Foreign Press Says What America’s Won’t: Sarah Palin is a Traitor (warning: graphic}

***

The American Press won’t say what the International Press will for a variety of reasons, but suffice it to say that there are many agendas at play here, causing truth to take a back-seat to dollars. As a noted US media critic once said, “everything to sell and nothing to tell.” And what a shame, because this isn’t about partisanship or even elitism; it’s about patriotism and who better to cover this issue than our domestic press?

Ms Palin cloaks her myth in her flag, but one has to question just what that symbol represents to Ms Palin, given that she won’t stop attacking this country’s sitting President during each crisis that presents itself. The word patriotism derives from the Greek patriōtēs meaning “fellow countryman”; that would include all of us, even President Obama. I’m afraid Ms Palin and her followers conflate their false community of nationalism with patriotism, and under the guise of said nationalism, justify harming America’s standing in the world along with the very unity of our nation. One can’t help but question Ms Palin’s true motives, along with her jingoistic, tabloid-driven patriotism, since she beats this drum of division in each public appearance she makes.

***
Sarah Palin is the figurehead for an unpatriotic movement here in the United States of America. A movement so bereft of love for this country that they would go to any means to see it fail, in order to elevate themselves into power. A movement which just yesterday met with the democratically elected President of this fine country and then immediately stabbed him in the back in their post-game press conference.

And nestled into this web of traitors is one particularly odious senator, Senator John McCain, upon whose shoulders the blame for this national embarrassment rests. Ms Palin is the front-runner of this group for Presidential candidate in 2012 according to polls. This makes sense, given the Republican Party’s current gamesmanship of our political system, wherein their only goal is to destroy the President – not to lead, not to govern – but to destroy. At any cost necessary.

1. I really enjoyed the line about

Conflating their false community of nationalism with patriotism. The dipshits who listen to Sarah Palin wouldn't know patriotism if it walked up and kicked them in their collective genitals.

[okaawhatever]

8. Their official name should be: Tea Party Hatriots. Champions of hatriotism. nt

[Coyotl]

75. Palin is redefining stupid.

[okaawhatever]

87. Well, you know the old saying, "If it's worth doing, it's worth doing well." She's simply the best

at doing what she does. (being the unofficial poster child for the pathetic and uninformed). I do admire her tenacity, just when I think she can't do something worse, she scrapes the bottom of that barrel and comes up with a new low.

[Coyotl]

89. My fav is "Tyranny Party"

[russspeakeasy]

2. she is a true beast.

[hobbit709]

3. And an editorial from Pravda

http://english.pravda.ru/opinion/columnists/30-11-2010/115998-spankin_sarah-0/

"I have already called Sarah Palin a pith-headed bimbo from the back of beyond, in this column. I shall now go one step further. By attacking the democratically elected President of the United States of America at a sensitive time in her country's history, she shows the tact of a boorish drunkard bawling obscenities at a funeral."

"If anything is a threat to the national security of the United States of America, it is this screaming, unrefined oaf with as much class as a searing release of flatulence followed by hysterical giggling at a state banquet. Is this what the people of the USA deserve?

To attack the President of the country at a time when the USA needs to close ranks and stand together to consolidate the enormous strides his intelligent and respectful approach has achieved in building bridges, when her party's period in government bombed them, Spankin' Sarah Palin comes across as a pitifully inadequate anachronism from the times of the Far West.

The United States of America has evolved. She has not."

[lastlib]

5. "...searing release of flatulence..."

God, that's funny!!!

[shenmue]

6. On target

That was hysterical.

[BlueMTexpat]

30. I was just about to post the same language from the link ...

truly spot on!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

43. HAAAAAA!

Haven't had a chance to read this one yet.

Oooo-eeeeee, sounds like my kind of editorial!!!

[calimary]

59. That is an insult to searing releases of flatulence everywhere.

Why do you hate America?

