Palin: Obama could win reelection if he ‘played the war card’ and declared ‘war on Iran.’
Palin: Obama could win reelection if he ‘played the war card’ and declared ‘war on Iran.’
This morning on Fox News Sunday, Chris Wallace conducted a 25-minute interview with Sarah Palin, a paid contributor to Fox News. Palin told Wallace that she doesn’t think President Obama will win reelection in 2012 if he “continues on the path he has America on.” However, Palin indicated that his chances of winning would dramatically change if Obama simply declared war on Iran:
WALLACE: How hard do you think President Obama would be to defeat in 2012?
PALIN: It depends on a few things, say he played — I got this from Buchanan — say he played the war card. Say he decided to declare war on Iran or decide to really come out and do whatever he could to support Israel–which I would like him to do. That changes the dynamics of what we can assume will happen between now and three years. Because I think if the election were today, Obama would not be elected.
WALLACE: You’re not suggesting that Obama would cynically play the war card?
PALIN: I’m not suggesting that, I’m saying if he did, things would dramatically change if he decided to toughen up and do all that he can to secure our nation and secure our allies. I think people would shift their thinking a bit.
Watch it:
Palin appears to be fine-tuning her position on Iran. Late last year, Palin mistook Iraq for Iran when she suggested that the U.S. has to crack down on Iraq to prevent nuclear war in Iran. In 2008, Palin appeared to claim that the U.S. needs to “win” the non-existent war with Iran. During her interview with Wallace, Palin also confirmed that she would consider running for President in 2012 and that it would be “absurd” not to.

War seems to be the primary export of the U.S. these days.
Sarah Palin is a deranged money grubber and a witless ninny.
The fact that so many “religious” people support her speaks to the utter bankruptcy and moral rot of their ideologies.
Sarah still needs to produce a birth certificate for Trigg.
No one ever recalls seeing her pregnant just before the birth of Trigg.
How about it, right-wingers?
Any photos out there showing her “great with child?”
February 7th, 2010 at 10:50 amIt’s really hard to think midget, Mike Wallace, is really asking tough questions, when earlier this week he said he’s real thoughts were of her sitting on his lap….
during the interview…
Can we plz get over this piece of eye candy that sexually frustrates old white guy?
February 7th, 2010 at 10:52 amExcuse me…Chris Wallace…
February 7th, 2010 at 10:53 amJesus H. Christ. Just what we need. Another chicken hawk warmonger like Darth Cheney & Rummy Vadar. What a vapid, empty-headed ignorant RETARD!!!
February 7th, 2010 at 10:55 amShe appears to have lightened her hair color, all the better to appeal to the teabagger Aryans.
February 7th, 2010 at 10:56 amPalin: Obama could win reelection if he ‘played the war card’ and declared ‘war on Iran.’
Which makes plenty of sense , seeing as how your Vice-Presidential bid went so successfully ……….Ummm………Well , seeing as how you’re such a military expert and historia……..n……Ummm…….Ah , fu(k it……
Shut the hell up , Princess Winksalot …………..
February 7th, 2010 at 10:56 amWhen she says, “say he decided to declare war on Iran…” it should disqualify her from elected office. News Flash, Sarah: the President can’t declare war. Please go away, repeat 8th grade civics, and come back when you’ve passed.
February 7th, 2010 at 10:58 amWhat Palin is saying that if she were President, she would start a war with Iran to ensure her re-election, that is what Bush did, and it worked for him. Bush was itching for a war with Iraq even before 9/11, and used that excuse to do it. The question is if Palin will remember if it was Iraq or Iran will be the one she attacks. May be she can write it on her hand.
February 7th, 2010 at 10:59 amObama would lose the 2012 election if it was known he was taking advice from Sarah Palin.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:01 amIt’s almost eleven a.m.
The Sarah Palin fan clubs all over the nation, also known as evangelical churches,
are getting ready for their booster club meetings and rallies.
Evangelicalism is pushing for more war, in order that the Rapture, Armageddon and the Second Coming should occur.
Evangellicalism is a death cult which celebrates the upcoming arrival of the Messiah in an orgy of blood, violence, horror and destruction.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:01 amIt’s a brilliant idea, you have to admit. Because there’s nothing that the American people want more right now than another war and another occupation. That would be a big hit!
February 7th, 2010 at 11:02 amRandom thoughts…meaningless folksy phrases…red meat…snide criticisms. That’s what Simple Sarah is made of. The whole interview was an utter and total train wreck. Apparently, she didn’t boot up her PalmPrompter for the occasion.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:03 amFess up, Sarah.
Where have those fingers been?
