SARAH FINDS THE TEA POT PARTY
So the Tea Party organizers fueled or spawned by outside thinkers Ron and Rand Paul, Libertarians, John Birchers, Ross Perot, twists it a bit with a modern day bunch of protesters and this is prime time for Political False Gods to drop in and they came in droves fanned on by the FAUX news network patriots, O’Reilly, Beck, Hannity, the trifecta of complaint and distortion, the leaders of dissent and political hacking, and their hand picked slanted talking heads.
Maybe not the brightest rocks in the stream went to the Tea Party. A few made sense, many looked like the seventies. When people pay to hear what they want to hear, a state of moronic illness sets in. Her speech could of been written by the crew from Saturday Night Live and the Third Reich. All about blaming the other guys and not forthcoming with solutions, nor answers. It's easy to critique. Der Fuhrer (translated as “da fewer da better”) had a habit of blaming everything on the other guys and found a welcome audience.
So the FOX crew plays the game, the ratings game. Palin is about recognition, money, glory, money and, power, money, ratings and rantings, and if you follow the money..... theres a Fox in the Henhouse.
I believe the TEA PARTY had merit and in their hearts they mean well for this country. Let’s face it, the corruption in Washington has gone too far. No argument there. But there are limits to bad taste. Clean slogans are OK, cursing on signs, calling the President names you wouldn’t use in your home, and pictures of our President smeared with bad artwork and insinuations about his race, birth, and religion are off bounds.
For the Tea Party to be anything it has to get rid of the nuts. It’s not a new idea. For years attempts at a third party have popped up and rapidly pooped out, and failed. H. Ross Perot grabbed 19% of the vote as a spoiler and turned things upside-down. It helped get Bush elected eventually as competence was easily outweighed by popularity and money….
LOOK ELSEWHERE
Till they find a leader with VISION not rhetoric. The real Republican party knows words alone mean little. Sarah Palin is not that person, she lacks the simple, yet intellectual fortitude and ability to sort out the answers. The economics of the times might be a boost for her parroted ideas but it’s also the recipe for a perfect storm as elections and principles will be distorted and ratified by outsiders with lies and distortions.
And she is played them like fools. That will displace anyone really talented to try to make and lead a viable party. No one will go up against that mouth. Thus she is killed them and they don’t have a clue.
Her mantra "Drill, Baby, Drill" was cute, and a lot of idiots cheered her on at these whistle stops but maybe they should be in Louisiana right now or any of the other gulf states about to be decimated by off shore deepwater drilling. It now represents the biggest disaster in the history of the United States, SPILL, SPILL, SPILL, is what she is all about. Stupid remarks oozes out and then they have to clean up after her. That seems to be all she has to offer.
This will be a long and ongoing project, you will not see the end of her, she will survive, I guarantee it and maybe not a President of anything other than THE NEW ERA OF PALEONTOLOGY , which will be followed by the ERA of PALINTOXOLOGY. Her rhetoric does nothing but poison good minds.
VANITY FAIR CONFIRMS A FEW POINTS I HAD NOTED
In a field of new magazines almost appearing daily, I tend to stick with the established long time, old school journalistic one's. In many of the new political based ones, the script is written beforehand based on the age old premise, 'What side are you on'. In Vanity Fair's new issue, Michael J. Gross, a great writer takes a hard look at Palin's "surreal new world." My friend described her as a very believable fraud energized by greed, and fabula-sized by the media who get bored trying to get an intelligent story out of Washington. Sarah sells.
Palin's a lousy tipper — when nobody's looking
During hundreds of interviews, says Gross, "I heard of Palin giving a generous tip" just once: In front of a large crowd at a chocolate shop in St. Joseph, MI, she slipped the owner a $100 bill “for the staff” and charged it to the GOP.
Without an audience, she stiffs the bellhops and maids at the luxury hotels she stays at during her grueling speaking schedule, or at best under-tips. At the celebrity-friendly Hyatt in Wichita, KS, "Palin ranks as the all-time worst tipper."
Her code name is "North Star”
An important concept in Alaska, the North Star shows up on the state flag, in the state song, and even as a symbol for God. Move over, God, says Gross: "Palin is on the way to making North Star a personal brand." It serves as her code name at hotels, dots her speeches, and identifies shell businesses run by her aides. "If she ever does run for president, [North Star] might well serve as her Secret Service code name.”
