That’s Because She’s Dumb
Tweet
Sarah Palin cites a Pat Buchanan column (which should already be a flag on the play) and her takeaway is the opposite of what Buchanan wrote.

Andrew Sullivan’s sister website right here.
Don’t worry Dennis, she’ll return your calls someday.
I think you’re getting the Trig Birthers who are frustrated at not being able to post comments at The Dish, Oliver.
Pretty savvy move on your part, I gotta admit.
Except nobody’s pushed any birther conspiracies here besides wingnuts. You just don’t want your hero to be criticized, and you’ll post comments for days to push back on that.
Stop talking shit about his girlfriend, Oliver. He is going to get really mad!!!!
Really? What wingnuts pushed birther conspiracies here?
And can you guess which side started the birther issue with Obama? Was it the right or the left?
Here’s a hint: It rhymes with ‘bereft’.
Yes, a bunch of PUMAs snapped the ball, but its you righties who have run down the field with it.
Funny, “You Guys Started It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” has been a valid (and seemingly only) argument on this site for the past 385 days.
The dumber she is, the more her idiot minions love her. Stupid people like stupid people it seems.
Oh well, speaking to 600 teabaggers alongside a birther and a wacko fundie judge isn’t exactly winning over any new voters.
With $arah, she has her base but the more she talks , the more she repulses anyone with a brain.
We all know the Era of Republican Personal Responsibility (which never began) officially ended in January of 2009.
Farris is right, Oliver. That is the standard refrain when anyone asks you why you’re so in love with the ‘teabagger’ epithet.
You guys own the birther issue. You need to accept reality.
And the original snapper? Guess what, he’s still hiking the ball and he hasn’t been traded…he’s still on Team Democrat.
You guys own the birther issue. You need to accept reality. – Dennis
Comedy gold.
Paging Editor Farah… Editor Farah…
Democrats forced Joe Farah to give a birther speech at the Tea Party convention
he’s still on Team Democrat.
Are you talking about Larry Johnson? Can you find a liberal with a kind word to say about him?
Oh no—Dennis is gonna cry a whole lot about this or try to change the subject!
Oops, too late.
“Say he played the war card.”
Bombing the shit out of weirdo countries is totally awesome domestic politics!
Just when you thought she wouldn’t get any crazier…
Don’t get him riled, he’s drunk dialed this thread four times in a half hour period already.
LIAR!!!! She is not his girlfriend! You take that back! You can’t find a single shred of evidence to back up your claim!
Translation: “Turnabout isn’t fair play.”
Philip J. Berg, Parthy.
Obamacrimes.com
He’s still on the war path.
This news that birtherism has it’s roots in liberaldom saddens me to my very core.
Philip J. Berg, Parthy.
Everyone who knew this name any time before today, raise you hands.
And they forced Roy Moore to be impeached too, because they hate the baby Jezzuz
What difference does that make?
Did you know who Orly Taitz was a year and a half ago?
Do you know the name of the little boy who held up the ‘teabag the Dems’ sign that you nutcases always point to as proof that they were the first ones to use that term?
You will literally, and I mean literally, argue anything, Quaker.
Well, we now know she’s a vapid, crazy, ignorant bitch who got all of her degrees in law and dentistry from the back of a 73 Cutlass.
You will literally, and I mean literally, argue anything, Quaker.
Coming from you that’s really rich. Is irony something your brain cannot process?
Actually, I remember Berg from his 911 lawsuit. Before his birther days, he was a ‘truther’, trying to argue 9/11 was an inside job, etc.
Wow, fafaroo. Aside from Sean D. Martin, Marco is the first far left loon that you’ve ever said that to or challenged like that.
Is this a new you or something?
Anyway, appreciate your stepping in for me. Not necessary, but thanks anyway.
Nice of you to bring Ms. Taitz into the conversation, Den.’ While an unknown nutjob may have been the first to go full birther, it takes a broadly supported wingnut maniac like Taitz to take it mainstream.
You will literally, and I mean literally, argue anything, Quaker.
Prove it!
You just started in with Marco, fafaroo. Do you really want to have two of these going on at the same time, or have you already given up on your challenge with him?
You’re a strange one.
Sarah Palin is a fucking retard.
What? It’s satire!
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/02/09/colbert-sarah-palin-is-a_n_454744.html
Satire or utter cluelessness? So hard to tell.
It’s cluelessness. Never mind.
Your point in that is what, Quaker?
An unknown Dem starts it, and later an unknown on the right picks up on it and takes it further. Meanwhile, unknown original Dem instigator still pursues it but for the most part, stays out of the limelight.
I’m sure you’re going somewhere with this as you’re never one to want to lay his cards on the table too soon.
I, uh, …. don’t know what to say.
Is this where people come to post two day old stale news links, Jody? Or did you get here via The Daily Dish, too?
Dennis is a fucking retard.
What? It’s satire!
Two days old? Holy shit, Stephen Colbert has a time machine!