[uponit7771]

64. lofl!! flatulence that burns.... lol

[Eleanors38]

65. And I thought she was merely straining at stool...

[Enthusiast]

79. It's the burritos I tells ya!

[pangaia]

17. I wish you would post a new thread with this.

Brilliant and accurate.

[ashling]

41. Why a new one?

I don't follow

[pangaia]

44. Because it is so good I thought it might be a great complimentary seperate post to yours..

[ashling]

47. Go for it

[lillypaddle]

33. Martin Bashir

couldn't have said it any better than that.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

46. this serious quote from the article really gets me:

To attack the President of the country at a time when the USA needs to close ranks and stand together to consolidate the enormous strides his intelligent and respectful approach has achieved in building bridges, when her party's period in government bombed them, Spankin' Sarah Palin comes across as a pitifully inadequate anachronism from the times of the Far West.

Makes me so sad that this intelligent and respectful leader is treated as described.

And the fucking pukes aren't the only ones doing it.

[ctsnowman]

84. Excellent!

4. Grind those molars, Grifter

Like Dick Cheney. They must share what's left of a dead and shriveled soul.

10. The accompanying picture...

...perfectly shows the ugliness from within this woman.

Those analyses were a joy to read.

Shame on John McCain for inflicting this blight on our country.

[Tom Rinaldo]

11. "front-runner of this group for Presidential candidate in 2012 "

Is this old or is this just a typo? Aside from that I fully agree.

[NaturalHigh]

14. I saw that too.

Not that I don't get the anti-Palin sentiment, but couldn't some newer stuff than this be found?

[7962]

35. thought the same. Havent seen a poll with her at the top.

[UTUSN]

12. R#38 for, I am now officially devoted to one Sarah JONES.

By: Sarah Jones

.... One wonders, can Sarah Palin can see what the Russians see: [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]a shrill, desperate demagogue more interested in making money and getting famous than in the best interests of her country; a woman so jealous of a sitting President that she takes every blow her country faces and exploits it, turning it into an even more negative, frightening moment while distracting from the real work [/FONT]– never once stepping into the debate to lead, to soothe, to unite.

[FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]Never once has Ms Palin shown her love for this great country by standing by it and her President[/FONT] in a time of need. Instead, she views [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]each crisis as a cynical opportunity[/FONT] to sow the seeds of division among fellow countrymen. During the oil spill crisis, she took to Fox News to spew nonsense about the Dutch not getting their phone calls received, claiming she knew how to fix the leak if only the President had called on her. Of course, since she was on Fox News, no one bothered to ask her why, then, she did nothing to stop the oil spills that took place during her brief tenure as Governor of Alaska.

When she went to Hong Kong for a speaking engagement, Ms. Palin [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]attacked her President on foreign soil during a time of war[/FONT]. On her first book tour, Palin and her entourage of hit men (aka, her father, et al) [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]attacked the Commander in Chief on military bases[/FONT]. In times of major decisions regarding the war in Afghanistan, Palin has mocked the President when he followed the course of action recommended by his Generals. On 9/11, Palin bashed the President. In her speeches, Ms Palin is sure to remind her followers that Obama’s foreign policy is weakening America while she accuses the President of not loving his country. During the WikiLeaks crisis, Palin blamed the President instead of calling for a united front for our country.

Ms Palin and her followers justify this unpatriotic behavior by claiming the President is “un-American”. We all know what that’s about but if we’re left with any doubt, we have only to listen to Ms Palin assure her listeners that they have every right to ask for the President’s birth certificate:

And here she is just weeks ago suggesting that the failure to vet the President and his associations has harmed our democracy. Talk about projection.

Ms Palin’s heavily moderated [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]Facebook page was[/FONT] just months ago [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]full of comments calling for the death of our President, sedition, and the overthrowing of the Obama administration as being God’s will[/FONT]. Those comments were left standing while comments questioning Ms Palin in any way were scrubbed. Ms Palin stands for a level of vitriolic, simmering revulsion so steeped in delusions of self-righteousness, it’s tough to swim to sanity once you’ve been washed in the blood of her particular lamb. ....

