  • She never said she saw it, she said Russia can be seen from Alaska. Nome is not the nearest city, Tin City is west of Nome, and its closer than Nome. How many listeners know that. You can see Russia from Tin City, Mainland to Mainland. CNN is so full of it.

  • fuk CNN and any body who beloved their leftist commie lip service

  • How can she even be given air time in the first place for f*ck sake. Only in the US such things happens, unf*ckin believable.

  • As a libertarian who gave up on the GOP but did support them, I can say that if Palin was a man, her whole act would never have flown. Let's be honest, her being an attractive woman is her lone selling point. Sadly, her grassroots support among the Freeper types is totally cultic. Similar to how Obama's supporters are largely zombies. I don't understand how anyone with a living brain can buy into this two party bullshit theater.

  • Это Русская земля.

  • Adding to prev. post:

    In her 'famous' interview Palin said: "You can actually see Russia from LAND, here in Alaska", no islands mentioned. She said LAND. If you don't trust me go watch the interview!

  • @Travmapunk Holy fuck you're an over analytical dick. I'm pretty sure the ground on island is called land, if not holy shit I've been confused as hell for my whole life.

  • @avaiae Suck a dick. You're too stupid to even talk with you. The only fact that you're Palin's fanboy says A LOT!!))

    And yes, you are, otherwise you wouldn't get so mad about simple comment on YouTube, twat))

  • @Travmapunk The fact that you use only half of your parenthesis says a lot. I am not her fan boy, I'm just saying you're being a huge dick. How did you justify that and island wasn't land? I'm pretty sure land is anything not covered by water, there for islands= land! I mean seriously the fact that you over read things just to justify it in your own mind says A LOT!! And I got so mad because I think if you read into things this bad on the internet, then you must be a huge burden in real life...

  • I can't believe that this idiotic two-penny show(let me call it this way after seeing this 'masterpiece') actually spend thousands of dollars to prove the dumbest point in whole Palin's campaign.

    She never claimed she can see Russia from Diomede's Island. She said Alaska. intended as Wasilla.

    I doubt she even knows about those tiny islands.

    And YES i knew about them and stretch of Bering since school desk, i'm Russian, hence educated. Sry for attitude)) But it's true) Drill, baby, drill!

  • @DrunkenDriverStudio I live in America and I totally respect Russia!

  • what idiots, sarah palin never said she could see russia from her house, it was tina fay that said it in SNL. Idiots like this is how we got the illegal alien Barack Hussein Obama Jr. acting as president.

  • This is the kind of hatchet piece that got Obama elected.

  • Palin at one time requested millions for a useless "bridge to nowhere". Instead, why didn't she send a fraction of that for the poor outposts like this instead? Or it that too much of a compassionate and intelligent idea for her and other self-centered twit politicians to follow?

  • Can we have the mods shut off comments? There is too much tard rage going on in the comments section.

  • LOOK AT THE PEOPLE THEY ARE ASKING... SERIOUSLY? They didnt even know who McCain was!! How can they tell anyone certifiably about Palin!? At least she says what she thinks and does it vs obama who is everyones b*tch and gives lip service to the people of the U.S. like a loose lipped whore trying to cover for his bad actions without improvement... Thumbs up this if you wish you didn't vote for obama. :]

  • Did CNN go to this length when Hillary said she was dodging bullets, or when Obama lied about being a Law Professor when he was only a Senior Lecturer?

    No.. only Palin, who didnt lie about anything.

    Now if she was a Democrat from Alaska the story would be completely different.

    Media would showing her strengths of being a mother & Gov.

    As for being stupid, she looks like Einstein compared to Biden.

  • Throwing that garbage in to the sea is just wrong. Bunch of stupid uneducated cuntfaces.

  • One More reasons why we hate this ignorant woman... O _ o

  • so typically USA always brag about their indusry power and how all are richer than russia

  • @HongKongKanto Sadly yes =( I'm Russian and I respect USA, but they no respect us. Makes me sad =(

  • My opinion! Iran and Nord Korea are placed for injustice with these sanctions Big protest I recommend changing in FN four more Nations as a permanent members of security council IRAN BRAZIL SYRIEN LYBIA,,,,,I´m not surprised that the East Timor showed op at the last second and was chosen instead of Iran in a department within FN. An old APPROACH,,,,,mar kjartansson 24t

  • I like the way that the people in Little Diomede look. That little girl at school was so adorable, and so were the little babies at 3:30!