Pollak, pursue me with the best of your abilities and all the zeal you posess, but dude, YOU’RE A CARTOONIST ferchrissakes! You’re getting more stale than Jody’s late-breaking bulletin on Sarah Palin. Other than a post or two to Taz on the thread below, your last 15 have been aimed at me and they’ll all been these cutesy little Zython-like shots like they came from a toy air-gun. “Way to go Sean. You pwnded Dennis!”. Yeesh.
Consider it professional coaching or whatever, but you need to work on your originality and freshness if you want to make a name for yourself some day.
And not be a one-trick pony about it, either. You’re making me think my comments are important to you.
The sad clown’s lament.
This is debatable. Your comment may be satire or offensive. We can’t be sure until we talk with Dennis’ caretakers.
Sigh.
Before I begin, Dennis, let me save your fingers some wear and tear:
I’m stupid, August is stupid, everyone is stupid, you win because I’m responding to your post, and my response is indicative of some sort of extreme emotional imbalance but your daily deluge of posts is the picture of mental stability.
Phew. Now, with that out of the way, please answer this question:
How is a clip that debuted last night on the Colbert Show (which runs at 11:30 PM, EST) and was posted today, at 8:14 AM, “stale” and “two days old”?
Yes, this is a stupid, insignificant point to pursue, but we’re in serious black-is-white, up-is-down, ‘through the looking glass’ level dishonesty here.
You’re right. That was presumptuous of me. And given his responses to my earlier post, it’d be wrong to assume he isn’t mentally challenged.
But he’s still a fucking retard
Come on, Awkward. Dennis is being “fresh” and “original.”
When you’re “fresh” and “original” you don’t have to make any sense.
Pollak, pursue me with the best of your abilities and all the zeal you posess, but dude, YOU’RE A CARTOONIST ferchrissakes
He makes an honest living, unlike being a professional gambler.
fafaroo, that’s ok for you and all, and Lord knows he isn’t anywhere close to you in the ‘Dennis OC/D’ department, but like I said, cartoonists need to keep it edgy and imaginative, make people think, mix it up a bit, keep them guessing, be clever.
Pollak seems like he thinks of you as sort of a role model.
You’re not doing him any favors in the career area. You’d be doing him a solid if you told him that, too.
Indisputably.
Reading your posts, Zython, it saddens me to see a young, impressionable and malleable, lemming-like student such as you, being totally sucked in by all the libby journo characterizations of people in banking and finance being nothing but professional gunslingers. You’ll always think of the stock and bond markets as evil capitalism being run by Gordon Gekko’s. You’ll probably put your money under your mattress and in good times bitch that it’s not trickling down to you, and in poor times say it’s all the Republicans’ fault. You’ll think it’s cool to stay single and sit on the couch in your apartment and play World of Warcraft and think it’s reality and that investments is like high finance roulette because that’s what you read on Daily Kos and Sadly No or whatever blog is popular at the time where you hang out at. It’s really a shame and such a waste.
I keep thinking one day you’ll grow out of it, but it’s not looking good at this point.
being totally sucked in by all the libby journo characterizations of people in banking and finance being nothing but professional gunslingers.
You don’t work in either of those fields. All you do is trade stocks on the internet, which is akin to gambling.
it’s all the Republicans’ fault
It’s the one field where they never fail to disappoint.
investments is like high finance roulette
There’s a difference between investing in what you believe and trading out to make a quick buck.
You’ll think it’s cool to stay single and sit on the couch in your apartment and play World of Warcraft and think it’s reality
Why should I care what a child molesting arsonist thinks how I live?
“The next person who understands the stock market will be the first.”
You don’t work in either of those fields. All you do is trade stocks on the internet, which is akin to gambling.
That’s not true, little racist boy. Jaim repeats that and he knows it’s not true, but it’s nothing more than his way of venting. You, like the young liberal lemming you are, wuill believe anything you read from a fellow loon. I don’t trade, and I don’t do anything equity-related.
There’s a difference between investing in what you believe and trading out to make a quick buck.
You don’t have the first fucking clue of either one. You have no personal experience with investing or trading- you don’t even have an academic knowledge of either. I’d be shocked if you’ve even taken a finance class.
Now why don’t run along back to Sadly No and get all your racial animosity out of your system again posing as some conservative you hate. It’s so much more enjoyable that way for you, isn’t it. You can say anything and still get away with it. How cool is that, Zython?
Freak.
A local take on her recent appearance:
http://blogs.houstonpress.com/hairballs/2010/02/sarah_palin_hand_rally.php.
How’ the E-trade account going Dennis? Have you made back the 14.99 this month required for your family to not hate you so much and keep the shotgun barrel out of your mouth?
I love how you’ve gone to trolling a liberal blog, 24 hour a day, to being so hurt and upset by trolling a liberal blog 24 hours a day.
Well played wittle Dennis.
Dennis, I would love for you to explain WTF it is you’re talking about.
Are you serious or are you joking? Either way, I don’t get it.
Jaim. Dude.
