Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the left’s Sarah Palin
Spectator ^ | 1/9/2019 | Stephen Daisley

Posted on 01/12/2019 12:40:58 PM PST by TomServo

When the media falls in love, it falls hard. Its latest crush is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Democrat congressgirl from New York. With Obama gone, she’s their new idol and how they gasp every time she flutters her Bambi eyes from behind those Deirdre Barlow-grade glasses.

What an insult to Sarah to compare Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to Sarah. Sarah has brains, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has a mouth...

Sarah Palin made perfect sense.

The grade of her glasses is not my biggest concern.

I expect it is her best asset.

Sarah Palin is a real woman, she has a husband, has borne children, run a home, and been the chief executive of a state. Cortez is just a foolish girl who knows nothing about life, being a woman or the inherently tragic nature of life and motherhood. She ought to work as Palin’s maid and child care provider for a couple years to smarten up and learn to shut up.

I'd have less trouble believing that if she could just have named one news source when they asked her for one.

Maybe it's hard to come up with one of the top of one's head, but that ought to have been something she could do after enough preparation.

They are different because of their crazy hot scores. Sarah Palin was an often 9 on the hot scale and a 7.5 on the crazy scale landing her solidly in the date zone. Ocasio Cortez on the other hand is a solid 9 on the crazy scale and an 8 on the hot scale landing her deep in the danger zone.

you forgot the betrayal BY McCain after his failed run for the presidency. When he realized she was a more viable candidate then he was in four years the guy went about cooperating with the demacrat in having her destroyed politicly by pundits in the media and by endless lawsuits that only ended when she resigned from her governorship.

Mitt Romney and co. also worked overtime to bring Palin down.

Our great Republic has gone from the Greatest Generation to a less than Mediocre Generation

Yes, she is a good example of the weak empty headed ignorant fools universities are churning out. Politics aside, this is a person who appears not to have any sense at all let alone common sense. In any real existential crisis she would probably not survive long even though nature gave her a survival kit between her legs. She and her ilk really cannot grasp there are times when history sends peoples or nations real challenges to live or die. She ought spend some time in Israel and have to go to Yad Vashem for a entire day each week and have to listen to representative examples of generation after generation of Israelis tell her their life story. Maybe a little light would start penetrating the kultersmog in her cranium.

Sarah Palin had a successful political career in Alaska before she was tapped to save John McCain's butt in 2008.

It was because she was telegenic, an engaging extemporaneous speaker, and a fountain of folksy wisdom in the same vein as Samuel Clemens and Will Rogers that she became a target of destruction by the Left.

Ocasio-Cortez is popular for all the opposite reasons. To the Left, she's simply lighting in a bottle; a flash of popularity to grab onto for as long as they can benefit. To the Right, she's a symbol of how the Left props up form over substance; they won't attack her directly, but just repeat more widely the things she says for others to hear.

I am by no means a fan of Palin, let me say this, she is not a raging communist.

From the author: “Media people know a lot more Ocasio-Cortezes than Palins; in fact, most don’t know any Palins.”

Palin is an American Hero who was trashed by losers in the media. Palin is still beautiful and still a winner. And yes, the media are still losers.
