Sarah Palin is not amused by people making donations to Planned Parenthood in her name.

[proud2BlibKansan]

February 11, 2009, Juneau, Alaska - Governor Sarah Palin today issued the following statement in response to reports that contributions are being made to Planned Parenthood in her name:

“The abortion issue has been with us for decades and has pitted well-meaning people of differing ideologies against each other. Where we can find common ground is in the belief that no one wants a single abortion.

“But when there is a clash of values, I always will come down on the side of life. Making donations to Planned Parenthood in my name might be interesting theater in these politically charged times, but it is not going to change my views or the views of many other Alaskans who believe every life is precious.

“Anti-hunting groups are employing the same tactic of using my name to promote their cause right now. Again, interesting theater.”

1. also, too.

[Beetwasher]

2. LOL! By Mentioning It, She Just Guaranteed A Whole New Slew Of Donations In Her Name

I hope she gets a little card every time it's done, also, too! :rofl:

I had no idea this was even happening. Time to donate!

[proud2BlibKansan]

5. Oh yeah it was posted here and lots of other places back in October

And yes, she gets a little card every time someone donates in her name :)

[orleans]

61. so if someone donated to DU in her name would she get

one of those rad bumper stickers?

[Lochloosa]

64. orleans you should start a thread with that idea. I'll promise to be one of the first.

[proud2BlibKansan]

65. LOL

I think you have to donate in a member's name.

[4 t 4]

85. great bumper stickers have one on my car

very pround to have it

[JerseygirlCT]

46. Oh, I think she knows that, and that's why she mentioned it

To Palin, any PR is good PR.

I just wish I knew how long her 15 minutes was really going to last. I'm so weary of her!

[tridim]

3. But she's very amused watching a wolf die from 200 feet.

[proud2BlibKansan]

7. Excellent point

:toast:

[stuntcat]

21. EXACTLY

and WHO CARES about habitats? DRILL baby DRILL.

"His Image" my ass.

[DebbieCDC]

4. Oh yeah I'm sure those are her words (after staff translation)

Yep, y'know, by golly, gee, wow, those anti-merkins at Planned Parenthood are using my name, you betcha.

I hope Planned Parenthood raises millions off of this campaign. I sent them a contribution myself.

[gollygee]

6. ROFL! Well I'm amused anyway.

:D

[tekisui]

8. Time to donate again.

[XemaSab]

23. +1

:patriot:

[DesertRat]

9. She must being going to hell

[Chorophyll]

10. In what sense, Charlie?

Well somebody had to say it. :)

[peace13]

13. LOL!

Boy, I needed that! :)

[tblue37]

39. In what respect, Charlie?

Those immortal words must be captured verbatim for posterity.

[Chorophyll]

69. Oh poop. You're correct.

I had my very own Sarah Palin moment, I guess, also too, over there.



MAVERICK!

[tblue37]

73. You betcha! nt

[peace13]

11. I can tell you that it was the best $50 I ever spent.

What kills me is that people think that Planned Parenthood is only about abortions. It is about preventing abortions, providing health care and empowering women. How much better does it get? Thanks for posting this we will have to get another donation off in Sarah's name. Now that we know she cares! Peace and love, kim

[MADem]

12. It is pretty interesting theater---and by griping, she's adding another act to the play.

She's also likely encouraging contrarians and rabble-rousers to make more donations in her name, just to piss her off a bit more.

Turn out the lights, Sarah, the party's over.

[Deja Q]

14. What if Levi knocked up a moose instead of her daughter?

[KamaAina]

47. Wasilla, where men are men...

...and moose are nervous. :P

[Joe Bacon]

67. Even this one?????????????????????????

[KamaAina]

77. If memory serves, he's from Frostbite Falls

where everyone wears Wrangler or Lee. Not Levi's. :P

[Joe Bacon]

79. I LOVE THAT!

I got to steal that punch line!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tularetom]

15. I've been away - had no idea this was the topic du jour of the day

Apparently this has been discussed at length complete with references to every life being precious unless it can be seen from a helicopter and sperms from "The Meaning of Life".

