1. palin needs to be completely ignored by anyone except the top obama campaign people nt

[Xipe Totec]

2. The lipstick is coming off, says pig (nt)

[lisa58]

3. she really does make me sick

[graywarrior]

4. God, she's becoming a nag.

[iiibbb]

5. Said the Alaskan sepratist.

[peace frog]

16. Said the witch doctor parishioner

as he prayed over Palin to "rebuke all demonic powers of witchcraft". Obama supporters should make sure this Palin factoid becomes household knowledge, too.

[DearAbby]

38. OOO eeee OOO ah ah Ting tang Wasilla silla bing bang

dontcha know?

[peace frog]

42. Darn right, doggone it!

:crazy:

[babylonsister]

6. I didn't think it possible, but every time she opens her mouth, she just sounds dumber.

I say she should keep talking, and let the m$m et. al., keep calling her on her lies.

[villager]

7. now the GOP is at war with AP? What's next -- Palin vs. Fox?

40. The object is to discredit any & all news media so that if Palin is criticized, it is to be ignored

or to be accused of "being in the tank" for Obama. The right wingers are nutjobs, no doubt about it. Sarah is not the only one to be feared - anyone who supports her is, imo. I cracked up the other day when a newscaster was interviewing a Palin supporter. The supporter stumbled over her words and looked like a deer caught in the headlights. NOW I see the attraction - she gets the dumb bimbo vote.

[GoneOffShore]

44. The Bimbo and himbo vote.

[vanderBeth]

8. Some said it earlier...but this woman really might be a sociopath.

:puke:

[abumbyanyothername]

9. I wonder how many people involved in this chain . . .

will continue to screw the claim up.

Bringing up Ayers was not racist. Just inept.

Saying, "he sees a different America than you and I see" was borderline racist.

MSNBC is garbling the message.

[TwilightGardener]

10. America doesn't know her, so how can she warn us about Obama?

The McCain campaign seems to think she's "America's sweetheart", a pretty face to deliver his ugly attacks, but her attacks on Obama's character carry absolutely NO credibility whatsoever.

[Jade Fox]

11. This may be wishful thinking.,.,

but the media may be itching to bust Palin's chops right now, and she's messing with them at her own peril. The reasoning here is Palin's first hiding out from the media, and then blaming them (in the form of Couric specifically) for her own stupidity. They're tired of her games.

I'm sure Palin has taken on the role of attack dog at the behest of the GOP, but once again, the Republicans may have miscalculated the unique response she arouses.

[vanderBeth]

19. I don't think it's just wishful thinking

I heard somebody on CNN (don't remember who) discussing how she is blowing the media off, and they were PO'ed. I'm guessing they're also pissed because McCain keeps on telling them who they're in the tank for. Instead of using the media wisely, like any politician since the printing press would, they're waging war with them.

See: Letterman after getting blown off and being lied to by McCain.

[Jade Fox]

46. Letterman-good example! nt

[sad sally]

29. Your comment re. "response she arouses" was just felt in my house

Palin was just on the TV spouting off and my husband jumped up, grabbed the Sunday paper and swatted her face and yelled, "I can't stand to see or hear that woman anymore!" He's usually a fairly quiet man...

[Jade Fox]

45. I feel like doing that if I see that smirk of hers for very long.....

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[Bryn]

12. Yeah, right

“It’s important for Americans to know,” Palin said on the tarmac Sunday. “It’s really important for Americans to start knowing who the real Barack Obama is.”


Of course, Palin, we do know who the real Barack Obama is. We have the complete picture of truth. We also know the real you, Sarah, you lying BITCH.


Go away, Sarah, We are sick of you. Barf Barf

[Peacetrain]

13. ~rubbing hands together~

Hauling out AIP articles, Keating 5, and what was it that Begala was talking about today.. How McCain served on a committee of an organization that was anti semitic..

[high density]

14. McCain/Palin is going down in a spectactular fashion

-750k jobs for the year and they're talking about Ayers.

[creeksneakers2]

15. She lies almost as much as McCain

That may be why he picked her.

[ObamanationYes1]

17. I posted this same AP article about 2 minutes ahead of you...

and I have been castigated....

I even got a "freeper alert'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nomaco-10]

26. I saw that and I'm sorry that happened to you.....

I don't think many of the people that replied to your post read the complete article. Don't get discouraged, hang in there. You're doing fine.