February 7th, 2010 at 11:04 amUh Oh Palin is touting her foreign policy experience again! Look out Iran she’s coming for you, even if she can’t find you on a map or can tell the diffence between Iraq and Iran. We’re still in debt, and will be in debt for decades, because of Bush’s war in Iraq and she wants to start one with Iran because of what she perceives to be bad US policy with Israel. Did you she have breakfast with Bill Kristol?
February 7th, 2010 at 11:04 amPeter C @ 7: Well, she didn’t know what the VP does, so I’m not surprised she doesn’t know the President’s role either.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:04 amThis vile woman is just a mean-spirited, self-righteous, ignorant, morally corrupt little cockroach. Please, someone turn on the light so that she scuttles away into the dark where she belongs!
And this suggestion gave Wallace a stiffy which raised Palin off his lap, right?
February 7th, 2010 at 11:05 amI watched the whole interview and got the biggest laugh out of Chris Wallace’s facial expression just when the show went back to “live” from the recorded interview. That said it all!
She repeated that old lie about Alaska supplying 20% of all US oil needs when they only supply 3.5% according to Fact Check.
She says her prime goal is to be a good Mom, yet an item receiving little notice is that daughter Willow was recently arrested with other teenagers, breaking into a vacant home for the purpose of partying with alcohol. And when does Piper ever go to school–she traveled with her mother during the campaign and on the book tour.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:06 amThat’s rich. Palin giving Obama advice on winning elections. She should have given herself some of her own sage advice when SHE was running. What a self-aggrandizing twit.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:08 amKratysue, Mommie Sarah is showing her daughters that all they need to get on in life is a nice rack, great looks and the ability to flirt with men.
Education is for dykes, uglies and losers.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:09 amThe Palin “handiprompter” is the big story of the speech to the teabaggers. It shows her weakness of memory, we now know how she manage to get through school, cheating. It apparently is life long habit she learned as a child. Now we also have learned this week, from released emails, that Todd did major portions of her job when she Governor. Cheating seems to be her way of getting through life.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:11 amCaribou Barbies is a NEOCONSERVATARD that that doesn’t understand the NUANCES of her statements, does she?????
February 7th, 2010 at 11:13 amFine, Sarah, now tell him how to take out each and every Iranian missile battalion within 90 seconds of crossing into Iranian radar range. It just happens that we don’t have enough Stealth Bombers to do the task.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:14 amHere’s what Sarah thought about on the campaign trail with Johnny McTeleprompter:

February 7th, 2010 at 11:15 amMostly what Obama would win if he played the “war” card would be a large mob of fellow citizens wielding pitchforks and torches. Plus, you know, a further besmirching of our reputation worldwide. Wanta start a new world war, Sarah?
February 7th, 2010 at 11:15 am17. Kraftysue says: She says her prime goal is to be a good Mom, . . .
Now, Kraftysue, you have no right to drag my children through the mud. We small-town folk, we raise good people. My kids are my business — especially when they benefit my business. You did read that chapter in my book devoted to the pain involved in giving birth to my first child, didn’t you? No other woman in history endured such pain and such as I and still, ya know, gave so selflessly with the lovin’ and the carin’.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:15 amSarah hopes that one of her daughters will marry the King of France one day.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:17 amWiz says:
It’s also obvious that since she had the answer written on her hand, she was made aware of the questions ahead of time.
Sarah Palin: the gift that keeps on giving…run, Sarah, run.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:17 amAnd it’s disgusting to blithly chat about “playing the war card” as if it were a game, and not the lives and health of thousands, if not millions of innocent people. Vomit.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:17 amI am at a loss to understand how the conservatives toss and turn at night over the national debt, but think it is a good idea to spend in excess of 40 billion dollars a month on yet another war! I guess if Obama used the same argument that the war would pay for itself like Bush did, it would all make sense. What kind of chromosome are these people missing?
February 7th, 2010 at 11:18 am“Onward, Christian Soldiers” is being sung at many a church this morning.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:20 amWould Caribou Barbie be willing to leave the other two WAR front we currently are engaged in and declare VICTORY and plunge right into BOMB BOMB BOMB Iran? Her total lack of intelligence once again shows that to the CONSERVATARDS it isn’t really important………
February 7th, 2010 at 11:20 amSarah Palin: shut your stupid mouth.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:24 amRapture is crapture, Sarah.
Jesus is not going to whisk you up into Heaven just before Armageddon commences, honey.
Stop all this war talk, and go home and raise your children, the sort of thing you tell so many other women to do.
One of your daughters gave birth as an unmarried teenager, and another has just burglarized someone’s home.

Actually, it’s an extra 21st chromosome that is their problem.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:24 amINSANE DANGER! Playing “the war card” to win a presidential election? War mongering is A THREAT to us all.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:24 amI needed a comma there, at 32, not a colon.
