  • Sarah Palin is rising ,and there is not a dam thing you 'progessive' punks can do about it. There is a good american woman ,willing to bring honesty to this wretched Place we call Washington. Don't let her get away. Stick with Obama,the Pelosi congress,and the harry Reid senate, ,and sink like the Titanic. It's your choice.

  • @nick451 Not saying Obama is right but the woman is an idiot. She knows nothing about politics. Can you imagine her trying to talk the to the president of Iran on nuclear weapon operations. She can't even pronounce the word. She says "nucular." Not saying she has bad intentions; just born an idiot.

  • @zachpowell

    The true idiot is in the white house. His name is OBAMA. Who is trying to enact the Marxist dreams from his father.READ HIS BOOK.Sarah Palin has more iron ,and steel running thru her veins,and more intelligence ,than Barack Obama could tender in 5 lifetimes. For he has no "common sense"..While she desires the very best for this country ,he in turn is nothing but a smooth criminal. Your tall wrong to say she is stupid. Only a fool would make such a broad statement,and it is a lie.

  • SARAH PALIN = HOT MILF

  • She seems like the type of person who is very easy to talk to.

  • Lunatic left, lol. Because people were screaming "KILL HER!" at Obama rallies, am I right? Oh, wait. That was at the Palin rallies after she implied Obama was a terrorist. Yeah, I agree, Palin for 2012. It will insure another four years of Obama. And as to be scared of Palin? You betcha I am. The woman is a threat to anybody who has more than two brain cells in their head.

  • Wait, though... she's "stupid".... how can she be a threat? LOL. Go ahead, try to have it both ways. It proves how much of a weenie you are if you think she's stupid AND a threat.

    And if you DON'T think she's stupid, then every OTHER liberal probably thinks YOU are, because that's exactly how the media portrayed her.

  • "Wait, though... she's "stupid"... how can she be a threat?"

    There are two men. Each are carrying a loaded handgun. One is an intelligent, trained policeman who knows how to use his weapon. The other is an imbecile who doesn't know what he's doing. Who are you more afraid of? The trained policeman who knows when are where to use his weapon, or the idiot carrying a loaded handgun? Stupid people with power scare me just as much, if not more, than intelligent people.

  • @sucktastic

    this comment is wacky bullshit. And filled with pure lies. You should be ashamed of yourself,you punk.

  • @nick451

    Did you seriously just comment on a comment I made a year ago? LOL, fail. You Palin supporters are gloriously stupid.

  • @nick451

    I like your name ,it suits you. Drop the "tastic"...seriously ,dude!

    I don't give a dam when you wrote your comment ,it is bullshit.

  • Why is it that Palin supporters all seem to have worse grammar and sentence structure than a pack of drooling ten year old kids? Coincidence? I think not. Stay in school, Brian. It's never too late for an education.

  • haha. you got LOTS of thumbs down for stating the truth because people didn't like to hear it. way to go :)

  • She will never win a national election because just like all the other conservatives she trashes people that live in Urban areas. She needs to give up that folksy "you betcha" BS. Its embarrassing and most of America doesnt ID with that. She needs to assimilate into normal society to win. Imagine if Obama was using Black slang and acting hood.

  • First you are correct on her folksy "betcha" crap. But off the mark about BHO's jive

  • where is e.coli when you need it,one can only hope and that goes for her supporters as well

  • Man... is there any hope for human beings anymore? Saying you wish everyone who supports someone gets e. coli? Damn... I hate Obama and think his supporters were pretty uninformed (a combination of being THEIR fault AND the media's), but I'd NEVER say I hope they all get e. coli. What a rude and immature thing to say. You certainly are a WONDERFUL person, ya know. >.>

  • What the fuck is she on about. VP? She can't even string a few words together to form a coherent sentence.

  • what the a shit , the radical in the free rent house can't talk without a teleprompter. Lets compare her to joe biden? there is real piece of work for you.

  • Sarah Palin had a teleprompter today, and she STILL babbled on.

  • That family is used to handling weiners.

  • AndiusTheGreat,

    Sorry about my misspelling of the Republican candidate. I guess I had "Diehard" on my mind. At any rate, because he chose this Alaskan nitwit as his VP, his name should be John McLame.

  • I'm fed up with both the Republican and Democrat parties, but I like Palin. She fought corruption in her own party and worked hard for the people of Alaska. She ran a state, and even though it was for a short time, it's still more experience than Obama had. What has she done that was so evil that warrented the huge amount of hate from the left? Nothing! She is a good, decent woman with traditional values and that's enough reason for liberals to try to destroy her.

  • "She fought corruption..."

    That's funny. And so, why is she quitting? Because she's been UNDER INVESTIGATION by her own beloved state for almost a year and is costing the taxpayers money.

    Sheesh.

  • She's been under investigation because her enemies are looking for a way to take her down. But she was CLEARED of all 17 corruption charges filed against her. Didn't see that in the media much, did you? She stated that it cost her enemies nothing to file these charges, but it cost the state millions in court fees. ALL of the corruption charges were filed AFTER she became a VP nominee...interesting.

