Sarah Palin's mind

College Confidential Community

<p>I've decided she is really only smart at one thing: cheap politics.</p>

<p>

Besides the fact the quote is misleading and obviously distorting truth, she clearly doesn't believe that people may change a bit. Has Ayers engaged in terrorist activities recently? No, its been forty years. Its not like he's actively trying to disrupt life now. Maybe it was youthful imprudence, like Obama's drug use, McCain's excessive cockiness, academic failure, and infidelity, or her eloping and marrying someone who denied the perpetuity of the United States. By her excessively moronic criteria, Barack Obama is a terrorist and drug addict, McCain is an immoral showoff, and she is a rebel against the United States. No, she is not a someone who sees:</p>

<p>

Certainly not if she associates with someone who wants Alaskan independence. She hates America, just like Barack Obama. According, that is, to her "thinking."</p>

<p>Its nice to see how such pathetically specious reasoning can come back to bite her in the face.</p>

<p>She's the champion of the mediocre with entitlement issues. These people live in a caste system, where being a white conservative puts you in the top caste, and you only have to prove yourself by stringing a few decent sentences together in order to warrant a shot at the top. In contrast, being liberal or being a minority requires you to toil for years, even decades, to prove you're worthy of trust to the self-proclaimed almighty ruling class (the delusional Palin acolytes).</p>

<p>America is turning to the left. The minority population is growing, as is the urban demographic. These people will only get more irrational and vociferous with each election year as their influence and gravy days wane.</p>

<p>^^^
Scary!</p>

</p>

<p>Your point makes sense but at the same time it's completely wrong and irrelevant.</p>

<p>^
Thank you, football, for that well reasoned, rational rebuttal. I look forward to reading more of your profound insights.</p>

6

<p>Thanks, I didn't realize my insights were profound. I just let the ideas flow from my soul.</p>

<p>Seriously though, where is bloody entitlement entering into the equation? She got elected governor of Alaska because governors don't do @%%# anyway and Alaska is probably the least important state. It's not a bloody entitlement complex. Blame the sheeple for electing her. The VP thing fell on her lap. I'd call it luck if anything. What I meant was, nba dude made a point about rampant entitlement issues in society. Problem is, it has nothing to do with Sarah Palin.</p>

7

<p>I figured that's what you meant. I was just screwing with you b/c you gave such a short answer. You make a good point.</p>

8

<p>Absolutely, she was technically incorrect. How do you define palling around? When you're attached to the hip of the guy, or when "just" work with the guy?</p>

<p>Also, just because you've commited terrorist acts and say you wish you would've done more doesn't make you a terrorist, it just makes you a sick person that did unAmerican things.</p>

<p>Shame on Sarah, getting her facts wrong :rolleyes:</p>

<p>Some people don't get it, but I got what Palin got, what Hillary got, why she did everything she could but throw the kitchen sink at him.</p>

<p>You just don't associate yourself with certain kind of people. They were working together, at least, about 2002.</p>

<p>He didn't have a problem throwing Wright under the bus after being "shocked" at "finding out" about some of what Wright said, but on Ayer's actions, just a crazy guy that did some bad things when Obama was young.</p>

<p>The latest spin is Obama didn't know about Ayer's bad stuff... LOL Why does that matter if he continued to work with the guy?
Obama: He's not somebody who I exchange ideas from on a regular basis.</p>

<p>CNN investigative reporter: “But the relationship between Obama and Ayers went much deeper, ran much longer, and was much more political than Obama said.”</p>

<p>Obama’s admission in a debate that he briefly served on “a board” with Ayers with little contact gets shot down. CNN followed up on Kurtz’ work with the Chicago Annenberg Challenge and debunks that notion. They also — amazingly — report on the nature of the grants made by the CAC while Obama ran it to Ayers’ favored schools with radical agendas. Griffin also tells a somewhat nonplussed Cooper that Obama has lied about his “coming out party” at the home of William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn in 1995. Obama has said that Alice Palmer arranged the fundraiser and the venue, but Griffin spoke to two people who attended the event, who claim Obama lied. Palmer had nothing to do with that event outside of being invited to it. Obama and Ayers planned the event themselves.</p>

<p>Obama has lied repeatedly about his relationship with the unrepentant domestic terrorist. He spent years working for Ayers, promoting Ayers’ causes.</p>

