Sarah Palin: I Was 'Banned' From Talking About Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers During 2008 Campaign

Sarah Palin: I Was ‘Banned’ From Talking About Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers During 2008 Campaign

The bitterest woman in the world keeps droning on.

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) said she was “banned” from certain talking points while running alongside Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) on the Republican ticket in the 2008 election.

Palin criticized the media for “ingratiating themselves with [Obama] and vice versa” and trying to “destroy these whistleblowers” who were talking about controversial pastor Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers, former University of Illinois professor and co-founder of the violent anti-war group Weather Underground.

“Though I was during the campaign running for VP, I was banned from talking about Jeremiah Wright and Obama’s friend, Bill Ayers, the character that he befriended and kicked off his political campaign in the guy’s living room,” Palin said.

Palin blamed “those elitists, those who are the brainiacs in the GOP machine running John McCain’s campaign at the time” for saying “the media would eat us alive” if the vice presidential candidate touched on those issues.

“What it got us was a list of these scandals,” Palin said about the “self-censoring” done by the McCain campaign. “This is kind of a redneck version of one of those elitist tactics of Karl Rove, how he uses his white board. This a redneck version of a whiteboard. And on this list, the scandals that are destroying America.”

Correct me if I am wrong here but didn’t she talk about Wright and Ayers? She’s undeniably bitter. She should honestly be grateful that McCain’s campaign was stupid enough to put her on the national scene anyhow because otherwise her introduction to the American people would have been more like Rick Perry this past year.

I don’t recall, but did Obama ever mention her hubby’s membership in the secessionist Alaska Independence Party?

elizajane Sat, Jul 27, 2013 10:36:19am

Does anybody understand what this woman is actually saying in that last paragraph?

All I get from the whole story is something like “the few remaining sane people in the Republican party attempted, unsuccessfully, to prevent my idiocy from completely destroying John McCain’s candidacy. But happily, Fox has given me a platform from which to rectify that as I work to undermine any residual credibility that the Republican party still possesses.”

I don’t remember anyone directly with the Obama campaign mentioning that. I’m sure some surrogates i.e. members of Congress or the Senate did but I don’t recall Obama, Biden, or anyone directly affiliated mentioning it.

What she doesn’t get is she’s an elitist too. She clearly looks down on people who reside in cities which is where most Americans actually live.

It figures she would disparage McCain’s political advisers by calling them ‘brainiacs.’ Her political instincts are right out of 1952.

GeneJockey Sat, Jul 27, 2013 10:49:05am

She’s the perfect candidate for those who don’t want a President to be smarter or more articulate than they are.

Besides, the Right embraces convicted felons like G. Gordon Liddy and Oliver North, both of whom did way more damage to the country and the Constitution than Bill Ayers.

What Palin and her ilk cannot comprehend, or if they can, can’t abide, is the fact that the majority of American voters heard all this stuff back in 2008, then from 2009-2012, and they STILL elected him twice.

In the video of this interview, Palin holds up her own hand-scrawled talking points on what does look like a redneck white board, about 4 minutes in.

For me, the contrast from the get-go was too much. Here you had a campaign on one side that was actually laying out a vision for America …and on the other side, you have someone who has resorted to a lot of nasty name-calling, where now the VP pick is a relatively unknown woman (in what came across to me as pandering to try and pick up the female vote) who proceeds to be even more snide and negative (the whole “community organizer” line).

I will also freely admit that the Republican party has always had a pretty serious uphill battle to get me to even consider voting their direction, because of things like their anti-gay rights and anti-choice positions. And this is just running off my memory.

But Palin has only confirmed my image of her, and I continue to be furious that with all the qualified women out there, she’s who the Republicans chose and promoted.

Yeah. Anyone think that if she hadn’t been McCain’s running mate and thus later quit on her state that she could have given Romney a fight in the primaries last year? After all Santorum managed to and Palin’s initial reception with the Republican base was much more positive than Santorum’s. I sometimes wish she’d just shut up and run for office. All the second guessing she does on both parties. but she knows there’s money on being a shrill at FNC then public service. I also think if she got elected to the Senate, she’d automatically become its worst member, worse than Cruz and Paul even.

re: #26 klys

Well, you have to remember, at the time this all started coming around, I was still just working my way away from my extremely conservative right-wing religious upbringing. For a while, when she wasn’t saying much, the right-wing pundits made her look like a smart choice. Then she opened her big fat mouth and I started seeing how borderline retarded she was. John McCain never impressed me to begin with, although at the time I still believed the worst about Obama. But then when he turned out not to be a communist and the Republicans went into full-on meltdown mode, I realized where I stood and where I’d rather be, and had a not-so-public break with the right wing, much as Charles did publicly. And now here we are.

I remember a Tina Fey/Amy Poehler sketch on SNL in ‘08, where Fey as Palin said, “And John McCain’s choosing me proves that any woman can be nominated to become Vice President.”

To which Poehler as Hillary Clinton responds, “Yeah any woman. ANY woman. JUST ANY woman!”

