Speaking about the new Sarah Palin endeavour to take people’s money – the launch of Palin TV – Meghan McCain made it clear that she is not a fan of the Palin.
“When I looked at her site, though, I don’t know how this is different than a blog with video posts. It didn’t look like a video channel,” she said.
Meghan compared what Palin is trying to do, to Glenn Beck and the actual network he began. “Glenn Beck has TheBlaze which is an actual channel you can turn to on television.”
Asked by her co-host Jacob Soboroff if McCain plans to subscribe to Palin’s new channel, which costs $9.95 per month, McCain gave an emphatic no.
“I am not gonna subscribe to Sarah Palin’s $9.95 per month. I got all the Sarah Palin I need for one time.”
Sarah Palin and the Republicans are continuing to sing the impeachment song. Over the weekend, Palin once again floated the idea of impeaching President Obama because… well, because she says so. And the Republicans at the Western Conservative Summit in Denver loved it!
“There’s only one remedy for a president who commits high crimes and misdemeanors, and it’s impeachment,” she said. “It’s the ‘I-word.’ You don’t need some fancy law degree hanging on your wall there to know laws are not being enforced today. Illegal immigrants all over the world also know that.”
Democrats are hoping that Republicans jump off that impeachment cliff again.
Since Boehner’s lawsuit against Obama and the constant Republican drumbeat for impeachment, the voting base of the Democratic party are getting riled up for the midterm election, an election they generally sit out.
The Washington Post reports that The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has raised $3.7 million from 200,000 online donations since Boehner announced his lawsuit on June 25.
“Republicans are drastically overreaching with their lawsuit and impeachment talk, and the result has been a massive surge of enthusiasm from our grass-roots supporters,” DCCC chairman Rep. Steve Israel (D-N.Y) said. “A stark contrast has developed between Republicans’ focus on suing or impeaching the president and Democrats’ focus on strengthening the economy for the middle class.”
“You don’t bring a lawsuit to a gunfight,” Sarah Palin said on Fox’s Hannity on Tuesday, questioning Boehner’s proposed lawsuit of the president. “And there’s no place for lawyers on the front lines. I think it’s time for a little less talk, a lot more action,” she said.
Palin then suggested that some Republicans in Congress want to impeach the president, so that should be the reason to start the impeachment proceedings.
“When we see even GOP lawmakers who are recognizing and proclaiming Obama’s violation of the constitution, and then ignoring that constitution and the power they have to impeach, it gets kind of frustrating for the American people.”
Echoing an op-ed she published this week on the Breitbart website, Palin said impeachment was the only device Congress could use to halt the actions of what she described as an “imperial President.”
“The one tool they have are articles of impeachment, let’s get going on that,” she said.
They’re ringing the impeachment bell, but no one, not Sarah Palin, not John Boehner, not any other congressional Republican are saying exactly what the president has done that warrants impeachment.
OK this is it. The height of Republican hypocrisy . I truly cannot take it anymore. I can’t. President Obama swapped five Gitmo detainees, who have been found to be guilty of nothing other than maybe despising George W. Bush, (if this were a crime I would be on death row by now along with many others) for our last remaining POW of Bush’s many wars. Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl was released by the Taliban as the five detainees were sent home. Right away there was Republican outrage over the swap. Of course the guy who was a POW himself John McCain has been extremely vocal in his criticism.
McCain of all people should be championing this. He knows what years in captivity can do your mind, body and spirit. He knows that the people in Gitmo are being held illegally. He knows this but denies it. He claims to be against torture but in the next breath will say that holding human beings illegally is not torture. Yes it is. Those prisoners in Gitmo have as much right to their freedom as Sgt. Bergdahl does. McCain is once again a no good hypocrite, one of rapidly deteriorating mental health as well.