<p>Why does Sarah Palin sleep with a man who was politically allied to a radical who literally said that he hated America and advocated secession? </p>

<p>We should start a countdown until McCain-Palin rallies become nothing more than hate rallies. It's already officially begun with some racist cretin yelling "Kill him!" in reference to Obama.</p>

<p>" Why does Sarah Palin sleep with a man who was politically allied to a radical who literally said that he hated America and advocated secession? "</p>

<p>You're joking right ? </p>

<p>The hate rally is alive and well right here on cc. </p>

<p>I can't understand the absolute hatred and vile comments made here about Palin.
It is disturbing how Obama supporters are so unwilling to even ponder that Obama has some very negative associations , and forgive him of anything..or refuse to believe that he could be capable of any wrongdoing at all.</p>

<p>I have never hated another human being in my life, let alone someone I have never met.
sure , there are people I don't like and Obama is one of them.</p>

<p>Advocating secession isn't quite the same as orchestrating bombings, is it ?</p>

<p>I was pointing out the absurdity and hypocrisy of linking Obama with 60s terrorism (or more obliquely, terrorism committed by dark-skinned anti-Americans) just because his professional path once crossed with Ayers, while not caring about the fact that Sarah Palin chose to marry a person who wanted Alaska to secede from the U.S. (the last time that happened, 600 000 Americans were killed in what was then the bloodiest war in world history).</p>

12

<p>Again, Palin's point. How could anyone continue to work with a radical that targeted his own country?</p>

<p>The latest spin is Obama didn't know of Ayer's past initially... which matters why if he choose to continue to work for him?</p>

<p>“Some time after their first meeting. I don’t know the exact moment,” (Axelrod, machine behind Obama)</p>

<p>CNN reports...</p>

<p>DREW GRIFFIN (voice-over): Bill Ayers and his wife, Bernadine Dohrn, in the 1960s and '70s, were radicals -- members of the Weather Underground, an anti-Vietnam War group that bombed federal buildings, including the U.S. Capitol and the Pentagon. ...Ayers has never repented...Barack Obama confirmed during a primary debate that he knew Ayers, and, when pressed, said they served on a charitable foundation board together, and Obama condemned Ayers' support of violence. But the relationship between Obama and Ayers went much deeper, ran much longer, and was much more political than Obama said.</p>

<p>GRIFFIN: One place their paths repeatedly crossed, according to a CNN review of board minutes and other records, was Chicago's Annenberg Challenge Project, where a $50 million grant from the Annenberg Foundation matched locally-raised funds to improve schools. According to participants and project records, Bill Ayers fought to bring the Annenberg grant to Chicago. Barack Obama was recruited as its chair. For seven years, Bill Ayers and Obama, among many others, worked on funding for education projects, including some experiments supported by Ayers.</p>

<p>Stanley Kurtz, a conservative researcher for the Ethics and Public Policy Center, has also been reviewing the recently released records of Chicago's Annenberg Challenge.</p>

<p>STANLEY KURTZ, NATIONAL REVIEW ONLINE: Instead of giving money directly to schools, they gave men to what they called external partners, and these external partners were often pretty radical community organizer groups.</p>

<p>GRIFFIN: And the board gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to Bill Ayers' Small Schools Project promoting alternative education, like the Peace School, with a curriculum centered around a United Nations theme, and another school where the focus was African-American studies.</p>

<p>GRIFFIN: (on-camera): And this was directly funded by Annenberg?</p>

<p>KURTZ: Oh, yes.</p>

<p>GRIFFIN: Under Obama's chairmanship?</p>

<p>KURTZ: Oh, yes, and the specific job of the board of directors was to give out the money.</p>

<p>GRIFFIN (voice-over): While continuing work on the Annenberg Challenge, Barack Obama and Bill Ayers also served together on a second charitable foundation, the Woods Fund. Among its recipients -- Jeremiah Wright's Trinity United Church, where Obama attended, and a children and family justice center where Ayers' wife worked...
For Obama, the chairmanship of the $100 million Annenberg board helped vault him from South Side Chicago lawyer to political player, and that, too, has another connection to Bill Ayers. In 1995, months after the little-known Barack Obama became Annenberg Project chair, [Illinois] State Senator Alice Palmer introduced the young Obama as her political heir-apparent. Where was that introduction made? At the home of the '60s radicals Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn. The Obama campaign again says it is just a coincidence.</p>