  • I can't BELIEVE there are places like this in America!!! No TV? No Hospitals, schools? No airport? FORTY PERCENT poverty rate???? With all the hundreds of millions in earmarks Palin got for a Alaska its a damn shame that those people have to live like that.

  • @Boobalopbop

    maybe THOSE PEOPLE like their small town and don't want it to become a city. 145 ppl, isn't enough to have a hospital and airport. and there is a school with 25 students. Alaska's not like the lower 48. TV is not as important as you may think. yes there are somethings that need changed but it is not unlivable.

  • @SEWkem I'm aware that some people choose not to have TV. Hell, if I had kids I probably wouldn't allow TV, but the ENTIRE island doesn't have access to TV? Thats just sad. Why is it OK to let them live as if they are in 3rd world country?

  • So this program wan't Russia to leave the other island? If thats so then you can dream on. Lol * Russia a dominated wieve '' Oh so sad for those Americans now they have to watch towards Russia everyday. Lol Move away from there and sell the small shit hole to russia instead.

  • shes hot

  • Oh yeah! Isn't Sara Palin Stupid?! She has never even been a community organizer! She only took on The Republican Good Old Boys Club, kicked their asses soundly and turned around the economy of the largest state in the Union. What a loser! If only she could offer us "hope" and "change" and tripple the deficit! Well, damn! I guess she really isn't qualified to be president!

  • @journeytosilius No one mocks her for saying she could see Russia from Alaska. We mock her for thinking that makes her a foreign policy expert. The "I see Russia from my house" bit came from Saturday Night Live. Everyone knows that was Tina Fey's take on Palin's words, not Palin's actual words.

  • The thing is, the news blew this out of proportion like they do everything else. Her quote was that you can see Russia from an island in Alaska. nowhere did she say she herself went there and saw it. HOW the hell did the news make this jump that she claimed she had seen it herself. Anyway it was dumb of her to say that in an effort to promote her international dealings/experience, but still the news took the actual quote and turned it into sensationalism, which is why I hate most news/networks.

  • @MajorObvious  YOUR MOM

  • Lol and obama claimed he campaigned in all "57 states" of the US

  • @blackhawkwm 50 states dumbass

  • @russianpride415 duh fuck u talkin bout? I live in Alaska and know for a fact, RUSSIA SOLD ALASKA for two cents an acre to the United States. (Russia is epic btw)

  • how come russia gets the big one? :(

  • Lots of politicians are dumb all over the world, but Sarah Palin would win the "Dumbest Human Being on Earth" prize...

  • Alaska was sold and nobody asked the Russian people. Alaska is Russia. 

  • @russianpride415 FUCK THE RUSSIAN PEOPLE RUSSIAN TRASH

    PRUDE TO BE ALASKA ESKIMO USA FUCK RUSSIAN FUCK RUSSIAN

    FUCK RUSSIAN RUSSIAN TRASH RUSSIAN TRASH RUSSIAN TRASH

  • @BRHS1998 What an incredibly dumb response.

  • @Meduzi  RUSSIAN DEAD

  • @BRHS1998 Yes, you've said that already. Are you brain damaged perchance?

  • @Meduzi DEAD

  • @BRHS1998 So. what you're trying to communicate is that you're brain dead? We got that.

  • @Meduzi  DEAD

  • @russianpride415 you are fucking russian trash

  • I'd let Sarah Palin suck my dick on that island.

  • I really just cannot believe that CNN wasted so much money to do this report based on an off hand comment made by Palin.

    Why weren't they all over Obama's foreign policy experience? Is living in Indonesia when he was a small boy better foreign policy experience then Governing a state that borders two foreign countries?

    I'm no big fan of Palin but my goodness please at least to try to be a little objective. Oh wait. This was posted by the HuffPo. Nevermind. Objectivity alludes the HuffPo.

  • But if Russia takes Alaska...we have 49 states... ;3; *has issues with uneven numbers, very OCD*

  • Russians can take alaska. We wouldn't miss it.

    PS. Would you Russians mind sending a few of your hot girls over here as an even exchange? : )

  • @deadpuppys777 Yep, keep dreaming boy, I would sell ALL fucking Vatican for that girls! :)

  • @scuba36fun I was only joking and YES, Russian girls are hot.

