Just how ignorant are the people who don’t support Governor Palin? This ignorant:
#Palin fans r actually proud when she comes up w/new words like triumphalism? Instead of a tour bus she should buy a dictionary.
#Palin tells White House to avoid “triumphalism” http://on.fb.me/qzDAWn I think she should avoid criticiosity #soonshecanmakeherowndictionary
Is [triumphalism] even a real word?….thanks for the link, you pompous no-nothing troll. And trust me, I can kick your ass and suit up while doing it….[expletive] off.
Is [triumphalism] even a [expletive] word?
triumphalism since when is this a word. OMG Palin strikes again. Listen up America this woman is dangerous. Just say No #palin
Palin has coined a new word: “triumphalism”. What a [expletive] moron. And this was a VP candidate? She talks like a Kindergartner! Idiot. …..@SarahPalinUSA Will we have a thesaurus that day or will we be making up more of our own words, Mrs. Triumphalism? Idiot….Ok, so she accidentally got one right. [Expletive] you for being a [expletive] about correcting me.
Here is the Merriam-Webster definition of triumphalism : an attitude or feeling of victory or superiority: as a : the attitude that one religious creed is superior to all others b : smug or boastful pride in the success or dominance of one's nation or ideology over others — tri·um·phal·ist \-fə-list\ noun or adjective
I’m not a Palin supporter but I do love that woman and all she does.
Reading these cretins’ comments I’m feeling a certain ... triumphalism.
Dem=Dumb
“I’m not a Palin supporter but I do love that woman and all she does.”
I am with you. She is a wonderful, GREAT, woman.
But if she gets the nomination, its 4 more years of the O.
I would happily vote for her if she gets the nomination.
In fact, it would be the happiest vote I’ve taken in my life.
^^^This^^^
I’m no Palin zealot (we will survive if she doesn’t run) but I do so love how she tweaks the media.
She would drive that little Ho Chi Min into the dirt like a nail shot out of a cannon. I can’t wait for her to announce....she will take the country by storm.
Yup.
So you don't believe the tea party movement is for real?
I am a big Palin fan, but I do believe she misused the word.
I see the c4p folks continue their "Winning Friends and Influencing People" approach to the campaign.
I have an overpowering, elementary sense of superiority towards them and their delinquent tiny-minded ideology.
If only there was a word for what I'm feeling right now.
How? Explain? The haters were saying there was no such word not that she misused it
“Dem=Dumb”
Let’s create our own word for them: Demb - a person who is a Democrat AND an idiot. But I repeat myself...
When they could have Googled it and found 460,000 or so entries for it, most of them before today, that’s basically begging for a “point and laugh”.
Right, the haters were wrong, I’m just not so sure she used it completely correctly. Close enough though, and the haters still have egg on their faces.
My lawn sign is ready and it says PALIN.
The actual line was “First, the White House needs to avoid triumphalism. Gaddafi may be gone, but the fighting may not be complete.”
The principal definition of triumphalism is “an attitude or feeling of victory or superiority”. Given the context, it looks like she used the word correctly and appropriately, i.e., “don’t get cocky and declare victory, because this likely isn’t over yet”.
