Sarah Palin: The Lamestream Media Is Reporting My Tweets! Stop It!

WingnutsJune 2010 • Views: 4,803

Sarah Palin is pissed off at the media again: Twitter / Sarah Palin: Lamestream media: I never …

Lamestream media: I never compared Obama to Hitler. Quit making things up.

Oh, no, you would never compare Obama to Hitler, would you? Instead, you just link to other people comparing Obama to Hitler. That’s much better.

…This is about the rule of law vs. an unconstitutional power grab. Read Thomas Sowell’s article: http://u.nu/6e4ec

Sarah, honey, I know this might be a new concept to you, but there's no way to keep the media from reading your Twitter posts. If you don't like them doing that and displaying your lunacy for all to see, then perhaps you should...I don't know...STOP TWITTERING?!

Every time this woman opens her gob, I feel worse and worse for thinking putting her on the McCain ticket was a good idea. I've never been more wrong about something in my life.

Social media is such that everything we say can and will be held against us. If you don't want to be embarrassed by too many words, don't use too many words. It's not rocket science, but for certain public figures I think it is.

The world is obviously in need of some version of the internet where the inner rapacious partisan can go out and play and be revered by the fellow partisans, yet not be held accountable in the earnest world where such comments are considered boorish, offensive, vile and uncouth. A place where David Weigel can talk freely about "ratfucking" and Sarah Palin can talk freely about death panels and Obama's inner Nazi.

Then again - let's not and just hold them accountable for being the asshats that they are.

Hey Sarah, stop acting like a fucking twit and people will probably ignore you. Oh, but you like the attention, don't you?

Oh, and if maybe you actually READ the article you were linking, instead of just linking it because someone on your staff told you it was critical of President Obama, you wouldn't make yourself look like a raging asshole.

Not sure. I used to read a lot of content off of my blackberry and it was fast. Now I am on android and the bandwidth / browser overhead stinks. In fact, it is a big reason why I don't show up here as often - used to do it via my BB but not a realistic option on Android. FWIW.

Sarah doesn't seem to understand that concept that the Left learned the hard way during the Bush years: Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from criticism. If you don't want people taking issue with what you have to say, then don't say it. The media is going to cover a story, Sarah, and you making an idiot of yourself is (sadly) considered a story.

Politico headlines this tidbit in the most inflammatory way possible. Instead of writing that Palin has praised an article by THOMAS SOWELL, a conservative writer who is black, they write "Palin praises Hitler column!".

This is journalistic dishonesty so eggregious that the writer should be made to do 50 pushups and run 3 laps.

Politico needs to watch its standards, if it wants to retain ANY credibility.

re: #9 Targetpractice, Worst of Both Worlds

Every time this woman opens her gob, I feel worse and worse for thinking putting her on the McCain ticket was a good idea. I've never been more wrong about something in my life.

Opposite situation here. Every time she opens her mouth, I feel more and more vindicated for going after her so fiercely when McCain nominated her.

I got pilloried on a different site for going after Palin and providing example after example of just how stupid and out of her league this woman was, and just how desperate McCain was in choosing her. I had conservatives and/or Republicans telling me I was just bitter and jealous of her. Or that as a liberal woman, I was somehow threatened by Sarah Palin. LOL.

Watching Caribou Barbie these days and seeing those same people cringe over her gives me no small measure of schadenfreude. I know that's petty of me, but I can't help it.

Yes, and it is poignant indeed.

Guys like Sowell who, having spent their lives building a reputation for being the heavy-hitters intellectually among Americans who consider themselves "conservatives", in the twilight of their career find themselves sidelined by the clowns (Beck et. al.)

So now Sowell jumps on the bandwagon.

This has a parallel in older men who are scientists and engineers. After they reach old age a fraction of them go off the deep end into all sorts of fringe science, conspiracies, etc.

So true. I really wish he had picked Lieberman.

An interesting thought in all of that is that it confirms that the SoCons are not the reliable "foundation" of the GOP as they claimed. One sex scandal and they would refuse to go to the polls. Yet people like me he pointed that fact out (and how it played into decisions like McCain's) got hounded for speaking the unspeakable.

Specifically, The Sarah is a celeb, a product of mass media and the internet, the very same modern developments that She and her follows claim to disdain.

The ultra-right does this: rail against the evils of the modern media, and then use TV, radio, and the internet to sell millions of dollars in goods (everything from DVDs to t-shirts.

They never own up to the truth - their two favorite venues - Premier Radio and Fox TV networks - are part of the two largest media corporations in the world!

