Sarah Palin Reads Answers off of Her Hand. What a shame!

[StateofTrance]

YouTube - Sarah Palin READS CHEAT NOTES on her HAND (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtcVMTZkTZQ&)

LOL

There you go...The neo-con queen of Tea Party.

[Kotin]

what a joke this woman is.. and a complete moron to boot.

[Dojo]

OMG.............. The neo-con mules nave hitched their asses to the tea party wagon, their motive is to define it and destroy it. The money they made will be used to further dilute the the liberty movement with Neocon meesages, I here by declare war on the TeaO-cons

im sorry but this woman is a complete buffoon

We have to label them and point them out..!!!!

From now on......... TeaO-cons

[0zzy]

Maybe she needs a teleprompter.

in all seriousness, I have no idea why I ever liked her (pre-McCain, when all I had to read was her "record" and never really seen her speak)

Closer inspection of a photo of Sarah Palin, during a speech in which she mocked President Obama for his use of a teleprompter, reveals several notes written on her left hand. The words "Energy", "Tax" and "Lift American Spirits" are clearly visible.

Huffpost sniffed it out no surprise

[Romulus]

The other words are 'budget cuts' and 'tax'.

What a bafoooon! LOL holy crap.

Route out the TEOCONS!!

Not a Palin fan at all, but i wouldn't blame you. Someone's record is more important than how they speak. Obama is clearly the opposite and look what we got.


Its funny that she made fun of Obama for having to use a teleprompter and instead just used her hand. And does that mean she knew ahead of time what the questions were?

That convention was a bust.

and "budget cut." which is marked out?

and really? you can't remember those four words? this isn't some hard math test. its three words that are supposed to be your "platform" and you can't even remember them??

I felt the need to post this.

And why were we so gaga over a Palin endorsement again? Oh yeah. It will bring stupid mindless voters to our cause that we'll have to pander to even though we were already winning without the endorsement. My bad. :rolleyes:

My thoughts on Sarah Palin?

Goddammit!

Bitch, you ever heard of a note card?!?!? I mean, you have a podium. What the hell is wrong with you?

This is some 5th grade type shit.

[pacelli]

So proud of Rand's latest endorsement. Hey, at least she gave him 5 grand.

[Baptist]

It is embarrassing that so many people find this woman smart or intelligent. It is so embarrassing that my neighbors look to this person as a leader.


Any leader or mover n' shaker in the liberty movement, as well as most of us who frequent these forums, would STRUGGLE to keep an answer short to ANY question because there is so much liberty crammed into our minds our heads are about to explode. We would struggle to keep an answer short, and this woman has to cheat to be able to answer one of the simplest of questions.

Sad.

[awake]

Well, that about sums her up.

[zach]

lol, her image gets better and better

[MRoCkEd]

I am surprised and impressed that she knows how to read!

[RCA]

Facebooked.

[ShowMeLiberty]

What "answers" exactly, does she have on her hand? Looks more like a list of high-level subject areas to me - things she wants to remember to say something about.

I'm no fan of Palin, she's a neocon and I can't support her, but come on - you guys are being really petty here making a mountain out of a molehill. Surely, you can find things that actually matter to put your energy into.

Palin showing up at tea parties threatens the movement in at least 2 ways. 1) She's in favor of big, oppressive DC government and that is mutually exclusive to the tea party premise. 2) She's a highly negative symbol for most Americans. Associating her with tea parties could kill the movement, or at least make it stop growing. The liberty movement needs to expand its base beyond libertarian conservatives (of which Paliln of course is not) if it is going to be ultimately successful.

Reading from her hand is less troubling than her "DC needs a commander in chief" rhetoric. She's a statist, internationalist war monger.

[sofia]

OMG!!!!

This is worse than I thought!!!!!

I knew she was a dumb ass...but I thought by now she'd have at least memorized her talking points!!!!!

No argument there - I agree. All I'm saying is if you're going to criticize and call her out, at least do it with something substantial. Not this trivial "notes on her hand" thing.

For example, James Ostrowski on the LRC blog has a couple of good posts with substantive criticism of Palin at the Tea Party convention:

Palin’s Speech (http://www.lewrockwell.com/blog/lewrw/archives/49807.html)

Not to beat a dead horse (Palin) (http://www.lewrockwell.com/blog/lewrw/archives/49835.html)

See the difference?