Sorry I missed out.

What a frickin hip-o-crit she is.

[Snarkoleptic]

16. Hearing her comments maked me donate at-

[peace13]

19. Thank you for posting this.

Done!

[Pastiche423]

60. Merci, Gracias and Thank you!

That was fun and for a good cause!

[Blue_In_AK]

17. Sarah's press conference was a train wreck.

If you're interested (and I can't imagine why you would be), you can watch the whole thing here: http://community.adn.com/adn/node/137942

Shannyn Moore has excellent commentary here, "Sarah Palin Wishes Herself a Happy Birthday Press Conference...Also": http://shannynmoore.wordpress.com/2009/02/11/sarah-palin-wishes-herself-a-happy-birthday-press-conferencealso/

[GentryDixon]

18. She did not pen this statement.

It sounds too cognizant.

I was one of the donors for Ms Sarah.

[NV Whino]

20. Tough shit, Sarah

I'm going to dig up some money somewhere and renew my membership. Donation in Sarah's name, of course.

[FirstLight]

22. A contridiction in terms...

she says she will always come down on the side of life...and yet anti-HUNTING groups are also donating in her name...
ironic or just plain stupid. :grr:

[KG]

24. bwahahaha!

:rofl:

[Bluenorthwest]

25. Interesting Theater

Is the best thing! I pay top dollar for it!

[Soylent Brice]

26. Sarah who?

FADE AWAY. PLEASE.

[sutz12]

27. Well, since your background is in entertainment...

as a beauty pageant contestant and a sportscaster, we thought some "interesting theater" was apropos.

Thnks for your donation, Caribou Barbie.

[pipi_k]

28. Oh wow, what an arrogant little shit she is...

She thinks she's the only person in the whole world named "Sarah Palin"????




:evilgrin:

[Raine]

29. aw booooooooooo hooooooooooooo

:rofl:

[proud patriot]

30. LOL best protest ever

:applause:

[spanone]

31. good, i just made another

[mitchum]

32. That inarticulate snowbilly grifter didn't write that, ya betcha!

[pipi_k]

33. Actually, Trig wrote it for her...

It would have been even more coherent and articulate but he was pressed for time that day


:7

[mitchum]

34. I think it would be more pointed to make the donation in her daughter's name

but I a mean sonofabitch

[Spazito]

35. LOL, a great way to protest her, love it! n/t

[Solly Mack]

36. She has to have a calendar of "Things to do or say to stay in the press"

[blonndee]

37. Dangit, I wish I had a little to spare to donate in her name.

Just for this latest publicity-seeking statement.

[Kansas Wyatt]

38. And the next Democrat to run against her....

Should run attack commercials showing how much Sarah Palin has donated to Planned Parenthood and anti-hunting groups. It will cause confusion within her base and sink her chances of winning any elected office outside of Alaska. It will also cause severe paranoia within her republican base, to the extent that the right wing nuts won't know who and who not to rely on.

[FatDave]

40. Wait, people are donating to PP in Palin's name?

What a great idea! Thanks for pointing it out to me, Sarah!

I wonder if it would also work with the ACLU....

[Thickasabrick]

41. What a great idea. I need to make a donation. Thanks for the

heads up!!

[rucky]

42. Memo to Palin: We don't care about changing your views

we're only interested in ridiculing them.

[Bryn]

43. Someone wrote this for her

She is not intelligent enough to use those words, not intelligent enough to understand that wolves, polar bears and other majestic animals have a right to live here on Earth, too and be protected.

[the_chinuk]

44. No, love, it's about mocking you.

if you were really concerned about "life", you'd make a world that it wasn't dangerous and hazardous to have a kid in.

But you don't. You just oppose "abortion" because your pastor told you do.

You are useless as a human, and the mockery is just what you deserve.

Suck it up, cupcake.

