Madeline Albright Responds To Palin Misquoting Her! It's From A STARBUCKS Cup!!!

[BlooInBloo]

One word: PWNED.

My god she's sofa king stupid. :rofl:


http://www.americablog.com/2008/10/palin-misquotes-her-starbucks-cup.html

"Now we know why Sarah Palin doesn't read newspapers. She learns stuff from her Starbucks cup:

Palin regaled the cheering crowd with a story about how she was reading her Starbucks mocha cup yesterday, which featured a quotation from former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.

“Now she said it, I didn’t,” Palin said of Albright. “She said, ‘There’s a place in Hell reserved for women who don’t support other women.’”

The crowd roared its approval, but according to several sources, Albright actually said, “there’s a place in Hell reserved for women who don’t help other women.”

If Sarah is going to make a big deal about quoting her Starbucks cup, she should at least get the quote right. In fact, as CBS notes, she got the quote wrong.

Madeline Albright wasn't amused. She wants Palin to know just how wrong she got it:

"Though I am flattered that Governor Palin has chosen to cite me as a source of wisdom, what I said had nothing to do with politics. This is yet another example of McCain and Palin distorting the truth, and all the more reason to remember that this campaign is not about gender, it is about which candidate has an agenda that will improve the lives of all Americans, including women. The truth is, if you care about the status of women in our society and in our troubled economy, the best choice by far is Obama-Biden."

[timtom]

1. Well!

THAT blew up in her face, didn't it?

Gotta recommend this one.

[calimary]

3. Me, too!

Recommended! sarah can't even begin to touch the hem of Albright's garment.

[Piewhacket]

121. Palin is a repulsive hypocrite and liar.

The statement Albright admits to have made is basically in biblical form. Love (Help) thy fellow man.
(In a Judeo Christian Society) There is nothing seriously objectionable about it.

The one-word change in the quote makes a critical and overwhelming change in meaning, morphing it from
Christian precept to a bigoted (sexist) and repulsive remark.

The change was deliberate, not inadvertant, because it suits her political agenda and attributing it to
Albright commits a slander against Albright. We know Palin intended this because she drew special attention to
the fact that Abright had said it, not her.

Albright didn't say it. Palin is a liar and not a Christian, she is user, a lying hypocrite.
(a Rove scumsucker probably wrote the slanderous misquote)

OBAMA CAN'T TAKE OFF THE GLOVES FOLKS. WE MUST.
LETS BURY THIS PIECE OF GARBAGE SO DEEP IN THE TRASHCAN OF HISTORY
THAT EVEN REPUKLIENS WILL FORGET SHE EVER EXISTED!

30 DAYS.
GO!!

15. Pwnage to the extreme. That was a definitely a *headshot*....

Man Albright laid it down. Straight to the core of the issue. This is the woman who was charging raped women up to $1200 for rape kits. Obviously she doesn't care about helping women.

[Bette Noir]

110. I wonder about the lengths to which she goes to protect rapists.

What do we really know about Tod Palin?

16. Standing Ovation for Madeline Albright!!!

It's about time Palin got read the riot act. Here's to it happening more and more!

97. Nah-just your average moron that happened to stop

29. I just had to email that last paragraph to their campaign.

with a translation even they could understand:
Shut up (and I mean that in the nicest way possible).

[Cha]

30. Perfect opening for Madeline Albright

to give us a strong statement who would actually be better for Women in our country..hands down.

There's a hell right here on Planet Earth for those who have nothing of substance so they only lie and distort about those who do.

[dbmk]

40. Yeah, that was pretty stupid..

She really could not tell that this would open the door for a comment from one of the most prominent, and probably also respected, women in the opposition?

[Cha]

53. palin only knows Joe

Starbucks.

[codjh9]

31. What the hell is PWNED?

[ncgrits]

32. You obviously are not the proud parent of a teenage boy!

It's some kind of bastardization of "owned" that's video game lingo.
As the mother of boys, I know that much and that's all I wanna know!

