Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) lambasted Hollywood liberals in a rambling speech at the Iowa Freedom Summit on Saturday.
The partys 2008 vice presidential nominee, who said this week shes interested in a presidential bid, took the stage with to Taylor Swifts Shake It Off, feeding off the energy of the crowd as she jumped from conservative topic to topic.
Her speech was replete with memories of her own trips to Iowa, but she also focused on one recent controversy defending criticism over the countrys top-grossing movie, American Sniper.
Palin detailed how she and her family were friends with Chris Kyle, the Navy SEAL whose story is told in the biopic about the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
Screw the left in Hollywood who cant understand what it is we see in someone like chris kyle and all of our vets, Palin said, referencing comments from filmmaker Michael Moore and others who criticized the movies portrayal of war.
Palin said the Oscar-nominated movie from director Clint Eastwood was breaking records because America needs a hero again like Kyle, whos credited with the most confirmed kills in U.S. history.
The Tea Party favorite also took shots at the Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton, saying the country was ready for different leaders. She slammed the left for pretending to offer change but instead readying for a coronation rinse, repeat, Clinton, rinse, repeat.
Palin also slammed President Obamas government overreach, saying his executive actions when Congress didnt act were akin to being like an overgrown little boy whos acting kind of spoiled.
She urged conservatives, when considering their GOP candidates, to remember their bold, conservative colors, not pale establishment pastels.
That’s my candidate. I was a king(queen)maker, it would be Palin-West..
That’s OK. She’s worth way more than a double-take. :)
bump
Hillary Looks like she could use a stiff one
Re: For once she and I agree.
If I am reading that... correctly--
Then why... are you even on a Conservative website like Free Republic where Sarah is revered and agreed with nearly unanimously?
Okay, trolls, fire away! I'll be with ya... just as soon as I have a little drink--
Where is this second party of which Reagan speaks?
They would be a great ticket
“Age cannot wither her,
Nor custom stale her infinite variety.”
YES, WE CAN!
BUMP!
What superior political/defense/public policy expertise does any actor or actress have....such that the mass media sucks up to every burp or fart they emit about national affairs?
98% of the actors are no better qualified to comment on such things as we are.
If they want to have a say, let them type said remarks in a little 2 by 4 inch box on the Internet, like the rest of us.
There’s no reason on earth why their thoughts (a very generous word, to be sure) should receive any more attention than anybody else’s.
(And, quite frankly, a number of them sound dumber than dirt...)
If you can’t agree with her on more than this, maybe you’re in the wrong place
I can’t wait! Its going to be the pantsuits vs the skirts..... GAME....... Skirts!
Oh hell, the media have been on her non-stop since 2008 and have failed miserably in their attempt to damage her. Sarah Palin is still the strongest conservative in the country. She runs, she wins.
Well said!
I agree wholeheartedly! You must like results over rhetoric.