Ha! One of my students when I was a teacher came in with Wolverine (from the X-Men) on his shoulder. I said, "Man, when you get to college, the chicks are totally going to dig you!" The depressed look on his face when I said that actually made me feel bad about saying it. But if it kept him from getting more stupid shit on his body, it was worth it.

re: #154 darthstar

One more comment on tattoos. I could see myself getting a Grateful Dead tattoo and not regretting it. A Steal Your Face (like my avatar), Jerry's playing hand with the missing finger, or a terrapin. Beyond that, I can't think of anything. But I'm 46 now...it's a little late to be getting body art.

The tattoos I do think are appropriate are the ones I've seen on women who've had mastectomies. Vines following the scar line to represent new growth. I find those admirable.

Don't get me wrong Darthstar.......... "Eyes of the World" is one of my all time fave songs.

One of my friends (and a college friend of my wife's) got "every day is a gift" tattooed in reverse along his chest so he can read it when he brushes his teeth in the morning (this right after his father survived a heart attack)...he then went on to get some Hebrew script (can't remember what it means) under his bicep and then a bird from Guatemala to represent the son he adopted. Now he's getting some birds going all the way up his back. I suspect his ink adventure is just beginning, but he's enjoying it, and he's doing pretty well with his business (just bought a new home for over 2mil) so I guess if it makes him happy...

You don't have to get something so big. Maybe something on the shoulder blade. Anywhere you can hide it if you want.

It's really not as painful as you would think, although anything closer to the bone will hurt more, but it's tolerable.

I got one of those circa 1977... stitched up knee scar... knee bones held together by a screw.

Note to self... Morgan David (Mad Dog 20/20) and dirt bikes don't mix.

But Mad Dog 20/20, grape soda, and 19 year old girls from Montana definitely DO mix. (I learned that when I was 24 and working for a beekeeper up there)

EXCLUSIVE: AWOL Afghans Found ... on Facebook

And lookie here:

One week later, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement source told FoxNews.com that only two or three of the 17 Afghans remain at large. The source said investigators have been working with Canadian immigration records and now believe that many of the men are in Canada.

David Smith, spokesman for Randolph Air Force Base in Texas, told FoxNews.com he was told that four of the men remain unaccounted for. Of the 13 who have been located, he said, six have pending refugee claims in Canada, two have permanent residency in Canada, four are in the process of being deported and one is a conditional resident alien in the U.S.

That leaves 4 unaccounted who are probably out having a good time this Friday night.

I said, "What if he turns out to be an asshole?" He did. They were together for about three months. The tattoo, I suppose, is still there 12 years later.

Yeah, I can understand why he'd be afraid of the pain. After my surgery, which was lower down on my trunk, everything hurt for a week. It was very similar to a cesarian incision, which made me wonder why in the world women who didn't need those would opt to have one. I know that natural birth isn't peaches and cream, but I couldn't imagine coming home with a giant wound, immense pain and a newborn.

Not just tattoos. In my granddaddy's day he threw a big fancy party for the jewelry honcos of the day. Some lady is working the room with this big chinese jade piece with a gold Chinese character symbol in the middle.

She starts chatting with this guy who is expert in ancient jewelry items. She asks him what it says. He turns red and tries to deflect the inquiry to no avail. Finally he mutters that the item is a prostitutes license from some dynasty.

Now, that's awesome. I would totally wear one of those.

True dat. You can push a big block to 700 HP if you really want to do wheelies in the old Chevelle.

I am the oldest of 6 boys. Back in the mid '70s, brother #3 added a good 200hp to his Camaro's stock 300hp 350, and I swapped the 350 for a 283 that I added a good 200hp to, and made sure it could wind up to 7000rpm. Not to be outdone, brother #2 went out and bought a tricked out '66 Chevelle with a 396. He had no problem lifting the front end. I on the other hand, had not bothered to put in a locker or limited slip rear end, so when I arrogantly 'invited' him to race me, I sat there smoking one tire while he drove off into the sunset.

Is this thread going in the direction of "the greatest pains we have ever endured"? Because, we know how this ends -- someone mentions their 14 hours of labor without drugs. The End.

I was around for a friend's labor. She did thirty-six hours, not only without pain-killers, but WITH pitocin.

My worst so far though was the kidney infection. The best part of the kidney infection...well, there was the part where I iced it, thinking it was a pulled muscle, on the advice of my therapist--she was a mental health care practitioner, not a physical therapist, but whatever...

Then there was the part where I sat in the ER for what seemed like a very long time, watching people with various ailments come in through the door and realizing that they were going to be triaged in ahead of me.

