Sarah Palin Invited All of Her Friends to Watch Glenn Beck with Her!!

[Facial_King]

I usually don't defend republicans, but I'll make an exception for once. If she wants to watch Glenn Beck with all her friends, then let her! Just because she almost (which means she didn't) got a job as vice-president doesn't mean she can't do whatever she wants right now.

Nothing personal, but this is little more than an attack on an individual that doesn't play a big role in US politics and won't play a big role in US politics for the next 3 years either (& I doubt she'll play a big role then). She's not even the governor of Alaska anymore.

A bit lame if you ask me.

1. She's still going to try be influential - she has to be if she wants to have a snowball's chance for anything in 2012. It's not like she quit and is just a common fisherwoman now, fishing by day, watching TV at night with the fam (then posting things to her public Facebook page and her thousands of Facebook "friends", stating that Beck is right that Obama is a Commie puppet or whatever other nonsense)

2. I'm NOT trying to stop Sarah Palin from watching Glenn Beck, so there's no need to implore me to "let her"! I'm also not trying to shut Glenn Beck up, to deny him his right to say batshit crazy stuff, or to yank him off the air (I actually think his presence is useful in at least a couple ways); despite all of Beck's paranoid ramblings that he's being perpetually victimized. But Palin should not expect to make very public declarations about Beck's merits and then accept to have any mainstream credibility.

3. If she says loony things in a public forum (that Glenn Beck is a smart guy who's really been telling it like it is!) she should expect other people to note it and respond, which is what I've done. If you wish to characterize it as an attack, okay, but it's not an unfair or unethical attack.

God, I wish people would just stop talking about Sarah Palin and politics... she's a MILF, but not exactly a scholar who's words we should spend any time analyzing.

Ah! Therein lies the conundrum my scholarly friend. Palin is only relevant because of politics and we can't stop talking Palin and politics because politics is all Palin talks about.

And I thought she was only relevant because we all want to give her a facial

Touche.

I'm sure nobody cares, but a correction to my post above, #21 :

"But Palin should not expect to make very public declarations about Beck's merits and then accept to have any mainstream credibility."

should read "...and then expect to have any mainstream credibility."

Add in Tina Fey, and that would be one hell of a threesome!

Oh yes. :nanner:

 

[darkwarrior3007]

I still want to know, what kind of weirdo names their kids Track, Bristol, Willow, Piper and Trig?

Oh come on, there are plenty of Americans with more wacked out names than the Palin kids. I don't think their names are so bad.

 

[MrZiggles]

The left-wing sure is obsessed with her. LOL

 

[knowone]

I was thinking: TheLipstickedPig :angels::1orglaugh

Based on her own joke, shouldn't that be "TheLipstickedPitbull"?

 

[Hot Mega]

The left-wing sure is obsessed with her. LOL

Palin=National embarrassment most normal people likely want her to go away. The obsession over her by the right is what's unfortunately keeping her around.

Most normal, politically minded people likely want to see Sarah in Wonderland back in Wasilla and as far away from the "lower 48" as possible.:2 cents:

:o Hmmm. Maybe? :o Pitbull doesn't offer the same visual as pig though....

You assume she's going to try to be influential in future politics, but you don't know whether she will actually try or if she'll succeed. Until she does succeed, this post is unneeded & it'll only prove to the republicans that Democrats (assuming you are a democrat) whine about unimportant things.

But Palin should not expect to make very public declarations about Beck's merits and then accept to have any mainstream credibility.

I don't know mr. Beck or what he usually says, but the best way to handle his statements is to disprove them, not to make fun of the people who actually watch, listen to & believe it. Besides, keep in mind that she's currently not much of a public person. If you hadn't posted about her at least half of the board members wouldn't even have remembered her. Why would she need mainstream credibility?

3. If she says loony things in a public forum (that Glenn Beck is a smart guy who's really been telling it like it is!) she should expect other people to note it and respond, which is what I've done. If you wish to characterize it as an attack, okay, but it's not an unfair or unethical attack.