Sarah Palin who had just recently prayed for the quick and safe return of Bergdahl, is now condemning Obama for the swap. Palin has even less worth than McCain. She prays that something will happen even though you and I know she doesn’t believe in shit. However prayer is as far as she goes. When it comes to actually doing something to make that prayer come true she is at a loss. She would praise God but condemn Obama for doing the exact thing she has been praying for. But of course she wouldn’t have any real ideas, or solutions, because she is the quitter from Alaska. She is a soulless, brainless entity that is of no use.
Let’s forget for a moment about the details surrounding the disappearance of Bergdahl. Some are calling him a hero, others a traitor. This is neither here nor there. He is an American who was being held captive by the Taliban and his return is welcome and the right thing to have happened. Once again Obama accomplishes a major foreign affairs issue with little drama and no violence or deaths. Our country wanted him back and he is back. Safe. Ted Cruz said he would have sent forces in to get him. And a hundred American soldier deaths later we might have him back, albeit maybe not in one piece.
If there was to be any criticism coming it certainly can’t be from the same people that had no problem at all with their hero Ronnie Reagan sending deadly weapons to our enemies in return for hostages. Right? I mean this is a no brainer, isn’t it? Thousands of weapons that could in turn kill us and our soldiers swapped for hostages. I mean that is far far worse than just five dudes for one soldier right? Let’s do the math. Oh well most Republicans can’t add so I guess that is out the window!
You really can’t wrap your mind around the hypocrisy. Yet there they are, loud and clear calling Obama a criminal. Saying that what he did was an impeachable act. This is the kind of stuff they are saying. Yes, they fully backed their hero Reagan, the man of their wet dreams (the only kind of wet dreams Republicans can have anyway). But when it comes to that black, socialist, welfare loving, free health care giving President Obama, well then it’s just an outrage!
I will give them some of their own medicine. If you don’t agree with the safe return of an American soldier, you are not a patriot. You are a traitor. You should live somewhere else.
Speaking of that I would like to propose a trade. To the Taliban I send John McCain and Sarah Palin. In return I would like some of your best hummus. I think that’s fair.
Retreating once again to the safe confines of Fox News where reporters are few and opinions are many, governor Quitter-from-Alaska continued her comedy routine by calling the President “lazy.”
Palin began setting up her punch-line by saying that President Obama knew about the Veterans Affairs crisis some 6 years ago, but did nothing about it. For those of you who forgot your calculators at home today, 6 years ago will be right about the time the president was being sworn into office.
Here is how the lazy Palin, who quit half way through her first term as governor of Alaska, educated the Fox audience on how to spot a lazy person… as reported by Fox.
Palin also touched on the VA scandal, saying that President Barack Obama was told six years ago about issues within the VA. However, he has just been “engaging in rhetoric about problems of those under his charge.”
Hannity asked Palin why she thinks that Obama does not hold people accountable, citing Kathleen Sebelius and Eric Shinseki.
“When you hold someone accountable, it takes energy and resource, and Barack Obama is lazy. In fact, he warned us that he was lazy, and he attributed that to having been brought up in Hawaii. It’s his words, not mine. And, another thing is that Barack Obama still doesn’t see what the main problem is. This main problem is government. It’s not the solution like Ronald Reagan said, it’s the problem.
Sarah palin thinks… ( okay, just let that phrase digest for a second…), now back to what I was saying. Sarah Palin thinks that because her halfterm governing skills were questioned, and others had questions about her grandson, she thinks that the entire political career of the former Secretary of State and the lies about her health should be questioned as well.
On her Facebook page, Palin wrote;
“Hey! Hillary’s brain is off-limits! Leave her health records alone! Democrats are right – scouring records of a female candidate is just politics of personal destruction, and for the media to engage in it would be unfair, unethical, and absolutely UNPRECEDENTED. You can’t probe a woman like that because, well, it’s a war on women!
Bunch of sexist, big meanies engaging in something heretofore unheard of, for shame.”
