If that's all they can come up with for comedy in Canada, they might want to give it up.

Remember, for the left it's "DESTROY AT ALL COSTS". Even if that cost is the impartiality of the press, honesty and basic decency.

She must be destroyed for the glory of our overlord THE ONE: OBAMA!

When they get "Freedom of Speech" in their country, I might give a rats-ass about their opinions.

A female Michael Moore wannabe (but without the "class") has her two minutes of un-funny-fame and Palin is the one the left thinks comes across as a doof?

They are so petrified of this nice, smart woman that it's truly mesmerizing to watch.

Ladies and gentleman, Sarah Palin the next president of the United States.

I thought Canadians were our "polite" neighbors to the north. (Not really, every Canadian I've ever know has been obnoxious and arrogant like that chick.)

It is hard not to beam with pride when witnessing Sarah Palin's genuine kindness towards people. She will be just as kind to the elite snobs as she continues to mop the floor with them at every turn. I know these snotbags think this constant attacking of her is helping their losing cause. Liberal progressive douchebaggery will be shown the door in 2010 and put out its selfish misery in 2012.

Here's the 25 minute documentary "Dead Meat" about the Canadian Health Care system. (originally screened at the Liberty Film Festival like 4 years ago.)

http://www.onthefencefilms.com/video/deadmeat/dea...

Yeah Michael Moore did go on Hannity, and expose himself to the other side, so he actually went way up in my estimation then.

You know BL, the other day you said that Sarah Palin was being overhyped/overexposed I don't remember which. Anyway, this seems to be an example of what you were talking about. I'm sure there will be more to follow.

You're exactly right about this situation. I had this feeling when I watched the video earlier today, but it was more of a half-formed thought. I certainly couldn't have expressed it as well as you did. But you're exactly right. Sarah Palin extended human kindness to this woman, not caring that she might be a mental case or what the hell ever.

I'm tellin' ya. The more they hate her, the more I like her.

I already posted this comment over at the Mediaite site, but I guess it's worth repeating.

Mary Walsh is a socialist/progressive fool who has been sucking on the Canadian taxpayer funded CBC teat for as long as I can remember. That's her whole shtick, so there's nothing new here.

Not nice at all. I am a Canadian who has lived in the US since 1973 and became a citizen in 1998. I am a supporter of Sarah Palin and like her precisely because she reminds me of the good solid character of everyday Americans and Canadians. I assume you are commenting on this site because you are a conservative or Republican but be careful when making blanket negative statements about an entire nation of people. Saying that "….every Canadian I've ever know(n) has been obnoxious and arrogant…" makes you sound like a leftist. Please pull back your horns and reconsider your dismissive attitudes about all Canadians.

Normal people have that effect on socialist/progressive types.

Cinematic gold can be obtained by a carefully placed outstretched foot in these circumstances.

Its what I'm working for…

Maybe because she isn't the dim bulb in the light string everyone wants her to be…on both the right and the left…

Mr. Nolte is spot-on in his observations. I too was waiting for the shoe to fall in this video. Nothing, nada, big zero. The only thing that stood out was Mrs. Palin's politeness.
The more these jerks hate her, the more I like her too. Can't believe this Sf, CA girl is saying this, but as far as I'm concerned, she has a great shot at 2012. And the left is going to hand it right to her.

I liked Red Green =/

Red is cool. But Tom Green stinks.

Quando omni flunkus moritati-
When all else fails, play dead.

I'm a man, but I can change, if I have to, I guess.

Okay, let me get this straight. Palin didn't recognize Marg as an 'entertainer' because she's a great big nobody in entertainment, so she recognized her as a human being. How droll.

Dems prove Ann Coulter right every chance they get. Whatever they are up to, they blame conservatives for doing. So if Palin is proved naive by some canuck asking a question, what does that make Obama for bowing like lowly piss-boy in Japan, closing that Am. Indian conference on national television for five minutes before addressing the Fort Hood massacre, and by doing everything he can to embolden our enemies and destroy or weaken our allies? He is NAIVE. Palin has more character and strength in her pinky toe than there is in the entire Obama Administration. She is a real leader compared to the shnookering that Obama offers.

(continued)

And before anyone asks: Does Obama ace this test? HELL NO! But, does he score higher than Palin? You bet he does.

Given the choice between the two of them, I'd ask if I could return both of them for store credit towards a Hillary. Absent that, I'll stick with Obama as the better of two imperfect options – and if the BEST the GOP can do in 2012 really is ROMNEY… well, I don't see my calculation changing much.

SQT, you answered your own questions. The left-tards do think they are better than everyone else. They not only do not have any connections to the regular people but they do not want to have any connections with the regular people because they hate and despise them. I know quite a few of that type and the only reason I can get along with them is because I try to treat all people with courtesy and respect, even those who feel they have the right to villify and dehumanize those people they disagree with. I guess I am fortunate that I look like some outlaw biker or they might be tempted to treat me the same way. I am ever hopeful that my good example will eventually rub off on them and they will become true civilized human beings.

Hey, Smallpeniski, if you are so traumatized by this type of article why don't you find some safe, dark, windowless room where you can shove your head and enjoy the company of your fellow left-turds?

Proof that the nut-jobs on the left will take anything Palin says and spin it to what they want…but they might want to have a meeting of the minds soon because they are getting weaker and lamer.

