Defending her role as a Tea Party Profiteer, Sarah Palin said she would continue to participate in the scandal-plagued Tea Party Convention a for-profit venture demanding a $550 ticket price and featuring a Madison Avenue fashion firm selling tea party jewelry this weekend. Palin said her $120,000 payment for speaking at the convention will "go right back to the cause." But just as she promised not to profit off her appearance this weekend, she announced her participation in another Republican tea party scam

Why can't you just leave the poor woman alone? She ran for Vice President, abandoned the Alaska governorship, allowed her name to be put on Lynn Vincent's Rogue -- when, oh when, will the coloring book version be available at Wal-Mart? -- made talk show rounds, never met a studio light she didn't like (or a headlight that made her blink), is viewed by many of us as the putative GOP presidential nominee in 2012 -- and yet you lib-, commie-, bolshe-scum continue to write stories about her venality and vacuosity. Why? Can't you just give the poor woman the privacy she so obviously craves?

Doc,

Palin has likeable qualities - but what the fuck is up with the names she has chosen for her kids???

Track
Bristol
Piper
Trig
Fark
Retard
Etc.

That is some seriously f-ed up crap!

No kidding, Jeff. I would've gone with something more conventional. Perhaps bless them with such monikers as Bozo, Beowulf, Gandolf, Flopsy, Mopsy, Topsy, Cottontail, and Quasimodo.

I sure do hope she makes a post on her facebook page about Rush Limbaugh getting shit canned like she did when Rahm used the word retard in a sentence.

The Tea Partiers should join a real party that has been around since 1971, no shady characters, no for profit conventions (not paid by the taxpayers either like the major party conventions) and the same ideals of limited government. Why settle for immitations when you can join the Libertarian Party? Immitation is the sincerest form of flattery, sure, but it doesn't get you anywhere. While the Tea Party is crumbling before our very eyes, the LP has a structure in all 50 states. They may not get much in the way of electoral success, but make no mistake, they are influential, more than their detractors want to admit.

The Tea Party is not my cup of tea and if you are a limited government type, it shouldn't be your cup of tea either. Join a real party. Accept no substitutes.

Jesus, Doc.

As goofy as your alternates sound they seem more "normal" than what her kids were 'blessed' with.

"I sure do hope she makes a post on her facebook page about Rush Limbaugh getting shit canned like she did when Rahm used the word retard in a sentence."

When that Rahm Emanuel says the "r"-word he says it with hate. But when Rush coos the "r"-word he says it with love.
~Sistah Sarah

Rush ws repeating with Rahm said. Also Rush made the point that even thought Rahm apologized to people with mental disabilities and their advocates, he didn't apologize to Democrrats yet.

I guess Rahm believes he was wrong in how he said it, but not wrong about what he said, that Dems are mentally handicapped.

Sarah Palin like every other politician out ther is all about one thing.... Sarah Palin.

You teabaggers might get a tingle down your leg when she is talking to you, but it is her hand in your pocket taking your wallet.

Rush ws repeating with Rahm said.

Because he would never dare make fun of someone with an illness or disability, say, like parkinsons.

I don't remember Rush makign fun of people with parkinson's. You Liberals purposefully take things out of context or outright lie when it comes to Limbaugh. Another example is the "black quarterbarks incidents." Rush was criticizing the media, not black quarterbacks. But of course the media won't admit they drop the ball so naturally they call him a racist.

I don't remember Rush makign fun of people with parkinson's

Do a google of how he mocked Michael J Fox. There is even video. No out of context possibilities.

I'll try to find the audio....

www.gather.com

Surprisingly, Rush Limbaugh came to Emanuel's defense, sort of, and took at shot at "our political correct society" for "acting like some giant insult's taken place by calling a bunch of people who are retards, retards." Well, okay Rush....that was some endorsement.

thinkprogress.org

LIMBAUGH: Our political correct society is acting like some giant insult's taken place by calling a bunch of people who are retards, retards. I mean these people, these liberal activists are kooks. They are looney tunes. And I'm not going to apologize for it, I'm just quoting Emanuel. It's in the news. I think their big news is he's out there calling Obama's number one supporters f'ing retards. So now there's going to be a meeting. There's going to be a retard summit at the White House. Much like the beer summit between Obama and Gates and that cop in Cambridge.