As proof that this isn’t the first time a (potential) female candidate’s health records have been mined for scandal, Palin posted links from POLITCO, Salon and elsewhere about the conspiracy theories surrounding her son Trig. During the 2008 election, rumors swirled that Palin’s youngest, who has Down syndrome, was actually Bristol Palin’s son…
So, just to be clear, Palin is still mad that liberals tried to “scour” her medical records in 2008. But instead of being angry with Rove and other conservatives for doing the same thing to Hillary Clinton, she’s fed up with Democrats for not recognizing the irony?
In case you’re wondering, Sarah Palin claims that she wants the best for America. That’s apparently why she is making all these endorsements.
The latest person Palin wants
to see in a leadership role in America is a teabagger whose only claim to fame is wrestling an alligator. A man named Rob Maness.
In her endorsement, Palin said;
“In the Louisiana Senate race we have the opportunity to send a true conservative and a real warrior to join that fight. So, today I am lending my support to retired Col. Rob Maness for U.S. Senate.”
In Palin’s America, we’ll all he able to see Russia from her house and America would be run by quitters and alligator wrestlers. That’s why I vote Democratic.
Ever wondered why they say “arguing with a conservative is like playing chess with a pigeon? Here’s a perfect example.
Everyone, from liberals to conservatives, are up in arms over Sarah Palin’s recent NRA speech where she compared religion with Waterboarding. But instead of Palin realizing the folly of her ways and apologizing for her dumb remarks, she went on Facebook and double down on her nonsense.
Actions to stop terrorists who’d utterly annihilate America and delight in massacring our innocent children? Darn right I’d do whatever it takes to foil their murderous jihadist plots – including waterboarding. Whatever one thinks of my one-liner at the NRA rally about treating evil terrorists the way they deserve to be treated to prevent the death of innocent people, it’s utterly absurd for MSNBC to suggest that I could put our beloved troops in harm’s way, but we’ve come to expect the absurd from that failing network.
Again Sarah Palin, this is not about keeping America safe. This is about your decision to politicize a religious activity, with something as the immoral as waterboarding.
But then, explaining this to you would be like playing chess with a pigeon.
Finally, The veil has been lifted and the conservative media is beginning to see what the liberals have seen from day one – that Sarah Palin, the quitter from Alaska, is a selfish loser who will do or say anything to further her name with a particular group.
What brought this realization to these people was Palin’s recent NRA soeech, where she foolishly compared waterboarding and baptism.
In the highly pitch shriek – or speech if that’s what you wanna call it – Palin said;
“Oh, but you can’t offend them, can’t make them feel uncomfortable, not even a smidgen. Well, if I were in charge, they would know that waterboarding is how we baptize terrorists.”
And understandably, Christians should be outraged! Baptism is not a political ploy. It is not something you invoke to further your politics in front of a certain group. It is a sacred belief based deep in the Christian foundation, and Palin’s Ill-advised association with waterboarding was truly sacrilegious.
But don’t just take my word on it, I’m just a liberal. Here’s an example of what the conservatives are saying.
Man, the 12 minute speech Sarah Palin gave to the NRA convention is awful. It’s just witless, red-meat blathering, delivered in that nasal whine of hers that makes it sound like she’s chewing wads of tinfoil. For people who like this sort of thing, this is the sort of thing they like.
Fast-forward in the video to the 6:30 mark, though, and listen to what she says about terrorists. It’s part of a long harangue about lily-livered liberals, delivered in such a way that makes Archie Bunker sound like Cicero. Money quote:
“Oh, but you can’t offend them, can’t make them feel uncomfortable, not even a smidgen. Well, if I were in charge, they would know that waterboarding is how we baptize terrorists.”
OK, stop. Not only is this woman, putatively a Christian, praising torture, but she is comparing it to a holy sacrament of the Christian faith. It’s disgusting — but even more disgusting, those NRA members, many of whom are no doubt Christians, cheered wildly for her.