When the little old man streaming blood from his scalp walked in, I just sort of curled up and gave in.

People don't realize how much they actively USE the center of their body until they injure it. I had abdominal surgery and for about a week, standing straight, walking, sleeping, breathing, coughing and...uh... other things were excruciatingly painful.

It may not be the most painful, but I maintain the worst sporting-type injury to get is to tear a gluteal. I've broken tons of stuff and bent my knee totally backwards the wrong way, all of which were terrible, but tearing a glute was the worst. It wasn't so bad at the time - I finished out the day and hobbled home and sat on ice like an old man with hemorrhoids.

But the next morning - holy crap. I couldn't bend from the waist. At all. I couldn't get out of bed. All I could do was roll flat out of bed, fall on the floor, and drag myself around on my face. And on top of that, you never, ever, get any sympathy. Oh no. All you get is your girlfriend calling work and saying, 'I'm sorry, he won't be in today, he's torn his arse.'

re: #383 brookly red

well the only ones reporting on it of course are Fox so you would not accept it as credible . But tell me I really want to know, you live in Cali. and don't see any problems? Wow...

I don't think I've ever said I won't accept Fox as a source, although I would probably want to see more than a single source on something quite that significant.

I do live in California, and I see plenty of problems, some of them even connected to illegal immigration. I have no idea why you would imagine otherwise.

I do NOT see any problems involving Hamas agents coming over the border. Everyone I know who is or has been in the states illegally is Mexican, Irish or Chinese, and here for family or economic reasons.

Now, if my state is about to be overrun with Iranian fanatics, as opposed to Iranian real estate agents, I would like to know. So, link?

I was around for a friend's labor. She did thirty-six hours, not only without pain-killers, but WITH pitocin.

My worst so far though was the kidney infection. The best part of the kidney infection...well, there was the part where I iced it, thinking it was a pulled muscle, on the advice of my therapist--she was a mental health care practitioner, not a physical therapist, but whatever...

Then there was the part where I sat in the ER for what seemed like a very long time, watching people with various ailments come in through the door and realizing that they were going to be triaged in ahead of me.

When the little old man streaming blood from his scalp walked in, I just sort of curled up and gave in.

Ouch, SanFranZ. I've never had kidney pain, but I hear it's one of the worst. The waiting time must have been hell. My frame of reference for excruciating, enduring pain is... toothache.

They've done psych studies on this. No matter how outrageous and false the accusation, there will always be a percentage of people who only remember the accusation. That's why it works.

The right wing is gearing up for a major meltdown over the Kagan nomination hearings, by the way. You're going to see so much lunacy, you'll be telling stories to your grandchildren about it.

I've been getting a barrage of emails from all the right wing mailing lists I've been signed up for without my consent. They're planning to make this a major issue.

Deep Throat: In my day, it was simply called the double cross. I believe the CIA refers to it as Mindfuck. In our context, it simply means infiltration of the Democrats.
Woodward: I know what it means--Segretti wouldn't go on the record, but if he would, we know he'd implicate Chapin. And that would put us inside the White House.

From what I've read so far, I'd say more so than any of the last four with argument room for Roberts. Your mileage may vary, obviously, but the NYTimes has been running a very good series based on her writings, especially during the Clinton administration. Start there then find a good conservative source to balance it (I used to use the WSJ & Chicago Tribune, but the WSJ isn't as good as it was pre-Murdoch, I feel.)

"Con" doesn't work because of other definitions (that's why I use "Repub" instead of "Rep"). "Prog" carries no emotional load for me. In the '60s, Castro called the Alpha66 raiders "gusanos", worms. They co-opted the name proudly.

Like I said I am tired of the Hitler comparisons on both sides. George Soros and other members of the looney left as well as pseudo conservative Andrew Sullivan called Bush Hitler-like throughout the Bush presidency.

Later in the Bush presidency I found myself somewhat buying into what they were saying with the overreach of the Patriot Act and other things. Now when a respected person like Thomas Sowell starts making the comparison.....maybe there is a little truth to the comparison... as it was with Bush.

re: #530 Charles

Anyone think it's a little weird that one of the wingnut blogosphere's biggest stars is hiding behind a name that insults Muslims?

yeah. That's the state of the rightwing blogosphere in my opinion. Haters, psychos, and bigots. I find it pretty weird that michelle malkin, Our Lady of the Internment Camps, is admitted into polite society let alone news shows.

We're supposed to lend his words credence, but he doesn't even have the courage to reveal his real name.

