Palin Apologist just said on MSNBC

[TheDonkey]

just tried to say that Palin deserves a few days with people not attacking her because she is so new to the scene. :wtf: This is a woman trying to run for the 2nd most powerful person in the world and you are telling us we need to take it easy on her because we might hurt her feelings???

[mnhtnbb]

1. She's gonna' run back to Alaska as fast as she can.

[1Hippiechick]

44. SHE's not saying it - MSM is saying it - setting the stage to stifle or condemn Dem criticism!

BASTARDS

[That Is Quite Enough]

2. Oh FSM, they really are going to go the "Sweet, Innocent Woman" route.

[TwilightGardener]

3. Awww...Miss Mooseburgers gets her widdle feelings hurt when she

doesn't get a warm welcome!

[graywarrior]

4. If you can't take the heat, get the fuck out, Palin.

[Sparkly]

5. If ya can't stand the heat...

:shrug:

[Imagevision]

6. Maybe photogs will catch her crying?

[thunder rising]

7. Welcome to the NFL. What did she really think that we (blogs and the left) didn't exist?

[JVS]

8. May she be attacked so hard and brutally that she comes to view being the VP candidate as the...

worst move of her life.

[stray cat]

9. After all according to the McCain campaign she is just an intern learning the trade...

[liberal N proud]

10. So new to the scene?

So New to the SCENE?

SO NEW TO THE SCENE?

She has no business on the SCENE! ATTACK! No taking it easy, everything is on the table because everything is on the line.

[Ichingcarpenter]

11. Boy are they reaching on talking points now

[dkf]

12. Talk about not being ready for the job. He just admitted it for goodness sakes.

[Egnever]

13. lol now thats funny.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

14. Let's ask the terrorists to not attack us right away...

Nice try. I think the Palin "apologist" didn't do her any favors with that line.

SHE'S NOT PREPARED!

[TwilightGardener]

19. Yeah, maybe Putin and Ahmadinejad will give her a running head start, since

she's just the new girl.

[Fleshdancer]

15. how patronizing!

What next? We should back off when she gets cramps too?

[kestrel91316]

50. Bwahahaha!. Two points!! (I say this as a major cramp victim of decades)

[Skidmore]

16. Some RW spokesperson on MSNBC yesterday said that she only has to perform well for a couple of days.

Then people will forget about the VPs entirely. Wish I could remember who said it. We need to hammer on her now.

[Egnever]

22. That was Chuck Todd I believe.

[TheDonkey]

26. what is chuck todd smoking???

[Egnever]

33. He has a theory that the VP only matters on three days

The day they are selected, The VP debates and some other day he never explains or i havent heard him explain.

I think that he might be right if its your standard safe pick. This one however is not even close to a safe pick.

[TwilightGardener]

23. Ridiculous, when McLoon may very well stroke out or get cancer in office.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

41. Normally I would agree with Chuck...

But you're right. When the nominee is 72 years old and has pre-cancerious lesions scraped off him 2-3 times a year, the choice of Vice Presidential nominee is critical.

[OHDEM]

59. Exactly right!

His VP pick is also important because it gives us an idea of how he'll pick his cabinet & how he'll make other choices. This failure in judgement needs to be talked about BIG TIME!

[kestrel91316]

51. "Get" cancer? Dear, he already HAS cancer. And don't try to tell me

that man is cured. He looks sick.

[Ilsa]

17. It is time for her to start answering tough questions

about Iraq, Georgia, healthcare, etc. The msm needs to show what a poor choice she is. It shouldn't be that hard to do.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

18. You gotta be fucking kidding me. (Of course, you are not!)

[City Lights]

20. Welcome to the majors, Palin!

NO MERCY!!!!!

[jaysunb]

21. The talking heads have been saying this from minute one

I've yet to hear one that didn't repeat over and over, that she should not be attacked. Seems they're trying to set us up.....
They've already started to parrot the " Hillary lost because of sexism" line.

I really hope she says something stupid pretty quick so that she'll have to "spend more time w/ her family."

:evilfrown:

[mitchum]

24. She needs to put on her big girl pants...fur-lined, I assume

[SteppingStone]

28. Ack ! Good one!

Seriously, would they be saying this if she were a man :nopity:

[mitchum]

31. Maybe if it was Neil Bush

[stillcool]

25. Playing right into the role of sexism...

[Errrica]

27. Did anybody say that of Obama?

Nope. Just came out hitting on that one, and now McLoser's side is defending her for it? If this woman somehow ends up leading my country, I'm fucking moving.

[No Elephants]

Please. They started criticizing Obama's picks before he even chose anyone. And, how long did they

give Obama, after he announced for the Presidency?

BTW, why does she "deserve" anything different than any other politician?

Doesn't anyone call these people on ANYthing?

[vaberella]

29. This is the underlying counter- assumed (confused with critique) sexism with sexism.

What does that mean? Because she's a woman new to the scene, she can't handle the shit yet and we have to wait until she's comfortable before we start attacking her on her stupidity. Why should we wait when this is about OUR nation.