Perhaps I should hasten to pacify you before you climb a tower and start shooting folks you find obnoxious and arrogant. Let me try one last time. To claim an entire nation of people are all one thing is immature and ignorant. Don't you understand that to make blanket statements about anything is simply wrong. I had a bad apple once so should I sware off fruit forever? I was treated rudely by a man in the street in Chicago so should I turn against every person that resides in Illinois? My original reply to your post was polite and contained no personal attacks but you immediately replied by turning my words and phrases back at me; mind you I noticed you changed your two slings to 'rude and obnoxious' so at least we are no longer considered 'arrogant'. Whew! By the way, I did not call you a leftist. I merely suggested that your comments made you 'sound' like a leftist. Hopefully you will not climb that tower or turn against entire other nations but I will ask you to please try your best never to visit Canada again because they upset you so – especially when you are off your meds.

hmmmm i dont see any strings I dont feel any strings. Gee whats that smeel smells like troll poop to me

you hit it on the head, well in their cases the "empty heads"….

What a bizarre and immature reaction. Why does everyone on the left write like a teenager?

Evening all. I'm not sure why everyone is getting so worked up about this. Mary Walsh is the actress that plays this character Marg Delahunty. It's lame and well past it's expired date and the only reason it still gets played is because it's on a show on the CBC (government subsidized TV network, sort of like PBS). Her schtick is to barge into press conferences, meetings, book signings and basically be obnoxious. I thought Palin handled it well (especially since she had no idea who this idiot was) and displayed why she is so admired.
I really don't know why Walsh would do this as most of her act comes from the "victim" knowing who she is and she must of known that she (Walsh) would come off as an boob to anyone (American or Canadian) watching the video.

I put myself through college by waiting tables and the outlaw biker types were the best tippers.

Extremist Liberal elite are heatless, vile, hollow, and ruthlessness. This act makes them inhuman. Radical Liberal are Fiends.

Mary Walsh got her shot on the CBC after the "Terrance and Phillip" show ran out of gas.

She's not even dim. She's the bright shining light for the rise of anti-intellectualism in America.

He didn't say he was picking a leader…

Trick? TRICK? What was the freaking trick? The woman said she was a conservative from Canada, but she's really a liberal with a stupid show. Big deal. Do you actually think that Palin on a book tour is suppose to demand credentials from every person who asks her a question? ABSURD!

Skepticism? A being of the mind? A thinker? Someone who DOES know every possible variable? You mean like someone who proclaims he's going to close Gitmo in 1 year without a plan? Someone who goes around apologizing for America and schmoozing Europe and still doesn't get the added troops he wanted? Someone who thinks schmoozing Iran will get them to give up their nuclear arms ambitions (another failure)? Someone who claims a massive stimulus bill must be passed or unemployment will surpass 8% without it? A failed Asia trip where he gets lectured about US debt and no change with the yuan?

The list is numerous. No skepticism, no thinking, no looking at every possible variable. And crackpot Obama actually was pushing and believed he could have a health care bill on his desk before the August break?

Give me a break.

It is truly and deeply amazing to me that I live in a country where there are citizens that honestly feel that Sarah Palin should win the Presidency of the United States. I am just totally astounded. Is that where we are at? We all hate our government so completely, that the everylady-next-door should be running things? She who serves up soundbites and little nuggets of gut-bustin' wisdom, and an awesome apple pie? "Well HECK – It sure would be better than that terrorist, muzzie, elitist scumbag racist we got now!" Wow. We are truly in the toilet. Anti-intellectualism is the new religion.

He didn't have to.

Spinalcracker, don't worry, you're not missing much!

Walsh is from the show 'This Hour Has 22 minutes'. They do stuff like this. In the past they have fooled George Bush and Al Gore. As a Canadian I think what she said was right on. My American friends can watch this and get real mad. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=rick+... It's the kind of stuff 'This Hour Has 22 minutes' would do. It's a different actor but it was originally from the same show Walsh was on.

Do you even live in America? Do you realize we don't live in a dictatorship? Obviously you see our President through your armchair quarterback lens of abject failure, but do you even acknowledge that he is human? or is that giving him WAY too much credit in your world. I submit to you my Bud-swilling all American prez hater this: You have absolutely ZERO clue about the plans and talks regarding Gitmo – thats about as top secret as you can get these days. "Schmoozing Iran?" Iran *absolutely* will be a nuclear power and there is no way to stop that. Read up on the straight of Hormuz and connect the dots. The stimulus bill worked. In the short term. It was a gamble. We will see if we win or lose, but he made the call and took the shot. He did his job. And whats wrong with pushing and setting goals? Lots of presidential goals don't get easily met – or did you miss that part of American politics?

Wait — did I just hear a guy whose country has a quasi-socialist for a President make fun of a country which has a conservative for a Prime Minister for being too leftist?

Mary Walsh is not exactly representative of most Canadians, any more than John Stewart is representative of most Americans.

Is there anything else the SEIU, ACORN, Soros, DNC, and MSNBC memos told you to parrot?

I don't want to think about Michael Moore exposing himself to anybody.

"I can't help but shudder at that assessment."

You think I'm NOT? Obama seems less and less willing/able to actually get stuff DONE – for good or ill – with each passing day. You think I LIKE having to choose between "smart but innactive" and "decisive but dumb?"

Well, they can't all be Colin Mochrie…

She'll never get into the corners.

Sorry. Old Emo Phillips joke.

Go Back to Ontario

You mean the guy we've got isn't the joke of the planet already?

I'm still not sure what your point is. If it's that "essentially good" people have no business going anywhere near the venal and corrupt business of politics, I might buy it, but otherwise, I just don't know.

So your assumption that Chidog is a "Bud-swilling all-American" is any nicer? Or because he's a "prez hater", do you believe that he's automatically a racist?

You have no idea of how little freedom we have – for speech or anything else. it is that fact that got me interested in Conservative politics in the US. As I said, it was my hope that y'all would win this fight and I would have a haven to which I could escape.

i was embarrassed a couple of weeks ago when Greg Koukle talked about being in Calgary. Boy was my face red.

speaking as a canuck… I've only actually met about 3 nice Canadians in more than 6 decades of looking. I have no idea where that idea came from.

