Ugh. First Michele Bachmann, now Sarah Palin:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=4271360&mesg_id=4271360">Michele Bachmann claims her remarks were "misread"

-------------------

http://www.cbn.com/CBNnews/467141.aspx">Sarah Palin claims she has not heard anything bad at her rallies

Brody: Let me ask you a little bit about some of these rallies. I know that some, some people, John McCain have called them fringe out there who has said some things out there about Barack Obama at his rallies. Do you feel a responsibility when those are said to say enough of this type of talk?

Palin: Absolutely. But what we have heard through some mainstream media is that folks have hollered out some pretty atrocious and unacceptable things like "kill him" or some, we have not heard that. If I ever were to hear that standing up there at the podium with the mic, I would call 'em out on that, and I would tell these people, no, that's unacceptable, let's rise about that please. We haven't heard that. What I have heard though is even in the other camp though some negativity that has been injected in the campaign with the candidate himself, with Barack Obama telling his supporter to get out there and quote "get in their face, argue with them." That, you know, that's kind of inciting and a bit negative and John McCain and I will have nothing to do with that, but it is unacceptable if we were ever to hear the shout outs that are so negative that we have heard being reported, if I were to hear that I would say no, we don't stand for that.


Oooooh, Obama said "get in their face, argue with them!" That is SOOOOO comparable to "kill him!", "terrorist!" etc

:puke: :puke: :puke:

1. Sarah Palin's MO is to immediately spin and project what she's done.
Watch her. That's what she does every time.

13. You're right. We barely know her from a hole in the ground
and she's already become quite predictable. That means something, like we've grown from our experience of having our intelligence assaulted for the last eight years. And they haven't.

I think Palin probably doesn't realize the importance of the internet either. She doesn't get it that her every word is a matter of historical veracity. They don't get it, this new Century, with it's internets and tubes and things. They're doing business as usual and the public (the non luddite one) are far ahead of them.

In fact, I think you are a fucking liar.

5. Yeah...and the Troopergate panel totally exonerated her too.

To echo Jon Stewart's sentiment to Palin: Fuck you, Mooseburgers (nickname added by me)!

8. She lies! Anytime anyone so much as boos at an Obama rally, he says
"No, we don't need any of that. What we need is to vote!"

9. Republican relatives who, duh, only watch Faux say....
nothing like "killer," "terrorist" has EVER been shouted at Palin rallies. No proof whatsoever! And all SS interviewed denied hearing anything (again...duh), as did all media except for the one reporting the story.

A completely fabricated story, according to them.

I could have sworn there were a shitload of videos online within 24 hours of the first incident in which these shouts could be heard.

Have they oh so conveniently been scrubbed?

10. Bachmann caused her opponent to raise $100,000 in a day - now it's up to $500,000
amazing, some peeps just never get to understand how not so smart they are until it hits in the pocket books!

14. Reporters aren't allowed near her
She's kept away from the news and from any journalists. She doesn't do interviews, doesn't take questions and only gets to read her pre-digested cue cards. She hears how great she is and how hot everyone thinks she is. She can't even speak in complete sentences.

And like bullies and narcissists the world over when someone pushes her in the playground it's grounds for pulling out her gun and shooting them. After all, they started it.