This is a difficult issue. I applaud people who blog under their real names, but pseudoanonymity is slightly different than anonymity. Under a pseudonym there is at least some accountability-- if you're a blogger, not a commenter.

I think there are some good reasons for maintaining pseudonym status, especially for women. Digby at Hullabaloo for instance-- I knew she was female long before she 'came out' with her name.
And I know exactly why she didn't say even under her pseudonym that she was female for years-- because of the way she'd be treated and the way her opinions would be received. The political blogosphere is overwhelmingly male (with the exception of feminist blogs) and yes, women are treated differently. LGF isn't like that, and it's one the reasons I joined and participate here more than anywhere else.

that being said, of course opinions with a person's real name attached are granted more credibility, and I admire, respect, and applaud all those who do it under their real name.

Even so, it will be a while before I personally would feel able to use mine (again. Done it before.)

just my long two cents.

Like I said I am tired of the Hitler comparisons on both sides. George Soros and other members of the looney left as well as pseudo conservative Andrew Sullivan called Bush Hitler-like throughout the Bush presidency.

Later in the Bush presidency I found myself somewhat buying into what they were saying with the overreach of the Patriot Act and other things. Now when a respected person like Thomas Sowell starts making the comparison...maybe there is a little truth to the comparison... as it was with Bush.

There's no truth to it either way. Neither George W. Bush nor Barack Obama have a malicious bone in their body. Neither of them could be like Hitler if they tried.

So you infer that I had never heard that term? And that I assume he invented it?

How?

Where did I write that? How did i imply it?

The set of emails that we released that I was commenting on has him using the term indiscriminately. Just about anyone conservative is a "ratfucker" - it is not simply used to describe dirty tricks.

It is like someone using "fuck" in every part of speech to the point that it is meaningless and paints the speaker as a dullard.

I also wouldn't put Beck at #1. George Bush, maybe. I didn't see Condi in there either. In fact, I would reorder most of the first 50.

Even so I'd never compare the Patriot Act to the Nuremburg laws or Nazi Germany, or Bush to Hitler. That's just outright bullshit and a fucking insult to those who suffered, persecuted, and were murdered by Hitler.

I spent ten years of my life translating Nazi documents into English.

I had to make up new English words because the Nazis made up new German words to describe (in the best German bureaucratic tradition) what they were doing.

To people.

For the record.

Because they thought they were working for the record of the beginning of a Thousand Year Empire.

So, if any little upjumped history expert here on this blog wants to know about the Nazis, apply to me.

Even so I'd never compare the Patriot Act to the Nuremburg laws or Nazi Germany, or Bush to Hitler. That's just outright bullshit and a fucking insult to those who suffered, persecuted, and were murdered by Hitler.

Yes, I think both Bush and Obama trampled (trample) civil liberties-- but my god, get a grip. Outrageous to even compare the US to Nazi germany-- whether the left or the right does it, screw that. bollocks.

I agree and I did a poor job comparing both the fring on the left and right.

There is a wider point here. Palin has discredited herself six ways to Sunday. There is no need to fish for thin and strained arguments to discredit her further. These in fact serve only to muddy the waters.

"[D]uring the worldwide Great Depression, the German Reichstag passed a law "for the relief of the German people." That law gave Hitler dictatorial powers that were used for things going far beyond the relief of the German people -- indeed, powers that ultimately brought a rain of destruction down on the German people and on others. If the agreement with BP was an isolated event, perhaps we might hope that it would not be a precedent. But there is nothing isolated about it," - Thomas Sowell,

Shit, meant to paste this. Men Who Hate Women on the Web.

Sierra is different because after a while 4chan and random haters (i believe) were swarming her, but sexual threats and death threats are frighteningly common if you're a female blogger.

I might do a personal page on this sometime and my own pre-LGF experiences of it.

I was reading through those articles. I really had no idea. I don't have time to follow many blogs so I just pick this one. heh The one female blogger I followed closely was Mudflats. I don't think she got those sexual connotations, but she was outed (named) by those who hated her.

For what it's worth, I think you can compare LGF to some of that most vile stuff. Maybe not in that terminology, but his haters have become bizarrely sexual and just as scary.

Most of them are not nineteen years old and raised on Sir Walter Scott, and therefore have even less excuse.

No, they're raised on Star Wars & Transformers, the bad guys can't shoot straight and they're 35 and still living in Mom & Dad's house... At least Scott had some connection to reality, however slight.

Steele is too busy spending all of the GOP money on his private jet and at strip clubs. I still get calls from the GOP. They won't get a penny from me.

