You Want President Obama Impeached, Sarah Palin? For What? (The black backlash begins)
The Root ^ | July 9, 2014 | David Swerdlick, associate editor

If she’s demanding impeachment, it would be nice if she could at least tell us what for.

If you’re familiar with the oeuvre of the late conservative Internet provocateur Andrew Breitbart, you’ll know that he’s remembered among his admirers for the cri de coeur that he offered right before his death: “Apologize for WHAT?”

It’s become as much a part of Tea Party lore as Rick Santelli’s CNBC rant or South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson’s “You lie!” So you’ll pardon me if I find it just a bit ironic that Breitbart.com is where Palin chose to pen her immediately infamous op-ed calling for President Barack Obama’s impeachment, because in it she rails on and on about the president’s “many impeachable offenses”—but if you read it closely, you quickly notice that she never specifies a single one.

Which has me asking one simple question: Impeachment, Gov. Palin ... for what?

As the Washington Post’s Jonathan Capehart points out, there are any number of reasons to rip Palin’s op-ed. For starters, she’s lost all credibility politically. At this point, she’s a gadfly who’ll be remembered for helping Obama turn a garden-variety win into a landslide in 2008—who quit in the middle of her first term as Alaska’s governor to star in a reality-TV series; who got bumped from Fox News’ starting lineup to become a seldom-used benchwarmer; and who, after spending six years in the national spotlight, has never been associated with a single serious policy proposal.

I wouldn’t want her on my side if I were trying to make a case for impeachment—and according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, 52 percent of Americans appear to agree.

Even if Palin aspires to make only the flakiest case for impeachment, the reality is that in her op-ed, she never even tries....

If lazy David would take two minutes to do some research, she lays it out what her reasons are. And who runs a poll (they cost money to do) about wanting someone to "go away" unless they have their answer already?

Well Mr. Swerldick, let’s start with violations of the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights! Any other questions or did you wear your ass out just trying to come up with that one?

We get it. David Swer-dlick hates strong women who don’t submit to Queen Obama.

For what?

How about 731 reasons to impeach? At a minimum.

Thanks grundle

Here are 731 well sourced examples of Obama's lying, lawbreaking, corruption, cronyism, etc.

I like Sarah and her reasoning is sound ...but not for the first president who chooses to call himself black and owns the media.

It would be easier to go to Hawaii on a pogo stick than impeach the community organizer.

If I woke up last week from a sleep of about 10 years and learned that there was a President threatening to do an end run around Congress to facilitate the entry of millions of illegal aliens while showing no remorse, then it wouldn’t matter to me what party this president belonged to or what his race was, I would say...

IMPEACH HIM NOW!

If I further learned that this same President released 5 hardened murderous terrorists in exchange for a derelict and traitor, then without regard to party or race I would say...

HANG HIM!

Just the name of this outlet - The Root - is enough to induce nausea: The voice of authenticity, the voice of the mother continent, the voice of soul and struggle.

Barf. It's as authentic as a guy named “Ta-Nehisi.”

Naming all of the reasons would lead to carpal tunnel syndrome.

I Love Sarah Palin...and agree with her 98% of the time, but not on impeaching Obama!!! Leave that to his African-American and Democrat Party “Obamabots”!!! And, if they won’t call for his resignation or impeachment......let them live with the fallout of Obama’s mulitple failures!!!! African-Americans are and have been “adrift-at-sea” both economically and politically, since Obama’s election in 2008. They will continue is this state for many, may year to come!!!

Obama, the CBC, the NAACP has thrown African-Americans under the bus big time!!! Poor souls can’t see the forest for thr trees!!! Sad!!! Sad for America....but sadder for African-Americans!!!

Now you and I know that Sarah didn’t say ‘impeach’ without anticipating the question, “for what?”

Thank you, Libbies, for being so very predictable. Buckle up cause it’s about to get bumpy!

*idiotorials

awesome term*

It IS an awesome term!
Especially since the movie Idiocracy appeared at first to be merely a fun comedy. By late 2008 we knew it to be a stunningly accurate prediction of the future! There have been many idiotorials since that movie came out!