Only if using the word "schnitzel" is the same as repeating what Hitler said. Here's what the peddler of hate said:

This will either refresh your memory or provide you with some perspective on the matter: www.youtube.com

"...by calling a bunch of people who are retards, retards."

Where's the outrage from Sistah Sarah?

1. The quote speaks for itself.

2. I saw the video and all I saw was Rush moving around and saying that Fox didn't take his meds. I didn't see him making fun of anyone. It's one thing to make fun, it's another thing to claim someone is not taking their meds and showing how they were shaking around in the commercial.

Reading conprehiension is important. Limbaugh refers to Liberal activists who are kooks saying that Emanual called them retards. You Libs don't want to acknowleged that Rahm called Dems retards. He only apologized for how he said it, not for saying it. Deal with it.

"I didn't see him making fun of anyone."

A lot of others did, and Claire McCaskill (D-MO) credits that boneheadedness to the fact she got a lot of last-minute cash and mounted an ad surge to squeak out the victory. Rush and Senator Macaca ended up giving the Senate to the Dems.

Heck of a job, Rushie.

"Reading conprehiension is important."

Ya gotta love it!

Reading conprehiension is important.

What a fucking retard. LOL

How many different names have we already been through for retarded people in the last 100 years or so now it's the dreaded R WORD...

Their are only two groups that have to switch everything around every few years to be politically correct Black people and retarted people...

Outdated names...

Negro
African American
Afro American
Blacks
Colered People
People of Color
ect ect

Duval
Retard
Metally handicapped
Mentally Challenged
Gifted
ect ect

Good God will both groups pick a term or name and stick with it...

Yeah, you gotta love it when Liberal are more outraged at Rush than at Rahm who calls them mentally disabled.

You Libs don't want to acknowleged that Rahm called Dems retards.

Are you farktarded?

Rahm was totally correct to call hard left Dems who spend their coin on attack ads against Blue Dog Dems as farking retards.

He shouldn't have sed it anywhere he was likely to be quoted, of course, but that doesn't mean wot he sed wasn't true.

Now will you acknowledge Scary Failin as being a farktarded hypocrite fer calling fer Rahm's resignation while ignoring the fact that Rush sLimeball did the same exact thing (sans apology)?

Particularly in light of her "Where's my retarded baby" quote.

Scary Failin is a greedy, grasping, manipulative, hypocritical, half-witted attention whore with less morals than an alley cat in heat.

Deal with it.

Be Well.

Words that should offend me...

Whitey The W word
Honkey The H word
Redneck The R word
Cracker The C word

Oh yeah and I forgot IMBICILE was once an acceptible term for the dreaded RWORD...

1. The quote speaks for itself.

Where's that "Non Sequitur" flag when you really need it?

Here's a suggestion: "people".
Short, descriptive, and I'm willing to bet that no one will find it offensive.
Just a thought.

Personally, I prefer the more grammatically correct "peeps."

Well Doc now you have done it! You forgot to capitalize "peeps" I am sure their is a group somewhere who will be outraged by this callus lack of respect...

Doc, you do better with "Paul Krugman" posts.

Here, try this one:

"Krugman misleads about Filibusters"
"Krugman casually jumps over the period between 1980s and 2006. Krugman is the most dishonest economist I know; whenever he omits a fact one can be pretty sure he is deceiving his readers."
"The political scientist Barbra Sinclar "did the math", the habitual liar Paul Krugman chose to disregard the parts that did not suit his story."
super-economy.blogspot.com

More here:

" LIAR! "
"Senate Republicans, he said, have employed the filibuster more over the past year than in all of the 1950s and 1960s combined. The GOP's strategy has been "twenty years of obstruction packed into one," he said."
"The fact is there has not been one single filibuster in 2009 by the Republicans or anybody else for that matter, rather there has been the threat of a filibuster."
jammiewearingfool.blogspot.com

Thanks, Ataxpayer, I'm sure you've saved me a lot of unnecessary grief. (If you could help out with some of the necessary grief that, too, would be appreciated.) See, I thought "peeps" was the generic form and "Peeps" was only to be used when referring to such items as Peeps Magazine and China's Peeps's Daily newspaper. Well, as they say, live and learn.