[20score]

45. I'm very amused by it though.

[Cetacea]

48. Someone should donate using the French presidents name

As well as the Canadian Prime Minister.

[peace13]

49. I love this post so much, i tried to recommend it twice!

Kick to share the love

[Triana]

50. GOOD. I'll be sure to make some more donations to PP in her name then. Thanks. n/t

59. How very AOL message boards of you. (n/t)

[8 track mind]

52. You ARE interesting theater, Mrs. Wolf Blaster. n/t

[TahitiNut]

53. Maybe she'd prefer they be made in her daughter's name? Or Nadya Sulemon's name?

Such a conundrum. :dunce:

[seabeyond]

54. so the life doesnt take priority over being born in texas though. that is just over the line

better to have water break at 4am, wait for a luncheon and speech, get on a plane and travel for hours nad hours, drive to a small town in alaska to have the baby.

[Cerridwen]

55. " no one wants a single abortion." Two words: ectopic pregnancy. n/t

[eridani]

62. Well, for sure nobody wants an ectopic pregnancy

If there were none, no one would need an abortion to stay alive under those conditions.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

56. LMFAO!!! That Is An Awesome Idea Whoever Came Up With It! Think I'm Gonna Have To Do It!

:rofl:

[bvar22]

57. Good. This will produce a SURGE in donations.

Thanks, Sarah, for the free publicity.

[Blue_In_AK]

58. Since you guys brought her up again,

here's the latest gossip from The Immoral Minority. http://theimmoralminority.blogspot.com/2009/02/question-of-hour.html

Question of the Hour...

Why is Greta Van Susteren in Alaska?

And who is she set up to interview in the Ann Stevens room at the Loussac Library in Anchorage?

Stay tuned for the answers. (Damn I cannot believe I have to watch FOX News tonight!)

Update: According to Susteren's blog she is visiting in Anchorage and then heading up to Fairbanks. Isn't that interesting? Isn't Fairbanks the final destination of the Iron Dog Snowmobile Race? I do believe that it is.

I also just saw a teaser which explains everything. According to what I just saw Greta is going to interview Governor Sarah, Todd Palin, and Bristol Palin.

Bristol Palin? OMFG!

Yep, according to FOX News Greta is going to ask Bristol how she feels about being a teenage mother. Well now that is very interesting.

This can only be Palin's attempt to finally put an end to the rumors swirling around about the lack of a Tripp Palin sighting. Does this mean that we will finally get a chance to see the latest family addition? I guess we will have to wait and see.

From the rumors I have heard I am not sure how they will pull this off.

[TWiley]

63. I made my first donation today .... and a thank you card to Sara Palin

I have not had this much fun since I sent the shrub a box of pretzles.

[Vickers]

66. But her amusement is so IMPORTANT to me!!!

:rofl:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

68. Brilliant.

Now, someone donate in her name to PETA.
Duckie

[Joanne98]

70. HAHAHA!

[Strong Atheist]

71. She's not amused? Too bad. K&r. nt.

[prostock69]

72. She has received 46,000 postcards! PP has received $1,000,000 in her name. PRICELESS!!!

[norepubsin08]

74. I love it

I'll have to do that!!!

[saltpoint]

75. Well, Governor, the take-away here OUGHT to be your cluelessness

on reproductive freedom and other issues.

"The patient appears to lack insight into her own inventory of resentments."

[Blue_In_AK]

78. Dang - it was hard to find you,

"poster formerly known as Old Crusoe." Have a heart. :)

[saltpoint]

81. Hi there, you up-north class act, you.

I hope the political destiny of your state gives you a governor more worthy of your sensibilities instead of the governor you have now and don't deserve.

Thank you, and all the true good stuff to you & yours.

[Bertha Venation]

76. Who gives a shit?

And does she really think that people think SHE wrote that statement? :eyes:

[lunatica]

80. Was a donor trying to amuse her?

Methinks she not being amused is what people want. Maybe it'll dawn on her that she's hurting herself and her party and her followers by her endless craving for attention.
