Sarah Palin defines 'elitism' for NBC's Brian Williams

[zerogullibility]

Minutes from now the President will call on Congress to place a surtax on those with income of more than 1 million dollars a year. I can't wait to see the corporation-owned Republicans cry bloody murder about this "class warfare" on those who have not shared in any of the current economic struggles.

First enjoy the side show, then watch your "compassionate Christian super-right wingers" lose their jobs the next time their job is up for a vote.

We've all seen this picture before!

[GTCism]

There is I suspect a few levels to elitism but, mostly I would suggest that elitism is a state of mind. A state of mind I might add, that is contrary to the will of God, in fact elitism crucified Jesus, in addition, a state of mind that is contrary to our good health as a species. I would suggest that elitism is a state of mind that should be exposed at every opportunity as a state that is NOT appealing for a human being to find them selves in or seek after. Elitism sister is arrogance.

[pFhUCKpFhACE]

BWAAAHAhahahahaha!!! Oh, man...she is just so damn entertaining...haha...and I love how she wasn't allowed to go anywhere without her dad, John McCain, after the Couric interview.

haha...no wonder Palin doesn't like the 'lamestream media' - they always ask such *tough* questions... ;-p

McCain is like... "holy shit, not again" LMFAO

[phxflyguy]

McCain looks so embarrassed here. He's a good guy but should have never run. Picking her as his running mate was mistake #1. Allowing people to script his campaign so he came across as a complete jackass, mistake #10000. You've always been a good guy, John. I could see it in your eyes that you weren't happy with all went down. Sorry to say, but if you can be pushed around that much by your campaign managers, you wouldn't do well as a president. Still respect you, though.

[discipleoftheteapot]

Elite is:

A pilot who thinks he's more qualified to fly than you because he has "training"

A Doctor who thinks he's qualified to diagnose because he went to some snooty liberal college

A politician who thinks they are more qualified to lead than sarah palin because they have a basic understanding of politics, geography, science and economics

[Tehmutednoob]

Hey i think i'm better then you, does that make me a elite?

[baldurus1]

Palin just described every republican ever.

[TheFilmCredits3]

And let me explain to you how Palin makes her cash: REALLY dumb racists give her money on FoKKKs, just so long as she keeps insulting those who have a higher education. than she has. Which is about half the population.

And yes, SURE we ARE better than you, bitch. We can think. We care for the weak. You take it up the ass from the high and mighty, you love it, and then you shoot a poor defenseless moose for political gain, which you won't even gain, so that reindeer died in .... vain!!

[TheFilmCredits3]

Hey! Palin thinks she's Elite, she just admitted it! You can REALLY see that SHE thinks she is sooo much better than us. Shes really like ooh I'm a millionaire selling my ass so who needs an education? Yep. Yep. you know who also thinks EXACTLY LIKE THAT?? Hookers AND drug dealers. I'm a cop, I know.

[kaneblues]

Depending on which side of the political street you're standing on, the elites are defined quite differentl­y. While the populist rage on the left is largely directed at the wealthy, the populist rage on the right is largely directed towards the educated.

Enter Sarah Palin; the antithesis of the educated.

[exsinor]

See the latest Palin family news....redefine "elite"

[ArchhereticK]

Wow, she makes Mc Cain sound so..............eloquent, by comparison.

[mboundtogether]

did he just say our nation's capital is nyc?

[Zentz29]

@mboundtogether That's what I was thinking. I can't tell if he said "in our nations capitol IN NYC" or " in our nations capitol AND NYC"...

[kingaj100]

Oh gee golly Mrs. Palin, lets just role up our sleeves and get the job done and such! LOLZ

[SuperHappyPuppy]

I think I'm better than Sarah Palin; does that make me an elitist?

[hipstermi]

I think it's elitism for a political party to tell a group of Americans they can't marry just because they are gay. And coming from a coozehound like McCain. Isn't affairs and divorce against Jeebuz? Why aren't Christians pushing for guys like him to never remarry?

[isieAB]

aren't all three of them members of the elite?

[BobCassidy]

And then she goes and says that America is greatest country in the world....... Horrible, silly cunt.

[afferch]

Brian Williams is an elitist.

[HeshimaJameni]

You want to serve only the hardworking midde class americans? Isn't that elitism? So there is no such thing as hardworking low class americans?

[SteveAndIdiAmin]

I've flushed away things smarter and better than Brian Williams.

[afferch]

Anyone who thinks they are better and smarter than most. Brian Williams!

[CarlaLR74]

John, who are you kidding, your wife is an elitist.

[BellaGoth12]

It was McRage who bought the money and geography up.

Wow, there is still some republicans(IA) still crying and shaking over the election. LOL. I like how certain crybabies love to throw the 'elties word' around yet argue that Obama is not fit to rule because he's Muslim and a foreigner.

[SteveAndIdiAmin]

Yeah. I need Rush Limbaugh--who lives and works on a compound on Florida's Gold Coast--to define elitism for me.

The lack of self-awareness on the part of Republicans and GOP-enablers is towering. I wish we could harness it as a form of energy.

[jawneblaize]

But...what if my God, IS, better than your God?? hehehe...just kidding. Excellent post!

[IntellectualAddict]

Brian Williams doesn't get it. He's one of them.

[BellaGoth12]

To quote Senator Chuck Schumer-"Men in Gucci shoes who have seven glass houses should not cast stones."

Oh yeah, the U.S. zip code that's given the most to the McCain campaign - $909,128 - is Manhattan's 10021, which includes a swath of Park Ave. So talk about biting the hand that feeds it.

[BellaGoth12]

To the person who gave me a poor comment: THANKS. How can McCain bitch about New Yorkers being elitists when his own wife wears a $300,000 suit?