Doesn't know the difference between someone selling advertising and someone making US policy.

Limbaugh appears to have considerable weight when it comes to dictating GOP pseudo-policy, hence his status as a legitimate target. I don't believe anyone here, other than you, thinks people mistake his role for that of the President's chief of staff. And that's only because you needed a strawman to advance your non-argument "argument." Such a tool, kiddo.

Anyway, back to Sistah Sarah. What do you riiighties think of her latest scam?

"I don't believe anyone here, other than you, thinks people mistake his role for that of the President's chief of staff"

So, why would they venture to make the comparison in order to justify Rahmbo's comments? The arguement that Rush agrees with Rahmbo therefore Rahmbo's comments are non-offensive and prudent would be a pretty stupid "mommy, johnny said it was ok" arguement we've seen in a while.

Two wrongs don't make a right, but three lefts might...

Emmanuel's use of the term was offensive. So was Limbaugh's. (And Lee Atwater's and George H.W. Bush's as well.) Palin condemned Emmanuel, but somehow can't quite get around to doing so when Limbaugh uses the same term. And he didn't use it just quoting Emmanuel. The full Limbaugh quote's been reproduced here (I believe more than once), so here's a relevant excerpt:

"Our political correct society is acting like some giant insult's taken place by calling a bunch of people who are retards, retards....So now there's going to be a meeting. There's going to be a retard summit at the White House."

#36 | Posted by midtowncowboy at

I hear she calls into his show twice per week, they are friends, or at least friendly towards one another. Rahm on the other hand, not so much. You're right, there is no comparison, she should be way more pissed off at Rush for the way he talks about retards.

Retard
Metally handicapped
Mentally Challenged
Gifted
ect ect

Good God will both groups pick a term or name and stick with it...

#23 | Posted by Ataxpayer at 2010-02-04 10:16 AM |

Has reached such a profound state of over-generalization that gifted and retarded are equivalent.

"Look what's going on in France, where that psychological abuse -- those words spoken that aren't politically correct and accepted in that country will be allowed. They'll be deemed illegal. Now some who want us to turn into a country like that scare the heck out of me. And unfortunately some of those people are leading our country today."
--Sarah Palin
www.sodahead.com

"Our president is doing himself a disservice by seeming to condone Rahm's recent sick and offensive tactic."
-- Sarah Palin

One day she's scared of the word police, the next day she IS the word police. Does SARAH! have any fucking idea what she believes in???

Don't you understand Rush is not employed by the US government. Rahm is the chief of staff for the president.

As hard as it may be, try to remove the hate from your brain and see if you can see the difference between the two jobs these men have.

#48 | Posted by midtowncowboy at

Hate? Why is it that you people feel you can assign the feelings I and others here have towards someone? I don't hate Rush Limbaugh, I don't fear SARAH! I pity them both and wouldn't give a bucket of piss to wake up in either of their shoes, but I don't hate or fear either of them.

There's going to be a retard summit at the White House.

That was last weekend when the GOP had its embarrassing little "Caucus".

hahaah. Who was the guest of honor. You idiot.

I certainly don't support the TPE and other neo-con hijacked movements or Palin, per se. But the question has to be asked of statist, brainless pro-establishment types like Doc.

Why would you flippently use terminology "scam" for your political enemies when you ignore real bi-partisan scam of re-nominating ultimate scam artists like Bernanke and apparently would have Geitner get a free pass in his role of back-door profiteering of trillions to GS and other offshore banking interests?

Check with the folks who used the term at Think Progress and see what they have to say. I agree with its use because in my opinion Palin's make-up consists of something on the order of around 85-90% grifter genes.

You want to talk about Bernanke, start a thread. This thread's about Palin.

