Palin has Thanksgiving Facebook meltdown

[RandySF]

Via Facebook, of course:

My fellow Americans in all 57 states, the time has changed for come. With our country founded more than 20 centuries ago, we have much to celebrate – from the FBI’s 100 days to the reforms that bring greater inefficiencies to our health care system. We know that countries like Europe are willing to stand with us in our fight to halt the rise of privacy, and Israel is a strong friend of Israel’s. And let’s face it, everybody knows that it makes no sense that you send a kid to the emergency room for a treatable illness like asthma and they end up taking up a hospital bed. It costs, when, if you, they just gave, you gave them treatment early, and they got some treatment, and ah, a breathalyzer, or an inhalator. I mean, not a breathalyzer, ah, I don’t know what the term is in Austrian for that…

Of course, the paragraph above is based on a series of misstatements and verbal gaffes made by Barack Obama (I didn’t have enough time to do one for Joe Biden). YouTube links are provided just in case you doubt the accuracy of these all too human slips-of-the-tongue. If you can’t remember hearing about them, that’s because for the most part the media didn’t consider them newsworthy. I have no complaint about that. Everybody makes the occasional verbal gaffe – even news anchors.

Obviously, I would have been even more impressed if the media showed some consistency on this issue. Unfortunately, it seems they couldn’t resist the temptation to turn a simple one word slip-of-the-tongue of mine into a major political headline. The one word slip occurred yesterday during one of my seven back-to-back interviews wherein I was privileged to speak to the American public about the important, world-changing issues before us.

If the media had bothered to actually listen to all of my remarks on Glenn Beck’s radio show, they would have noticed that I refer to South Korea as our ally throughout, that I corrected myself seconds after my slip-of-the-tongue, and that I made it abundantly clear that pressure should be put on China to restrict energy exports to the North Korean regime. The media could even have done due diligence and checked my previous statements on the subject, which have always been consistent, and in fact even ahead of the curve. But why let the facts get in the way of a good story? (And for that matter, why not just make up stories out of thin air – like the totally false hard news story which has run for three days now reporting that I lobbied the producers of “Dancing with the Stars” to cast a former Senate candidate on their show. That lie is further clear proof that the media completely makes things up without doing even rudimentary fact-checking.)

1. Sarah, honey - please do us all a favor

let us just have to deal with one turkey on Thanksgiving and STFU.

[malaise]

18. +1,000

Does she ever STFU?

[madmax]

27. Never - perpetual diarrhea of the mouth - that one. nt

[HipChick]

2. OMG! she can let nothing go..she must have been throwing cans all day

[Cleita]

51. Or shooting them. n/t

[Pirate Smile]

3. Such a petty POS. She screws up so she has to try to distract. She's pathetic.

This is her "Thanksgiving" message.

[bluestateguy]

4. If she can't handle the media being hard on her

then how would she be able to handle Kim Jong-il, Mahmoud Ahmadinejadand and the Taliban.

Will she quit as soon as they say mean things about her?

[MadMaddie]

36. First she will tweet about it

Maybe write something on her hand.....

Go on Faux to discuss international policies but refuse to actually talk to the World Leaders (that is unless they bought her books).

[rubberducky]

5. Whine,baby, Whine!

[HipChick]

6. Palin's problem : Paranoia

Palin assumes if one does not agree with her politics, it is a personal attack- on her family, her intellect, her way of life. Then she goes, on attack. Her paranoia hurts her appeal,she's too thin-skinned to handle a Presidential campaign.

She's going to have to stop using the whiny "lamestream media is out to smear me" defense, because if she thinks she's being scrutinized now, wait until she actually throws her hat into the ring. God has shown her what door to walk through, it's just a pity she's too thick to take the hint.

[CLANG]

I attack her family, her intellect, her way of life, because she's an heartless moron.

[HipChick]

14. Her hypocrisy and lies needs to be continued to be exposed...

[madmax]

29. I think her paranoia is that she's stupid and

can't stop sticking her foot in her mouth. Makes her even more batshit crazy if that's possible.

