More Palin Dismissals From the Huffington Post

November 25, 2009 at 9:08 am · Filed under Opinion Blogs ·Tagged , , , ,

Today it was Ed and Deb Shapiro’s turn to take a whack at belittling Sarah Palin. Their angle was to quote Buddha and compare that to how they see Palin living her life. The article was full of smarmy comments that were simple foolish. Let’s begin:

At the moment Palin is touring the country to promote her book, which has a very large number of words in it, but not all of them are necessarily either true or kind. Nor were her actions particularly kind when hundreds of eager autograph hunters were turned away, despite standing for hours in the rain and cold. All of us have the capacity to be caring and thoughtful, yet it can be so easy to put our own needs above another’s.

The problem is that Palin has thousands of supporters. At every stop. If she was to not stay on schedule she would never be able to leave. The point of a book tour is to see as many people as possible. There will always be people that will be disappointed. Life is harsh that way. Sometimes despite a person’s best effort they won’t be able to say hello to everyone. We all get turned away from people, places or things.

Next!

Going Rogue, the name of Palin’s book and the ideology she professes to adhere to, implies she wants to start a small revolution. Yet, having already ditched the governorship half way through her term, it is difficult to imagine what she wants to revolt against — is it having no governors at all?

Read the book and you will understand why she quit as governor. See, in Alaska if an ethics violation pops up you have to pay for the defense out of your own pocket. She had numerous frivolous ethics charges that she has to fight and pay for. The libtards can dismiss her as a quitter but it was their own doing to try to bog her down in ethics charges that caused her financial hardship and did harm to the State. I wonder what Buddha would say about this? hmmm

It would appear Sarah Palin believes that because she thinks something is right then that makes it right for everyone else as well.

A statement they threw against the wall that they did not back up with facts. I’d like to know what makes these writers believe Palin thinks this.

In the same way, Palin needs to be careful that she is not seduced by the delusion of power that leads to further illusions of grandeur. As this will, in the long run, harm her more than she harms anyone else.

sigh. Palin hasn’t even decided if she wants to run. The libtards continue their attacks and insults that she is not a serious person.

The writers pose the question:

What do you think it would take to make politics kinder and more honest?

I dunno. How about not attacking and insulting someone that you do not agree with. If you have nothing good to say, then keep it to yourself. Buddha might agree with that too.

Huffington Post is Clearly Obsessed With Sarah Palin

November 24, 2009 at 2:34 pm · Filed under Opinion Blogs ·Tagged , ,

I just checked Google to see how many blogs wrote a post about Sarah Palin in the last 24 hours. I guess it wasn’t shocking to see Huffington Post consumed with Sarah Palin. They must have a crush on the woman.

In the last 24 hours Google News/Blogs search shows that HuffPro has written 8 blog posts about Palin. That is more than me and this blog is all about Palin. Expand the search out a week and see just how obsessed with her they really are.

I didn’t know much about Huffington Post before Palin went on her book tour. I knew they were a libtard rag with commentary that I didn’t agree much with on the oft chance I visited. Interesting how bitter so many contributing writers are about Palin.

Huffington Post is Bemused With The Idea of Sarah Palin as President

November 24, 2009 at 2:18 pm · Filed under Opinion Blogs ·Tagged , , ,

Huffington Post continues their round robin attacks on Sarah Palin. Robert J. Elisberg indicates that he is bemused with the fans of Palin. I’m simply embarrassed for these folks that continue to belittle and insult Palion and her supporters. At this point they are looking like fools. More pathetic commentary:

It never ceases to bemuse me when I see people raving about Sarah Palin as their beloved choice for President of the United States. Mayor! Governor! Maverick! It is a response that speaks volumes, not about Ms. Palin, but about her disciples. And what it speaks is not flattering.

Anyone who supports Sarah Palin for President of the United States is blindly and shamelessly willing to overlook reality. It isn’t that Sarah Palin is not remotely qualified by any conception of the human thought process to be president (she’s not), it’s that she has no place even at the table for discussion.

Elisberg is one of the first writers that pretty much bypassed Palin and went straight to insulting her supporters. Is it any wonder why the elites are losing ground politically? They cannot keep up the insults and expect to hold power. The contempt they have for middle Americans is completely transparent at this point. We’ve seen it as they belittle the Tea Parties. They slam Palin and her supporters. They dismiss those that went to the Town Hall meetings. And they continue to fail at every turn.

Elisberg doesn’t think that being a mayor in a small Alaska town is worthwhile. He complains that Plain quit as Governor. He doesn’t think she has any foreign policy experience. Blah, blah, blah. This would all be somewhat credible if the elite’s candidate and our President wasn’t such a joke. Talk about not having experience. At least Palin had executive experience. A couple of years as a Senator and a few years as community organizer clearly isn’t doing the job for Americans with the current President.

Elisberg repeated himself 4 times in his article. To, you know, make the point she isn’t qualified. The only point he could make is that he had nothing of substance to write. This is probably one of the most condescending and insulting pieces of Palin commentary I’ve read.

Why exactly do the elites think you have to have some sort of grand pedigree to be President anyway? We keep electing these clowns with Ivy League educations and they appoint more people with Ivy League educations. Clearly they have no common sense when it comes to financial matters. The regular folks keep telling the clowns to stop spending and they continue to drive us further into debt.

Personally I would prefer someone that was not a member of the Washington elites. We might actually get some common sense restored even if the bureaucracy experience level of the candidate is somewhat dubious. Whether that is Palin or someone else with qualifications the elites do not approve of. Screw them. We see what having “qualified” people are doing to this nation anyway.

Monday Huffington Post Palin Slam – Lame

November 23, 2009 at 8:50 am · Filed under Opinion Blogs ·Tagged , , , , ,

The Huffington Post sure has been spending a lot of time trying to dismiss Sarah Palin. Today it is Deepak Chopra’s turn to give it a try.

