the likes of you and your kind. Only you are not able to see that in yourself, probably because you are too busy pointing fingers at those who do not agree with you.

You can posture moral and philosophical superiority all day long but that won't get you more support or recruit new “believers”. It mostly drives them away, and makes you look really bad in the process.

But go ahead, keep slinging mud at those who you don't agree with. If you think that is what makes you win in the arena of ideas, you are in for a big disappointment.

Not a good move by Palin. To completely ignore Griffin would be a sign of maturity.

So Palin should have taken the failed route that GWB took, just sat there and let the Left and Hollywood smear you endlessly?

Griffin is going after Palin's kids. Didn't you hear where Palin said it's cool to go after her but leave the kids alone?

Like it or not, Bristol is a public figure and profits from it. Palin needs to rise above it.

Griffin is going after Willow Palin. Willow Palin is not a public figure.
