Thread: Palin, the cringe factor: Shut her up! McCain

It's really cute how Bambam needed his teleprompter to speak in front of a kindergarten class.


The Messiah rocks!

It's more cute how you gloss over the fact that that picture was taken while he was addressing the media, the speech to the kids was done off camera because they are, well, kids.

But I'm sure you knew that already..

And your point is
Do you need another beer? or something?

My point is that your assertion was wrong.

Beer has nothing to do with it.

Interesting that you should bring that up..

^ with this crowd it's all about spreading disinformation. factual information doesn't mean anything...actually it seems to be held in contempt.

and that, IMO, is the greatest weakness of this board.

unsubstantiated allegations, deliberate misrepresentations, photoshopped images, and flat out lies by the extreme right-wingers litter nearly every thread in US issues.

how many times have we seen the following: they post something inaccurate.....they're called on it (with credible, supportive citations)....they slink away....and then they just repeat the same thing again on another thread.

and when you add the fact that a blind eye is turned on the overt racial slurs, it really becomes quite boring.

and btw, the above is not about ideological or partisan differences...over the years i've disagreed with social and fiscal conservatives on this board on many occasions (sometimes quite heatedly), but many of those posters responded with facts or by expressing their personal opinions on an issue.

this crowd has somehow decided that they're entitled to personal 'facts'.

and again, let me be clear.....this is not about ideological differences....but everyone reading this knows that it's the extreme conservatives on this board that are the ones engaged in a deliberate misinformation campaign.

Which side of what aisle in which political body is Palin on right now?

Kinda hard to fault that, eh? Unless you're a Moonbat liberal who won't take the blinders off - the Obamamessiah does no wrong!

Sarah Palin has her sights on the White House not Tea Party movement

In oblique reference to a disastrous pre-election interview with CBS in 2008, she added: “I sure as heck better be more astute on these national issues than I was two years ago.”

As usual for a potential candidate more than two years before an election there were caveats and deferential nods towards others in her party. Yet her remarks were strikingly direct and seen as a bid to capitalise on her frontrunner status and the fundraising potential that comes with it.

The interview was broadcast hours after Mrs Palin’s speech to the first national Tea Party Convention, in which she warned the Republican establishment not to try to marginalise the activists who had come to cheer her on.

She trained most of her fire on Mr Obama, caricaturing him as “a law professor at a lectern” rather than a true Commander-in-Chief, admonishing the President for “apologising for America” and asking her audience: “How’s that hopey, changey stuff working out for ya’?”
A recent bestseller on the 2008 campaign, containing detailed descriptions of a bewildered Mrs Palin out of her depth in national politics, has helped to fuel speculation that she might forgo a run for the presidency in favour of leading the Tea Party movement, which galvanised opposition to Mr Obama’s health reform plans.

There was little sign of such muted ambition from the Palin camp at the weekend. She appeared to rule out leading the Tea Party activists and was careful not to paint them — or herself — into a radical corner.

Their movement was “much bigger than a hockey mom from Wasilla or some charismatic guy with a teleprompter”, she
said. “I’d hope that the Tea Partiers don’t believe that they need some kind of well-oiled machine.”

In her speech on Saturday Mrs Palin mounted a mainstream Republican assault on Mr Obama’s national security credentials, condemning his decision to try Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the alleged Christmas Day airline bomber, in a civilian court.
Earlier in the day Mr Obama had paid the Tea Party movement the compliment of a specific mention at the Democratic National Committee’s winter meeting in Washington. The right-wing activists who derailed health reform efforts at hundreds of town hall meetings in August should not be allowed to distract the party again, he said.

A year ago Mrs Palin was the laughing stock of the Left for a world view that appeared to be based on Alaska’s proximity to Russia. She was blamed by many in the Republican Party for Senator John McCain’s defeat in the presidential election. Since then she has resigned the governorship of Alaska and suffered the indignity of an attempted character assassination by the 19-year-old father of her first grandchild.

With each setback her following among conservatives, who thirst for what she calls “common sense solutions” to America’s problems, has only grown and with it her power to influence state and local elections by endorsing radical candidates. From Florida to Arizona, moderate Republicans are having to tack to the right to avoid being outflanked by Mrs Palin’s favourites in primary races.
With the confidence of perhaps the most powerful Republican in the country, she said: “Competitive primaries aren’t civil war. They are democracy at work, and that is beautiful.”

some charismatic guy with a teleprompter

at the very moment palin was saying this, she had written on her hand the answers for the Q & A session that would follow her speech.

this is not my opinion.
this is not a partisan view.

this is a fact.

deal with it.

You guys ever listen to Left, Right and Center? Some of the wingnuts might want to tune in and hear how Tony Blankley, an intelligent conservative whose ideas I mostly find repulsive, comports himself civilly in political discourse: Left, Right & Center - KCRW He even likes Palin, or claims to.

i used to listen to it years ago, but not for quite some time.

one thing i always wondered about...what's up with blankley's accent?

Wrong - got it off a Yahoo news report. What's up with you these days?

Besides, what's wrong with Drudge too, eh? He was the one that broke the Monica Lewinsky thing and exposed BJ Bill for what he is. A lier and a disbarred attny...heh

Heh...gotta like, linky-poo for that alligation there RA?

This is Issues and we are obligated to provide links; right Mods?

It's hilarious how the progressive dim bulbs actually consider the "handwriting" an issue.
It's got them all whirled up like whirling dervishes.

So, she writes on her hand as a reminder. Guess that's easier than dragging a teleprompter around with a speech somebody wrote for her and the answers (somebody wrote for her) to pre-screened questions by pre-selected reporters.

Heh...Palin, Obama treated as equals. “Over [the] weekend the losing candidate for Vice President was, for all intents and purposes, treated as the political equal of the President of the United States. This, if you are in the political shop at the White House, is not good.”

Mebe that's why RA and sundry clueless moonbats aboard here are populating this thread with gusto!

^ Good observations.

she's a fraud.

and let's not forget that this is in addition to her being:
a quitter--skipped out during her first term as gov.
a tax cheat---multiple times....the per diem nonsense, and now for her cabins.
hypocrite--demands rahm emanuel be fired for using the word retard once in a private meeting.....but it's ok that rush limbaugh used it scores of times on the radio.

but will the rubes still support her?

you betcha!

Not so much different than the libtards supporting bambam, you don't have to look far to se he is not squeaky clean. I don't beleive it is Palin they are supporting as much as the fact they have seen the true colors of bambam and crew and realized they don't need a monster government taking there hard earned money and looking over them.

Well, you asked for it -


Palin's tea party speech full of false and misleading national security claims


CLAIM: Abdulmutallab "lawyered up and invoked our U.S. constitutional right to remain silent"
REALITY: Administration source reportedly says Abdulmutallab currently "cooperating," officials say he provided intelligence after being Mirandized.

CLAIM: Abdulmutallab not interrogated about training and future plots
REALITY: Interrogators reportedly sought and received such information from Abdulmutallab.

CLAIM: Obama administration uses "words like 'overseas contingency operation' instead of the word 'war' "
REALITY: Obama has repeatedly used the word "war." President Obama used the word "war" at least seven times during his January 27 State of the Union speech.

CLAIM: "Our president spent a year reaching out to hostile regimes, writing personal letters to dangerous dictators"
REALITY: Bush, Clinton also wrote personal appeals to North Korean leader.

Why is this a big deal, sounds like politics as usual both sides using distortions to belittle the other. Don't make it sound as though bambam and crew above this.

personally myself,i don't care for either party.but the one thing about her i won't forget is the fact she is a quitter.and she did it for speaking engagement money,says volumes to me....
