Hardball: Palin didn't know countries in NAFTA Treaty /or Africa a continent

[TheYouwontgetit]

well i remember learning at school that only usa and canada are in the north america... mexico is then in the middle america with all the countries down to panama...

[GoldcardAsia]

America has 13 states ruled by a King. -S. Palin

[RadarGuidedVermin]

Obama didn't know there weren't "57 states" in America.

[thetruthis9]

MY GOD I HOPE SHE WINS THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION...!!!

[schlummieleinchen]

You know they're OUT of arguments, when the cussing takes over.

A good debate is always LOST by the one resorting to foul language and senseless babble.

Tough to be a Palin fan, ey? You just can't defend an idiot parading as a genius.

Is it going to take a small child to eventually point it out? "Mommie, that woman isn't wearing any clothes!"

Exit, Empress Polly Palin. It's only a matter of time.

Check out the score: Palin's fans are the RED number!

[emmettk]

I have but one requirement for a presidential candidate. The person should be more knowledgeable than ME!

[KenMacMillan]

@emmettk How many states are there? & don't look it up.

[chrisliowknicksfan]

"palin cost mccain the election"

even if this were remotely true, it's the gop's own fault for selecting her in what clearly was an attempt to gain the female vote... they spent months calling obama inexperienced and incompetent and then boom, sarah palin is a candidate

this will probably set women back in politics 50 years or so

[RebelGuy95]

I hope that she gets the nomination in 2012, between Obama and Palin maybe people will look for a third party candidate and maybe, just maybe, we can get these two parties that are bought and paid for out some of their power.

[gthomasj]

North America also includes Greenland, plus all the countries in Central America and the Caribbean, not just the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.

Sarah Palin's an idiot, don't get me wrong, but these guys aren't exactly geographical geniuses either.

[culturaltropical]

ok, someone explain to me...i dont understand. is she a retard?

is she mentally challenged?

did she go to school?

have she ever left the US?

[12301986]

@culturaltropical I'll explain it to you easily.

YES, she is. A very stupid one, at that.

Since this video, she quited her governorship without finishing her first term.

There was a book called, "Game Change", where they said that Palin didn't know why North and South Korea became separate countries. Also, they were giving her index cards, and she wouldn't study them. And, they were preparing her for the VP debate, and she kept calling Biden, 'O-Biden'.

[thegreatdaveo]

@culturaltropical Believe it or not, she actually has a college degree. She went to four different colleges before finally getting a B.A. in communications (emphasis in journalism) from University of Idaho in 1987. I guess they didn't teach much geography or political science in her elementary school, high school, or any of the colleges she attended. Sheesh, even my 8 year old nephew knows Africa is a continent.

[germarnatkob]

That was a hard question for Sarah perhaps But Obama doesn't even know how many states we have My 4 years old son know how many states we have. can you imagine if they ask this same question to Obama it would make Sarah a genius. LOL stupid Chris Mathew.

[enriquebenitez51]

Sara Palin ...I hope she wins the 2012 GOP nomination...what a gift to us liberals !!!

[MrSimon510]

what made me really question palin in the beginning when nothing was known about her......was her whole fight to get rid of sex ed in school classrooms because of her beliefs in marriage first or something, but her daughter who was fairly young got pregnant out of wedlock....that just made me laugh

[jjj2beezniz]

the owners are making a joke by putting palin in the spotlight and we all watch and talk about her... she is no different than will smith or angelina jolie just a tv personality to talk about and we are being laughed at... these so called news stations actually take the time to talk about her... ? haha.. fuck off america

[a1mint]

How excuses are people willing to make for Palin?

Seriously, can't everyone just discard her completely, move on, and get someone intelligent going for the GOP?

Someone like Ron Paul I could respect. But Palin... come on people, this really is NOT normal.

[spinnersmetal]

Well her followers probably don't know what NAFTA is or could point out more than 2-3 countries on a map, so it doesn't surprise me

[teedzy2]

I dont care what your party,you can not defend her she is in so far over her head and if she didnt look like that we would have never known who she was,someone from the republican party or someone from Alaska please tel me what has she accomplished?You guys are always going after Obamas alleged flimsy pre-presidential resume and that he was a community organizer and you dont know what it is,give me one piece of legislation or ANYTHING she has done

[bapyou]

Someone should make a video of Sarah Palin with the cuckoo clock sound going off randomly in the background.