You’re the one heading toward your 40th birthday sitting all by yourself in a one room apartment that’s smaller than my garage, all the way over in Seoul, South Korea where you’re presently already headed toward your second job because the one you left ‘Bush’s America’ for, sucked to you. I’m a Managing Director at an established investment firm making more most months than you do in a year, which I have been since I was 10 years younger than you are now… and you’re cleaning up kindergarten vomit and blogging on the side to keep from going nuts. All of which is ok, to each his own, but let’s have some perspective here. You are not happy. You weren’t happy when you left this country and you aren’t happy with this country now. You only come on here to complain; whether it’s with me or any other conservative, or if it’s with Oliver for not being as wacko left as you are- at least he’s over here in this country paying taxes and buying our goods. You? You are a complete malcontent. You bitch about things over here for which you have no involvement in, no ax to grind, no skin in the game, and for which you are doing absolutely nothing to help improve.
I’d say the only person in the world you might consider yourself a friend with is yourself, but I’m not even sure about that.
What’s your question, fafaroo? Be more specific.
And try to hurry, The Factor is about to start.
Hurt and upset? What gave you that impression. I’ve never been hurt or upset by anything on here. Everything is just words here, Jaim. Hurt and upset don’t register with me and they shouldn’t with you, either. A day doesn’t go by when I post here that I don’t get a really good belly laugh, though. I owe a lot of those to you, I must admit.
Just curious, do you really think I was “challenging” Marco or Quaker?
It’s simple, Den’. An elementary school kid could see where I’m headed.
I’ll explain.
Is Phil Berg a Democrat? If you say he is, I’ll take your word for it. But he doesn’t have a lot of friends within the party and he’s not well known by the public.
Ms. Taitz on the other hand is quite well known, well funded, and has quite a number of supporters. She manages to get her voice heard with the help of her good friends on the right. What’s more, she’s not alone. There’s the nice Mr. Farah, Mssrs. Limbaugh and Beck, and even a few elected officials who willingly fan the flames…one in particular whose name should be quite familiar to you by now.
Please. No way on God’s green earth would you challenge Quaker on anything, fafaroo. You two are cut from the same cloth, are two peas in the same liberal pod, and are joined at the hip about as tight and secure as you both could possibly be. You’re Lewis and Martin on here.
I was being facetious about you challenging Marco up above, when you said “LIAR!!!! She is not his girlfriend! You take that back! You can’t find a single shred of evidence to back up your claim!”
Are you so linear in your thinking that you couldn’t fathom the idea that I was joking and now six hours later you still must seek clarification before you can proceed with anything, like it’s a box you have to check off on your to-do list or something? Do you really think I was being serious that I thought you would call Marco a Liar and do it in all caps and demand that he take something back, all in defense of me?
I won’t make light of this with you, I swear, but could you tell me what your affliction is? It’s not Asperger’s, is it?
Never mind, don’t answer that- it’s really none of my business. Just was curious.
Clearly your “sense of humor” is beyond me.
Is Phil Berg a Democrat? If you say he is, I’ll take your word for it. But he doesn’t have a lot of friends within the party and he’s not well known by the public.
Quaker? Is that you? Hello. Hello? Quaker?
Did you just say that if I say he is, you’ll take my word for it?
The Quaker I know would never say that to me about anything. Literally, anything.
Ms. Taitz on the other hand is quite well known, well funded, and has quite a number of supporters. She manages to get her voice heard with the help of her good friends on the right. What’s more, she’s not alone. There’s the nice Mr. Farah, Mssrs. Limbaugh and Beck, and even a few elected officials who willingly fan the flames…one in particular whose name should be quite familiar to you by now.
Yeah, so what? I was never making the argument that the left was doing more yakking about it than the WND crowd; I was saying it turns out that someone or some people on the left started the whole process. It was Democratic oppo research from the Clinton side. And they’re still working hard on it. Do you ever read that anywhere on all the reading you do about the birther movement- that it started with Hillary Clinton supporters? I don’t recall O. Dubya ever mentioning this little inconvenient truth that birtherism as we know it started on the left, do you?
I was saying it turns out that someone or some people on the left started the whole process.
So what?
One lonely nut. A majority of self-identified Republicans.
I usually don’t like getting in on a really long thread when I get home, but I have to say this: We all dodged a bullet when McCain lost, but Palin is like a boomerang. She keeps wheeling around like a bat, threatening us with her rather unorthodox view that she knows something useful. The woman is scary for her continued warmongering, but what can be done? If you point out what she says is wrong or impulsive or even crazy, her base rallies around her even more. If you don’t, it gives her statements added weight.
The only thing that seems to be eroding her popularity has nothing to do with her statements, but her growing sense of entitlement. The crowds of tea party folk seeing her are greeted with high prices and poor venues. Perhaps this will continue, but I don’t think it will matter in 2012.
Everyone. Knock it off.
I’m moving on to a university position because it’s a better job. Thanks for asking.
You have two daughters that hate you and spend your life trolling somebody elses blog. You make threats of physical violence then shit yourself when called on them.
