Enough Palin attacks already

Friday, June 26, 2009

Comment

Dear editor, I would like to ask why everyone is always dogging Sarah Palin? I mean, she isn’t our president or vice president. So why do you always have to print mean things about her or what she does that is wrong? I am a Republican and I just ask why. So what if she was not a good speaker? President Bush wasn’t. I just don’t see why you have to always talk bad or down about her.

" The Dems attacks on Governor Palin can have only one explanation: they are terrified of her and feel the need to villify her at every opportunity.

During the last election they saw the way she was able to connect to Conservative and energize huge crowds of motivated voters. There is no other Republican on the horizon who can do this as well as her.

B.O.'s past campaign tactics are to not just defeat his opponents but to eliminate them. With the state run media on his side, he can't help himself... "

" She’s a threat to the libs and silly liberalism….she actually balanced a budget, reformed her Party and remains overwhelmingly popular in her state by both Democrat and Republican….

She has successfully fought off every phony charge triumphed up by Obama’s Brown shirts….and she keeps coming back.

Tell me one lib in this country with anywhere near such bipartisan support? "

" The hypocritical liberals are afraid of Sarah because she's a successful woman that appeals to conservatives & libertarians.

You see, "choice" means you can only choose to abort.

Her resume included actual accomplishments (unlike BO).

She's fiscally responsible, which is an absolute no-no to progressives.

She takes a stand on issues & sticks by her principles.

She's an American first, & enjoys American heritages such as hunting.

Sarah doesn't tow the climate change line (or whatever they call it this week).

She also believes in smaller, less intrusive government rather than the socialist direction in which we are headed today.

Bottom line is, she's very close to the total package when it comes to conservative values & the statists are afraid that she will get the traction to be elected president.

The viciousness of the attacks on her is beyond contempt. "

" The 'attacks' on Sarah Palin since the failure of the McCain/Palin ticket have been comedians making jokes.

The life of Republican politicians is a fertile field for jokes because of the hypocrisy, intentional or not.

In the specific case of the Palin family is that they preach 'family values' and use their family as an example of an 'All American Family' yet they fall far short of living up to what they espouse. That pretty much makes them the natural butt of jokes.

Jokes write themselves when some woman who has a kid from having sex outside of marriage becomes a spokesperson for 'abstinence' after first saying it doesn't work.

It seems Republicans don't like to have people laughing at 'Promise Keepers' who jet off to Argentina to have an affair outside of their marriage vows.

However, comedians LOVE having Republicans write their jokes for them.

If Republicans quit the pretense of being the party of telling other people how to live, they would be the butt of far less comedy.

But as long as Republicans write the jokes for comedians it's not going to stop.

" Makaila: Palin was not prepared for the lime light. She was smart enough to have said "no" but not smart enough to say "yes." The republicans were desperate and they saw Palin as their last desperate hope. The choice of Palin was a boondoggle from the start. Because she cannot perform or speak intelligently on the big stage of politics she has become defensive (not a position to remain in, as she has, in politics) and she has become the laughing stock of the republican party. Now, even most republicans are distancing themselves from her. "

I'll stop there. Republicans who continually critisize every Democrat already think I'm unfairly "dogging" Palin. "

By the mere fact that you quote those inaccurate facts shows just how afraid of her you and the left are.

Not only that, but the feminists fear her as well as she is the hight of a liberated woman. She has worked hard for where she is and earned every ounce of her place as Governor.

I too will vote for her in 2012. Maybe she will run for Senator???

There is probably nothing higher on the wish list of non-conservatives in this country than to see Sarah Palin get the Republican nomination in 2012.

Imagine if a non-conservative had run for Vice President who had a pregnant teenage daughter and then told the press it was a private family matter while taking her around as a campaign prop?

Hilarious. "

" I'm taking bets right now that Sarah Palin will not be on the 2012 Republican ticket in either slot.

Four years is not enough time to get her image rehabilitated, even if David Letterman never told another joke about her. (But of course, he would... better, deadlier jokes, just not about her daughters.)

But at the outset, I saying I'd be most happy to be wrong, because 'Barry' would find Palin to be very easy to beat. And the candidate that Democrats would have a tough time beating is busy in Afghanistan.

I'm thinking the top of the Republican ticket will be Gen. Petraeus with a little known VP choice acceptable to the 'Christian Right'.