[thetwentyteens]

Wow! She didn't know the names of the three countries involved in The North American free Trade Agreement. Holy shit!

Thanks. I had a rough three days and needed a good laugh.

I knew about the Africa Continent thing from a few years ago, but not the NAFTA thing. Oh. Man!

We're doomed as a people.

Okay. I'm gonna click on the "Sean Hannity Colored People" video now.

He uses the word "Colored" on Al Sharpton about three times.

[Aegius]

@thetwentyteens Yes, she did know about the countries in NAFTA & Africa being a continent. For those who don't know, this came from a memo at MSNBC and frankly had no basis at all. In other words it was a hoax and has been proven as such. Seriously, she knew that Israel is a country(not far from Africa) and didn't know that Africa is a continent? She also had meetings w/cos from Canada. Are you really that stupid to believe that crap?

[Darrylizer1]

@Aegius You are absolutely wrong. The information was leaked by McCain staffers. Do you honestly think people would run a story based on a memo without checking the facts? And how did MSNBC come to that conclusion? Her lack of knowledge was reported by Fox News, not a bunch of people that would report something based on a memo from MSNBC are they?

[futures801]

A grown woman that was able to rise through the ranks of the Republican party to become the first female VP nominee did not know that Africa was one of the seven continents and not a country?

How stupid would YOU have to be to believe (or want to) that SHE is that stupid?

[ElChuckos]

She wasn't the first female VP nominee, Geraldine Ferraro was in the 80's

[freshprince512]

oh the irony of your comment.

you republicans continue to lower the bar of stupidity everytime you open your ignorant mouths.

have you ever heard of Geraldine Ferraro?

[futures802]

Holy late reply, batman. Perhaps I should have inserted REPUBLICAN VP nominee. I'm an Independent libertarian, BTW. Now piss off, intellectual lightweight.

[rumpole33]

be fair. how is she supposed to know what countries are in nafta? there's just soooo many countries in n. america... also, being from alaska, how is she supposed to have even heard of canada?...

also, how is she supposed to know africa wasnt just one big country? she couldnt see it from her house to check on that like she could on russia...

of course she thinks she can be in both the exec & legis branch at the same time. isnt 'separation of powers' just 3 diff DVDS of austin powers movies?

[randikajamai]

The chick in green is lovely!!

[escada2004]

That fat whore in green is sooooo fucking ugly!

[JacobeyKing]

You're a fucking moron. Sure she's chubby and she's not totally hot.. But are you so mean and weird that you need to call her a fat ugly whore?

Jesus Christ.. I can't believe weirdos like you exist...

[AuthenticZephyr2]

"Malhandled?" And the Liberal media makes fun of Conservative media for making up words?

[ikaba12345]

wat!

[backbeats100]

talon115, that's pretty good,,how do you talk with your head up your ass...lol

[talon115]

Matthews is a tingly legged fool!

[4stringrager]

Bush=Dumb; Palin=Stupid Sarah Palin repeat after me: i am sofa king re todd edd

[cocobear33]

hey chris obama didnot know how many states there are in the USA but we know you would never bring that up and the only ingorant one is you chris and your rating prove it

[yes4me]

Obama made an obvious mistake when he said 51. But Sarah Palin didn't know since she was born such basic knowledge. And if you want to compare them, let's go: Sarah Palin didn't know Africa was a continent, NAFTA, Bush doctrine. She couldn't even sell a plane on Ebay after 9 months, and lost tons of money. "Bridge to nowhere"... I wish I could type more but I am running out of space. And you want to compare that history to Obama 1 mistake to that idiot religious insane woman? Are u Sarah Palin?

[TruthNotMedia]

I ain't surprised. Zionist puppet hirelings and dupes are hand picked according to the following criteria: Ignorant, vacuous, arrogant, stupid, idiocentric, as well as being a social and psychological deviant.

I strongly advice viewers to search McCain's bloopers, the goofball thought Israel is in Europe and No Arabs live in Arabia.

[14mm2]

There is no such place called Arabia

epic fail

[cobracarg]

or how clinton said that she believed in White Supremacy

[sonyq21]

lol Palin cost McCain the election

[mdog2700]

Hardballs mathews sucks camel dicks. More like Noballs on hardball.

