Palin Asked For Specifics On Her Whine Of Mean Obama/Biden Democrats; Can't Answer
By Nicole Belle Friday Sep 05, 2008 11:15am
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin sent out a fundraising solicitation today that charged that "the Obama/Biden Democrats have been vicious in their attacks directed toward me, my family and John McCain."
I asked spokespeople of the McCain campaign and the Republican National Committee just which "Obama/Biden Democrats" they're referring to.
The response I got was that Obama spokesman Mark Bubriski erroneously attacked Palin as a supporter of Pat Buchanan.
That's it. That's the evidence.
An attack on Palin herself.
In other words, they can't name one person affiliated with the Obama-Biden campaign who attacked the Palin family.
This whole Culture of Victimization of the Republican Party makes me ill. As Tapper points out, McCain said heartless things about the adolescent Chelsea Clinton but any little scrutinization on them has them crying like WATBs.

Well, you know- when you talk to women, it's not what you say, it's how you say it.
Oops, I think I was just demeaning to women. Doh!

Throwing tantrums and whining like crybabies is the republican way. Don't like facts being reported? Blame the Liberal Media! Don't like being told you can't go around torturing people? Call them big meanie commie terrist loving liberal hippie american haters!
Someone call the wahhhhmbulance.
McCain and Palin know they only have two groups left that they can try to woo. The Fundies and the Idiots.
They have the Fundies pretty well sewn up with St. Sarah, but the Idiots are going to be more difficult.
The Idiots read the National Enquirer, and the NE has some salacious stories coming to supermarkets everywhere next week!
PEACE
I'm on the McCain list so I got that letter. I wrote back to say that I would cut a check for $10,000 immediately if Sara Palin or anybody else at McCain HQ could quote a single instance in which the Palin family had been attacked by Obama or his campaign.
Still have not heard back from them.
As opposed to Sarah Palin who has been nothing but gracious towards Obama, Biden, and their families. Heck I'm sure when she was mocking community organizers it was all in good fun, or when she said "They loved their country in good times and bad, and they are always proud of America," that wasn't a dig at Michelle Obama. She wasn't attack Obama when she said "In politics, there are some candidates who use change to promote their careers, and then there are those who use their careers to promote change," she was ... oh heck she spent her whole freaking speech attacking Obama and his family!!!!
this woman is nothing but a wiseass trailer park trash bitch. hopefully on nov. 5 she will be relegated into the trash bin of history.
She was a victim before she was a victim.
or something like that
To be fair, Obama and Biden both made very classy speeches saying Palin's family members should be off limits.
It goes hand in hand with the persecution complex of the evangelical christians. Apparently the best motivations they can come up with are; "We're the chosen people, we're right and everybody else is wrong" and "All the non-believers are picking on us." Wahhhhhhh, send us lots of your money.
So when is the media going to put the meme out that the McCain camp is hiding a celebrity? When is Biden going to come out and say this is nothing more that a stage production from the McCain camp. When is the media going to finally carry a little burdon about not reporting the dinengration of Community Orgainizers around the country...including regligious orgainizations. When is the media going to bring up the fact that Rudy Guliani is a has been who is now a full time drunk, and has to pander with hate. New story line, Republicans attack communtiy organizations that make a difference while failing to respond to the media. I am sick of this from the media and the Obama campaign; although I understand why they have taken the high road, but the writing is on the wall.
Her ugliness comes from within and it is spilling over. Screw her and the moose she rode in on.
... but any little scrutinization on them has them crying like WATBs.
HELP! Has has the useful and current "scrutiny" been forgotten? While not a member of the language police, I believe we don't need to suffer reading redundant neologisms.

UH....NEVER!
Hey, come on now, dont ask her questions. Thats sexist!
And her not giving interviews? Shes trying to prevent sexism.
And when she bombs Iran? You guessed it.
Typical Neocon cowards. They can dish it out but sure can't take it. The party of authoritarian, neurotic control freaks that go apoplectic when they lose control of the message or are challenged.
Sarah "So Sambo beat the bitch!" Palin is being viciously attacked?
Good.
