Sarah Palin Taunts 'Assassin' Kathleen Parker: "I'm still standing"

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin responded on Twitter this morning to the admission by pseudo-conservative TV host Kathleen Parker that Parker "led" the media "assassination" of Palin during the 2008 presidential campaign after Palin became the Republican vice presidential nominee.

While debating Palin supporter John Ziegler on CNN last night, Parker admitted her role:

ZIEGLER: You took part in the targeting of Sarah Palin. You essentially took part in the assassination of Sarah Palin 1.0. That person is dead; she doesn't exist any more.

PARKER: No, no, no. Actually, I did not take part in it: I led it. Let's be clear. Let's get our facts straight.

Palin taunted Parker with her response posted on Twitter today:

SarahPalinUSA Parker: appreciate your admittance. Now, I'm still standing;Standing by family, faith & flag. Who do u stand by today?http://bit.ly/d5p72x

Kathleen is dreaming. She is not a household name.
She didn’t lead anything. She’s a follower...lol.

I like the phrase on her tote!... Liberals can’t stand that she doesn’t apologize for being who she is: the quintessential American woman.

Is that a bandage on her hand?

[proud American in Canada]

I hope the use of the word admittance was a deliberate gaffe designed to taunt her detractors.

Kind of like writing "Hi Mom" on her palm.

Waitaminute! I just re-scrutinized the thread.
You removed the entirety of my most excellent post because my tagline was politically incorrect?
You couldn't just remove the tagline?
I've been here a long time and I follow the rules but when I post something bright and profound yet am arbitrarily censored over,in my opinion,a tagline that is mildly controversial at best,I begin to suspect the ideology of this forum is drifting...
or perhaps just anti-Palin since the post was a clever endorsement of her.

While cable scanning last night, I came across the Spitzer/Parker show on CNN. He filibustered for three minutes straight, while Parker sat like a statue. Then two Leftist women held forth for another three or four minutes on some forgettable topic, while Parker remained mute. Perhaps that was just a cut-out of her, and she was off for Veterans Day, because I can’t believe she gets paid for contributing nothing but her phony “conservative” label to that awful show.

Don’t we have a picture of her with a real rifle? I always see that shot of the Army’s marksmanship trainer from when she was visiting an ARNG or Reserve post.

From what I have observed, I think you can rest assured that the owner of this great Forum is a solid and stalwart supporter of Governor Palin.

PARKER: No, no, no. Actually, I did not take part in it: I led it. Let's be clear. Let's get our facts straight.

Ankle-biting isn't leadership, Parker.

[dirtboy]

PARKER: No, no, no. Actually, I did not take part in it: I led it. Let's be clear. Let's get our facts straight.

Now that Parker has admitted rank bias, let's see if the Washington Post takes discipinary action against her.

Don't hold your breath.

Not just “still standing,” but standing tall at the top of the mountain of potential candidates.

The plaster was the result of a trip and fall while running at McCain’s ranch in Sedona AZ ahead of the Biden debate. She mentioned it in her book and how great the SS team was who scooped her up and picked the grit out of her palm :)

“Don’t you know I’m still standing better than I ever did?
“Looking like a true survivor,
“Feeling like a little kid...
“I’m still standing after all this time,
“Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind...

“I’m still standing...Yeah, yeah, yeah!
“I’m still standing...Yeah, yeah, yeah!”

Maybe she can get Bruno Tonioli to help out with the campaign...

Precinct walking...

...finance director...

...or maybe head of security...

...anything he wants, just as long as we can get him to keep his hands off the ladies...

Well,the post in question was worthy to be rejected with extreme prejudice by the Letters To The Editor staff of The New York Times it was so good—and that “offensive” tagline which offended “someone” on the FR team has been with me for a while.
JR is the best and his product has been the most important opinion forum on the net for a long time...

I'm just saying...

Re: post #24:

Ain’t that telling it like it is!

[EyeGuy]

Hey, I’ve scratched my head over a few of my posts that have been scrubbed here on FR.

When human beings are involved, I suppose there is going to be some variability in interpretation, mood and what is considered appropriate.

I agree wholeheartedly on your thoughts regarding Mr. Robinson and FR.

Palin’s treatment from elitist like Kathleen Parker and Peggy Noonan has been disgusting.

On what other topic would either of them find press play?

Yep. They are both media hooers.

[xp38]

There is nothing more exhilarating than to be shot at without result.

[editor-surveyor]

Perhaps part of what was wrong with your tagline is simply that “the One” is less than half black, thus blaming ‘blackness’ is off the mark.

His ‘Leftness’ is the problem.
