Palin Supporters

[Deadbolt23]

I did a quick search and couldn't find a thread about this, but if there is one already, my bad.

Views?

I can't believe these people think Palin has a chance to win in 2012.
she'll win when hell freezes over.

[Jake Denning]

I'm pretty far-right, but you couldn't pay me to vote for Palin. If she somehow got the ticket in 2012, I wouldnt vote.

[Clark]

Pretty well done video. Thanks for posting it, I hadn't seen it before.

It had to take the interviewer a ton of patience and self restraint to get through that without arguing at all.

Not surprised at all by how little her supporters shown in the video know. (Considering she herself knows next to nothing.)

You've got to love those border issues Alaska has with Russia.

[abcdefghijake]

The Steelers fan, lol.

[unionx]

I want her to run, I truly do. That way Obama will clear every state in the Union.

[Helpless]

Wait, the whole Palin thing isn't a practical joke?

[fightinirish217]

Same. Nice lady, but please don't run for President. The GOP is in shambles as it is.

[And Hours Pass]

I have no problem in the world with Republicans. I have a problem with Palin.

Republicans - simply have a different viewpoint than I do. Palin - makes me want to look for the incompetent carne that is making her mouth move up and down to say stupid things.

I am right there with you.

Same. Zombie Reagan is gonna get a lot of write in votes.

[drawndead]

i'm very far right conservative and voted mccain/palin and i like her but i couldn't vote for her on a ticket again. GOP will win 2012

[drawndead]

Same. Nice lady, but please don't run for President. The GOP is in shambles as it is.

the next thing we need is a huckabee/palin ticket :(

Not saying I in anyway support Palin, but a video could easily be made making Palin supporters coherent and intelligent. If you get enough footage, it's easy to make anyone's supporters seem completely unaware and uninformed. Once again, I do not in anyway agree with or support Sarah Palin, but this video obviously biased. Oh, and it was posted by NewLeftMedia hahaha.

i believe howard stern did that with the election last year. he switched obama's policies with mccain's and people liked them but were voting for obama. i'll find the clip and post it

This just shows how unaware and uninformed on both sides of the dial

I know what you're getting at, but have to disagree because this is Sarah Palin we're discussing. If you have any common sense at all (which would be necessary to make an intelligent video) you wouldn't be supporting her.

Disagree with what?

This video intends to show that Palin's supporters are stupid. The same could be said about Obama's supporters (as was proven above). Who the candidate is becomes irrelevant since this is a commentary on the ineptitude of the american public.

That's a ridiculous statement. Of course her supporters could be shown in an intelligent light. You're foolish (and ignorant) if you believe they couldn't.

[saysmydoctor]

Populism goes both ways.

[MyNameIsRoss]

I thought thread was for palin supporters, so i came here for the luls. was disappointed.

[bladerdude360]

"I think that she would acknowledge a system of government in the United States rather than focus of administration of czars."
"And what are some of your problem with czars?"
"I'm an American. We don't have czars in America."

Holy shit there are some dumb people here. Obviously this is biased, but this is fucking ridiculous.

[Un'Aria Ancora]

I was being (partly) facetious. I like how you changed your defense completely though.
She's an ass kisser full of rhetoric who plays to "joe 6 pack". If she can't be shown in an intelligent light, how could her supporters?

[Deadbolt23]

We're obviously on different pages. But yours is the only one that matters, my sincere apologies for that.

You sound like Palin.

You sound like someone with zero knowledge of politics.

Hahahahahaha. "Compromises are for people who are wrong!"

Also, I'd like to say on behalf of all Ohioians, I apologize these people exist.

[etheritcher]

As a conservative and the daughter of a Palin 2012 supporter, I am so embarrassed. She might be a nice lady and lord knows she's adorable especially under pressure, but the woman doesn't have enough knowledge to run the country.

[jwicklun]

what are her positions? what does Palin believe in besides going against the elitist, um... colleges of America? Someone explain.

[Sic Transit Zeb]

the girl at 2 mins could get it but god damn would I hate to talk to her.

It's great that when O'Reilly asked her if she thinks she's smart enough to run the country she said, "Yeah. I have common sense."

Oh good.

I think the supporters themselves could be shown in an intelligent light, however, there is no way that their support for her itself could be shown in an intelligent light. It's the same way I feel about people who think global warming is a lie.

Or who think abstinence-only education is the best way to go.
Or who think foreign policy experience is equal to one's proximity to Russia.
Or who think soccer moms have just what national governance is missing.

What exactly is the point of a thread in a political discussion forum if there's no posters with opposing views?

[J.C.]

I can't say I've ever actually encountered a real live Palin supporter. I don't live in Real America though.

Unadulterated self-love, ego-building, et cetera. It's about as productive as your everyday "Brokencyde sucks" thread.

[arizonahotrock]

These people are all just spitting the same "nothing" that Palin spouts. It's all buzzwords and catchphrases that say absolutely nothing.

Also, the Steelers guy makes me not want to support the Steelers anymore...

Wow, someone got clever with the spoiler box.
Everyone views things differently dude, no reason to call people ignorant, you sound like Michael Jackson.
I see it this way, if your level of intelligence/common sense is higher than Palin's at all, you'll see right through her and won't support her. Her supporters must have even less than she does.

[Un'Aria Ancora]

Holy fucking shit...I thought that was a joke this whole time. I even have a friend that told me a poll was taken about this because there was a huge misconception about who said it. I had no idea.

[xshady121]

taken out of context.

she never said "my proximity to russia gives me foreign policy experience".

she was asked to explain her previous statement.

katie couric pressed her, and palin took the bait.

not nearly as bad as people believe.


edit: added the original quote for context below. the couric interview referenced only makes proper sense when given the proper context.