She's conniving, mean spirited and aggressive. I'm a woman and I hate women like her. She's an insult to me and all the good I try to do in this world. She is only the second woman to be put in the position of candidacy for vice president of the United States and she has an obligation to be a leader. She has an obligation to be responsible and compassionate to the people of this nation. When I listen to her I see what I have seen for eight years.
In 2003 my husband was laid off as a programmer, the first time in his career of 25 years and there was no hope in sight for another job. Two months later I was diagnosed with cancer. We weathered the storm on COBRA, an expensive version of insurance we couldn't get rid of because I had a pre-existing condition. All the while I went through this disaster and as scared as I was we just kept going. When I looked to leadership in this country for inspiration I found nothing in the Republicans. They had there backs turned to me, secretly putting things in place to grab as much of the wealth in this country as they possible could without having to pay any taxes while do it.
The only people of inspiration, the ones who truly made me believe there was a future for me and my children in this country, were people like Obama and Biden and Ted Kennedy and Feingold. I will always have deep respect and admiration for the men and women who stood up to the bastards who almost destroyed this country.
GET OUT THE VOTE!!!
dennis @ 10:
....... not that that advice is being heeded by anyone outside their own camps.
Chicken "Hussein" Little - Not! @ 11:
Normally I would agree with you on this one, but time and time again the religious morons march out to FOX and spout that we are a christian nation. They do this while stating that non-believers are only 1.5 million strong...some compelling argument they are putting forth.
What's a WATB? ??? I don't speak "Textish."
The neocons also use the "poison the well" tactic. They plant a false story and use it to prove all stories are false.
ummm - and the "attack" against her is true - she did back Buchanan during his bid for the white house. there are pics of her at campaign stop for him and her wearing a button for him.
Her entire acceptance screech was nothing but a whine-a-thon. She does Phil Gramm proud, doesn't she? NOTHING she read from the teleprompter stands up to scrutiny, so I hope that the Dems go on the offensive, for once, and put the screw in scrutiny and go on the attack against the whole lot of these clowns. No more Mister Nice Guys, dammit!
This bitch needs to be dealt with.
She will continue to lie and cheat and parade her hypocrisy in front of the country. She will soon likely get into the whole "end-times" code words that her crowd so loves. And she will continue to do what her neocon handlers want. And she will do it with impunity.
When she is rightly attacked for her actions, or when her lies are exposed, she will claim that "jebus is my lord and savior" thereby making everything all right with the mouth-breathing evangelicals she was picked to appease.

Whiney Ass Titty Baby
Sarah Palin Rides the ‘Mute Button’ Express
Palin Is Running Scared; Really Scared
You can quote me on this one: Sarah Palin is scared as hell whatever she has done in her life will catch up to her soon. She is so scared she is prematurely hollering foul before the attack takes place. This is plain old fashion guilt. Oh, she been doing something or someone.
Joseph
I think this lie really needs to be exposed. I was watching Morning Joe on MSNBC on Friday August 29. Pat Buchanan himself was on the set of Morning Joe when all the blackberries started going crazy. Buchanan on cable television MSNBC said Palin was one of his supporters in the 90's. Robert Gibbs from the Obama campaign was on the show that morning, too. I can't remember if he was still on the set or was in the diner having breakfast. Buchanan was on either Hardball or Race for the White House that afternoon when he again made the statement again that Sarah Palin had been one of his supporters.
I think if Pat Buchanan himself says on live television twice that Palin was one of his supporters that's a credible source for someone to quote. Perhaps that needs to be pointed out somehow.
Pat Buchanan answers this question.

The only way to push pack against the Culture of Victimization is to call it out. As I say to my students, "Where's the evidence?" You can't make claims that have no basis.
Yes, any criticism of Palin will be spun as an attack on her family, but that doesn't mean we back off. Nothing appeases those who feel ontologically victimized, as today's Republicans do.
Just came back from a farmer's market where I tabled for Obama, and the McCain table had a big sign that said, "Yes, we're bitter and we're going to take our guns and stick with Sarah and John."
Thinskinned, meanspirited, professional victims.
Oddly enough, not a word from McCain about the Georgia congressman calling Obama and Michelle "uppity".
