Sarah Palin Lies To Oprah

Sarah Palin Lies To Oprah

On the afternoon of Oct. 2, 2008 — the day of the vice presidential debate last year — Politico’s Jonathan Martin broke the news that Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) presidential campaign was “pulling out of Michigan.” The next day, vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin told Fox News’ Carl Cameron that she disagreed with the decision. “I fired a quick e-mail and said, oh, come on. Do we have to call it there?” said Palin. “I want to get back to Michigan and I want to try.”

But in her interview with Oprah Winfrey, which aired yesterday, Palin claimed that she only “went rogue” on the Michigan message because she “didn’t know we pulled out of Michigan”:

WINFREY: Didn’t several times they say to you when actually you mentioned, when you were talking about pulling out of Michigan and you said I wished we’d stayed in Michigan. Weren’t you told then, Sarah just stay on script?

PALIN: Right, told after wards and that, that was always puzzling to me because if I were to respond to a reporter’s questions very candidly, honestly, for instance, they say, “what do you think about the campaign pulling out of Michigan” and I think, “darn I wish we weren’t. Every vote matters, I can’t wait to get back to Michigan” and then told afterwards that, “oh, you screwed up. You went rogue on us Sarah, you’re not supposed to be.” And my reminder to the campaign was, I didn’t know we pulled out of Michigan. My entire VP team, we didn’t know that we had pulled out. I’m sorry, I apologize, but speaking candidly to a reporter.

Watch it:

Clearly, if Palin told Cameron that she had sent an e-mail to the McCain high command disagreeing with the move, she knew that the decision had been made. Additionally, in their reported book on Sarah Palin, former Fox News embed Shushannah Walshe and CBS News digital journalist Scott Conroy reveal that Palin knew she had made a mistake in her interview with Cameron:

The e-mail that Palin sent was, in fact, essentially how she described it to Cameron. She wrote to her traveling staff and top McCain advisers, “If there’s any time, Todd and I would love a quick return to Michigan-we’d tour the plants, etc. . . . If it does McC any good. I know you have a plan, but I hate to see us leave Michigan. We’ll do whatever we had [sic] to do there to give it a 2nd effort.”

A senior aide replied, “Michigan is out of reach unless something drastic happens. We must win oh and hopefully pa.”

Palin replied that she “got it,” but her subsequent interview with Cameron had shown that she hadn’t. She acknowledged as much in a post-interview e-mail to senior staff, writing, “Oops-I mentioned something about that to Carl Cameron and it’s now recorded that I’d love to give Michigan the ol’ college try.” Later in the day, she tried once more. “It’s a cheap 4hr drive from WI. I’ll pay for the gas,” she wrote.

This isn’t the first claim that Palin has made in her book and during her promotional tour that has been contradicted by campaign e-mails. In her book, Palin wrote that “from the beginning” she liked the idea of appearing on Saturday Night Live. But in an e-mail thread from the campaign that was provided to the Huffington Post, Palin said she was “not thrilled” about the idea of going on the show because “these folks are whack.”

In an interview with Walshe and Conroy, The Atlantic’s Marc Ambinder noted that their book chronicles “fairly persuasively, a large number of what seem to be fairly egregious distortions” by Palin. “Sarah Palin is quick to cast aside people who cross her in even minor ways, and her unwillingness to tolerate much dissent often leads to an infallibility syndrome,” replied the authors, who later added that she has a “tendency to wildly exaggerate the truth.”

Update McCain is disputing an allegation made by Palin that the campaign stuck her with "a $50,000 legal bill to pay for the cost of vetting her as a potential vice presidential candidate." McCain said the bill was actually “over the troopergate” issue.
Update Shannyn Moore points out that Palin's claim to Oprah that she didn't consult with her children before agreeing to join the McCain campaign contradicts what she told Sean Hannity last year. This isn't this first time her narrative of the family's knowledge of her decision has been contradicted.
Update Walshe and Conroy have more on Palin's contradiction of her 2008 Hannity interview.
Update On page 298 of her book, Palin discussed her interview with Cameron:
We kicked the next morning off with a lot of prep for the day's events, including an on-camera interview atop the hotel with Fox News reporter Carl Cameron, with the St. Louis Gateway Arch framed in the shot behind me. Among his other questions, he asked what I thought of the campaign pulling out of Michigan.

"Yes, I read that this morning," I answered, then said I wished we weren't pulling out of Michigan -- that evvery single person and every single vote mattered, and I sure didn't want anyone to give up anywhere. No harm giving a little shout-out to the Great Lakes State, I though. No one had mentioned to the VP staff or me that the campaign was even considering pulling out of Michigan, much less that we already had. So when I was asked about it, I was caught a bit off guard, but I answered truthfully about having read about it in the newspaper. We moved on to the next question and wrapped up the interview. No big deal.

But we soon heard that back at headquarters, it was a big deal.The word came hurtling down that I had been "off script" with Cameron. Of course, it's pretty easy to issue candid, off-script messages when there is no script to begin with. It wasn't the end of the world, though, and I hoped headquarters would forgive me and move on.

