Sarah Palin is being smeared in headlines from the Huffington Post to the Washington Examiner for her 35-minute speech at Saturdays 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 wont 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."

No, he is not my inspiration. I just said that even he was right every now and then, I sure didn't give him anything close to a blanket endorsement.
I must admit there is a certain satisfaction in seeing liberals hoist upon their own petards.
But pull any quote out of the same dark orifice you got that one from, but that doesn't mean that because I agreed with one (which Sarah Palin paraphrased in a speech) that I'd agree with YOUR selection any more than she would.

Sarah is a Rorschach Test. She works equally well on lefties and RINOs.
Probably 15 years ago a local radio host said the political debates of our time are not right versus left but inside versus outside, and so it has been ever since, even inside the 'Pub party. 'Establishment' is not just a matter of circumstance but of world view.
I wish there was a little less 'establishment' in the mindset of some fellow posters. It appears in the form of clucking disapproval at the latest appearance of Palin.

I believe it's called "penis envy" which totally confuses the effeminate press because she's a woman. So while they twiddle and diddle to no avail, they at the same time can't figure out why she has bigger balls than themselves. Poor effeminate soulless bastards. BooHoo!😢

MLK the Marxist? I hope she ISN'T using him as a role model like Sharpton and Jackson did,The messages were mostly valid, even if the messenger left much to be desired.

No print copy backup on the podium? “ If she read it off a paper in front of the audience it wouldn't be the same. A speaker must ENGAGE them.
A lip-synch backup would be handy in cases like that, the way singers do.

Im sorry to have to say to you that the vast majority of white Americans are racist, either consciously or unconsciously.

Is that you Tokyo Rove? Or let’s see, Limpd#ck Boner? Or perhaps, Anne the Man Coulter who is sleeping with the enemy? Hmmm! There are too many too count.
I have never seen so many envious Repubics (As Levin would say,)so jealous of this refreshing, wholesome, beautiful and Reaganess WOMAN. GFY! You stinkin troll!

Oh. You misunderstood. I’m all for Sarah running. She could wipe the floor with Cankles or Fauxcahontas in a debate and not be called a mean old chauvanist like any guy who beat them is the same venue would. I think that’s what has so many liberals in a tizzy, that they know that.

Perfect doctoring of a Scanners poster for political use. I love it.

WAAAAH! Leave the voters alone! Stop thinking about running for president, Sarah. You’re giving us migraines. We know people love you. Why don’t you just become irrelevant like we say. Why don’t you just die. You’re making us wet our pants we’re so afraid.
LOL! LOL! LOL!

MLK Jr. was a Reverend. And in the mid 60’s, there WAS inequality in health care, like it or not.
From the perspective of a man of God (yes, I know about his flaws), I can’t fault his statement. You think Jesus would have had a different opinion?

RE:”

Why dont you just die. Youre making us wet our pants were so afraid.’ Telling people to die is poor taste. I wouldn't even say that to Jeb.
I have seen this “she's running” movie before, it first came out in 2011. If I had a dolla for every sucker who bought that hoax.....Obama’d be callin me wealthy...