That does it! Now they got my Irish up! That these Repuklican trash talkers have the unmitigated gall to whine that they are being picked on after the debacle they called a convention, is beyond belief. Am I the only one who noticed the very salient fact that everyone of the trash haulers they brought to the mike in St. Paul was a loser? Miss Guliani...LOSER, huh, huh, huh Thompson...LOSER, Huckleberry Huckabee...LOSER, money bags Romney...LOSER and last but not least, Georgie Boy...LOSER EXTRADINARE. There was not one winner in the whole damn bunch. The Dems had sitting members of Congress, and sitting Govenors by contrast. The Repuklicans could only tear down Obama. They nor their candidates offered the American people anything positive. And they have the gall to ask for four more years. WAKE UP AMERICA!
Clumberfeet @ 37:
I would be seriously pissed if I was Pat Buchanan. He stands behind her and she turns her back on him. What a high society reaching bitch. I do not want her anywhere near the white house. I want anything that she has done in the past to come out and sit there for the five minutes in will in the press like elephant dung in the middle ring of the big top circus.
Typical Republican through-the-looking-glass tactics.
THEY make the vicious partisan attacks, and then they claim THEY are the victims of vicious partisan attacks.
And that woman's whiney voice .. omg ..
It doesn't do much good to complain about this stuff to the choir. What needs to be done is everytime the GOP pulls this stuff, the MSM needs to in inundated by the left to address the lies. The MSM doesn't touch this stuff, but if they got enough noise and outrage from the opposition maybe they would. We also need to flood the Obama with our rage over their silience. They think they can ignore this stuff. Ask Gore and Kerry how that worked for them?
Betty Barracuda
YOU ROCK !!
Can't the media just e-mail her some questions & wait for her answers in a couple of days.
I don't see the problem?
For the record, Pat Buchanan is less than impressed with Sarah Palin...
dennis @ 21:
So Sara can exploit her family for political gain and nobody can say anything about it?
Classic Repub two-facedness there, lil' d. Golf clap.
Somebody should have told that pitbull puppy that she will get wet when she goes pissing with the big dogs.
(I don't know if I can take this nonsense until November)
There's something about the Christian faith that turns people into crybabies.
I've noticed that Christians whine about "being persecuted" at the drop of the hat, whether you're preventing them from cramming their beliefs into the law, using tax dollars to benefit their religion or just asking them for any proof to back up their convictions. They're fond of playing the "hurt feelings" card.
The irony is that Christians are the biggest bullies in history and are known to persecute other religions, gays, non-believers and women. But the minute you simply restrain them from bullying others, you're a big mean atheist who won't respect their sacred beliefs.
No surprise at all that conservative Christians carry this habit into politics. The biggest victim-conscious crybaby I've ever known was one of the most devout Christians I've ever personally known, so the complex does spill over into all areas of life (anecdotal evidence, I realize, but it's what I've observed).
I think the persecution complex is genuine, that they really do see themselves as being bullied and harrassed. I suspect it may be a consequence of identifying with a suffering god who was said to have been isolated, despised, beaten and then crucified.
Love the pic.
Sieg Heil!
Someone needs to kick this Betty Barracuda person off the site. If I could understand what the hell she saying, I would be angry along with the current confusion I get when trying to read the meaning of her comments. One thing is clear: it is very childish.

Actually I would be pissed if someone said I supported Buchanan, but she did, so did she lose Petulant Pat's close friendship?
Did you see the Pat B/Mathews spat on Friday?
The reslug campaign statements can be summarized as follows: "Wah. wah. wah. wah."
Joseph @ 57:
Hey, Joey-baby. I see yer not as well read as I am. I think they call it satire out there in intellectual circles but what would you know about those kinds of thangs?
[Neither am I, sophya. We do have a rule about name changing in the comment policy. I suggest you curl up with that-Sitemonitor]
Palin isn't the kind to run scared. She's got god on her side and she's supremely confident in the fact that she is completely correct and justified in her every action. She NEVER looks back and she never reflects on decisions. This is why she thinks she can get by with all of these baldface lies.
It's the GOP that, once they saw what they'd gotten into, started freaking out and running scared. Even they can see what an unrepentant whackjob she is. I'd say that everyone except Palin and McCain realize that the pooch has been screwed by this VP choice.
They're creating their own fantasy world so their loyal lemmings can actually rationalize voting for them.