*not a product of S.C. education.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:25 amWho gives Palin any CREDIBILITY? Her words are meaningless. She quit her governorship mid early term. Do not trust this woman or “her people”. She spews DANGEROUS RHETORIC.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:28 amSomeone please ask Palin, on air, what she knows of Iran’s geography and military capabilites.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:28 amDumb runs rampant in the Republican party. Where do we begin….Palin, Bush, Reagan, Bachmann, Foxx, Wilson, Sessions, Inhoffe…..
February 7th, 2010 at 11:29 amIgnace-Liberals know that war mongering is a threat, and we are concerned about the loss of lives on all sides of the conflict, but teabaggers and republicans don’t care. They take a narrow view of war and don’t consider all of its consequences. That’s why we are spending billions and losing our soldiers in two wars.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:31 amIs this the day she was supposed to give somebody a lap dance?
February 7th, 2010 at 11:31 amWhat Sarah doesn’t realize is that if the election were held today against her or any other person the republicans could run – he would win. The first year accomplishments of the Obama administration are pretty impressive even before you put into play the fact that their actions kept our whole economy from melting down.
If this is the kind of insightful political commentary Fox News is getting from Sarah, I suggest they ask for their money back.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:32 amPalin openly – recklessly – advocating war with other countries to win elections? She wants to kill all those ‘innocent’ Iranians who marched and died in protests against their government this past year? Prepare to die if this woman is ever elected to the Oval Office. She will get us all killed.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:34 amPALIN: It depends on a few things, say he played — I got this from Buchanan — say he played the war card. Say he decided to declare war on Iran or decide to really come out and do whatever he could to support Israel–which I would like him to do. That changes the dynamics of what we can assume will happen between now and three years. Because I think if the election were today, Obama would not be elected.
So not only is it a moronic idea, she picked it up from noted racist, anti-semitic taint Pat Buchanan–just the sort of expert a future president needs!
February 7th, 2010 at 11:36 amIt would shore up our economy and reign in spending dontchano.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:36 amAfter this latest round of Palinesque fireworks, I have come away even more convinced that she doesn’t know “what’s right”, she doesn’t know “what’s true”…all she knows is “what works” for her own personal abition and self-aggrandizement. She could be dangerous…or she could be a very useful idiot. I hope it’s the latter.
And this is how I hope it plays out. Palin burns bridges with the republicans. Her continued media exposure narrows her following to the poor hapless teabaggers. Her vanity co-opts her into agreeing to run a third-party presidential campaign in 2012. She becomes for President Obama what Ross Perot was for Clinton in 1992.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:38 amI can’t figure out if she was trying to bolster her argument by referencing Buchanan, or blame him when she inevitably get called on this idiocy.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:40 amNah. I don’t think she’s capable of that much forethought.
And I thought that George W. Bush was the dumbest of the dumb…
February 7th, 2010 at 11:41 amEvangelital at #33, you are right!

Sarah’s sister-in-law burglarized a home. Another druggie in the family! No wonder Sarah wants Iran to be bombed…..IT WILL DIVERT ATTENTION AWAY FROM HER LIFE! LOL
February 7th, 2010 at 11:41 amNothing reins in spending like a good war. And its great for the economy. Look at how well China is doing.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:42 amHow does she figure that? No one that voted for him the first time would vote for him a second.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:44 amIf that happened, I should say.

Got it in one. This is exactly my prediction. But maybe we shouldn’t talk about it out loud? Wouldn’t want one of the trolltards to realize that it’s our eeeevil plan to encourage Sister Sarah and the teabaggers to electorally and terminally embarrass themselves!
February 7th, 2010 at 11:46 amSarah Palin is a tax cheat, so it makes sense she would want Iran bombed to take the brunt of her embarrassment!
February 7th, 2010 at 11:46 amPalin needs to take a more conservative tone and call for action on EVERY nation including Alaska. I’m sick of this non-pure sh*t!
February 7th, 2010 at 11:46 amShe’s F***’n RETARD! All she can do is repeat tired talking points; granted this is relatively recent, but it’s not her idea. For the life of me, I can’t understand what anyone sees in this woman regarding competence and leadership.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:46 amNah, sorry. The Bush/Cheney regime claims ownership of that tactic.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:48 amKay in Maine, I see that none of the teabagger law-and-order bunch have condemned the Willow Palin for burglarizing someone’ s private property.
There is always a different set of rules and a much lower standard for repiggies.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:50 amPalin: Obama could win reelection if he ‘played the war card’ and declared ‘war on Iran.’
There are more coherent ramblings uttered at the loony bin.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:51 amSarah Palin support for war against Arab and Moslem countries resulted from continuous tutoring by Neocons about the Middle Eastern affairs,
as Justin Raimondo of (Anti War.com website) wrote in Novemebr of 2008:
“Sarah had her head stuffed with Neocons talking points in the lead-up to the election when she was McCain’s running mate.