They didn't. One or more McCain senior staffers would later anonymously tell reporters that I was "going rogue."

    Sarah Palin is a quitter.
    She quit being governor so she could sell books.

    She’ll quit the Republican party for the right price.


  2. Pilotshark says:

    Gees the big O was just as bad at serving softballs to her as larry King dose.

    and that laugh well it sounds so phony. But then again the big O was only trying to sale books guessing she gets a cut. After all she the Big O sales those well.

    This the mental illness that is conservatism. The act of constantly re-writing history to match their need to always be “right”. Like the kid on the playground who changes the rules of the game as he goes so he always wins, except this psychosis has infected an entire segment of American society.

    Three constants in life: Silly Sarah lied, the sky is blue, and conservatives hate America.


  5. laprofesora says:

    Oprah is a sell-out. It’s disgusting that the most probing question she could come up with was, “is Levi invited for Thanksgiving?” I will never forget her shilling for this lying, vindictive,nasty,manipulative, divisive, ignorant, self-centered mental patient. Those of us with a functioning cortex know that this piece of trash–er,”book” is full of lies, but the Palinites will hear nothing of it. The only thing that might wake them up is if we find out that Trig is Levi’s baby. Nah, they’d find an excuse to ignore that, too. Reality is such a bother.


  6. DNFP says:

    I’m sorry, I apologize, but speaking candidly to a reporter.

    Hey lady, that sentence has no verb, therefore, no meaning, no substance.

    Way to play it close to the vest…

    The walking talking contradiction of the right!You betcha!!!


  9. Purple State says:

    I just don’t CARE anymore about Palin.

    She hasn’t done anything but complain like a good GOP’er without providing sensible solutions.
    Her policies haven’t made much sense, nor have there been many made to light.
    All the media cares about her are her conservative philosophies and family lifestyle.

    I suppose the only real reason I care is that she could honestly get the mindless base together for a third-party run for the White House.


  10. angels81 says:

    Wow! Her book just came out and already its being sold for 1/2 price or less. Right wing magazines are buying the book in bulk lots and giving it away for a subscriptions to their mags. This women is a true griffter in the mold of a snake oil salesmen.

    I was watching Countdown as I was working out this morning, and saw that the McCain campaign staff (Steve Schmitt, et. al) has released internal e-mails debunking a lot of what Caribou Barbie is claiming in the book.

    She’ll quit the Republican party for the right price.

    How much do we need to pay her to stay with them?


  15. laprofesora says:

    I hope her nastiness to Katie Couric comes back to bite her big time. She is so transparent: it took her five schools to get her journalism degree, and there she sits with Katie Couric, who is living the life Sarah could only dream of. She’s stuck with five kids, one handicapped, while Couric flies all over the world interviewing world leaders. Careful, Scarah, your bitter is showing.

    The neo-con owned media empire has already anointed Sarah Palin as the next president.

    I would like to recommend Andrew Sullivan’s blog on THE ATLANTIC, called the Daily Dish.

    A regular feature topic of the Daily Dish is called “The Odd Lies of Sarah Palin.”

  19. Wiz says:

    Here is my list of things Sarah lied about to Oprah:
    She wasn’t “aware” that people were talking how about Oprah snubbed her by not inviting her on the show during the campaign.
    She was surprised that McCain’s campaign knew about Bristol’s pregnancy before she told them.
    She did not approve the message from the campaign that said she was thrilled that Bristol was pregnancy.
    She thought the biggest controversy in her life would be that she got a “D” in a college course.
    She said she was naive to believe that the media would leave her kids alone, that she wasn’t given the privilege of protecting her kids. That she respected that Obama said families were off limits.
    What she ate was a focus of the campaign.
    John McCain is all about empowering women by picking her
    She had a lot of appreciation what Hillary Clinton went though in her campaign.
    That they gave her couching cards with trial questions and answers, yet they really never gave her a script, but she was told to stay on script when they pulled out of Michigan.
    She didn’t know the campaign pulled out of Michigan until a reporter asked her about it.
    About her prep for the Couric interview she said “not so much”
    I don’t blame people for thinking I was not qualified after Couric interview.
    The campaign told her the Couric interview was a good interview.
    She was a lover of magazines and books.
    She said she was annoyed with the what do you read question, saying she was thought that it was a slam on Alaska.
    She called Couric: the perky one.
    She said it was easy to understand why a woman may have an abortion.
    Todd had a better reaction about a baby with Downs than I did.
    Levi goes by “Ricky Hollywood” now.
    She said she would hope for the best and pray for Levi
    It is lovely to think Levi would do such a thing, come to Thanksgiving.
    Levi needs to know he is loved.
    He needs to know he is part of the family.
    We are not really into the drama.
    Not so much disappointed that I was not allowed to speak on election night, but disappointed at the explanation I was given that VP candidates do not speak on election night, that she knew it was a lie that she has seen it.
    She said it would not make sense for anyone to believe that she would quit the Governor for selfish reasons.
    That being Governor would mean she could not talk about issues that were important to her.
    She is concentrating on 2010, 2012 Trig is heading into kindergarten.
    2012 is not on her radar screen.
    She calls Oprah the Queen of talk shows, Oprah has nothing to worry about her getting a talk show.

