Former vice presidential candidate and reality television star Sarah Palin has remained quiet over the recent repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell. But she may have just made a statement... by re-Tweeting a conservative lesbian's columnist's Tweet about 'homos.'
Around 10 p.m. Eastern time on Monday night, conservative pundit Tammy Bruce Tweeted about the recent repeal of the military's discriminatory Don't Ask Don't Tell policy:
But this hypocrisy is just truly too much. Enuf alreadythe more someone complains about the homos the more we should look under their bed

The idea being, one imagines, that those who are most vocally anti-gay are the people who are most likely to be gay themselves, or at least to have, like, gay stuff "under their bed." Not the most original observation in the world, nobut look who apparently agrees with it!

A truly asinine look at how liberals think.
As long as FR has you, it need not ask what the loony left will attack with next, you’re always leading the pack.
Thanks pissy.
Did somebody mention the next President of the United States, Sarah Palin?
Your thoughts are not facts, pissy, just dreams (and nightmares). Your Falcoon Party is more probably the racist, misogynistic homo-loving group of wannabe Dimocraps pretending to be something else... yep, that's gotta be it!
Elect Sarah Palin for President 2012
Re-Elect President Sarah Palin 2016 sarah palin's alaska
So, pissie, who’s your candidate for the upcoming cycle? Hunter’s not running, is he? So, who’s your man?
“And I want to know Sarah Palins view on the whole matter. Havent read it anywhere.”
Same here. I’m waiting to see. I don’t consider Tammy Bruce “conservative,” either.
Mental health issues 3x greater for homosexuality

This does not say that Palin agrees with it. Sarah Palin could be warning that the gay lobby is going to attack with slur and innuendo.
She could be saying, "Hey, folks, these gays are going to be going after you. This lesbian just said so."
Which would be more like her? Siding with the gays or warning that they are going to attack?
What makes you think she defended gays?
You’re focused on one reason she might have reposted without comment this lady’s threat to look under other people’s beds.
What would other reasons be?
You don’t want to go there. trust me. we just don’t want to go there. I know how people in their 20s and 30s think.
I am 24 years old. I can tell you that there are people in my generation finishing their education and starting their careers. Many of these people are on the fence. And contrary to popular opinion.. many of these people will listen to Governor Palin’s message if she is the nominee and the economy is still a mess.
we are making significant gains on the issue of abortion. 51% of the country is now pro life and opinions are becoming more pro-life in the younger generations. lets keep our eyes on the prize. lets not blow our gains on the social issues where we are making progress.
What if Abraham Lincoln had focused on prohibition instead of slavery. it would have been a disaster.
“Did you want to know her take on destroying our military or not?”
______________
Your ignorance is astounding.
On Fox News Sunday:
Chris Wallace: “Should the rule ‘don’t ask, don’t tell” for the military be repealed?”
Sarah Palin: I don’t think so right now. I’m surprised that the President spent time on that in his State of the Union speech when he only spent about nine percent of his time in the State of the Union on national security issues. And I say that because there are other things to be worried about right now with the military.”

In your dreams...sounds good in here, but not in the “real world”
I am happy to have West as my Rep...I am still pinching myself.:-)
best response...!..Thanks!
Korea’s a completely different kind of environment for women to function in, compared to the Middle East; imagine a female officer trying to order a bunch of hot-headed young Moslem men about when those guys wouldn’t even put up with their own mothers asking them to wipe their feet.
fr_freak, one has to ask the obvious (if obtuse) question, who was knocking up the serving females? If it’s their male colleagues then it suggests that self-discipline is not the focal point of basic training that it should be.
Every other professional in every other walk of life knows there’s a strict boundary between how you treat people you’re familiar with in your private life, with how you treat colleagues and clients at work. But in every other walk of life, lapses in self-discipline don’t normally threaten the lives of your colleagues.
That is why basic training should “hardwire” a unit to work like a unit regardless of race, color, gender or whatever, and treat all people in the unit as equals (except where rank is an issue). And it should “hardwire” to treat an enemy as an enemy whatever their race, color, gender or whatever.
Sure the women you’re talking about are obviously damaging the cohesiveness of the unit but if they’re sleeping with serving men, then those men are just as responsible for damaging the unit.
If someone re-tweets a message, does everyone consider that an agreement with said message? You cannot re-tweet something if you want everybody to see what was said, whether you agree or don't? And, what the heck does Tammy Bruce mean, is she talking about the anti-DADT crowd or the gays who are screaming constantly about it.
I never take twitter posts as signs of anything, because they are a rediculous way to communicate anything of substance.
But twitter posts have been used at FR to express all sorts of Palin’s views, and this is the first time I’ve seen widespread opposition to believing that a Palin re-tweet expresses her opinion on the subject.
Until I hear otherwise, I will assume that Sarah Palin repeating the Tammy Bruce comment, without adding her own commentary, indicates agreement with what Tammy Bruce said.
And until I hear otherwise, I will presume that Sarah Palin is smart enough to know what Tammy Bruce was saying, and understood what she was repeating. To think otherwise is to suggest Sarah Palin isn’t smart enough to know what she is saying, and that would be an insult to Sarah Palin (not that some of her supporters aren’t regularly insulting Sarah in that way, in their attempts to “defend” her when she says things they disagree with).
Which means, in this context, that until Sarah Palin issues a statement explaining this differently, I will assume she agrees with Tammy Bruce that people who complain about homosexuals should be checked to see if they aren’t closet homosexuals.
I have no reason to relate this to Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, so I won’t, until Sarah says something about it. All we know for sure is that Sarah repeated the statement that people talking about homos should be checked to see if they are homosexuals.
“It wont be constrained to Gawker by tomorrow morning.”
Right - other media outlets are asking the same questions this morning, and many pro-gay media sites are taking this as a show of support. So either expect Palin to clarify her reasons for the re-tweet shortly, or you have her answer on how she feels about the matter.

Much like the tea party sprang up, except the falcon party didn’t do nearly as well :-)
Democrat Sam Nunn favored maintaining the absolute ban on gays in the military. Republican Barry Goldwater wanted to repeal the ban, and worked with Barney Frank.
But opposition to a legislative repeal of the ban led to the DADT compromise.
Although there was no real law passed which embraced that compromise. Instead, the ban on gays was passed into law in 1993. That law specified that homosexual acts were incompatible with military service.
However, as part of the “compromise”, Clinton was allowed to “not ask” the question. And since the ban was on gay acts, a gay person could serve now, so long as either they didn’t perform any gay acts, or if they kept it secret.
The republicans did not control the house or senate in 1993, of course, so they could not be held responsible.
But they could have tried to overturn the DADT by legislation after they took over, and they did not.