Go ahead and make a big deal out of the notes on her hand then. See how far it gets you. See if it makes even one Palin supporter decide, "gee, you're right - she really IS stupid...these little notes are absolute proof!" :rolleyes:

Forget the Palin-bots. You cannot reach them ...period.

I've already showed the palm video to two people who aren't really political animals like me....but do vote Republican.

....both shook their heads in disbelief and laughed at her.

Uh she probably done it on purpose for attention. It seems like this is getting more and more rapidly liberal then libertarian.

Attack her on positions not on her charachter. Attacking charachter makes it easy for any other neocon to replace her.

Define your terms.

Are these "Teo-Cons" the willfully ignorant? The ones looking for a political identity by visiting these Tea Parties? The Elites?

A TeaO-con is a neocon dressed up like a liberty loving American that attends Tea party rallys. One of The biggest differences is that they don't think the foreign policy is a problem. They pump up the fear factor, like there is no waste or fraud involved in these undeclared unjust wars, and support more war. They focus on domestic spending only to justify their claims of being "conservative"

[Austrian Econ Disciple]

And what does that have to do with LF? Why can't we attack Palin on her character? Why is her intelligence off-limits? The woman is a certifiable incompetent Neo-Con with the IQ of the average High Schooler. How many occurences do people need to reinforce this position?

I don't want any of the liberty-candidates to have anything to do with any Neo-Con and I have voiced this over and over. Our Founders should have ostracized Alexander Hamilton and his ilk, but no.....looks like a repeat of history, but some others on this site want to "woo" the Neo-Cons. So, I don't know what world you live in where LF is turning in a Liberal Statist direction..

Actually, the Teo-Cons dont even care about domestic spending either. They just mouth empty rhetoric about "reining in spending" but NEVER define their spending cuts (other than puny "earmarks"...

so neo-cons are liberal on domestic spending, and warmongering fanatics on the foreign policy side...

remember, the original neo-cons were ex-Trotsyites who "converted" to Reaganism in order to hijack real conservatism.

Because it is expected when you grow a movement that people who were previously opposed to us will bring in some of the old baggage with them.

However my original point is that we are getting trolled.

If she had some crazy, long words written on her hand, maybe I'd be more forgiving. But TAX? Are you fucking serious? That's 50%, if not more, of your platform.

[silverhandorder]

What do you think a libertarian platform is? There is umpteen sources everywhere on this site. Besides, we are on a site of generally like-minded folks so who do we need to write thesis' on the efficacy of the market and of Natural Law to? I don't even go on Hannity or HotAir/MM because its a waste of time. I'd rather spend my energy convincing and converting people in person.

[Austrian Econ Disciple]

Attacking her intelligence is emotional? Why is her intelligence off-limits? Don't we want someone in the Oval Office who understands philosophy, geography, and liberty? Don't we want a Thomas Jefferson who reads 14 hours a day, over an incompetent Statist? Don't we want an uncompromising Ludwig von Mises, over an intellectually challenged malfeasance who increased her State Budget? Don't we want a libertarian instead of Bush Version III (Obama is version II)?

All this leads back to intelligence. She couldn't even name her favorite Founding Father for god's sake!

I do not think she is any dumber then Bush, Obama and Clinton. Again this is a Ron Paul forum in support of Ron Paul why you feel threatened here by Palin is beyond me.

Every single time some one brings her up in good light she gets trashed, I hardly think attacking her on this forum is a priority.

If you were interviewing someone for a top level, intellectually demanding job that requires people to think on their feet.... and you asked them to tell you a little bit about their previous experience....and they start reading off of their palm...

would you seriously want to hire such a person?

Sarah is a pathetic joke and an ego driven narcissist to boot. She is so self centered that she doesnt even realize how dumb she is....she could at least acknowledge that she is clueless and go back to being Mayor of Wasilla....

or better yet, focus on being a better mom to her drug using, boozing, and promiscous kids...

