Sarah Palin busted re Dr. Laura rant

Tonight the Red Phone is ringing for Sarah Palin.

............................

So the word in question here is "Ni--er" and Sarah Palin apparently does not have a problem with Dr. Laura's use of that word. In fact - she advises her to "reload" - whatever the hell that means in this context! (I'm sure Palin has no thought of shifting the Overton Window to the extreme right on the racism issue - Heaven's no! That never would have occurred to Sarah - she's only concerned about Free Speech! Right...)

Anyway - "Ni--ger" ok but "Retarded" - not ok:

Former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin posted a note on her Facebook page late Monday calling for President Obama to fire his Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel for comments he made that she said were offensive to children with developmental disabilities.

In the Facebook posting entitled “Are You Capable of Decency, Rahm Emanuel?,” Palin called for his firing for comments attributed to him in a Jan. 26 Wall Street Journal article where he called plans by liberal groups to run ads against moderate Democrats "F—ing retarded."

But then Palin's posting went on to say this:

“Just as we’d be appalled if any public figure of Rahm’s stature ever used the “N-word” or other such inappropriate language, Rahm’s slur on all God’s children with cognitive and developmental disabilities – and the people who love them – is unacceptable, and it’s heartbreaking,” the post continued.

Sarah, we have a problem. Here you are in February of 2010 writing that the N-word is inappropriate from a public figure. And then in August 2010 you're cheering Dr. Laura on when she uses the N-word multiple times.

1. But see, in Sarah's reality...

logic never applies.

[xultar]

2. The ignorant media whore has been quiet since her hypocrisy was uncovered

Again....

I wonder if she realizes what the fuck she did? I'm sure shell come up with some long winded FB post blaming the lamestream media or bullshit to that effect.

[DeSwiss]

3. K&R n/t

[Contrary1]

4. "Steps aside bc her 1st Amend.rights ceased 2exist"

Too ignorant for words.

[fishwax]

5. or, in palinspeak

2 ignrnt 4 wrds lol kthxbai

[KamaAina]

6. She could have been such a good advocate for people with developmental disabilities

then again, Bush** could have shown even the slightest bit of leadership after 9/11, and that would have been the end of the "professional left", for at least a generation.

EPIC FAIL. Both of them.

7. How Sarah Palin EVER gets taken seriously...

...is one of the saddest things I've ever seen in this country.

She is a complete nimrod. She's shamefully stupid.

She's a complete embarrassment.

[Enthusiast]

12. People can only evaluate Palin

from their individual perspective. And millions have a very stunted perspective. Her supporters found nothing wrong when she said "If Putin would rear his head." She sounds well informed and logical to her fans. "She sounds smart to me."

[malaise]

13. +1,000

That's the absolute truth.

[sfwriter]

8. She is the kind of neighbor I'd sell my house to get away from.

[pamela]

9. She even looks like the Donnie Darko neighbor from hell...

[Loudmxr]

10. This is an example of "Conservatives their words and their words and their actions don't match."

This is because they are Amoral theocratic authoritarians. They are not hypocrites. They do not have the moral basis to be hypocrites.

This is why I don't trust them.

[swimboy]

22. An important and remarkable distinction.

Thank you.

:thumbsup:

[Enthusiast]

11. How is Palin any different

than the rest of the Reich Wing crowd? They are all hypocrites.

[JBoy]

14. This will occur at an increasing rate with Palin.

The internet does not forget, and it will become easier and easier to point to evidence of her own hypocrisy.

Eventually it will reach a point where she can say nothing without contradicting something she has said in the past.

[howmad1]

15. So let's see; she's worth, what - $10, $15, $20 million?

Keep calling her names while she trots off to the bank every couple of days. Building up a campaign warchest to entice every numbskull in the dumbest country on the planet to vote for her as the next president of this good old US of A. Yea, she's a dumbass alright.
Wish some democrats were as stupid as her. Wait a minute, there probably are a few.