  • It should be Russian!

  • What has "being there" got to do with anything? I have been in almost all states in a truck but I learn a whole lot more about them online. Actually setting foot in a city is almost meaningless. Has Obama set foot in every town in America?  Am I to assume then that any town he has not visited in person is beyond his scope to involve in his affairs? I'd like to think so, but unfortunately not. Typical CNN bias citing irrelevancies as important.

  • Honestly, who cares. I think they are taking it too seriously.

  • @RFXCGZZ oh yes...OH YES I AGREE, Intelligence of the next PRESIDENT should not be considered in election. So yeah, it's OK to elect a second DUMB FUCK for a president...or should I say dumb cunt.

  • i dont understand time zones if its tuesday afternoon your just looking across the water and now its wednesday

  • why do they all look asian

  • @StormOfSwords cause it's asia...?

  • @StormOfSwords oh you mean the alaskans, I apologise

  • @StormOfSwords because they're native americans. they came from siberia/ north eastern asia

  • @StormOfSwords

    Because that's were the first Americans came from, and they are descendants of them.

  • Wow, I thought that the rumors about Palin's stupidity were overstated, but now I no longer doubt it. I didn't think that she literally said that she "was keeping an eye on Russia "and had "trade mission going back and forth", wow I hope she gets reelected somewhere else in USA, that'd mean that you have attained the gender equality at least in the politics where a monumentally incompetent person can get elected regardless of the gender.

  • In soviet russia, russia sees you!

  • @fatalwing no no no in soviet russia, Stalin sees you!

  • I can't stand Palin, but what foreign policy experience did Obama have before becoming president?

  • @airborneinfantry86 Well, to start with Obama has lived in foreign countries so he has experienced a variety of cultures. It is very important to understand foreign cultures when trying to deal with them effectively.

    Palin on the other hand relied solely on the fact that Russia was near to Alaska as her foreign policy experience. She hadn't even been to a foreign country other than Canada when she ran for VP. I would have loved to have seen someone ask her to point out Iran on a globe.

  • @icemachine79

    That's a lot of BS, he doesn't even know how many States there are in his own country.

  • hahaha im from alakanuk not to far from nome and it is not as ghetto as they make it seem, but it is true ted stevens went to villages that no1 evr knew of, villagres love ted just cause he wanted to help the natives of Alaska not the govnerment or united states, but help ALASKAN NATIVES

  • housewife

  • All american politicians are full of shit .

  • I can see the moon from my backyard...... that makes me an astronaut !

  • @F4O4U4R4S Yes, yes is does!

  • @F4O4U4R4S lol

  • Tonight On AC 360 with Anderson Cooper! We find out that Not only is Sarah Palin the biggest moron to ever aspired to one of the nation's highest offices, but she confused a world map with the idea that Russia can be seen from land there in Alaska!!!

  • AllAlaskan Uhuh and Russian frontier guards will shot you down..

  • In the winter when the water freezes over they actually walk over to the russian side to visit relotives.

  • palin is a liar!

  • Democrats are tree hugging enviromentalists, who believe in giving welfare to lazy unemployed people and republicans are blindly religious racist stubborn fundementalists. So no matter what, we're screwed... but we get to pick how they screw us... Yay democracy!

  • that must really suck for those poor people on that island, somebody should go rescue them, there isn't shit to do there

  • i can see sarah palins vajayjay from my house, i guess that makes me a Gynecologist

  • Palin is so amazingly dense, but she uses a tone as if she is the smartest person in the room. Why does she speak with such an Ann Coulter-like patronizing tone?

  • Russia and USA are almost like neighbors then

  • @prodigiii712 Yes they are. The biggest difference is the politics, not the people.

  • @prodigiii712 they are, we Russia is more bigger and powerful than us

  • @7150285 NO DONT SAY THAT.THE U.S COULD WIPE RUSSIA OF THE MAP IF NEEDED

  • @check2773 RUSSIA COULD WIPE OUT THE (GLOBE) IF NEEDED. True fact: the USSR had more than twice of nuke during the could war then the States

  • LMAO "SO FAR NO INTERNATIONAL INCIDENTS" cnn fails tbh. im tired of looking up alaska videos and get junk about sarah palin, RON PAUL IS THE TRUE REPUBLICAN!!!!!!!

