they'll be years of this in all our futures. whatever she said. but she isn't running for president. i'd gladly give anyone who disagrees 4-1.

which is why i've tuned her out to the point that i didn't even click the link.

she said something stupid? or resentful? it doesn't matter to her supporters and is no surprise to anyone else.

she's a beauty queen who dreamed of glory on television. she's living the dream.

[hi_im_god]

so now i clicked it and meh.

not like we've never seen her ramble incoherently before. i'd give it a 5.

She's the hot chick in school most guys wanted to bang. Most guys would let her talk for hours just for the chance to get in those drawers.

Smart homely chicks know this and hate her for it.


You're more likely to walk into a room where a unicorn is blowing a leprechaun than you are to find a woman in politics who doesn't look like a retired circus clown in a psych ward.

Her boss has publicly said she's "stupid". FOX has backed out of having her do any more specials. That TV gravy train is over, they've tired of her.

No, she's not running for President. I think she's on the Grifter 2011 tour, trying to get the last bit of money out of her remaining 5 fans and 5 seconds of fame, before she's gone from the scene forever.

But man, her unprecedented level of stupid continues to amaze

Yeah she's not popular. What f.ucking planet are you on? Seriously.

"He who warned, uh, the British that they weren't going to be taking away our arms uh by ringing those bells and making sure as he's riding his horse through town to send those warning shots and bells that we were going to be secure and we were going to be free and we were going to be armed."—on Paul Revere, June 3, 2011



um, yeah....


when i read 'the glorious cause' i don't recall that revere's ride was explained quite like that. then again...revere didn't get much press til longfellow's poem. she is an idiot. but the scary thought is that people would vote for her. there's a guy where i work who will vote for whomever gets the republican nod-he hates obama. thinks that any republican would be better. so yeah, he voted for mccain/palin.

What's the point? I actually find a number of women in politics attractive but that has nothing to do with ability, I think it's overly simplistic to think women hate Sarah because of her looks...hopefully they don't hate her at all but see through her act to appear remotely qualified to be President. I admit that I partake in laughing at many of her soundbites, but not because I feel compelled to hate her...actually, I respect her for voicing her opinions, I just think she lacks the background and common sense for the office. I am uncomfortable when threads such as this turn to mocking and reliance on perceptions of beauty to determine someone's worth....I apologize if I've come off that way and will stick to issues in the future.

i have an issue with palin; her lack of intelligence and ability. i have an issue with the media giving her so much attention because i think they do so because of her appearance. i think it's that quality that brings so much attention. she's the danica patrick of politics. i don't resent either of them, but i find it funny that they get the attention because they look nice, while those with ability are rarely mentioned. picture headlines about racing:


danica fifth.

oh, and__________won.




and that is how it's done. ridiculous.

Sarah Palin insisted Sunday that history was on her side when she claimed that Paul Revere's famous Massachusetts ride was intended to warn both British soldiers and his fellow colonists.

"You realize that you messed up about Paul Revere, don't you?" "Fox News Sunday" anchor Chris Wallace asked the potential 2012 presidential candidate.

"I didn't mess up about Paul Revere," replied Palin, a paid contributor to the network.

"Part of his ride was to warn the British that were already there. That, hey, you're not going to succeed. You're not going to take American arms. You are not going to beat our own well-armed persons, individual, private militia that we have," she added. "He did warn the British."


and i laughed and wondered why she didn't say which founding fathers she liked. she probably couldn't name any of them...

now, who's the dummy? her, or anyone who follows her?

Ditto. Palin is an embarrassment to professional, accomplished women of achievement everywhere. And that has nothing to do with her looks. She's at least a great role model for exercise and proper weight (as opposed to Christie, Barbour, Cain, etc)

Cult followers of Sarah Palin have attempted to change the Wikipedia page on Paul Revere to reflect the made-up nonsense Palin spouted publicly last week.

Here's her score from politifact...

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-me...-reveres-ride/

Check this link...guy made a documentary about her that releases in July...

Couple comments by the guy that directs..


"I believe in her. That's why I made the film," Bannon said. "She has a story that needs to be told."

"She's one of the most fascinating figures in America, and I think she's one of the most compelling stories," Bannon said.

Man this guy has been in the oven too long, he's cooked....

yeah, longfellow really helped paul revere's historical stature. until that poem, he was not even a minor player. matter of fact, i recently read 'the fort' by bernard cornwell. now, it's fiction, but it has some historical figures in it, including paul revere. he's not exactly a beacon of patriotism in that book-or apparently in the real setting that was the basis of the book(the penobscot expedition). yep, longfellow did that fellow quite a favor.
in his notes at the books' end, cornwell mentions a book by david hackett fischer about paul revere's ride. fischer describes the poem as "grossly, systematically and deliberately inaccurate".

[Riot]

Sarah Palin as the homeschool teacher of her children - doesn't that just fill you with hope for our future generations?

I feel so sorry for the little girl Piper Palin being dragged around in public like a prop, with no attempt to let her have childhood privacy or shield her from the press.

[joeydb]

Wow, that was bad. So Paul Revere was warning the British that "the British are coming?"

The Democrats and Obama should make sure that Palin's comments are corrected throughout all the 57 states.