[Monthagny]

Palin 2012......Its going to make compulsive viewing.

[pepsipopsihoogalto]

I mean, I totally agree with Matthews, but who would watch this? Its so stupid!! If Matthews wants to make a point, why doesn't he ask to be interviewed???

[bughead152]

Reliable sources there..."insiders say".

Wow! That's almost as good as that guy, Anonymous. What a BS story. But good ol' 'Thrill up my leg' will wallow in it like the pig he is. Matthews would do ANYTHING for Obama, I mean anything.

[masudrules]

Why aren't you attacking Cameron? He's the one who spread what you call a "BS story"...your beef should be with Cameron and FOX

[zub65]

When is Chris Matthews going to propose to Obama Hussein?

[jamesocon1]

When are you going to propose to K.K.Klein?

[pepsipopsihoogalto]

shut up

[bellajj75]

McCain aides are repugnant.

[tjbois]

The Republicans want her OUT of the game - TAG her, and reintroduce her into the Alaskian wild like a Moose on the loose.

the GOP ALWAYS run on fear. god, guns & gays!

[zub65]

Actually, real republicans want her to run in 2012. McCain was a moderate. Palin is the real deal.  It's obvious you libs are trying to knock her because you're scared of a real republican. That whole thing about her not knowing Africa is a continent was made up. Why doesn't Chris Matthews have a story about Obama when he said there is 57 states? cause MSNBC is slanted toward the far left, that's why. Now stop saying stupid things fag, and tell your people to stop spreading AIDS...

[habtuman]

Izi donkora sebeyti

"Afrika continent iyu?? Bunet??? weyy gudd"

[LijamGerrie]

Habtamu, I love your Tigrigna, thanks for making me laugh my heart out to tears.

Habtamu, Isn't it scary to think the American politicians are the RICHEST & most powerful people in the world, with nuclear bombs at their finger tips and yet they can NOT tell the difference among nations & continents?

Lord have mercy on America & save humanity.

[habtuman]

Its not that shes american, its that shes governer of alaska. ya kno who elected her? Eskamos!!

And mccain tried to outsmart women... HE FAILED

[LijamGerrie]

The report sounds "REPUBLICAN grape sour" from McCain's defeat to the first black President in America, EVER.

But, why blame Sara Palin for ignorance, when it was McCain, who asked her to be his running mate? If Sara Palin was known to be ignorant, why did McCain & the Republicans selected her for VP? Besides, George Bush & all of the US Congress & Senate use consultants & staffers to conduct their business, aware of their ignorance to world geography & world events.

Tell me it ain't so?

[eritreantigaraly]

got that right!!

Eritreans for Obama!

[lkcl0n3r]

Theres a new Sarah Palin flash game where you can shoot wolves from a helicopter LOL

search google : AIRMILF

[speakmymind01]

isn't it amazing that Chris Matthews will do an entire show on anonymous sources,

But if a person comes out and says Obama has ties to Anti American radicals, you'll never hear about it.

something wrong here??

[jcanavan]

the future of the GOP = god guns and gays

[tina7ron]

This is the problem that Republicans (the right wingers) that they insult intelligent people and end up with someone like this one step away. yikes.

[leftcoaster63]

the republicans finest. wonder what other great decisions mccain would have made.

[Rata4You]

I hope the Republicans nominate her in 2012...that would be hillarious.

Personally I think she is finished...even as a governor.

[brumac44]

If Stevens can get re-elected in Alaska, after being found guilty, don't count her out. It seems anything is possible/

[Rata4You]

Consider how angry the Republicans are and how the power brokers in the GOP want to destroy her. Also consider the fact that she is becoming the GOP's own Ralph Nader!

The GOP will railroad her out of a job.

[patsagainstrats]

Let's be honest, broads just don't belong in high office. That's the lesson you can take away from this election cycle. Americans have spoken.

[grosquipue]

It is very hard to believe that she could be so ignorant.

[leonardleeyunsim]

When Palin first heard about Russia's invasion of Georgia, Palin asked, "Aw shucks! did those commies make it to Atlanta yet?"