    P.S. No offense to dog catchers. You are MUCH more important than Osarah bin Palin and her anti-American followers.

    This woman is not a politician. She is an elitist celebrity undeserving of the attention she gets.

    Not unlike what would happen if Lindsay Lohan miraculously got elected governor of a small state.

    I don’t fault Oprah for not asking the hard-hitting questions, that doesn’t seem to be what she does anymore. From what I’ve seen of the interview, Oprah didn’t look all that impressed.

    Maybe we should thank her for laying the foundation to further expose the Quitter’s very bad habit of lying about EVERYTHING.


  26. evangenital says:

    Palin is a serial liar and fabulator.

    She just makes crap up, and says it like it’s Holy Writ.

  27. Badmoodman says:

    Sarah Palin Lies To Oprah

    – - No kidding? We get yet another version of the story about her asking her children if she should run for vice-president. Here’s her latest statement broadcast on Oprah:

    “This time, there wasn’t a family vote. Other steps in my political life, I’ve polled the kids, and I have abided by some of the results of the polls that the kids have partaken in. This time, no.”

    This is what she said last fall:

    “It was a time of asking the girls to vote on it, anyway. And they voted unanimously, yes. Didn’t bother asking my son because, you know, he’s going to be off doing his thing anyway, so he wouldn’t be so impacted by, at least, the campaign period here. So ask the girls what they thought and they’re like, absolutely. Let’s do this, mom.”

    I just want to reiterate the details of the first story. We even find the result of the girls’ vote: it was unanimous. And we discover that Track was not polled. But none of this happened at all.

  31. tom says:

    I don’t care if Oprah asked penetrating questions or not. Quaylin answers are never relevant anyway so it really doesn’t matter. She always serves up the same gibberish and “truthiness” no matter what the question.

    As for Quaylin, I don’t care what her party affiliation is either. My disdain for her is unrelated to that. She is merely a self-absorbed, deluded, vindictive, opportunistic, pathological liar. As such, she could be apolitical as far as I am concerned . . . she is still a pathetic, shallow soul and I cannot understand why anyone would follow her to the grocery store let alone the White House.


  32. evangenital says:

    Liberty Handjob is mad as a hornet, and is voting down all of us who think that La Palin is a huckster and a goddamned liar.


  33. Purple State says:

    TLH, two of those items are panic situations from people fearing the worst. The third is merely you with your panties in a wad regarding how the President SHOULD act.

  34. P.D. says:

    I saw some of the interview, and not only did she lie, the audience didn’t respond to her very well. Her laugh was forced and flighty, she answered questions incoherently. Quite frankly, she was a embarrassment. MSM created her. Now they are shoving her down our throats. I have been Palined out.


  35. liberalinaredstate says:

    the interview with Oprah was such a joke! Lacked substance, full of lies and thank you for pointing all of them out #19Wiz…Her laugh is so disingenous and annoying. No questions about all of her missteps on the campaign trail, chided Couric for her unfair treatment..”waaaa biden was treated better than me” She understands why a woman would go there refering to abortion, just don’t let them have that choice! She referred to Playgirl as porn, but supports Carrie Prejean, because she’s a good Christian! she still has NOT answered the question…WHAT DOES SHE READ!? No mention of her incessant use of Death Panels to scare the s**t out of senior citizens……Her obessession with Bill Ayers….What the f**k was Oprah thinking? and Gayle King calls palin charming, guess what? so was Ted Bundy!

    It is interesting that the trollies are calling for folks to ignore Mooseboogers. It is pretty bad when even they are embarrassed by her.

    Liz,

    Total obsession.

    Ziegler is a total Palin worshipper. He was there to confront Katie Couric about her Palin interview when she was to receive an award. He was there to protest Letterman’s Palin joke. He was there to interview her and sell it for a small price as a DVD.

    And he’ll be there over and over and over again.

    He will never be able to look at her through non-judgmental glasses, which is why I’m disbelieving if anyone was to tell me his review of her book was genuine and impartial.

    How do we know when Sarah Palin lies?

    She opens her mouth.

    Or so the 9,873,091 posts from the liberal blogs [thus far] keep reminding us.

    One can only hope this obsession with a dim witted evangelical right wingnut is a reflection of the utter lack of significant news worth covering.

    If not then we’re part of the problem too. Don’t kid yourself.


  76. PatrioticLiberalChristian says:

    I’m in a quandry regarding Palin. On the one hand, I find her pathetic, petty, uninformed, misinformed, disingenuous, dishonest, manipulative, irresponsible, and unworthy of even local attention to say nothing of national attention. On the other hand, she is gathering around her all the like-, small-minded individuals who would vote for her in 2012 and, thus, create significant problems for the GOP up and down their tickets. So, I have a HUGE personal incentive to just have her go away and an equally HUGE political motivation to assist in fueling her continued presence. What to do?!


