Sarah Palin: “Thanksgiving is for Real Americans Not Indians”

............

Palin’s response was astounding, “Thanksgiving is for real Americans not Indians. We founded this Christian nation. Why if it wasn’t for the God-fearing pilgrims, the natives would still be running around in loin cloths shooting at things with their arrows.”

The gracious host tried to save her by stating, “Surely, you’re aware that the Indians were the native population of this country and were driven from their homes by the European settlers.

This further incited Palin and her rant continued, “I’ll tell ya what I know. I know that these tribes do a lot of whining. I mean they got special rights up the wazzoo. They have those casinos all over the place. Seems to me they got a great deal. If they would just put down the bottle and whatever they’re smoking in those peace pipes and get a job like the rest of us, they’d be alright. I see it all the time in Alaska with the Inuit. They just don’t want to join the rest of us. They’re still hunting whale for gosh sake.”

The station quickly went to commercial break and Palin was gone when the show resumed. .........

4. It's satire. n/t

[Coyotl]

9. That was quick. And the winner of the Poe Award is ....

The cows came home. It is just too believable! Palin is this ignorant

Congrats. You win the traveling trophy. To get rid of it, post a satire piece and ensnare the next winner.

2. "News That's Almost Reliable"

In other words, it's satire, right?

Regardless, it sounds like something she'd say.

[NightWatcher]

5. Sarah just a huge softy for Thanksgiving

[WinkyDink]

7. Do you think turkeys are served alive on Thanksgiving?

[NightWatcher]

12. I'm pretty sure they're dead when you purchase them frozen, sans head at the store

[WinkyDink]

66. Well, they didn't get that way by being touched by Turkey Tinkerbelle's wand!

See those cute white turkeys behind the owners?

Thursday dinner.

[Coyotl]

72. But only Palin would hold a presser while they bleed out in the background.

Ditsy is the word

[WinkyDink]

74. Well, yeah, that is a good point!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

53. Palin studied journalism at a real university! She knows a photo-op, ... maybe not. nt

[hobbit709]

55. But it took her 5 years and 4 schools.

[WinkyDink]

6. So why is this thread title written in a serious style?

[MADem]

37. I really think Satire pieces belong in the "HUMOR" group--not in GD.

But I don't rule the world!

I don't think it's fun or funny to "snare" people who skim an article and get suckered into thinking it is real.

It's kind of mean--it mocks the person who took the time to read and reply.

[WinkyDink]

41. That's my thought, as well. As my father would say, "'Tain't funny, McGee!"

10. *facepalm*

[Tx4obama]

11. For folks that do not know: The Borowitz Report, The Onion, The Currant, Free Wood Post - are SATIRE

[MiniMe]

19. Knew about the others, but this is the first time I've heard of Free Wood Post

Had to click on the thread to find out that is where it came from anyway. I knew it must be satire though, Palin is dumb, but I don't think she is quite that dumb.

[Tx4obama]

22. And another satire one that showed up on DU the other day: Newslo

Here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10024061887

[Coyotl]

28. That one is hilarious.

[tazkcmo]

25. Yes she is. n/t

[WinkyDink]

42. For folks that do not know: DU has a Lounge.

[TBF]

43. I didn't know about Free Wood Post

but Borowitz is hysterical.

I can't have these on Facebook though because they pop up on my feed and I always think they are real ... especially stories involving Sarah Palin. Who the heck knows what she would really say - she arguably is this stupid.

[Logical]

13. These stupid satire posts need to be labeled as such. Or put in the Lounge. Waste of time. n-t

[Vashta Nerada]

24. Agreed.

[MADem]

38. We have a HUMOR group here in DU. This kind of stuff is perfect for it.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1198

[QC]

56. Agreed. Total waste of time. n/t

[liberal N proud]

14. Shooting at things?

Dear God!

[Tyrs WolfDaemon]

17. Well, if you want to hit something you have to shoot at it first

Those arrows don't fire themselves.



In another arrow story: Since the time of the ancient Gods, blacksmiths and fletchers knew how to make arrows that would return to the shooters. When asked why they never made any for their costumers, they all looked at the asker in disbelief and replied "Because they are too stupid and would not get out of the way as it returned! We would lose a bunch of our customers due to that stupidity!"

[liberal N proud]

35. I was thinking about word salad Sally's hypocrisy

She needlessly shoots wildlife for sport.

[Tyrs WolfDaemon]

49. I was merely trying make a slightly humorous response

I figure if I can make someone grin, my job is done.

If they chuckle, then that's better


If they laugh, then I did good.

Unfortunately what I think and what I type don't always mesh
and so I end up hitting off center and sometimes off target all together.

[liberal N proud]

62. Done that many times

First thoughts sometimes get me in trouble because they escape through my mouth or keyboard.

[Nye Bevan]

15. The Onion is good at this kind of thing. Everyone else sucks.

And by "sucks" I mean "really sucks".

[Gman]

16. Of all political satire, Palin satire is by far the easiest to fall prey to

because you just don't know. She is so stupid to the point that anything that mimics her style is very believable. She is an idiot without compare.

[Coyotl]

29. The Queen of Political Satire.

Maybe Palin should get the Poe Award, for bridging the divide between reality and satire.

[Blue_In_AK]

18. Satire

Sarah says a lot of stupid stuff, but this doesn't really sound like her.

[tazkcmo]

26. yes it does. n/t

[Blue_In_AK]

31. No, it really doesn't.

For one thing, she'd never call our North Slope Native people Inuits. That's what they're called in Canada. She might have called them Inupiats or Eskimos, if she was being politically incorrect, but not Inuits.