'This Hour Has 22 Minutes' pre-dates 'The Daily Show' by 3 years. Marg Delhunty is the creator of the show. This clip isn't very funny, but hey, it's 2 minutes out of hundreds of hours of show. The character usually does this with all prominent politicians, left or right.

Hate her? Love her? There is no in between….Things are getting out of hand.. Instead sticking with the issues and truth.. But let us not forget about her defenders who are equally rabid.. You cant state her record or actions critically without being attacked.. The truth has died in America.. This why America has been bankrupted ….the truth doesn’t matter it is all about the game… who cares what the loony libs says? I don’t! but here you publish their insanity and give it credibility!!… I know you are just selling your site..

Not only is the loony left going after Sarah Palin for answering a question during one of her book signings, they are going after her for being involved in helping the Red Cross raise a record breaking amount of money on Thanksgiving Day's Turkey Trot. Palin left the race early to avoid the huge crowd that was waiting to see her at the end of the race, and the loons think that is something to get themselves all worked up about. Wow, Sarah Palin helps the Red Cross raise money, and answers what appeared to be an ordinary person's question, and she gets bashed for both. How pathetic can the loony left get? Judging from their total obsession with everything Palin, most of them will need some sort of long term institutionalization when Palin becomes president.

"She's ridiculous."

How? Please spell out why you think she is ridiculous. Thanks.

This is how the left automatically assumes anyone on the right is like–some bud-swilling hick. The fact is if you were to break it down there is a far higher percentage of conservatives with college plus education and they have a larger percentage of entrepreneurs.

This view that anyone opposed to the Progressive agenda must be intellectually vacant is one that has been nurtured for years. It is a lie perpetuated and if you believe it, please know that you have been brainwashed.

So let me get this straight: Marg Delahunty, an alleged 'comedianne', asks Palin two innocuous questions about Canadian conservatives. Then, when Marg is out of ear-shot of Palin, accuses her of writing lies into her book. How was this supposed to score lefty cool kid points against Palin? Forget about that. When was this scenario supposed to get funny?

If this is the best the comics of Soviet Canuckistan can do to rattle Sarah Palin's cage, they need to go back to school and do something closer within their intellectual capacity…like finger painting or reciting the alphabet.

"The more they hate her, the more I like her.
Now THAT is the way to pick a leader."

Now, divisional, that kind of thinking is exactly why you'll never be regional or national. You're doomed to be divisional forever, because of how you box yourself into these situations.

Y'see, liking is liking, nothing more. For example, I like you, but I wouldn't pick you to lead anything, not even a platoon of pooper-scoopers. And that's considering the fact that you're my stepson. I know I shouldn't mention that, but hell, I ain't ashamed of ya. I'll never forget that day I stepped in sump'n and out you crawled. (Get it? STEP SON???) I do so hope I'm not taxin' your mental powers here.

The truth is, I would vote for Mrs. Palin against Obumbler, but she is far from my ideal choice.

" Obama seems less and less willing/able to actually get stuff DONE – for good or ill…."
***
I have to disagree with the (willing) part of this statement.
He is very anxious to 'get things done'……….just not anxious to honestly stand up and say this is what… 'I' want for you.'
He has been playing "Chicken Little" since January 21st.
He won't acknowledge being the driving force behind the pushing of Health Care, Cap and Tax, Globalization, Socialization of America, etc. Instead he says- 'We have to do something, and we have to do it fast, even if we don't get it exactly right, it's got to be now!'
The one thing he is stalling on, is the Decision about our position in Afghanistan.
Everything else is Crises! – Crises! – Will Robertson!

What I find most objectionable about our present leader is his amorphousness. Many people say they know what he stands for yet 'hope and change' seems to have as many interpretations as there are factions of society.

I would prefer some straight talk, even said with a twang, to all the cloudy verbiage.
Wonder what happened to the saying, "The Buck Stops Here!" ?

MovieBob
……."you DO NOT acknowledge ridiculous-acting people with microphones being followed by a cameraman."
…what I saw on the video was the typical pushy reporter type.

Why are Ms. Palin's handlers so terrified of letting her answer unscripted questions? Perhaps because they don't trust what she will say. This woman has yet to give a press conference of any kind. She prohibits the media from attending her speeches. She complains about her rough treatment by the media and comes across as a whining diva. If she wants to enter the serious world of national politics, she has to learn how to handle the media instead of claiming to be its victim. Until she does so, she continues to look foolish. C'mon having to yell over her own handlers – ridiculous!

Those pulling the strings for the liberals are…………
Socialists/downright Communists such as Chaves and Ayers and the liberals can't comprehend that when is right in their faces. What the heck is "economic liberty"???????? I guessing it's a socialist buzzword for class warfare.

Knowledge of pop culture is infinitely more important to the left elitists than any of the serious issues. I remember when The Old Gray Lady's Old Gray Lady, Maureen Dowd, was aghast that George W. Bush had never watched Sex and the City. That told me more about her than it ever did about W: you can't fish in her creek. It's too shallow.

Some nutball named "divisive" or something like that has been making lame comments elsewhere on this thread. And it's already getting horsewhipped – all vitriol, no substance (as usual for a leftie troll).

That twit busted in line ahead of all the people in line. Is she somehow entitled to jump the line because she's a liberal with a mic? That's why she was tossed out, you idiot.

Terry, I would vote for Palin over Obama (or anyone else the dems or gop have thrown out recently) because, when she governed Alaska, she did so in a manner that attacked corruption, upheld liberty and promoted the use of natural resources without discounting environmental impact. That's her record. And, oh wait! Bonus! She's nice, too. But "nice" isn't why I'd vote for her. It's her policies and beliefs and the way she frightens leftists and establishment types who can't counter her arguments that impresses me.

This woman made me feel sorry for her…perhaps embarrassed is the right word. Sarah Palin has so much going…and this woman, well, she has nothing. She set out to poke fun at the beast and the beast treated her with kindness and honesty…damnit.