15. And thank you foreign press!!!

[NBachers]

21. And let's not forget Representative Gabrielle Giffords

Giffords’ Republican opponent in the race, Jesse Kelly, whom she narrowly defeated, held a campaign event in which he invited supporters to shoot a machine gun. “Get on target for victory,” an ad for the event read. “Help remove Gabrielle Giffords from office. Shoot a fully a automatic M16 with Jesse Kelly,” the ad continued.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

50. thank you---she now has another admirer!!!!

[dchill]

78. "shrill, desperate demagogue more interested in making money..."

To her mind, it's what all the best people are doing.

16. Sinclair Lewis absolutely nailed it!

"When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross."

[pangaia]

18. Seems he forgot the part about stupidity.

[3catwoman3]

31. It's a...

pre-existing condition, necessary and sufficient for Republicanus mentalitis, which has a very poor prognosis.

[Sophiegirl]

74. That won't be covered under the ACA.

Some things just can't be diagnosed for insurance purposes. Stupidity is at the top of the list. Followed be willful ignorance.

[AgingAmerican]

26. In her case

It will be wrapped in stupid and babbling incoherently.

[chuckstevens]

19. Can someone who's MENTALLY IMPAIRED really be a traitor?

Oh, there are plenty of REAL right wing traitors, number one on my list are the Koch Brothers, who are literally trying to overthrow democracy in the USA with their money and fanatical fascist agenda.

But Sarah Palin? Come on; one has to have a basic understanding of how the government works before they can actively work to bring it down. I seriously doubt that she would pass a Junior High Constitution Unit Test and I doubt that her IQ is over 90.

[davidpdx]

76. If you believe in God it proves he has a sense of humor....

he forgot to give her a brain.

[AgingAmerican]

20. A traitor hiding in a bowl of word salad

Ten points to anyone who can decipher what on earth she is trying to say.

[truebluegreen]

25. No fair! No fair!

Challenges have to be within the realm of possibility!

[nyquil_man]

34. And HE, with the pipeline and the Benghazi and the insolvency,

and then, of course, HE, with the Syrians and the veterans (tongue click).

[alfredo]

22. She is the face of White Nationalism

[AgingAmerican]

23. Sarah Palin regurgitates poorly memorized, scrambled up RW talking points

She barely understands what they refer to. She spews them out of context with that stupid grin on her face and the RW laps it up.

After that it's off to the bank to cash the check.

[Fuddnik]

24. Sarah Palin is a poorly made tool. Nothing more.

At least with a Craftsman, you can take it back when it's broke.

She's the low rent, Dollar General variety.

[MoreGOPoop]

27. K & R

She's got the prerequisite Cheney/Cantor Destroyer Sneer.

[JimboBillyBubbaBob]

28. I have volunteered recently,

and will again, to shit in her mouth!

[Vietnameravet]

29. Problem is that she represents millions of people

who think just like she does..and who hate just as she hates..
Historians will wonder how our country ever got this way..

[BlancheSplanchnik]

51. so true.

Read Charles Pierce's "Idiot America". Great read!!!!

[rhett o rick]

32. I think those that wish to blame John McDrain for unleashing Ms. Palin on the country

are, IMHO, giving the nitwit McDrain too much credit. He is a witless tool. The Power To Be chose both John Boy and Bailin Palin to be the candidates to lose to Obama.