  • Years ago,you could just fly from Russia to Alaska.Today need to get a visa and fly to Los Angeles and then to Alaska.

  • Whats really great about this is the amount of money CNN spent to send some reporter up there just to try find something to talk about.

  • Mainstream media only points out and tehn inflates stupid shit that stupid people say.

    In this case, its Sarah Palin.

  • All I ever need to know about the weaknesses of USA I learn from main stream media.

  • Nothing like main stream media to insult every place they visit. So when are they going to get theirs?

  • @enjoixander

    Oh, the media has its embarrasing moments.

  • Hey you ignorant lower 48 asses! We can see Russia, from Alaska! It is called Little Diomede Isle here in Alaska,about 2,in a half miles from Big diomede isle in Russia! What don't you get, down south? You ignorant asses still think we live in igloo,s and our currency is Canadian! Ignorant fucks! Oh, and kiss our great big awesome Alaskan asses! Chew on those facts!!!!!!!!!!

  • agree fuck those ignorant idiots! in the southern states they think europe is a country

  • @onlyoneak

    Woohoo! Hey you up there, we can see Mexico way down here. And unlike Russia, Mexico isn't devoid of people! >: )

  • Typical CNN bias. Palin never said she could see Russia from her house, that was Tina Fey. Palin said "from land in alaska you can see Russia "

    She never even declared "foreign policy experience". She was the C-n-C of the Alaskan national guard that protects and monitors US air space there.

    Russia OFTEN violates our airspace and Canada's

  • no wonder people are turning off cnn they cant tell tina fey from sara palin

  • I don't think I learned anything from this clip other than they throw garbage in the sea. Which is just sick. Won't be long now and environmentalists will be shutting them down.

  • So the United States technically has a border with Russia! wow.

  • @bcmasta1returns "So the United States technically has a border with Russia! wow. " - if you read a little bit of history, you'll know that the reason for this is that Alaska WAS Russian territory, until it was sold to US by a Russian czar as a good-will gesture. Surprising how few Americans actually know that. Seems like good-will gestures just don't take hold in US citizens memories.

  • @TheBishopSSR i live in alaska

  • @TheBishopSSR we know. sold for a few million bucks iirc

  • Why didn't Sarah Palin help this little island? She should do something for those poor people! OMG! What a selfish horrible woman! She knows the conditions there and she hasn't helped or visited there!

  • @caseymp25 Why do they need help?

  • who the F8ck wanna live there:\

  • Tell you the truth I wouldn't mind.

  • me neither it looks calm but its a little desolated well i dont really care about watching tv if i got internet and u know main utilities ill be fine.

  • wa this is a cool place lol.

  • throwing bags full of garbage into the ocean? that's f'kn ghetto man.

  • Palin lives in ExRussia n she has no respect for motherland!

  • lol i find this so funny

  • @resevilMGS

    Palin isn't Russian, STUPID! Oh yeah, we made it to the Moon, you didn't. So technically, you should be bowing down to us. >= )

  • Russia'll be back Alaska

  • ... and china will be back in the amur valley?

  • Oh my god this woman is an idiot.... I hope that all of her hopes and dreams are crushed like a bug.

  • Actually, you can see Russia mainland from the Alaskan island called St. Lawrence Island. What does Gary Tuckman know?

  • Oh my God, the natives look CHINESE!!!!

  • LOL I agree with you they do.

  • Chinese with Russian last names!

  • wow. lucky shit. wont happen again. next time she says something hilariously stupid. we have to get to work now, you never know when one of those shitty comment will pop out.

  • Big friggen' deal...

    I am sure Katie Couric is a great intellect...

    Russia controlled Alaska 150 plus years ago...

    Many Alaskans can see Russia...I am sure...

  • right. but they have proabably never, ever seen anything as mentally and socially and estrogenically challenged as sarah palin. she's so dumb. she wouldn't even survive in today's high schools.

  • ye just like millions of alaskans can chose not to be gay, read chronicles without remembering their names, and run for president in 2012. if john mccain clost so horribly to obama imagine how lopsided itll be just four years later

  • Palin sounds like a russian last name...

  • No.

  • yes

  • these eskimo's dont care about politics they have relatives on the russian side too.

