Sarah Palin: Quite appalling to be called a terrorist by Vice President

Posted by The Right Scoop on Aug 1, 2011

Sarah Palin said that though Tea Party members are used to being labeled as racists and inciters of violence, she found it especially appalling that the second in command of the most powerful office in the world would say that Tea Party members are acting like terrorists.

Regarding the debt limit deal, she went on to say that while it is a victory to change the debate toward talking about the debt, there is much more work to be done. She does acknowledge that the debt limit deal is a step in the right direction but she doesn’t like giving what she believes may be the most liberal President in US history another 2 trillion dollars that we don’t have with no major reforms:

[Here's the interview of Palin on Greta a short time ago.]

Palin on Debt bill

[MestaMachine]

You are entitled to your opinion. We see things differently. That’s life. Now stop being a masochist and get some sleep. There is work to be done.

[CharlesWayneCT]

my battles with ansell2 show that I like to argue with ansell2 when he misrepresents what I say.

If I actually did what you said, you’d be able to provide an actual quote from some recent thread where I said something bad about Sarah Palin.

The last time I remember disagreeing with her vocally was when she came out against the use of the word retarded. I thought that was an unncessary supression of figures of speech, and while I understood her position having a Downs syndrome child, I felt it was ceding too much to the liberals who tell us what words we can use.

That was quite a while ago.

And don’t confuse Palin with her supporters. I reject the notion that you have to agree with every supporter’s opinion of what Sarah said in order to be a good Palin supporter. I believe it is better to argue against incorrect opinions about her.

[CharlesWayneCT]

Kind of can’t sleep. Kinda riled up about the bill. Took comfort in Sarah Palin’s words, until people here spent so much time disabusing me of that notion.

[MestaMachine]

Wanna feel better? See Post 137. Like I said we have enough stamina to go the distance and deliver a knockout. There is no one left that COUNTS that has not seen the beast as it is. Some choose the beast, but the majority, the REAL majority, chooses to end this madness. And we will.
I LIKE seeing these politicians that took their cushions for granted squirm and melt under the bright lights. The whole world saw them do it. This is not politics as usual anymore.

From an Administration that wont call Muslims who Murder Americans Terrorists but will call Americans who want to Prevent a Marxist from Intentionally Bankrupting your country by spending it into Oblivion they are terrorists. Classic Projection

[CharlesWayneCT]

In the light of day, I don’t feel any better about the deal, and I am a little more circumspect on what Sarah actually meant.

I like seeing politicians squirm, but I also don’t want to see us throw out the baby with the bathwater. I don’t expect any politician to do exactly what I want, and I’m not one to hold every little thing against them as a disqualifying act.

There are some who annoy us regularly, but occasionally on the important issues seem to be our best allies. It’s good at times like these that we still have them, and not a liberal democrat replacement.

[Finny]

From an Administration that won't call Muslims who Murder Americans "terrorists" but will call Americans who want to Prevent a Marxist from Intentionally Bankrupting your country by spending it into Oblivion "terrorists." Classic Projection

And a classically good post! Well said.

1000 ways to die

Yesterday episode trashing Sarah Palin and Tea Party.

Last segment of episode: ;mayoral candidate gets the point. (20:00)VIDEO Advance the slider to 17 minutes into the episode.

I like to watch the cable series “A 1000 ways to die” on Spike TV. I have seen how the leftist liberals influence the production of stories.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
1000 Ways to Die

1000 Ways to Die is a docufiction television series that premiered on May 14, 2008 on Spike. The program recreates unusual supposed deaths and debunked urban legends[1] and includes interviews with experts who describe the science behind each death. Up until the end of season one, the final story of each episode showed actual footage of dangerous situations that almost ended in death, along with interviews with people involved in the situations. A portion of these deaths have been nominated for or have received a Darwin Award.

Has anyone tried to track down who that tea party woman was?

[ansel12]

my battles with ansell2 show that I like to argue with ansell2 when he misrepresents what I say.

I don't misrepresent what you say, I always say a variation of posts 34, and 88, and a softer version of 119.

You pride yourself on being slick and staying between the lines of trolling yet surviving, post 42 doesn't support your pride in your trolling talents, and your prideful boast of "I was probably the BEST Romney defender here" is not something most of us would be proud of, but someone seems to have noticed that you are working very hard, in the same troll manner, on the Palin threads as well, and doesn't like it.

” There was no victory of any kind for the tea party or for America in this “deal.” It’s a total farce and business as usual for the ruling class. McConnell is an idiot. Wants to share power with the dems. And Boehner is an idiot for pushing this as a spending cut. There is NO spending cut in this deal. Not one damned cent. The borrowing kicks in immediately and any promised cuts are pushed years into the future where they’ll never materialize”

We need to oust Boner & McConnell, or nothing is going to change. I predicted this “voodoo economics” disaster weeks ago. I knew these country clubbers would cave because they ALWAYS do!

Clean house or lose the country. It’s that simple!

Here is another one of those Palin/victory threads.

That's what I've always loved about you, your softer side.

But thank you for a good example of my point. Although I will say that I sometimes think you really do believe what you write. Usually I think of you as much smarter.

[ansel12]

Good examples of my point are posts 34, 88, 119, and 42.

I really do believe what JR wrote in those posts regarding your trolling and being a romneybot.

[SuziQ]

One of the things I like about Sarah is that she seems to understand taking what you can get, and then coming back to fight for more tomorrow.

Exactly!

[greyfoxx39]

As I said, you’re a deranged idiot.

Yep!

I am not convinced that it is a "step in the right direction". They may be talking about the debt and spending cuts, but those "cuts" are largely an illusion. The media has been calling this a Tea Party victory, while Tea Party activists do not consider it much of a victory. If I was to put my cynic hat on, I would guess that the idea is to pin the coming economic fallout in the wake of this deal on the Tea Party pressure to "cut spending", even though very little spending is really being cut. They could then turn around and say, "see we did it your way and cut spending and look where it got us". This would be followed by every economist that they could get to go along with them saying: "We told you that massive spending cuts in a weak economy would spell trouble. We need to invest more in the economy to put Americans back to work".

I am not sure that falling into this trap is helping the cause.

If the economy goes into double dip, the dems and Bambi can say what they want, but very few but the most rabid obamunist will believe them.

A continuing bad economy after 3 years of them in office will be a disaster for them.

"Palin strongly opposed any debt limit increase, taking to her Facebook page to issue a veiled threat of “contested primaries” to freshmen members of Congress. But in the wake of the debt deal’s House passage Monday night, she acknowledged a partial victory for the tea party in turning the national conversation to spending and debt."


She also referred to the deal as a "step in the right direction according to Jim's post. I am sorry but there is a big inconsistency here. Either it is a major error in judgement to vote for the bill, a vote that is worthy of being threatened with "contested primaries", or it is a "step in the right direction", although imperfect. You do not threaten people with contested primaries if they voted for a bill that was imperfect, but a step in the right direction. I wish someone who is more consistent was the who the media turned to for quotes on this.

[rob777]

"If the economy goes into double dip, the dems and Bambi can say what they want, but very few but the most rabid obamunist will believe them."


I agree, but that will not stop them from trying and we need to be careful in not helping them by parroting the line that this deal was a "step in the right direction". It clearly was not. A step in the right direction would have been to at least see an actual cut in overall spending rather than a cut from the baseline of what spending was intended. Never mind beginning to pay down the debt, this deal actually continues to add to it. In what universe is that a "step in the right direction"?????