[IntellectualAddict]

Both you and Schmucky Schumer just don't get it. Palin said it herself. Being an Elitist has nothing to do with how much money you have.

Those who think everything revolves around how much money someone has are called "Marxists." You and Schumer are Marxists.

[guudcadee]

Strange America! You guys produced the most educated people in the world, and built bigest educational institutions which you are of course proud of, and then you despise those who graduate from them and labelled them 'elitist'. Elitist is not someone who thinks he's bigger and better than rest.

[IntellectualAddict]

"you despise those who graduate from them and labelled them 'elitist'. Elitist is not someone who thinks he's bigger and better than rest"

Palin said it herself. It doesn't matter how much money you have or where you went to school. It's deeply held beliefs that you're better than everyone else, that everyone else are merely there for you to rule over, etc.. That's "elitism" or "elitist."

Being "elite" amongst a group is subjective, and a different use of the word.

[greatinnumbers]

Elitists have their own definition, I have mine. Wine and Dine with the rich Class. Buy enough gold and diamonds to look like an upper class. Play dress up like a wealthy class. talk like you are on top of the class. Live like Kings and Queens in America, and tax the working class. Work and get paid by Charitable Organizations and have no class. Work long hours and make big money and slave drive people, under you, paying them less money. Taxing people out of Life.

[kurdatheist]

I am glad they lost... Palin is really dumb..

[Panglos]

I wonder how relatives of people who were killed on 9/11 feel about what John McCain really thinks about people from New York.

[IntellectualAddict]

"what John McCain really thinks about people from New York"

He didn't say all New Yorkers were elitists. He said many elitists live in New York.

Did you leave your brain at home?

[GrandmaGinnie]

@IntellectualAddict:

Here's someone who refers to himself as an "Intellectual", and shows disdain toward the brains of people whose background he doesn't know...while decrying "deeply held beliefs that you're better than everyone else".

Seems like there's something wrong with this picture, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

[IntellectualAddict]

"refers to himself as an "Intellectual"

Actually I refer to myself as an addict.

"shows disdain toward the brains"

I don't condemn people's brain power, only what they do with it. And what's wrong with that?

"while decrying"

And what's wrong with that? Do you personally like people who think they're better than everyone else, including yourself?

"can't quite put my finger on it"

Not surprising, you can't even check someone's Channel to find out more about them.

[siroos7]

and Philchacko, there is a Georgetown in NY State, 33 miles from Syracuse! LOLOL

I doubt Mccain even knows that!

Dumb and Dumber!

[siroos7]

Did he say just say that he lived in the "nation's capital New York City"??!!!!!!

[Labellyy]

I never said I agreed with everything in the Democratic ideology. I don't believe Obama is a 'socialist', but I probably would be brainwashed to believing that if I listened to Limbaugh, Hannity, and O'Really. Thank you for your intellectual insight into Karl Marx, I didn't know who he was. You study and support the literature though? Wouldn't you be for Communism?

By the way, since the Right has hijacked religion so well, wouldn't Jesus have been a socialist? Therefore, a Democrat?

[Labellyy]

Sooo, by the oh so often hypocritical Republican logic, pretty much every Republican is an elitist. Republican ideology says that, America, as the self-anointed "greatest country in the history of ever" should be allowed to go around the world, ie Iraq, and tell people how they should live their lives. Isn't that thinking you're "better than someone else"?

[sprego1688]

Thats funny...Democrats support goverment control and obama is a socialist....Wow yea talk bout tellin people how to live their lives....You really want the government telling you what to do?...sure vote obama real smart...sumone who studied and supports marxist literature...and to educate u thats communism literature. But hey OBAMA for change! sounds like chavez,hitler, and castro...all were socialists that became communists...Always shut liberals up with facts and logic...

[MickMan211]

@sprego1688 hitler never became communist..maybe its your facts and logic which are flawed

[rossrosskenny]

Palin says it has nothing to do with geography. McCain quickly adds that elitists live in New York and Washington...What a team! I personally think it has more to do with clothes. What can be more elitist than wearing a Valentino jacket plus $400 glasses to give an acceptance speech at the Republican convention. Yeah, that's really down home. Give us a break already with this nonsense.

[paulpembroke]

Sarah Palin= $150,000 in wardrobe expenses

[jetford]

sooo true! turn on Fox News any day of the week - you'll see a bunch of well paid haters doing their elite thing.

[Grendelmonster8u]

What Palin is describing is a snob - elite isn't necessarily a bad thing unless you look down upon others.

McCain who has been well-off all his life, married a rich man's daughter, has attended those DC cocktail parties for over 20 years, and thinks being rich is making $5 million or more. Sure sounds like he's in touch with the middle-class!

He looks frustrated with her rambling nonsense answers. I have no pity for him though. Kay Bailey Hutchinson would have been a better pick.

[philchacko]

Georgetown is in DC not NY city. God, Senior McCain needs a nap and the clueless nut should go back to Alaska.

[tanio12]

So what does that make Mccain since he is married to a millionaire. Also if Palin had a private plane and sold it(granted she took a loss)what does that make her? Also are you not suppose to have any confidence in your abilities or self?

[hollygolightly66]

What the hell is wrong with being elite? Shouldn't everyone aspire to being elite? Aren't the special forces called elite? Where you live necessrily defines your attitude? Wow these people are idiots.

[brumac44]

Is this for real? What happened to John? Gotta say tho, regardless of what comes out of her mouth, that is one hot cougar.

[flatRocket]

:) members of the elite lurking their ugly heads in this section alright! :)

[beachwriter429]

Seriously, her sentence construction is so weird.

[applaya]

I am so desiring of this economy getting better.

[droppin88]

god damn she is so fuckin retarded........only an idiot will vote for them two dumbasses.