  77. P.D. says:

    Hood@75. LOL! Interesting point. First the trolls ALWAYS defended their beloved Sarah, NOW they are telling us to ignore her? Very telling indeed….



  78. evangenital says:

    Where were all the goddamned teabaggers during the Bush/Cheney regime?

    And why didn’t we hear a peep from them concerning all the trillions wasted on those two stupid, useless wars?

    And these people are an example of fiscal responsibility?

    The teabaggers are a collection of the psychopathically stupid and cranky, who think everything will be just fine if a white person is re-installed in the Presidency.

    Teabaggers have no discernment, and no evidence of good judgment.

    They just follow all the horsecrap that FoxNews peddles, all for the sole benefit of Rupert Murdoch and his cronies.

    The GNOP is disintegrating thanks to the tea bagging idiots who think that Idealogical Dogma is the only criteria by which to judge whether or not you’re worthy to be a Republican. Far from cedeing control back to the repiggies in 2010, I think the democrats will hold on to, if not expand their hold on the Congress. As for Obama being a 1 termer?
    Good luck with that.


  86. Purple State says:

    I don’t see the GOP being pulled in a direction by the Tea Partyists, FVNY.

    I see it being fractured by it.

    There appear to be some Republicans who refuse to go in the direction of less government, and each of them will be called traitors and RINOs by the Tea Party base.

    In other words, it’s going to take much MUCH longer than a year for the tide to turn.

    FVNY says: Palin is the person left loves to hate. I think the Left spends more time discussing her than does the right. Get over it already. She’s not even in government anymore. She lost the election. Move on!

    It was the Right that promoted her, and the Right that still defends and promotes her.
    Therefore the Left pays attention to her, because she is still supported by the right.

    SHE still insists on interjecting herself in national politics because it makes her money, and the MSM promotes her because she gets eyeballs for advertisers from both her supporters and detractors, which makes the MSM money.

    If Sarah just STFU and went to work at Walmart where she belongs and if the conservatives in the media STFU about her, then she wouldn’t get our attention either.

    But until that happens, she matters.

    If politics is only about continuation of past trends, as FVNY suggests, then the trend of having 43 white male Presidents over our entire republic’s history would not have been broken by the election of 2008. Against the trend of mid-term loss of seats in Congress by the majority is the fractured GOP with its flailing fringe and its do-nothing opposition to everything the Democrats offer. The NY23 vote was touted as a beginning of the GOP’s retaking of Congress, moving more conservative – until the results came in.

    Anyone who says they can predict the results of the 2010 elections is engaging in wishful thinking. There are too many factors in play.

    November 17th, 2009 at 11:25 am

    Or, it could be that this “whole segment of the voting public” marginalized itself. Where were the “tea-parties” when Pres. Bush was in office? Where was the “spending like drunken sailors” when Pres. Bush turned the Surplus into the biggest deficit in history? Why don’t these same people decry the doubling of the national debt by the then-majority Republicans and Pres. Bush?

    Why is it that this “whole segment of the voting public” coudln’t find a voice until AFTER the culprits left office?

    Don’t get me wrong, I still think that the US is going to have to bite the bullet and make some hard decisions that Pres. Bush was too much of a wuss to make, like lower spending and higher taxes. When you run up the “national credit card”, eventually you have to stop the spending spree and pay off the debt you made. I think it’s just pathetic that the so-called “whole segment of the voting public” is blaming Pres. Obama for the excesses of the Bush Adminstration.

    Why doesn’t this “whole segment of the voting public” allow Pres. Obama the same excuse that Pres. Bush used for 4 full years: Clinton did it, not me!

    The fundamental spirit of the Constitution is a simple one: “We founding fathers don’t know everything, so amendments can be made to make up where our vision was insufficient to predict the future.”

    The Constitution was meant to be a living document, not something written in stone and never allowed to change. The process of amending the Consitiution is intentionally difficult to allow changes to be carefully considered before being added. Just because the Constitution supported slavery at the begining doesn’t mean slavery should be permitted today.

    FVNY and his side-kick, the big fat, ugly Straw Man: “Why should bureaucrats in Washington decide every aspect of life? You want the feds to control health care, the economy, education, private businesses, everything.”

    What a fricking drama queen. I don’t know anyone who wants the government to “decide every aspect of life” and you don’t either. Stop pretending you do. I want a national single-payer health care plan similar to Medicare. I want public education for all citizens. I want the economy regulated enough to prevent monopoly and severe economic injustice. And I want private business to be subject to some regulation and taxation.

    It’s a long way from there to “government controls everything.” Get a hold of yourself, drama queen.

    So you feel the US Government won’t let you take care of yourself? You are free to find a country where the government will let you do whatever you want. Good luck with that.

    Right. You posted that on another discussion yesterday and you were back in 10 minutes. So much for your “private sector job.”

    Yeh, right.


  199. NinerFan says:

    FVNY: “I’ll create more wealth for you all to redistribute as you see fit!”

    You claim to have paid about $100K in taxes last year. That means you made about $286K in earnings. Under current proposals, the most I can figure your taxes will increase is by about a thousand dollars at the most. This is less than 1% of your earnings and less than a 1% tax increase on what you already pay. So, cry your big wet tears, whiner. Nobody around here cares about your one thousand dollar tax increase.