I knew it was satire almost immediately.

[niyad]

20. isn't it sad that she has said such unbelievably ignorant things that we can almost believe almost

anything truly vile, insipid, mean, hateful, arrogant or just plain stupid attributed to her? one has to check the source each time.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

21. Come on, this is such obvious (and lame) satire!

[Vashta Nerada]

23. It's a satire website.

Why does this shit get posted here all the time?

Can we create a satire forum so real news can be posted in this forum?

[tazkcmo]

27. If it was in a satire forum

It wouldn't be fun.

[Coyotl]

30. It certainly would lose some poignancy.

Satire is a form or both art and political lampooning. It is verbal cartoon and editorial both when done right.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

32. "when done right"

[Vashta Nerada]

34. This wasn't done right.

It was rather lame.

[Fumesucker]

39. Tell that to the first poster on the thread

[Initech]

33. ...

[Ichingcarpenter]

48. good one... but she is a great source

for amusement and yes

Satire does belong in GD.... it always has been.

HELL TOONS ARE SATIRE.

[treestar]

36. People have to quit doing this

It's too hard to recognize it as satire right off the bat. There's nothing to satire with Palin. She is satire on her own.

[AngryOldDem]

40. What's sad about this is...

...it's entirely plausible -- given the idiocy she's spewed in the past -- that she could actually say something this stupid.

I can't blame people for taking it at face value when they first read it. But, yeah: If it comes from a satire site, it does not belong in GD.

[hobbit709]

44. Way too many here are sarcasm and sarchasm challenged.

And they never hesitate to have a conniption fit over it.

[Myrina]

51. To be fair, when the subject is Palin, it's hard to tell if it's satire ...

[Logical]

59. Waste if time. Post this shit in the lounge. Or label it satire. nt

[hobbit709]

60. Is someone having a bad day?

[Logical]

65. Nope, unless you are! nt

[Boom Sound 416]

45. Satire is not funny

When I get fooled

It belongs clearly labeled in tupper ware where it can not spoil my unwitting sense of humor.

And only placed and dispensed in a forum clearly labeled satire, comedy or humor so their is no contamination with other things unfunny or serious.

Thank you

[Orangepeel]

46. I hate this shit. Satire should make a point beyond the obvious (IMO)

Palin is ignorant and racist. So let's make up ignorant and racist shit and pretend she said it!

Why? It doesn't make a point that hasn't been made a million times, it doesn't illuminate. It's not funny, unless one is amused that they got people to think it was real, like some morning show DJ practical joke.

[Codeine]

47. Satire is hard. nt

[Capt. Obvious]

50. It makes people angry

There is no warning that it is satire!

[Coyotl]

69. At themselves first, then at the poster.

Then they have to delete/edit their message too.

Then, as memory fades. they post one too.

[Capt. Obvious]

70. Not all

Some go and start a thread in ATA to ask Skinner to banish all satire to the lounge... and fail.

[beachbum bob]

52. she is a gift that keeps on giving

[Berlum]

54. Yup - this is a teachable moment

Some will get it, some won't.

[Coyotl]

57. Agreed. And some get fooled and then get pissed off.

I'm definitely among the winners of the Poe Award myself.

[CBGLuthier]

58. Writing something ugly and offensive and attaching it to the name of someone you hate

does not make for very good satire. It is just ugly and offensive.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

64. Stop

making sense!

[Javaman]

63. It's like watching someone who didn't study the night before for an oral history test

flub their way through the exam.

I had first thought it was from the Onion, but alas; she is that stupid.

[kentauros]

67. "...and Palin was gone when the show resumed."

If only she would remain gone!

Thanks for the satire post!
And thanks, too, for no images of her (I have to hover my cursor over the "Show Images" button on any story about here due to the inevitability of an image popping up.)

[Jamaal510]

68. These satire pieces probably unfairly get a ton of folks in hot water.

Not everyone is savvy on political satire, and may actually believe she said this. It's kind of a messed up sense of humor.

[Orsino]

71. Frightening...

...how much parody Palin reads like actual Palin.

[cynatnite]

73. I know it's satire, but it also sounds exactly like something she'd say. n/t

[Amaagatam]

75. Are you for real, Palin?

Aren't you suppose to be educated before you become a journalist, or politician? Oh wait! Scratch that. Some politicians were pig farmers or car sales men first. However, journalists? They don't have to be, right? They simply learn how to make money by trashing people. =)

But seriously Palin, the Aboriginals taught the "christians" how to be thankful, oh yeah, and how to bathe. Those are two good things that were "taken" from us and we're thankful for. We were seriously closer to "our Creator" before you all came along and called us heathens. Quite simply you all only called us heathens because you couldn't understand our language so your people "bullied" us into learning English so you could understand what we're saying.

Obviously from your little uneducated rant there, you have not yet learned how to be thankful, so I will excuse you this time. =) I can only hope for your sake that you've learned how to bathe.

You see Palin, that's why Pocahontas was stolen from her people, because John Smith wanted his people to learn her "Godly ways" which she learned from her own people long before contact (Yes, she was real. She's not just a creation of Disney).

So it would do yourself some justice by educating yourself on "our ways" before you talk from your behind... as usual... or perhaps you don't know how. I shall understand then. After all, "A drunk can be sobered; The ignorant can be educated; but there's no hope for the stupid", sadly.

Warm regards,
Amaagatam