I can't believe that three pages of comments have now been generated by this. Geez guys, it was a lame attempt at gotcha comedy done by a has been character that was going to try to garner laughs (or at least smug laughs) based barging in and asking questions about Canadian government health care. Mary Walsh knew what the response would be (if she got answered) and was banking on this for the few canadians that still watch the CBC.
Some of the comments being left are really beyond the pale for something this trivial. Really folks, don't give this more attention than it deserves.

How on earth does Obama qualify as "smart", and Palin "dumb"?

Obama was the one who thought he could talk the worlds leaders into loving America through the power of his Charisma and a couple of well placed bows. Quite ruthless, that.

Yeah right. When people are organizing children's choirs singing hymns to Sarah, when brain-dead celebutards are pledging themselves to her, when people are going on about how she will cover their fuel costs and mortgages, when people start writing her names on the foreheads of their babies, and when "journalists" comparing her to God, then maybe you've got a case.

I totally agree with the essay and the comments that say it was the female "host" who came off looking bad. Not Palin.

When will people realize that Liberals are all insane hatemongers? Yes, every last one of them. They only differ by degree.

The replies – as I could have expected – reinforce my point about the "partiers" having intellectual and emotional issues. They don't realize that without the help of string-pullers like those Beltway insiders they probably never would have heard of the "parties". Their emotional failings cause them to see everyone who criticizes them as a Communist hippie traitor; they're unable to do very basic research in order to understand someone's criticism.

If any readers of this site are smarter, more in control, and want to actually have an impact, help me promote this plan.

"She is presently promoting a book, not running for any office."

Sure she is. And I watched Xena for it's complex reinterpretations of Greek mythological archetypes

I think you captured lots of people's feelings SQT.

It is the "common courtesy" part that you mentioned that rankles them.

It is demonstrated every day. Church folks go to Katrina victims to help feed and comfort them, libs complain that the government failed the people and report with great glee that hurricane refugees living in FEMA emergency trailers 4 years later are insufficiently housed.

Liberals scream "Go Green" and then only drink water from plastic bottles and plow thru 100's of Starbucks disposable cups a year. Meanwhile those stupid conservatives, live frugally and never bought into the disposable lifestyle (and are mocked for it). I can personally attest to the last part.

Yo Bill, lemme guess, sounds like your one of the 90 percent….

Well, a progressive socialist libtard said it so it must be true. If one of these creatures says something, it must be taken as gospel and not questioned. After all they're so intellectually superior to the rest of us and that we should obey them unthinkingly – they believe that leadership ability stems solely from being an intellectual. Unfortunately for them, they don't understand that leadership is a summation of intellect, common sense and several other factors – something that the W0n doesn't possess.

Hmm, and you didn't view President G.W. Bush as an abject failure? Or that he was even human? Does that make you a wine-sipping anti-American conservative hater? Maybe you have some divine insight into the plans and talks regarding Gitmo? You believe in showing our backsides to Iran and appeasing them as the bumbling UN has been for ages? You don't think that there are plans in place to deal with Iran if they loose off a nuke, at Israel, into the Straits of Hormuz or any other place? Actually, under our current bumbling president, we might not! And who exactly started the whole Iran problem in the first place, and who has been flubbing it since then – Carter, Clinton and 0bama maybe? You don't think that the stimulus bill, along with the nationalization of the auto, banking industries and the current attempt with the insurance industry isn't the attempt at the socialization of our country? Oh silly me – you would applaud that last one, wouldn't you? I would hope that many of our current president's goals like that aren't met – and I've learned that ignoring history (such as the rise and fall of Communism) usually means that you're doomed to repeat it.

I am from the Bay Area…and I LOVE her!! There are a lot of us "in the closet", don't worry. Anyone who actually learns what she has actually DONE in her life will agree, she is awesome, she is American, she is pro-live and let live, pro-defense of innocent, pro-freedom, pro-capitalism as the best way to help the poor, etc.

She IS what I think of as all that is uniquely great about America and Americans. I wish every American would be as hard-working and respectful of each other as she is. If we were, this country would return to its normal greatness.

She has my vote, period.

I do watch CBC from time to time. My folks got me semi-hooked to "Coronation Street," so I may have seen her, but took no notice.
Are you Canadian?

Yes I am Canadian. I have lived across Canada!

I'm wondering how this video could "embarrass" Sarah Palin as well. She had maybe 10-15 seconds of time in the whole thing.

Most of it was the obnoxious lady with the microphone grandstanding all over the place.

Because you are an idiot, idiot. Why on earth does Sarah Palin, who is not running for office currently, need to give a press conference? She been on multiple interviews, talk radio and TV and has done a fantastic job on all. You probably missed all those due to your inability to find your own ass with both hands.

The left is terrified of Sarah,she threatens to take lots of voters from them such as:White women,working moms,women with special needs kids and men who just plain have the hots for her! that are desperately needed for the democratic machine to stay in power.

And you won't be hypercritical of President Obama? Maybe it's time to start trying to assume best intentions on all sides…that we are all Americans, passionate about our opinions because we all want the best for our country.

You mean the same way that "Hopey Changey! Obama Obama mmm mmm mmm!" elected one?

Ever notice what some call "intellectual" usually isn't?

Bless your heart, this desire to discredit someone who has proven herself to be a person of character speaks more of your own issues than any Palin has. Are you as willing to defend the lack of character in Obama as you are to denounce Palin's? And Im sorry if you think the "right" has been malicious towards the left…but then anyone caught in a lie and proven to be false would think it malicious that someone actually had the gall to point it out. I see that kind of abusive behavior in my own family. Sorry – I dont believe you: telling the truth does not make your misery our fault. Youve made yourself miserable. It might help you to study the character of people like Palin and Reagan and Beck to get an inkling of how to rid yourself of your misery. Bless your pea-pickin' little heart….