I do believe that McCain being told to pick her for VP went to her friggen head. She actually believes she's quailifed for either postion. I prefer her in the prone position, at home, in Alaska.

[TheCowsCameHome]

7. I have two words for you, sweetie.

And they aren't "Happy Thanksgiving".

[SaveAmerica]

8. I've always said that North Karolina is our enemy!

[Canuckistanian]

30. We've always been at war with North Karolina

It's double-plus ungood.

[bluerum]

9. Is this freaking real? Or is this satire. Cause it sure reads like jibberish.

[RandySF]

13. It's real

Either she or a ghost writer posted it on Facebook a short time ago.

[bluerum]

15. She's a damn whiner. And I mean that in the worst possible way.

[gordianot]

43. My thought exactly even from this idiot it cannot be real and must be satire.

[lame54]

10. any links for when she was "ahead of the curve"?

[bullwinkle428]

11. Shouldn't she be celebrating this day with her allegedly beloved family?

:shrug:

[cherish44]

12. What a bitter sounding woman she is

seriously, I don't think she has a thick enough skin to be Wasilla Dog Catcher let alone president

[BeyondGeography]

16. Waaah, her self-esteem has been refudiated

:cry:

[Raine]

17. Advice: "LADY" LET IT GO AND MOVE ON!!!

I'm kind of thin skinned myself but compared to her I have the hide of an allegator.

[SoCalDem]

19. She did NOT write that..

She's a scatter-brain and could not possibly have strung all those malapropisms into a cogent paragraph...or even "rememberated" them..

This is a snarky work of wordsmithing, no doubt paid for by the Princess of Club for Fish, but is not from her own hand or brain..

[RandySF]

20. Well, it's on her FB page

http://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/notes/sarah-palin/a-thanksgiving-message-to-all-57-states/463364218434

[SoCalDem]

21. She may know how to copy-paste

:rofl:

[Iris]

41. Ok - I am HORRIFIED by how many of my friends on Facebook have liked this woman's page

I'm about to remedy that now...

[Raine]

38. Probably not but would bet it's inline withher

"thinking". :silly:

[RandySF]

22. For those having trouble believing she wrote it.

http://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/notes/sarah-palin/a-thanksgiving-message-to-all-57-states/463364218434

[uncle ray]

23. and i have the Declaration of Independence on my FB page.

[SoCalDem]

40. I do not doubt that it's on her "page"/wall-whatever

BUT.. she had someone else "write" it for her.. She is capable of copy/paste from an email ..but that's about as far as her "mad-skillz" go:)

[inna]

24. got me at first.

[Tx4obama]

25. The first paragraphn Palin is mocking Obama ....

If you go to her FB page and read the post she has hyper-links in the paragraph that take you to what she is referencing
http://www.facebook.com/sarahpalin?v=wall#!/notes/sarah-palin/a-thanksgiving-message-to-all-57-states/463364218434

[pnorman]

50. Thanks for pointing that out, about the hyper-links!

That being the case, WHOEVER actually composed it, she was making a very valid point.

By reacting like a school of minnows to a bread crumb tossed into the water, we end up looking pretty silly! DU can do a lot better than that!

[pgodbold]

26. Fucking Noxzema has eaten through to her brain. nt

[Canuckistanian]

28. Oh shit, this isn't parody

I was ready to compliment the parody author with a LOL.

Instead, :wow:

[Lil Missy]

31. That woman is an idiot.

[Botany]

32. Now who really thinks that S. Palin wrote that little screed?

It has correct punctuation so it couldn't be from her.



BTW it was the back to back interviews that made Palin forget the difference between
North and South Korea?

BTW II It was Glen Beck who corrected Ms. Palin gaff not Sarah.

CO-HOST: How would you handle a situation like the one that just developed in North Korea? <...>

PALIN: But obviously, we’ve got to stand with our North Korean allies. We’re bound to by treaty –

CO-HOST: South Korean.