<p>GRIFFIN (on-camera): Anderson, this meeting at Bill Ayers' home has been classified in many different ways. What I can tell you from two people who were actually there is: number one, former State Senator Alice Palmer says she in no way organized this meeting. She was invited, and attended it briefly. And, Dr. QuintonYoung, a retired doctor, told us this indeed was Barack Obama's political coming-out party and it was hosted by Bill Ayers.
...</p>

<p>Yeah, let me quote that you again.</p>

<p>"just because his professional path once crossed with Ayers"</p>

<p>LOL</p>

<p>AIP: Todd Palin was registered as a member but never participated in any party activities aside from attending a convention in Wasilla at one time.</p>

<p>There are some widely known secede Texas, secede Okalahoma, other wacky, but silly organizations. MUHAHAHA, the VP nominee married some guy that had paperwork with this organization. The nerve! </p>

<p>Back to reality, the Democratic nominee for President extensively worked with a guy unrepentant about his actions against our country.</p>

13

<p>Yes yes, amazing the vitrol expressed towards Palin.</p>

<p>But to the subject topic...</p>

<p>The</a> 'lost' Palin files - Deep Background - msnbc.com</p>

<p>I like how her mind works :)</p>

14

<p>My boss at work is a Republican. I guess that makes me one too. =[</p>

15

<p>:rolleyes:</p>

<p>Did Palin ever say that Obama was a terrorist because he hung around one? ;)</p>

<p>Let's look at what she said.</p>

<p>**Our opponent* though, is someone who sees America it seems as being so imperfect that he’s palling around with terrorists who would target their own country?*</p>

<p>Which of course means that she can't believe that Obama would be wiling to associate himself with such a character.</p>

<p>Likewise, if McCain had strong ties to an abortion clinic bomber, somehow that makes him one too? No, that'd just reflect on his poor judgment if he had been palling around with bombers.</p>

<p>There's a great interview/video today about between Time's Halperin and Obama strategist Gibbs.</p>

<p>*Gibbs, on when Obama learned of Wiliam Ayers' terrorist past: "I honestly don't know the day in which he learned."</p>

<p>On whether Obama continued to serve on various boards with Ayers after learing about his terrorist past: "Yes."</p>

<p>But Gibbs wouldn't answer Halperin's question on whether Obama thinks it's appropriate to have professional ties to someone who's committed terrorist acts.*</p>

<p>That's what this is all about.</p>

16

<p>Lol, I read the title and, before I could stop myself, thought, "what mind?" Is that bad?</p>

<p>I don't have anything to contribute to this thread :(.</p>

17

<p>I guess Ayers is all they have left. Pugfug's acting like this is news. Hannity hasn't been able to breath without uttering the word Ayers for the past couple years. We get it. He worked with a bad person. </p>

<p>I don't think most people care, and the only ones who do are already voting for McCain. </p>

<p>What a boring debate tonight. Just a string of tired talking points from both sides. I guess that's bad for McCain, who really needed to come out of this one with something new.</p>

18

<p>Nobody cares about William Ayers.</p>

19

<p>It's absolutely news when obama has claimed their relationship is some guy that just lives in his neighborhood and that they've crossed path a few times, an outrageous claim that CNN has debunked. Poor Anderson :(</p>

<p>Absolutely people care. Hillary won primary after primary after Wright surfaced. These Hillary supporters already had doubts about the guy, and his strange friends certainly nearly pushed her over the edge in the second half of the primary.</p>

<p>He was no longer hopey and changey, and right, jack, the boring debate showed Americans that Obama was just another politician.</p>

<p>It's good that you get it btw, that he did work with a bad person. Certainly Ayers is on the level of Eric Rudolph, etc. Time will tell to see how Americans will react, once they know the relationship wasn't just "casual", and of course, not only his crazy actions, but also his crazy views.</p>

20

<p>Yawn. If William Ayers was an issue, it would've exploded by now, if not by Hillary then by the likes of Rove and Schmidt. Keep digging in that empty mine for your fool's gold. You're wasting precious time trying to win over Americans on things that actually matter.</p>

<p>BTW, I'd take Reverend Wright over the Alaskan Independence Party any day, and so would most people if Wright were a white man.</p>
