The danger of Sarah Palin

He must have been hitting the peyote pretty hard while he was away.

[dread78645]

I don't get it.
Where's the 'dangerous' part of Sarah Palin?

[crazydad]

It was not bushes recession. These liars would make Geobbles jealous... It was a concerted effort by the democrats to create a economic collapse and blame the republicans and Bush...

[DarthVader]

mark for later

"The result, encouraged by ever-willing far-right agitators such as Fox News, Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin, has been the creation of the so-called Tea-Party movement..."

In my recollection, it was Sean Hannity and Glen Beck who jumped on the Tea Party bandwagon first...I didn't see Rush, or Sarah at any of the rallies or demonstrations. I may be wrong, but that's the way I remember it.


"...named after the quintessentially American, anti-British, anti-taxes and anti-big government Boston Tea Party revolt of 1773."

Anti-British? Is that what is burning his @$$? Wasn't that event in 1773, over 230 years ago? Wasn't it a protest against taxation by the British? Wasn't the whole idea of leaving England to get away from such oppressive taxation and religious tyranny? Well, our government is acting like Britain, and we're doing it again.


"Early next month, none other than the 45-year-old Palin - an ambitious lady whom you dismiss lightly at your peril - will reportedly earn a six-figure sum as the keynote speaker at the first conference of a new political entity called the "Tea Party Nation" (TPN), at the Opryland Hotel in Nashville. "

Probably the crux of this guy's ire...class envying Palin-hater that he sounds, he can't stand it that she can command such speaking fees. Yes, she turned down CPAC (she can't speak at everything), but I understand that Beck is taking that one anyway.


This needs to get his obama blow-up doll and go back to bed...he is obviously speaking from his rear end, and I would venture to say he has plenty to try and "straighten out" in the English govenment right now with meddling in our government....besides, we've already got one foreigner running the government...we don't need any more.

You're probably right. Elitists get so incensed when someone that didn't go to the "right" colleges can make a good living and live the life that only the elites should enjoy.

[OneLoyalAmerican]

Compared against 0bama-ism, even a left turn signal is far right.

[SmokingJoe]

“Lhe can't stand it that she can command such speaking fees”

Sarah Palin made it cleat she is NOT taking any fees in that BO interview on Fox on Tuesday.

[SmokingJoe]

Correction:
Sarah Palin made it clear she is NOT taking any fees for her appearance at the Tea Party Nation, in that BO interview on Fox on Tuesday

[Crim]

Ha....a piss puddle in the form of an article....

“Sarah Palin made it clear she is NOT taking any fees for her appearance at the Tea Party Nation, in that BO interview on Fox on Tuesday.”

Baloney, another Palinista shuck and jive if not an out right lie.

Palin said she isn't taking any money personally, meaning she is directing the “speakers fee” to one of her PAC’s or non profits.

You know, like when Al Sharpton directs “contributions” to the “Al Sharpton Harlem Redevelopment Fund” or JJ to the “Jesse Jackson Scholarship Drive”. Sending the contribution to her PAC only allows her to use the money to buy influence and favors. That the IRS allows this kind of chicanery is a crime.

That she was evasive in the answer shows she is evasive in the truth, something I've seen her capable of throughout her political career. But I'm not criticizing her, this is how the despicable game is played. The point is Palin is a politician just like all the others that are routinely castigated here and claims to the contrary are nothing but smoke and mirrors to lull you into a false sense of security.

[Bob J]

Hey SmokingJoe, if it turns out Palin is taking a speakers fee, no matter where it is directed, will you agree that in the BO interview she was at best evasive and and worst lying?

[Bringbackthedraft]

“All except Palin are keeping a relatively low political profile.” ................ Great, leave them that way till 2013

“The former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney is the current favorite to be their presidential candidate in 2012,”..................................”THEIR”??? I’m sure he means the “current favorite” of the MSM. What is it going to take, a massive multimillion march to Washington with torches and the masses shouting SARAH, SARAH, SARAH before they realize it isn’t Romney.?

[SmokingJoe]

“Baloney, another Palinista shuck and jive if not an out right lie.

Palin said she isn't taking any money personally, meaning she is directing the “speakers fee” to one of her PAC’s or non profits.”

It doesn't mean anything of the kind.
You never give up with your nonsense do you?
Have you considered getting a life for a change?

[SmokingJoe]

“if it turns out Palin is taking a speakers fee, no matter where it is directed, “

You already falsely claimed she was taking a fee, when in reality, she clearly stated she wasn't. So what's with this “if it turns out” business then?

[Balding_Eagle]

For those who want to see exactly what she said:

Leave Bob J alone, he’s busy carrying the Palin goal posts to a new location.

Meant to add, go to the 6:00 mark

[SmokingJoe]

“That she was evasive in the answer shows she is evasive in the truth, something I've seen her capable of throughout her political career”

Has it ever occurred to you that you may in fact be insane, and might need some serious medical treatment?
You are one sick puppy. Now why don't you be a good boy and go join your pal Andrew Sullivan in wallowing in filth? That's more in line with your talents.

[tet68]

Yes Mr.Stephans, there IS a difference between conservatives
and Republicans!

Mr. Stephans, you and your liberal friends are about to
find out what that difference is.

[Bob J]

“You already falsely claimed she was taking a fee, when in reality, she clearly stated she wasn’t.”

Because I know political double speak when I hear it. Palin said she “wasn’t personally benefiting” which means the fees are being directed to sub corporations, she won’t be declaring them on her income tax. If she wasn’t taking ANY fee, she would have stated so directly.

She evaded the answer with slight of tongue and BO let her get away with it. She tried to create the ILLUSION she wasn’t taking any fee and in my book, if she did which I believe is the real truth, that is a lie.

But die hard Palinistas (as opposed to your general Palin fan) will slop up any garbage she dishes out AND propagate the lie because the truth means nothing to you.