Yes, this and the most hilarious thing was their surrogates trying to claim that because she was a governor not only was she more experienced than Obama but she was more experienced than Obama, Biden, and McCain campaigned. She had served a grand total two years as Alaska’s governor, a state with less people residing there than the county I grew up in. And yeah I really hated the stupid community organizer line. I still do. It’s a cheap attack at people like the young Obama who tried to make their communities a better place. It really turned me off as well as the calling Obama a socialist because of his views on taxation. And it was worse especially because McCain knew the Bush tax cuts went too far in many regards but he decided to sell out his principles and sound like a Norquist anti taxer hack.

Her non-response to a racist clearly yelling, “Kill him!” (referring to Obama) at a McCain/Palin rally, told me all I needed to know about her and her real politics. Youtube Video

GeneJockey Sat, Jul 27, 2013 11:07:51am

When I listened to them, I used to hear folks on the Right talking about how the Left are terrified of her, because she’d win easily. I’d say that pretty much any sentient being is terrified of her, not because she’d win easily, though it might have been possible if the time between her introduction to the national public and the election had been short enough, but rather because of what she would be like in office.

I mean, suppose that the financial collapse had happened just a few months later, so that McCain’s clueless response wasn’t in the public’s mind; then suppose Edwards hadn’t flamed out so spectacularly, but rather was still in good enough standing to be picked for the VP nomination, THEN the Rielle Hunter revelations come out in late October.

That might have been enough to win it for McCain, and Palin would have been VP. Then the financial crisis hits, and poor old McCain can’t take the strain and strokes out or has a coronary. Caribou Barbie, the Snowbilly Grifter, would have been President.

I tell you, that possibility ought to be enough to discredit John McCain and his campaign staff permanently. They should never again be allowed near anything dangerous, like power tools or heavy machinery, or the Government.

Wow…way to work a current topic word into your diatribe sister Sarah.

Whistleblower!

Puts her right up there with that great new American hero Edward Snowden. It feeds those that need to see her still fighting the good cause.

And, she actually said she wanted to point out Obama’s lack of education?

What? She does not even have the ability to understand she’d lose the battle of wits on civics, politics and law, current events and probably everything else.

Most politicians are smart enough to play to their strengths. I guess when you have no strengths you just have to play.

Honestly, I am still disgusted over her and her supporters using her Downs Syndrome son to claim that people on the left hate children with disabilities. That one really angered me having Asperger’s Syndrome myself as well as having had a great aunt with Downs. Her whole family outside Trigg and the oldest son just seem like nasty people. Whether it’s her oldest daughter deriding the President for being pro-gay marriage and getting pissy because POTUS said he talked to his daughters about the issue and Bristol made it out like Sasha and Malia only got their opinions on gays from Glee or when Bristol and Willow acted like homophobic ragists on facebook when someone dared criticize Mama Grizzly. Todd seems like a jerk too. We really got spared big time when we voted for Obama-Biden over McCain-Palin. I have no regrets about my vote because I think despite McCain’s relatively good health for a man his age, there’s a good possibility that he could have been incapacitated or even died in the first four years of his term making Palin the 45th president and that my friends would have been a disaster that would make the Buchanan presidency look decent.

Our country has some unfinished business. We need to heal from the simple fact that Sarah Palin was the Vice-Presidential candidate of one of the two major parties in 2008, and she got 46% of the vote.

Part of this healing process will be apologies. It would be ideal if John McCain were to apologize for his disastrous failure to vet his own running mate, before putting her on the ticket. I don’t expect Senator McCain to apologize. I do expect people who were involved in his campaign, and who care about our country, to speak up on this issue, and express their concerns and regret. This process has already begun, e.g. Nicole Wallace and Steve Schmidt.

But the healing has barely begun. It won’t be easy, but we have to do it. That Sarah Palin came so close to the highest political office in the country is NOT OK. We need to deal with this as a nation.

I’m forgetting but who did the keynote that year? The thing the Democrats seem to do well in their conventions is have people with optimism and class. Whether it’s Obama in 2004(my first introduction to him), Mark Warner in 2008(not a memorable speech but Warner is someone who united and not divides), and Mayor Castro in 2012. My experiences with RNC keynotes are things like Pat Buchanan’s now infamous 1992 culture war one, Zell Miller’s bizarro in 2004, and Christie in 2012. Not sure who it was in 2008 but Republicans are just too damn angry a party. IT’s funny how they’re always accusing the Democrats and left of being anger and resentful because most of the anger and resentment I see in American politics comes from a party who is angry at things such as gay couples enjoying equal rights under the law or kids who have been in the country so much they are American (except in citizenship) getting help with tutition. And of course this is the party that gave us King Bitter Asshole himself, Limbaugh.