She was strapped to a chair and forced to read a year’s worth of Weekly Standards out loud while having the audio version of the complete works of Norman Podhoretz piped into her ears,poor pistol- packing’ Sarah was no match for her Neocon interrogators,who ironed all those right-wing populist quirks out of her malleable mindset”.
Raimondo also wrote:
” Comments by the governor of Alaska in her first television interview,in which she said NATO may have to go to war with Russia and took a tough line on Iran’s nuclear program,were the result of two weeks briefings by Neoconservatives”.
In another NeoCons talking point,
February 7th, 2010 at 11:54 amSarah addressing the Salina Area Chamber of Commerce in Salina Kansas:
“I believe the Jewish settlements should be allowed to be expanded upon, because that population of Israel is,is going to grow. She added :”And I don’t think that the Obama administration has any right to tell Israel that Jewish settlements cannot expand”.
These are exactly Neocons points.
Using the word ‘Grow and growing’ are nothing but repeating what Israel’s Natanyahu has been saying since he was re elected as prime minister of Israel to keep Palestinians land under occupation.
I don’t know what teabaggers are hoping to get by paying her all this money to come and sell them Neocons’ ideas that she was heavily tutored by Neocons?
Not sure which is worse… stupid Palin or the stupid people that support her.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:54 amThe little tot burglarized a house! H*ly shit! They’re the best thing since the Bush crime family!
February 7th, 2010 at 11:55 amYes, according to the teaching of the Conservative Jesus, it is okay to burglarized a private property 3 TIMES to fund your drug habit. See? Wow!
February 7th, 2010 at 11:56 amTalk about history redux!! This kind of jingoistic blustering was rampant in the South before the Civil War; how the ‘boys in grey’ could each whip 10 dirty Yankees with one arm tied behind their backs before breakfast…
And we all know how *that* turned out.
Well, I guess we don’t ALL know. Sarah must have failed 6th grade American History.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:56 amSarah Palin will applaud nukes being dropped on America by Dick Cheney if it means attacking Iran on behalf of Israel. See?
February 7th, 2010 at 11:57 amHey Kay in Maine! Gets pretty boring in Wasilla this time of the year. Girls just wanna have fun.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:59 amOops… did it again. Apologies. Voted Kay and Leftside Annie down by accident.
February 7th, 2010 at 12:01 pmThat tells me where we might be today if she and McInsane had won the election.
February 7th, 2010 at 12:01 pmToo scary.

February 7th, 2010 at 12:04 pmWhy, Cats, dayum! And here I thought I had successfully pissed off the VDT. :o(
February 7th, 2010 at 12:05 pmLeftside Annie, I tried to give you three thumbs up on one of your comments and it wouldn’t let me. :-) What a conundrum we’re in this morning. LOL
February 7th, 2010 at 12:07 pmThe woman is in. sane and so stu. pid that she used notes written on her palm for a Tea Party interview for just THREE talking points. Yet she criticized Obama for using a teleprompter, despite his holding forth twice for more than an hour each in Q&A sessions with members of Congress. Is this country lucky that she and McCain were defeated, or what? That the right keeps her on a pedestal while she shows her lack of understanding complex issues and hateful side is unbelievable, but they have no one else who can galvanize an audience. Pathetic.
February 7th, 2010 at 12:07 pmAmerica’s biggest problem is not Pakistan, Afganistan, Syria, Palestine, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Egypt, Libya, Somalia, or Yemen. Our biggest problem is a bunch of bloodthirsty, murderous, greedy, land grabbing, ultra right wing Jews in Israel and America.
Jews (with the help of the United States) murdering millions of defenseless Muslim men, women, and children is no different than Nazis murdering Jews.
February 7th, 2010 at 12:13 pmI’m tired of all these liberal organizations mocking Glenn Beck’s crying, BTW!
February 7th, 2010 at 12:14 pmThe fact that Palin has teabagger followers indicates that a least a portion of the tea party is nothing more than a new title for the fundamentalists. Palin used taxpayers money for personal reasons and she says that she doesn’t support big government except only when big government benefits her and her family. True tea party followers would reject Palin as a fraud.
February 7th, 2010 at 12:20 pmFortunately, in the complicated world we live in — the one that requires intelligent leadership — our president doesn’t get his policy advice from this mentally arthritic cupcake.
February 7th, 2010 at 12:25 pmOne should wonder about a religion that would count the end of human life as a “success”.
February 7th, 2010 at 12:26 pmWhy don’t they just open the broom closet an interview a wet mop?