The Rethug game plan was to make a Palin and her family a target. Obama and Biden haven't fallen it. This won't stop the thugs from playing out their game.
If the MSM is beginning to take some interest in dysfunctional family life and her abusive nature of governing then all the better.
Cheers,
Marvin
gbear @ 61:
Now who does that remind me of...
Joseph @ 57:
I agree. I come here to learn other people's opinions and take politics seriously. She is a distraction.
If we lose against these klutzes in Nov forget it.
Bring 'em on is my motto. What does a site monitor do? Scrub sites?
[That's a small part of my duties here. I also fix links and messed up quoting (when I can figure out who was saying what to whom), and answer correspondence. And I ban posters as well. Bye sophya-Sitemonitor]
gbear @ 61:
That's exactly right. They can't let her out of the box because she will galvanize the other side and produce a landslide for the Democrats.
Stupidest V.P. choice ever.
oh i don't know, i think john and cindy have figured out by now what a tough little bitch they've taken on -- right now she's holed up in alaska and she's not rejoining the farce until she gets herself some "guarantees."
gbear @ 61:
Interesting thought, since Sarah's such a GOOD christian she probably won't mind being made into a sacrificial lamb. I've lived through both Kennedy assassinations, so there's no doubt in my mind what the dark side of this country is capable of doing. Imagine the impact of Palin being "assassinated" by an angry radical/feminist/black man/.....you get the idea. Man I hope I just had a bad night but these folks are working to keep their power, wealth and stay out of jail. Pretty powerful incentives...Sarah had better have something on them stuffed away for insurance or I'd say she could be at significant risk.
If the media had any sense of responsibility, they would tell the McPfailin campaign that they won't report on them until Sarah McPfailin goes before the press. If Sarah McPfailin were made to answer even the most basic questions, all they would have to cover for two months would be "Obama/Biden continues to hold at least a ten percent lead over McPfailin." They can't play hardball with politicians because they might lose sources/marching orders; not to mention be ridiculed as partisan hacks for actually doing their jobs/lose advertising money.
Typical Repub. Liar
Looks like Republicans have kids (FaMiLy) for the one and only purpose of being a personal shield and to hide their corruption and despicable lack of integrity.
L.A. Confidential @ 53:
LA, let us not forget that these "klutzes" are protecting their power, riches, and they're working real hard to stay out of jail. They will pull out any and all stops to keep from losing this Nov including but certainly not limited to my post 56, bearding the Russian Bear and/or going into Iran. I lived through the Cold War and that was some scary times. Compared to the next 2 months, the Cold War was a freakin' walk in the park on a beautiful spring day. We need to be vigilant, aware and ready to react if any of these scenarios are implemented.
Who's this bettybarracuda and why is she jabbering away nonsensically?
L.A. Confidential @ 60:
Of course there's also the old standard. Dad get's laid off, can't get a job, comes home and slaps the kids and wife around because he's unemployable and it's their fault.
L.A. Confidential @ 53:
i agree. i swear, if we learned nothing at all from the kerry debacle, it must be this: we can never again let the republicans cow us into not responding to baseless smears.
mccain must be revealed for the bush sycophant and prisoner of crazy base world that he is, and palin for the totally unqualified, crazy baser she is.
Oh, I see that she's been banned. Good.
BigIslandDave @ 62:
She can't take the heat that's why shes jabbering.
Gee, we've gone 72 hours and a Palin didn't get pregnant.
Will the fundies be screaming that abstinence works?

Well said Chris B and Imab. Take back the media and let's get our country back. But watch out, they're after our "internets" next...
Cry me a river, you wanted to play with the big boys. This is what happens, if you can't stand it get out. As Harry Truman said,"if you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen." What did they do hurt you little bitty feelings. Are you going to cry, oh wait you already are.
That's so sexist-asking her for an explanation for the stuff that leaks out of her mouth. I'm sure she meant 'uppity' in solidarity with Rep Westmoreland (and you thought Fred Thompson was a stupid lazy interfering Thug hound dawg), or 'colored,' in an attempt to curry favour with Hannity.
Sarah Palin is a cut and run coward. Pit Bull my ass. Let's se her say that same crap to Obama and Biden in person.