[jaguaro85]

HAHAHA LOL

[vidguy67]

Typical Chris Matthews BS. He takes all of this for gospel and doesn't even care that the sources were "anonymous". Matthews is part of the destroy Palin campaign for 2012. I find it interesting that no one will go on record about this. Quite frankly it's disgusting that the MSM is trying to destroy an American Citizen because she dared to be part of the team that opposed the Messiah. And MSNBC wonders why no one watches them.

[jeffc3888]

typical republican response...instead of questioning the validity of her knowledge you attack the messenger..from mccain campaign no less. just imagine you hire a tutor for your kids with calculus and come to find the tutor can't even add....lol

[FreshCliches]

The Palin 2012 campaign doesn't need Matthews to be destroyed; they just need Palin. She's destructive to the Republican party - William F. Buckley Jr. and Barry Goldwater must both be at about 8000 rpm.

Look at the exit polls, and learn. Palin was determined by the electorate to be unworthy of the office. It wasn't the media that voted Obama in; it was the American people.

[Fencesandwind0ws]

Goldwater wasn't that successful himself at elections... only 6 states ain't impressive

[FreshCliches]

True, but Goldwater, like Buckley, are "true" conservatives, in that they both espoused "keep the government out of my wallet AND my bedroom", and intellect.

Sadly, the Republican Party was kidnapped by neo-conservatism, which glommed on to a social agenda (abortion, gay marriage, etc.) to use as "wedge" issues...all while using a "small government" public relations message as they racked up RECORD debt and unregulated spending.

Going nuts with the national "credit card" is NOT conservative.

[fenrir742]

Palin may not have been the most experienced VP ever, but I find many of the stories coming out now hard to believe. McCain's campaign was the worst run one I've yet seen, and staffers are shifting blame away from themselves.

It may be more insidious than that. Bushites on the McCain ticket might have purposely sunk it, and are burning Palin in hopes of leaving open a path to a Jeb Bush candidacy.

And Chris swallows the anonymous sources whole. Matthews stock has gone way down in my eyes.

[airforce535]

i bet she also thought Asia was a city. that should tell you a lot about the people in Alaska who voted for her..wow simply amazing.

[jamc666]

Sarah !! Please, please, please, run for 2012 !!!

[Tunnelfint]

MILF MILF

[DillonX]

We dodged a bullet.

She could've been a heartbeat away from the Presidency!

[ModernDayManiac]

I agree, everything happens for a reson. Hopefully she will never be allowed near the White House again. Let her go back to being a brainless, HOKEY MOM!

[613OG]

It seems as if the Republicans rigged their own campaign to let Obama win....as crazy as it sounds its not as crazy as a governor(nominated for VP) not knowing Africa is a continent, i mean look at how ignorant Sarah Palin was throughout the campaign why would they risk it all for her?

[kevincrazy21]

exactly.....we can see quite clearly that FUAX knew about it before...

[corbaman]

Anyone who watched any of the three Katie Couric interviews knew about it before

[Dudet704]

there is no proof that sarah palin said that. do they have a video about her not understanding africa is a continent? no.

[speedydan332]

C'mon. Let it go she is an idiot!! In a state like Alaska i don't think you need as much brains as you do personality to become Governer

[airforce535]

yeah like every time you talk with someone your video tapping them right?....dumb ass

[airforce535]

there's no proof that your smart so till you show me a video that proves your smart i'm going to assume your dumb. how about that?

[Ruler2009]

You say potatoe, I say poTAToe . . .

[9N8X]

If she Doesn't Even knoe Basic goverment

I Don't even wanna know what wuld happen with her as President

[9N8X]

Omg LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

[Pwells1]

KARMA!!!

[charlie44444]

Yes.. but at least he knew they were states and not countries..

[jms5969]

John Mcshame was right when he called Palin a dumb cunt! ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ah aha aha ha ah aha a LOSERS

[decline2state]

"This was no doubt taken out of context. If you believe this story, than you should also believe that Obama thinks there are 57 states."

True. He said he'd been in 57, but there were two others he hadn't been to. So he thinks there are at least 59.

[Pwells1]

I believe he misspoke, and meant to say 47.

[violetclementine]

We really dodged a bullet here people. My god.

[Libra2000]

I cant wait for all the stuff that's gonna come out next couple weeks.

.