[Arrowhead2k1]

33. And to continue on the rest that this proud parent doesn't want to know.

"owned" is a a term used in some prisons by inmates in order to claim dominance over others to do favours for them as sexual servants. So when you say you "own" someone, you're basically admitting to raping them and making them a personal sex slave. But of course, it's just an expression. ;)

[BlooInBloo]

35. (facepalm)

[rebel with a cause]

80. Owned

Originated as a term used by hackers to describe gaining possession of a system, having hacked a box and got root they basically control it as much as if it was theirs, thus it could be considered owned by them. From this it was encorporated into the cultures vernacular including the limited(and awkward to type) vocabulary of so called l33t speak(0wn3d) Would-be hackers would come to use the phrase when taking someone out with a ping flood or other DoS attack, and although no access to the victim's system (typically another newbie hanging around on the same irc channel speaking in numbers) was gained yet they were still said to be owned. From there is came to simply mean bettering (or fucking over) someone and was even used to describe non-computer based events as described in the many other definitions. Though now its most common in CS games when someone kills you...

) To defeat in a spectacular way or fashion
2) To be of extremely high quality
1) You just got owned!
2) That movie owned!

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Owned

[Arrowhead2k1]

83. Urban Dictionary doesn't necessarily represent facts. Anyone can write those definitions.

Again, saying that you "own" someone goes way back in prison lingo long before computer servers even existed. I've seen the term used in a book from the 70's.

[rebel with a cause]

92. more sites and definitions.

to defeat someone severely in a verbal argument or in a competition. To "put someone in their place." Used frequently in online gaming. When used to describe a verbal argument, the term is generally used to describe a situation in which one person attempts to deal a closing blow in the argument, but is shot down by evidence that completely destroys the foundation of that person's argument. Possibly originates from computer "cracker" slang: "own root," which means that one "owns" the system administrator account, typically by possessing its password. Also 0wn, 0wned, pwn, pwned, etc.

http://onlineslangdictionary.com/definition+of/own

Owned is a slang word,<1><2> that originated among 1990s hackers, where it referred to "rooting" or gaining administrative control over someone else's computer.<3><4>

The term's original usage was close to that of the traditional meaning of the word "own" - for instance, "I owned the network at MIT" indicated that the speaker had cracked the servers and had the same root-level privileges that the legitimate owner of the servers had. "Owned", a later variant, became more common in the late 1990s, as did the more abstract usage referring to any compromised security mechanism. By 1997, "owned" was regularly used in website defacements,<5><6> and it subsequently spread to gaming circles, where it was used to refer to defeat in a game. For example, if someone makes a particularly good kill shot or wins a fight in a multiplayer video game, they might yell out "owned" to the loser(s), as a manifestation of victory, a taunt, or provocation.

Owned has now spread beyond computer and gaming contexts and become part of standard slang, where it typically entails severe defeat or humiliation, usually in an amusing way or through the dominance of an opposing party.<7> Other variations of the word owned include own3d, 0wn3d and pooned,<7> terms which incorporate elements of leetspeak.

At some point, the variant term "pwned" appeared in the same subculture; this alteration originated from typos that occurred when hasty gamers tried typing too fast on the keyboard, thus missing the "o" and typing "p" instead. Pwn has become a term in its own right but is sometimes still verbally pronounced in recognition of its origin.

It seems a popular pastime is to write "owned", "pwned", "pwn3d", or even "pwnt", etc, on pictures depicting humiliation or defeat. There have been several websites dedicated to this such as Owned.com. This site also contains videos of similar situations (many of which can also be found on YouTube). Owned and pwned are mostly used by gamers.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Owned

Am not saying you are wrong but searched and could not find any reference to the prison slang word/term owned.

[BlooInBloo]

94. (shrug) Talking word origins is one thing, talking current usage is quite another...

If you don't want to recognize any meaning of words other than its original, that's your choice. It will greatly limit what you say and understand, however.