& why not? Any other republican who'se not influential right now can say whatever he or she wants & all they'll get in return might be some remarks from people close to them that disagree with their statements. Nobody is going to post these statements on a public board. Nobody on another board is going to quote georges or post links to his posts. To me that looks like unfair & unequal treatment.

It's pretty apparent that Palin quit her job as Governor for several unscrupulous reasons. One reason appears to be she didn't want to be in the juxtaposed position on the stimulus money and have to defend herself on it if she ran for something later. Another clear reason so far is so she can stand on the sidelines taking pot shots at the administration. She's the one continuing to make herself a player in American politics. To ignore the obviousness of that is pretty naive IMO.

Here's Beck at his "finest". The relevant part starts at around the 15 second mark....BTW, there is no greater example for Obama's message of staying in school and paying attention while you're there than this imbecile demonstrates here...enjoy. The word the fool is attempting to spell is "oligarchy".

A former governor who ran for VP and developed more of a devout following than the presidential candidate she ran with, who continues to rule out a political future and to make public statements about the current administration IS attempting to be influential in current and future politics. Also, I'm NOT a Democrat, for crying out loud!

You clearly don't know Mr. Beck or what he usually says. He makes Rush Limbaugh look level-headed. And you can't be serious when you say "If you hadn't posted about her at least half of the board members wouldn't even have remembered her." That's not serious.

I disagree with your premise that she's not influential. She has infinitely more influence than georges, to use your example (no offense, georges!). She is quite influential, as is Rush Limbaugh, despite the fact that Limbaugh has never (to my knowledge) run for public office. If she makes public statements, they're fair game for critique.

Maybe I'm wrong.. You're both Americans after all... All I can say is that I believe(d) that nobody with a decent amount of brains in their heads would ever follow someone like Palin, who has made too many mistakes to ignore, even before and during her time as running mate of McCain.

Keeping that belief in mind, I'd find/found it very unlikely that a mature political party like the republican party would ever want to associate with such a person ever again (the Democrats certainly never would!).

Still, if you claim she still has a huge following, then my belief is obviously ungrounded and I drew the wrong conclusions because of that.

Oh gee, what fun! Everyone gather around the tee-vee and let's watch the mad man bloviate!

Frightening that she came so close to the presidency.

She's a Facebook pitbull now.

Where's the evidence that this is true? Can Sarah Palin even turn on a tv?

Gordar all I can say is that I'm glad you're posting this. Palin supporters in typical GOP fashion hold Palin blameless in her own demise. They see her demise as the result of some "liberal media" railroad (what else is new...when all else fails, blame the media for any GOP debacle) never mind the fact that she was treated with kid-skinned gloves by them. I'm glad someone who apparently has no political ax to grind is stating objectively how absurd it is to make Palin out of anything more than a hot-looking air head.

I'm a registered Independent but I voted for Obama and I would gladly do so again a thousand times over any of the lame brains the GOP lined up in their primaries and certainly over a chameleon-like McCain and air headed Palin ticket.

It's pretty clear McCain chose Palin not for capability but what she represented...that being a woman to line up against a possible Clinton selection or to pick off some of the Clinton vote. And because he bought in to her high Alaska poll numbers and thought she must be popular for a reason.

Apparently having only spoken to her a few times max....he couldn't have any idea what kind of bubble head he was choosing.

But I'm joined by many, many Independents and even GOP in that sentiment. It's a mistake to think Obama's support is merely hardcore democrats. Many high profile GOP came out and endorsed Obama prior to the election.

The ONLY GOPer I could foresee on the landscape worth voting for over Obama if he ran is the former Jack Kemp (R.I.P.).

^^^ He's totally right about how Palin and her supporters are playing the victim role. She was a victim of "gotcha" journalism, that being defined by journalists asking her totally unfair questions such as her view of the Bush doctrine, what kinds of books & magazines she read, and what Supreme Court decisions (other than Roe v. Wade) she took issue with. In other words, totally reasonable questions became "gotcha" journalism, and journalists seeking to do in-depth interviews with her became "attacks". Ridiculous.