Karma 's a bitch

[thumperbox]

Everyone who voted for her and McCain should be ashamed. Thank GOD they didnt win. We could have ended up with leaders dumber than BUSH ! ! ! and thats hard to top. But now I know how this country elected bush, people with the same I.Q. as him and Palin.........

[sbohandley]

You are naive and gullible. Remember, these were the same people who were smearing Obama with "Lipstick on a Pig" misquotes. These campaigners didn't have credibility with you then, why have things now changed?

This was no doubt taken out of context. If you believe this story, than you should also believe that Obama thinks there are 57 states.

[TILLKER]

what a dumb barbie ?

[kevinz1985]

propaganda, propaganda...

[charlie44444]

Geez...There are only 3 countries...and one of them is the U.S.A....so really only 2 to remember...and she can see Canada from her backyard (thank God we can't see her)...so really it was down to Mexico. Now is Mexico in South America or North? A 50% shot. Wow!

[avalsonline]

well, are the other countries north of panama canal in central america or in north? keep in mind, i am not making excuses for palin

[proverb10]

Are you kidding me? Central America isn't a continent. It's just a geographical region.

[avalsonline]

okay then. there are more than 3 countries in north america. guatemala, costa rica, panama, venezuela and others

[operamusicfan]

Well, Central America is not a continent.

[vernymax]

why wasn't this extremely relevant information exposed BEFORE the election....

[mrtrkdlite]

because they would loose if they released it

[vernymax]

no shit, it wasn't just the campaigns info to "release". certain people in the press new about the situation too

[vsop333]

She ain't no Condoleeza Rice or Margaret Thatcher. She needs to stick to dog ordnances and shopping mall zoning. If she simply craves praise and adoration then she needs to go away to a REALITY TV SHOW where all of her adoring fans can vote for her all they want without endangering our lives.

[dadada486]

Well i'm slightly skeptical of that Fox news report and i will have to encounter this kind of stupidity in person before i can believe it of a grown educated woman! I guess it's possible, particularly after listening to that disturbingly funny Palin prank call, but come on, even Britney and Paris have maps!.....then again!

[GoofyNewf]

Republicans are just irresponsible.. I'm starting to think that the whole purpose of the republican party is to put a couple of dumbasses in power so they can make billions.

[smkmn13]

hey, this is just another example of the "gotcha" media...

[skydogz1]

Palin 2012!!!

[Derokos]

ROFLMAO. Omfg. Seriously? Seriously? PLEASE, put her up. XD

[franknyt]

Yep, I'm gonna be jonesing for a hit of Tina Faye's Palin in about 4 years.

[tholden66]

Yes, please!! Most def make things easy for Democrats. Not to mention plenty of material for The Daily Show and The Colbert Report....

Always love a good laugh.

[Whatisthescore]

wow you posted this immediately

[MrL141]

And I thought that GW Bush was stupid.

[thinker0110]

The Palin's are just ignorant, self-dealing rednecks who are basically sophisticated welfare queens, using their political positions to enhance their own wealth.

[thinker0110]

Keep in mind, FOX NEWS was willing to honor a DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT over disclosing this vital information before the election. Is that not treasonous and a complete violation of journalistic ethics?

[canuma100]

its fox "News"..... they can do whatever they want....unfortunatly

[ND7652]

Exactly the point is that they were riding shotgun and intentionally hid the story with fake"news" releases as late as last weekend.

[markakapops]

What happened to investigating a story before we dedicate hours of "news" reporting to it. This report is gossip spilled by someone to someone else. What do you call 1000 news reporters at the bottom of the ocean? A good start!

[909pleasantville]

Hey, Palin was too busy getting her $200,000 make over that included a face lift, a boob job, a tummy tuck, lots of diamonds, and was too busy racking up tens of thousands of dollars on other people's credit cards!

[corbaman]

In my opinion, Mccain had 3 key problems.

1. Palin

2. McCain-Feingold - Drastically limited his campaign financing.

3. Frank Luntz - a notorious attack ad advisor for the republican party. I don't know who came up with McCain's strategy, but suspect Frank Luntz had a hand.

[dazetfreecrest]

I agree with you 100%. Palin is the dumbest person I have ever heard of trying to run for political office.

And negative campaigning always has a backlash.

