Palin calls for civil health care discussion

[undeterred]

Source: Associated Press

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is calling for civil discourse on President Barack Obama's health care proposal.

Palin's call on Facebook came just days after she characterized Obama's plan as "downright evil."

In her latest posting, Palin says there are many disturbing details in the bill. But she says people must stick to discussion of the issues "and not get sidetracked by tactics that can be accused of leading to intimidation or harassment."

The former Republican vice presidential candidate asked supporters not to give "proponents of nationalized health care any reason to criticize us." Palin resigned as governor on July 26, and there is speculation she will run for president in 2012.

What an unfunny joke she is. If she wants "civil discourse" she should take herself out of the discussion altogether.

the old fashion conservative way. You open your mouth and I'll scream and shout and act like a freaking lunatic who has been listening to glen beck the past five years.

Not to worry she'll soon quit this endeavor.

[lapfog_1]

5. Someone finally pointed out to her just how stupid she really is.

and now she is trying to walk back the "death panel" remarks.

Too little too late sister Sarah.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

6. The voice of sanity.

[Epiphany4z]

[TheWraith]

8. FUCK YOU!

[mac56]

9. I think it dawned on her how she's been running her yap lately

and now she's getting scared.

[xultar]

11. No, she's fucking psycho and the sane one is talking...or the insane one is faking it.

[Botany]

10. Sarah you quit as Governor you can be quite now because you don't matter

Shut up and go away.

[Algorem]

12. multiple personality

[Control-Z]

13. Sounds like someone

told Sarah to stop the fucking lies and intimidation tactics.

Imagine how horribly confused her rattle brained followers must be about now? Keeping up with her has got to be strenuous.

[Wizard777]

14. It sounds like Sarah has had a vist from Levi's mom and is back on her Meds.

That actually made sense. Obama's gonna kill my baby must be code for more xanax.

[TheCowsCameHome]

15. Sarah who?

[JenniferJuniper]

16. OH MY GOD THEY WANT TO KILL MY BABY!

Yes, Sarah. Civil. Logical. Rational.

Be nice if you were capable of any of those things.

[BattyDem]

17. You talk about "death panels" but NOW you want civility?

:rofl:

[Liberalynn]

18. Caribou Barbie

can't see civil from her porch. Go home and keep trying though CB.

[AlbertCat]

19. The GOP musta told her to say this.

If Palin advocates civil discourse, them NO ONE from EITHER PARTY will want to do it!

Those clever boots!

[joecool65]

21. High school diploma

I am calling for Sarah Palin to show her high school diploma.
Or at least her transcripts from the five colleges she attended.
I would like to know how many WF "grades" she had in college.

[redwitch]

47. Do you mean WTF grades?

:-)


I actually think hubby may be right, she's the reincarnation of George Wallace.

[lolly]

58. Withdrawal/Fail

W/F (or FW, as my college uses) probably means that the student failed because he/she stopped attending classes sometime after the withdrawal deadline.

[Supersedeas]

42. Tow the Party Line, Bible Spice....

[Libertas1776]

20. Yes

because it the right wingers that have been promoting civil discourse, and the pro health reformers who have been promoting violence and terrorism.

FUCK OFF YOU MOOSE JAW B-I-T-C-H!!!!

[grytpype]

22. The first thing she can do is quit lying about the plan.

[demoborn47]

23. SHUT

THE F UP

[Joanne98]

24. FUCK OFF *^%$(*

[cbdo2007]

25. I call on her to quickly fade from the spotlight and never bother any of us ever again.

[gratuitous]

26. You want civil from us downright evil folks?

Make up your alleged mind, Mrs. Palin.

[Cass]

27. She is a conniving bald-faced liar.

If she were truly serious about wanting a civil discourse on health care reform she wouldn't have made the despicable comments she made last week. She is playing both sides of the fence - stoking the flames and then trying to portray herself as the voice of reason.

It reminds me of the attention-whore celebrities who alert the paparazzi they will be at a specific place then "complain" when the paparazzi take their pictures. Its duplicitous as hell.

[cbdo2007]

28. is it "bald-faced liar" or "bold-faced liar"?

Just curious. I always thought it was bold-faced liar? Hmmmm, this may warrant it's own discussion...

[Cass]

32. Lol, now that you mention it, I really don't know.

Off to search the inter-tubes for answers.