[terrya]

30. Welcome to American national politics, Sarah Palin.

And the answer to that request is a big, fat no. This is national politics today, honey. Deal with it.

[vaberella]

32. They also keep forgetting..this is not about fuckin Palin or the damn GOP. This is about America!!

This is about the citizenry and we are the ones that need to be cared about. Not this unqualified twit.

[nc4bo]

34. I'd like to offer her a box of tissues.

The pounding must be intense LOL!!

[Retrograde]

If her hero Hillary can take it

so can she. To paraphrase a previous poster, what's going to happen when McCain becomes incapacitated and she has to step in: "Sorry, Mr. Putin or Mr. Ahmadinijad, I need a few days to catch up, so don't invade/press the button right now."

[gblady]

35. if ya can't take the heat....

stay out of the kitchen!

Good grief...
talk about your "poor little woman" attitude.

[Captain Hilts]

36. People here didn't like folks playin' rough with Obama. Everybody wants to protect their folks...

Politics ain't beanbag.

This person isn't doing her any favors. I'll bet she can take it.

[AlCzervik]

37. Maybe she should be sent out on an ice flow for a few weeks until she thinks she can handle

some criticism.

[northernlights]

38. Tell it to Putin

and tell Palin to shut up, quit whining and just work harder. :nopity:

After all, she's such a loser she's making it harder for all of us real women. :sarcasm:

[WinkyDink]

39. Bwahahahahahah! Suck it up, sister!

[Orangepeel]

40. oops! I guess she wasn't ready on Day 1. n/t

[janx]

42. I'm 50 years old, and I have never seen a campaign as pathetic

and weird as the McCain campaign.

[1Hippiechick]

43. Dig out the video of her criticizing HRC for whining, that women going into politics should know

beforehand what to expect. And other ppl are referencing her nickname "Baracuda" during her high school basketball career?

Gimme a break!

[northernlights]

46. aw c'mon now, play fair

that high school basketball career was the turning point of her life. It's what made her into the great success that she is today, 30 years later. It's so important, it's 1st on her resume.

McPain - POW
McPalin -- captain high school basketball team

[yurbud]

45. because republicans would certainly do that for ANYONE...

[Peregrine Took]

47. Politics ain't beanbag, Miss Sarah. Welcome to the majors!

You put yourself into this - now, as my mom would say, "take your medicine."

[Left Is Write]

48. NO. No, she does not "deserve" people taking it easy on her.

You want the job? You'd better be able to take the heat.

[kestrel91316]

49. I say: sic the pit bulls on her. Listen up, little lady:

you're playin' with the big boys now. You can't take the heat, go BACK to the kitchen.

[Vinca]

52. This afternoon I saw that Ron Christie character trying to promote her.

I almost felt sorry for him as he choked out her "city council experience."

[TheDonkey]

53. lmao. This is certainly the most bizarre thing I could ever think of. Palin is a disaster.

[Vinca]

56. Our town is the size of the town where she gained all her experience.

Every week there is a "selectman's meeting" where they discuss potholes and the like. Amazing.

[TheDonkey]

62. I grew up in a small rural town too.

the type of "issues" we faced was not even NEAR the level of intensity or intricacy of actual national and international issues facing this country. I would not be surprised if she has no idea what nuclear proliferation is or the process of international trade pacts.

[eleny]

54. She deserves much scrutiny because she's running for VP nt

[Meshuga]

I might agree with the apologist.

But only because I want Palin to get nominated. If they destroy her before Wednesday then the RNC still has time to reconsider. We want Palin to be nominated and then be fiercely picked apart in the next two months.

[Peacetrain]

58. No they won't ..this is McCains Harriet Myers moment

Its all judgment from here on out.. and McCain has none

[Meshuga]

60. Hey, Bush withdrew Harriet Myers nomination

That's my fear so I hope she is not a Harriet Myers since I hope Palin gets nominated. She is a too good to be true pick for us Democrats. :-)

[TheDonkey]

63. don't worry about that. McClown is too egotistic to have the rethugs force her to drop out

even though this plan is a ticking time bomb.

[Peacetrain]

64. She is the gift that keeps on giving..

:hi:.. there is no doubt about that..

[Liberal Dose]

55. Tell her to stand there and take it like a Clinton, dammit!! Palin would be institutionalized if she

had to go through what Hillary did.

[BlueIdaho]

57. Yeah - I'm sure America's enemies

Will be happy to give her a few days to get used to the oval office when gramps stokes out half way through his first term...

The White House is not a good place for international on the job training.

[CitizenPatriot]

61. they are plaing the GENDER card!

why are we supposed to go easy on her? did they go easy on obama? did they go easy on Biden?

since the accusation of playing the RACE card was being thrown at Obama, then here's your shite right back, GOP. Bloody Sarah is now playing the gender card, DAY ONE.

she should get out of the race if she can't handle it -- this isn't affirmative action election, and as we know and have been reminded repeatedly. and given her republican free market anti social issues stance, she wouldn't support affirmative action anyway. so I guess she's gonna have to do what hillary and the rest did. tough it out.

step aside, Bloody Barbie. Let another woman who can handle it step in.