    Wow, thanks so much for putting words in my mouth that I never said, FVNY! Seems that you’re the one telling me what I believe.

    How does this sound: FVNY wants to be able to make money and not pay any taxes at all! FVNY wants others to volunteer for the military, while FVNY sits at home and refuses to support the military by joining. FVNY wants to have all the benefits of American life, but refuses to pay for anything that America gives him!

    Seems that FVNY is his own worst enemy, telling others how they believe, but refusing to admit he does such a thing.

    FVNY has proven that he is an ultimate right-whiner, as he tells everyone what they think, but complains when anyone guesses the truth about what FVNY thinks.

    Democrat Soldier, like most right wing weasels, FVNY will not claim that he didn’t support Bush. History repeats itself. None of the right wing weasels would admit to ever voting for Nixon by the late 70’s. That’s the way they are. Lies come easy.

    We have choices here. We voted for Obama by a wide margin. Most of us want everyone to be covered for health care. If you want to call the shots, try winning an election (you must remember that line – conservatives used it a lot in the early part of the decade).

    This is one of the reasons why Bailin’ And Failin’ Palin is, in my opinion, unfit to hold federal office — consistently, when she or members of her staff have dropped the ball, she’s tried to pass the buck and avoid taking responsibility by claiming that nobody gave her the information she needed. Bear in mind that this is exactly the same excuse which she’s already used several times this year when she’s backed out on scheduled personal appearances at short notice…in almost every instance, she claimed that she had never actually agreed to appear and that nobody had ever contacted her about the event.

    Let’s consider this paradox for a moment…the same woman whom some people have described as a “pit bull in lipstick” conveniently (not to mention implausibly) tries to portray herself as a passive and helpless victim whenever she goofs up or makes a gaffe. What she fails to realize is that after a while, using the same excuse over and over again only makes it look as if she’s “crying wolf” — and even if this were not the case, the claim that people keep leaving her out of the loop and not giving her critical information doesn’t make her look good no matter how you try to slice it. It suggests that she A) is disorganized, B) doesn’t pay enough attention to detail, C) lacks good judgment when it comes to picking staff, D) is actually not nearly as tough and assertive as she’s frequently portrayed as being, or E) some combination of the above. None of these traits are good ones for a leader to have, which is probably why it’s just as well for the people of Alaska that Palin decided to step down from the gubernatorial seat…especially since it was more or less on the grounds that people were picking on her. You know what they say…if you can’t stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen. If Palin can’t handle the fact that not everyone is going to like her and that everything she does is subject to scrutiny, then she really shouldn’t be pursuing a career in politics and certainly not at the national level.

    As if that weren’t bad enough, Palin is accused of being “quick to cast aside people who cross her in even minor ways” and it’s said that “her unwillingness to tolerate much dissent often leads to an infallibility syndrome.” Am I the only person who finds this description oddly and disturbingly familiar? Hmmmm…do the letters GWB ring bells for anyone?

    You talk polls. I talk election results. The Dems over the last 40 years elected Jimmy Carter after Nixon resigned and Bill Clinton who only won the election because Ross Perot took 19% of the vote away from GHW Bush and that was because the American people did not want a RINO in the White House spending money. I’m talking facts and you’re talking sh it! Do you have any other weak theories I can shoot holes in?


  278. EugeneDebs says:

    FVNY once again you show that you are a liar and stupid beyond human comprehension. What made our country the most prosperous nation in the world was the investments MADE by our people IN America. The infrastructure like Rural Electrification and the highway system that made it possible for a dynamic working class to CREATE THE WEALTH. You are too stupid and brainwashed to know ANYTHING. Not to mention a nationlized military the best the world has ever seen. If we followed your selfish ignorant economic Darwinism. We wouldnt HAVE those things. Rural republicans would still be reading by candlelight and the ineffeciencies in our transportation system would have stunted our economic growth. Ignorant selfish pieces of shit like YOU dont love America enough to invest in it. You are not only stunningly stupid and uninformed you flat out DONT know what you are talking about

    FVNY you are both stupid AND a liar. I DID talk election results.

Just how stupid are you trying to make yourself look? You also keep saying that people like YOU outnumber people like us. Polls show that in this like everything else you say you flat out dont know what you are talking about. You can keep adding your stupidity with your ignorance regurgitate what you were told to think over and over.

    I explain it to you like your were 4th grader or a railroad worker. BHO only won the election because the independents and the libertarian wing of the GOP were not going to send another RINO to Washington. They either voted for BHO or abstained. But that won’t happen again. BHO is a 1 term president and the GOP will control the White House for the next 8-12 years, Hopefully they’ve learned there lesson and won’t disregard the will of the American people by being Democratic/Socialist-lite.