February 7th, 2010 at 12:27 pmThat is such a “pre-20 January, 2009″ thing to post. The teabaggers are not just fundamentalists and it is rotten of you to state such. There are plenty of racists as well.
February 7th, 2010 at 12:28 pmPennsylvanianne says, “Is this country lucky that she and McCain were defeated, or what?”
Sarah Palin is bad but Joe Lieberman is a thousand times more dangerous. We came so close to putting a murderous, ultra right wing Zionist in the White House in 2000.
America’s greatest exports today are death and destruction. I thought President Obama was going to put an end to it but it’s getting worse. Both the Democratic and Republican Parties are controlled by greedy, bloodthirsy Zionists in Israel and America.
February 7th, 2010 at 12:29 pmDoes Spalin ever annunciate any POV that couidn’t be assembled by simple skimming and paraphrasing of a Bill Kristol OpEd piece by her husband and then rehearsed for hours on end so she can spew it back on Fox News for $1000 a second?

I live in rural Georgia and what I though was sad and fringe behavior from the republican-baptist people down here, has become mainstream America. The loss of 3 elections, Obama letting insane accusations (many from my own state’s congressman)go unanswered, the lack of guts from Democratic leadership, coupled with Palin bringing the tea-baggers into the GOP fold(it will happen)and the insanity of the Christian groups probably spells the end of the dollar.
BTW, I am a 16yr Vet, who is constantly amazed by the fear/war mongering that I witness everyday. It is sick, when I am told that I don’t love my country, by some fat, uneducated, too scared to sign up for military service/war lover, piece of shit, simply because I won’t agree that Obama is the Anti-Christ.
February 7th, 2010 at 12:35 pmSo..she wants ANOTHER WAR?? This lame excuse for a human has NO IDEA what that means, nor does she seem to care. She just reads the talking points. Sister turd-blossom has no clue that this would probably be the beginning of a true World War 3 and that SHE would be one of the first targets. AND, that it would not only kill millions (both in the middle-east but here as well) but would bankrupt us as a country..
This woman is SO stupid, it’s hard to imagine even being around her for more than 5 minutes – ever.
February 7th, 2010 at 12:38 pmComedy Central 2 a.k.a. Fox “news” is going to rebroadcast Chris Wallace’s interview with The Quitter at 2pm EST.

…they, of course, don’t see the irony of it all…
…people with low reasoning power seldom do.
February 7th, 2010 at 12:42 pmPalin also confirmed that she would consider running for President in 2012 and that it would be “absurd” not to.
Not-too-bright types in my party. First she offers her suggestion to the president for how he can win reelection and follows that with a consideration to run herself.
Heeeeh?
February 7th, 2010 at 12:44 pmOh my GOD this soulless moron Bimbostien thinks starting a war is just another option for furthering your political career. This woman is a plague rat
February 7th, 2010 at 12:44 pmI truly don’t see and I am damn GOOD at understanding other’s pov, how sooooo many repubs believe she is fit for the office of the President?
February 7th, 2010 at 12:50 pmSarah will soon find out what war is all about when she decides to run in 2012 for the presidency: THE REPUBLICANS IN THE PRIMARY WILL RIP HER CARCASS APART!
February 7th, 2010 at 12:50 pmShe was advising teabaggers last night not t worry about media:”Who cares’ Sarah told them.
February 7th, 2010 at 12:50 pmBut while she always attacks the media,it is the media that made her what she is,and she knows it.
While she pretends she hates media by which she has been victimized,she is always trying to get her story to the media.
Not only that, she signed with Fox to be part of that media that that she is continuously criticizes and told teabaggers not to give attention to.
She is a product of McCain’s misjudgement in 2008.
Someone should ask fiscal how we would pay for more wars when when trillions are being spent on the ongoing ones we have now.

Really? They could, but I thought they might all play nice to become her running mate. Think of the Palin/Guliani ticket, or Paln/Jindal or even Palin/Beck.
Honestly I think the GOP Primaries are going to be all about slamming Obama, and directing all negativity toward the Democrats.

February 7th, 2010 at 1:12 pmLast night someone reminded that the “Palin as President” site is still up and running…just point and click around the office…hilarious!
http://www.palinaspresident.us/
p.s…turn on your sound and be sure to do multiple clicks on the door to the left…and don’t forget the compartment door on the right of the desk; click twice so you can be “Palinized!”
February 7th, 2010 at 1:13 pmSlappy, are you saying that Palin indirectly got teabagged by a moose?
February 7th, 2010 at 1:14 pmSlappy, you’re not on the clock. Go home.
February 7th, 2010 at 1:14 pm103. Good question, I guess we will never know what happened just before the “picken”.