Please call the McCain press office - (703) 650-5550 - and demand that Governor Palin submit to press interviews with no preconditions and no topics declared off-limits.
karen marie @ 56:
Wrong there, karen marie.

She's hardly holed up anywhere. Certainly not in a bubble, either.
Republicans wish it was the Palin/McCain 08 ticket. They were never happy with McCain, and Palin is just an escape from reality. In the end , the ticket = Bush third term. Face it republicans, your candidate is McCain not Palin.
it's a strategy...trying to get the people in the coliseum...on her side. she put her child in front of the world because of the media......nonsense.
this a shield being produced in front of our eyes. they know she is vulnerable.
i would like to know seriously why she can't be asked about her SHARED parenting of 4-5 children one of them a down syndrome newborn and her campaigning for vice president of the united states....possibly the president.
i think it's a fair question there are pre-planting it's sexist and men never getted asked.......i can understand that argument. i'm into gender equality yet this is a unique situation.you know what the deal is they don't want us to ask.....i'm already hearing comments from women about it.
Palin is a potential weak link. Joan Walsh from Salon
says Palin is tough she can be attacked.
she attacked Obama hard and lied....this is NOT a gender deal....palin should strictly viewed as a person
with a voice as should obama...not gender nor race.
This coming from the person that said if Hillary can not answer the tough questions then she should not be running for office.
The "Culture of Victimization of the Republican Party" has also adopted unwed, pregnant teenagers as a core value. Can anyone honestly believe that the Republicans are coming to save us all from the Republicans?
The whole McSame campaign has been based on he isn't one those nutty right wingers, and then he picks one for his running mate. The ultimate flip flop. And now they're crying? It makes me ill as well.
They have their constant echo of the regressive media like Fox and hate radio spewing lies and innuendo but say one word about Palin and you're sexist or whatever garbage that comes out of their mouths.
They're using the same old culture war/cultural parable bullshit they use every year. McSame campaign goon Davis said this campaign isn't about issues, they will do everything but talk about issues.
What is going to happen is Palin will be just like Cheney, she will only appear on Fox or whatever other regressive propaganda pals these chumps can come up with. They will do everything to prevent her from getting asked any questions of substance. And then come the debates!!!
So glad they got rid of that nasty fairness doctrine.
"Free market" tv is so enlightening.
I'm happy, though, Jake Tapper of all people asked, because it was clearly BS. She lies about them, then claims victimhood and claims they've lied about her. Classic GOP.
Batocchio @ 81:
Always stick with a winning strategy.
dennis @ 74:
Well Dennis you're correct about the itinerary, the McCain press office verifies your information and the fact that she's being prepped for interviews and debates. What was interesting was the waffling and double talk when I asked if future interviews would be done without preconditions and no topics declared off-limits. It would seem that the "powers-that-be" may not be as confident as you are with her speaking with the press.
i sure hope someone pulls her aside and informs her _ "there's no crying in baseball"
if a president mccain couldn't serve after march/09 palin would step in as commander in chief...it could happen.
there is NO way palin is ready for the #1 position.
during the convention i don't if you saw Governor of
Utah Jon Huntsman got asked about her having experience Gregory actually challenged the governor and he said 'she will be ready'.......that's NOT good enough.
the only thing let out of the gop
and their rnc is the little mustache under
palins nose and a roaring sig heil (sp).
the republicans a nothing less than a full
blown nazi party. the fascists are quickly
destroying this country and the U S Constitution.
FUCK THEM !
lmab @ 13:
Thank you. She is indeed an ugly woman. And although I'm not an Oprah-watcher, I am glad that Ms. Winfrey did not invite this beast on her show. I suppose Oprah heard through the grapevine what Gov. Hockey Mom called Obama and Hillary while in a restaurant.
It's about time we expose this woman for what she is and put it all out there. The gloves were off when she demeaned Mr. Obama, his wife and his children. It's time to show this Manchurian Candidate Polar-bear killer the door.
(And don't think for one second the neocons and the rest of the RNC aren't programming her with every possible fact so she can do-si-do with Biden.
And although I don't like Biden for his loose cannon nature, this is one time that I hope he opens a can of whup-ass in the debates and banishes that woman to the netherworld where she belongs instead of infecting this society with her hate-speak).
