Party hacks accusing Sarah of not knowing their history, only to find from Ivy League history professors that she's right.

:ohno:

This attention whoring by Palin is really beginning to annoy me. We all know she'd go down in flames against President Obama, and yet she's touring the country for what? She's obviously milking out as much attention for herself before she ends up saying that she won't run for POTUS and the attention turns away from her and to Obama's true contender. With this recent "tour," she's really proven that she's just another politician...one who cares about herself more than the country. Seriously, I'm beginning to wonder if people will ever end up going into politics to actually serve the nation and not their over-inflated ego. While I disagreed with her policies while her name first became famous, at least she seemed honest and caring about the country. But like most politicians, it turns out she's just another scumbag.

watching the mental gymnastics of conk eggheads covering for someone who misspoke is one of the more amusing episodes of the last little while...

she misspoke - then had an adviser tell her that - then some history major pointed out that "technically, he did tell them" so that they can play a "gotcha" game on the press "proving" that they are "out to get poor ol sarah"

she's a media whore, shameless and pathetic - a sideshow far more interested in self-promotion and making money than in either making the country a better place - or even just winning office...

And this makes her different from Obama how?

Obama is just an idiot when it comes to economic policy. But as President, he clearly needs to be in the spotlight to try to advance his agenda, but at least he's trying to actually accomplish something, whether you agree with it or not. Palin on the other hand is a common idiot on all counts, hiding behind the guise of good conservative American values to further an agenda that only includes herself and her family. I highly doubt she even cares about politics or this country; she's a charlatan. The Republican Party and the Tea Party have good people who think their policies can help this country. Palin is absolutely not one of them.

Palin is in a class by herself.

That being said, Obama's Obamaisms are as good and as numerous as Bush's Bushisms.

One of my favorites so far is Obama referring to Austrians speaking Austrian.

Man, I can't believe the ignorance here. Nobody cares that Sarah saved the people of Alaska from getting financially raped by Big Oil. As if that's a bad thing.

:ohno:

That was a good one. Like Bush referring to Austria's kangaroos.

I think it's just the money and winning office isn't even an afterthought. You really think somebody who quit from the pressure of the softest elected gig in politics really wants to be President?

She'll go down in flames in the primaries - there will never be a direct Presidential contest between the two or I'll move to Canada.

She's an ignorant attention whore, a shitty mother, and quit on the Alaskan citizens who gave her an opportunity to prove her meddle in the leadership arena -- real American values... :coffee: ...she needs to move back to Wasilla and run for Water Commissioner... :roll:

I can personally attest that a lot of Austrian dialects may as well be considered different languages. :nod: :ugeek: :ugeek:

Conkupedia! :thumb:
Since Ms. Palin described the ride last week while she was visiting Boston, Wikipedia’s Paul Revere article page has been the site of a mini “edit war.” And the page has gone from a little-visited one — 2,000 or so page views a day — to a more heavily trafficked one, with54,000 on Saturday when Ms. Palin’s comments were gaining the most news attention.

Over the course of the weekend, people added sentences to the Revere article that repeated Ms. Palin’s claims. It can be hard to discern motives for changes on Wikipedia, and in some cases people appeared to be attributing the claims to Ms. Palin in order to mock her.

One editor, Tomwsulcer, added the following sentence: “Accounts differ regarding the method of alerting the colonists; the generally accepted position is that the warnings were verbal in nature, although one disputed account suggested that Revere rang bells during his ride.”

When the discussion board for the Revere article was ringing with complaints that this was a lie, Tomwsulcer replied that it should be included as a theory because a prominent American politician, that is, Sarah Palin, had said it. “If you follow Wikipedia’s rules,” he wrote, “we must maintain a neutral position, representing the mainstream position as well as disputed versions.”

He lost the argument, but others have been searching history books to find evidence to support Ms. Palin’s claims.


Ms. Palin’s supporters have made their mark on the Paul Revere article at Conservapedia, a right-leaning version of a Wikipedia-like encyclopedia.

The piece has been edited to read as follows: “He is famous for riding from Boston to Lexington, Massachusetts with William Dawes on the night of April 18, 1775 ringing bells to warn the British that colonists would exercise their natural rights to both bear arms and use them in an effort secede from the United Kingdom in response to Big Government bullying and interfering with Colony’s Rights.”

Such a no-brainer.

Every kid remembers from grade school when they learned about Paul Revere's famous alert...

"The Armed Colonists Live Here! The Armed Colonists Live Here!"