[madaboutharry]

28. I am pretty confused about what happened in your post too.

I saw what happened and all I can say is that you should just shrug it off. This kind of stuff happens sometimes and it really had nothing to do with you.

Oh, and welcome to DU. :hi:

[ObamanationYes1]

31. To you and Nomaco-10

thanks - I love it here! I learn so much, but I gotta thicken my skin!

[kestrel91316]

34. Way back when I was a newbie I said some things that got taken the

wrong way and got jumped all over. I think it's almost a rite of passage, lol. Just be sure you redeem yourself by avoiding potential flamebait. We have lots of freeper trolls and some of them are pretty slick, so we get edgy around elections.

[Quantess]

52. Welcome to DU!

It's like getting jumped into a gang, when you first start posting here. Don't take it personally. Every newbie is viewed with extra skepticism.
:hi:

[CitizenPatriot]

18. um, sarah? one word: Troopergate. nt

[nc4bo]

21. CorpWhoreMedia has been silent about all things Troopergate, even though there has been

forward movement this past week.

[CitizenPatriot]

23. I know...I am waiting for them to be turned down by Alaska Supreme court

one wonders, if she did nothing wrong, why are they trying to stop the release of the findings????

Odd behavior for a mavrick who is so sure, based on her limited reading of starbucks mocha cups, that Obama has something to "hide!" Oh noes! Pot, kettle, etc. Boring Sarah.

[BlooInBloo]

20. That's right, fool - keep digging.

[terrya]

22. Maybe a 527 ad about her and Todd and the AIP will shut her up.

Just for context's sake. And, basically, to shut her up.

[HEyHEY]

24. I totally agree with her!

“It’s important for Americans to know,” Palin said on the tarmac Sunday. “It’s really important for Americans to start knowing who the real Barack Obama is.”

- Yes, Sarah it IS important. Unfortunately for you it will only hurt your cause!

[MadBadger]

25. At first I didnt think the comment was racially tinged at all

But then I realized we arent talking about black or white. We are talking about playing on the fears that Obama is a Muslim.

[Hutzpa]

27. Thats a fight you don't wanna get involve in,

I'll be a spectator on this one, watch and learn how NYT
takes her apart.

[Life Long Dem]

30. The people have and will decide this.

[milkyway]

32. And Sarah Pallin is currently fucking a guy who does not want to be an American.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

33. Palin's comment might have more gravitas...

If her boobs weren't bigger than her brain.

She's giving beauty pageant contestants a bad name

[1corona4u]

35. So, she has no idea that this was brought up before....

stupid bitch.

[City Lights]

36. Every time she open her trap her cluelessness becomes more obvious.

It's important to know who the real sarah palin is. She can start with explaining why she and Alaska's first dud are ignoring subpoenas.

[BlueIdaho]

37. The bitch s playing with fire...

Our 527's will be happy to match her smears tit for tat.

[renie408]

39. This says more about Sarah Palin's character than it does Barack Obama's. n/t

[CitizenLeft]

41. ROTFL at a comment on FirstRead!

Say it ain't fair, uh, Sarah, there you go again pointing backward. Now, doggone it, let's look ahead and tell Americans what we have to plan to do for them in the future.

You go, Harry Governick of St. Louis MO! :applause:

[Montauk6]

43. Chances are she probably meant nothing racially...

But goddamn I LOVE the fact that the Obama are throwing frivolous charges back in her face; BOUT' FRIGGIN TIME THESE JERKS GO ON THE DEFENSIVE, I SAY!

[Raschel]

49. Not sure about that. I really think McCain is playing a hard race game

with picking red-neck Palin. I think both he and Palin are racists. Just my opinion.

[Montauk6]

53. Yeah you're probably right...

BUT I STILL LOVE SEEING THEM FLAIL ABOUT ON THE DEFENSIVE!

[saltpoint]

47. It's interesting watching her lash out and then have to defend the content

of her smears.

She's not very good at the latter, that's for sure.

And if the ticket she were running on was worth a damn, she wouldn't even have to DO the former.

[Raschel]

48. There goes Palin, looking back at the past!

Some great comments after the article.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

50. First, somebody had to explain that AP wasn't the local grocery store

nt

[Bluebear]

51. There ya go pointin' backwards again, Sarah, say it ain't so! Now let's look forward blah blah blah!
