Palin calls David Gregory racists for questioning Gingrich on "Food Stamp President" remark
Edited on Wed May-18-11 11:21 PM by RandySF
Palin: Well, talk about Racism. That was a racism-tinged question from David Gregory. He made it sound like if you're black - you're on Food Stamps and the President is saying you're on Food Stamps. Enough of this, obviously it's done to end the conversation and divert attention from what the real substance is.

Why do we let the press, or the media personalities get away with this. Let's call 'em out on 'em and start concentrating on what the real issue is. The issue is we have 47 Million Americans on Food Stamps, y'know why? Because we don't have a robust economy allowing the private sector to grow and have jobs provided, via the private sector, because government has overreached, overtaxed, overspent and got us in debt and there isn't enough private sector money out their creating jobs.

1. Ms. Sarah, you really need to stop putting your words in other peoples' mouths.
If you've got something to say, just come right out and say it. Okay?

2. God, she's stupid.
I will always hate McCain for giving her a national perch, however precarious.

3. This from the woman
who dropped out of the U of Hawaii because she didn't like being a minority. Sheesh.

Why any of this is David Gregory's fault is beyond me. He's not responsible for the twaddle that comes out of Newt's mouth.

10. Blaming the press is her MO
And her slack jawed sheep agree with her. And I do believe she's a racist right down to her socks.

6. Because calling Obama the "food stamp President" isn't a racist remark?
Y'know why we have 47MM on food stamps? Because we have Republicans who can't sell out this country fast enough.

14. Plus WE as in pukes give tax breaks to rich people and corporations
and they in turn send the jobs off shore or hire undocumented workers. Which leaves the rest of us with too little too late.

17. And such is the problem
with people who see racism everywhere they look.

Or want to see it everywhere they look.


Because really...what better ammunition is there to use against anyone than to accuse that person of being a "racist"?

There's no way to defend oneself against being a racist. So if someone calls you a racist, that's it. You're a racist.

And the person who called you a racist gets to feel morally superior.

Works with Sarah Palin...works with Democrats, too.

18. What a fucking stupid woman...
...really, you lazy, crazy idiot?

You couldn't even finish your FIRST term as Alaska's governor and we should care what you say WHY???

Please fuck off and go back to pretend being a rugged outdoorswoman and leave the thinking to people equipped for the job..you know, the folks with brains...

19. You know
Edited on Thu May-19-11 09:56 AM by Aerows
I love how the party of "personal responsibility" and "no entitlements" uses phrases like "providing jobs." Jobs aren't "provided", jobs happen because there is a need for the work to be done, and there is money to pay someone for that work to be done. We have some very real needs in this country, and some very real work that needs to be done, the problem is that people like Palin would rather talk about insignificant things instead of substance.

Palin is doing a job that doesn't need to be done. Quite a few in Washington are worrying about jobs that don't need to be done, instead of focusing on what really, desperately needs to be done in this country - not every other damn country in the world, I might add.