And you’re really fucking stupid to boot.
Dennis’s obsession with commenting here borders on the pathological.
“an established investment firm”
It can’t be that established if your IT guys can’t tell you spend three to four hours a day of work time trolling a blog.
Maybe if Dense had his own blog, Sarah (looks at hand) Palin would be able to find him easier.
I am sorry, but I have to call B.S. here. The likelihood that you hold a “Managing Director” position anywhere in an entity called an investment firm is zero. There are investment “banks” and investment “advisory firms.” There are wealth management “firms,” but an investment firm is a term of art that is reserved for a small cadre of small time broker/dealers whose primary activity is buying securities for mom and pop investors. Nobody managing substantial assets would use this term.
Given that you also stated that you don’t work with equities, my suspicion is that you are mostly a fictitious character who is spinning a story in an anonymous blog where you suspect nobody knows any better. This would explain the need to try to make fun of others in the hope of elevating one’s self.
You are an even uglier human being than your idol, Sarah Palin.
And she wasn’t even born in this country.
I still haven’t gotten an answer; is her son a US citizen or not?
It’s true: wingnuts just don’t do funny.
Three to four hours a day? more like six or seven.
And no mention yet (that I could see) of her KEYNOTE “motivational” speech that started at 8 A.M., before all the attendees were even in the damn building.
Bitch? Check.
Distemper? Check.
Mange? Check.
Monumental cluelessness? Fuckin’ A.
It’s all about the bottom line, my malcontented friend. Mine never gets questioned. And you post from work, too.
zadura, you have no clue what you’re talking about. Zero. Not even the basics.
It’s more than one lonely nut. Oliver even told you above that it was the PUMA’s (plural).
“So what?“, you say? So what is that you guys are the ones responsible for opening the can of worms. You guys also are the ones who are working so hard to make sure this stays in the news. You somehow think it’s a winner. You’ve all dramatically lightened up on the racism charges- it’s now gone to ‘They’re all birther and secessionist crazies, how can we negotiate with crazies?’ memes.
You started the birther thing for a specific dastardly purpose, and now you want it to keep going for a dishonest, dastardly purpose.
OW made the charge that only us wingnut pushed birther theories here, and I asked him who they were. He didn’t answer that.
Can you tell me who the wingnuts are that post here that pushed the birther theories that the left started, Quaker?
zadura, that’s no way to talk about a Managing Director, former Navy Seal self-made millionaire who left Harvard when he realized they couldn’t teach him anything he didn’t already know.
That I can put down to really poor planning on someone’s part. Palin’s or the Tea Partiers, or something. But, it’s another example of her fan base losing patience with her. But again, if she’s still a viable contender in 2012, they’ll likely forgive her.
No, Tyro, I’m just a regular, happy-go-lucky guy; nothing special. Just trying to give lonely Jaims a little perspective on his life and that of the kinds of people he looks down on with so much scorn and jealousy.
The “explanation” was that Slick Sally had another engagement in CA, according to this piece in Crooks & Liars.
For more laughs, see the argument over Palin between Ron Reagan and Pam Geller, also at C&L.
Ron Reagan was being a douche, Randy, and Joy Behar had to consult her own notes to remember basic, every day, run of the mill anecdotes about Sarah Palin; ones that Behar has already discussed a hundred times on each. Talk about a shrieking liberal airhead- you can’t get any more hypocritical than her. Ron Reagan is still depressed that Air America is kaput and he’s only asked on shows because of his dad, then he acts all put out if anyone tells him how his dad would’ve reacted to certain people. “I’m here because of my dad but don’t talk about my dad- only I have the right to do that.” His dad was embarrassed of him. He still would be.
Gellar is a very strange woman, and quite disturbing. Seen her vidblogs on occasion, and I really don’t know why she’s on the show either. She actually said Pain didn’t quit, or rather, she’s asserting that leaving a position of authority to pursue motivational speaking and a Fox News gig is not quitting. I think a lot of people would disagree with that – I sure as hell do.
Oh Randy, about that “Exclusive” on Palin by Dave Neiwert over at C&L. Here’s a video of the seminar the writer got the impression from his mind-reading abilities that attendees weren’t impressed by:
PAlin @ “Get Motivated Houston.
Palin never once says ‘You Betcha’ and she never said she told Piper the story of Cain and Abel, yet the “C&L insider’s” account by Niewert on his blog post quoted Sarah Palin directly, word for word.
This is Neiwert being Neiwert. An exclusive from a C&L ‘insider’ just making stuff up out of whole cloth and telling us what he thinks other people must’ve been thinking. This is big stuff on that blog. A real inside scoop.
Of course you love this kind of stuff, Randy.
That’s Because She’s Dumb, Part II
Joy Behar, that is, along with Eve Ensler, who can’t believe Sarah Palin just doesn’t get it that global warming is why we’re getting all these earthquakes and tsunamis.
Oy.
Shorter Dennis: LEAVE SARAH ALOOOOOONE!!!!!!