Now, however, Palin brings a smile. When she quit her job as governor, it was obvious that someone had whispered in her ear, “You’re fading. Soon you’ll be a nobody. Grab the money while you can.” And so she did, earning a hefty advance, much of which, fittingly, goes to paying off lawsuits related to her ethical violations while in office. The shadow that seemed so dangerous a year ago has been defanged, reduced to spiteful backbiting against the McCain campaign, the very people who gave Pain her spot in the limelight to begin with.

His argument is basically that Palin and the folks that support her are all malcontents. Yea, that’s about all he has. Apparently he is incapable of seeing the bigger picture. The reason Palin is so popular right now, 12 months after her V.P. nom, is that she continues to speak for millions of Americans that are not excited about the liberal agenda. That is what is fueling the support of Palin. She only has to write a single post on Facebook and it changes the whole discussion.

The scary thing for liberals is that she NOT fading. She is getting stronger. Hardly defanged. But I do so love how the libtards continue to disregard what she signifies. Which is a rejection of liberal policies.

Hannity Ratings A Blowout On Palin Interview

November 20, 2009 at 9:45 am · Filed under Media Musings ·Tagged , , , ,

Sean Hannity is happy Sarah Palin dropped by for a visit. His interview with the former governor helped him to his second highest rated show ever. HuffPo reports:

“Hannity” was the top show on cable news Wednesday, averaging 4.200 million total viewers and 1.149 million viewers in the A25-54 demographic.

Of course HuffPo couldn’t leave it there as they had to pit Hannity against O’Reilly. Seems Hannity did the impossible and beat O’Reilly’s numbers. So what.

The real story is that people are turning out to see Palin. The left can divert the story and try to make a rift between the FoxNews neckties, but the real story here is Palin. They just would rather you not see it.

HuffPo’s Bob Cesca Has Contempt for Palin and Supporters

November 19, 2009 at 7:29 am · Filed under Opinion Blogs ·Tagged , ,

Well at least Cesca is honest.

I’m not sure what I have more contempt for. Sarah Palin’s pathological lying or the people who can say with a straight face that Sarah Palin is qualified for anything other than a reality show contestant or the the Edie McClurg role in a remake of Planes, Trains & Automobiles.

The libs continue their sad and pathetic insults against Palin and her supporters. There is no civility left in American journalism. I think she is qualified for many, many things. Maybe not president. Time will tell. But the insults from libtards like Cesca are hilarious. I doubt anyone is shedding tears because a liberal hack says he has contempt for them. I applaud their efforts to destroy their credibility and continue to act like 6th graders.

I find it embarrassing for these journalists, bloggers and commentators when the only thing they can find to write about Palin is to figure out how to one up the other with some smarmy insult. They apparently aren’t smart enough to talk about the issues she brings up. Why is that? Because what she says is true and honest. You can’t mock the truth. So you mock who says it to try to eliminate the message. But guess what? It’s not working. It makes the liberal fringe look like petty idiots and it strengthens Palin and her supporters.

William Bradley of HuffPo Thinks Palin is an Intellectual Lightweight

November 18, 2009 at 2:58 pm · Filed under Opinion Blogs ·Tagged , ,

Does anyone at Huffington Post have anything better to do than figure out a new angle of insults against Sarah Palin? I keep discovering more posts at HuffPo that do their very best at dismissing this woman. The harder they try the more popular she gets. It’s really getting funny. It’s embarrassing and rather pathetic. Here is Bradley giving it his best:

But Palin? I’d scouted her, which amounted to watching a few hours of video footage of her and reading some articles, and she was clearly a totally unqualified, and very vain, intellectual lightweight. And that was being kind. Compared to Palin, George W. Bush belonged on Mount Rushmore.

See, the elites really don’t get it. The reason palin is so popular is because she is like every other person that is not Ivy League educated. She’s like the mom down the street that took 5 years and two schools to graduate. The dad that only knows the government is too big and the debt is too large, so what can we do about it? Average people. She resonates with us. The more she gets hammered the more popular she gets.

These liberal blog writers are crazy if they think their arrogance and smug insults toward Plain is going to matter. It’s all background noise. It’s a humorous diversion. The 1.6 and counting people that bought her book and the people that are coming out in the hundreds if not thousands to see her at book signings really don’t care. The largest audience in two years watched her on Oprah Monday. The libtards have no voice and influence over the phenom that is Palin. Scary as shit for them apparently because they just can’t keep from talking about her.

HuffPo’s Chris Kelly is Glad God Has Ruined Sarah Palin’s Life

November 18, 2009 at 9:59 am · Filed under Opinion Blogs ·Tagged , ,

Chris Kelly is a charming individual. Just one more libtard that continues to make sport of insulting Sarah Palin. Today in the esteemed online journal Huffington Post he writes about Palin’s interview with Rush Limbaugh. He takes issue with Palin’s continued use of the phrase “common sense”.

I know, I know. Some libtards have a tough time understanding what that phrase means. It’s a toughy. He wrote a whole article on her use of it. Seems relevant in this day of utter stupidity in our government but since it was Palin, well, let’s not really discuss the ISSUES she said needed common sense contemplation. Let’s just belittle what she said. Typical.

But no good libtard post on Palin is complete without insulting her. These writers are really embarrassing:

The Oprah and Barbara Walters interviews have been fun, because they mostly just asked her about Levi Johnston, and it’s gratifying that God sent him to ruin her life and save the Republic. (Sometimes God opens a door. And it’s to Bristol’s room.)

Kelly doesn’t even know Palin. He just parrots the libtard party line. He is actually saying it is gratifying that God ruin her life? Really? That’s pathetic.
