Palin: Obama will 'invite danger' if elected

TROY, Ohio (CNN) — – Sarah Palin on Thursday warned Ohioans that the Democratic ticket will "invite dangerous international crisis" if elected and gleefully mocked Barack Obama for dismissing his running mate Joe Biden as being prone to "rhetorical flourishes."

At a press conference in Virginia on Wednesday, Obama made the comment while defending Biden for saying at a fundraiser, "It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy" — a statement the McCain campaign has seized on to highlight Obama's relative lack of national security experience.

Palin asserted that yesterday's "hastily" assembled press conference in Richmond, in which the Democratic nominee was flanked by 15 of his top national security advisers, should remind voters of "how Obama handles trouble."

"Here his own running mate has just warned America — and it's not the first time — he warned us throughout the primaries that Barack was not ready to be president," Palin said. "He reminded them that the election of Barack Obama will invite dangerous international crisis because he is untested. And Barack just brushes it off as rhetorical flourish."

...

In fact, Biden did not say Obama "is not ready" to handle a national security crisis, but rather that Obama will need his supporters to stand with him as tough decisions are made.

1. Gotta love that unbounded self confidence

of the ignorant, incompetent and utterly witless Palin.

[Sheltiemama]

27. I prefer to call it arrogance.

[BOSSHOG]

2. The conservative response to Biden's statement

is a perfect example of those with no intellectual curiousity talking before thinking. It happens on a daily basis on right wing radio. Biden made perfect sense. And the comparison to Kennedy was awesome.

8. Republican 101 - Be Deliberately Thick-Headed

Take a statement
Distort it and/or willfully misinterpret it
Come up with some crazy conclusion and act outraged

Seriously this formula applies to about everything they say. They know exactly what they are doing.

3. It's about time the AIP story came out nt

[livelongandprosper]

4. And what will Sarah Palin invite?

Russian bombers over Alaska, I guess.

[olddad56]

23. she will invite the unbridled greed of the neo-cons and the raping of the middle class to continue.

[sinkingfeeling]

5. That's not what Biden even said.

[life_long_dem]

6. I think independent and/or undecided voters don't give a crap

what she says any more.

[VaYallaDawg]

7. Don'cha think "rhetorical flourishes" is kinda elitist talk?? You betcha!

[jeff30997]

10. I betcha that she doesn't even know what it means.

Stupid clueless moran.

[beltanefauve]

13. "In what respect, Charlie?" n/t

[StarryNite]

9. I'm getting real tired

of her shit!

[llmart]

11. In less than two weeks.......

she'll be gone from the picture. And I bet $150,000 that those clothes aren't going to any charity.

She's a worthless piece of shit.

12. GOP, YOU CAN'T SCARE ME!

GOP, YOU CAN'T SCARE ME!
TO YOU I SAY, OBAMA ALL THE WAY!

:rant:

[Nay]

14. Really? You mean like Bush's "bring it on" bullshit?

[bluevoter4life]

15. .....Says the ticket that was endorsed by al-Qaeda. n/t

[kitty1]

16. Palin taking over from McCain would be far more dangerous....

than Barack being at the helm. She couldn't handle a girl guide troop on a wilderness trip without help. Putin and Chavez are probably laughing in their martinis at the whole prospect of her ruling the free world in a crisis.
It would be party time all over the ME if that should happen. Open Season on potential Miss Alaska

[dudewheresmycountry]

17. Maybe Palin has a career

on the Physic network, after the election is over. Because I am sure she will not serve a fill term as Governor of State up north where she is from..

[truthisfreedom]

18. Stupid bitch.

[XemaSab]

19. Invite Harvey Danger to play at the inaugural ball?

I'd be cool with that. :shrug:

[timb77]

20. Look at Boehner's sweater

in the pic(link). Did he borrow one from McLame or maybe from Pat Boone.

And last time I checked Al-Qaeda wants McSame for Prez.

[LynnTheDem]

25. Good spot, lol!

Welcome to DU, timb77! :hi:

[truthisfreedom]

21. Got some news for you, Palin, honey... only the rethugs invite successful terror attacks.

The Dems always manage to thwart the ones on their watches.

A little something more for you to think about, honey... since 1928, Nixon and the two bushes have been the ONLY elected rethugs. So you ain't gettin' elected, honey. Back to Alaska with your free new Neiman Marcus wardrobe, sugarcakes!

[progressivebydesign]

22. that fucking witch.. how long til they trot out the OBL video this time???

While everyone has their panties in a wad over an ALLEGED assualt by an Obama supporter on a McCain volunteer, Palin is sayin this shit.

[LynnTheDem]

24. Treadin' real close to that felony line, Palin'. Careful what you say, witch.

This woman is not only unfit for the VP, she's unfit for any official office whatsoever.

[RainDog]

26. did she say this before or after the story about the atm girl in PA?

It makes a HUGE difference.

If she said this after that event - she is truly a dangerous person to have as a national figure and she needs to be sent back to Alaska on election day.

[unkachuck]

28. being....

....a small town mayor and a half-term governor of a state that has a population smaller than most counties, makes me wonder where she gets her confidence that she won't invite an even greater 'dangerous international crisis' when gramps dies and she becomes Commander in Chief....Commander in Chief Sarah of SNL fame....

....as a matter of fact, her lack of experience and her short time on the national stage would not only invite a huge 'international crisis' but would guarantee even greater domestic corruption and economic turmoil as she flubbed around listening to every half-baked Republican idiot and idea out there....

.....it's Mcsame, it's Sarah, it's REPUBLICANS....they have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, that they no longer can be trusted with the levers of power especially in this time of national and international distress that they created....our country deserves much better and it can no longer tolerate much more Republicanism....
