Sarah Palin stirs up another media feeding frenzy
AmericanThinker.com ^ | 27 January 2015 | M Catharine Evans

Posted on 01/30/2015 10:19:59 AM PST by ScaniaBoy

Sarah Palin is being smeared in headlines from the Huffington Post to the Washington Examiner for her 35-minute speech at Saturday’s Iowa Freedom Summit. In 2015, Palinophobia is as palpable as it was in 2008. After six years, the media still tears into the superstar from Wasilla like rabid dogs.

The Washington Examiner's Byron York called the speech "long, rambling and at times barely coherent ... By the time Palin finished speaking, it was hard for anyone to believe she truly is 'seriously interested' in running for president."

From Huffington Post: "Sarah Palin's Bizarre Iowa Speech Gets Thanks – From Democrats"

BBC.com said her speech was "all noise, signifying nothing."

John Fund of National Review Online:

... her [Palin's] meandering and often bizarre .... Sample line: “The man can only ride you when your back is bent, so strengthen it so America won’t get taken for a ride.” She will always be an entertaining speaker at conservative events, but she clearly lacks the discipline for a full-fledged campaign.

Fund failed to realize that Palin based her remark on a quote by Martin Luther King, Jr.: "A man can't ride your back unless it's bent."

RE :”’ Palin has led the fight since coming on the scene in 2008. She and Mark Levin have inspired the likes of Ted Cruz, Mike Lee and so many others who have risen above the “Go along to get along;” wusses with no backbone, no principles and frankly “No Balls,” to fight the good fight. And they HATE them. God Bless Palin and Levin “

That reminds me;

Back in late summer 2011 Levin poured more fuel on the 'She is running' hoax. Kept it going about two more months,

*In the run up to the 2008 election, Sarah Palin’s daughter’s boyfriend’s mother got more media scrutiny than Obama.*

Exactly, that was well put.

Personally I love Sarah and always have. She got me posing with, I cant remember if it was a moose or deer or similar animal, in a photo.

Its the kind of INDEPENDENCE that the left is jealous of, actually I think it is a threat to them. As far as a speech that rambles.....is anyone listening to that puke Obama? Ramble is not an adequate word! After all the womens lib crap they are hypocrites. And it works because the women I talk to say things like, she should be taking care of her children. What? She may not make it to the WH but I am sure glad she is on our team. God bless.

RE:”sickoflibs is obviously a troll, notice that he doesn’t have anything to say, just childish troll posts.”

I know what you mean, he scares the daylight out of me too. I hope he doesn't come after me next.

Except these are largely people who have supported her in the past.

If people who supported her in the past do not support her today, they never supported her in the past. They lied.

Its laughable reading these posts from these lefty loons..all of this over a SPEECH Im just shaking my head I don’t get it. Maybe her speech wasn’t good, WHO CARES..how many speeches will be given between now and 2016 a few hundred, a thousand? If Obama can be re-elected after having a horrendous first debate with Romney than anything is possible..its just a speech, but these haters they just have no life and they nitpick to try to find anything to trash this woman and for what..what has she ever done to deserve it..nothing..and she hasn’t even announced she is running for anything yet they still trash her

And she just came up with a quote from MLK - quite good rambling if you ask me.

I liked this one, largely ignored I guess.

Our government is not to big to fail, it is too big to succeed. Sarah Palin

Why do you think "/s" was invented?

Experience shows some posters cannot follow the simple instruction, Read. Think. Post.

Even that old broken clock was right now and then. When MLK made that speech, the emphasis was still on black people getting an education or learning a trade and being a productive member of society—not the gibsmedat FSA crap going on now.

Perhaps that why Palin chose Levin first, to announce that she would not seek the nomination for 2012.

MLK is not my cup of Tea, is he your inspiration?

Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhumane.

My thought at the time too. It was a payback for keeping it going.
Plus she knew he would not ask her many obvious questions about it as others would have in his shoes, just give her praise (for not running ??)

There are FReepers on a earlier thread parroting the illiterate meme.