Yes, pull that string and hear the same rhetoric of George W. Bush. Neocons can easily manipulate those with lesser intelligence; Sarah Palin is another simple-minded dope being used to sing the same tune. And really, what's greater than murdering more brown people in the Middle East?

Republicans are generally imbecilic, like the average American, they're easily impressed by shiny and pretty things; if Sarah Palin looked like Madelaine Albright, she'd be in Alaskan obscurity drawing in coloring books and not her hand, and not giving a keynote speech to a bunch cheering, fellow idiots.

Blah blah "liberals" blah blah "mainstream media" blah blah "Democrats" yada yada.

Listen: I'm not aware of any prominent liberals trying to co-opt a libertarian, or even semi-libertarian movement, while actually being a neo-con puppet. There wouldn't be as many Sarah Palin threads on here if there weren't actually Sarah Palin fans who continually insist that she wants what Ron Paul wants, or even something remotely akin to it.

She is a (less than) 1 term governor, supporter of bailouts and John McCain, friend of Bill Kristol, moron. To criticize her is not to defend liberalism. However, to defend her IS a middle finger to libertarianism.

Instead of whining how she is treated here, just go to the Free Republic and join other Palin sycophants.

There is nothing wrong with normal people from different walks of life talking leadership roles in our representative government . However, Beck even admitted that Palin isn't ready to be president. She clearly does not have the depth of intelligence at this point. She has limited understanding of the constitution and the framers. She associates herself with questionable characters.

[tonyTheBest]

Oh gawd. The folks over at HotAir and Hannity are coming! Hey Tony, if you really want to learn about how we got into this mess head on over to www.mises.org, or read you know, Thomas Woods Meltdown book, but I doubt any Neo-Con is going to read libertarian literature.

Austrian Econ, I know how we got into this mess. I started from Woodrow Wilson, Nixon, Clinton...
My previous post was to show that high educated presidents do not always give America its best interests.

I thought that was the easiest sarcasm on the internet to spot. Guess not :D

Considering I've seen this point pop up a few times, it's actually not sarcasm. There are lunatics who believe this.

Did you read the post? It screamed sarcasm, hence, the easiest bit.

[sofia]

I think this forums is hijacked by the the liberals and I said it all along.

let me get this straight...

opposition to that Kristol controlled, low IQ, narcistic, war mongering, neo-con fake from Alaska makes me a "liberal???"

have you ever stopped to think that this whole left-right thing is just a show?...like professional wrestling?....

thinking people understand that Palin and Obama are just two different wings of the same predatory vulture..

the R's and the D's are just competing crime families who both support big government and murdering brown people for the sake of Israel and the New World Order

It's the 4th time I've seen it in 2 weeks. We have some fools who believe this. I corrected another boob with the same point. To somehow infer that the Iraqi and Afghanistan campaign is more justified because Arabs have more melanin in their skin is preposterous.

Yep, another one who has no problem with the coercive violence of government, just pissy that 'his' candidate isn't in office, and the violence isn't being used to meet 'his' ends.

You can put lipstick on a neo-con, it's still a neo-con.

If you spent any amount of time on the forum you would know the feeling on this board toward the Establishment and Central Planners. We cherish philosophy, and generally you do not find this amount of knowledge in the average American. Hence, we usually look up to higher educational figures like those in the LvMI, Libertarian Professors, and libertarian leaders like the Tannehills, Ron Paul, Patrick Henry, T. Jefferson, Mary Ruwart, Harry Browne, et. al.

Obviously if we fawned over such elitists at Ivy Leagues we would surely hate our very own Gunny? Right? Come on.

To claim that it plays no role is preposterous. The color of their skin and the extremists of their religion have been painted in a tone to strike fear in simple minded white Christians. And it's worked. Do you think the flag waving war bunch would be responding the same if the fight were against a white Christian population? Perhaps it is you who is the boob.

Of course. This political game is a dead-end. History has taught us that change only comes at the barrell of a gun. Amoral entities will never acquiesce and surrender their hold of power voluntarily.

Hence why the Free State Project is so important. We can get a majority libertarian sentiment and movement there. When SHTF and it comes time to rebuild, would you rather be in the Neo-Con south, the Socialist NW/NE, or the relatively libertarian NH or MT?

