Sarah Palin: “America’s Enduring Strength” from Sarah Palin on Vimeo.
I’d have gone with fuck you, you cynical cunts, we’re not going anywhere, so you’d better get used to it, but I can understand how a Christian might go a different rhetorical direction.
That was a dang near perfect response. The lady’s not for turning.
I look forward to seeing all those who criticized Palin for her silence come out and applaud her for this reasoned and well-written response. I’m just certain that they’ll all be terribly impressed and take back their earlier criticism.
she’s so pretty
Perfection. I can’t wait for the left to uncover her speechwriter. Maybe somebody will hack her email and get that for us.
Yesterday it was “Palin on the Lam”. Now they question the timing
I don’t see teh stringz? Fast writer– only 4 days for a good speech, whoever it is. Didn’t mention national healing anywhere though. You gotta have national healing in these speeches…
Question the timing? No! They should be applauding!
Sometimes, I can’t help but think that the guys in the media don’t much like Palin, and look for ways to put her down. I know it’s uncharitable of me, but I can’t help but draw such a conclusion sometimes.
Yup. A snowbunny hilljack breeder employs a (far, far) better speechwriter than the vaunted President of the (Socialist) United States; the Savior known as Teh Won. For what that’s worth.
Which could be to send what’s left of the left around the bend.
[…] have come to the same conclusion. Sorry, I don’t buy it. Consider the following thought […]
She should quit putting the spotlight on herself, thus forcing the failshit Republicans to spend time defending her.
Oh yes speaking of which, where are the Republicans on this?
Pawlenty? Hmmm, hmmm?
But does she consider it a good thing or a bad thing? I’m sure Trough didn’t hear her say.
Wouldn’t it be sweet if the MSM investigated and found out she wrote this speech – GASP! – herself? That would make her not a dopey backwoods Caribou Barbie dumbass unfit to hold office.
Kate Smith is only a YouTube away.
Republican party’s nuts are found in Mme Palin’s handbag. Oh yes and in there along with them is the hurdle that bumblefuck needs to clear tonight.
Priceless.
As a Christian, I have to say that’s the way I would go, too, Jeff. I might have added a “fucking” before the “cynical”, though.
Last month we had the no labels people, now we have angry rhetoric condemning angry rhetoric.
Does the collectivist mindset (Alert! Bad word!) kill the ability to recognize irony?
I’d stick another one in front of “get used to it” too, but that’s just me.

I personally think Palin hit all the right notes here; concern, courage of conviction, understanding of the Constitutional Republic that our forefathers set up. Once again she sounded, dare I say, Reagan-esque. Amazing, considering what a know-nothing, chillbilly, rubish, white-trash, redneck, christer she is…
That, and she didn’t go to the right schools, of course. ‘Cuz everyone knows Reagan attended
HarvardYalePrincetonMITCornellStanfordEureka College, andtaught Constitutional lawworked as a big time attorneywas a community activistwas a professional politicianwas an actor prior to entering public service.I like the way she called out the smear artists and those who would muzzle free speech in a civil manner, all while maintaining the necessary gravitas to be taken seriously.
It’ll be a hard act for the won to follow. But the media will give him the advantage of not televising her speech.
Well, maybe O’Reilly will. And regardless of how much you may despise Bill-O, one must admit he too called out the lefties for the reprehensible attempts to capitalize on this terrible episode-he called many of the right people liars on the air.
That was dang near pitch perfect, truth be told. Of course, those on the left will find something to criticize about it.
In a nearly eight-minute video, Sarah Palin says “journalists and pundits should not manufacture a blood libel that serves only to incite” hatred. Howard Kurtz on her un-presidential move and why “blood libel” offends Jewish people.
Daily Beast – Palin Goes Nuclear
With her defiant video, Palin continued—no, escalated—her war with the press
Sure seems to be a lot of inflammatory eliminationist rhetoric in this article.
ABCNews The Note has apparently just come up out of a four day meth crash:
BOTTOM LINE: Sarah Palin, once again, has found a way to become part of the story. And she may well face further criticism for the timing and scope of her remarks. She is already taking heat for her use of the term “blood libel” (see today’s Tweets)
un-presidential? Really? The comments on that article are a nice encapsulation of the weight of the liberal argument. I am pretty much tired of the playground taunting by the lefties as they crave her attention. She set the tone for bumblebums tonight. Thats what big money is watching.
All the ersatz, bush league pundits can do is scream louder. What an colorful collection of intellectual pygmies.
Jews own “blood libel” and “holocaust”. Blacks own “nigger”, “slavery” and “lynching”. Gays own “queer” and “fag”.
No one other than a member of the approved victim group can use these words.
(I therefore denounce myself.)
Palin has found a way to BECOME part of the story? She’s BEEN the story since Saturday, when the talking points went out that her Crosshairs graphics and “don’t retreat; reload” rhetoric were somehow responsible for the Climate of H8.
Well, the Jewish people who are offended should probably be scorned, too. But, I think the Jewish people that are offended already are pretty much in the progtard tent anyhow, so they may be a lost cause.
