Sarah Palin Goes To War

…with the McCain camp. There is yet another controversy associated with the McCain-Palin ticket in which McCain’s associates are saying Palin is factually challenged.

UPDATE: The AP gives this list of specifics about how Palin’s book may be at variance with the facts.

  • Father_Time
    --[She criticizes President Barack Obama for pushing through a bailout package that actually was achieved by his Republican predecessor George W. Bush-- a package she seemed to support at the time]--

    Yeah and I cannot figure out why the republican’s think they have a leg to stand on when they criticize the President for the bailout.

    Palin is wacked. Her goofy comments made with run on sentences alone proves that.

    I have a feeling this book is going to give Sarah the sort of attention she may not be expecting. Her supporters are bound to interpret any criticism of her book as "attacks", since for them it's always been about loyalty more than objectivity - while the D's seem to benefit from her continued exposure. Maybe Palin only cares about attention... period. Strike while the iron is hot dont'cha know!

    Ann Althouse (who I think has to be considered a moderate overall) doesn't seem to be terribly impressed with Palin's book either... to put it gently:

    For my own money I think Palin is a compelling figure in some ways, but not in a way that shows service to very high standards - qualification-wise or conduct-wise... but that's an old story.

    Sarah Palin Goes To War

    Really? A non ChickenHawk Republican?

    Army or Marine Corps? Officer or Enlisted? Iraq or Afghanistan?

    Oh, you mean she's having a pissing contest with other republicans, that's not war that's a spat...
  • JeffersonDavis
    I'm not a big fan of Palin either.... But I respect that she stands up to her own party and I respect that she is pretty darned steady within her convictions.

    If more politicians in Washington were that way, we'd be WAY better off.
    That goes for the GOP, and your beloved Democrats.

    Keep in mind. I'm a "local" democrat here where I live. Our democrats in no way resemble those in DC. The national dems are scum.

    Another silly, childish, manufactured "controversy" by the little kiddies on the Left---pathetic idiocy, but predictable [snicker].

    Another example of disturbed behavior and hatred by lib-Dems and fringist lefties. Another unprofessional, downright hateful gimmick of course.

    Another cheap and lightweight attack [yawn] by the AP, exhibiting liberal bias and crusader journalism propaganda.

    Journalism? [yawn] Only the childish lefty critics here on TMV and liberal low-lifes elsewhere who reveal an inability to intelligently spot reasonable grounds for real news, consider such reports journalism instead of the lightweight sexism and hateful sleaze it really is. Disgusting.


    Obviously so, but not surprising in the least, given the silliness and pettiness that is so pervasive and predictable among socialist lib-Dems, the lib-Dem media and ObamaCo. No surprise at all [yawn] given that Palin is the object of lefty wrath and more. [chuckle]

    What is also in effect in this case is simple hatred, silliness, immaturity and dysfunctionality on the part of lib-Dems and their militant fringe, pro-abortion, absolutist, socialist, radical cohorts. If it weren't for the leftist hatred it would be merely trivial and annoying.This phenomenon actually has little to do with politics , but has everything to do with leftist hatred of the Religious Right, religion, family values, the church, morals and morality and even puppy dogs and kittens. [gag] This can not be neglected, or worse, ignored.

    Note that this is once again being pushed by fringist leftists, who routinely disgrace and embarrass themselves by choosing to be stupidly obsessed with and inflammatory about a great governor and presidential material.


    What is perhaps more timely is the question, to what extent this low-life attack on our next president is a diversion from the devastating problems lib-Dems and ObamaCo are currently having.

    Stronger, and longer message to follow. [yawn], [snicker] and [gag]

















  • JSpencer
    Somebody call an excorcist, quick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • D. E.Rodriguez
    Don't worry, JSpencer. Just the act of writing this "satire" exorcized me. [Brrrr]
  • why don't you just quit? it worked for sarah!
  • Father_Time
    What are you, nuts?

    Palin has never made sense. I don't know what her political viewpoint is because her comments are vague and incomplete. Basically she just rambles on beating around the bush. It's left up to her publicist to print her speech with periods and commas before I can decipher it.

    My beloved democrats? YOU SAID THAT YOU ARE A DEMOCRAT!

    Maybe you should go converse with Palin and you can mutually confuse the world.
  • Father_Time
    GOOD GRIEF!

    WHAT ON EARTH MOTIVATED YOU WRITE THIS?!

    Oh....I see....it's snark. Even so, maybe you take your temperature and lay down awhile.
  • JSpencer
    Well done! Dead ringer for channeling one of our resident reactionaries. ;-)
  • JeffersonDavis
    Yes, bro.... I am a democrat.
    As I've made clear in the past, the "Democrats" in DC are not MY democrats. I live in a "red" state. I am therefore, a bluedog. So, they (in Washington) are YOUR democrats.
