PALIN Tweets To Followers: Warning ' BP ESCROW FUND ' Could Lead To A NAZI-LIKE DICTATORSHIP
:tinfoilhat:


" Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) lashed out at White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel on Twitter earlier this week, telling him “u lie” for saying that many Republicans agree with Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX) that the White House shook down BP to create a $20 billion escrow fund to help Gulf families. Of course, Barton’s sentiment is not unique among conservatives, as Palin herself proved this morning. Taking to Twitter once again, Palin urged, “GOP: Don’t let the lamestream media suck you into ‘they’re defending BP over Gulf spill victims’ bs…” She followed up by urging her followers to “read Thomas Sowell’s article,” which compares President Obama to Hitler:

" If followers click on the link they will see that Sowell, under the headline, “Is U.S. Now On Slippery Slope To Tyranny?” <http://www.investors.com/NewsAndAnalysis/Article.aspx?id=537967&p=2> argues that the escrow fund is just like the Enabling Act, which “gave Hitler dictatorial powers that were used for things going far beyond the relief of the German people — indeed, powers that ultimately brought a rain of destruction down on the German people and on others.” On Tuesday, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) endorsed Sowell’s ludicrous Hitler-Obama comparison on House floor, calling the columnist “brilliant,” before quoting several lines from the piece.


“It’s difficult to overstate how absurd all of this is,” Political Correction noted.

10. Yeah, I would like to say I'll get back there
This crap has gotten to me. We are in serious trouble and all they do is make it worse. The best I can hope for is for her to become irrelevant.

8. Enough already. Enough. I'm so fucking tired of living in bizarro world.
Seems I woke up here on the morning after the 2000 election and I just can't find my way back home to the sane universe.

Help...somebody, please help.

18. Inciting a lynch-mob amongst her lunatic followers through her branded LIES & Propaganda
Edited on Fri Jun-25-10 11:18 AM by Segami
is very " relevant " in the scheme of things. Here words are subscribed too,read and heard by every delusional hate monger resisting this presidency which includes a parade of paranoid, gun toting, new world order conspiracists, religious crackpots lurking under every rock in every state. I believe it would be a BIG MISTAKE to label her as ' irrelevant ' as much as its tempting to do so.

16. So, a quitter and a failed candidate
says things that even a person with a single brain cell would find disgusting, on a website that's devoted to self-absorption. Remind me again why this woman is still relevant and still paid attention?

20. Making an ass of herself. The GOP obviously IS defending BP over Gulf spill victims
you can't put any other slant on it.

The GOP is telling people to use the Rule of Law and SUE BP and wait for twenty years for tiny little damages, like what happened after the Exxon Valdez.

How many people on the Gulf Coast think that's the better option to be compensated for their lost jobs, property values, ecology, animals, industry, beaches, water, etc.

The GOP is really really really on the wrong side on this on.

21. Did she eat fava beans? She's demented!
The slippery slope she's sliding down is an oil soaked bank with a bunch of dead pelicans, turtles and dolphins at the bottom.
