Sarah Palin just couldn’t let the whole Trayvon Martin tragedy pass her by without giving her two cents on Fox News. Hey Sarah, have you ever heard of the term racial profiling? That’s what is the basic argument in this murder case. The teen was racially profiled. Sarah Palin said she believes (as though the majority of Americans give a sh*t) that President Obama orchestrated remarks he made about the teenager’s death. Um, tone down the rhetoric? So, I am guessing the thousands of people who marched didn’t do anything to force the governor of Florida to send the case to a grand jury because there seems to have been a cover-up. The Republicans want nothing more than to sweep this tragedy under a rug and for life to go on as business as usual.

“It’s not going to do anybody any good to ratchet up the rhetoric based on speculation,” Palin told Fox News. She shared her observations just hours after Democratic Rep. Bobby Rush was asked to leave the House floor after donning a hooded sweatshirt to protest Martin’s death.

“What concerns me – the facts still aren’t out there,” Palin said. “Obviously when we hear about a 17-year-old young man losing his life, it’s tragic. It’s horrible. I am so, so extremely sorry for the family.”

“It’s unspeakable the hurt, the sorrow, the loss this family is feeling,” she said. “People who are jumping in there without having all the facts first are making the situation even worse when you consider we are talking about a young man’s life.” Source

I do agree with Sarah Palin on one thing, that the politicization of the tragedy is unfair to the Trayon Martin’s parents and to his legacy. I will also concede the fact that President Obama could have given a more neutral response to the question instead of appearing to take sides, as he did with the Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. situation with the police in Massachusetts. Cooler heads need to prevail at this juncture. That involves race hustlers like Rev. Jesse Jackson taking a step back and let the legal process work. Now that we have the undivided attention of the special prosecutor, the Justice Department, the FBI and the court system, let them conduct their investigation into this tragedy. Threatening a march comparable to Selma isn’t going to solve this crime.

Bristol Palin Writes Open Letter to President Obama Over Sandra Fluke Phone Call for Limbaugh “Slut” Comment

IBristol Palin Writes Open Letter to President Obama Over Sandra Fluke Apology (Wikipedia)

Bristol Palin, daughter of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who was also caught up in some baby-daddy drama, has written a blog post directed at President Obama. Here’s an excerpt:

Dear President Obama,

You don’t know my telephone number, but I hope your staff is busy trying to find it. Ever since you called Sandra Fluke after Rush Limbaugh called her a slut, I figured I might be next.  You explained to reporters you called her because you were thinking of your two daughters, Malia and Sasha.  After all, you didn’t want them to think it was okay for men to treat them that way:

“One of the things I want them to do as they get older is engage in issues they care about, even ones I may not agree with them on,” you said.  “I want them to be able to speak their mind in a civil and thoughtful way. And I don’t want them attacked or called horrible names because they’re being good citizens.”

And I totally agree your kids should be able to speak their minds and engage the culture.  I look forward to seeing what good things Malia and Sasha end up doing with their lives.

But here’s why I’m a little surprised my phone hasn’t rung.  Your $1,000,000 donor Bill Maher has said reprehensible things about my family.  He’s made fun of my brother because of his Down’s Syndrome. He’s said I was “f—-d so hard a baby fell out.”  (In a classy move, he did this while his producers put up the cover of my book, which tells about the forgiveness and redemption I’ve found in God after my past – very public — mistakes.)

If Maher talked about Malia and Sasha that way, you’d return his dirty money and the Secret Service would probably have to restrain you.  After all, I’ve always felt you understood my plight more than most because your mom was a teenager.  That’s why you stood up for me when you were campaigning against Sen. McCain and my mom — you said vicious attacks on me should be off limits.

First of all, yes, there is a terrible double standard on both ends of the political spectrum, but President Obama has no control over the Super PAC and who they take money from. Bill Maher should be held to the same standard as Rush Limbaugh. Secondly, we all know Bristol Palin didn’t write this. Her mother probably did. Thirdly, she’s putting herself out there to get slammed big time. Hey, Bristol, why aren’t you trying to get a college education? I bet when Sasha and Malia Obama are your age, they won’t be baby mamas.

