Sarah Palin's mind-bogglingly incoherent immigration reform critique
Yahoo! News / The Week ^ | June 25, 2013 | Jeb Golinkin, Frum Forum

Perhaps we should no longer be surprised when the former half-term Alaska governor jabs at GOP colleagues weighs in on public policy. And yet...

It's easy and tiresome to trash Sarah Palin as an uneducated embarrassment to the Republican Party (a party of which I am a member). But when the great anti-intellectual takes ridiculously simple-minded shots at Marco Rubio for supporting immigration reform, something needs to be said.

The Sunshine State News asked the former Alaska governor to comment on immigration reform. She took the opportunity to take a giant swing at Marco Rubio:

Just like they did with ObamaCare, some in Congress intend to "Pelosi" the amnesty bill. They'll pass it in order to find out what's in it. And just like the unpopular, unaffordable ObamaCare disaster, this pandering, rewarding-the-rule-breakers, still-no-border-security, special-interests-ridden, 24-pound disaster of a bill is not supported by informed Americans. [Sunshine State News] Let's take this particular pearl of vapid nonsense sentence by sentence. Right off the bat, Palin manages to set forth two incompatible premises in the same sentence. Her reference to "some in Congress" is clearly a shot at the Republicans looking to push the bill through, the most prominent being a young Tea Party star named Marco Rubio. Yet in taking that shot, Palin makes clear that immigration reform is not at all like ObamaCare in that ObamaCare was defined by the complete and total absence of bipartisan compromise, even during the negotiation phase. Immigration reform was heavily shaped by Republicans and is going to pass (assuming it passes) with multiple Republican votes.

Palin then claims that immigration reform is like ObamaCare because it is expensive. CBO actually disagrees with Palin on this particular point....

What a hoot. More evidence of someone's genius.

Barry Oh wanted to kill off the republican party and he and those who manage him have managed to get others to do it for him and get it done!

I don't care who you are, that's impressive.

The GOPe has the party Whigging out!

Yeah, and what needs to be said is that Palin is right and you Mr. Moderate Mouthpiece is what is wrong with the Stupid Party.

I genuinely believe the Republican Party is finished.

The boy is cute, but he certainly doesn’t understand how to analyze human speech.

I especially love his hysterical outrage - it is so...sophomoric.

BTW sophomore means one who thinks himself wise (sohpia) but is in reality an ignorant moron (morno).

Like the Wiffer down at the IRS, these boys start puberty and they automatically think that they are the smartest people who have ever lived on the planet.

CBO misjudged the cost of Obamacare..President Obama’s landmark healthcare overhaul is projected to cost $1.76 trillion over a decade, reports the Congressional Budget Office, a hefty sum more than the $940 billion estimated when the healthcare legislation was signed into law..So you can imagine how far off they will be on amnesty..

Well ok, that’s a Palin-bashing piece.

We need them every once in a while.

I suppose.

He just graduated law school in Texas. Didn’t mention if he’d passed any state bar exams.

Given the quality of that article, I’d say the ‘bar’ hit him in the forehead.