February 7th, 2010 at 1:16 pmYou know what is truly amazing…or not…is the fact that Palin and the rest of the Tea Baggers can talk for hours and not say a goddamned thing of substance. I actually watched the so-called convention on c-span yesterday while exercising and was astounded as I watched speaker after speaker rail and spew in vague generalities not once did anyone actually propose any concrete proposal for a solution to any of their paranoid rants. Not one that I could hear. It’s amazing. It was like listening to the rants of a bunch of pissed off barely literate adolescents who hate everything and everyone. That’s what these folks are….adolescents spewing shit. But these people have money and drive and they vote and they are Republicans no matter what they say. I visited a lot of websites and they are all rightwingers with an attitude, a vote and no solutions..and they hate Obama and Democrats. They are a dangerous group. I wouldn’t underestimate them. And the more names they are called the more they dig in their heels…just like my 5 year old. What a bunch.
February 7th, 2010 at 1:25 pmAhhh yes…the ploy for the Baggers to seem “mainstream”:
http://www.thepoliticalcarnival.net/2010/02/reinventing-thetea-partiers-no-more.html
I think the key verbiage is this:
“But at the inaugural National Tea Party Convention here this weekend, gone were the placards that protesters carried last year with Mr. Obama’s face wearing a Hitler mustache or superimposed on the Joker. Gone, really, were any placards, unless you count the poster of Sarah Palin in her signature red jacket that hung from one of the wrought-iron balconies of the Opryland Hotel and Convention Center.”
“Organizers said that anyone “looking too crazy” would have been tossed out. They had a goal that turned out to be shared by pretty much everyone here: to turn the Tea Party into a serious political force, rather than the angry fringe group they say it had been branded as.”
February 7th, 2010 at 1:26 pmThere is nothing more dangerous than a leader who takes his country to war so he can keep his seat or get re-elected.
February 7th, 2010 at 1:35 pmThis is the lowest of the low.
People like these should be prosecuted for their criminal acts playing with lives and money of their own citizens who put them in office to begin with.
Seriously bad advice. Palin doesnt want Obama to win a re-election. If he did start another war he wouldnt get re-elected.
February 7th, 2010 at 1:36 pmThe corporate media running America agrees that war is the best headlines device they have ever seen. Palin has her orders and she’s marching to them.
February 7th, 2010 at 1:45 pm…which, of course, is what Sarah would do if she was President. Y’know, bring about those tribulations the end-timers are so anxious to bring on all of us who aren’t rapture-ready.
February 7th, 2010 at 1:55 pmYeah sister sarah, cause that strategy obviously worked so well in Iraq.
February 7th, 2010 at 1:55 pmYa know, the country that you kept mixing up with Iran.
Why did I ever vote for you and Daddy McInsane in the first place?
Sarah, hon, you probably shouldn’t be offering President Obama any advice on foreign policy. After all, you didn’t know where to find Iraq on a map and you didn’t know that there is a North Korea and a South Korea and about a little something called the 58th parallel that divides both Koreas.
February 7th, 2010 at 1:58 pmYou are so full of shit Slappy. Who would put mountain oysters in white wine to marinate? And Creme Brule is not a sauce.
But I appreciate your associating Bible Spice’s hard on for killing with her fetish to kill all people brown.
February 7th, 2010 at 2:02 pmshe’s just a cute lil’ol sockpuppet for the same old neocon cabal.
girl knows how to tell where to get her bread buttered.
what would war with iran do to the national debt?
it’s the most important thing right now, according to sarahp’s would-be base.
why would they applaud anything that would add untold hundreds of billions to it?
February 7th, 2010 at 2:03 pm1999 Doomsday Christian cult members planning “violent and extreme acts” to jump-start the return of Jesus and the fulfilment of Biblical prophecy at the close of the millennium were last night under arrest in Israel after raids on several houses.
Police detained eight adults and six children belonging to an American apocalyptic cult calling itself Concerned Christians in the quiet and prosperous dormitory towns of Mevasseret Zion and Moza, six miles west of Jerusalem.
The group, based in Denver, Colorado, was planning to provoke a bloody shoot-out by opening fire on Israeli police, believing that this catastrophic act would hasten the Second Coming of Christ, according to police.
Huh.
February 7th, 2010 at 2:13 pmAs the old saying goes”Diarrhea of the mouth; constipation of the ideas” describes our girl Moose maimer Makes me want to vote for her knowing her answer to everything is start a war
February 7th, 2010 at 2:19 pmHow easy it is to talk about war when you don’t suffer the consequences.
I wonder if Palin will change her tune if her son gets killed in combat? Somehow, I doubt it. She’d be more likely to try to capitalize on it for political gain.
But, according to Palin, if Obama goes to war against Iran and causes the deaths of untold thousands of innocent Iranians, he would gain politically.
Is that the price we must pay to elect someone? Elect the person who can kill the most?