Tho I am surprised that a fucking retard can type that much with only one hand.
Of course Palin didn’t quit in the eyes of her moronic minions. Her cult lemmings know this is a fact because as Pammy Tits says, she answered the call of the lower 48 who needed her services to save us from the terrible MuslimTraitorSocialist.
Has $arah ever given a reason why she quit, other than to cash in before the botox wears off?
Dennis, just once, just once, could try googling for information about something before you come here to post something stupid? You may learn something and you’ll definitely save all of us a lot of time:
http://www.celsias.com/article/global-warming-causes-massive-earthquakes/
And here:
http://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/09/07/guardian-global-warming-to-trigger-earthquakes-tsunamis-avalanches-and-volcanic-eruptions/
You just demonstrated that Dennis said something completely idiotic and wrong. He will respond by either…
a) Changing the subject (i.e., “LOOK! OVER THERE!”)
b) Vanishing from this thread immediately
c) Insulting you on an unrelated issue
d) Insulting me for this post
e) Claiming that he and Sarah were actually not wrong at all, despite all the evidence
Anyone want to guess?
Now, Dennis, before you get all huffy and defensive, let me just say that the point of providing these links above is not to declare the science one hundred percent settled on the question, but rather to suggest that the issue is far more complicated and rolling your eyes and typing “Oy” really allows.
I found those articles by googling “global warming causes earthquakes” without the quotes.
If you want to link to some other articles disproving the studies cited above, go for it. But please try to do better than some moron saying “But it’s snowing in DC!”
http://www.ucsusa.org/global_warming/science_and_impacts/impacts/early-warning-signs-of-global-3.html
I don’t know that particular scientist, fafaroo. Who is Eliav Batan?
And if all this f’ing snow here lately is because Bush didn’t sign Kyoto and more evaporation is coming down on us, why isn’t it coming down in the form of….now what’s that stuff called again?….. oh yeah, ….RAIN?
Are colder temperatures proof of global warming, too?
If you had answer “A”, you win! Half-credit for “E”.
Also…
Now, Dennis, before you get all huffy and defensive, let me just say that the point of providing these links above is not to declare the science one hundred percent settled on the question, but rather to suggest that the issue is far more complicated and rolling your eyes and typing “Oy” really allows.
And you post from work, too.
Not anymore.
Sometimes the short-term memory of the American public can be a good thing.
Jesus, Dennis, because it still gets fucking cold in fucking winter.
Globally, January 2010 was one of the hottest months on record: http://climateprogress.org/2010/02/05/hottest-january-in-uah-satellite-record-roy-spencer-global-warming/
…which put more moisture in the atmosphere so we got more snow in places where it was cold because of winter.
This really isn’t all that hard to understand, Dennis. Global weather. It’s a dynamic system. Global warming produces extreme weather conditions of a variety of types (extreme drought in one place vs extreme precipitation in others) because the system is in constant flux. Water gos up into the air from one place and comes down somewhere else as rain or snow. How hard is this to understand?
It’s the extreme nature of the weather that is symptomatic of global warming.
faf, you already illustrated yesterday that Dennis is simply trolling here. He’s not being honest. He’s a hack and a troll, and a stupid one to boot. In print here, he will disagree with any liberal, simply to disagree and be a miserable asshole. He knows these things, that climate =/= weather, that snowstorms in one region of the country does not mean that global climate change is not happening, etc.
He just gets a kick out of annoying liberals on this blog.
Fucking pathetic, but I guess however you can get your jollies, amirite?
Hey, wouldn’t it be amazing if Dennis was actually Oliver? Drive blog traffic up, cause a ruckus? That would be incredible. I know OW has a penchant for comic book heroes and alter-egos and the like…
OW, are you putting us on?
LOL,
Palin is dumb eh? The evidence is overwhelming, just ask the “reality based community”. What would her accomplishments look like if she was smart?
Dennis, I worked for Morgan Stanley, Montgomery Securities, BA Securities, Robertson Stephens and Bear Stearns for 15 years in San Francisco, Boston and New York. I have worked in QA, I-banking and Private Client Services. You can dance on the head of a pin all you want, but it’s time somebody called your bluff.
The reason that an investment firm wouldn’t call itself an investment “firm” is very calculated. Firms that invest other people’s money as a B/D want to stress that they manage high-end investors and corporations. Thus, wealth management. Investment firms that underwrite their own investments are called investment banks or P/E firms or VC firms. These firms look down on B/D business.
I am afraid that you are the one who doesn’t know anything, but you already knew this…
Who is Eliav Batan?
Cute, Dennis. He’s the guy who cited and linked to this study:
http://www.nsf.gov/news/news_summ.jsp?cntn_id=111647
Palin is a fucking moron, and the people who think she is presidential material are even dumber. How’s that for reality based?
Stupid people have always resented those smarter and more accomplished, because they are deeply insecure about their own intellectual shortcomings and they always feel threatened. That;s why she constantly uses terms like “fat ivy league resume” to try and diminish Obama. She’s petty and jealous because she knows he can run rings around her ADD brain any day of the week.