Sarah Palin: Obama Wants to Return Us to “Days Before the Civil War,” AKA Slavery for Blacks

March 9, 2012 By Leave a Comment
slavery blacks before civil war Sarah Palin: Obama Wants to Return Us to Days Before the Civil War, AKA Slavery for Blacks

Sarah Palin: Obama Wants to Return Us to "Days Before the Civil War," Also Known as Slavery for Blacks (Britannica)

Once again former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin shows her ignorance where history is concerned. She appeared on Sean Hannity’s show yesterday to continue his “discussion” from the previous night about another Andrew Breitbart non-story — the video of then-Harvard University student Barack Obama giving his support of former law professor Derrick Bell. Sarah Palin attacked President Obama saying he wants to return to the days “before the Civil War.” Um, during that period of time, blacks were slaves. In fact, had President Obama been living in pre-Civil War America, he would have most likely been a slave, unless he was among the small percentage of freemen. If that was the case, he who would have lived with the fear of being kidnapped and re-enslaved. It’s insulting that she could even suggest President Obama, the nation’s first black president, would be guilty of such a ridiculous assertion. I guess she doesn’t understand what the word antebellum means, particularly where black Americans are concerned.  As usual, Sarah Palin is on the wrong side of history. Her take is sort of like the Paul Revere twist:

Now, it has taken all these years for many Americans to understand that that gravity, that mistake, took place before the Civil War and why the Civil War had to really start changing America. What Barack Obama seems to want to do is go back to before those days when we were in different classes based on income, based on color of skin.

Yeah, it was called SLAVERY back then you idiot. This is the person who harbors ambitions of becoming the president of the United States one day. Talk about the dumbing-down of America. Anyone with commonsense would see the absurdity in Sarah Palin’s assertion, even though she didn’t directly mention the word slavery. No, that would undermine her argument. One more issue that shows how absurd her argument is — Derrick Bell and Barack Obama weren’t black nationalists. They weren’t fighting for a separatism. They wanted assimilation. Lost on her is the fact that in the 1990s there were virtually no black law professors at Harvard University, which was what Derrick Bell was fighting for. But the right wing, including people like Sarah Palin and Andrew Breitbart, want you to pretend slavery didn’t exist and Jim Crow was a figment of our imagination. They want equality but can’t utter the dirty word — racism. They would rather invoke Jeremiah Wright at the drop of a hat and point a finger at anyone else who dares to point a finger at the scourge that continues to dog us. Yes, Derrick Bell and President Obama fit that bill perfectly.

Sarah Palin can only appear on Fox News because they spew the same ignorant bullsh*t as she does. How this woman became governor or even a vice presidential candidate is beyond me. Instead of worrying about Obama’s vetting, how in the world did John McCain’s people not realize they were dealing with a moron.

Rep. Allen West Says He Would be Willing to Serve as Vice President, When Donkeys Fly

March 6, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Every time I think some in the Republican Party sink to a new loan, something always pops up to re-affirm my viewpoint, with the latest being the suggestion by Sarah Palin that Tea Party darling Rep. Allen West be considered for the vice presidential spot. What’s worse, he said he would be willing to serve as vice president. Um, really? When donkeys fly. So, first we have Herman Cain saying he would like to serve as the Secretary of Defense (with zero experience and zero credibility) and now this?

During an appearance on CNN with Soledad O’Brien, Rep. Allen West said:

“As far as the vice president thing, you know, who knows what the future lies because it wasn’t too long ago, you know, I was sitting in the desert of Kandahar, Afghanistan, and now I’m here talking with you. But, you know, I am always willing and ready to serve my country in whatever capacity that the American people would desire.”

Right Rep. Allen West, you would be the right person for join Mitt Romney or Rick Santorum on the presidential ticket. Joe Biden and the Democrats would have a field day and Obama would win reelection easily. So, since he fought in the desert of Kandahar, that makes him a good vice presidential pick? Heck, if that’s the case, more soldiers ought to be tossing their hat in the ring for the job. SMH and LMAO at the same time.

GOP Can No Longer Afford to Avoid Rush Limbaugh Problem in Wake of Ugly “Slut” Comment About Sandra Fluke

GOP Can No Longer Afford to Avoid Rush Limbaugh Problem in Wake of Ugly "Slut" Comment About Sandra Fluke (Photo credit: Bearman 2007)

We knew the day was coming when the GOP would have to confront its Rush Limbaugh problem head-on and they can’t keep dancing around the issue. Rush Limbaugh’s basic argument about the government paying for contraceptives wasn’t unfounded. In fact, it is a legitimate policy issue, but the way in which he denigrated Georgetown University law student Sandra Fluke to prove his point was not only despicable but misogynistic at best. The government should not be paying for birth control pills any more than it should be footing the bill for Viagra.