Beck is losing his momentum. He may have influence now but Beck will have a short career on TV. What would he do if a Republican won in 2012? I wouldn't be surprised to see him turn into a looney left wing kook.... just to try to sustain his TV show.... kind of like Arianna Huffington.

And that I'll upding. You actually hit into a point I've been thinking about for a long time; Glenn Beck does not really want the GOP to win, IMO. Imagine that in 2012 a Republican has been elected president and the GOP controls both chambers of Congress. Do you think Glenn Beck could make the needed change over to supporting the president and his or her agenda? I don't. I think he'd be lost having to play second fiddle like that.

Sarah Palin is a side show. With Steele in charge of the Republican party he will find a way to throw away a golden opportunity to win back the congress in November.

You really don't understand the dynamic, do you? Your veiled racist dig at Steele is idiotic. Steele is no more in charge of the R's than the R leadership. The ship is being steered by the whacks. It's sad, really. I love a loyal opposition, but only if they are sane. Embracing Rand Paul is anything but. The R's should be supporting the Dem in that race, just to show they have a glimmer of integrity.

But no. They aren't. They are supporting the useful idiot.

Gitmo?

WTF is wrong with you? Are you a moonbat?

Do some reading:

Dachau concentration camp

Estimates of the demographic statistics vary but they are in the same general range. History may never know how many people were interned there or died there, due to periods of disruption. One source gives a general estimate of over 200,000 prisoners from more than 30 countries for the Third Reich's years, of whom two-thirds were political prisoners and nearly one-third were Jews. 25,613 prisoners are believed to have died in the camp and almost another 10,000 in its subcamps,[6] primarily from disease, malnutrition and suicide

Compare that with Gitmo. I dare you to find a comparison to that of Dachau.

So you log in to say that Bush and Obama really are kina-sorta-maybe like Hitler, but when given some totally softball questions, you first amount a weak defense comparing Dachau to Gitmo... and now you say it was one big misunderstanding? Is that about right?

Plus the Rush and Olberman comments, which are so blatantly stupid I won't address them.

Dude, you just need to get your basic beliefs out there. There are Libs, Progs, R's, D's, Cons, NeoCons, Neo Libs, Atheists, Deists, Christians, Jews, and I suppose, maybe, Satnists on this board. State your case or get lost.

re: #801 McSpiff

I don't find racism particularly entertaining. Jeeze, enjoying racism, not really seeing anything so bad about Dachua (Its the 1940's Gitmo!). Im starting to see a real pattern here. You must be a blast at parties.

I don't think anything I have said should be considered "racist". I liked was I saw in Steele back when he was on Fox News as a regular guest. Unfortunately he has accomplished little in his time as the GOP leader. I have no faith that the Republican party can succeed with Steele.

But failte hospitality,
Inducing new acquaintance.

Yes, I read it. So did you. But you didn't take the point from it. It is not that Obama is Hitler, but that any too-great grant of power to the government, unhindered and unrestrained by law, is unwise.

And can go all sorts of bad places.

Yes I think it is ridiculous to compare Bush, Obama, or the next President that will surely get falsely accused of going down that path....

Then don't post shit that raises hackles. There is a large Jewish contingent on this board. If you are completely ignorant of of the Death Camps like Dachau, you need to shut your face.

Look:

At the American Military Tribunal held at the Dachau camp in November 1945, the prosecution stated that 161, 939 prisoners had been processed through Dachau between 1940 and 1945 and that over 25,000 of them had died. According to the figures in Paul Berben's book, the exact number of prisoners who died at Dachau during this period was 27,839.

Yes. I'd really like our troll to tell us more about Gitmo and pretend it's like Dachau.

Hey troll, here's a clue: before you do, you'd better make sure you're conversant not just with Gitmo but all the other sites. Get your documents ready. The ones from the CIA and the DoD. The ones I'll use to refute your fake civil-liberties troll ass.

No, I won't name the other sites and other issues because I don't want to help you on your upcoming google fest.

Get ready. Cato will inflict massive damage on you when you mention Dachau or Nazi Germany. *I* will bat cleanup on everything you have to say about Gitmo and US abuses. The other lizards will completely destroy you.

I won't destroy him, ice. I'll just rip him a new one. I've got no respect for "Gitmo as a concentration camp". As you entirely understand, it is clearly not that.

Nor were the Soviet prison camps for former Nazi guards installed on some of the liberated sites, weren´t they?

You don´t need an association of the past to understand that this is a toxic asset. It is enough to see that is the prototype which spawned current institutional aberrations such as Menik Farm.
