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.
Well, if our greatest problem is “media bias”, maybe it’s just about time to take the muthas out.
(Excuse the crudity. Just keeps popping up every time the MSM gets mentioned around me.)
Rambling speech? Have the Hill morons ever listened to Obama?
Absolutely! Screw the Hollywood left and push it out of existence.
“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.”
I would love to see her win. However, the MSM is our version of Goebbel’s propaganda machine to unsuspecting, naive, gullible voters. 24/7/365 propaganda pounding is effective propaganda, isn’t it? Just like 2008.
“Palin: ‘Screw the Hollywood left’”
What? Give up Football, soaps and reality TV? For even a few months? Come on Sarah! You ask too much! People just can’t go that far for their country. Best to vote RINO and keep the soma flowing.
LOL! I’m sure the leftists at the Hill listen to his speeches and hang on every word, they’re incapable of distinguishing between truth and fiction.
Sarah Palin’s words don’t interest them. :-)
Left turns on FR can be disastrous.
“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.”
Please God, from his keyboard to your ears.
She called him a “boy”! Racist! /s
I think most of Nashville are lefties. I know a lot of the are.
“She called him a boy!”
Yep...I love it. LOL!
I’m not impressed with Palin’s “screw” talk. She demeans herself, femininity, and women in general when she starts to sound like a guy two shades to the wind, who’s just been dumped at the bar. Just IMHO.
I understand where you’re coming from, at the same time there’s some things that need saying and I don’t consider what she said in the least demeaning.
That’s just me I guess, or maybe a lot more here.
When the Republicans have debates, they should eschew liberal moderators. Simply ignore them.
Their who purpose is to get into a “Heads I win, tails you lose” scenario for the general election.
It is stupid to allow the left to define and control the debates.
“98% of the actors are no better qualified to comment on such things as we are.”
They are far less qualified than we are. The people on freerepublic are political and policy junkies.
Her and Cruz are the only ones who can win.
Pray America is waking
“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.”
Back then she was green. Now she’s seasoned at a national level and tougher than a junkyard momma grizzly.
Wouldn’t it be great if the first female POTUS was a conservative! Not just a Republican; a conservative. Even better would be her and a prior governor on the same ticket then one follows the other getting elected because they do it right!
Whats actually demeaning to women is shrinking violets clutching their pearls that vapor lock in the face of mere words. Personally I’d like to think women are stronger than that. Most women I know ARE stronger than that, but I guess some out there really are the liberally offended type.
Or they just have a case of PDS.
I think conservatives misplaced it.