The media outlets that carry Rush Limbaugh’s radio show shouldn’t be let off the hook any more than the show’s advertisers. We have to stand for something and not fall for anything. Respect should be demanded of ALL women. It’s very telling when we have yet to hear from the so-called women of the GOP such as Sarah Palin. Let’s not forget when David Letterman made sex jokes about Sarah Palin’s daughter, all hell broke loose and he was forced to issue an apology. Well, Rush Limbaugh should be held to the same standard and not just dismissed as an “entertainer,” as Rick Santorum said. We can’t give some people a pass and punish others. Don Imus was kicked off the air when he called the Rutgers University women’s basketball players “nappy-headed hos.” You remember the outrage that erupted, right? Then the same treatment should be afforded to Rush Limbaugh.

Washington Post: We are not calling for censorship. Nor are we suggesting that the ostensible policy issue here — mandatory provision of contraception under health insurance paid for by religious-based institutions such as Georgetown — is a simple one. Those who questioned President Obama’s initial decisions in this area — we among them — were not waging a “war on women,” as Democrats have alleged in strident fundraising appeals.

What we are saying is that Mr. Limbaugh has abused his unique position within the conservative media to smear and vilify a citizen engaged in the exercise of her First Amendment rights, and in the process he debased a national political discourse that needs no further debasing. This is not the way a decent citizen behaves, much less a citizen who wields significant de facto power in a major political party. While Republican leaders owe no apology for Mr. Limbaugh’s comments, they do have a responsibility to repudiate them — and him.

Rush Limbaugh doubled down claiming that the left was going crazy. Well, so are some on the right, including John Boehner and Carly Fiorina. He changed the premise of the discussion to something ugly that the Republican Party cannot ignore. Calling a woman, who he knew nothing about a “slut” and a “prostitute” was vitriolic and low. In essence, Rush Limbaugh has called ALL women who share the same views as Sandra Fluke sluts and prostitutes. How would he like someone to call his mother, his sister (if he has one), his wife or a female cousin a slut?

The bottom line is that he represents the conservative mindset in this country to a large degree and the Republican Party cannot afford to be tied to this wingnut. Rush Limbaugh needs to remember that karma is a beeyotch and what goes around, comes around. His day is coming and many will rejoice at whatever curve ball life throws him. It’s funny that Newt Gingrich claims to stand for so much, but really stands for nothing. He was pretty vocal about President Obama apologizing for the recent Koran burning in Afghanistan, but mum on Rush Limbaugh calling Sandra Fluke a slut.

Sarah Palin Delivers CPAC Address Says “President Obama Transformed a Shining City on a Hill into a Sinking Ship,” He “Mucked It Up”

Sarah Palin Delivers CPAC Address Says President Obama Transformed a Shining City on a Hill into a Sinking Ship, He Mucked It Up

Sarah Palin Delivers CPAC Address Says "President Obama Transformed a Shining City on a Hill into a Sinking Ship," He "Mucked It Up" (Wikipedia)

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is the keynote speaker at CPAC Saturday and she didn’t fail to deliver some blows against President Obama. At least, in her mind she was saying something significant. Like, President Obama “transformed a shining city on a hill to a sinking ship” and he “mucked it up.” Um, exactly what did Obama’s predecessor, a Republican president, do for the eight years he was in office? Sarah Palin says never before in history has there been such a gaping disconnect between how the president sees this country, heading in the right direction and the people on the ground saying something else. Um, George W. Bush. She says WTF to President Obama’s jobs plan (Win the Future). In other words, gutter talk coming from Alaska trailer trash.

Sarah Palin says President Obama is the champion of the power brokers who will bankroll his campaign. She said “our nominee must be strong, a fighter for American ideals,” etc. She says they are looking for someone who inherently believes in the Constitution. “Competition will lead us to victory in 2012,” Palin said. She says next time this year “we will have a true conservative in the White House” and a “Commander-in-Chief worthy of our troops.” “President Obama lacks the vision to lead.” Um, as though she has that vision. This is the same person who jumped ship on the people of Alaska. Sarah Palin also said before her speech, that a brokered GOP convention wouldn’t be a bad thing, but that would mean the Republican Party is in a tailspin and would play in President Obama’s favor.