  • It's funny, but some people still believe she never said that...they claim it was only said on the snl skit.

  • lolol proven palin is an idiot

  • To downrightingnorant....

    People call other people ignorant or any other name for that matter are just reflecting what they think of themselves....I think this applies to you!

  • Ignorance is a fact and a basic trait of humanity and existence. Name-calling does not, in any matter, reflect anything of the offender except one's insecurities and, quite possibly, the uninformed views of such and offender. While what you say is cute and funny, it is not, in any way accurate.

  • You just hung yourself psychopath...you do live up to your handle.

    Your calling Sarah Palin an idiot only proves that there is just idiot....you!

  • Haha. You are fucking Hilarious. There is ONE main problem with your last comment:

    I never called Palin an idiot; downrightignorant called Palin an idiot. By the way, it is absolutely retarded to think that name-calling reflects on oneself. The only corresponding evidence to that is that people who are unable to think clearly use more profanity, and people who call names are insecure about themselves. And, if you're right, your calling me an idiot proves you're an idiot.

  • What, nothing left to say, genious?

  • You continue to show what a small minded person you really are... Again, you live up to your name...how sad for you!

  • By the way, a Psychopath is not necessarily a mentally disabled person, and your messages have shown that you are the small-minded one.

  • Also, your calling me an idiot shows you to be one, and, still, I have never said that Palin was an idiot.

  • Comment removed

  • What dumb assumptions and claims. You are the one who needs to see things from other points of view.

  • We must retake Alaska is RUSSIAN LAND!!!

  • It was sold to the US.

  • And where the money? Underwater? No money - no deal!

  • Give us the oil rights and you can take teh citizens. Deal?

  • @Jacquinot1982 Go ahead and try......

  • no it is NATIVE LAND, look up the battle of sitka, HA!

  • @Jacquinot1982 its native Alaskan land dumb ass.

  • @Jacquinot1982

    Then why did you sell the land in the first place? Was it because you didn't know about the oil or Something.

  • I bet the Russins wish they had never sold Alaska to the yanks with all that oil it has. They got it for a bargain.

  • God I am so glad I went to Australia.. I mean I am proud Barack is in office mostly because I am technically Democrat.. But geez, I am glad I left anyway.. Mostly because this poor idiot nearly had a chance of being in office.. Foreign Policy experience? That's like me saying I am a marine biologist because I live next to a river.. Thanks Republican party..

  • Funny)))) Russia - northern and cold country. Why do we connect the northern territory? Maybe Canada wants to join Alaska?

  • CNN = Liberal Bias

  • So...Palin doesn't believe that Earth is flat after all?

  • Alaska should rejoin Russia.

  • @CommonAswhole FUCK RUSSIA

  • America is degenerated and violent nation !

  • And you apparently watch too much TV.

  • @DiscoverRussia America kicks ass, Dude.

  • @DiscoverRussia

    Yeah right, like we murdered people because they belonged to a different religion. You're still recovering from the chains of communism anyway.

  • American people adorre the most stupid and degenerated cellebrities and political clowns.

    American stupidity and ignorance is unlimited !

  • "American people adorre the most stupid and degenerated cellebrities and political clowns."

    Well, as an American, I can think of a few diseases I'd rather have than give the least regard to overrated celebrities.

  • As for politicians, I look for no-nonsense, practical-minded to run our country.

    Between Obama and McCain, it was clear to me after their third debate, who was the more pragmatic of the two for the 2008 Presidential Run.

    People like Palin and Dubya are good for comedy value. But we don't need comedians in the White House, thank you.

  • Alaska IMO should be canada's. It's just nearer to Canada than USA.

  • media: "Palin has never seen russia from alaska!"

    Average American: "Haha, what a dumb bitch im not gonna vote for mc cain now!"

    Informed American: "Why is shit like this breaking news?, I wouldn't vote for Obama or McCain anyway...honestly who gives a flying fuck if she has never seen Russia from Alaska?"

  • lol

  • exactly!

  • I don't know much about Alaska but is it just me or do they all look asian? and their accent is so mixed

  • Its because the natives of Alaska are technically Asian.

  • There are some what 10+ tribes of Inuit people that live in northern Siberia

  • Tina Fey saw Russia. I know I saw it on TV, so it has to be true

  • haha

  • Alaska reaches union with Russia better for the world ecology.