I’m with my Lutheran pal Mollie Hemingway on this. Excerpt:
I’ve long defended Palin against the offensive treatment she’s received at the hands of a blatantly biased media, a media that collectively lost its mind the moment she entered the national stage. But that hardly means she must be defended at all times. … This is a perfect example not just of civil religion but also how civil religion harms the church. Civil religion is that folk religion that serves to further advance the cause of the state.
Palin and all those who cheered her sacrilegious jibe ought to be ashamed of themselves. For us Christians, baptism is the entry into new life. Palin invoked it to celebrate torture.
The failed half term governor from Alaska turned political celebrity to the right winged nitwits, made her very important announcement on her Facebook page, explaining that if Nugent is campaigning with Abbott, then all is well in the universe.
“If he is good enough for Ted Nugent, he is good enough for me!” Palin wrote in a Facebook post Wednesday.
Abbott, currently serving as the state’s attorney general and challenging Democrat Wendy Davis, came under fire this week after inviting Nugent to campaign with him. The musician recently made offensive remarks about the president, who he called a “subhuman mongrel” in a January interview.
Abbott said Nugent would be joining him on the trail to expose Davis’s position on gun rights and the musician already appeared at an event Tuesday.
Palin wrote that Abbott is “a believer in the power of liberty and the need to defend our freedoms from the overreach of an out-of-control federal government.”
Sarah Palin answered a few questions about Chris Christie on Tuesday, and to hear the quitter from Alaska say it, Christie’s claim that he knew nothing about what was happening under his own nose is just about impossible. In an interview with Inside Edition, Palin held Christie by the back of his pants waist and with a swing, tossed the governor under the bus.
“When I was mayor and manager of this city, and then governor of the state, certainly you know what your top aides are up to.”
The New York Daily News thought this statement was a tad bit disingenuous, considering the fact that she claimed ignorance when she dealt with her bit of office scandal better known as Troopergate. The News explained Troopergate:
Palin caught heat for firing Alaska Commissioner of Public Safety Walt Monegan in July 2008, allegedly because he refused to fire State Trooper Mike Wooten.
Palin, her family and aides reportedly had pressured Monegan, a member of Palin’s Cabinet, to get rid of Wooten, who was divorced from Palin’s sister Molly McCann.
Sarah Palin, you remember her right? She is the same person who used a slavery comparison to throw out her partisan Republican talking point in a speech a few months ago. Trying to educate Mrs Palin on the harsh and horrific reality of slavery, Martin Bashir of MSNBC explained some of the circumstances these slaves lived under, and wondered if Palin would still used the comparison if she experienced some of the same treatment.
It’s free speech, constitutionally protected by the first amendment, and Bashir was absolutely correct in the point he was trying to make. But right winged media and Sarah Palin jumped and piled on, until Bashir apologized and eventually quit his job a few days later.
And now this. Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty has shared his opinion on gays. And as misguided as his comments were, it was his right to have that opinion. And as his employer, A&E also had the right to deal with the situation the way they saw fit. They suspended the star of the Duck Dynasty show and that is where Palin and the right wing media went off the deep end.
In her Facebook page, Palin is seen in a picture with the stars of the A&E program, with the caption: Free speech is an endangered species. Those “intolerants” hatin’ and taking on the Duck Dynasty patriarch for voicing his personal opinion are taking on all of us.
Yes folks, she actually said that “free speech is an endangered species,” and called anyone trying to take away speech from Phil Robertson “intolerants.” But can’t the same thing be said for Martin Bashir’s free speech? Why is Sarah Palin advocating for Phil Robertson’s “free speech” and not Martin Bashir’s? When Bashir lost his job over his free speech, where was Sarah Palin?
In an interview on Fox, Palin again said that “this is all about free speech.” She went on to say that people “spilled blood and treasure to guarantee Phil Robertson and everybody else’s right to voice their personal opinions, and once that freedom is lost,” Palin said, “everything is lost in our country.”
The hypocrisy on this one is so thick, you can cut it with a knife.
As if it was really needed, this is just another example of the hypocrisy that is the foundation of the Republican party.