Ok, Doc, then YOU ask them about the pettiness of using 'scam' terminology. As if OFA doesn't register on a monumental scale on campaign funding. I have about as much interest in speaking to the brainless Soros think-tanks as the neo-con think-tanks, each having their own grand scams i.e. OFA/Acorn; Environmental/Green, Military-Industrial Complex, Big Pharma/FDA, Big Oil, Monsanto/Agra-business, SEC/FTC/GS/JPM, etc.

#46 | Posted by grumpy_too

Grumpy_too I know it is unbelievable but their was an effort a few years back to change the term "Retarded" to "Gifted" in the same way we were all supposed to say "Challenged", this Politically correct bullshit is just a feel good way for some to rename people who are retarded to another term that sounds better every few years...

According to FoxNews, there will be a national Tea Party convention in Nashville. It will be a parade of Republican statists with former Alaskan governor Sarah Palin leading the charge. "This movement is truly a grassroots, organic effort. It's not a top-down organization. It's a ground-up call to action that already has both political parties rethinking the way they do business." :USA Today

Ground-up? If the co-opted Tea Party embraces the RNC platform, it will finalize its mutation from a grassroots organization into an establishment statist tool pushing a national debt for the banksters, bloated government, taxation, perpetual war, and continued attacks on the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

If Republicans run Sarah Palin against Obama in 2012 and win, this would be a disaster because many Americans are not fooled by her sudden Tea Party plumage. Republicans are desperate to regain control of the White House and Congress and give us more Bush and his warmongering statist neocons. It is a shabby and absurdly transparent gimmick.

Real Tea Party activists and supporters need to reject Palin, Huckabee, Gingrich, and the Republicans out of hand. They should be vocal about their rejection.

#56 | Posted by L_RContrarian at 2010-02-05 01:34 PM

Meanwhile Obama and Nancy continue their KOOL AID party for the mindless sheep who have not noticed they were lied to...

Show me the Transparency in holding all the closed door meetings on health care, is this what liberals call change? What a bunch of sheep...

Talk about Teabagger profiteers...

"Defending 'Tea Party Profiteers,' [GOPiggie strategerist Eric] Odom Tells Activists We Should Reward Them With Our Pocketbooks'"
thinkprogress.org

Republican strategist Eric Odom defended his tea party business strategy... [and Tea Party Profiteers] - Republican consultants, political operatives, and others trying to take advantage of the tea party movement to make a profit and advance a special-interest agenda....

"[We] as "free market" activists should applaud their work in writing these books and we should reward them with our pocket books, not balk at them for doing so."

From the same piece:

Odom and his fellow profiteers are trying to pull off an elaborate scam. They posture as independents and activists, but they are truly Republican hacks, working largely for big business special interests. Instead of protesting the hegemony of an international corporation as the original Boston tea party did against the London-based East India Company they are helping to continue a Bush-era society where corporations like Goldman Sachs have unbridled power.

For instance, former Republican Majority Leader Dick Armey (R-TX), another self-proclaimed tea party leader, rails against the Wall Street bailout and efforts to rebuild the foundations of the economy, even though his own lobbying firm represented AIG, Lehman Brothers, and Merrill Lynch during the bailouts. Armey, who is still paid a lobbyist salary of at least $550,00 a year, told the New York Times that although he does not believe in "death panels" or other "exaggerations," he encourages others to spread falsehoods to advance his agenda. Armey's willful lying is instructive for understanding the profiteers: in the most condescending way, they are exploiting the tea party movement to line their own pockets.

So many fake Populists, so little time....eh, Doc?

Here's a real Populist, for anyone interested.

www.jimhightower.com

Last summer it was hilarious down here in posh Naples to see people going to Tea Party events in their Cadillac SUV's, and handing out flyers with their Rolex adorned wrists.

Talk about "revolting", lol.....

The Tea Party movement has been co-opted and I would like to thank the media for that. By allowing the Sarah Palin and Dick Armey and pretty much any other Republican to call themselves "leaders" of the tea party movement and reinforcing it through the saturation of the air waves they have removed any doubt that the "tea party" is just the Republican party.

Sucks I was one of the grassroots people that got it going through a lot of time and hard work. Now I'm just another disillusioned sucker.