    Sheeeshh.

  • It's been all over the media 'sunsinger'. Don't play that liberal-bias crap, try checking google news.

    As for "her enemies". Again, another typical professional victim type quote. Face it, she knew more charges were coming, so she QUIT. And besides being known as more embarrassing than Dan Quayle, she'll be forever known as a QUITTER. There go her chances for any national office, as if she had a chance...

  • "Liberal-bias crap"? When over 80% of the media identifies themselves as liberal, that's a fact, not "crap". And yes, "it's been all over the media", but you didn't hear much about her being cleared of these charges (but no bias there at all). If you have proof of further charges that need investigation, I suggest you contact the Attorney General, otherwise you're just showing YOUR bias!

  • A google news search of "palin" "cleared" "charges" turns up ONE THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN articles. That's quite biased. Not. That's a fact.

    In the meantime, time for your meds dear, and hurry, or you'll be late for your anger management class.

  • I was wondering when the name-calling was going to start. Typical liberal tactic.

    Look, if you don't like Gov. Palin, great, have a good life. But you're 51 years old and your throwing down childish taunts. This tells me more about you, but doesn't really bother me. No "anger management class" required. Good day and a good life to you.

  • "I was wondering when the name-calling was going to start. Typical liberal tactic. "

    LOL!!!

  • The fact that you actually have to SEARCH it speaks for itself. I'm sure what sunsinger meant was that it wasn't talked about NEAR as much as the charges themselves were, on the news. It's like "OMG OMG there are ethics charges against Sarah! Let's bash her for it!" Then they were cleared and instead of apologizing or reporting that she's cleared, everyone kinda just shut up about it. But again, as Sarah says, even if it's corrected, the idea is still out there in people's minds now.

  • Yes, exactly!

  • A Google search isn't exactly the same as the news broadcasting that over and over and over. You don't see "FBI announces Palin is not under investigation" played on CNN every 15 minutes for a week.

    In fact many people aren't even that aware some of the books she was accused of banning weren't published yet when she was mayor of Wasilla, or that she didn't actually say "I can see Russia from my house" but that she said you can see Russia from land in Alaska... which is true.

  • The "Russia" answer was just the beginning of her downfall. The campaign knew it, McCain knew it...as did 90% of the population.

    As for 'broadcasting that over and over'...some of us don't sit in front of the tube all day long.

    Bye!

  • That was an INCREDIBLY, IDIOTIC comment. "Some of us don't sit in front of the tube all day long?" The reason the news channels play stuff all day long is NOT because they think people sit in front of it all day, it's because if it's all day long, everyone will probably see it at SOME point of the day. You don't HAVE to sit in front of the tube all day long, to know that.

  • I watched the campaign news over my lunch at work, because unlike many liberals, I hold a steady job and pay my own bills without government assistance. I also listen to talk radio in my car on occasion, read the newspaper, and come online to talk politics, watch videos and do research for maybe an hour as Im doing right now. I don't think that constitutes being in front of the tube all day. But unlike many, I know where I stand on issues and why, and who will represent me best.

  • They just don't seem to be able to understand the fact (or actually, are probably just ignoring it) that the Anchorage Daily News (VERY liberal news source who would not lie to cover Sarah as they don't like her) has released the information that she's been cleared on everything and the FBI stated they are NOT investigating her because everything turned out to be utter ridiculous bullshit. Nor do they seem to understand that she quit because the retards charging her are costing our state

  • the money, NOT Sarah herself. The claim that SHE'S costing our state money?? UTTER ridiculous, unless they are claiming she's bringing the charges against HERSELF. "Innocent until proven guilty" is obviously no longer true in this country, EVEN if it's going a step further into being proven INNOCENT... I guess she's STILL guilty. Let's all just IGNORE the fact that the charges didn't begin until she was nominated VP candidate.

  • I hope you didn't misunderstand some of my statements. Sounds like we are in agreement. Some of my posts were in response to someone else and may not have made sense if read alone.

  • Blah, blah, blah. This whole discussion is basically pointless.

    She quit. She couldn't take the heat, even if she was innocent.

    In doing so, she's ruined any chances she may have had (which are highly doubtful considering her painfully embarrassing performance during the campaign), because she'll be forever known as a quitter.

    Have a beautiful day fighting back and forth. :)

  • Exactly, because "Can't take the heat" is DEFINITELY the same thing as "sacrificing her position to save the STATE money."

    I find it hard not to laugh at how you people continue to IGNORE the issue of the state's money, as if her "taking the heat" and staying in office would have been GOOD for Alaska, and NOT completely selfish of her.

  • SHE was not the one costing the state money, the retards bringing the bogus charges against her were. Correct that she quit because she didn't want the state to have to PAY anymore of the money, but it had NOTHING to do with HER costing it. And, she most definitely DID fight corruption, in many ways. Came into office and sold the previous governor's very UNNEEDED private jet, lowered state spending significantly, and to make a VERY long story short, stood up to members of her own party (namely

  • Murkowski) who were conspiring with very corrupt oil companies and basically cheating the Alaskan people out of money that was rightfully theirs. Those are only a few examples and even some of the LIBERAL media will admit that she has fought corruption in our state. It's a documented fact. So I don't see what's so funny about it at all.