If she is so smart why doesn’t she give a one hour press conference, live without a net? Then she can show her superior intellect, right? She can show she has a command of the issues and can think on her feet, right?
That will never happen, because she’ll get the ‘deer in the headlights’ look when stumped, then she’ll babble and ramble endlessly, not making any sense at all, and her moronic minions will gush and fawn and applaud wildly.
Just admit it, she gives you starbursts like most other geriatric wingnut men. That’s the only reason they like her so much.
Golly, off the top of my head, she might have graduated college in the typical ‘four year stint at a single school’ experience, without resorting to near-community college shoppin’.
She might have completed, oh, a single term as Governor of Alaska.
She might be the current US Vice President.
Her daughter might have had the guidance to avoid getting knocked up by a cheesy, classless, brain dead, idiot.
Trig might find himself fully and appropriately clothed a bit more often.
Her major accomplishment thus far is becoming a celebrity, and let’s face it- these days that has more to do with spectacle than substance. She’s the Jersey Shore of politics.
Palin is a fucking moron, and the people who think she is presidential material are even dumber.
I think Dennis is a good example. Dennis is, hands down, Palin’s biggest defender in these threads. He clearly thinks that she would make a better president than Obama and he fully endorses her for president. If the election were held today he would definitely vote for Palin over Obama.
“Stupid people have always resented those smarter and more accomplished, because they are deeply insecure about their own intellectual shortcomings and they always feel threatened”
LOL,
Out of the mouths of babes…
fafaroo,
Since the whole world is aware of the devastation of the massive earhthquake that just occurred in Haiti, and now all the major snowstorms we’ve endured so far along the mid-Atlantic region so much in the news, why aren’t you and all the global-warming scientists yelling and screaming that this is all the result of AGW? Why is it that your messengers are women like Contessa Brewer from MSNBC, Joy Behar from HLN, and the vagina lady?
Seriously, why is that the only reasonably well-known person blaming Bush and Palin and global warming for earthquakes and tsunamis is a lady famous for talking about her cooch?
I don’t get it. This should be rock and roll time for your right now.
Dennis, you mocked someone for saying that global warming caused earthquakes.
I presented you with a couple of different sources suggesting you’re an idiot.
Isn’t it time for you to just STFU now?
LOL, fafaroo.
You can find scientists to say global warming causes just about anything.
Especially ones who get paid to say it and who know various ways to hide the declines.
Douche.
Classic. You got an answer you didn’t like and went with: “It’s all fake anyway! So Nah!!!!”
You’re a tool.
And really, fafaroo, why isn’t this like Mardi Gras for you right now?
Not that you should exploit tragedies or anything like that, but why do you need to post stuff from obscure websites to make your point? Why isn’t this front page news on the New York Times? It’s like your smoking gun, isn’t it?
Oh and by the way, if anyone needs any more evidence for why arguing facts with conservatives is a complete and utter waste of time, this exchange should do the job.
No, not at all. Why do you think debating me and preaching to the lemming choir here is the way to get the word out? You seem embarrassed to want to go out and show the world that all these snowstorms prove AGW and the perfect vehicle in the MSM that would surely give you a lot of airtime since they’re already covering the weather right now?
Why is this not moments you live for? I mean, I haven’t been keeping up, but all Gore should be having multiple orgasms right about now if this is true like you say?
You say that, sure, but you don’t heed your own advice. You live to argue with conservatives. Not even one out of 100 posts here of yours are anything but, fafaroo. Except for that one time you got into it with Sean D. Martin and Professor Gates, but even then, he was taking the conservative and correct position in that one.
WTF are you talking about? Are you now suggesting that you’re not an idiot because I’m not on a talk show right now discussing climate change?
Is that really what you’ve been reduced to Dennis?
Dennis, you’re doing all of this in lieu of typing, “Gosh, I guess I was wrong. Maybe this issue is a little more complicated than I thought.”
Why?
No, I thought I was asking you why no one else is besides the aforementioned airheads and your obscure scientific websites?
I think I mentioned that about three times already. Do you need a fourth or fifth or will you keep dodging no matter how many times I ask you?
Game. Set. Match.
I’ll be little Dennis puts a pile of Monopoly Money next to his computer every time he fires up the ol’ E-trade account.
Shirley you jest, fafaroo. Like I said, you can find a scientist support just about anything thrown out by you guys about global warming. Is it not reasonable to assume with these recent events that now would be an excellent time to prove your point? Yet who is making the case these snowstorms are the result of AGW besides you, Oliver, Eric Boehlert, Brewer, Joy Behar and the vagina lady? Like I said, I don’t even hear Al Gore exploiting this for his John Edwards-like altruistic concern for his fellow man.
Getting elected governor is indeed an accomplishment. Quitting in mid-term far outweighs that accomplishment.
Talk about cutting and running.
Please, please, please run Sarah! We haven’t had a Mondale v. Reagan landslide for such a long time!
Oops, sorry, it looks like that was zadura.
