It’s a classic movie plot. Think “Woman of the Year,” with Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn. At first the man and the woman hate each other, then they fall into each other’s arms? Well, feature the fight that has erupted between the president of the AFL-CIO, Richard Trumka, and Governor Palin of Alaska.
The leader of Big Labor went to Anchorage to give a speech and attacked Mrs. Palin, accusing her of doing everything from writing notes on her hands to coming out with conspiracy theories about President Obama and his “death panels” to getting close to calling for violence. “Sometimes — about Sarah Palin — you’ve just got to laugh,” Mr. Trumka said. “ . . . But it’s not really funny.”
Mrs. Palin turned around and gave as good as she got, or better, in one of her patented Facebook postings, a demarche headlined “Union Brothers and Sisters, Join Our Commonsense Cause!” She wrote as a one-time card-carrying sister of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and United Steelworkers, cards she held by virtue of her husband’s membership in the two unions.
She asserted that it was “kind of ironic that a union boss has the gall to accuse anyone of threatening violence,” particularly in light of what she called the “violent attempts” by the Service Employees “to intimidate those who wanted to make their voices heard in last year’s town halls.”
She argued the real jobs problem was being caused by the policies of President Obama. Suddenly the Internet came alive like the silver screen, so much so that a columnist of the Washington Post, E.J. Dionne, issued a long complaint.
Seems that Mr. Trumka can’t get anyone to listen to, let alone write about, his usual speeches about what Mr. Dionne characterizes as “social CONTINUE

WOW! Now THIS is something! Wonderful poster and message. Excellent!
Nope. Bachmann rules, but your intent is to disrupt the thread. It always is.
Seek help.
Rush was there a while back. I couldn’t get tickets, but I tried to drive by.
It was a madhouse! I’m guessing it’s that way today.
That really is a great editorial. The link to Gov. Palin’s post embedded within the article is great as well. I don’t recall the last time I saw a national level politico flatly say: “you lie” to an opponent.
Now if she would start building her foreign policy creds. Maybe a trip to pay her respects with Lady Thatcher would be in order?
Agreed!
Well, Chunga, go see the last Hunter thread that I posted. No cultists disrupting that, no sir
Now even Bachmann is a threat to Precious?
I am smiling. That’s wonderful to hear!’
I’ve read and heard that Lady Thatcher wants to meet her and vice versa of course and that she has a trip planned in the fall and also a trip to Israel!
She is just beautiful......brains, guts and beauty.....the perfect American woman...
Nothing been in print here recently about a visit but as Onyx suggests Fall makes sense - after the mid terms and before the next book launch on Nov 23rd.
That’s my facebook picture. I love it, too!
I hear you, pissant.
I love Palin, but I am really worried about the way many people here deify her.
It’s very Obama-like.
It’s off topic. You posted it to disrupt.You’re possessed. You said you were bowing out. Real life too dull and boring. You really do need a long break from here. Take Jim’s advice. Now please leave this thread to Sarah’s supporters. Thanks.
Yeah, I wouldn’t do it before the midterms if I were her. But once that’s in the bag, it’s time to get ready for ‘12.
Oh yes :-)
Please don’t worry. This is a wonderful editorial.
Let her supporters relish the moment. She spanked the union thug yesterday and wrote a wonderful letter to union members. The lame stream is all over for the same letter!
That’s unbelieveably cool.
I am off to go join Jewish Americans for Sarah Palin.