  • Just listened to your lame Im A Quitter speech. I eat too but I don't mount it, brag about it and hang it over my fireplace. Oh, and my kids, they DID wait until they got married to have kids and not for any reason other than they're SMART!!!!

  • buh-bye, dumbass

  • Sarah was serving hotdogs but she quit halfway through because she is nothin but a quitta.

  • i like palin, why does everyone hate her

  • frustrating feeling. It's like, man, I was AT this picnic listening to her words with complete and utter respect for the amazing person she is, and we were just having fun at our picnic, and then all the sudden it's up on youtube with 4,737 views and 152 comments, most of which are derogatory? That is a VERY intrusive sensation. Almost makes me wish the McCain thing wouldn't have happened so that she wouldn't have been driven to an early resignation, and we could have our Governor back.

  • the nightmarish Disney saga continues

  • APP hang ur head in shame did real jornalism die in a texas depository

  • if not in the tx depository certainly on 911

  • I wish this trailer trash would shut her yap, for once.

    QUITTER, douchebag.

  • AK > Canada -go invent the zipper again

  • The two party system is ruining this country... left and right squabbling and no real progress is being made. Slap yourself in the face and wake up. Why do you keep fighting?

    Do you want to be right or do you want to be happy?

    Washington is too big and has too much power; both parties are responsible. Reduce the size of the federal government. Get rid of the Fed. No more lobbyists. Return to strong states rights as the F****** Constitution intended it to be.

  • The only draw back sarah has is that she did not go to all those fancy colleges all the rest of our leaders have she is not a snob, she cares for people and she would more than likely listen to the people and that my friend scares the hell out of the dems..now I wonder if being from all the right colleges, and all the smartest, people we have in the house ,congress .senate, all very smart people why the hell are we so screwed up? sarah is smart and the kind of smarts she has cannot be bought..

  • Sorry, I want my Prsident to have gone to a fancy college and hope that she/he is way smarter than I am. Only idiots would be OK with idiots holdin office.

  • Are we back in kindergarten? Seems like you would grow up out of calling people names just b/c they disagree with you.

  • You are under the assumption, that going to an ivy college, proves you are smart..that is the funniest thing ive ever heard, check and see how many of the people who go to these colleges, get there by who thier parentsknow the other half get scholarships, so dont give me that crap.I would take someone with common sense any day over these so called to smart to fail crap yeah look where we are now...dont use the bush card it does not apply here just in case u do...

  • She is as thick as two short planks....and Americans are too polite to say it...I'm stunned she got on the Mcain ticket and that Obama. As CNN put it - scarily she was a 70 years olds heart beat away from the presidency...and she thought the closeness of Alaska to Russia gave her foreign policy credentials. She gave an oath to serve a 4 year term to her beloved Alaskans and after just 2 she has bailed...that tells me all I need to know....

  • She gave the oath with the mentality that her staying in office would be the best thing for Alaska. Man, that stupid Sarah, not having psychic abilities and all... she's REALLY to blame! >.> Unless you're suggesting she DID have psychic abilities and KNEW she'd get chosen as VP candidate and that she would afterward become so swamped that her time, resources, and the state's money could no longer do any good--and STILL swore her service. There's a saying you should learn: "Shit happens."

  • I love the way you preach to everyone..... I know you are still getting over the election result...the bile is evident. She could have easily gone back to work in Alaska.The truth is my friend she is too busy signing $11m book deals and promoting "Brand Palin" .she doesn't give a shit about Alaska or the electorate there. Stop making lame excuses for her.

  • stop being a damn idiot. i'm not commenting on this video any more because (a) i work too hard and have too much to do and (b) am in the process of moving, and have already made and backed up all of my points. your comments are absolutely retarded and you don't rebut what I say because you CAN'T, so you go off with your stupid, out there accusations because you can't back yourself up with fact. I'm done here, if you want to listen to reason you can read my posts from way back. bye.

  • I'm actually enjoying the fruits of my hard work and am holidaying ....I note you didn't address the FACT she is geting $11m for a book...embarassing isn't it? So she has time to write and collect millions but she has got time to do her job??? Mmmm whose the retard?

  • Once again, that would be you. The point was not that she didn't have TIME to do her job, it was that she was COSTING THE STATE MILLIONS in DEFENDING HERSELF. Resources which are NOT wasted by writing a book. Now would you PLEASE post your dumbass comments on their own instead of replies so that I will quit getting notifications in my email inbox? I'm TRYING to leave this video alone and quit wasting my time trying to convince people who WILL NOT listen. Makes it hard when you make stupid

  • comments that are actually someone NEW to the conversation. Regardless, I've given up on trying to get ANYONE to actually consider that she is a good person or look at any of the facts. After all, YOU were the one who started messaging me AGAIN after weeks of inactivity on my part. I stopped commenting for a reason, because people like you are too tunnel-minded to look at anything honestly and/or humanly, and I realized hanging out here was a waste of my time AND yours.