Either way, Dennis is like a venereal disease when it comes to this blog. Bothersome, annoying, and serves no positive purpose. And yet, is persistent. And because of this, you must continue to scratch that rash.
I’m as guilty of that as anyone on here.
Yet who is making the case these snowstorms are the result of AGW besides you, Oliver, Eric Boehlert, Brewer, Joy Behar and the vagina lady?
Dennis, just stop. I’ve linked to several articles about several scientific studies arguing just such a connection.
You haven’t linked to a single opposing scientific study.
All you’ve done is reach deeper into the conservative bag of sophistry and misdirection.
You’re a complete fucking tool.
zadura, I work in institutional fixed income, mainly taxable. If there was someone on here who knew the differences enough to really care about what exactly is correct nomenclature was for different financial companies, that’d be one thing, but it’s not, so ‘investment firm’ on here is good enough. It’s more than good enough for Jaim, who I was addressing when I said it. If you care, we’re a financial services company and we market products and services to public finance clients, institutional and private investors, and community banks. If you’d like to put your money where your mouth is, though, I’d be glad to wager any amount you’d like. Any amount. Just figure out a way to exchange info and let me know, and how much you care to lose due your bravado. Impress me.
fafaroo,
You will not answer why this is not Go Time for you global warming alarmists. That can only mean that you cannot answer why it isn’t.
You should be all over this like a cheap suit.
Doesn’t make sense.
Obscure scientific websites are like pacifiers to you.
Dennis is off his medication again.
Jesus Christ, Dennis. There are a lot of people out there right now trying to counter stupid right wing bullshit that snow = no global warming.
But you know what Dennis? Even if there weren’t it doesn’t make your comments here on the subject any less stupid and any less wrong.
You’re wrong. That’s it.
What would her accomplishments look like if she was smart?
Liberalism?
Palin never once says ‘You Betcha’ and she never said she told Piper the story of Cain and Abel, yet the “C&L insider’s” account by Niewert on his blog post quoted Sarah Palin directly, word for word.
Dennis, the beginning of that video starts with her still talking. And the end of part II ends with her still talking. We can conclude from this that what you linked was not the entire speech.
This is Dennis being Dennis. A lying, disingenuous asshole who likes to slander those who he disagrees with. But alas, he cannot help it, since as a conservative, it’s in his nature.
Yeah, it’s like, funny or sad? I can’t really tell??!!
Zython, allow me to demonstrate just how polluted your mind is at such a young age by everything you read on far left blogs.
Here’s the link, again, that Randy Brown provided of the C&L “Exclusive” from ‘C&L insider’ Josef Jarod…EXCLUSIVE:
In his insider information report to Dave Neiwert, he quotes Palin directly:
Now, go to the video again. Listen to when she mentions a bedtime story to told to Piper. She doesn’t say “YOU BETCHA”. And she tells the story of Esther, not Cain and Abel. It’s at the 0:37 mark of the video.
Now, if she did exactly the same thing before or after the two videos you watched that you think I purposely omitted, repeated that she had told Piper a bedtime story again and said ‘you betcha’ and told another Bible story that would’ve been described just exactly as Josef Jarod described it, don’t you think that would be the story instead by Neiwert, that this bimbo repeated the same anecdotal bible story in her motivational speech, the only difference was one was Cain and Abel and the other was the story of Esther? I guaran-goddam-tee you that would be the much bigger liberal story to report. And Neiwert was told of his error on the comments section and he didn’t correct it and he didn’t come to say that she said it at another point in the video, strange as that would’ve been. He’d have been howling with delight had that been the case that she repeated essentially the same story.
You really didn’t think this one through.
Now, for grins, check out their other failed attempt today to smear Palin… Sarah Palin’s Bracelet: I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means
If you check the UPDATE, you’ll see that Nicole Belle was was the one who did not think it meant what she thought it meant. Unlike Neiwert though, and to her credit, she quickly retracted her gross mistake.
Hilarious. So you are a mid-level bureaucrat with a Series 7 license selling revenue bonds from a trading desk in middle America. And you have the audacity to swing your johnson around here like you’re Gordon Gecko.
I would be more than happy to match industry knowledge. I have a paypal account at mrjldrescher; happy to put $1,000 on it. Name the time and place to play the game.
Talk about a masterfully engineered “Punk’d” scenario, that would be awesome! But alas, could we be that friggin’ lucky? I don’t think so. I fear Dennis is as real as Sarah….
Uh oh, Dennis is getting his bluff called. Time to cut and run!
He churns up those accounts with two screens ablazing while doing the ODub watch on the third. Eyes on the road? Screw that. ODub’s besmirching Lady Sarah again. In bed with the wife? What’s that in your hymnal? “Dad, whathehell you doing in there for so goddamn long? I gotta go!” He’s saving the world from liberals, that’s what he’s doing! He’s a bad mother… I’m talkin about Dennis.
No self-respecting corporate entity would allow someone to get away with the amount of non-productivity that wittle Dennis engages in.