  297. EugeneDebs says:

    FVNY

    My GOD you are stupid. You EXPLAINED NOTHING. You gave your OPINIONS, which considering what a stupid selfish koolaid drinking loser you are means very little. You are obviously so stupid you think if you repeat something it magically becomes true except you arent TALKING to fourth graders, who themselves are far above your intellectual level. You are talking to people ten times smarter than you will ever be. Your OPINIONS about WHY Obama won and your predictions about what WILL happen mean NOTHING. FACTS. I know a moron like you HATES facts as much as vampires hate holy water but lets talk about the FACT that Dems WON the popular vote in four of the last FIVE presidential elections about the FACT that the popular vote is a DIRECT indication of who the American people trust in the white house and the FACT this FACT utterly destroys your ignorant baseless assertion about the American people NOT trusting Dems in the White House. Lets also mention the FACT you have been punked here AGAIN

  300. livelongandprosper says:

  301. FVNY says:

    You choose 4 of the last 5 election to suit your needs (even though they didn’t win the White House 4 out of 5). And I made the argument that Clinton shouldn’t have even won the ‘92 election but did because people were disheartened with the RINO GHW Bush and voted for Perot. You conveniently forgot to respond to that post. And if I go back further to demonstrate the fact that the Dems haven’t held the White House for long, than you yell foul. You’re a liar Debs!


  302. EugeneDebs says:

    CONVIENIENTLY because THAT is what is relevant to the ignorant baseless assertion you made. Perot took votes from both sides. Polls at the time showed Bush wouldnt have beaten Clinton anyway. As usual you are a moron who has no idea what he is talking about.

    You going back BEYOND TWENTY YEARS really has little to do with NOW. Your statement wasnt that the American people dont HISTORICALLY trust Dems in the White House it was the American People DONT, try to keep up here I understand how stupid you are but this is a PRESENT TENSE not DIDNT, trust Dems in the White House. YOU were trying to use stats that arent as relevant as MINE not the other way around. Are you so stupid you are even going to make the ARGUMENT that who got IN the white house is more relevant to the question of who the American people trust in the White House than WHO WON THE POPULAR VOTE?

    Look. You are incredibly stupid that is a given. It is time to remind you of the first rule of holes. It is time for you to stop digging. You have been punked. It happens all the time to you its just you are too stupid to know it. You were full of it. I showed it. Get over it.

    Hahahahaha. There goes Debs again with his polls. Of course Perot stole more votes from Bush and of course it cost Bush the election you leftist mo ron. And end the popular vote bull sh it. Winning the election is what matters.

    And the only thing you’ve proven is the the radical left is too stupid to realize that your policies don’t jive well with the rest of the American public. So please, take your thievery someplace else and go redistribute some else’s wealth you communist slug!

    My GOD you are stupid. Polls are the only evidence available to tell the story. YOU, as usual, IGNORE the facts in favor of your fantasy delusions. OF COURSE you are stupid. The EVIDENCE that, you know, EXISTS show that Bush would not have won head to head against Clinton. Just like the EVIDENCE shows how stupid you are. You arent stupid because you are a rightwingnut, you are just STUPID and it may be WHY you are a rightwingnut.

    I have PROVEN that you are stupid and that your ignorant baseless assertion about who the American people trust in the White House is just the ignorant spewage you have been programmed with. Your IGNORANT talking point about taxes being theft shows how un-American you are and how much you hate America.

And when someone disagrees with the government having that kind of power over their citizens, your only argument is calling them stupid.

All you guys know how to do is to form groups so you can strong arm more intelligent men into paying you more than you deserve.

You never made a DIME with your labor. Yet you show a quote that is showing you are a parasite. THAT is how stupid you are. This society and your fellow citizens have made HUGE investments that allow YOU to live and you are so selfish when its time for YOU to pay BACK what you owe you snivel like the punk you are that it is stealing from you. Its like you want to pirate your electricity and whine pitifully when you get an electric bill that Edison is stealing from you. If you dont WANT to live in a society and pay for it then get the hell out.

    Surely you arent SO stupid and delusional you think YOU are more intelligent than I am or most of the posters here are? What a punk you are. When businesses get together or wealth gets together to lobby or work for THEIR best interest it is fine but when labor gets together to work for a fair share of the wealth THEY CREATE, then you whine WWWWWWAAAAAAHHHHHH the worst of it is you are so stupid you dont even KNOW how pathetic you are. Do you think people choose to do productive work because they are stupid? I have an IQ that puts you little pea brain in the toilet. When I was in 8th grade I was the only kid in my SCHOOL in my math book. I CHOSE to be a worker because I have never made a dime off another mans sweat and I never will. Because I want to contribute and NO ONE in this society does more and gets less to make this society a success than those who go to work. You are an ignorant soulless prick. You got PUNKED and are pissed. You are stupid and that isnt my fault. You continually change the subject back to THIS because your money is YOUR GOD. It is sad and pitiful and you are a total waste of precious oxygen


  324. Xisithrus says:

    No, I haven’t forgotten. The majority of Republicans are corrupt as well.

    So why are you sitting here pointing fingers at people here? I, for one, have never lobbied for pork, have voted for subisidies and I dont get any checks from the government. I dont get social security, I dont get food stamps, I dont get a damn thing.