  • Furthermore, it's not anyone's damn business what she wants to do with her time now that she's not the governor anymore. It's not like she said "Oh, I'm gonna quit governing to write a book!!" She stepped down because she was having to waste TAXPAYERS' MONEY to defend herself and didn't think it was right to the people. If she wants to use her free time now to write a book, more power to her. Perhaps she wants to defend HERSELF for a change, in a way that won't cost ALASKA: by writing a book.

  • As opposed to staying in Alaska and continuing to cost the Alaskan people millions in taxpayer dollars to fight the ridiculous ethics complaints that surely would've been filed against her? People were just waaay out to get her to a ridiculous extent. So, of course she can't run the state that way.

  • agreed. with her "patriot" shirt and slinging grill meat, she's just a regular christian gal, who loves attention.... check out the autograph signing... don't rock stars do that?

  • As opposed to the alternative:

    "Sarah, I admire you so much! Will you sign this for me?"

    "Umm, No, I'm not a rockstar, it would look 'unprofessional' for me to sign your shirt."

    Then people would be bitching because she was "rude."

    You people really WILL find ANYTHING to bitch about, when it comes to her, won't you? AUTOGRAPH SIGNING? Oooooh, yeah... EEEEEVILLLLLL Sarah. >.>

  • Then again, I guess it makes sense, seeing as since you hate her so much it MUST drive you crazy that people love her enough to ASK for said autograph. But, you're right. She SHOULD have been a bitch and refused, anyway. *eye roll*

  • I'm not bitching or saying anything about Sarah is evil. She obviously enjoys the celebrity attention. If she's worried about people being rude because she can't say no (like you suggest) Sarah's a people pleaser, like most politicians.

    By the emotion tied to your defending her (and for the most part getting hammered for it) you're either related, work her PR or enamored by her presence. None of which sounds appealing. Just my opinion... all in fun! Sarah's a big girl and can defend herself.

  • I am not related, do not work for her PR, nor am I enamored by her presence. I simply admire her because she's a good person and HATE how people circulate rumors and lies about her, and intend to stand up for her the same way I would ANY decent person getting lied on. But hey, thanks for dissing her entire family by saying being related to her doesn't sound appealing. I'm sure her very decent husband Todd and very beautiful kids would appreciate that. Btw, you TOTALLY either MISUNDERSTOOD or

  • or took what I said totally OUT of context, because I said NOTHING about her being worried about PEOPLE being rude if SHE refused to sign autographs. I SAID, it would be completely RUDE and BITCHY of HER, TO refuse to sign autographs. She signed autographs because she's not a bitch, that doesn't make her a "people pleaser" (however if the RIGHT thing pleases people, it's always a good thing.) And if you had been lied on and hated by many, I'm sure YOU'D enjoy people admiring you too. H-U-M-A-N.

  • "You are under the assumption, that going to an ivy college, proves you are smart"

    You're right. I'm sure the people who graduate magna cum laude from Harvard Law after graduating from Columbia University are not smart at all. I'm sure people who graduate from the University of Idaho on the six year plan (after attending four other colleges) with a degree in journalism is a sure sign that somebody is a genius, though. Am I right?

  • I dont say allof them areDUMB, BUT THE FEW WE HAVE RUNNING THINGS RIGHT NOW let me see elfman coulld not do his taxes cheated but was smart enough to run our finacial system, or so we ARE TOLD. all of these ivy people are so smart,as we are told..yet all have cheated on thier taxes,and have got caught but are to smart to punish instead they get the very top positions in the present admins, you know the saying sometimes your to smart for your own good.that applys here.con't

  • The assumption is if you are smart I guess it makes you a good person trust worthy, but yet all these people do is line thier own pocket..and could care less about the people that is the way it has always been with all the smart people from your ivy colleges.thats why they go into polictics,they know they dont have to go by laws they are smart enough to make thier own..and that we have seen..the funny part they take people like you for a fool.

  • I think those are some pretty big generalizations and for the most part, inaccurate. How can you say that all the people who go to ivy league schools are only interested in lining their pockets? That's just absurd. I haven't seen any indication that Palin is trustworthy at all. She's a nepotist who appointed unqualified friends to key positions (or created positions for them). Meh. I can't even talk about her without becoming angry so I won't. She's the worst sort of opportunist.

  • I'd like to see a list of the unqualified friends to key positions. And if you think nepotist, why don't you take a look at that long list of czars that Obama has. Almost 3 dozen. Do some searching and you'll see how some all know each other as long time friends. All washing each others hands.

  • Feel free to look it up online. Google is your friend. I don't need to do your homework for you.

  • Typical response. We who defend her give specific citations and reference exactly what source the information is from, and you who bash her say "look it up." That's not how debating works. You wanna make claims, you better damn well be ready to defend them and cite your source. Otherwise, you HAVE no point. Or any basis for anything you say. I second Messenger0777's request for a list.

  • Is it really too much work for you to type "palin nepotism" or "palin cronyism" into Google if you're interested in that information? What exactly have you cited on this page? I'm not debating anybody here, I'm simply giving my opinion, just like you're giving yours. Don't give me your shit. If you're too lazy to look up information, you have nobody but yourself to blame for being the misinformed, uneducated idiot that you obviously are.

  • Go back several pages and READ the comments I left. Unless YOU'RE too lazy to do that. I can see that your brain is too tiny to grasp this concept but, I can look up "palin nepotism" all I want (and in fact have, and have found several BLOG PAGES), but that doesn't give me anything solid. If I'm GOOGLING this information and THAT is where I'm getting the information, it holds absolutely NO ground. If that's where YOU got YOUR information, again, it holds NO GROUND. If you can give me a CREDIBLE

  • source of the information, THEN we'll talk. But don't call ME that lazy one when you can't FIND a CREDIBLE source. Btw, just a little tip: in the real world, outside of your little imagination, when you're debating something, if you pull up some accusation out of your ass without any reference and then call someone asking for citation "lazy" and tell them to "look it up," you're a fucking DUMBASS, not someone with a point about anything.

  • "There was a vacancy at the top of the State Division of Agriculture, she appointed a high school classmate, Franci Havemeister, to the $95,000-a-year directorship. A former real estate agent, Ms. Havemeister cited her childhood love of cows as a qualification for running the roughly $2 million agency. Ms. Havemeister was one of at least five schoolmates Ms. Palin hired, often at salaries far exceeding their private sector wages." - Real Clear Politics and NYT

  • A schoolmate can mean a little as that they attended the same school during the same years. Not proof close relationship unless you have some more information If this link is not clear evidence of a close relationship between Ayers and Obama, being classmates is certainly not. From the liberal source of CNN:

    Put /watch?v=dvROBLortBQ after the youtube address.

  • I'm not interested in discussing Ayers and Obama with you. This is a video on Palin. If you'd like to not believe the information that I've provided, I don't care one way or the other. Links to some interesting stories about "dairygate" and the Franci Havermeister connection to Palin coming to you via personal message, if you care to read them.

  • especially when you consider that the population of Wasilla is under 10,000.. she's BOUND to have gone to school with, or known, or been acquainted with, SOME of the people she worked with and such.

  • "When Ms. Palin had to cut her first state budget, she avoided the legion of frustrated legislators and mayors. Instead, she huddled with her budget director and her husband, Todd, an oil field worker who is not a state employee, and vetoed millions of dollars of legislative projects." - continued

    How much more do you want?

  • I wasn't asking to talk to you, nor was I asking to debate you. I was stating my opinion on Palin that is easily verifiable by doing a simple Google search online. My statement Palin is a nepotist stands and now you have your information and your source. Feel free to apologize at any time.

  • Ummmm... how bout, HELL NO. Let's see, Messenger asks YOU for a list, you very CONDESCENDINGLY and RUDELY tell him/her to "look it up" and that "google is their friend," I inform you that that is NOT how this works, and that google is NOT a reliable source, YOU resort to calling me, a "misinformed, uneducated idiot." (When *I* was the one citing sources all along, yet I'm "misinformed." And I owe you an apology, HOW exactly? Btw, When the whole point I was making earlier was proving that the

  • media is BIASED, I sure as HELL don't consider the New York Times a reliable news source. It's one thing when the very liberal Anchorage Daily News releases information in FAVOR of Sarah--a liberal would not lie for her. It's a whole different story when the very liberal New York Times releases information AGAINST her; they WOULD have a reason to lie ON her. Not to mention that there are untruths in that very article. For example, as AndiusTheGreat said earlier, the "personal vendetta against

  • her brother-in-law" thing is total bullshit, as Walt Monegan was a moron and needed to be fired. Yet that rumor still exists. Case-in-point, not everything you read in the newspaper can be trusted anymore. Hell, I used to be on the staff of the newspaper of my hometown and witnessed the twisting of many truths myself, and this was just the teen sector of the newspaper of a relatively small city. I actually refused to write some of the articles Rohini (the editor) came up with because of it. It

  • happens everywhere, all the time, as if nothing is wrong at all. Just a "daily routine." Newspapers are NOT stone cold fact anymore.

  • That's your opinion and you're entitled to it.  I have no desire to debate the finer aspects of Palin's inner workings with some random person online, especially when I'm limited to 500 character text clips. You like Palin. That's fantastic. It's nice that you're passionate about it. Conversely, I think she's a profoundly stupid and dangerous individual that is a threat to all women, which is my primary reason for disliking her.

  • Messenger started in with some rant about Obama and his czars, which is why I was terse with him. Any time somebody states something negative about Palin, they immediately bring up Obama like it's some sort of contest. We're not talking about Obama here, we're talking about Palin. Then you came along and inserted your opinion telling me to cite information. This was information that was constantly in the public eye for months during the election and can be found easily online.

  • There is a definite REASON to bring Obama up when this stuff about Palin is brought up, and that reason is the profound double-standard. There are LOADS of things that can and have been dug up about Obama, yet the media never talk about it because they're in love with Obama. Yet any little thing they can say about Sarah, they're on it--MOST of which has been proven false. Sarah's pastor is considered more "dangerous" or "offensive" for being Pentecostal than Obama's for saying "God damn America"

  • and nobody sees anything wrong with it. And, most importantly, the point in the comparison lies in the repeated fact that the media cannot be trusted anymore. That's why we bring up Obama. Because if you couldn't trust the media to report fairly on both sides, to tell you the dirt on HIM that you didn't know, then HOW can you trust them to report fairly and bring accurate information about Sarah? You CAN'T. Journalism is NOT what it used to be. Everyone has an opinion and people go to dangerous

  • lengths to push their own opinions on others, EVEN if their job is to REPORT FACT and NOT opinion. Yes, there's room for COMMENTARY in the news, but when all you're doing is going hardcore for/against someone so much that you withhold information for your own cause, that's TOO FAR and that does NOT belong in news "coverage." So yes, bringing Obama into it is entirely appropriate; it proves they cannot be trusted for factual information about Sarah, either.

  • Anyway, I'm going to bed. Nice talking with you.

  • Well, I'll make one last comment. I AM passionate about my respect and admiration for Sarah Palin. There is a REASON it hits close to home when the whole world seems to hate her. The media bashed the hell out of her and made all of these people around the country think she's a retard, and most of the people here in Alaska who actually know her anad have been around her, her family, and know her character, are frustrated at the false portrayal. It's frustrating that the general public now thinks

  • she's a retard, when they never would have known she even existed if she hadn't been chosen for VP candidate. WE know what she has done for our state and MOST of us (not all, but MOST) cannot help but to be grateful to her. WE know she is a strong and beautiful person who deserves respect and it feels like the rest of the country, who only get glimpses of her through distant, third party sources, are almost "trespassing" or something, on land that they don't actually KNOW. So to speak. It would

  • be like, if some government official of your state, who you have known about way before the US did, suddenly got thrust into the public spotlight and then made a few blunders, and then those few blunders were twisted WAYYY out of control and magnified 100x (while the blunders of others were ignored), and as a result everyone thought that person that YOU had spent time around and were familiar with, was an idiot, and YOU knew otherwise because YOU aren't just the "outside looking in." It's a

  • Comment removed

  • Hmm, Fox seems to bring up quite a bit on Obama, and did so extensively during the campaigns. Or do you not consider that to be the media? Palin was attacked unfairly, but the reason she was attacked is she was simply not qualified for the position of VP. She handled interviews poorly and seemed coached. She coupled that with her provincial "folksy" approach to politics which clashed with the perception of how people perceived somebody who is a step away from being President to be. /shrug

  • I consider Fox the media, however, they are THE one out of MANY news channels, who actually DO bring up things about Obama. They aren't mainstream media, in the sense that only conservatives seem to watch Fox for the most part. Most every liberal I have met accuse Fox of being the "crazy right wing" therefore never watch it. Fox brings up facts on BOTH sides, so they should NOT be labeled that way, but they are. Therefore most of those under their voice are people who are already anti-Obama.

  • By the way, I apologize for calling you an idiot. Palin brings out the worst in me and I should probably avoid watching her videos in the first place. No hard feelings, k?

  • Fox always brags about having higher ratings, but somehow they arent the media? You people on the right are a bizarre bunch.

  • Well, if you had even a decent set of mathematical skills, it would be QUITE easy for you to figure out, and not so "bizarre" after all.

    Let's see, on the RIGHT, as far as news channels go, we have:

    Fox news.

    On the left:

    MSNBC, CNN, and ABC.

    And then, kinda in between but some argue they are on the left, CBS.

    And I'm probably leaving SOMETHING out but still, this is enough for the point.

    Fox is GOING to have higher ratings than any ONE other source, because the conservatives all watch

  • Fox, but the liberals are all split up as to who they watch because there are SO many non-right wing news channels.

    Now, I consider Fox as a network to be on the right, because some of their shows (Like Glen Beck for instance) make that very clear. But as far as their actual NEWS reporting, they report very fairly and reveal things on both sides. So I think more people SHOULD watch fox, regardless of left/right. But that doesn't happen. They have highest ratings because the REST of the media

  • is split. And that's why I don't actually consider fox "mainstream media" in that sense. Because again, the people listening to them are usually going to be the ones who ALREADY like Sarah OR are against Obama (or both), NOT the people who have been lied to about Sarah and had facts about Obama withheld from them.

  • I've read your comments and I see no reference to any outside source of information.

  • Google search

    "once hired palin hired friends"

    for the entire article

  • Those reports often fail to mention that in a town with just under 5,000 people, it would be quite difficult not to hire someone with whom she either knew or attended high school. The stories also make no mention or cast similar allegations regarding such behavior during her tenure as governor. Tthe only people she replaced at the state level were people who were going to be leaving with the change of administration anyway. She brought in new people, but no accusations of nepotism went with her

  • Duh....If I searched info on Obama the same way you do on Palin I'd end up with 3 times as many negative results and an over flow of all sorts of conspiracy new world order stuff. If you did your own home work youd see she did better then any other governor in the 57 states. Uh did I say 57 states? Oh no thats Obama that said that. Must be, its all over Google..

  • Ya really don't have to look anything up to know she's a dimwit. Just listen to her talk or read that speech she wrote. It's not her answers to questions that are a problem, it's that she clearly doesn't understand the questions she's asked frequently. She doen'st have the mind for the job of Vice President, even Levi Johnston knows it, lol.

  • I agree, Wolffanator. Palin is an idiot. Source: Pretty much everything she says. Need proof? Her resignation speech was a prime example of this. Even commentators on Fox were like, what the fuck?

  • And thankfully, she did the right thing, which was to leave office. With any luck, she's gone for good, though somehow I doubt it.

  • The Ivy league schools have become so corrupt that a degree from same only means that you are thoroughly indoctrinated in liberal, pagan, socialist, democrat B.S.

  • Congratulations, sir. You have officially made the most idiotic comment of the day, this day, July 27th, 2009.

    Tell me, how exactly does one teach pagan geology? How does socialism influence chemistry? How does a course in molecular biology teach students to become "thoroughly indoctrinated in liberal, pagan, socialist, democrat B.S."?

    There are just as many conservatives that go to ivy league colleges, like Bush, for example. Your argument is epic failure.

  • You teach pagan geology (or biology, anthropology, etc) by censoring out the truth about God's design and replacing the truth with pagan lies such as Darwinism. To say that the percentage of students at Harvard and Yale is equally divided between liberal and conservative is just ignorant of the facts.

  • LOL you're a fucking idiot.

  • Wow, what an incisive point! The debate ends here bc your profound assertions are just too hard to refute.

  • When you make a statement like "You teach pagan geology by censoring out the truth about God's design and replacing the truth with pagan lies such as Darwinism", there is really no point in arguing with you. You're anti-logic, anti-reason and anti-education. Go fuck your bible.

  • In other words, you lack the vocabulary, debating skills, and knowlege base to offer cogent points. C'mon, Marine, adapt!

  • Hardly. I'm simply not going to waste my time arguing with somebody who thinks that Darwinism is a "pagan lie" and believes that the sciences taught in world-class universities are "socialist, pagan, liberal B.S.". You're clearly a young-earther, fundamentalist Christian, and think modern science is a hoax.  Why waste my time? Nothing I tell you is going to change your viewpoint.

  • Back when I was an Darwinist;/secularist/evolutio­nist, what caused me to change to a creationist was seeing the ample evidence that supported Genesis. So,if you have some irrefutable evidence of macro evolution, I am all ears. But, it has to be obvious and simple bc I am just a simple jarhead.

  • After Palin embarrassed herself and the Republican party in the last election, I made a point of changing my political affiliation from registered Republican to registering as an independent for the first time in my life. As long as Republicans continue to champion stupidity and insist on entwining themselves irrevocably with the Christian right, then they will fail. They will not receive support from the Beltway and they won't receive support from moderates and independents.

  • Yep, if we serve the Lord, the beltway will hate us. But, God will bless us....and that is all that matters.

  • Palin haters sure are odd. Out of one side of their mouth, they claim she is dumb, an "empty skirt", airhead, etc. Then, out the other side of their mouth, they spew the most intense and frantic rage. Why would they be so terrified of a harmless dolt? .....unless.....

  • Raw Comment: I say good riddance on Youtube comment board. That "harmless dolt" spewed some of the worst hate-fueled filth I've ever heard in a major political campaign. I'm terrified that a bunch of redneck morons put her one old-man heart attack from nuclear missile codes. The GOP could have chosen from a million different intelligent and sophisticated women and instead chose a moron who enjoys shooting wolves from a helicopter.

  • Another oddity: Palin haters are so full of righteous indignation b/c Palin shot wolves from a helicopter, but they see nothing wrong with killing a newborn baby who survives an abortion.

  • Great point...

  • Yet another oddity about liberals: They 'thumbs down" anybody they disagree with when that feature is only supposed to be used to censor hate or vulgar comments. Liberals can't win debates on a level playing field with a free exchange of ideas, so they resort to fascist censorship.

  • She didn't call him a terrorist; she said he consorted with terrorists. That is true if you know your facts. He was friends with Ayers who is a convicted terrorist, no matter how hard he tried to deny that fact. Walt Monegan is a moron. I've sat in a community council with about a dozen people and heard him speak and firing him was a good choice. (Because of character limit I wont go into that)

  • I'm sure that you are aware that he is also a professor at the University of Illinois. The man is not a recluse so he's bound to be "consorting" with somebody. I can hardly believe that all those he has educated has ever thought to take terrorist action, so it's foolish to debase an individual with the loose associations that he had with Obama.

    She used fear mongering to the best of her ability, however every negative comment about her is hate speech and such.

    Keep hypocrisy alive, Sarah.

  • And the bribes story is bull crap. She did not take bribes but people looking for a reason to hate someone will always find one. The fact is that there is far more to dig up on Obama but the media goes out of their way to make every lie about Palin seem plausible or feed misconceptions because they are liberal and hate true conservatives.

  • Whatever kind of politician Sarah turns out to be, there is one inescapable fact... shes a decent, intelligent, good person. She may not be "smart" enough to be a good politician, but good politicians are nearly always bad people. She espouses what Americans should be- good people, good parents, not afraid to take on challenges and difficulties, and willing to listen to others while thinking for themselves.

  • "Decent, intelligent, good person" - calling your opponent a terrorist and a communist in order to win votes by frightening idiots. I don't think Americans "should be" people who abuse their political office to satisfy a personal vendetta against a disliked brother-in-law or people who take bribes in the form free home renovations.

  • I really love how all of us who are defending her are bringing forth hard facts and not getting any responses to those facts, and all the people bashing her are just stating stupid, obviously uninformed opinions, and slinging insults at her, like "she's bringing down the republican party" and "she's such a joke" and "she's so dumb." I don't argue against her being a joke... the sad thing is she IS a joke to so many people... but only because of the media dipshits taking stuff out of context.

  • If the people of America could see the real picture here, the real, intelligent, strong, confident, beautiful person who is Sarah Palin... she wouldn't be "a joke" to anyone. Too bad, all people have seen of her are cut and spliced videos in the media, and rumors gone out of control. Man, it must be easy to not think for yourself...

  • Would this be the same media she used ostensibly as often as she possibly could to lead people to come so close as to believe Obama is building bombs with Ayers in his spare time?

    She is no better than the next person who would step on someone's face to get ahead. She is leaving office now because she is on the wrong end of the shoe.

  • Palin is a joke. I love her though. As long as she stays in the spotlight, all she is doing is hurting the Republicans. You betcha!

  • Ethicsgate, Obama and the dems direct links to the effort to destroy Sarah Palin. Jeanne Devon of Alaska can tell you all about it.

  • Obama and the Democrats don't need to destroy Palin. She's shown that she is perfectly capable of doing that herself.

  • You are correct, they did't need to but they did try, hard. Now she is free to write a book, collect millions and then ............ who knows.................. it worked for Owebama!!!!!

  • Palin 2012-2013!!!!!!!!!

  • And this is the Republican's choice for their next canidate? A quiter never wins. Such a joke, ha,ha,ha!!! Bye, see ya, wouldn't want to be ya. Ha, ha, ha!!!

  • Buh-bye, Sarah. Be sure and let the door hit you on the way out.

  • This is the future of the Rep. Party!!! Bye bye Rep. party. I am glad this dumb woman is finally gone, what a joke

  • Say what you want she is the best hope the the cons. pretty funny eh?

  • Sarah, you are the reason why John McLain lost the election. You were chosen to capture the female vote and it was the worst backfire the G.O.P ever sustained.Have a nice life and do everyone a favor by never coming back into politics again.

  • John McLain? If you don't even know how to pronounce his name properly, OBVIOUSLY you didn't do any reading of anything at all before casting your uninformed vote. Though I hope to God you are still too young to vote and will wise up some.

  • Good riddance. Thanks for dragging the whole Republican party down with you.

  • I can see the end of her career from my front porch.

  • I sure hope you're correct, but I think there are too many stupid people in this country that continue to admire her. It's a sad situation.

  • Good riddens to bad rubbish...

  • For those Palin cultists who continually bash the "liberals" and "liberal media" :

    How the hell do you explain the fact that Palin's sharpest decline in popularity post-election has been among independents and white evangelicals?

  • Good riddance Palin. If the best way for you to help "your people" is to quit your job, then that says more than enough about you and your politics. Get out, stay out, and go back to fishing, or whatever it is that's recreational for you.

  • I 2nd that. She's a douchebag and anyone who defends her is as poisonous as she is. Being a quitter is not going to make all the criminal charges being brought against her go away.

    Right-wingers love hypocrisy more than there own mothers, that's why their leaders are always getting caught with their pants down, stealing and whoring while lecturing everyone about family values. That's why they always lose in the end.

    Right-wingers spout nonsense; they know it drives some people crazy.

  • So do you enjoy spouting uninformed crap or are you knowingly spreading lies? If you read an even half decent news source you would know that the FBI publicly announced they are NOT investigating Sarah Palin, and that the rumor they are is purely that, a rumor.

    Personally I think what is poisonous is the media filling your meager little mind full of idiotic opinions based on the coverage they choose to give you designed to turn you into a typical uninformed liberal voter.

  • Furthermore, pretty much every ethics complaint against Sarah Palin has already been proven baseless. Regardless, it has cost our state an insane amount of money and the Palin family 500 thousand in legal expenses.

    The fact that people are abusing our legal system to waste so much of our states money because they do not like our democratically elected governor sickens me.

    I believe if you support such actions you are not worthy to live in a democracy won by the lives of our troops.

  • I live in a state with a two term governor who has never had an ethics violation aimed at him. I find it amazing that you can justify all these "false" claims against a woman that couldn't even finish one. Open your eyes.