As I mentioned up-thread, what some people call "intellectual" is oddly not very intellectual.

I really don't get why this is funny. No partisan stuff, I really don't get it. Please, please, someone tell me why that is funny.

"Just saying that as a politician, by default, you should have to put up with the bad press as well as the good."

Private citizen on a book tour.

I still live in a free country, as of this moment, and am allowed to feel any way I choose. Why do you assume that I am the one who is angry? I don't need anger to disagree. GWB did not have a hard left liberal progressive agenda, BO does. A hard left liberal progressive agenda is not what's best for this country. If BO was so proud of his agenda, why did he run as a moderate? He would have been shown the door in short order that's why.

"if you actually believe in justice and fairness"

If Canada has private clinics doesn't that mean there is a two-tier system? one for the haves and one for the have-nots? How is that "fair".

He didnt "get the point" because you, in your inept Bush Derangement Syndrome (and yes, Im calling it that because its nothing more than the same "Bush is Dumb" blather), HAVE NOT MADE YOUR POINT. The worst thing youve said is "Bush is Dumb!" *YAWN!*

I CHALLENGE YOU TO EXPLAIN EXACTLY HOW THE STIMULUS WORKED. Do the words "10 percent unemployment" mean anything to you?! Where DID the stimulus money go??? This administration says it wanted to be transparent? WHERE DID THE STIMULUS MONEY GO?

Well said. I remember how Ronnie was belittled. All the way up to election night, although by that time MSM was predicting a close election. A testament to his greatness that now, thirty years later and from the grave, he inspires us to save our nation again.

She then suffered through a systematic and politically orchestrated legal persecution that would have bankrupted her and her family. She had to sit back and endure her daughter's scumbag ex dishing out dirt about their sex life on TV. She weathered the storm without saying a word. She didn't even respond to the sick Letterman joke until she was pressed about it in interviews that were supposed to be about the natural gas pipeline (a monumental accomplishment that the press almost completely ignored). How long is she supposed to suffer this garbage before she said anything in defense of her children? Was she supposed to wait until one of them was abducted or killed? Get a clue.

Obama DOESNT want whats best for this country. He showed that kind of contempt by bowing to the Saudi king. No American bows – EVER. And the Obamanation has no respect for the office of the President so why should I give it to him? He's not MY President.

Class shows, no matter who the "press" is. Large Marge had no class, Palin did. That's the sticking point with leftards and that's all there is to it. They can howl all they want: class shows.

Actually, unless you relinquish your citizenship, Obama is your president. You may not like it and that is your right. But to call him a bastard, to deny him any semblence of respect, to claim he has contempt for this country seems petty and mean-spirited. Can't you disagree without demonizing? I assume you want what's best for this country, can't you assume the best about me?

For you, go back to void. In addition, I am Christian. Is there problem with that?

I guess the fact that she doesn't want to be asked questions is why she was on almost every news and talk show over the past two weeks answering questions, right? This is exactly what I mean.

She wanted to do press conferences during the campaign but was kept "quiet" by her handlers. And why? All I know is she sounded rational and coherent on Oprah, et al this month.

Please tell me you get your information from places other than recycled Newsweeks and HuffPos. Please.

I'll be sure to tell BusHitler you said that. *wink wink*

And there you have it! The new mantra: Palin complains about the press.

Would you guys be just on the left be a little more creative–it's not that hard to do. And it makes having to discuss something with you all very tedious. Step away from the MSM playbook for just one second.

Its just for that little guy called Jesus. He wasn't exactly known for accusing people of being Inhuman. That whole love thy Enemy thing explains it I guess. For the most part, the Liberal elite are vile, hollow and ruthless, but they arn't Inhuman. Calling people Inhuman is more in the territory of National Socialism or Communism, so calling people Inhuman is something you have in common with the great leftist mass murderers of the 20th century.

Just saying. Hatred of people, however richly they deserve it, never leads to anything but pain and its not a very Christian thing to do.

This Canadian if you can call her a Comedian, was punked by a pure heart and good security!!!

Sarah Palin is so dumb that she can't name all 57 states!

greetings. fellow oaklander ! i know it can be hard to believe sometimes (most of the time) but you are not alone here. the knee-jerk, irrational hated of palin from the moment she came onto the national scene astounds and offends me. she and i don't agree on every issue, but the opinion of anyone who can't see her basic decency is not to be taken seriously.

Smart? Please supply evidence. You know like grades or a paper from school. Perhaps something he published when he was editor of the Harvard law review, of course there is always the lovely poem he wrote____Under water grottos, caverns__Filled with apes__That eat figs.__Stepping on the figs__That the apes__Eat, they crunch.__The apes howl, bare __Their fangs, dance,__Tumble in the __Rushing water,__Musty, wet pelts__Glistening in the blue.____There is another I have not seen before here http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/18/us/politics/18p... is longer so maybe there is some intelligence there mostly it sounds like a web page crawler page.

"Website, don't even try to draw a parallel with Hillary Clinton or anyone else. That doesn't wash and you know it."

I guess being accused of some sort of role in the death of Vince Foster doesn't count. Or the old "Hillary Clinton Chicken Special" jokes circulated around during election time (and well before).

Or the old Limbaugh "White House Dog" crack involving Chelsea Clinton, who was only 13 at the time. Of course, liberals are all evil pieces of shit and deserve it, don't they?

"Within 24 hours of her introduction Sarah Palin was characterized by the media as a: bitch, whore, gender traitor, c**t, adulteress, bad mother, hillbilly, white trash, slut, porn star, blow up doll, fake woman, bimbo, fascist, theocrat, wolf-killer, book-burner, traitor, etc. They made up disgusting lies about her husband being a traitor, her son being a drug addict, and how she faked her pregnancy."