It has access to waterways/ocean, plentiful resources, and a loud vociferous voice for liberty. It also has quite a lot of armed people and being right next to VT helps in that department. :p

good point...


we also deliberately burned 200,000 - 300,000 German women and children alive in one night of firebombing at Dresden...anniversary is this week...

war was just weeks away from ending...totally senseless slaughter

Incinerated 40,000 more at Stuttgart.

The first wave of allied bombers busted up the rooftops with conventional bombs....then followed by endless sorties dropping fire bombs....The firestorm kicked up 100 mph winds....women and kids broiled alive in their basements.

Renaissance era churches and ancient artifacts destroyed.

May FDR and Churchill rot in hell.

That is not nearly as bad as the Firebombing against the Japanese (many of their cities were all wood), and as you know the two Nuclear detonations.

[Flash]

And wasn't it revealed later that the Japanese were secretly trying to negotiate an end to the war or something like that, yet we stilled bombed them?

[__27__]

Is this your attempt at a red herring? Have you had your eyes closed the past 9 years? The flag waving war crowd has made it very clear that their enemy is 'Arabs' and 'Islamic Fundamentalists'. It is why they want brown people shook down at the airport, it is why they let fly slurs every time a brown man looks suspicious, and it is what is fueling this war of occupation. Tell me it isn't. Describe to me how Billy Joe Bob McHillbilly sees this war in any other way than killing brown Islamics in the name of 'freedom'.

[anaconda]

In all seriousness, this could be very damaging to her, politically. I am going to google search for news references today.

I have been one of the Forum members in the minority that has tried very hard to be open-minded about her and hopeful that she could help in the liberty movement.

But this is the last straw for me. It really confirms all of my fears about her.

[anaconda]

Doesn't look like any of the msm are touching it. At least yet. I'll bet it goes national and prime time within 48 hours.

[RM918]

So long as Sarah is for the military-industrial complex, there's no amount of domestic government shrinking she could possibly do that'll make her be small-government.

[awake]

This notion that democracy could work just as long as you have the 'right' people in power is a lost thought.

With all due respect to the liberty candidates, they are literally a few lone voices of reason in a ravenous mob. If they manage to get the mob to listen then so be it. But, the calls of the masses are getting louder and louder, they want what they believe they are owed; very shortsighted and foolish people have promised them things that can not possibly be fulfilled. When they realize the fraud, on such a massive scale as it is, there is no way to predict the boundless rage and its outcomes. One of the worst men of our age was put there by a democratic election to finally put an end to the countless destructive interventions of the previous leaders...and to save the people from the consequences of believing in the false security of lairs and thiefs.

[qh4dotcom]

You know I am starting to regret that Obama beat Palin...the rest of the world needs to stop propping up our economy and buying government debt...with a stupid commander in chief, that would be more likely...the teleprompter doesn't talk stupid...and I'd get a lot of laughs every time she spoke and screwed up.

I've said for some time that Sarah Palin is dumb as a box of rocks. However, she does have BFTs.

Too bad she didn't go into a career more fitted to her skills and abilities, like stripping.

Can you imagine- she'd have to write crib notes on her hand "Hello Sailor. Lap Dances $10."

Closer inspection of a photo of Sarah Palin, during a speech in which she mocked President Obama for his use of a teleprompter, reveals several notes written on her left hand. The words "Energy", "Tax" and "Lift American Spirits" are clearly visible.

Huffpost sniffed it out no surprise

There is something wrong with her. Honestly to me, she looks drunk or drugged out half the time. She cannot form a coherent sentence.

I watched a couple of clips today of her with Beck and O'Reilly. She truly is a moron. I'm not saying that because I dislike her, which I do, but I really can't wrap my head around the fact that she held any type office.

[Liberty Star]

As an inspired Obama believer, I have to admit that looking at a teleprompter while giving a speech is tad bit less embarassing than consulting with one's palm when answering a simple question on stage LOL There is qualititative diff between looking at notes to deliver a speech vs looking at armpits to answer a question. She's one hairy politician.

[Southron]

We should continue bashing Palin.

What we need are more genius benevolent overlords like Obama and Pelosi.

What effect is Sarah Palin going to have over your life? None.