[pretzel4gore]

58. lose to O'bama....hmmm

after a stint with junyer bush hot-rodding the big noisy wreck (the USA) down the hill o beans, Mr Pig stole MORE candy from the baby (the Amer. ppl) by outwitting us....USA, and letting usa think 'WE DONE IT!'! Mr Pig knew that another copple years of reactionarky rule by gopig would severely damage the planet (which is doomed regardless imho) so Piglet figured to 'give back' to usa by allowing the lefty socialists ie the donkee Democrats, to takeover the WHouse. Well done! But to go ONE STEP BEYOND that , Mr Pig also elected a Chicago politician who is, well, Barack is not....not...isn't...well... (help me here, ferchrissake! whattamy trying to say??!)
Anyway, the whole planet 'bout peed' when O'Bama (he's sorta Irish roots) was marched into the Palace on Pennsylvania, and omg the advantage of having an intelligent person in the WHouse was so obvious Barack was RE-ELECTED bigtime in k12!
But we cynical lefty libral socialist tree-huggin hippies need to keep an EYE on the ball, just as you wisely say! IF anyone really tried to do what is in the best interest of USA/TROTP (ie 'the rest of the planet') the 'power-tobe' would george zimmerman the guy, pronto. It's hard to believe worthless stooges like j mcaine are even on the radar (see USS Forrestal!) much less running for top dog job! And sarah? Words fail me! Mouthy me!! 'Does not compute! does not compute' is all i can say!

[rhett o rick]

63. That could use a little work but I think it's about right-on.

I love a good conspiracy theory in the morning. (it's morning somewheres)

It's easy to fool people because they generally believe what they want to believe.

I think TPTB got more than they ever dreamed during the Lost Bush Decade. But they could tell that maybe they pushed a little too far. I mean, tax breaks for the wealthy, a very profitable war, Medicare part D, and a bank bailout. The natives were getting restless, so why not throw them a bone. Let a Democrat win the WH and then work full bore to discredit him. That would shut the peasants up. McCain was their Republican patsy and Palin was the poison pill.

I think in 2016 TPTB will back both Clinton and Christie, and it will be win-win for them.

[Enthusiast]

80. I subscribe to your theory.

Especially the 2016 part.

[rhett o rick]

86. How ironic if Citizens United helps Clinton win the nomination.

I say to Democrats, if you dont want Christie, then dont nominate Clinton.

[santamargarita]

36. Excellent piece. The "unpatriotic movement" is

so true about the traitors called Republicans, teabaggers or combined, the American Taliban.
This bunch really does want to destroy our country!

[world wide wally]

37. About time someone put it into words

[freshwest]

38. Sums up what I've been saying for years:

Most assuredly, those with a mind to use, know these global gangsters care nothing about the Constitution or Bill of Rights or our freedoms. It's a joke and they are laughing behind their followers' backs while they secure their own future by owning everything.

They are working to take it all away and divide us in order install their kingdoms where we will live as serfs under mob rule as being promoted by the NRA and Tea Party. A gang of ignorant bigots who revel at the thought of killing other citizens to indulge their magical goals.

We are thoroughly colonized in our minds by media, to accept violence, degradation and disrespect for all life to serve power and ego. It's Hell sharing space with them.

They gleefully fantasize in detail of slaughtering those who aren't part of their clan. Their desire is to terrorize others to own them, knowing full well what they are doing.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

52. !!!

I'd like to post this on FB, along with the OP and the Pravda article upthread.

For all the good it'll do......

[freshwest]

54. Fine, just don't put my name on it, please. And the Politicususa article is good, too...

[BlancheSplanchnik]

55. no prob

I'll just say quoted from a friend.

Actually I rarely go on fb anyway.....but just wanted to check.

[freshwest]

60. Hope you're staying warm! Cooking all day to keep the place warm. 'Tis the season to freeze!

Happy Holidays!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

61. ooooooh PRETTY

I'm hangin out.....gettin over a cold and cleaning here and there. Got some rice in the cooker now, listening to Telemann and Shrimpy on my lap.


Happy Season!!!!!!

[tina tron]

39. Best summation of the Tea Party

"Ms Palin and her followers conflate their false community of nationalism with patriotism"

[karynnj]

40. I don't want to be them - I STILL agree that dissent is a right and a responsibility

if you disagree. It is not treasonous to disagree - no matter how pathetically or stupidly it is done. Treason is very specific - and to use the word for negative comments (even if the right did) diminishes how serious a real charge of that is.

