Palin: Obama Was ‘Arrogant’ to Criticize McCain
I see everyone and their brother/sister got the meme on the word 'arrogant'. They're so predictable they're getting boring. :boring:

Palin: Obama Was ‘Arrogant’ to Criticize McCain
By David Weigel 2/26/10 4:17 PM


In an interview with Sean Hannity on his ABC News radio show, Sarah Palin chastised President Obama for telling Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), during the health care summit, “the campaign is over.”

“Todd and I both saw that,” said Palin, “and we both said, you know, how arrogant for our president to say that.” She called McCain “an American war hero who has sacrificed so much,” arguing that for him “to be dissed like that on national television did not speak well for our president’s character.”

It was about as soft an interview as these exchanges can be. “I like it when you say common-sense conservatism,” said Hannity. “That, to me, means Reagan conservatism.”

2. Sarah, John McCain deserved every bit of that. He made a snide
political speech and he got a response. Both you and he can dish it out but can't take it. You really need to stop wasting everybody's time.

44. What makes McCain a hero?
That he got into the Naval Academy because his dad and granddad were admirals and he managed to graduate at the bottom of his class? In fact he was going to be kicked out until his father interceded. Or maybe because he was a lousy pilot and got shot down and was a prisoner? Perhaps she admires him because when he found out that his wife, who prayed daily for his safe return, was cripple he dumped her and went a whoring? Got to hand it to him; he snagged a rich one that could buy him a seat in congress. I can understand that Palin would admire him. He is the only one who believes that she is qualified to be Vice President of the United States. Well, I am exaggerating. He really doesn't believe that. He was only using the dumb bitch as a last ditch attempt to be elected and that backfired when she proved to be an utterly ignorant hillbilly.

They don't even try to pretend; come on Sarah Barracuda, use the "n" word; your tea bagging supporters will love you for it.

21. It's only a matter of time before one of them cross the "line".
And drop a "N" bomb and it's overhead and recorded somewhere.
You know it's coming and soon.

I'm surprised they don't have a line on this in Vegas.

selected you as a VP candidate. As to Hannity "I like it when you talk dirty" is what he really meant there, I'm sure of it, it was on ABC News radio and all....sigh.

19. "An American War hero who has sacrificed so much"
Edited on Fri Feb-26-10 05:28 PM by karynnj
As far as I am concerned, this falls flat for two reasons:

1) His heroism is not reason to justify everything he does 35 years later.
2) If it did, then Palin and the Republican party owe John Kerry, a war hero, who actually saved people and made good strategic decisions, at least as much respect. So, far, Nixon finding he was a clean cut war hero called on his team "to destroy him" ( This a few years after returning from the war and still hurting from it.) Then, they spent billions in 2004 lying about his serviee record. After that, the Republicans have no right to say anything about respecting heros.
3) Obama did not show a lack of respect. If he did, consider the hundreds of times McCain, in the Seante and out, told Kerry that "elections have consequences". That was, in essence what Obama said. So, if Obama was disrespecting a war hero, McCain set a precedent for it.

26. Republicans are such wusses
Edited on Fri Feb-26-10 06:17 PM by Proud Liberal Dem
They can dish it out but can't take it- then they'll whine endlessly and feign passionate outrage when the Dems actually fight back. I also think that they're probably just not very used to having to deal with a Democratic politician who fights back and exposes them for the frauds that (most of them) are.

It is quite interesting that Palin would be calling Obama "arrogant" on Hannity's show of all places. :eyes:

too bad for him that reputation has followed him from high school, through the Naval Academy and throughout his career. Just because you're a damn war hero doesn't mean you get a free ass pass.

That he chose this stupid, racist, moronic, vacuous and totally worthless, talent twit as his running mate and gave her a free publicity platform from which to spew her hate-filled garbage. She really is a vile, despicable person in every sense of the word

Ditto for Hannity.

43. But its ok if she questions his birthplace.
How well does it speak to her character that she thinks "it's a fair question" to wonder whether the president was born in the United States.

She is a hypocrite of the highest order and she proves just about every time she opens her mouth.

pervasive and crippling cognitive deficits and ethical confusions.

But not 'arrogant.'

49. Palin is like the kid in high school who really wants to hang out
with the cool kids, but doesn't know how to fit in. She's trying hard to be somebody, but will never make it in the national scene of politics as a serious contender. She will be relegated to late night television until people are so sick of her they can't take it anymore.

She has accomplished nothing worthy of admiration or attention.

52. Very possible. Agree definitely that the outdoorsy stuff was meant to
score her points with "independent," or "quite a gal" voters, whoever they are -- neo-survivalists? slave holders? secessionist kooks? the guns-and-God folks?

I have no idea. But I think you are right that whatever comes out of the woman's mouth should prompt close scrutiny.