The worst thing I can remember about her during the campaign is her inability to wing an interview with Katie Couric.

Of course, Katie is such a devious interviewer (second only to Larry King). I don't know how she didn't get around that.

"They made up disgusting lies about her husband being a traitor, her son being a drug addict, and how she faked her pregnancy. They were outrageously vicious about her daughter's pregnancy and her Down syndrome son. Her daughters received threats st school about being gang-raped. She was hung in effigy, made the subject of porn films, and had her church b urned down."

I don't really recall any terrible things said about her son with Down's Symdrome. In fact, I admire her as a parent of a special needs child.

My reaction to that post, exactly. LOL!!

I find it hilarious to see how crazed Sarah Palin makes those who hate her!

And you can demonstrate this.. . how?

LOL! Your posts keep getting funnier and funnier!

Now THAT has got to be funniest thing I've seen yet! Best intentions? From Obama and/or his followers?

Obama wants the best for this country? By getting us into unmanageable debt? By going around the world apologizing for our country? By taking over everything from the banks to car companies and soon healthcare? By insulting our allies and kissing up to our enemies? By pretending Islam is not at war with us and sucking up to this bloodthirsty ideology every time he gets the opportunity? By humiliating the families who lost people on 9/11 by this mock trial he's going to be giving the perpetrators? (Which is simply an effort to try the Bush Adminstrations for so called war crimes – which to normal people is just PROTECTING OUR COUNTRY.

Shall I go on?

How ridiculous you are.

Soooo true. I don't have the stats to back it up but my personal experience is certainly in line with your assertions. My two lib parents never made it past high school (my dad not graduating). My conservative in-laws– both college grads. My husband works in finance and most of his clients fall into the well-educated conservative category. The very few wealthy liberal clients he has trend strongly toward the inherited wealth group.

Okay. You addressed the Letterman thing– poorly. Now go back and address everything else he listed and attempt to come up with something better than Lewinsky. I mean really. He did screw around with an intern in the White House and then lie about it. What has Sarah done that even comes close?

Yeah. I'm sure you'd like to "nevermind" the discussion.

No one coddles her. There is no way you can claim that the treatment this woman has received from the moment she appeared on the national stage has been equal to the treatment Hillary Clinton has received. (And not just from the Left, but from all sides.)

Spare me your nonsense. Go back through the list and address each one, and then come back and tell us how other people have been treated as obscenely.

Something tells me I'll be waiting forever for your response.

I voted for Obama.
I thought Palin was stupid and looked for everything to hate about her.
After reading about HR 3590 and HR 2454, i finally realized what the left was trying to accomplish in this country.
I have since turned 180 degrees and now believe Palin kicks ass.
I have also realized that liberal people over react to any sort of discussion.
My mother for example, when I tried to discuss the healthcare bill.
"You have been reading some right-wing propaganda!" to the point of screaming at me.
This is my mother, imagine if it had been a stranger.
I was raised a liberal by my mother and tought to be a liberal by my schools.
But I am most certainly not a liberal.

I started to watch the video, and realized who it was (I think her real name is Mary Walsh), and immediately stopped it. Being from Canada, I am embarrassed t and disgusted that this woman "represents" our comedy. The sad part being is that she doesn't have to be funny, as she will get paid anyway by our pathetic publicly-funded CBC. I kid you not when I say I have seen home-produced videos on YouTube with more creativity than any original programming from the CBC.

Just my two cents here. TBL may seem like he's nitpicking sometimes but when it comes to ideology we all feel strongly about it's good for someone who is of the same philosophy to sorta police the ranks. And when someone comes along and says liberals are "inhuman" I too must draw the line. My take on liberals is that they reflect an aspect of human nature that is all too common — the desire for power, control, and getting back at people you don't like. They really are sick and twisted, some of them. Hate em? Yes, I really do. I can't remember who said it maybe Charles Krauthammer or somebody but he said "Hate is a euphemism for 'can't stand'" and I really can't stand those liberals. Hate 'em!

- P.S. got a big smile bein' called "Cheeky"

Exactly rckmom. You don't expend this amount of time, money, and energy trying to tear down someone who is irrelevant. Like most on the right I happen to think that Dennis Kucinich is a joke, but you don't hear conservatives on the verge of insanity about him and making concerted efforts to ruin his life.

I second OlympicLeprechaun but besides Palin's credentials, people that do laugh at Palin do so because an unequal standard is applied. A sexist bias is used against her. And she's labeled as "dangerous" because of her level of ignorance. How about Obama is dangerous because of his radicalism. How about Nancy Pelosi is dangerous. How about Barney Frank?? They're all dangerous and disgraceful. They are frauds. Someone comes along saying she wants to implement "common sense" political solutions "like Reagan" and they go into conniptions about how dangerous she is?? And yet Obama went so far as to liken himself to Reagan during his presidential campaign. Oh well, LuckyD.. you'll probably never get it.

Too true. It drives me bonkers. I would love just once to have a coherent discussion with someone on the left. Something that doesn't include unsubstantiated attacks and sticks to just the facts. I long for the day when ideas are merely presented and discussed. So far I have yet to see anything close.

Idiots don't have no sense, so in that case you may be .. close. I'd call Louise a yenta or a nag.

"No patriotic American would want to entrust our great country to anyone with such poor judgement, such unflappable ignorance, such unformed priorities that chance from day to day."

Really? Funny how you put that exact person in the White House a year ago.

Chance? I think you meant change, right?

Your post is all over the place. Put down the bong dude.

This is all just pointless.

I could "address" each point one by one (in fact, I had another post going over most of the first big reply from OlympicLeprechaun, but, for some reason, it didn't post. Don't ask me why – I don't know). I could lick Palin's boots on videotape for you and pledge my undying devotion to her, and it wouldn't really make any difference. In your eyes, she can do no wrong – she can only be done wrong by the evil mainstream media (i.e., anyone other than NewsMax) or anyone who disagrees with you.