February 7th, 2010 at 2:30 pm#116:
yeah, all the folks trying to hurry things along on the “end times battles” can manipulate God into doing their will.
February 7th, 2010 at 2:30 pmyeah, all the folks trying to hurry things along on the “end times battles” can manipulate God into doing their will..
And when it fails they will say the Satan fooled them and start all over again. Sheesh.
February 7th, 2010 at 2:39 pmBriseadh, did you notice that Sarah joked about doubting whether her now-serving son had ever turned on C-Span in his life? Apparently he, too, doesn’t have any interest in or knowledge of the actual execution of the Constitution that both he and his mom swore an oath to protect and defend.
February 7th, 2010 at 2:41 pmWhat is it.. stupid Palin day? Again?
February 7th, 2010 at 2:41 pmPalin, The Profit Puppet Of The Neo-Cons, and Chris Wallace wants her to be the puppet in his lap when doing interviews.
February 7th, 2010 at 2:49 pmI can say Chris has touched, or wanted to touch on the real value of Mrs. Palin, her looks.
.
AGAIN, I SAY…
… The Morality of America seems to hinge upon what She can get away with.
.
February 7th, 2010 at 3:22 pmThere is an upside to Palin’s statements. Iran is paying attention to what she says and evaluating the possibility that Obama could be replaced by a more right wing regime. That would probably result in a confrontation with Iran. This gives Iranian leaders pause to think about taking care of the nuclear issue sooner rather than later.
February 7th, 2010 at 3:24 pm.
I didn’t watch too much of the Palin/Wallace dance…
… Did she lap dance him like he dreamed of on Imus’s show?

February 7th, 2010 at 3:24 pmSarah Palin attended 5 different colleges in 6 1/2 years before she received her B/S. in Journalism. Over 62% of her higher education was on internet classes, and she had a c average. HAHAHAHA what a quitter and a loser.
Also what wh staff is keeping mooseyak briefed on foreign affairs? What right doesn’t she have to get first hand info?
All she is going to do is spin the truth into some freaky repug talking point.
She doesn’t have enough room on both palms and forearms to crib her response on foreign policy.
February 7th, 2010 at 3:26 pmPalin: Obama could win reelection if he ‘played the war card’ and declared ‘war on Iran.’
Doesn’t she really mean:
Obama would lose support or 90% of the public if he started a third war. They would come to me as I preach fiscal responsibility…. I would be the next president!
Have the corporate powers chosen this witch as they could easily have their way with her?
February 7th, 2010 at 4:11 pmInteresting that Palin believes that a declaration of war — which only the Congress can invoke — is a legitimate presidential act to garner public support in an election year.
February 7th, 2010 at 4:15 pmA true Machiavellian that would make Cheney proud.
Republicans spent eight years digging this country into the deepest economic hole since the Great Depression. Finally kicked out of office, they have spent Obama’s entire first year doing nothing but pointing to their hole and saying, “Look at that hole! It’s all Obama’s fault!”
Now their brilliant leader, hand reader Sarah tells us that Obama needs to bomb-bomb Iran to win in 2012. Should he take the advice of this rather shallow, rather stupid person?
February 7th, 2010 at 4:18 pm129 labman57 ,
Think of all the defense revenue Palin is capable of stirring up with her attack Iran attitude. It is no wonder the corporate powers love this woman, set her up with a party and convention and blasted it all over the corporate MSM.
We, in the thousands, protested in the streets over the invasion/massacre of Iraq and the corporate media barely covered it.
February 7th, 2010 at 4:31 pmDuring her interview with Wallace, Palin also confirmed that she would consider running for President in 2012 and that it would be “absurd” not to.
Please run, Sister Sarah. Srsly, please do!
February 7th, 2010 at 4:38 pmHer advise is so distorted. President Obama won on the platform that he opposed the Iraq war. By her logic if any republican running in 2012 says he is willing to bomb Iran will be elected.
February 7th, 2010 at 4:48 pmPalin:
February 7th, 2010 at 5:16 pm” Either decide to go to war with Iran, or decide to do whatever he could to support Israel”.
In both cases anyway he will be supporting Israel.
So, Sarah is linking re-election to support of Israel…
She must have passed the NeoCons course test, ‘learn always to support Israel to stay in power’.
What is so cute about a woman who’s determine to destroy or at the very least, keep the repugs’ mob-agenda going? She looks like a typical hillbilly and acts like one too. That hillbonics of hers is the worse. Public pics of “her” baby without shoes, pants, socks or a hat on during inclement weather while she sports all the gear needed, matching no less.
Her voice is like fingernail on a chalkboard, her lame teatard ignorance is like talking to a table and her stupidness is beyond belief.
Two things teatards.