[pezDispenser]

25. I doubt she will run for POTUS

but I could be wrong. We should all be outraged she has made herself a millionaire off of her stupidity. Any level of respect I had for McCain has now gone out the window for introducing the nation to this person.

[Atticus]

16. "Well, golly! Ya' just gotta keep fightin' for our rights as Americans to set our own course!

It's not bad enough that this socialist administration wants us to support youth in Asia, they would deny us our rights as Christian Americans to support our own youth---and our grandparents. Not standin' 'em up in front of death panels!

And, so, if Dr. Laura wants to reclaim her God-given right to free speech, she needs to "grizzly up" and reload! You betcha!"

("Is the camera off? How much am I getting paid for that? Where is my Evian with lime? Can we shop for clothes now?")

17. Ignorance is her reality.......

doncha kno???

[Anakin Skywalker]

18. It Only Offends Sister Saint Sarah If It Hits Close to Home!

This woman is one of the absolute most selfish, inconsiderate, heartless person out there!

[syberlion]

19. As long as the Media is controlled by the corporations

This is what we are going to see. She is the Britney Spears of politics, she is Paris Hilton, Mel Gibson and the Octo-mom combined. What do all those people have in common? They sell. With profit oriented corporations in charge, the news is dead and what sells is the zombie, Frankenstein clawing to eat all our brains. No brains left? Much easier to vote against your own interests then...

This media masking is the worst in human history and until the strangle-hold is broken, it's only going to get worse. The public airwaves must be rested from the hands of Murdock, oh let him have a public access show, since that's the level of insanity he promotes, but news was NEVER supposed to make money. News is just that, news. There is no left, no right, just the facts and not some slanted view of an event.

Journalism used to be Who, What, Where, When and Why. Not who benefits if we tell this story, what is our advertising revenue from the principles of this story, where is marketing value of telling this story, when can we get this story out there and why hasn't anyone called our CEO to clear this story? That's the problem in this country today.

Corporations are not just literally running the show, they are the show. This is the modern era of bread and circuses. We are witnessing the greatest magic show, only it is a country being disappeared right in front of your eyes. It is amazing the level of sophisticated slight-of-hand we are watching on a daily basis. Sarah, she's just a mere side-show. She's not even the main attraction any more. Considering these corporations have "disappeared" 75% of the oil spill in the Gulf, said out of work Americans is good for the economy, made community organizing a bad thing, collective bargaining bad for American workers, Social Security bad for our elderly, medicare evil, and I could go on and on, but you know all this.

We have small voices. We are disorganized and will remain so because the corporations want it that way. Why? Because, even with our small voices, there are more of us then there are of them. Their biggest fear is we get organized. Going to get biblical for just a sentence, the walls of Jericho came tumbling down with just a mass of sound. Why do you think the corporations bombard us every stinking day with Beck, Hannity, Limbaugh and Palin? They are putting up a wall to protect themselves and their interests.

It's time to knock that wall down, it's time to demand the news again, it's time to dismantle corporations. They are not people and therefore do not have more rights then I do as a living, breathing, voting person of this country. It's time to get rid of any corporatist in the House and the Senate and vote back representatives that will represent people not corporations!

Sarah, you can have your say and be in the section called "News of the Weird" where you belong...

[The_Commonist]

20. You are right. And the way to do that...

...is to stop giving them your money.
Corporations exist to take your money.
Stop giving it to them.
Stop giving your eyeballs to their advertisers.
Stop typing the words "Sarah Palin" onto internet discussion forums where Google Analytics picks them up and decides that you like those words.
Feed the beast and it will eventually devour you.
Starve the beast and it will eventually wither...

[lunatica]

21. Sarah Palin belches crudely and the country goes into a tailspin

She controls the dialog. From death panels to mosques on ground zero open wounds to drill baby drill to ya betcha there also she tosses out her word salad and the media kneejerk. It's becoming positively Pavlovian. She opens her mouth and Americans drool on themselves.

[thereismore]

23. Heartbreaking? Sarah, you have no heart to worry about. nt

[Xenotime]

24. Dr. Laura can't control her mouth. That's why people are using muslim to replace ni--er