So, to hell with it. I guess you will be waiting for my response forever. The rest of us have more important things to do. I'll spare you my nonsense – you have plenty of your own to deal with.

Did you even attempt to list one point of fact? If so i missed it. You, sir/madam, are a quitter.

LOL! I knew it. It's always the same. Ask one of you Palin haters to actuall support your statements and you cannot. Just like SQT said in a prior comment, the minute you're confronted with the facts it's, "Never mind!"

I've seen this so many times. It's pathetic.

It's the worst kind of sexism and is perpetuated by the very people who claim to be the home of feminism–the left. It's disgusting.

MovieB

How much security was there at the 'Tent Party' (on the White House grounds) versus the security for a small book signing?
Not to mention the book signing did not have an approved guest list.

Of course, everyone love soup.

Perhaps it's because an empty suit still has more substance than an empty head.

That's swell, because she only has about as much substance as mashed potatoes and, as you say, "gray'.

Of course not. Does the media ever show anything regarding her in a positive light? You may remember that she did the same for an interview with Greta Van Sustern.

I guess you did not read the title of this piece or perhaps you did and may be angered it applies too you. "Leftist Elites Trash Sarah Palin For…Being Kind"

And I believe the proper way to use quotation marks would be "gray" not "gray'

Read Reagan's own writings and you'll change your mind quick on that. He was a giant in our generation and history will bear that out.

Sorry, the empty head sits atop the empty suit. Why don't you just come out and admit that you don't like Palin. We'll respect you much more if you'd just do that. Trying to knock her down with comments (that we know aren't true) that show your lack of intelligence won't get you anywhere…here, or in life.

What do you base Obama's supposed intelligence on? It certainly can't be his actions. His grades? Oh, we don't know those. His books? Oh yeah. Pretty certain those were ghost written. His speeches? Oh yeah, those are written by speech writers and read exclusively off of teleprompters. Yeah. Obama is a model of an empty head too. So we're stuck with an empty head and an empty suit. Lucky us.

Actually, that's how many leaders are elected. You don't elect a leader because you hate him/her, you elect them because you like them more than the other side does. Divisional was being more truthful than he cares to admit.

Got me? Sorry no. Being civilized means extending to your fellow human beings the basic right to be treated decently, with respect and common courtesy; something I try to do with all people. However, being civilized does not mean a person has to let themselves be physically or verbally assaulted. So as long as those I meet respond to my civil behavior in the same way I will maintain that standard. Left-tards are those such as Maher, Stewart, et al. who not only want to reserve the right to villify and demean those they disagree with but also want to deny those they attack the right to defend themselves. Left-tards are people such as Moore, Penn, Sarandan, who have become obscenely rich thanks to free market capitalism but vilify the system and those who want also try to benefit by it, while trying to impose a Cuba type state socialism in the U.S.

Same here. All she did was give the reporter a couple seconds of her time! Gosh, that's just… …kinda nice?

Wow, you are quite the dreamer aren't you? Poor little boy.

Keep trying to explain away your self-contradiction. You might eventually convince yourself.

Yeah, she's proven herself to a person of character – The Joker, from Batman.

There are people already studying Beck's character. They're called psychiatrists. That is one loony little man. I agree that we should all treat the mentally ill with kindness but to take him seriously you'd have to be as crazy as he. No wonder you Righties love him.

Which is still deeper than the dried up creek bed that is Palin.

Typical Liberal, Insult anyone who has a different opinion because YOU have to be right!

No one is stopping you from hating anyone. What is being stopped is your desire to declare open season on people who's views or lifestyle don't match what your ignorant thinks is acceptable. We actually look forward to a peaceful country that does not breed hate and violence. I pity your children, should you ever find a willing receptacle for your undoubtedly vile seed

That attempts to make fun of someone not being able articulate a thought has absolutely no ability to actually debate the issue. Instead, the only response they have is to try to mischaracterize and belittle those who have an opposing view.

I did make sense. The OP claims Obama wants the best for this country. I listed several examples of things he has done which demonstrate exactly the opposite, and then asked the OP (or any other commenters) to show me either where my facts are inaccurate or how such behavior does not demonstrate the fact that he doesn't have the country's best interests at heart.

It's a pity you apparently can't read or comprehend basic English.

I have listed the things he's done which demonstrate he does not have the country's best interests at heart. I'd ask for you to address those specific examples, but I know you will not.

Gee, funny how you forgot to mention that she quit her governorship when her actions began to come under questioning. She's a quitter and that's also part of her record.

Do you really believe she frightens leftists? Leftists, the ones who aren't atheist commie socialists, are praying to god she is the GOOP nominee in 2012.

I am sorry you are incapable of discerning the difference; I imagine it is the fault of the brainwashing you have received over the years from the education system and the Industrial Entertainment-Media complex and from having lived for years in an ideological bubble. Maybe one day you will stop believing the lies of those who portray their fellow citizens as less than human and enemies of the state and you will turn your back on the hate mongering left-tards. After all, you are on the wrong side of history. Those people you are so quick to defend are doing nothing different than what was done by the Nazis, Stalin and Mao before they decided that those they deemed enemies of the state were subject to elimination. You have placed yourself in fine company.

Was that addressing me?

Neither, it was sarcasm.

Good effort though.

Kudos for this prime example of deep conservative thought and logic. Your mama must be proud.

Show me where I have approved of any debt Pres. Bush got us into or of any of his behavior with the Saudis.

Show me where there is evidence that they are lovers. (What a vile and obscene accusation. You'd better have some facts to back that up.)

Guess you didn't hear of the bailouts and the pending healthcare bill, eh? Looks like you need to start watching the news.