One, there are more, way more inds/dems than inds/repugs. So don’t think you have the ind thing wrapped up or it yours, liars.
Two, mooseyak is dysfunctional so is her family. You know it too. Don’t compare President Obama (OUR FIRST AFRICAN-AMERICAN, BLACK President of the United States of America) to your lowest loon in your shit parade. The “smartest” repug can’t handle President Obama and the truth. IT WAS PROVEN ON 01/29/10.
As much as you want to cut-run on the facts and wars and the economy and middle-America and the sick and dying you will NEVER escape the truth.
February 7th, 2010 at 5:18 pmImichael says: @133
I agree. The public is weary of two wars even though we are pulling out of Iraq. Any Republican or politician who openly advocates a war with another country will frighten most voters. Palin and the Republicans are going to use the Dems/Obama are soft on terrorists theme. Her statements will scare away a lot of voters if she decides to run. In fact, if she endorses any candidate, it could be the kiss of death.
February 7th, 2010 at 5:34 pmThose of us in the progressive movement who actually believe she could not secure the nomination are kidding themselves.
Do you really believe this lunatic couldn’t (and wouldn’t) excite that “base” of rabid, racist fear-mongers who ask “Where is my America?” because a black man is president? Will she bring them out in droves to the primary polls? She would and likely will. We should support that.
Winning a Republican (or Tea Party) nomination and the general election are two VERY different things. When the entirety of your support comes from angry white trailer park residents that watch FauxNews, that gets you what…twenty to twenty five percent? No latino, black, or intelligent white voter will ever back this nutjob and President Obama would be re-elected in a landslide of historic proportions.
Outside of Alabama, what state will she carry? We should all not only hope and pray that she runs, we should support her and her teabagging aspirations every step of the way.
February 7th, 2010 at 5:54 pmQuite simply, anybody who views starting a war as merely “playing a card” in some political game has no business being President.
February 7th, 2010 at 6:45 pmLook at the Buchanan website and see whose book is advertised FOR FREE with a subscription!!! She mentioned the column just so people would go there and get her book!! Bwaaa haaaa haaaa What a whore!!!

I live in rural Georgia and what I though was sad and fringe behavior from the republican-baptist people down here, has become mainstream America. The loss of 3 elections, Obama letting insane accusations (many from my own state’s congressman)go unanswered, the lack of guts from Democratic leadership, coupled with Palin bringing the tea-baggers into the GOP fold(it will happen)and the insanity of the Christian groups probably spells the end of the dollar.
BTW, I am a 16yr Vet, who is constantly amazed by the fear/war mongering that I witness everyday. It is sick, when I am told that I don’t love my country, by some fat, uneducated, too scared to sign up for military service/war lover, piece of shit, simply because I won’t agree that Obama is the Anti-Christ
And I thought it was bad to just come from a conservative family. At least I’m not surrounded by it totally (although I wanna poke my eyes out everytime I see my mom’s McCain/Palin bumper sticker on the family minivan.
February 7th, 2010 at 7:02 pmThis comment has been voted down. Click to read.
“I got this from Buchanan…”
No sane person should take advice from Buchanan…political or otherwise. Of course Palin is obviously insane and we are screwed if she does run for President and win in 2012. Maybe the Mayans were right?
February 7th, 2010 at 8:15 pmWhat’s Sarah Barracuda going to run on… her successes? What an egomaniac.
February 7th, 2010 at 9:23 pmTalk about having a simplistic view on foreign policy
February 7th, 2010 at 9:53 pmWhat great advice, Sarah. But why offer such excellent advice and help Obama win a 2nd term? Why not make this the centerpiece of your 2012 campaign? You can’t lose with such a bold foreign policy strategy, also.

February 7th, 2010 at 11:19 pmThis is just the latest example of how far removed from reality this stupid bi.tch really is. According to the US Constitution, Obama as President cant “declare war” on anyone – even the termites in the white House closets. Only the Congress can declare war.
Heaven help the united states if the collective stupidity of its citizens elects this worthless piece of flesh to the white house in 2012.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:21 pmI know one sure way Obama can lose his reelection:
Calling himself Papa Shango and laying hands on Sarah Palin in “church”.

So when Obama is attacked for being “soft on terror,” his defense is “Hey, I’m just like Bush.”
February 8th, 2010 at 2:02 pmThe worst thing is why anyone would ask her about something she knows absolutely nothing about and getting an answer that these right wing idiots are filling her head to say.
She is just a puppet spewing right wing jingles and jargon…exactly like how she spoke during the last campaign.
February 8th, 2010 at 5:20 pmKay in Maine, I see that none of the teabagger law-and-order bunch have condemned the Willow Palin for burglarizing someone’ s private property.
There is always a different set of rules and a much lower standard for repiggies.