The Christian Right will realize (after the 2010 whupping) that 'stealth' candidates like Sarah Palin will not be able to 'come out' until after they get into high office, and 'dog whistle' calls to constituencies will be ferreted out and publicized.

Many Americans (even people of faith) are tired of hypocrites in Washington getting all prayerful every two years and shafting everybody (including people of faith) for corporate lobbyist cash the rest of the time.

Of course, the torture-enthusiasts in the Republican party would have to get over Petraeus rejection of torture as useful and beneficial to American interests.

So now you know the really scary Republican candidate, especially if Petraeus comes up with something that can be called a 'win' in Afghanistan.

Since I don't want Republicans in their current incarnation to win for the rest of my lifetime (and I love good jokes at hypocrite's expense) please Lord let the Republicans run Sarah Palin again!!!

I wanna lose my bet!

" When one researches what the motivation for the strife between Linda Biegel a blogger (who is asking for public records on Sarah Palin), and Eddie Burke, a radio host, one finds that when he gave out the phone number of women who united against Sarah Palin last Fall, 2008,
he incited anger against the individuals
(calling those who opposed her "...socialist baby-killing maggots...").

We have the right to free speech but isn't this a matter of inciting anger against individuals, as opposed to comic relief?

One can't have it both ways, if she and her supporters are not going to "play nice" how can she expect those who oppose her to "play nice"? "

Hmmm.... seems to me that their family could not be more American if they tried. They have faced many of the same issues that their fellow american families face. It seems a shame that we can be so forgiving of our other Americans, but not forgiving towards the Palins.
It seems the hight of hypocrisy. "

shareathought wrote on Jun 27, 2009 11:36 AM:

Remember Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter, the bible verse "let he who is without sin, cast the first stone" or even the idiom "People Who Live In Glass Houses Should Not Throw Stones" ?
All of the sayings are well-known for a reason; most of us are guilty.
Some of us work harder not to be hypocrites, some don't care. Some fight harder to distract us making excuses for their behavior or to keep us from focusing on the things more important then them.

By-the-way, did you-all know that it is the fault of the Gays (or LGBT community), because they wanted equal relationship rights, that has endangered South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford's marriage? "

Incidently, I don't think Hillary Clinton was subject to any less "kindness" from conservatives over the years.

Makaila suggest you listen to the mean-spirited diatribes and rants against President Obama from partisan hacks like
Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, Ann Coulter and others. It's not pretty and it's not helpful. Palin receives but a trickle of that kind of derision and hate. "

Is that why you follow the authoratative and statist agenda of Obama? Open your eyes please, please, please. Obama is distroying this country far more expediently than Bush did.

In part what AlfonZo Rachel had to say was:

“...the reason why your nailing Palin to a cross is because of the sins of her daughter... and the reason why you have such disdain for her daughter is because her daughter represents what you can’t stand about yourselves... and you want those parts of you punished and shes your scapegoat...”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4Auat84pl4

My thoughts on Sara Palin’s daughter were empathetic in nature; I would not have wished her predicament on anyone. For a young, single, woman to find herself pregnant, living under her mother’s imperatives, being scrutinized by the moral outcry of the nation and months later being judged a “failure” for not practicing abstinence is not a enviable position.

Like I said before. I'm not jealous of Mrs. Palin. I am contemptuous of her. She has no characteristics that I wish to emulate.

They weren't hunting turkeys behind her. They were slaughtering them for Thanksgiving sales. They were breaking their necks through some kind of funnel. This is not about hunting. This is about answering questions during an interview with the slaughter taking place behind her. Blood was everywhere. Nothing for children to be watching either. Again, this is not about hunting.
Mrs. Palin used campaign funds to shop with. $50,000 dollars in clothing, hair styles, etc. I didn't say the First Lady shopped at thrift shops. I said Mrs. Palin dressed in very expensive couture clothing to campaign that was paid for by donations from citizens like yourself.
Mrs. Palin is the Queen of Malapropisms. That is my opinion Al Gray's grandson and I'm entitiled to it. Now she is also a quitter. Her leaving her position as governor of Alaska is another bizarre event in her life and not a positive line for her resume.

I don't understand your sentence about hypocrits. Liberals are sincere about their beliefs. They say what they mean. Please explain what you mean. What is hypocritical about liberal beliefs? You don't have to agree with them. It's your choice. "