The conservatives can’t help themselves. Immediately following Sarah Palin’s speech was Shania Twain’s “She Not Just a Pretty Face,” playing in the background. Um, that’s exactly what Sarah Palin is, just a pretty face (some would beg to differ), with nothing of substance or history of accomplishment to stand on.

Sarah Palin Calls on Mitt Romney to Release Tax Returns, Show Proof of 100K Jobs Created at Bain Capital

Sarah Palin Calls on Mitt Romney to Release Tax Returns, Show Proof of 100K Jobs Created at Bain Capital (Wikipedia)

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, AKA “Mama Grizzly,” has called for Gov. Mitt Romney to release his tax returns, as well as the data that  could substantiate his claims of having created 100,000 jobs as CEO of Bain Capital, Big Government reports. Well, I never thought I would say this, but for once Sarah Palin is right. The only problem is that she’s helping the Democrats and President Obama more than the Republican Party.  It’s no surprise that she is taking this position, since her husband, Todd Palin, endorsed Newt Gingrich earlier this week. In other words, Sarah Palin ain’t backing Mitt Romney one bit and I guess the Tea Party may follow her lead. Um, one big problem Sarah Palin — you were never transparent as a governor or vice presidential candidate. She took offense to just about every question she was asked by a journalist other than someone at Fox News.

Nobody is attacking the free market system, but if Mitt Romney claims to have created all these jobs, then he should prove it. President Obama had to show his birth certificate, right? Mitt Romney is building all these castles in the air about how he would balance the budget as president and eradicate the “politics of envy” that President Obama is using to divide the haves from the have nots.

Sarah Palin said that Mitt Romney needed to come clean about his record, particularly since the Democrats would probe the tax issue and his tenure at Bain Capital if he were to become the Republican nominee.

Hillary Clinton, President Barack Obama Most Admired Woman, Man in 2011

December 28, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, President Barack Obama named Most Admired Woman and Man in 2011.

Barack Obama Hillary Clinton Again Top Most Admired List 300x177 Hillary Clinton, President Barack Obama Most Admired Woman, Man in 2011

Hillary Clinton, President Barack Obama Most Admired Woman and Man in 2011 (Gallup/USA Today Poll)

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama were once again named as the Most Admired Woman and Man once again by Americans.

Clinton has been the Most Admired Woman each of the last 10 years, and Obama has been the Most Admired Man four years in a row. Oprah Winfrey, Michelle Obama, Sarah Palin, and Condoleezza Rice round out the top five Most Admired women, while the top five Most Admired men also include George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Billy Graham, and Warren Buffett.

These results are based on a Dec. 15-18 USA Today/Gallup poll. In 1946, Gallup first asked Americans to name, without prompting, the person they most admire living in any part of the world. Since 1948, Gallup has asked Americans to name separately the Most Admired Man and Most Admired Woman, and has done so each year except in 1967 (when only Most Admired Man was asked) and 1976. Source

Hillary Clinton, though considered by some to be very polarizing, could win the presidential election in 2016, if she were to run again. Her stint as Secretary of State has been largely well received by many and her favorability numbers remain very high. How can Sarah Palin possibly rank higher than Condoleezza Rice? George W. Bush in second place? The rankings for the male list is laughable — “carnival barker” Donald Trump and “broken zipper” Newt Gingrich? Really?

MSNBC’s Martin Bashir Says Sarah Palin "Represents the Very Worst Form of American Opportunism: Vacuous, Crass"

October 7, 2011 By Leave a Comment

MSNBC’s Martin Bashir compares Sarah Palin’s exit to Apple Founder Steve Jobs, saying she “represents the worst form of American opportunism: vacuous, crass,” as well as not having created anything over the last three years.

MSNBC’s Martin Bashir lit into Sarah Palin in a way that was nothing short of amazing, saying [Sarah Palin] “represents the very worst form of American opportunism: vacuous, crass and according to every biographer, vindictive, too.” He said, over the last three years “she created nothing, produced nothing, and served no one but herself.” Dang. He just eviscerated Sarah Palin, but that’s so above her threshold to comprehend. Bashir’s comments also comes on the heels of GOP presidential hopeful Jon Huntsman slamming Sarah Palin for stringing people along with her so-called 2012 presidential aspiration. Um, I knew Sarah Palin wasn’t going to run. She’s just in it to make money.