  330. FVNY says:

    You come into the discussion late dbadass and then take comments out of context. DEBSutante was trying to demonstrate the the American people agreed with the progressive agenda of many in the democratic party. i used the presidential election results to refute that argument.


  331. Trollspotter says:

    Wow, so this is still going on?

    For what it’s worth, the FVNY’s “John Galt” quote is a further giveaway considering how aaronk had a thing for Ayn Rand hacks Yaron Brook and Richard E. Ralston.

    Life is not an Ayn Rand novel, aaronk/FVNY.

I PROVED how stupid and wrong you were by pointing out the Dems WON the popular election in four of the last FIVE presidential elections which is EXACTLY ABOUT who they trust in the White House.

    Life is also not about re-enacting the Lord of the Flies or economic Darwinism. It is not about how much you can TAKE.

You are so pathetic that not only are you incredibly brainwashed you are still brainwashed from the 80’s. No one is trying to make America Communist in any real sense.

    FVNY does nothing BUT put words into other people’s mouth! It’s the only way that FVNY can argue, he makes crap up, claims that you “said” it, then goes off on his straw-man argument based soely on his telling you what you said!

    FVNY is an attention whore, who cannot suppoort his arguments without his false claims over what he tells you that you said.

    It’s too bad that FVNY hates America and the troops so much, otherwise we could all feel sorry for his lying a$$.

    (As long as FVNY lies about what we say, I’m going to continue to follow his lead, and lie about what he says, while claiming it’s the truth. Use the right-whiner tactics against the right-whiners!)


  357. barfly says:

    Atlas Shrugged was fiction, sonny.


  358. FVNY says:

    Then why would you be against increasing the top marginal rate again to get that money back?

    Because not every wealthy person is a criminal who deserves to have their money confiscated by the government. Its not right. I’m all for prosecuting the wealthy criminals who prey on the weak. But just looking to take from certain groups of people because they are “rich” is unfair. And who defines “rich” anyway? Thats a lot of power for the government to have over its citizens.


  359. barfly says:

    Because not every wealthy person is a criminal who deserves to have their money confiscated by the government.

    If they got wealthy in America, they should pay for the priviledge.

    Boo hoo. they get a break on their SSI deductions every year. For some, it’s hundreds of millions of tax-free dollars, while I have to pay on every dollar I earn. That’s not fair, or equitable.


  364. FVNY says:

    Ok folks, its that time again. Have a good night you regressive commie freaks!


  365. dbadass says:

    What is it that makes you wish to be rich? Do you measure “richness” by the number of pennnies you have or do you have a more sophisticated understanding of what richness really is?


  366. EugeneDebs says:

    FVNY did you REALLY pull another ignorant strawman argument out of your lower torso just to show once again how incredibly stupid you are? Taxes arent theft. They wont become theft because in your ignorance and selfishness you keep saying they are.

    Democrat Soldier is right. This punkass moron is an attention whore. He drops by derails a thread to make it all about him and is far too stupid to even come close to making cogent arguments. He just thinks he wins if he is stubborn enough to wear everyone else down. He is simply pathetic.

    He is clearly a LIAR. He is clearly STUPID. He doesnt care if what he says makes sense or is true he just keep saying something, ANYTHING, till he wears down reasonable people. Only a lonely, ignorant piece of filth with no life, with no one who likes him or respects him, living a life of misery would troll the way FVNY does. I would pity him but if I did SlappyBeggerino would smell it and come by immediatly

    Please, the tax cuts went to that very group 1% because it would create jobs. It didnt happen. And besides that the Bush tax cuts are backloaded and set to expire. Why didnt Dubby make thm permanent?

    It’s even more amusing than that! FVNY is intentionally distorting what other people say in order to “refute” them with his twisted logic!

    I say that as long as FVNY continues to intentionally distort other’s words to suit his opinions that we do the exactt same thing to FVNY.

    So, FVNY, why DO you hate America so much? Is it because you cannot get your fascist agenda to replace the Constitution?


  371. EugeneDebs says:

    Mr Duke You ignorant punkass troll. Why are you so proud of your abject stupidity? Doesnt it embarass you that you are still frightened and hypnotized by the Clenis that huants your dreams? Just get out of your closet and send Bill your nake e-mails. We all get you are a stupid pile of dogshit that masterbates to the image of Bill while dreaming of the Clenis. Just get it over with

    No Mr Duke is a troll. He KNOWS he is too stupid for a conversation. He is a coward who will run as soon as anyone slaps the stupid out of him which happens everytime he posts


  382. Mr.Duke says:

    Here is my basic tenant. Every time I read stupid statement on this website, I can find an example that shoots it down. By the way, whatever happened to William Jefferson, you know, the crooked democratic rep from the Bayou? I have read nothing on his final judgment on this website. No balance here at all.

    Well, below, is the final outcome. You will never read about it here.

    Nearly all political hacks lie. That is the point. That goes for both major parties. If you don’t believe that, well, I can’t help ya.

