Sarah Palin gets facts wrong in budget critique using a chart from Glenn Beck's website

"Palin links in both places to a chart posted on The Blaze, Glenn Beck's website, five days ago - before the budget proposal came out. It uses an op-ed by White House Budget Director Jacob Lew to suggest that Mr. Obama was proposing to cut $775 million from the budget, and goes on to mock that amount as insignificant.

The problem? Lew wrote in his op-ed that he was only discussing "a small fraction of the scores of cuts" in the budget proposal, not the total proposed cuts, as a Democratic official pointed out to Ben Smith."

1. And the teabaggers will take it as gospel.

And spread it all over the internet.

And that is the problem with that.

2. It's not just that Sarah Palin is stupid. Her entire team works to put this stupidity out.

She's got high-paid strategists and messaging specialists working for her, and they STILL make her look stupid.

3. Maybe that's her strategy...it worked well for Bush...

What me worry?

13. You have to understand how low the bar is in Alaska

You don't have to be very smart to stand out as a genius there. They are provincial, backward, and have little real understanding of the world of commerce and ideas just as most of the rest of us have few of the backwoods survival skills Alaskans possess that allow them to stay alive in their environment. Evolution means specialization even in this country.

4. Don't blame her. She just regurgitates what they tell her to say!

[tammywammy]

5. What they pay her to say. Corrected. n/t

6. At this point she is reading it in off of cardboard and paste.

Whatever makes her the most money and requires the least of her concern. :eyes:

7. Get used to it...

disgruntled pony-demanding "Dems" are going to put her in office!

[walldude]

10. And blind loyalists are going to fuck us over at every turn

Are you getting paid for this or what? Poutrage? Pony's? Sarah Palin? You have been out here today using every pathetic cliche in the book. Doing everything in your power to marginalize the plight of people who actually have serious real world problems and are looking to the government for help.

Next you'll be telling them to pull themselves up by their bootstraps.

11. No...

it's a pleasure to point out this ridiculousness! Thanks though!

[bullwinkle428]

8. To be fair, "a small fraction" was all she could fit on her hand!

[IDemo]

9. Yet we continue to hear that we MUST BE ALARMED about her 2012 run

Because she and her sneaky handlers can trick the center into voting for her, after demanding and receiving the repub nomination over a field of actually sentient candidates.
