"...is what she says about us."

Mad Dog Palin | Election 2008 | AlterNet

I remember thinking the same thing about Ronald Reagan.

This screed may be over the top, but the top is turning out to be a lot higher than I ever thought it was, and a lot harder to go over. I guess it's inevitable that in a democracy we get the lowest quality of government that the mass of people is willing to tolerate. Figuring out how to get them to tolerate, and even applaud, progressively worse government seems to be the long-term strategy for "a permanent Republican majority".

Hello ordinary:

I loved the screed. He's over the top. But, the Republicans went waaay over the top in picking her. It's surreal.

I think she's OK, I mean, they let Hilary run 4 president.. why not have a female vice president? Beisdes, she seems down to earth an nice... I don't see what the problem is. Ok, maybe that statement was a bit over the top, but whenever a democrat says something bad, republicans never go and say anything...

[GothGirl1771]

Maybe they do, this whole political mess is syupid... whf...

That link was a class act,

Here is a sample

Not only is Sarah Palin a fraud, she's the tawdriest, most half-assed fraud imaginable, 20 floors below the lowest common denominator, a character too dumb even for daytime TV -and this country is going to eat her up, cheering her every step of the way. All because most Americans no longer have the energy to do anything but lie back and allow ourselves to be jacked off by the calculating thieves who run this grasping consumer paradise we call a nation.

:(

Now that was mild compared to all the expletives at the end. It seems that the expletives and hatred were a substitue for intelligent, reasoned, opinion.


How can anyone read that and be convinced when the writer's style includes expletives and stereotypes of whole sections of American society? :confused:

Is this representative of the liberal / leftist media? :confused:

First of all, the Republican Party is falling apart. Ths is a result of the disastrous Presidency of Bush who will go down in history as the worst Presidence in the history of the Republic.

Unregulated, free wheeling Capitalism under an unconcerned Bush with its booms and busts has gone BUST and will bring down America unless the government tries to rescue our economy.

Most Americans see this very clearly. :)

Sarah Palin is just a stooge in McQueeg's plans to try to capture the presidency.

She has disgraced herself on television in interviews... showing her lack of knowledge of foreign affairs and domestic affairs.

The only reason McCain isn't down by 15 points is that his opponent is a black man, and racism is alive and well in America.

To answer your question, it is what she says about MCCAIN. He thinks the electorate is stupid, and he is probably correct!

The guy writes for The Rolling Stone, so the piece might provide some insight into how the mostly young, and generally non-political urban lefties are interpreting this quadrennial orgy of battling TV ads and campaign extravaganzas that passes for national elections in this country.

But my reason for posting it is to call attention to how she's being packaged and positioned and deployed. And what that says about the calculation that the Rovian Republican strategists have made about what flavor of crap we will be willing to swallow this time.

I'm firmly convinced that over the long-haul, democracy is a demand-side-driven enterprise, which means that if too few of us insist on substance, we will get, and deserve, "leaders" who are no more wise, or honest, or careful than we are when we take the bait, in spite of the hook we know (or ought to know) is hidden inside.

Hello in:

Yes, it is... The truth does hurt, doesn't it?

There's no question about it, she's the single most unqualified candidate EVER to be presented for national office. I didn't mind the expletives, either. That's the way I talk. But, like good righty's, when you don't like the message, you blame the media.

PS> I'll bet you don't like Jon Stewart either. He tells the truth and uses the "f" word, too.

After wading through that heaping pile of steaming bovine excrement, I feel like my boots will never come clean. The only thing missing in this assinine profanity is the sound effect of a jackass braying.

To answer your question, it is what she says about MCCAIN

What her choice and use says about McCain is that he long ago sold his Honor-and-Duty-Bound-Maverick-Reformer's soul to the Col. Karl Rove Mercenary Panzer Division of Partisan Campaign Warfare. He will do and say whatever they tell him he must do and say, to win this election.

He thinks the electorate is stupid, and he is probably correct!

Yeah, well, the same basic playbook has worked in three of the last four national elections, so you have to admit these guys have some pretty solid evidence to support their conclusion.

They'll keep running the same scam until it doesn't work anymore. I had dared to hope the 2006 midterms would dissuade them from running it again, but I guess they decided they could tweak it and get one more term out of it. I hope to god they're wrong, but I'm not betting the ranch on it.

This screed may be over the top

Ya think? Clearly, this pathetic individual is in need of therapy.

The Rolling Stone article is much more tame compared to that article you linked to: Cinnamon needs a little drama-queen mood-leveling medication.

Hello Steve:

When somebody criticizes your side, they're called haters. But, I don't hate Sara Palin. I'd LOVE for my son to join a cub scout pack with her as the den mother. I think she's a wonderful person... But, I don't hate her. What I do, is LOVE my country.

I love it sooooo much, that I'd NEVER consider putting someone in charge who doesn't know stuff. I just wouldn't. I'm sorry you would. Do you remember the Miss America girl who answered why most people can't find America (or someplace) on a map? I do. Sara Palin sounded like her when she tried to explain WHY living in Alaska gave her foreign policy experience... She absolutely knows NOTHING... That AIN'T GOOD FOR US!!

Only in your world is this tamer than pointing out the unhinged nature of the author:

Only in your world is this tamer than pointing out the unhinged nature of the author:

Here's what Sarah Palin represents: being a fat f***ing pig who pins "Country First" buttons on his man titties and chants "U-S-A! U-S-A!" at the top of his lungs while his kids live off credit cards and Saudis buy up all the mortgages in Kansas.

And yet, you have the nerve to criticize and mock our politics. Right on cue again, NK.

[speechlesstx]

Ex, not that I called anyone a hater, but read the two quotes from the article I just posted to NK and tell me these people people aren't worthy of the title.

I can understand your fears, but what I don't understand are these unhinged fears of people that don't know anything about the person they think doesn't know anything.

[NeedKarma]

I do think it was incorrect to call her a fat pig. She is being paraded as a MILF. I stand corrected.

And I'll comment on anything my heart desires - the interweb is a great series of tubes!

Hello Need:

I hadn't seen that part of the interview. Now that I have, I too, stand corrected. She knows even LESS than I said.

She isn't being paraded as such, and you're repeating such a disgusting, demeaning insult is pathetic. So go ahead, NK, I encourage you to comment all you want. The real Needkarma is showing more and more...
