Matt Taibbi on Sarah Palin and the Electorate

[epiksonik]

Even if the anti-Obama people were ever to be proven right by their suggestions, it is pretty lamentable that such a body of miserable, angry, uninspired, egotistical, foul-mouthed people are what can be called the American majority. My stomach turns at their rancor.

Ironic how it took "hope" to show how hopeless this country really is.

Search "Taibbi Loesch" for the video

[IdiotsForObamaCom]

And if you want to watch a conservative, that is, a woman with a brain, watch this- youtube com /watch?v=jB584M7EobE and see Tabbi get schooled. It heats up at the 3:00 mark. The guy looks so fuc*king clueless and dishonest it's actually funny to watch Dana Loesch embarrass him.

[IdiotsForObamaCom]

Tabbi needs to take the cock out of his mouth. Democrats use gays like they use blacks. Come out of the closet kid. As for Palin, she is smarter than liberals, AND she's smarter than her haters think. She's not the best choice for President, but was a community organizer IDIOT like Obama? NO! Ron Paul was the best choice. Now look what we have. At least with Palin, her economic team wouldnt of been a bunch of academic failures and her czars wouldnt be commies and Marxists. Fuckoff Palin haters

[xadam2dudex]

@IdiotsForObamaCom u r an idiot

[IdiotsForObamaCom]

Great answer. Typical of a LIBTARD who has no response. So Adam, how did YOU become a weak-minded, "bend over and educate me" spinless wimp MORON? How did you become so fu*king stupid? I would LOVE to know? Must be a panzi college student who had mommy and daddy hand everything to him and become an entitle minded liberal Or, do you really take it where you have bowel movements? It's a birth defect, i will not make fun of you, but just be honest. It's okay dude...

[LetsGo6009]

I love him too but he was dead wrong on Reps backing away from race-baiting if Obama got elected. He did, and they just upped the ante with the tidal wave of xenophobia that calls itself "teabaggers"

[IdiotsForObamaCom]

he's mad because Palins more popular. She's smarter...and Matt is a closet bitch-just come out man. It;'s okay

[Whyisthat101]

@IdiotsForObamaCom You aren't serious are you?

[Whyisthat101]

@IdiotsForObamaCom Ron pauls smarter and more popular than Taibbi, but he's not criticizing him is he? Then why would he be doing that to Palin? He's doing that to Palin because she has no real policy and she's not politically competent as shown in her many interviews.

[blackcherry1212]

this guy has a deep seeded guilt and he thinks he needs to play up how much he is NOT racist..

[HarrisonHKruger]

If you like this guys, check out "The Great Derangement." Its a great book that captures a lot of interesting situations across the US, but is both intellectually stimulating and written with conversational language so it is easy to read.

[apooonu]

"you are or you aren't, and he aren't."

gotta love the idiots in this country. priceless entertainment value.

[VoloAccendo]

Has Taibbi written an account of the Obama Administrations empty promises?

Here are a few off the top of my head:

1.) get out of iraq

2.) no special interest funding

3.) new faces in washington DC

4.) redistribution of wealth to the lower classes NOT the upper classes

[JimmayVV]

hahahaha 4 months into his term and already you are looking to collect on campaign promises?? If he was capable of doing all these things in 4 months why didn't he promise the whole world to us? Why didn't he promise more?

He didn't because it's unreasonable to expect results that quickly. Come back to me in 2 years...

[VoloAccendo]

1.) The metamorphosis of BO's Iraq rhetoric went something like this ... I'll get us out of Iraq on day 1 of presidency, which turned into 6 months, which turned into 18 months, which turned into "well I don't know when were getting out of Iraq but I am transferring troops to Afghanistan"

[VoloAccendo]

2.) 1.)With campaign finance reform BO says no special interest funding, but he's the biggest taker from AIG and Goldman Sachs, the big boys in the current financial mess. Meanwhile BO's getting millions of dollars from small donations coming off prepaid credit cards from people with names like Mickey Mouse, Goofy and Donald Duck.

[VoloAccendo]

3.) No new faces in Washington ... JimmayVV, do expect BO to fire half his staff in 2 years?

[KidVolcano]

@JimmayVV

Look man, I was kind of excited when Bambam got elected, I thought he *might* prosecute the Bush cabal for all their dirty dealings. Turns out, he's doing 99% of the same shit that Bush did. Fuck Obama, fuck the democrats and republicans. What we need is a real revolution, not petty squabbles over peripheral crap.