PALIN: Eh, Yeah. And we’re also bound by prudence to stand with our South Korean allies, yes.

[MadMaddie]

33. Alex I will take "Liar, Liar pants on Fire" for $500.00

I can't tell if this text is a joke or for real. It's horrible.....

So now Sarah is attacking President Obama on his speech pattern....and she even got the speech text wrong.

And Sarah the interviewer tried to correct you and you ignored the correction....liar...liar....

[Jamastiene]

34. Oh look, it's the Idiot Manifesto.

Jeez, can't she at least give it a break on Thanksgiving, for crying out loud? Are we going to hear another Idiot Manifesto on Christmas Day too? :eyes:

It's a wonder everyone who has to be around her on a regular basis is not totally strung out. They deserve a medal of some sort for resisting the overriding urge they must feel to stuff a sock in her mouth and/or ring her neck.

:beer:

[Confusious]

I can tell it's fake

To many periods ending sentences, and the word "paragraph"

[Turborama]

That's because it was probably written by her mentor, Bill Kristol

She doesn't write any of the long stuff, she's only allowed to do tweets, and they're probably taking that privilege away from her as I type.

[last_texas_dem]

35. Awww, Sarah, don't go away mad...

...just go away.

[proud2BlibKansan]

37. Check out her fan club's comments

Wesley Martin I beg you pardon!! I know we all are suposed to respect our president, but I have no respect from him or anyone of the GODLESS, BRAIN DEAD, SELFISH demecrats up in our white house!! You go Mrs. Palin!! You run you will have my vote along with alot of other americans!!

Jim Howse Well according to MSNBC I'm a tea party "wacko" among other things for wanting Obama care repealed. Their vicious remarks about others who do not share their communist views led me to adore the Tea Party and all who speak for it, especially you Governor. This being said if you run for President in 2012 know you already have my vote. Happy Thanksgiving and God bless you and your family Mrs. Palin.

Julie Bentley I am SO sick of the media and they're undying need to destroy your reputation. THANK GOD for Fox News and the internet where we can get the real story. It gives me hope that America has woken up and are rejecting the traditional media outlets. Except, I did hear this slip up on Studio B with Shepard Smith and he got a giggle out of it... annoying, but Juan Williams defended you!

[NuclearDem]

39. Like Palin would know the first thing about fact-checking

The reason we took your "simple slip-of-the-tongue" and made into major news is because you DON'T KNOW THE FIRST DAMN THING about the "important, world-changing issues before us."

[applegrove]

42. If she got all of those Obama mistakes in one day - since her latest gaff..she has or has access to

lots of resources.

[daleo]

44. The U.S. was founded 20 centuries ago?

By who, Jesus?

Even as a dog whistle to religious extremists, that's uniquely crazy.

[polly7]

45. Couldn't she have defended her remark without bringing someone else

into it? She's very immature ...... and vindictive. And nasty. And .....

[Metric System]

46. Wow, she is unbelievably thin-skinned. This woman should not be allowed anywhere near nukes.

[democracy1st]

47. She's starting to feel the heat..Now she's understands people are looking at a dummy LOL!

[JackRiddler]

48. Face it: You guys love her.

[beyurslf]

49. I don't need to read the gibberish at the top to believe that she knows it is

the South and not north Korea with whom we are allied. Everyone does misspeak. I have plenty of reasons to believe she is an idiot without needing this one little thing.

[WhoDoYouTrust]

53. This is not misspeak.

She thought Africa is a country. Read Game Change. THE WOMAN IS AN IDIOT!

[Botany]

54. and she couldn't name one Supreme Court case other than Roe v Wade

The case of, "State of Alaska v Exxon," might have crossed her desk
as a 1/2 term governor of that state .... it was not a misspeak on her
part she is a straight up idiot ..... and if anybody thinks she wrote that
thing posted on her facebook page they have been smoking meth & crack
after drinking pint thinner.

[kestrel91316]

52. She is a classic SNOTTY BITCH.

[Angrylarry]

55. why

Why won't she go away? Why?
