BINGO.

Newt Gingrich got one thing magnificently right last week. He called Barack Obama “The Food Stamp President.” Newt’s old; a bit behind the times. It should have been “The EBT-Card President.” Still, the shoe fits, and Obama should get stuck wearing it in November 2012.
The American Left, with its typical intellectual brilliance, assumed that Newt Gingrich only called Barack Obama “President Food Stamp” because he was black. Newt would have called a white president “Captain Safety-Net” instead. I remember all the times Ronald Reagan went around thanking Jimmy Carter for all the social welfare he handed out in the late 1970’s. Gingrich was clearly and obviously RAAAAACIST!
David Gregory interviewed Gingrich and furrowed his eyebrows in deep and sober concern over Gingrich’s use of coded language. His potential post to the Stuff Leftist White People Like website follows below.
“You gave a speech in Georgia with language a lot of people could be coded racially tinged language, calling the president, the first black president, the ‘food stamp president.’”
(HT:Politico).
While I typically would classify Sarah Palin’s philosophical beliefs as American Pragmatism and Reality Television, she can slyly go Postmodern on leftist twits with the best in the business. She “Deconstructs” the implicit favoritism towards those of The Caucasian Persuasion underpinning Gregory’s worldview quite exquisitely below.
“Well, talk about racism – that was a racist-tinged question from David Gregory,” Palin declared. “He made it sound like that if you’re black you’re on food stamps and the president is referring to you being on food stamps. I think that’s racist.
(HT: The Daily Caller)
And then, God Bless her, Sarah Palin did something unique. She not only pointed out that David Gregory is your typical bigoted Limousine Liberal, a veritable Ethanol Ethnocentrist. She suggests a solution for the problem that the David Gregorys, who infest the so-called journalistic profession, present. Sarah raves on below.
Why do we let the press, the media personalities get away with such? …. The real issue is we have 40-something million Americans on food stamps. You know why? Because we don’t have a robust economy …. because government has overreached, overtaxed and overspent and got us in debt and there isn’t enough private sector money out there creating jobs. That needs to be the focus, not allowing David Gregory to falsely charge Newt Gingrich as being a racist because he’s making a statement of fact about how many people are on food stamps.”
So how then, Governor Palin, do we reach this state of nirvana? She was totally on her game. She had that angle covered as well. More of Sarah Palin at her finest below.
“Well, I think to start with, we ignore some of these reporters and their requests for us to comment and be interviewed,” she said. “We know going in to it what they are going to do to a conservative. So why participate in their game? Instead, candidates need to get their message out via new social media, via fair and balanced reporters who will just allow the facts to get out there. Don’t participate in that goofy game that has been played now for too many years with the leftist lamestream media trying to twist a candidate’s words and intent and content of their statement.”
(Daily Caller, ObCit).
This is why Palin is like kryptonite to these people. This interview alone is worth three columns of unsolicited gynecological theorizing from the detestable Andrew Sullivan. Tina Fey’s pager is going off as we speak. Governor Palin just can’t be allowed to say such heretical things. It’s as bad as Copernicus claiming the Earth went around the Sun.
Tedious, maundering leftists like David Gregory have probably watched two or three episodes of “The Wire” on HBO to learn about American urban life. They are as obsolete as The Model T. They have nothing to add to the national conversation and dogmatically report left-wing “settled science.” Sarah Palin was correct to recommend we avoid this type of Journalist the way hotel staff should avoid high-ranking officials with the IMF.
You know I love Sarah Palin, but we need to deal with the fact that her “unfavorables” are through the roof.
Fairly or unfairly a lot of people do not like her.
She’s very polarizing, it’s love her or hate her.
Even people who SHOULD like her don’t (I’m thinking of someone I work with now).
I don’t know how she overcomes this and I’m not sure we want to risk nominating her and having her not be able to overcome it in the general election.
We don’t need another Barry Goldwater. Not right now.
How do you know that?
They will have a choice. Sarah or barry. America or bust.
He’s talking about Tim Pawlenty, NOT Tiny Tim lol
Her unfavorables are “high” because the press tells you that her unfavorables are high. If you listen to her with your own ears, and think for yourself, her unfavorables are not high. A national campaign takes away peoples ability to be swayed by anecdotal reporting.
Obviously, they seem to be in another Universe. There is very little logic for their blind support, considering all the negatives that Palin has created for herself.
It remains pointless to outline her great difficulties, they refuse to listen or see them for what they are regardless. It only invites personal attacks and some of them will go out of their way to harass anyone who does not support her.
So, I just support my candidate instead and occasionally point out why I do not support Palin. I DO NOT HATE HER, I simply do not want her for the Republican nomination, based on many of the same concerns you eloquently pointed out.
BINGO.
Many have failed to realize she's not only declared war on the Obama Admin, she's also continually done so with the LSM. And they will not be a part of her campaign.
If BO was the first 'internet' president, Sarah Palin will be the first to become President without the LSM.
I for one, will enjoy witnessing history- on many levels.
Ever heard of the psychosis called “Denial”?
“NOT Tiny Tim lol”
LOL! Thanks for explaining that!
Gosh, you;re up early this morning!
Thanks for your Sarah pings.
I always enjoy hearing how our next President is remaking the political landscape.
Sarah is President No. 45.
Otherwise there will never be one.
hahahah... truly vexed!
That is AWESOME!!! And my favorite movie too. I said two years ago Obama was just like Commodus. ‘Who are THEY to lecture ME???’ Yep.
Gregory, Amonpour, Steffanopolis, Juan the crash dummy,...
There is not a single so called journolist who would present a fair interview.
When they are so far left that they have NO credibility at all, I believe it works in our favor
By now, no one has an ounce of respect for Paul Krugman, which is a case in point. Larry O’Donnell, christingles, etc. They have made themselves irrelevant.
NYTimes, LA Times, all so discredited they have lost their influence.
Lib reporters have been following the meme of the evil, racist conservative since I was a kid fifty years ago. Nothing has changed. Lib scribblers turn every conservative remark about not overspending or cutting taxes into a racist attack on poor, Black people. I read the same things when Goldwater and Reagan ran.
As the sad, insignificant minority on this very thread so amply demonstrates: she genuinely does “vex” all the right sorts, doesn’t she...? ;)
Hallelujah!!!
That's what I've been saying for years! Woo hoo!
In honor of Sarah Palin I have made REDNECK WOMAN my ringtone. Imagine if all SP supporters did that? It would be a signal all over the country. Everytime someone’s phone rang with that ringtone, SP supporters around you would know you are campaigning for Sarah.
You look like a silly person! Palin was in a live interview not on her computer
