PALIN MOCKED IN 2008 FOR WARNING PUTIN MAY INVADE UKRAINE IF OBAMA ELECTED
Breitbart ^ | Feb 28, 2014 | By Tony Lee

Posted on 02/28/2014 1:52:52 PM PST by Jim Robinson

During the 2008 presidential campaign, Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin warned that if Senator Barack Obama were elected president, his "indecision" and "moral equivalence" may encourage Russia's Vladimir Putin to invade Ukraine.

Palin said then:

"After the Russian Army invaded the nation of Georgia, Senator Obama's reaction was one of indecision and moral equivalence, the kind of response that would only encourage Russia's Putin to invade Ukraine next."

For those comments, she was mocked by the high-brow Foreign Policy magazine and its editor Blake Hounshell, who now is one of the editors of Politico magazine.

In light of recent events in Ukraine and concerns that Russia is getting its troops ready to cross the border into its neighboring nation, nobody seems to be laughing at or dismissing those comments now.

Hounshell wrote then that Palin's comments were "strange" and "this is an extremely far-fetched scenario." "And given how Russia has been able to unsettle Ukraine's pro-Western government without firing a shot, I don't see why violence would be necessary to bring Kiev to heel," Hounshell dismissively wrote.

Palin made her remarks on the stump after Obama's running mate Joe Biden warned Obama supporters to "gird your loins" if Obama is elected because international leaders may test or try to take advantage of him.

Our Hero, our Hero, claims a warrior’s heart
I tell you, I tell you, the Kenyanborn comes
With a Voice wielding bullshit of the liberal arts
Believe, believe, the Kenyanborn comes

It’s an end to the evil of all Marxist’s foes
Beware, beware, the Kenyanborn comes
For the darkness at hand, and the BS yet grows
You’ll know, you’ll know, the Kenyanborn’s come

Kenyanborn, Kenyanborn
Lack of honor, we’re torn
To keep evil forever in play
And the fierce foe us rout
When they hear liberal’s shout
Kenyanborn, for your blessing is gay

I guess it's true after all. Sarah can see Russia from her house.

Thanks for pointing that out, Tina Fey.

Would it be wrong of me to feel ‘I just can’t care what they think’? Those who chose to pile on her with such vicious lies and deception, along with vile hatred, will never see the light. They are lost, for now, and until the light shines brightly and drowns out the darkness, I will continue to spread the word to those who are open to truth and goodness.

God Bless Sarah, her strength is inspiring.

There's no way Putin rode a friggin' bear on its back.

But would you believe Obama going bare back?

Ignorant response. It is our problem because our GOVERNMENT promised protection if they destroyed their nukes.
It is our problem because Putin is placing his people in Venezuela, Cuba and who knows where. It is our problem because they have an axe to grind because Ronald Reagan crushed them but good and these are people who live through the CENTURIES remembering who to hate and who to get back at. Reagan, Thatcher handed them their asses and they are looking for a payback and baby it’s coming our way. How sad for us that we have the weakest sister we could ever imagine in the White House! This is shades of Jimmy Carter only worse.

If we had a proudly and openly CHRISTIAN president who was willing to attack in the name of God’s holy word, we would prevail. So, if Obama fails to do that, then we will have proof positive that he is a Muslim usurper who cannot act in the name of God and rally the nation on that basis.