Ok, looks like both are correct:

The truth is this: both are used, and so is barefaced. Bald-faced is the newest term; its first known print appearance dates back only 62 years, to 1943. Bold-faced is some four centuries older than that, dating to 1591. Although you might guess bald-faced developed out of a mishearing of bold-faced, the meanings of the two adjectives are not synonymous. Bold-faced means "bold in manner or conduct; impudent"; bald-faced has the same meaning as barefaced: "open; unconcealed"; and "having or showing a lack of scruples."

Barefaced is one year older than bold-faced; its first print appearance dates to 1590. But the original meaning of barefaced was literal: it meant "having the face uncovered," either "beardless" or "wearing no mask." Not surprisingly, folks using the word barefaced were open to shifting the adjective into the metaphoric realm: barefaced soon came to describe something "unconcealed or open"; and then something "showing or having a lack of scruples."

[undeterred]

36. I always thought it was ball-faced.

[Botany]

40. ball-faced?

no that would be the tea baggers

[EFerrari]

37. It's probably regional -- like standing in line or on line. n/t

[Arkana]

29. You fucking bitch, Sarah--you were just railing about Obama's "death panels"

and now you want the debate to be CIVIL?!

Go to hell you fucking waste of flesh.

[Odin2005]

30. Says the psycho woman that claimed Obama wanted to kill Trig.

This disabled American is STILL offended by the comment, Sarah!

Edit: Could we PLEASE quit using the word "bitch"? this is a progressive site and misogynist slurs should not be allowed.

[deep1]

54. Nope, PC police, the word fits her.......

a female dog she is!

[CrispyQ]

31. Does she even listen to what she says?

"Death panels" one day & civil discourse the next. :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

[Capt. America]

33. Next: fox calls for civil discussion regarding security of hen house.

[defendandprotect]

34. The GOP sends the fascists out to disrupt and then they want to deny it?

[Quantess]

35. She quit her job so she has time for this?

I wish she would take up drinking and video poker instead.

[Butch350]

38. It's Sybil at her best.

[droidamus2]

39. The Repubs need some new tricks

This is one of their oldest. They will come out with all sorts of nasty statements and bromides against liberals and the Democrats and then before the Democrats can react in kind all the Republicans are jumping up and down about how we all have to have a 'civil' conversation. Though I totally support the idea of debating ideas in a reasonable and civil manner if these people think they can scream and yell and threaten and we're just supposed to cower in fear they have another thing coming.

[niyad]

41. this is AFTER she talks about "obama's death panel", yes? she is even more pathetic than ever

[crim son]

43. She's really not in a position to call for anything.

Who cares what Palin thinks?

[Crunchy Frog]

44. I'll civilly tell the bitch to go fuck herself.

[mitchum]

45. Courteous understanding nuanced tactful

[GoddessOfGuinness]

46. Right. "Civil discourse" to Palin and her ilk means

Do things their way and shut up.

The time is past for civility. The thugs fucked up, and should no longer be allowed at the discussion table.

[Philledude]

48. Other comments Palin comparison

I have to comment that you all are extremely juvenile and crass, but extremely creative and entertaining. This is one of the best comment pages I've ever laughed my way through.

<b>"Sarah Palin - The Voice of Sanity"</b>. I think that's my all-time favorite (so far). Keep it up. It is greatly deserved!

[and-justice-for-all]

49. FAIL...

She may run in 2012, but she will get her ass handed to her again.

Given the obstacles Obama faces with his goals, most will come to be, while others will have to shelved. But I think he will prevail and he will get a second term. Especially if this Health Care reform comes to pass, which I think it will.

[cap]

50. she is so high school

just a page out of "mean girls"... she says/does something inflamatory and then acts like an appropriate response to her actions is out of line...

Sarah, we grew up... you didn't

[David Zephyr]

51. That Wasilla Meth is contaminated. She's a drug addict.

This woman is a dope addict. You heard it here first.

[npk]

52. So this was her higher calling. Her reason for leaving office

To post on Facebook. :rofl:

[deep1]

53. Stupid woman is....

backtracking now, huh?

[BreweryYardRat]

55. Sounds like she got a visit from the FBI or the Secret Service.

She's a coward, like most repugs. She'll spew hate right up until it looks like someone will consider her responsible for any violence that happens as a result.

[SOS]

56. That's it

By using terror tactics, Palin opened herself to liability when one of her imbeciles opens fire.
This latest Facebook missive is designed to give her legal cover.

(and why is the corporate media treating the Facebook ravings of a deranged, unemployed woman as "news'?)

[Brother Buzz]

57. So, she quits her job so she can spend more time on Facebook?

Is the poor dear falling behind on her fledgling twitting carrier?