[Arrowhead2k1]

120. Uhm, I understand today's usage of the word perfectly. Thank you very much.

I've seen it used online and have used it myself since as far back I can remember playing Quake2 in 1999. I'm just saying that I know for a fact that this term has been around a lot longer than most of these internet kiddies can apparently imagine.

[BlooInBloo]

127. (shrug) So has the word "and". Thanks, Captain Obvious....

EDIT: And while I miss Q2, Q3 was really my game. Damn I miss smoking those effin railwhores with my rockets.

[Arrowhead2k1]

130. What I mean is that the term has been used as an expression of dominance to

humiliate another person long before the internet existed. Exactly what the expression is used to convey today(dominance and humiliation). I'm not sure what you're arguing over anymore.

Seriously.. only Obama supporters drink Starbucks - someone better tell Sarah that.

Sarah said Quote:
"I was drinkin' my warm hot cup of Joe this mornin' when I looked down and saw Maddie talkin' right at me. She said "Sarah, get all those good, wonderful women behind ya, also make sure they vote for ya, 'cause it'd be a shame if those women didn't support ya also." End Quote

Granted, she had to open ALL the fortune cookies from the 20-person carryout order for her campaign entourage to find one that could be spun positive. The cookie in question had been originally given to Lydia McKenzie, a young volunteer who has applied for Regent University's spring term.

The cookie Palin had first been given read "Pride cometh before a fall."

69. Down the list of comments to the Americas Blog I found this gem

http://eclectablog.blogspot.com/2008/10/mccain-who-gimme-palin.html

McCain Who? Gimme PALIN!
You would have thought that after last week's sorry debate performance that Sarah Palin's star would have completely faded from the sky. However, you would have been wrong. Like Rich Lowry and so many other conservative pundits, there is a certain segment of the electorate that is ... well ... let's face it:

They're hot for Sarah.

They don't care if she's not any smarter than the average voter. They don't care that she's got an ethics scandal brewing in her background. They don't care about the long, long list of lies that she has told. They just think she's hot and that's all that matters. Up until he picked Sarah Palin, John McCain's campaign was languishing. He inspires very little passion or enthusiasm among Republicans and, while many Democrats have "kinda liked him" in the past, they certainly aren't going to vote for him over someone like Barack Obama. But Sarah. Oh, Sarah. She was just the shot in the arm that his campaign needed. Except now she has eclipsed him. He's now seen as the old, creepy guy who is flailing around in an erratic fashion in the middle of a crisis while his opponent remains calm and reasoned and thoughtful. Sarah is now the star power on their ticket. I knew all this and it's been on my mind for over a week now. But it wasn't until I saw that yard sign yesterday, that it really came slamming home for me.










And I wonder if they will look at the web site for the VP Granny www.votefortheGILF.com which directs you to the JohnMcSame web site with the GILF herself introducing on video!

[BlooInBloo]

74. hahaha! I love that convo with the anti-Obama guy!

"ME: That's great! We're out talking to people in your neighborhood today about the Senator campaign and to find out if we can count on your support for Barack Obama in November?

CANVASEE: You're at the wrong house, buddy boy.

ME: Does that mean you'll be voting for John McCain?

CANVASEE: That means I'm NOT voting for Obama and that's all I'm gonna say!

*SLAM!*"

71. Wake up and smell the coffee before you mis-quote a real woman!

Geezz... this woman is an idiot! :silly:

Thanks to Ms. Albright for replying to this fool... she is a great lady worthy of respect!
CR

[Blue_Roses]

75. I remember when Madaline Albright said that. It was during a "booknotes" speech while promoting her

book. It was on CSPAN. Palin took this quote totally out of context--but that shouldn't be big surprise:eyes:

[applegrove]

77. Forcing women to pay for their own rape kits isn't helping them is it?

[George II]

78. Ah...so THAT is why she didn't answer Couric's question "what news do you read?" !!!

She's too damned busy reading Starbuck's coffee cups to crack open the New York Times, the Chicago Tribune, or the f-ing Alaska newspapers!