[FerdAlmo]

@JimmayVV So... yeah... the internet has been patient. Time to finally teach it your wise assessment, yes?

[VoloAccendo]

4.) redistribution of wealth: JimmayVV have you heard of TARP or EESA? If so, which way was the money flowing, because as far as I can tell it sure wasn't flowing downstream.

The problem JimmayVV, is that you listened to what BO was saying rather then looking at the fruits of his actions. His actions make him totally transparent... Meaning he's just another politician, albeit he's a black president with a silver tongue, the former being historical.

[whitmts]

Da!  Boring liberal!

[teaparty111]

Youtube is not a good sample of truth about people or their talents. People tend to view who they LOVE. So a down thumb means nothing to me. FUCK OFF---TAIBBI is lame and banal--he's stale and not very funny. I still read his books and AGREE with most of his politics--he seems like a good guy--but he is not funny to me--my opinion--if you don't like it--fuck off.

[paymaun]

smart, right

[teaparty111]

PJ O'Rourke wannabe jerkoff---where is the originality or the humor--his shit is old and stale. He thinks a lot but it is the same old shit you hear fromeveryone else----GET SOME ORIGINAL FOLKS---PLEASE

[evelynjoyce]

O'Rourke is the complete opposite of Taibbi. O'Rourke is a Republican who has always supported douchebags and then lamely admitted they've been douchebags, while continuing to support them.

[teaparty111]

I know this evelynjoyce--but o'rourke is an old hippie and tabbi there is copying the drug jokes etc.--I know there political differences----o'rourke is very liberal socially!

[storytellersunion]

"he thinks a lot". haha, damn him for being intelligent and funny. by the way, taibbi is a far better journalist and his humor only irks you because you're a lemming teabagger (get some original ideas? haha). where is o'rourke? i don't know either.

[teaparty111]

I read Tiabbi's books; one went on ad nausium about born-again Christians. He's not that funny to me--maybe you are young and have not had enough experience with comic writers; you have a naive arrogance I see. Listen to him speak above--he is banality at its best. I don't see him as very intelligent but maybe you can. O'Rourke has many best sellers and just did a book on THE WEALTH OF NATIONS (SMITH--Adam if you don't know)--Look I don't care if your fucking him--get some thicker skin.

[teaparty111]

I see you call a lot of people gay (teabaggers--assfuckers--etc. from your page comments and other comments). Are you homophobic? Taibbi is not hateful of gay people--he is a liberal. You are not a good liberal or lover of people like the guy above if you shit ignorant stuff from your key pad like that. I'm not gay but I would be proud if I was; maybe you are embarrased and in the closet STORYTELLERSUNION?

[storytellersunion]

haha, is it a bizarre coincidence that your name has nothing to do with the recent, flaccid attempts at tea party "tax protests"? if so, i made an error in judgment but tea-bagging isn't a homophobic slur nor would i ever use homophobic slurs and i'd enjoy seeing where i ever have used such a term if you'd so please. you seem to be the one with homophobic tendencies with your need to proclaim yourself "not gay but...". i realize now that you're just old and irrelevant, just like smith's book.

[teaparty111]

I'm not a republican or a teaparty person; one meaning of a tea party is when people smoke weed. I'm not homophobic at all and the comments are made on your comments on your page (probably erased now). I'm not old either and Adam Smith's WEALTH is not antiquated. Much of it is still used--esp. comparing comparative advantage (Ricardo) with labor arbitrage which is our big globilazation problem. Calling a man a teabagger is to call him a "faggot" and homophobic--it's deragatory. PEACE- TEA

[storytellersunion]

teabagging is to place a man's testicles in someone's mouth whether it be a woman OR a man. also, the comments on my page are from other idiot users that are calling ME a "faggot" because i called them on their homophobia. we both misread. you just come off as someone who says, "current rock isn't what it used to be like when i was a kid!" taibbi is a great journalist whether or not you care for his humor and all comedians learn from other comedians. talking about drugs is a staple bit.

[believer66]

haha i love him

[DavidEliRecords]

He's cute, but lossing his hair on top.

[Boobalopbop]

@believer66 I went to one of his book signings. He's foxy in person.

[spoier]

Her policy is implied by the supposed "values" she holds as a joe-sixpack hockey mom etc. If those 45% think that she is the kind of person that has certain morals, then they presume she will govern in line with that.