Shit was pathetic. As I said, having a disability myself and having had a great aunt with the same condition her son does. Agh. And don’t get me started on how full of double standards she is with the word “retard.” She attacks Rahm Emanuel for using it in private but defends Limbaugh who used it on the air because Rush is a “satirist.” I don’t like the word either but my god show some consistency. She’s a pathetic hack. As I said, I just wish she’d shut up and run for some office already. I had some tiny grudging respect for Bachmann for running for president even though it should have been obvious to her and her strategists that a few term Congresswoman with no bills passed to her name had no chance of getting the nomination that she at least ran.

You’ll be glad to know old Fred has been reduced to shilling “reverse mortgages”.

I don’t have anything against Ol Fred personally but man it was just so amusing to hear about how the left should be terrified that he was running for president. It would be like if someone on the left said to the right that they should be terrified of Mike Gravel in 2008. I think the whole “you should be scared of so and so” stuff is stupid anyhow. I did think Obama was a good candidate and the best one the Dems had for the GE but I didn’t think the right should be terrified of him, after all these men and women run to serve our country.

Okay from the little I know of Shariah Law, I doubt Huma Abedin would dress like this if she was an advocate of Shariah and I also doubt given fundamentalist Islam’s hostility towards the Jewish religion that she’d marry a Jewish man. But maybe that’s just me and Anthony Weiner is a sekrit Muslim too.

If she were really an advocate of Sharia, which she most certainly isn’t, she wouldn’t marry a Jewish man, as a Muslim woman isn’t allowed to marry a non-Muslim man; whereas a Muslim man can marry a Jewish or Christian woman.

It’s also that the Muslim Brotherhood does not exist in either India or Pakistan, the nations her father and mother (respectively) come from. So its kind of unlikely she would give it the time of day.

If Sarah wants to fantasize that *that* would have turned the corner for the mighty McCain-Palin team, more power to her.

Personally, I think she’s box office poison. If Palin runs in 2014, that’s as close to a guaranteed Democratic “hold” as we’re likely to get. Sure, she could win — it’s Alaska — but I’d much rather see Palin’s name across the ballot from Begich’s than some other credible challenger.

re: #82 Dark_Falcon

But Rob Port, the editor of the conservative blog “Say Anything” — who told ABC News he is anti-abortion — attended the fair, and his 5-year-old daughter was among the children handed a toy fetus. He immediately threw it in the trash can, where it joined “a lot” of other fetus toys “littering the garbage bins,” he wrote on his blog.

“My daughter wasn’t sure what it was; she handed it to me with a weird look on her face,” he told ABC News. “I think a lot of people just thought it was weird.”

“She’s five,” he explained. “She doesn’t even know how babies are made.”

Port said this was the wrong way of spreading the anti-abortion message. He wrote a blog, “Dear Pro-Lifers: Can You Stop Being a Bunch of Weirdos?” on July 21: “Whatever group is out there trying to promote the pro-life message by handing out squish alien babies, stop. You’re doing more harm than good.”

It was their son, Gabriel, who had died soon after being born prematurely. To quote from Rick Santorum’s Wikipedia page:

In 1996, the Santorums’ son Gabriel was born prematurely after twenty weeks of pregnancy and died in the hospital two hours after birth. Karen wrote that she and Rick slept with the dead infant between them in the hospital that night, then brought his body home the following day and introduced it to their children as “your brother Gabriel”.[4][220][221] The handling of their infant son’s death attracted scrutiny in January 2012 following Santorum’s success in the Iowa caucuses. However, mental health experts interviewed by ABC News said what the Santorums did was encouraged at the time, although no longer recommended.[222] Writers who had experienced a stillbirth defended the Santorums’ actions, with columnist Charles Lane writing that he personally regretted not showing the body of his stillborn baby to his then-six-year old son,[223] and Jessica Heslam, writing that holding her own stillborn baby brought her “much peace”.[224]

My congressman, y’all!
(this is taken directly from his website)

The Democrat controlled U.S. Senate has “rammed” an amnesty bill through Congress that rivals Obamacare in size and scope. It is over 1,000 pages long and filled with sweeping changes to our national immigration policy.

12 million illegal aliens get complete amnesty.
Opens the floodgates for illegal immigration.
Ignores border security and immigration enforcement.
Costs taxpayers millions of dollars.
I fiercely oppose this dangerous Amnesty Bill. Criminal aliens may stay legally, while law abiding immigrants continue to wait. The promised border protection is a sham. There is no timeline to build the 700 miles of fencing.

Even more frightening, my provision to require a Department of Homeland Security plan to stop illegal weapons from crossing into our country did not make it in the final bill. We must act now.

Station: City Hall (IRT East Side Line)

…While the station may be closed, and very few straphangers have actually seen it, the track on which City Hall Station is located is not abandoned. The #6 trains still pass through it on their way northbound, reversing direction using the loop for the journey back to the Bronx. In fact, to get to City Hall station, one must ride on an out-of-service #6 train. To get out, the motorman would key open a a single end door to allow visitors to step carefully out onto the platform. First-time visitors are awe-struck at the station’s huge glass and brick arches and tiling. From time to time the NY Transit Museum has tours of this station, but these have been suspended due to perceived security risks in the area around City Hall….
