Sarah Palin Runs Over Rolling Thunder

WASHINGTON — One day after Sarah Palin announced her bus tour, a group sponsoring a Memorial Day weekend event she plans to attend said they never invited her.

“She wasn’t invited. We heard yesterday she came out with a press release she was coming to Rolling Thunder,” Ted Shpak, national legislative director of Rolling Thunder, told “Andrea Mitchell Reports.” Shpak is one of three members of Rolling Thunder’s current leadership who says he had no idea Palin was coming until it was posted on her website.

On Thursday, the former governor of Alaska and potential GOP presidential candidate announced her bus tour on her political action committee’s website, Sarahpac.com. The tour is to begin in Washington, D.C., where Palin plans to participate in the Sunday motorcycle rally sponsored by Rolling Thunder Inc., a group that raises awareness of prisoners of war and those missing in action.

“She’s not invited to speak. We’re not endorsing her … (but) we can’t stop her from coming to ride, if she wants to ride,” Shpak continued.

Organizers of Rolling Thunder say their guest speakers are Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Palin’s representatives say they were invited to Rolling Thunder – by a former board member who is emceeing the event.

Mike DePaulo tells NBC News he had a standing offer for her to ride with them from the Pentagon across the bridge to D.C. – and that he got a call from what he called “the Palin campaign” on Wednesday to see if they could take him up on it. He coordinated it with a friend of his, Joe Fields, of the Alaska Veterans’ Advisory Council, who had worked with Palin when she was governor.

A spokeswoman for Rolling Thunder says they frequently invite celebrity guests to ride with them.

DePaulo says he has a permit for the Palin bus to be parked on Henry Bacon Drive near the Lincoln Memorial. He acknowledges he didnt tell current leaders of the organization that she was coming, since they were already on the road.

When asked if Palin’s bus will be participating in the event, Shpak of Rolling Thunder Inc. responded, “Absolutely not.”

Shpak says Palin’s attendance “is a big distraction” and that his “phone has been ringing off the hook” ever since she announced her intention to attend the event.

“We’re not political. This is not a political event … Maybe she’s coming because she knows we have a half a million people in town and thinking she can start her ?” stated Shpak.

“We’re taking care of our issues and that’s why we’re here.”

SarahNet.net, a site dedicated to Sarah Palin reports the opposite and claims”Rolling Thunder Riders Praise Sarah Palin’s Participation in Rally“ and calls Shpak a liar.

And so it goes with Sarah Palin, a polarizing force.

1. Party Crasher (R)

This is such a typical RepubliBagger FAIL stunt. Show up where you're not wanted, pimp crap nobody wants, then shove the degenerate crud down everyone's throat anyway.

Sarah Pale Horse (R) is no honest friend of America's veterans. She is a Shallow Showboating Grifter Party Crasher (R).

2. I expect her whole "campaign" to be as clusterfucky as this.

Delightful.

3. The use of Rolling Thunder Riders. Without correcting what should be corrected

Must be answered with grievous action, if not used to correct what should be corrected.

And I am still due beer and travel money and many experiences.

4. How long - O Lord - must he wait?

A friendly visual clue, RT, just to remind you what you are not getting. Suck it up and hang in there, buddy.

9. The best response would be, I understand your humor :)

And you will remember this moment some day in the future, may you find some peace at that time.

:hug:

7. Rolling Thunder, Random Thoughts, and Radiation Therapy all have the same initials.

Just a random thought.

I, too, am due beer and travel money and many experiences.

10. As do Religion and Theology. And I agree many are due beer and travel money.

But mostly, my name is Robert Eastwood.

Robe RT.


Actually that was already posted wasn't it. So I already answered your question before you asked it.

15. Sometimes, in my head, I pronounce RT as 'art'

but only when I want to be pretentious. hahahahaha.

5. She'll use anything, her children, and now a POW and MIA crowd. Sick.

6. This reminds me of the Tea Party rally on the anniversary of

Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech.

Palin and Beck are so full of hate that they feel the need to contaminate every healing event into a hatefest.

8. Palin wants to be the bride at every wedding,

and the corpse at every funeral.

Can you imagine how soul-killing it must be living with such a shallow person?

11. OK. I know this sounds silly - but I was watching a rerun

of "The Sopranos" when Dr. Melfi reads the description from her psychologist's text to Tony of what a borderline personality is (he believes his mother might have Alzheimer's or dementia - Melfi believes she is a borderline personality). The description is pure Palin. The world exists only as she sees it. The ability to form true bonds with other people doesn't exist. The borderline personality has no empathy and manipulates others for personal gain. Even Richard Ailes can't tell Palin what to do - she knows better than anyone else. Always. The McCain campaign couldn't get her to study - or shut up. She demanded the stage on election eve - when it was time for the concession speech. Even though the VP candidate doesn't give the concession. Palin batters everyone who comes in contact and won't take advice. She doesn't need to - she already knows everything.

12. This is just shameful. I saw that gentleman on AM yesterday morning and he was visibly pissed. This

woman is and will always be a self-promoting crazy person. Not that we didn't know this already...

[Raschel]

13. Will anyone on TV call her out for trying to pretend this crowd is there for her?

[mrs_p]

14. she is so low

it's always about her

:puke:
