Palin Campaign Emails Show How Silly She Is

The McCain campaign was going over a cliff. Sarah Palin had her pumps on the accelerator. Remember Todd Palin’s flirtation with the secessionist Alaska Independence Party (and Sarah Palin’s video officially celebrating their cause)?

“That’s not part of their platform and he was only a ‘member’ bc independent alaskans too often check that ‘Alaska Independent’ box on voter registrations thinking it just means non partisan,” Palin wrote. “He caught his error when changing our address and checked the right box. I still want it fixed.”

Palin was attempting to bend the facts ever so slightly to fit neatly into her version of events. In truth, the box that Alaskans have the option of checking when registering to vote states the full name of the party, “Alaskan Independence Party,” not “Alaska Independent,” which would make an error by uncommitted voters more plausible.

Clearly irritated by what he saw as Palin’s attempt to mislead her own campaign and apparently determined to demonstrate that the ultimate authority rested with him, Schmidt put the matter to rest once and for all with a longer response to everyone in the e-mail chain.

“Secession,” he wrote. “It is their entire reason for existence. A cursory examination of the website shows that the party exists for the purpose of seceding from the union. That is the stated goal on the front page of the web site. Our records indicate that todd was a member for seven years. If this is incorrect then we need to understand the discrepancy. The statement you are suggesting be released would be innaccurate. The innaccuracy would bring greater media attention to this matter and be a distraction. According to your staff there have been no media inquiries into this and you received no questions about it during your interviews. If you are asked about it you should smile and say many alaskans who love their country join the party because it speeks to a tradition of political independence. Todd loves his country

We will not put out a statement and inflame this and create a situation where john has to adress this.”

If I were writing a book about the McCain campaign in 2008 I would have to call it “What The F**** Was John Thinking?”

    You know who I have not heard from in some time? Joe the Plumber… I wonder how that mascot is embarrassing himself these days.

  2. Secessionist loving Republican “Palin Campaign Emails” Show How’ her pathological lying fits perfectly with the right wing’s world view that ‘bending facts to fit their version of events’ is okay if you are a Republican.

    Republican Sarah Palin, The Right Wing’s Queen, A Lying Sack Of

  3. “Joe the Plumber… I wonder how that mascot is embarrassing himself these days.”

    God told Sam “Joe” Wurzelbacher not to run for office.

    Apparently he had a better connection than Sarah.

    Can you hear me now?

    Palin/Wurzlebacher 2012!

  4. Repack Rider says:

    What if she were to get the 2012 nomination? Then Obama would have to debate her and stuff and OMG there’s no way he could win without cheating or ACORN or something.

  5. ““What The F**** Was John Thinking?””

    Republican John McCain was thinking like a craven power seeking politician.

    Republican Palin was supposed to energize right wing religious fanatics, win over angry Hillary Pumas, and revitalize a decrepit campaign.

    And to do that Republican McCain was willing to pick a shallow, dishonest, manipulative running mate who glorified ignorance and hatefulness.

    It was cynical and showed a contempt for both serious statesmanship and our American nation.

    Republican McCain sold US out.

    And I’m speaking as someone who regularly defended McCain a couple of years ago.

  6. Repack Rider says:

    I’m speaking as someone who regularly defended McCain a couple of years ago.

    I’m proud to say that my opinion of him has never changed. He is the doofus I always thought he was. Okay, maybe more of a doofus than I was willing to give him credit for, but I got the doofus part right, and the rest was just a matter of degree.

  7. I’m speaking as someone who regularly defended McCain a couple of years ago.

    Republican McCain suckered me.

    Corporate media pushing positive Republican McCain stories suckered me as well.

    I have a friend who, every time I defended McCain, would say, ‘I don’t think he’s who you think he is.’

    They were right. So were you.

    Somewhere around the end of 2007 I started reading a LOT about Republican John McCain and was appalled.

    Nearly everything about Republican John McCain is a lie.

    About the only true thing about Republican McCain is that he’s about the best Republican out there. Which after reading so much about McCain, really doesn’t speak well for the other Republicans.

    RepubliCon-Artist Party.

  8. bryan says:

    Nearly on topic: does anyone think that Joe Biden will bow out as VP? I say this because he’s a bit too old to try to succeed Obama in 7 years time (assuming etc.). So he could step down either before or after the next election (assuming etc.) thus giving a younger person a shot at the dem ticket in 2016.

  9. As much as Obama might like to ‘appoint’ his successor, I’d prefer another primary process.

    Who would you like to see as the Democratic Presidential Candidate?

    That very last quote of hers from the Runner’s World interview is a gem.

    About Title IX, Parthy? What was wrong with that?

    I’m so thankful for Title IX allowing equal access to these opportunities, and I’m a huge proponent of girls being able to realize what they’re made of by participating in sports, and whatever I can do there I’m going to be doing.

    Why is that a ‘gem’? Honestly, surprised you’d take exception to that.

  12. Parthenon says:

    My mistake amigo. Should have said the last Runner’s World quote ‘quoted in the CBS piece:’

    “Alaska would be hard to give up because it is such a part of who I am. So much of my life revolves around the great outdoors that that would be kind of tough,” Palin said. “But on the other hand, I think of being in D.C. and in a position to promote physical fitness and the benefits of making good decisions health-wise and being an example to others, and I know that could do some good for our country.”

    The ‘being in D.C.’ part… Run your state for a few years. For goodness sakes.

    The ‘promoting physicial fitness’ part… Wasn’t the president just savaged on talk radio a few weeks back for the very same thing?

    1. Make government open and transparent.
    2. Make it “impossible” for Congressmen to slip in pork barrel projects.
    3. Meetings where laws are written will be more open to the public. (Even Congressional Republicans shut out.)
    4. No more secrecy.
    5. Public will have 5 days to look at a bill.
    6. Youll know whats in it.
    7. We will put every pork barrel project online.

    Lets see, 1-7…..FAIL

    I am curious, how many of you lefties are having buyers remorse? Just 3.5 more years to completely FAIL at each and every campaign promise…I think he can do it, how about you?

    Usual,

    Instead of complaining about what Oliver chooses to post on his own blog, while hanging out and reading it and obsessively commenting I might add, why don’t you start your own blog, and post on it all the more worthwhile subjects, and then make sure you enable comments, so we can all stop by, mmmkay? Then the free market in ideas would show Oliver who’s boss, right?

    Here is a subject you might start your blog with. The reason conservatives are so obsessed with Oliver is because they fear him: true, or truer?

  18. joaquin says:

    McCain! Why are you guys talking about Mr. Irrelevant??

    What’s the next topic? G. Bush?

    Let me give you a couple of topics:
    9.7% unemployment.
    Soldiers dying in Iraq and Afghanistan.
    Nukes in Iran and N. Korea.
    Rigged W. House news conferences.
    GM sales in the toilet.
    A deficit that’s in the trillions.
    A US business community that is pulling out of the US
    Broke state governments.
    Oil and commodity prices on an upward spike.
    Rampant inflation expected in 2-3 years.

    Have ya heard enough? ;-)

  19. ‘I am curious, how many of you lefties are having buyers remorse? Just 3.5 more years to completely FAIL at each and every campaign promise…I think he can do it, how about you?’

    Considering your alternative was McCain/Palin, you’re hardly in a position to suggest you’ve got a better option on the Right.

  20. ‘Let me give you a couple of topics:

    ALL of which you can indisputably prove began on January 20, 2009?

  21. Palin remains a truly farcical figure; unaware or unconcerned about her utter inability to immerse herself in global politics, or her total indifference to same, has made her complete lack of credibility both obvious and pathetic.

    Listening to those on the Right who are still enamored with her attempt to rationalize their unfathomable belief that this mental amoeba can somehow resurrect her tawdry, tattered reputation is akin to the band aboard the Titanic taking requests for their next set.

  22. joaquin says:

    jrfunkenstein said – “Palin remains a truly farcical figure; unaware or unconcerned about her utter inability to immerse herself in global politics, or her total indifference to same, has made her complete lack of credibility both obvious and pathetic”

    Funny how if you replace Palin with Obama, the description remains the same.

  23. Dennis says:

    Barack Obama: Sarah Palin Just Didn’t Have the Time That I Had to Prepare for National Office

    “As I said ten times during the campaign, Barack Obama is just Sarah Palin plus six months of briefing books and town halls.”

    What, you mean Obama’s reaction to Palin wasn’t “hahaheee, I will crush this mental midget with the back part of my massive brain while the front part is solving the middle east crisis”?

    Wilbur, you just said on the other thread that you didn’t think she was stupid, now you’re calling her a mental midget. And Bam’s massive brain isn’t doing any of us a whole lot of good right now to change the jobs picture.

  28. Duros62 says:

    WOW, nobody’s defending Hopey-Changey……and it’s only been 6 months. BWAAAA HA HA!!!!!

  30. ‘Funny how if you replace Palin with Obama, the description remains the same.’

    Of course; Obama is a mental lightweight that has continually embarrassed himself on the public stage by consistently illustrating his monumental ignorance of domestic and world affairs, has refused to acknowledge it and continues to pretend he’s not dividing his party with an utter lack of awareness of how insignificant he is.

    What’s funny is that you BELIEVE they’re on the same level.

  31. Quaker in a Basement says:

    WOW, nobody’s defending Hopey-Changey……and it’s only been 6 months. BWAAAA HA HA!!!!!

    You know, for a bunch of people who spent eight solid years whining “But Bush inherited a recession!” you sure do expect quick results.

    Face facts. Your party was a disaster for this country. It’s going to take a while to fix it.

  32. ‘“As I said ten times during the campaign, Barack Obama is just Sarah Palin plus six months of briefing books and town halls.”’

    And a Constitutional law degree from one of the most prestigious Colleges in the US, a successful Senatorial campaign and the most successful Presidential campaign in US political history.

    Palin? Not so much.

  33. ‘WOW, nobody’s defending Hopey-Changey……and it’s only been 6 months. BWAAAA HA HA!!!!!’

    Riiighhhht….and you’re still defending Bomby-Failey McCain/Palin; even 6 months after they got their asses kicked.

    Still can’t re-animate Reagan’s zombie corpse huh?

  34. Quaker in a Basement says:

    Seriously, did you have to reference some sort of stone tablet to get to news this old?

    Stone tablet? No, today’s newspapers, Peed’. Despite the fact that the GOP ticket washed out 8 whole months ago, campaign insiders are still fighting their intramural wars and dishing to the press about each other.

    Why is that, Peed’?

  35. Dennis says:

    Face facts. Your party was a disaster for this country. It’s going to take a while to fix it.

    Quibbie, Gibbsy said Obama owns the economy now. The buck stops with him.

    He’s a big boy now, he has a constitutional law degree from one of the most prestigious Colleges in the US, a successful Senatorial campaign and the most successful Presidential campaign in US political history. It’s ok for you guys to criticize him now. The buck stops at his desk, and I think we all know that dissent is patriotic, even with a Democratic president and even on the Fourth of July weekend.

  36. Amused Observer says:

    LOL,
    Obama is a bullshit artist. His campaign was based on him appearing to be all things to all people. People voted for him for several reasons. People were sick of the war. Bush way overestimated the stomach of the American people to do what’s hard.

    Bush had terrible press and he didn’t fight back enogh. He was ruthlessly betrayed by the Democrats shameful almost treasonous behavior.

    Too many white people foolishly feel guilty about blacks and wanted to lay thier guilt trip to rest.

    The Republicans ran a weak field on top of a poor track record of not doing what they were put there to do.

    Now Obama has been lying as long as he has been campaigning. The press never calls him on it. He hangs out with racist whackjob nuts and the press never calls him on it.

    He is a rank amatuer who insults our friends and kisses our enemies ass.

    The world sees him as weak. They didn’t like Bush but they knew he was strong.

    He took a recession and is trying to turn it into a depression. He has all but guarenteed big time inflation and is actively trying to cripple our economy to make recovery all the more harder.

    He has actively promoted socialism and if he gets his way he is going to ruin the healthcare for the vast majority of Americans who have it now.

    It will be much harder for him next time around. His charactor will be much more fleshed out. He is going to be starting to take ownership of the taxes he’s raised, and the immense deficits he’s spawned. Everything you buy will cost more because of his ridiculous carbon scheme coupled with general inflation.

    I don’t know who will run against him but somebody good can take him. It might even be Hillary. Or Sarah.

    You liberals just don’t understand how far out of touch you are with normal people. The undecided 1/3 swung your way last time around. They’ll swing back sooner or later. The ideas of liberal government are literally bankrupt. Look at California, that is what liberalism does to a government. Runs it into the ground until there is no money left at all.

  37. Quaker in a Basement says:

    It’s ok for you guys to criticize him now. The buck stops at his desk,

    As usual Dennis, either by design or disability, you have missed the point.

    Of course the buck stops at Mr. Obama’s desk. He is the President. Nobody claims otherwise. Nevertheless, only the numbest of numbskulls imagines that the economic troubles we’re now experiencing began within the last six months or will be repaired in the next six. I think the steps taken so far are appropriate and will ultimately prove effective in easing an economic meltdown that might have been far worse.

    I merely point out that these very same numbskulls understood this reality clearly for eight years, then quickly forgot everything they once knew as soon as a Democrat drew so much as a single breath in the rarified air of the Oval Office.

  38. Quaker in a Basement says:

    You liberals just don’t understand how far out of touch you are with normal people.

    So true. But we’re solidly in touch with the abnormal 62 percent who approve of the job Mr. Obama is doing.

  39. Quaker in a Basement says:

    The ideas of liberal government are literally bankrupt. Look at California, that is what liberalism does to a government.

    No, that is what a Republican dominated legislature does to a government.

  40. Quaker in a Basement says:

    See how this works?

    California has had Republican governors for 30 of the past 42 years, going all the way back to the first term of St. Ronald. Obama has been president for six months.

    Yet the failures of government in California and nationally are the fault of “liberal” government.

  41. Amused Observer says:

    Quaker,
    you misunderstand the demographics, 1/3 of the people are you. 1/3 are me. 1/3 float. They floated your way because of white guilt and republican fatique. Next time around they won’t feel quite so guilty and might feel a little angry.

    It’s hardly a Republican dominated legistlature in Cali. They have spent themselves into the ground. 8th largest economy in the world and they spent every last bit of the uncommitted money right into the ground.

  42. Amused Observer says:

    Hey Funk,
    You certainly left the impression that you’re another Canadian with nothing better to do than meddle in our affairs, is that true?

  43. Quaker in a Basement says:

    It’s hardly a Republican dominated legistlature in Cali.

    Oh really? I suppose it’s the harbor seals who continually block the passage of a sane state budget?

  44. Quaker in a Basement says:

    They floated your way because of white guilt

    Playing the race card, AO? How totally un-colorblind of you.

  45. Duros62 says:

    You liberals just don’t understand how far out of touch you are with normal people. The undecided 1/3 swung your way last time around. They’ll swing back sooner or later.

    Now we know what bi-polar disorder looks like in print.

  46. Duros62 says:

    You liberals just don’t understand how far out of touch you are with normal people.

    How fucking “normal” can 23-27% of the population be?

  47. Quaker in a Basement says:

    How fucking “normal” can 23-27% of the population be?

    As normal as Dick Cheney!

  48. Quaker in a Basement says:

    you misunderstand the demographics, 1/3 of the people are you. 1/3 are me. 1/3 float. They floated your way because of white guilt and republican fatique.

    Is the floating third part of the “normal people” we’re out of touch with?

  49. Duros62 says:

    As normal as Dick Cheney!

    Yikes. Another moral scold who wants to see another attack on American soil.

  50. Militant white supremacist “Amused Observer’s” rants are becoming increasingly unhinged and increasingly threatening.

    It’s hard to tell if “Amused Observer” is suffering from delusions or is just trolling by trying to pack as many lies into one post as he can.

    “Bush way overestimated the stomach of the American people to do what’s hard.”

    Republican President Bush was on vacation more than any President in America’s history. And that was DURING A TIME OF WAR.

    When Republican Bush started his wars he asked the American people to go shopping.

    Republican Bush, DURING A TIME OF WAR, gave tax cuts to the richest in America.

    Republican Bush was poorly informed to start with and never did the ‘hard work’ to even meagerly inform himself.

    And right wingers celebrated Republican Bush’s ignorance as strength just as right wingers are celebrating the lazy ignornance of Republican Sarah Palin.

    Nevertheless, only the numbest of numbskulls imagines that the economic troubles we’re now experiencing began within the last six months or will be repaired in the next six.

    Only “the numbest of numbskulls” would say things have gotten better.

  52. Republicans drove the economy off a cliff and during the free-fall handed the keys to a Democratic leader and then blamed Republican recklessness on him.

  53. Right wing fiction writer “Amused Observer”:
    “Bush had terrible press and he didn’t fight back enogh [sic].”

    Republican Bush had the most sycophantic press since Republican President Ronald “Can’t Remember” Reagan.

  54. Ruthless right wing extremist “Amused Observer”:
    “He [Bush] was ruthlessly betrayed by the Democrats shameful almost treasonous behavior.”

    Right wing extremist “Amused Observer”, who has NO loyalty to America, who doesn’t even have loyalty to his own son, is a twisted one to talk about ‘ruthless betrayal’ and “treasonous behavior”.

    “Amused Observer” is the guy who has sympathy for terrorists, thinks war is the first solution, hints that a ‘final solution’ is the answer, and supports rhetoric of a “military coup” in America.

    THAT’S “treasonous behavior”.

  55. SaveFarris says:

    Republican Bush had the most sycophantic press since Republican President Ronald “Can’t Remember” Reagan.

    of course you make this laughable claim on the same day that the Washington Post Announces it’s plan to literally whore itself to the Obama administration.

    Thank you for being so self-refuting!

  56. The right of center Washington Post has more right wing neo-cons working for it than the right wing Weakly Standard.

    Republican Bush had FOX and all of Murdoch’s other media holdings pushing Republican fictions. Republican Bush had CNBC, the full morning of MSNBC, NBC’s Russert was a right wing sycophant, even CBS’s Schieffer was a right wing sycophant, CBS’s Katie Couric handed over the CBS Evening News to right wing extremist Rush Limbaugh. Even ABC was pushing Republican fictions right before the 2004 election.

    Right wing radio controls, what, 8 out of 9?, 9 out of 10? of the talk radio stations in the country?

    Most of the major newspapers are owned by right wingers and Republicans.

    So, yes, Republican Bush had the most sycophantic press since Republican President Ronald “Can’t Remember” Reagan.

  57. Jaim says:

    On the one hand, I can’t wait for her to run for president and get absolutely annihilated. On the other hand, it’s clear she won’t be able to even win the GOP nomination, which is too bad. I’d love to see Obama win a 70/30 decision.

  58. Dennis says:

    So, yes, Republican Bush had the most sycophantic press since Republican President Ronald “Can’t Remember” Reagan.

    Left-wing militant terrorist “News” “Reference” has an incurable inferiority complex. Seems the faction he’s come around to joining after being suckered in by corporate media dominators who controlled his brainwaves is the persecuted party in his mind. Ignores the fact that 8 out of 9 journalists in the media are liberal. Ignores study after study and survey after survey confirming such.

    Left-wing loon “News” “Reference” thinks his mind is controlled by alien beings from Mars, and those alien beings are sycophants of George Bush and the Republican Party.

    Left-Wing cartoon character “News” “Reference”is on Janet Napolitano’s left-wing terrorist watch list for possible meltdown terrorist acts against the country.

  59. Burn says:

    What was McCain thinking when picking Palin as VP? He wasn’t. What a careless, sophomoric klutz move that was.

    He thought he could siphon off some of the disgruntled Hilary voters. That’s what’s really amusing about Republicans. They just react to situations in an impulsive manner, without really thinking through the consequences. Was Sarah REALLY the best pick he could have made? Fuck no, but man I was so relived when he did pick her. I was actually worried he’d pick someone competent and knowledgeable to be his running mate. Should have picked Mitt.

    They saw Hilary was making a strong impression on people, so they go, here, we have a woman too! She’s just like Hilary, because she’s a woman!

    And guess what? Women all across the country saw through the bullshit. They knew it was a panicked, desperate move to try and pander to them, thinking that just because crusty ol’ McCain picked a woman, that they would magically flock to the GOP side.

    Can you believe that shit? They really thought that would work!
    And as soon as the Thrilla from Wasilla opened her mouth, well, it was all downhill from there (save for the rallies, where Sarah really excited the bitter, impotent, angry white men in ways they didn’t know were possible, but here’s a clue, that won’t win no ‘lections for ya)

  60. Matthew Hooper says:

    What’s amusing, in a ghastly sort of way, is that Palin was an attempt by Republicans to think the way they think Democrats think.

    Republicans are convinced that Democrats play “identity politics” – that the race and gender of a candidate trumps issues and character.

    So when they tried to poach Democratic voters, they showed them what they thought they wanted. And it failed utterly.

    Maybe a little “empathy” might be in order next time, guys…

  61. Dennis says:

    Burned-

    Not one original thought in that whole long diatribe. Not one thing you said that wasn’t said by a thousand liberal blog commenters back in October.

    I imagine you’ll be making the same posts several more times by this coming October and probably the next October after that. Such is your nature.

  62. “Dennis”, have you ever thought through your support of the right wing?

    Seriously.

    Most of the right wingers here usually have some reason to support the right wing.

    For some right wingers it’s just about the money and power (free market cultists, libertarian ‘freedom without responsibility’ folk, right wingers who figure they’ve got theirs screw anyone else).

    For other right wingers it’s a belief in a certain set of social values (guns, God, gays, and abortion).

    But a lot of right wingers just seem suckered by the idea of Republicanism without having actually thought through the right wing’s ideas or the consequences of enacting those ideas.

    What right wing ideas do you support, “Dennis”?

    And have you really thought them through?

  63. SaveFarris says:

    Newsy is funny! To wit:

    * MSNBC giving it’s least viewed time slot to a former Republican operative proves they’re 100% conservative!
    * NBC’s former head of news worked for a Democrat proves … The entire network is conservative!!
    * CBS forging documents in order to smear a Republican proves … They hate Democrats!!!
    * ABC having their lead show hosted by a former Clinton staffer (and having their former employees currently employed by Obama and hosting his infomercials) means … They bend over for Republicans!!!!
    * CNN uncritically repeating Saddam’s propaganda means … They uncritically repeat Bush’s propaganda!!!!!

  64. Bruce Henry says:

    “Not one original thought in that whole long diatribe.”

    Says Dennis, who I guess invented the term “porkulus” and the whole “Biden has foot-in-mouth disease” talking point.

  65. Dennis says:

    “Dennis”, have you ever thought through your support of the right wing?

    Seriously.

    Full stop right there, Newsie. When have you ever been serious here? Why should anyone treat you with any seriousness?

    Give just one reason.

    Seriously.

  66. Dennis says:

    Says Dennis, who I guess invented the term “porkulus” and the whole “Biden has foot-in-mouth disease” talking point.

    Huh?? You think I invented those terms? You give me too much credit, Bruce. That’d be like me giving you credit for inventing Trig Trutherism.

    You’re not still the same Andrew Sullivan disciple that News Reference is, are you?

  67. “Dennis”, my questions are what do you believe, what are you for, what do you support?

    If you’ve been reading what I’ve written you could probably give a decent description of what I believe, what I’m for, and what I support, but what about you?

    What do you support?

    What are you for?

    Do you believe anything?

  68. ‘It’s ok for you guys to criticize him now.’

    It’s also OK for you guys to support him now.

    What about it?

  69. ‘Bush way overestimated the stomach of the American people to do what’s hard.’

    And vastly overestimated how much they would support what is stupid, unnecessary and destructive to the country and the planet.

    But then again, ‘it’s hard work.’

  70. ‘Too many white people foolishly feel guilty about blacks and wanted to lay thier guilt trip to rest.’

    That literally could not be more specious.

  71. ‘Now Obama has been lying as long as he has been campaigning. The press never calls him on it. He hangs out with racist whackjob nuts and the press never calls him on it.’

    No kidding; I never even heard about Rev. Wright or Bill Ayers or he’s a Muslim or wasn’t born in America.

    Thank goodness you’re here to remind us of all the vacuous crap that didn’t stick during the campaign for the utterly Liberal reason that none of it was true.

    Colbert was right; the truth has a well known Liberal bias.

  72. ‘The world sees him as weak. They didn’t like Bush but they knew he was strong.’

    Being arrogant and uninformed is NOT the same as being strong.

  73. ‘You liberals just don’t understand how far out of touch you are with normal people. ‘

    Would that be the MAJORITY of the country who elected Obama?

  74. ‘The ideas of liberal government are literally bankrupt. Look at California, that is what liberalism does to a government. Runs it into the ground until there is no money left at all.’

    Would that be the same Kaliforniah that Ahnuld was sworn in as Governor for his 2nd term two years ago?

    When does he ‘own’ the economy out there?

  75. ‘They floated your way because of white guilt and republican fatique.’

    Wouldn’t have ANYTHING to do with the fact that your party ran two of the biggest clowns you could find, while the Left ran a brilliant, eloquent and energetic candidate whose message of optimism and belief in a better future inspired the nation and the world?

    Or was all that just too ‘elite’ for you.

  76. ‘Hey Funk,
    You certainly left the impression that you’re another Canadian with nothing better to do than meddle in our affairs, is that true?’

    Wow, my comments are ‘meddling?’

    Didn’t know the power I wield; I’ll be sure to spare you when I call for the Apocalypse.

  77. Bruce Henry says:

    Dennis:
    I talked about the possibility that Trig was Bristol’s baby ONE TIME on ONE thread way back, months ago.

    With your long memory, surely you can recall that my last comment on that thread was something to the effect of “I’m just screwin’ with ya.”

    Who was that person I was arguing with that day? He was good. Where’s he been?

  78. Dennis says:

    “Dennis”, my questions are what do you believe, what are you for, what do you support?

    Newsie, you’re an annoying little twerp who writes nothing but crap, and that’s exactly what you want to be. So don’t try all of a sudden to change colors and be sincere and serious and then expect sincerity and seriousness in return.

    When I ask you questions about the crap you write and where you got it from, you turn tail and run away.

  79. ‘Left-Wing cartoon character “News” “Reference”is on Janet Napolitano’s left-wing terrorist watch list for possible meltdown terrorist acts against the country.’

    Dude, you should probably just lie down for awhile and enjoy the pretty colors.

  80. Dennis says:

    I talked about the possibility that Trig was Bristol’s baby ONE TIME on ONE thread way back, months ago.

    Ok, just messin with ya, Bruce. Although by many people’s logic here, a one-time statement taken out of context is the perfect excuse to label that person forever. I’m guessing you don’t read Newsie’s lunacy he regurgitates from bizarre sources, and you’re wise not to, but that seems to be his favorite thing to do.

  81. Dennis says:

    Dude, you should probably just lie down for awhile and enjoy the pretty colors.

    An imitation only of the way he operates, jrfunk, thrown right back at him. I’m guessing you don’t read his crap, either, because I thought that was pretty obvious.

  82. Right winger “Dennis”: “Newsie, you’re an annoying little twerp who writes nothing but crap,”

    That’s kind of what I’ve been thinking about your posts, it’s all attack and no substance.

    Even the offensive right wing thug, “Frank DiSalle”, believes things, even if they are crazy things. It’s clear that he also reads more than just the standard right wing tripe, even if he doesn’t understand what he’s reading.

    Even white supremacist “Amused Observer” believes things (like his racist belief in racial hierarchy). And it’s clear that he’s thought through what he believes, even though he’s conclusions are absurd.

    But you don’t seem to have consistent beliefs about anything, it doesn’t seem you’ve ever read anything other than right wing propaganda, and you can’t seem to think through whatever it is you are attacking.

    It’s just regurgitated right wing talking points without any critical thinking or even the dimmest understanding of what you are regurgitating.

  83. Wilbur says:

    Wilbur, you just said on the other thread that you didn’t think she was stupid, now you’re calling her a mental midget. And Bam’s massive brain isn’t doing any of us a whole lot of good right now to change the jobs picture.

    Dennis, inability to recognize irony is a symptom of Asperger’s syndrome and other developmental difficulties.

    Thought that knowledge might be useful for you.

  84. Wilbur says:

    fixed that tag thing, I hope.

  85. Dennis says:

    Dennis, inability to recognize irony is a symptom of Asperger’s syndrome and other developmental difficulties.

    Wilbur, please tell me you didn’t just rip that off this Cracked article on new personality disorders on the internet.

    Or did you and several other people independently consult the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders and come up with that diagnosis?

  86. Jaim says:

    Funny to see the wing-nuts bloviating at full power, but not one of them is willing to say something nice about Palin.

    Good luck in 2012, losers! Romney is your best bet, and your Christian bigots will make sure he won’t get the nomination.

    S’beautiful. Wing-nut suicide en masse.

  87. Duros62 says:

    Denny says:Burned-

    Not one original thought in that whole long diatribe. Not one thing you said that wasn’t said by a thousand liberal blog commenters back in October.

    True then, and still true now.

  88. Duros62 says:

    Denny says:Or did you and several other people independently consult the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders and come up with that diagnosis?

    It’s only because we’re concerned for you and AO, Denny. We don’t want you to hurt yourself.