Here are plenty of families against the travesty of these trials. Here are a few:
http://www.911familiesforamerica.org/?p=1966#more...
And any person with the slightest bit of decency would be against this as well.

You have zero knowledge about (and I am certain no interest in) who I am or what my name means.

I have addressed all your points. But I did not even need to for the simple reason that listing other wrongs does not excuse or remotely address my original points.

Unless I see those addressed, I am done speaking with you. Your ugly tone and words lead me to believe you have no interest in actual discussion.

You can't identify by name any such study and you know it. That's why you reference your nonsense using general terms.

It's clear you are the only one spending so much time…..Perhaps one day you'll convince yourself.

And how much time are you spending trolling these threads?

Palin's list of accomplishments in office dwarfs anything Obama has ever done or will ever do, But since you are content to get your information about her from SNL and Daily Beast then I wouldn't expect you to know that.

Explain some of Obama's substance please. When he cleans out corruption in his own party, breaks the power of big oil, and engineers the biggest energy infrastructure project in American history then you have a case. But i guess that covering up ACORN's criminal activities makes him qualified for President.

Your problem, like so many other people who are too stupid to vote, is that you are either too gullible to differentiate between Sarah Palin and Tina Fey or too lazy to even bother trying to.

The difficulty in answering your questions, Mo, is that they are so loaded with loathing assumptions, that it is difficult to envision an honest give and take. President Reagan embraced deficit spending, feeling it was necessary to get the economy moving again. Many conservatives disagreed with that approach, but none-the-less, lionize Reagan. President Obama has brought our economy back from the brink of disaster. He made the calculation that embracing debt was necessary at this time. You may disagree, but when you impugne motives, it makes it difficult to find any room for discussion.

And by the way, thanks for the moral support, Sarah!

Wow, Maureen, you are really bitter…

As a home schooling Mom, do you encourage your daughter to say STUF when arguing her positions?

Did you really just compare Harper to Dion? I'm sorry, but even Obama is a powerhouse of conservative wisdom compared to Dion…

Geez, try to join the debate in progress and keep up with what has been said rather than jumping in at the last moment. And no, left-tard does not represent courtesy and respect to those insufferable elitists on the left, politicians and media-entertainment figures alike, who continually spew forth out of their orifices the most vile comments and insane rants about their political opponents and the average American citizens who have the audacity to disagree with their mindless pontifications. I give people the benefit of the doubt and will act with civility towards them. Long ago way too many on the left forgot that their political opponents are their fellow citizens and not their enemies to be publicly humiliated and destroyed. And as far as using the term "tard," did you get offended when the BoyBand in Chief compared his bowling game to that of a special olympian? I doubt you did if you even heard about it.

So why so… shrill? If she's a pathetic quitter then you have nothing to worry about.

Oh wait, you have to make sure those icky people who actually like Mrs. Palin think she's a quitter and give up on her… which is probably why you're so bitter and hateful: we're not doing that.

If she was really as irrelevant as you lefties all seem to project then you wouldn't have been wasting this past year trying to completely destroy her life. Dennis Kucinich is a joke but you don't hear the right going absolutely batshit crazy over him and constantly flooding the airwaves with smear attempts.

Bingo. Reverse psychology tends to be more effective when it doesn't look so… transparently like a desperate change in tactics.

Hm. Need to go back to that Amazon review thread and "thank" all the shrill Palin-haters for convincing me to… purchase the book so I can read it for myself instead of what the review (made before the book was released) claims.

Is that really what you think? It has nothing to do with the McCain campaign, or the previous White House, or the economy or anything? Just simply because he's a half-black-guy? Interesting opinion.

Why would they do that when they can simply declare that their side is the True High Intellectual one and how DARE people question their infinitely smart views?! Why, any who do must be anti-intellectual.

It's the whole "declare a tail a leg" sort of thing.

Anyone who has ever used the term "teabagger" has earned the right to be called "left-tard" IMHO. Carry on.

You are anti-American thug. But we have to tolerate blind hate, disrespect and ignorance like yours in this country, and that what makes this country to great.

Darling I read and have been in demographic research for years. I know what I am talking about. These are not just numbers I pulled out of my arse. These stats are based on the many studies/surveys that have been done over the years.

For instance, right now in the US around 20% of the population consider themselves "liberals." Most people identify with "Moderate" or "Conservative." EVERYONE knows the US is a right of center nation. Do you even read?

It's the old bait and switch tactic that the left has turned into a fine art. Hey, at least they are good at something! Have to look on the bright side here in all fairness.

MovieBob, stick to movies. You have no credibility on any other topic on this site.

Who put us into debt? Oh, just every President since Nixon. We've been digging ourselves into more and more debt for decades. And before you get on the Clinton left with a surplus? True, but he also gave us the "most favored nation" trading status with China on a permanent basis which started much of these HUGE trade deficits we now have going that nation which has only added disprortionately to our current debt.

So, basically, debt has been the US's way of life for a long time. Obama, however, has managed to triple our national debt in less than a year–and during a recession. Nice.

No character? Please detail reasons why Palin has "no character" because, luv, we sure aren't just going to take your word for it.

[...] In a well-crafted bit of word play, failed Director John Nolte pens his finest screed for ShortsandPants’ secret lover, Big Hollywood. [...]

No, I'm sweet as sugar. Just like your little Sarah.

If you want people to read your post, never start out with "I voted for Obama".

No offense taken, luckily I was on my meds. I would also like to apologize to you for my offensive comments.

The best Canadians have moved to America. The rest make maple syrup. Ok let me have it. I can take it.

Just wanted to get the worst part over with.

I'm wondering if the Liberals and NDP will ever realize their constant whining, complaining, and faked outrage over anything and everything Stephen Harper does is actually harming their own parties. Especially now with Ignatieff; every week he harps on about some new ridiculous thing and every week his approval ratings drop.