But it’s cute to see him play dress-up as Randian Master of the Universe for our constant amusement.
I suppose that- law of averages, and all- some people who habitually puff themselves up & brag about their job, success, and gaudy income to anonymous strangers on the internet could be telling the truth.
Sadly, they’re only marginally less empty and pathetic than those that lie about it.
that you think I purposely omitted,
I never said you purposefully omitted it. I just think you took a snippit that a person found interesting and posted it on You Tube as gospel of what her entire speech entails.
Personally, I’m going to reserve judgement until I can find a full transcript. If you want to continue rant about it, be my guest.

Yes you did, Idiot. You said “This is Dennis being Dennis. A lying, disingenuous asshole who likes to slander those who he disagrees with. If you think I didn’t do that on purpose, why did you call me liar? I posted it as gospel??? The video I posted shows her saying the exact same things the author of the ‘Exclusive’ C&L hit piece said she did…all except the two things he got completely wrong. This Jarod guy is obviously a rookie reporter who wants in with the cool guys and Neiwert wanted to do him a favor while making it look like he has inside information. When he fucked up, Neiwert didn’t want to make him look bad by apologizing for his obvious fabrication. Getting the bible character wrong is not a big deal, but quoting her for saying “YOU BETCHA” and putting it in all caps like he did is nothing less than a complete lie, and Neiwert won’t admit that.
Personally, I’m going to reserve judgement until I can find a full transcript. If you want to continue rant about it, be my guest.
I’m curious as to just who here you think you’re kidding, Zython? You have no intention of finding a full transcript because you know there’s no way it will support your contention. It’d have been absurd for Palin to have told two oddly similar, almost exact anecdotes about telling her daughter Piper a bible story before bedtime the night before at two different places in her speech, for the writer to not mention that she didn’t remember that she changed the characters the second time.
You just didn’t think your post through and you can’t admit it. Just like you couldn’t apologize to josh yesterday when you accused him of hating brown people and he told you he was a brown person. You said “Sure you are.”
I guess that was Zython being Zython. “A lying, disingenuous asshole who likes to slander those who he disagrees with. But alas, he cannot help it, since as a liberal, it’s in his nature.”
Hilarious. So you are a mid-level bureaucrat with a Series 7 license selling revenue bonds from a trading desk in middle America. And you have the audacity to swing your johnson around here like you’re Gordon Gecko.
That’s not the case, zadura. Jaim thinks he’s getting my goat by repeating on here that I day-trade at home through E-bay or E-trade or something like that. Not once or twice, but now maybe 15 times or so. No big deal, back and forth banter that he lives for. So tell me, you’re in the securities business, what would you say to the freak? I was just putting things in perspective for him to consider when he slings the mud that couldn’t be more wrong. I’m higher than mid-level, have a lot more than a Series 7, I do more than sling rev’s, and fuck you on the middle America comment.
I would be more than happy to match industry knowledge. I have a paypal account at mrjldrescher; happy to put $1,000 on it. Name the time and place to play the game.
No, zadura, you said there was zero chance of me having the title I do and that I was lying about it, that I was a fictitious character spinning a story here. I asked you to put your money where your mouth is on that. You want to change the bet now to something absurd for two people in two different functions in an industry. Stick to your charge, and back it up. Your word is your bond, isn’t it? You’re good, right?
Shut up you whiny fucking baby.
Yes you did, Idiot. You said “This is Dennis being Dennis. A lying, disingenuous asshole who likes to slander those who he disagrees with. If you think I didn’t do that on purpose, why did you call me liar?
Huh, so I did. Very well, I apologize for suggesting you weren’t a lying asshole, that was foolish of me.
I’m curious as to just who here you think you’re kidding, Zython? You have no intention of finding a full transcript because you know there’s no way it will support your contention.
I looked for one before posting my previous post. Frankly, I don’t care if you don’t believe me, it’s the truth. Frankly, I find this line hilarious coming from someone who admits they don’t read evidence against their points because they don’t like what they have to say.
Just like you couldn’t apologize to josh yesterday when you accused him of hating brown people and he told you he was a brown person. You said “Sure you are.”
Chances are he was lying. It’s the “I have plenty of black friends” defense taken to the next level.
Two questions for you, Jaim:
1) Where did zadura go?
2) If I’m the whiny fucking baby, why is it that when I turn the dial up from my usual one or two on the pushback meter up to maybe a 3 out of a possible ten, you always seem to fade into the woodwork and let your friends come in and try to stick up for you? Why don’t you at least stick around and throw in some punches instead of acting like the wounded soldier who’s lying on his cot yelling cursing at the fighter planes overhead dropping bombs on them? I’ll admit, you do have some stones; it takes a certain type of audacity to cheer on the guys that are taking hits trying to bail you out instead of telling them “Thanks, guys, appreciate your offers, but I got this.”
No, they retreat and you curse under your breath one more time and meekly offer up one last, bold, barely audible “Shut up you whiny fucking baby.”.
Impressive display, Jaim Galt.