Not to mention, if a Republican is in office in the future, we will BEGGING Democrats to speak out. Do you want people like Grayson, who can go over a line, to be called a traitor for not respecting a sitting President?

When Palin makes comments against Obama, she will be cheered by the nutty right and will embarrass more moderate Republicans and independents.

[blkmusclmachine]

42. B!tter grapes

[Skittles]

45. the worst part is she sells out her own country for MONEY

[Warren DeMontague]

48. No, she's just a low-rent scam artist.

End of story.

[oxymoron]

49. Spot on. She is a horror. n/t

[indepat]

53. Nailing Palin through the flag she waves onto the cross she carries. F*ck Palin and all those of

her traitorous unpatriotic ilk: wonder if ever a face so pretty has had such an ugly heart and mean-spirited disposition.

[adavid]

56. The only allegiance...

that half-brain NEOCON kowtows to, is AIPAC, and big business.

[liberal N proud]

57. I would hate to have as much hate as Palin and some other republicans.

Their hate is what drives their actions.

[struggle4progress]

62. Meh. She only wants attention. We shouldn't provide it

[mnhtnbb]

70. Exactly.

[ThomThom]

66. They keep harping that they want to take this country back.

When did they have this country and who are they taking it from? Duly elected representatives? The bad liberals that are subverting their will? Or the corporate fascists that pay for they're loud mouths? These fascists are the ones that are unelected and controlling the agenda, promoting war, subverting rights and taking all the wealth from our once rich country. People like Palin need to put their greed aside and join the people.

[Jamaal510]

67. OT, but I dont get the graphic warning.

Palin is not really bad looking at all; she is just a nut.

[underpants]

68. +

[malaise]

69. Very good read and the pic is

delish

[hue]

71. K&R!!! reposted & e-mailed!

[mdbl]

72. Palin is an example of

what happens when a right wing beauty pageant contestant goes rogue.

[sarchasm]

73. KnR !!! X 100000000000000

[davidpdx]

77. but..but..but..

she can see Russia from her front porch. That's what Teabaggers call foreign policy experience.

[lonestarnot]

81. Yeah glorification of greed for power and money, especially that of

one who is too ignorant to tie one's own fucking shoe, is bad for the country. Train fucking wrecks, what is the fucking fascination?

[L0oniX]

82. Hey US Press ...we don't care what your trailer trash queen has to say.

[certainot]

85. i'd say limbaugh is real leader of this unpatriotic movement. and is also responsible for palin

not only does she (like most republicans) ride the talk radio bandwagon of ignorance and depend on that groundwork repetition and well established alternate reality for her material, the choice of her was likely made on his behalf.

limbaugh resisted supporting mccain until the friday before the GOP convention. mcain would not have had his support if he had gone with one of the 'respectable' choices (lieberman, pawlenty) and that would have been disaster for the convention and the election. she was announced minutes before his friday show and he led off the show saying because mccain 'chose' palin he could now suport mccain. it saved the convention at that point.

but it's likely that rove and others saw it as a disaster and blamed limbaugh. in the last days of bush in the white house limbaugh was invited to it and bush gave him a microphone-shaped CHOCOLATE cake as if to say thanks, rush, suck on this for 4 years. rove lost the white house and his control of talk radio. the koch think tanks took control and brought the dittoheaded talk radio base out into the open to stop the public option. the media and the left mistakenly branded the talk radio base the tea party and the huge influence of talk radio in politics and media continues to fly under the radar while it is used to kick liberal ass over and over.

[hfojvt]

88. amazing to me all the supposed liberals

who believe so strongly in free speech rights

now suddenly clap when some idiot writer calls criticism of the President the same as treason.

But that's apparently the new #1 principle - hatred of the other tribe.

[Initech]

90. When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross.

Truer words have never been spoken and they define idiots like Palin to a T.

[polichick]

91. Absolutely!