Yep. The audacity of these mother fuckers to say that Palin made herself part of the story is breath taking. No, the media did.
Isn’t blood libel the correct term? Doesn’t that matter even a little?
Heh, it sure isn’t corruption of blood, is it?
Breaking: ADL condemns Sarah Palin’s “blood libel”*
This guy Sargent proves himself an idiot to the extent he believes this. What a moron.
It actually does, but that’s why they’re condemning her use of it.
Conservatives speaking truth. That’s just evil.
Foxman: “While the term “blood-libel” has become part of the English parlance to refer to someone being falsely accused, we wish that Palin had used another phrase, instead of one so fraught with pain in Jewish history. ”
But if you use the phrase “Alabama Hot Pocket” you’ll get complaints from the Skynnard crowd.
this speech has really rallied the fan boys
So Mme Palin should have the MSM or any so designated groups of fuckheads proofread her speeches first? Lest she offend the easily offended?
This has really gone into the twilight zone.
she turned me into a newt
Yup Happy. And given the douchbags the vapors.
I liked life better five minutes ago when I didn’t know what an Alabama Hot Pocket was. And with all due respect hf, fuck you.
I’m ready for hugs
lol
I suppose so, McG.
This last election might have seriously messed with their delicate little minds. They’ve become utterly transparent.
So much so that I can’t help but think some new people might notice.
The few blood libel huggy jews I’ve read (Jen Rubin’s another, but the link won’t stick) grousing about Palin’s misappropriation of the historical term are starting to make me feel douchily guilty about grousing on the misappropriation of the term tragedy. Fuckers.
You know what’s funny? Alan Dershowitz, a Jew himself and certainly not a wingnut, doesn’t see anything wrong with Palin’s use of “blood libel” ( http://tiny.cc/adersh ). He explains it’s modern usage as a euphamism for being falsely accused.
And maybe it’s not all fanboys happyfeet, just folks that like the lefties being told to pound sand in a Reagan-esque way; in a manner that I can’t recall any others doing recently.
The last of the adults left the democratic party in 2000 – 2004 timeframe. Alls left are poverty pimps and bratty children.
Just curious, but what’s up with the pulled vimeo video access?
I’ll try linking the Rubin post, sdferr.
Yes, Rubin disappoints, while Podheretz doesn’t have the capacity to do so.
Podhoretz, that is.
sdferr,
I’m sensitive as well to the misuse/overuse of tragedy, but in the wake of the Tuscon shooting I looked it up at Merriam-Webster ( http://tiny.cc/zm0g1 )
I don’t even see a hat tip to self-infliction! But it seems that most folks these days are leaning on the “disastrous event” usage instead of, you know, just saying it was a disasterous event!
JP has long ago been hoist on his own petard.
I think it’s hoist with or by one’s petard, sdferr. Given that a petard is a small explosive, one cannot so much be hoist on it as one can be hoist by its effect.
Of course, I strongly denounce the use of violent imagery and demand I be shunned, if not have my entrails strewn about.
Are we ready for hugs?
No. I would not mind kicking some dishonest douchenozzle in the teeth though.
exactly. Just that.
You know, Bob Reed, if you keep inciting folks to tension and anxiety, all hell is likely to break loose.
Surely you don’t want that on your conscience.
I’m always up for a hug.
Well?
Liberty and speech have a price, sdferr. Jeff simply hasn’t paid Teh Man, is my guess.
Et tu, YouTube? We shall see.
Change comes though: what was pulled for a short time is now available again as it was before it was pulled, so maybe it was an affair at the source of the video rather than at its distribution points.
Well JHo,
All that violence is integral to my nature I guess; despite my attempts at reconciliation…
I suppose I should go sinker like most anonymous internet supermen, lest the FBI target me for inciting political violence; they know where I am anyway, it was a condition of the clearances I held.
And cablevision would probably give me up in the proverbial New York second, this being New York and all, anyway.
This seems to be an angle for the left.
Now it’s Palin that’s all accusey and shit. See how touchy the bitch is?
Heh, go to the nearest dock on your western shore, SW.
We should have someone there in around 5 weeks depending on the wind.
It’s been a while, bh. I’ll be waiting.
Will you have those ales ready, SW? I’ll do more than hug you for some good ale! What? Wait, er, I mean I’ll build you something. Twisted freaks! NTTAWWT, of course.
Hold the ales, OI. My brewbuddy has the notion of cooking up a pilsner like this one. What can I say – he’s bayrisch. Should be lagered in about 6 weeks, so start practicing the hugs.
Rubin and Podhoretz are two of the reasons I stopped reading Commentary Contentions months ago. Rubin in particular is a disgrace – she recently made a fool of herself on a Ricochet podcast by attributing remarks to Haley Barbour that he never made, for which she as soundly rebuked by Peter Robinson. She’s an ill informed, mouthy, less liberal version of Joy Behar – and fits right in at her new gig with the WaPo.
