Gov. Palin is related to Rick Romero?

Is this really her only shtick? Resentment of liberal hippie communist big-city elites? I realize that this is a big part of the Republican party's platform, but usually they at least spice it up with some national security, tax cutting, or law-and-order rhetoric. She needs to expand her repetoire.

 
Daddy's Big Pink Man-Squirrel 2009-01-10 11:04:53 PM  
I remember John Stewart saying something about the events of September 11 being "urban centric".

A whole buncha that America they destroyed was in that there Jew York City, wasn't it?

Enough, please! Somebody send her to Coulter's dentist.

She has that whole "my Dad got killed by a giant conspiracy" sympathy thing going for her.

Sarah Palin!


She's not going to go away, is she? It's McCain's revenge.

FTFY. Oh, and the whole immediate kin dropping like fruit flies thing.

I hope hope hope Sarah sticks around for quite a while.

She is a great timesaver: whenever I find someone who doesn't understand why she's an idjit, I can automatically put 'em in the idjit file, doncha know.

What, precisely, constitutes "the media" as Palin knows it?

"There is clearly an urban centric, or urban elitism, attitude that pervades much of the media as we know it on many issues."

The headline makes it sound like Ms. Palin actually said this. Well, no way. You knew that, right? But I looked, to make sure.

It's not an exact quote. It left out her line about "the Iraq"

The many-headed hydra of every news outlet that's not Fox News, with the controlling body being a Satanic amalgam of DailyKOS and DU.

Which is probably secretly controlled by the Five Jewish Bankers.

I'd like to know how Ck is getting an "easy break" from the media. I don't see it. Also? She's not running for 2nd-in-command.

Palin = lulz

/also, how many times does this story have to go green? Gawd, keep her off fark for a couple years, please.

All headlines that mention Palin, bash Detroit, or include the words "Nanny State" get an auto-green

Caroline Kennedy is getting anything but an "easy break" from the media, at least in the Albany area of NY. Tons of editorials about how she's not qualified for the Senate and suggesting lists of credible replacements for Hillary.

Can Palin go back to the relative obscurity she came from? She's one of the reasons why I've changed my party affiliation from the GOP.

 
Weaver95 [TotalFark] 2009-01-10 11:31:32 PM  
Duh. Of course Caroline Kennedy gets a free pass. She's a Kennedy. That goes without saying.

The family history of the Kennedy clan ain't exactly recent news. What part confuses you?

Cry me a farking river. You're still mad because you were exposed as the GOP-created idiot you are. Go away.

I live in the sticks and was absolutely repulsed by Palin's pick for the VP spot.

IlGreven 2009-01-10 11:55:57 PM  
Sure, Caroline Kennedy gets an easy break.

Just like Obama got an easy break.

But they were too hard on Lil' Ol' Sarah AwShucks Palin, you betcha.

And John McCain got a really bad break by that awful media. And Bush and Cheney, too.

But Clinton got off easy! And where was all the vitriol for Al Gore?

Orange Crush: Caroline Kennedy is, you know, kind of, you know, getting, you know, an easy break, you know, from the liberal media. They think she's qualified because she "cares" about the children and the country.

The double standard that our objective liberal major media has is on full display in their support for Obama (no experience, community organzier), Caroline Kenendy (last name), Hillary Clinton (wife of former president), etc.


The verbal tics in this Palin/Kennedy spat are mind-boggling. "Uh, you know" on the one hand, and "Dontcha know, You betcha" on the other.

"Elitist" is becoming the new Republican N word. Not that it has nearly the same amount of historic bile and hatred behind it but it's a wonderful example showing how the Republicans are slowly becoming Stalinists.

I can't imagine why a junior senator candidate is getting less press and scrutiny than a VP candidate did during one of the most contentious elections in recent memory.

Must be that durned librul media.

 
Prospero424 [TotalFark] 2009-01-11 12:03:37 AM  
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just keeeeeeeeep using that prop of pitting the "big cities" against the "real America" and see where it gets you.

Please.

Keep it up.

PLEASE...

1) Caroline Kennedy is running (or whatever the hell you call it) for junior Senator of New York. Unless you're a New Yorker, it's kind of hard to give a shiat. They could put a talking polar bear in there for all I care.

You, on the other hand, were running for Vice President, behind a geriatric whose health has been ravaged by cancer, imprisonment, and torture.

2) Is there a skeleton in the Kennedy clan closet that hasn't been uncovered?

3) I haven't followed CK's bid very closely, but yes, her qualifications were questioned, and yes, it was on a channel other than Fox News.

 
PirateFreedom 2009-01-11 12:05:38 AM  
More evidence Palin has never read a newspaper (much less "all of them"), Kennedy is being deservedly excoriated.

And here I thought that it was any link to any part of Murdoch's empire or the Daily Kos.

Orange Crush: There's a huge difference in using slang and using filler words like "you know" to the point it is so distracting from the message being given. Palin is a good public speaker, as we saw in her Convention speech. She can speak without a teleprompter unlike Obama, who , um, uses those filler words too.

Oddly enough, without a teleprompter...obama can still make sense. If Palin isn't repeating word for word from a talking point, she says things about oil molecules being fungible and she forgets the names of newspapers and stupidly obvious political positions.

It's amusing how every leftwing just takes Tina Fey's exxageration of Palin as factual and accurate portrayal. And yeah, most Democrats actually think Palin said you could see Russia from her house in Alaska, when she never said that...Tina Fey did. It's rather sad that Democrats are getting their news from a militant feminist "comedian" on a SNL. She wouldn't have an agenda though...course not. :)

Yeah, it's definitely not even close to what she actually said...I mean, she just said you could see Russia from an Alaskan island.

The portrayal is ridiculously overblown...

Sarah Palin is getting an easy break just by being in the media still. Seriously, go away.

Maybe there is a sense of urban elitism because 80% of the people in the US are within the urban sprawl of a major city! And that's where all the universities are.

I don't remember her including me as one of her "real Americans," and she's too old to still talk in terms of hating, but other than that, she's done nothing to win my esteem.

I think it's more the other way around....leftwingers look down small cities and the South and Midwest. Everybody that lives in those places are hicks and probably in the KKK per leftwingers. Obama referred to regular Americans as bitter clingers, clinging to their religion and bibles, when talking to a bunch of leftwingers in San Fran.


Well, this hick KKK member who lives within 5 miles of about 10 churches...for about 5,000 people...voted for Obama.

Because he was right.