85. Latte drinking elitist

n/t

[krkaufman]

86. Startling Narcissism

Okay, now I'm wondering in which of two ways does Palin appear worse...

1. Twisting Albright's statement regarding oppressed and exploited women into a self-serving quip in support of her own political career; or
   
   
2. Interpreting her "providential" moment, using her words, that the message being communicated was that more women should support HER, as opposed to, perhaps, a rebuke, that maybe that she should do a better job of helping out women, from her position of power, by, say, not charging for rape kits.

Startling narcissism.


p.s. And then there's the hilarious side... the small town hockey mom who's just like the average person, paying $5 for a latte. And she doesn't read newspapers... but reads Starbucks cups? Are we going to have a foreign policy based on fortune cookies and matchbooks when she takes over for McCain?

[BlooInBloo]

88. There's really no good way to interpret much of anything she says.

[old mark]

89. She probably found that Starbucks cup

and filled it with iced vodka.

[KansDem]

111. "...filled it with iced vodka."

Of course! Vodka from Russia, no doubt. If she can see it, she can walk over to a liquor store there!

90. Ms. Albright should be pissed with the bitch

[LynneSin]

91. I didn't think Republicans could get any more stupid than George W. Bush

I was so wrong

[concerned canadian]

93. "another example of McCain and Palin distorting the truth.."

Go Madeline! So much for the strategy of "Let Sarah be Sarah". hee hee (yeah)

[GinaMaria]

95. and there's a very warm spot reserved for Sarah Palin

It is reserved for someone who pushes a pregnant teen into marriage, who would block other women's access to birth control, who looked like she was interviewing for a job at Hooters instead of participating in a serious political debate, who abuses power and who lies about others to get ahead. Enjoy your special place in hell.

98. my god--next thing you know she'll be quoting shit she reads from the side of a truck:

[BlooInBloo]

100. "Stop freakin'! Call Beacon!" - hahaha!

I see that ad on buses all the time here in Seattle.

101. Hey, that's my church you're messin' with there . . .

[Gap Spanner]

103. A Place in Hell?

If Palin was truly concerned about supporting women, why charge rape victims for the rape kits? We need some new bumper stickers:

"Robing Rape Victims is not SUPPORT!"
"Sarah - do you take VISA for my rape Kit?"
"Rapin Palin, Victimizing Victims Since 2002" (or whatever year she instituted the policy

[Dinger]

104. Albright ROCKS!

Plain will go slither back under her rock soon, about 4 weeks is my guess.

[ogneopasno]

105. Smacked down by Albright? Palin will use it to prove she has foreign policy experience.

nt

[Baby Snooks]

106. She should be reminded of her other quote...

The quote about the deaths of 500,000 Iraqi children being worth it. I get ill by the thought of anyone giving Madelina Albright any credibility with regard to that quote. She said, she meant it. She only retracted it after people objected to it and wondered about the agenda in Iraq. Which was still George HW Bush's agenda.

Sorry but there's a place reserved in Hell for women who think the deaths of innocent children are worth it. Particularly when they have been sacrificed not for freedom but for oil.

Millions of lives for billions of barrels. The policy of the Bushes and the Clintons. Defended by their secretaries of state. Who defend the indefensible.

Of all the people Barack Obama should distance himself from, Madeline Albright is at the top of the list.

125. She doesn't really think ahead, does she?

Even if she'd got the quote right, how could she not anticipate that Albright would have a zinger in response? Dumb.

1) first generation in her family to walk upright
2) can't read newspapers
3) can't hardly read coffee cups
4) can't read writing on the wall
5) thinks ya-bitch-ya is a word
6) names her kids after closest object at hand
7) would rather have a prego daughter than teach sex education
8) would lose half a business cheating with First Dude's partner
9) does not realize that the light at the end of her tunnel is a train
10) thinks that winking at me on a television is a "Connection"