[xshady121]

Holy fucking shit...I thought that was a joke this whole time. I even have a friend that told me a poll was taken about this because there was a huge misconception about who said it. I had no idea.

Yeah. Who said "I can see russia from my house" and that is a basis for "foreign policy experience". That was fey and not palin. And palin didn't say anything close to that.

Take everything geebee says with a grain of salt.

Palin's dumb, and it's not hard to make her look dumb, but you can call her out on things she actually did. It's not hard to find something to laugh at. Unfortunately, the russia thing isn't one of them.

[xshady121]

Her original quote


PALIN: We’ve gotta keep an eye on Russia. … You can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska.
GIBSON: What insight does that give you into what they’re doing inside Georgia?
PALIN: Well, I’m giving you that perspective of how small our world is and how important it is that we work with our allies to keep good relations with all of these countries, especially Russia.

There is nothing wrong with that quote.

In the couric interview, couric tries to make something out of nothing. When you read the transcript with that context (the quote they are referencing) her statements don't seem too bizzare. Couric tries to get her to say something stupid (like the Tina Fey quote) and she does a good job. Palin is just trying to convey how close they are and how important positive relations should be. She failed at doing that, but not to the extent people would like you to believe.

[rawesome]

I don't know, that clip was pretty stupid and it sounded like what she meant.

Fuck, I don't really know though, because I never actually watched the Tina Fey clip.

I understand your point, but why wouldn't she just reiterate what she had originally said to Charlie Gibson?

[xshady121]

I don't know, that clip was pretty stupid and it sounded like what she meant.

Fuck, I don't really know though, because I never actually watched the Tina Fey clip.

Couric asked her what she meant by her previous (innocent) statement, which I had quoted above.

COURIC: You've cited Alaska's proximity to Russia as part of your foreign policy experience. What did you mean by that?

Palin never said that gave her foreign policy experience. She simply noted that they are close together in an effort to show that it is important to keep good relations with your neighbor.

Palin responds with...

PALIN: That Alaska has a very narrow maritime border between a foreign country, Russia, and on our other side, the land-- boundary that we have with-- Canada. It-- it's funny that a comment like that was-- kind of made to-- cari-- I don't know, you know? Reporters--


She stumbles on her words there, but she basically reiterates her previous statement. That all she was trying to say was the proximity between the two makes having positive relations essential.


Couric responds with...

COURIC: Explain to me why that enhances your foreign policy credentials.

PALIN: Well, it certainly does because our-- our next door neighbors are foreign countries. They're in the state that I am the executive of. And there in Russia--

COURIC: Have you ever been involved with any negotiations, for example, with the Russians?

PALIN: We have trade missions back and forth. We-- we do-- it's very important when you consider even national security issues with Russia as Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where-- where do they go? It's Alaska. It's just right over the border. It is-- from Alaska that we send those out to make sure that an eye is being kept on this very powerful nation, Russia, because they are right there. They are right next to-- to our state.


Couric is fishing for a fey-like comment.

Palin notes that trade missions occur in Alaska. That is true. There is nothing false about that. She then goes to talk about that Alaska and Russia share a common air space, and as such, it is important to keep kind relations with Russia because, after all "they are right next to our state".



She fumbled her words and sounded quite stupid doing so, but she never claimed anything outrageous, and aside for the trade missions line (which once again, is true) she reiterated her previous statement. This really is a non issue. Couric wanted a fey-like quote and didn't get anything. If she did, HuffPo's headline would have been "Palin: Russia's Proximety is a great Foreign Policy Experience!" rather than "Palin talks russia with couric".

Well, there's always this point, which I feel should consistently be reiterated when Palin is brought up.

[xshady121]

I don't know, that clip was pretty stupid and it sounded like what she meant.

Fuck, I don't really know though, because I never actually watched the Tina Fey clip.

How did that sound like what she meant? Every thing she said, sans the trade missions line (which is true) was focused on the importance of maintaining good relations with Russia due to it's proximity with Alaska.

When you read it and get rid of her stumbling and gibberish, it's easy to see she didn't say anything wrong.


She can't speak, but that doesn't mean she said something stupid.

[loveisdead]

It's not even worth discussing the whole Russia thing. Shady is right, Couric tried to bait her and kinda did so successfully, but either way--Palin did plenty more to solidify her as an idiot.

[xshady121]

Well, there's always this point, which I feel should consistently be reiterated when Palin is brought up.

I'm all for shitting on Palin. She's 100% wrong for the republican party AND america. She has her fair amount of stupid comments and she can't speak for shit. There's no shortage of things to pick on her about, but this isn't one of them.

[xshady121]

It's not even worth discussing the whole Russia thing. Shady is right, Couric tried to bait her and kinda did so successfully, but either way--Palin did plenty more to solidify her as an idiot.

If Palin wouldn't have sounded like a bumbling idiot and actually completed a sentence or two, this wouldn't even have been brought up. She did a good job avoiding the bait (sans the trade missions line, but even that isn't bad or wrong if you know what a trade mission is) but due to her inability to master the english language, she made herself look bad.

If I'm a repub political strategist, nothing she said makes me upset in that interview.

This part:

"PALIN: Well, it certainly does because our-- our next door neighbors are foreign countries. They're in the state that I am the executive of. And there in Russia--"

Makes it sound like shes saying that because she was governor of Alaska she had some sort of additional advantage concerning foreign policy with Russia. All in all, I'd say you're right, but I can understand the other argument.

[Idealist80]

I can't believe these people think Palin has a chance to win in 2012.