    Mr Duke

    NO here is your basic tenet. You are stupid. You shoot down NOTHING you regurgitate the ignorant bile Rush TOLD you to think. You spew ignorance and stupidity because it is all you have. You come here to annoy liberals because you have a miserable life and KNOW you are always going to be too stupid to accomplish anything and trying to stop OTHERS from enjoying themselves or having a meaningful discussion is the best a moron like you can hope for and you settle for taking YOUR enjoyment from that. You are a punk a moron and a troll and you always will be


  386. dbadass says:

    No balance here at all.

    Did an blind follower of ideology like you actually keyboard that?


  387. EugeneDebs says:

    Mr Duke. We get how stupid you are but are you REALLY saying that we should IGNORE lies from Sarah because people in politics LIE? REALLY? You think that is a cogent argument? My GOD you are stupid. I guess we should ignore bank robberies because there are a lot of them


  388. EugeneDebs says:

    Mr Duke you MORON this isnt a news site. This site has a purpose. Do you criticize your plumber for not fixing your car too? Do you even realize how incredibly stupid you are?

    You wanted to talk. I have little interest really. Typical liberal response from you. You don’t like the truth so you now don’t want to read my thoughts. Twisted logic. Finally, life experience has shown that the liberal/socialsit agenda is a failure. How is that 45 year war on poverty doing? Trillions of dollars down a sinkhole. Thanks to LBJ for expanding the welfare/nanny state. Once these entitlement programs start then only get bigger, more expensive and wasteful. They never go away. What a joke. With that it is dinner time. Good night. Good luck.

  394. NinerFan says:

    Mr. Duke: “No balance here at all.”

    What makes you think anyone wants or expects balance around here? Last time I checked, this is a progressive blog called “Think Progress.” Do you expect balance from Red State or Free Republic?

    And, Tom, maybe Duke was just presenting one of his basic tenants to us for our amusement. I imagine the tenant has some great stories about what it’s like to have Duke as a landlord.


  395. NinerFan says:

    Then what the hell are you doing here?


  396. dbadass says:

Wanna explain what metrics you used to draw this only person premise of yours because you do realize I assume that by declaring him the only one you have condemned yourself to being totally out of touch.

  405. AmericanMuser says:

    America’s elite and Palin-haters worldwide should not be so quick to dismiss or disregard the future of Sarah Palin. No other national political figure so completely fills Middle America’s vacuum of frustration and hate for the Left and Right as Sarah Palin.

    Middle America has been abandoned by the Left and Right, who have saddled it with a $700 billion taxpayer bailout, an unnecessary and costly war, a soaring deficit, and an overall neglect of the pocketbook issues that impact Middle America every day. Where are job creation, quality public education, affordable healthcare, and fiscal responsibility, to name a few?

    Middle America is mad as hell at the Left and Right and they just might be willing to roll the dice on someone like Palin, who lacks an Ivy League education, is a working class hockey-mom with a disabled child, and who has blue-collar roots like many of the folks in Middle America. The status quo on the Left and Right have produced nothing material for Middle America, which may toss conventional wisdom into the toilet and throw the lever for Palin, figuring it has nothing to lose, and it may be right.

    The Ivy League educated on the Left and Right have delivered little to nothing for Middle America, perhaps precisely because they are out of touch with the issues that someone like Palin understands personally.

    However, to say that Palin is a salmon swimming upstream is an understatement. The results of a CBS News survey released Monday indicate that 66 percent of respondents do not want her to run for the White House in 2012. Seventy percent of respondents to a CNN/Opinion Research poll said she is not qualified to be president.

    More difficult for Palin is the fact that the trend is not her friend—public opinion is moving in the wrong direction right now.

    In the CBS survey, 43 percent of GOP respondents said Palin would have the ability to be an effective president. Only 11 percent of Democrats and 29 percent of independents agreed.

    However, there is an opportunity for Palin among independents, where Palin’s rating is 41 percent favorable, and 48 percent unfavorable, according to Gallup.

    These numbers are not great, but there is plenty of time if she can move the needle by appealing to Middle America and independents, which is where elections are won or lost.

    Clearly, Palin has put the monkey on her back, especially with her resignation from Alaska’s governorship in July, a self-inflicted wound that will be difficult to explain away. However, don’t put it past Palin to put lipstick on this pig and paint herself as a victim of politically motivated and baseless ethics charges that prevented her from successfully serving the people of Alaska, forcing her to do the noble thing and take the bullet by resigning.

    We can say what we want about Palin, but no Republican in recent history has created such frenzied excitement across the country as she has. Just take a look at the fervor she stirs as she wheels across Middle America on her book tour.

    Perhaps this is a misreading of the tea leaves, but one could argue that she creates a wee bit more excitement than Mitt Romney or Mike Huckabee, the two Republican front-runners for president in 2012. In the land of the blind, the one-eyed woman just may be queen.

    No Mr Duke it has nothing to do with your education it is your profound stupidity. A moron of truly monumental proportions. As for us not liking the truth how would you know. You are far too stupid to know the truth from an icecube. This is simple. You are ignorant. You are astonishingly stupid. You were born a moron and you will die a moron. It is your sad fate to go through life just this stupid.
