The Grifta From Wasilla

Oct 8th, 2011

Again, I have been eating crow this week for having stuck to the position that Sarah Palin would run for the Presidency.

Long after most of her cheerleaders and detractors alike had formed the opposite view, I was blogging posts like this one    --> HERE.

Yup. I got it totally wrong.


Of course, I don't think any of us have actually seen this sort of behavior from a supposedly "serious" candidate before. Jon Stewart nails her to the wall for her obscene profiteering:

"The only way Sarah Palin's fundraising scheme would be dishonorable is if she had known her decision all along yet continued to dangle her indecision as a lure to donors."

WOW... It Gets Better

Sarah's FB, dated March 28, 2010 — three days after the crosshair image was published: 

“In the battle, set your sights on next season’s targets! From the shot across the bow – the first second’s tip-off – your ………leaders will be in the enemy’s crosshairs­, so you must execute strong defensive tactics. You won’t win only playing defense, so get on offense! The crossfire is intense, so penetrate through enemy territory by bombing through the press, and use your strong weapons – your Big Guns – to drive to the hole. Shoot with accuracy; aim high and remember it takes blood, sweat and tears to win.”

It Was Wrong Before The Shooting Started

Most liberals, progressives, Democrats, moderate Republicans and decent Americans were appalled when Sarah Palin's PAC used weaponized language last year in conjunction with the release of this cute graphic. We were met with derision from her supporters and the far right as if we were somehow trying to suppress her speech. We were not. As a matter of fact, most of us argued clearly that such imagery is simply contrary to the fundamental principles of the Republic.