[koek2000]

bush is dumber

[djpedy]

ill still do palin.

[111dogon555]

hahah of course, anyone would fuck the stupid hot chick. the point is, this dumb bimbo was almost the vice president

[djpedy]

i am not even from usa , but i knew that the american people were smarter then to elect her as a vp. i do think that she did hurt the republican vote.

anyways

world for obama 08.

Sarah if u read this .. Calll meee ;)

[Saix80]

Palin is a fucking moron. thank god McCain didn't win.

[vvrvladd]

why they always say Mccain piked her it was not only his decision

[dazetfreecrest]

It was his decision. He was the republican nominee. He may have been advised, but ultimately, he picks whoever he wants. He is the one running for president.

[Arondeus]

But it was HIS responsibility.

[Arondeus]

It was his responsibility. If he can't manage his own campaign, how would he be able to run a country?

[keanucange]

Theres only 2 nations in north america she lives in one and alaska is right next to the other one (canada) (unless you add countrys in central america) she lives in a nafta country and another one is right next to alaska and south of america is the other. Lmfao.

[deus1138]

Um, actually there are THREE nations in North America: U.S., Canada, and MEXICO. If there were only TWO countries involved, it would have been called, "The U.S.- Canada Free Trade Agreement."

[orangeman4242]

Uh...Mexico?

[grazzellian]

Obama's landslide win symbolizes these: The triumph of brains over buffoonery The triumph of Good Over Evil, The triumph of altruism over greed. The triumph of calm over hysteria The triumph of kindness over vileness, And Sharing over selfishness, The triumph of greatness over pettiness The triumph of creativity over staleness The triumph of freshness over decay The triumph of Fragrance over rottenness The triumph of intellect over ignorance The triumph of loftiness over mediocrity.

[Gscheitben]

I hope palin gets violated by a bear....

[ChrisCZC]

oh she does know Geography alright.

She can see Russia from Alaska! LOL

lucky america. Sarah Palin is a joke.

[candireign1]

One Dumb ass bitch! ha, ha, ha! "YES WE DID" you fuckers! lol. Obama 2012 also.

[traquib515]

A huge blow for feminism.

[CaltonNbr1]

how come?

[EckoStream]

Only for those who voted for McCain because she was his VP... I don't think she really represent any kind of Feminism... shes a muppet....

[Mevlevi1207]

Honestly, Sarah Palin is such a joke! Go back to school and retake some geography classes. Oh and never come back into politics kthx bye

[koek2000]

and she is not alone too...many Europeans cannot name 10 EU countries.I was in Czech Republic and most Czech University students do not even know the name of their Prime Minister

[antiiraqwar]

Shut the fucking mouth!

but you are another fucking piece of shit no good motherfucker!

i can name a hundred european countries; austria, germany, malawi, australia, peru, silicon valley...........

[natetheheel]

what the hell are you rambling about douchebag? hahaha have you got tourette's or something? hahahahaha you're a psycho, they make meds for people like you

[dome1972]

Moron

[koek2000]

idiot sucker...Malawi is in Africa..Peru is in south America..Australia is in Oceania...dumbass

[dys15]

well at least those students aren't running mates of the president...

Paling SHOULD know those things, well anyway it's over.

[babythandi]

They are not the VP of the most important country on earth...come on!

[koek2000]

But she went to six universities,failed in 5 and finally managed to "just" pass in the sixth. what do you expect? and she is a Republican...Bush did not know if Nigeria was in Africa or Africa in Nigeria.

[jcrohwer]

america dodged a bullet. thank goodness mccain/idiot '08 did not pull it off.

[Vote4thedream]

Sarah Failin' was an anchor but John McLame picked her so he is actually to blame for a failed campaign. So obviously neither one is too bright.

[gnortznitz]

Are you kidding me? Why is the press free to slam Obama until the very last vote, while everyone kept quiet about Palin's dangerous ignorance?

I'm a teacher in California, and I've seen delinquent 9th graders more informed than she. Save us.

[silentelysium]

Maybe because she is a woman?

[elocutionist]

Palin is an apt symbol of Republican failure. As such, opponents mock her, and supporters blame her; but blame should fall on those who first ignored reality and hastily spurred her into a run for high office.

[ednan9]

LOL..palin..LOL
