If it's Sunday, someone must be bashing Sarah Palin on "Meet the Press."
On this holiday weekend, it was New York Times columnist Tom Friedman who said of all the interest in the former Alaska governor, "Thats a sign of the apocalypse" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
(VIDEO AT LINK)
DAVID GREGORY, HOST: And you do have Perry on top followed by Romney and Sarah Palin, which gets to our "Trend Tracker" right now, tracking the hot political stories, and you may not be surprised when you look at the tracker that it's Sarah Palin. Still the question, as she was in Iowa over the weekend and dropping hints and making speeches. Will she run? Tom Friedman, there's still a great deal of interest in Sarah Palin as this political force in the middle of this huge conversation we're trying to have.
TOM FRIEDMAN, NEW YORK TIMES: Well, to me personally - thats a sign of the apocalypse.
Funny. That's what a lot of conservatives said about all the interest in Barack Obama in 2008. Given the economy, unemployment, and the exploding debt, such people have been validated. But I digress:
FRIEDMAN: But, I mean, you know, because this woman, everything I hear from her is, has nothing to do with what we argue in our book, the long-term trends of where our country's at. There is no short-term solution. Its not just getting rid of Obama. What strikes me about this moment, David, is like, we're having an economic crisis and the politicians are having an election and there's like no overlap between the two, almost. Yeah. Its like these two circles.
You really have to wonder if Friedman pays any attention to what anyone that doesn't have a "D" next to his or her name says for folks like Palin and all the named Republican presidential candidates have been talking non-stop about the economy.
For him to suggest otherwise means that he's either not paying attention or is willing to lie on national television to promote his agenda.
But the real problem for Friedman is conservatives don't believe government can solve what ails the nation.
Quite the contrary, they think everything that's been tried to get the economy going since Obama took office has in the long run made matters worse.
And they're not alone.
If Friedman thinks the direction we're heading avoids the apocalypse, he's in a very small minority as currently almost 75 percent of Americans believe the nation is on the wrong track.
Makes you wonder which of the four horses he's riding.
I even have the outrigger to run my Johnson 3 HP motor on it. High living.
- TOM FRIEDMAN, NEW YORK TIMES: Well, to me personally - thats a sign of the apocalypse.
How can the apocalypse be possible with his cherished Obama as President?
Friedman is admitting that Obama is a disaster, of apocalyptic magnitude!
>> FRIEDMAN: Dude, it’s like... wow... man... like... apocalyptic, dude...
Cool.
Oh...we’ll that’s much more reasonable. Clearly he is a man of the people.
LOL, me too :)
Nice bungalow.
APOCALYPSE FOR THE CORRUPTOCRATICAN EMPIRE.

The Liberal Apocalypse is Here. And Its Name is PALIN.

He’s shilling his book.That’s what it means.
A Jew is tying her appearance to Revelation, written in the NEW Testament.
Tom and the whole fascist democrat party have been working to build a fascist nobility to run their ideal one party state the same way the same way the democrat party has been working toward that goal ever since the eighteen eighties. Tom has even written articles singing the praises of the one party state and technocrat rule by fiat back when the whole fascist crowd thought Barry taking office signaled the end of the Republicans and others who didn't go along with their scams. The Republicans and Independents, though, haven't had a long term goal of any sort since they managed to do what they formed the Republican party to do, end slavery in this country. As a result of having no goals and not looking at the real motives of the democrat fascists, we're well on our way to regulating the vast majority of the population into economic ruin with the ever faithful minorities providing workers for the coming enlargement of welfare plantations along and a recruiting base for the Nazi SA type of muscle that will be used to push us into the sort of anarchy that the democrat fascists will leverage into a one party system.
Maybe people will catch on when working two days a week is he norm (but you'll have wonderful government healthcare!!) and black folks are working dawn to dusk, plowing behind mules and oxen in those huge new “green spaces” we're going to be seeing in Detroit and other major cities. At last we're seeing the outline of that Great Society LBJ promised us when he started bulldozing the black sections of town in most cities around the nation. What a great way to destroy the role models for a whole segment of the population, just seize and bulldoze their property. That's way more effective than the propaganda and hedonism route they've used on the white folks who had to be brainwashed for decades in order to get average folks to live like dogs, breeding whenever they're in heat, running in selfish little packs that fight one another, and in general living for their glands.

Now I axe you, is this series of phrases a coherent sentence? Even an incoherent sentence?
