Palin goes nuclear on Murkowski: How dare you question Joe Miller’s honor?
Hot Air ^ | October 25, 2010 | Allahpundit

Oh, it’s on. Finally.

I have never seen a candidate stoop as low as was seen last night in Alaska’s senatorial debate…

The sitting Senator also came out against Arizona’s right to protect its borders. She calls for us to “enforce the laws that are currently on the books,” but doesn’t seem to understand that that is precisely what Arizona is trying to do to protect itself because the federal government refuses to enforce our laws. Perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised by her lackadaisical attitude to border security when we consider that she has repeatedly voted against funding a border fence and voted in favor of amnesty.

But perhaps the most shocking part of all in this debate was when the incumbent Senator used Joe Miller’s distinguished military service as a means to attack him. Joe Miller graduated from West Point, fought in Desert Storm, and was awarded the Bronze Star for his service to our country. I find it astonishing that a sitting U.S. Senator from Alaska would challenge the honor of a decorated combat veteran. Is it any wonder the audience later booed her when she again challenged Joe Miller’s honor?

Click the image below and watch to the end of the clip to hear Murkowski claim that Bronze Star winner Joe Miller isn’t “fit to lead,” to the obvious displeasure of the audience. Palin’s smart to call attention to it to try to shift the momentum back towards him. Murky’s been chipping away at his lead for weeks; maybe a little righteous public outrage on behalf of vets will steal some of those points back. What really intrigues me about this, though, is whether it portends a greater role for Palin in this last week of the race, whether in the form of campaigning aggressively for Miller or being attacked aggressively by Murkowski. My assumption all along has been that both Miller and Murky are nervous about injecting her into the race because the effect is too unpredictable; that’s why, I take it, he tends to sidestep the inevitable questions asked about her in interviews by saying he’s focused on the senate race.

But now that his lead over Murkowski has disappeared, maybe he figures that there’s nothing to lose in coordinating with Palin to give her a bigger role in the race near the finish line. (I assume she checked with his camp before publishing today’s Murkowski attack.) If she’s still as popular back home as her supporters say, it can only help, no? Presumably Murky thinks so, as there haven’t been any anti-Miller ads mentioning Sarahcuda thus far.

Exit question via Ace: The supposedly scandalous incident for which Miller was disciplined at a prior job was … taking an online poll at work?

You're way beyond pissant and humblegunner

Huh?

I defy you to find anything seriously negative I have ever posted about her.

Humor doesn't count. You've got around 27,000 posts to
work with, I'll give you a dollar for each one you find.

Most of what I've posted which is thought of as "anti-Palin" is
in reality "anti-WORSHIP". I mock the worshipers, NOT Palin.

Hell, man, I've even made graphics in support of her.

Truth be told, I liked her as a Governor.
I liked her as a VP candidate.
As a celebrity.. not so much.

Somewhat interesting remarks from Sarah Palin, since she is supposedly the “pro-amnesty queen”.

Wow, she came off as such an arrogant snob. I didn't see the whole thing, but I'm sure that debate didn't help her.

Ive seen some pretty ugly campaigning, and what theyre throwing at Joe right now is nasty. Joes opponents cant run on the issues because theyre wrong on them whether its repealing and de-funding Obamacare, fighting against cap-and-tax, protecting our borders, or pushing hard for responsible resource development. They cant win in a fair fight on the issues, so they sling mud.

I am reposting this comment from Hot Air which is priceless and describes both the topic as well as your picture:

“A nightstick the size of a telephone pole and the muscle to wield it effortlessly.”

Please repost a pic of the Governor with this very appropriate caption.

“missing the forest for the trees.”

Your posting history indicates that you have an advanced degree in that discipline, especially when it comes to conservatives.

Let me see if I can get Sarah Palin's FaceBook posting with all the proper links:

I have never seen a candidate stoop as low as was seen last night in Alaska’s senatorial debate.

Alaska’s Joe Miller is facing a tough three-way race for U.S. Senate. Though Joe decisively defeated the incumbent Senator in the primary, and though she conceded the race to him, she reneged on her primary vow to not contest the will of the people. She is now running a write-in campaign bankrolled by Beltway special interests.

I’ve seen some pretty ugly campaigning, and what they’re throwing at Joe right now is nasty. Joe’s opponents can’t run on the issues because they’re wrong on them – whether it’s repealing and de-funding Obamacare, fighting against cap-and-tax, protecting our borders, or pushing hard for responsible resource development. They can’t win in a fair fight on the issues, so they sling mud.

We saw all of this play out in the Alaska senatorial debate yesterday. (Watch the video of the debate here.) Joe took a bold stance for Alaska’s future. He called out the sitting Senator’s involvement in racking up the massive debt burden on our children and grandchildren, as well as her plan to barter over the destructive job-killing cap-and-tax legislation. As Joe said, we should focus on trading “earmarks for ANWR, not cap and trade for ANWR.”

The sitting Senator also came out against Arizona’s right to protect its borders. She called for us to “enforce the laws that are currently on the books,” but didn’t seem to understand that that is precisely what Arizona is trying to do to protect itself because the federal government refuses to enforce our laws. Perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised by her lackadaisical attitude to border security when we consider that she has repeatedly voted against funding a border fence and voted in favor of amnesty.

But perhaps the most shocking part of all in this debate was when the incumbent Senator used Joe Miller’s distinguished military service as a means to attack him. Joe Miller graduated from West Point, fought in Desert Storm, and was awarded the Bronze Star for his service to our country. I find it astonishing that a sitting U.S. Senator from Alaska would challenge the honor of a decorated combat veteran. Is it any wonder the audience later booed her when she again challenged Joe Miller’s honor? Please watch the video of this exchange here.

We need to send a message that we’re not going to stand for this arrogant sense of entitlement and business-as-usual Beltway corruption. Joe needs our help to fight back against the influx of special interest money. Please join me in donating any amount you can spare to Joe’s campaign by clicking here. He can lead once he gets to D.C., but he’ll need our help to get to there.

- Sarah Palin

Actually it us very few posters that actually LIVE in Alaska that are buying out all the wholesale Popcorn from 3 Bears and Costco. Why doesn't Joe fight back"? Why should he? Seriously, why should he fall prey to such a trivial event from the past when the future beckons for true patriotic dedication? To the party, to the people of Alaska and for the country United. Go Joe, Go Sarah, for the future, for the nation.

The only problem that Joe Miller has created is defeating Kowski in the Primary and advancing to the General Election.

There Democrats can vote against the conservative.

It’s crystal clear and Kow...will be voting like a Dem since they can saver her ass.