She has a wicked temper √√√√√√
When Gross first heard tales of Palin's volatile disposition, he says he "couldn’t help but wonder if [they] might be exaggerated." But "corroborating" stories piled up. One family friend recalled a fight between Palin and her husband, Todd: "They took all the canned goods out of the pantry, then proceeded to throw them at each other. By the time they got done, the stainless-steel fridge looked like it had got shot up with a shotgun." Palin gets away with her "horrible temper," the friend said, "because she is a pretty woman."
Rumor has it that Palin's Facebook posts are ghostwritten √√√√√√
"Palin's most unconventional hire" is "novice media consultant" Rebecca Mansour, co-founder of Conservatives4Palin, a fiercely pro-Palin blog. At the exact time that Palin quietly hired Mansour, Palin's Facebook page and Twitter feed — until then "written mostly in a stiff, third-person form" — became "increasingly provocative and irascible." Her "virtual voice," says Gross, now often "sounds less like Palin herself than someone else's fantasy version of Palin at her most vitriolic.”
She doesn't hunt √√√√√
While much of the small-town-mayor persona Palin maintained before she achieved national fame was "more or less accurate," some elements were just pure fiction, says Gross. "This whole hunter thing for Sarah?" said a longtime family friend. "That woman has never hunted. The picture of her with the caribou she says she shot? She got out of the RV to pose for a picture." And when Palin made moose chili during an interview with Greta Van Susteren, the friend adds, “ odd was calling everyone he knew the day before — “Do you got any moose? He was desperate.”
ASSASSINATION, REPUDIATION and DISGUST - THE GABBY SHOOTING
Every aspect of the life of accused killer Jared Lee Loughner is under a microscope by the entire political spectrum and this too will create more of the blame game which is the tone of todays politics. Under Federal law, the attempt on the life of a Congress person (thats Gabby and her staffers) is considered an assassination.
After all "someone has to be blamed", since that's the nature of the rhetoric today. The tragedy of this whole situation is that it could have been avoided. The bizarre actions of the shooter went unheralded after both school officials and police met him on several occasions.
No Baker act, no mental health activity originated, simply no help. In defense, no clues. When stopped for a traffic infraction shortly before the shooting, he had the right paperwork, no warrants and was issued a warning.
Nothing close to rational for what he did. Nothing makes sense. In the search of his motivation for shooting Arizona congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords in the head and slaughtering random innocents, including a 9-year-old girl, the blame game is in full swing. Ironically, the premier target is Sarah Palin for her stupid and irresponsible statements.
Fox News, Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, and Bill O'Reilly and the rhetoric they spew 24/7 basis are like the seeds to a farmer. Nor today will be the day but tomorrow might in the mind of one who hears voices and follows commands of demons. It's obvious none of them actually had anything to do with this travesty, but their rhetoric certainly stirs the hearts and minds of the heartless and mindless.
The gun and ammunition used offered no resistance to the purchase. They (GUN) came from Sportsman's Warehouse and (Ammo) Wal-Mart. Again, clues, no follow up and a failed system. The most important part is where did he get the thirty round magazines?
SPORTSMAN’S WAREHOUSE STATEMENT - “During this difficult time, our prayers and condolences are with the families of the victims in this horrible tragedy. We join with everyone in praying for a quick recovery of those injured. We are fully supporting the authorities investigating this senseless tragedy. Because the investigation is on going we have been asked by law enforcement not to make any comments and we will of course, honor that request”. Yet their website sealed another statement praising the GLOCK Weapon and it’s capacity. "Like no other pistol, GLOCK pistols permit almost unrestricted compatibility of the magazines within a caliber. Standard magazines, for instance, can also be used for backup weapons. Compact and subcompact GLOCK pistol model magazines can be loaded with a convincing number of rounds - i.e. GLOCK 26: up to 33 rounds.
WAL-MART HAS RELEASED A STATEMENT - "This is a horrific tragedy. We share in the sadness for those people whose lives were ended too soon and we're praying for the recovery of those who were injured." "We are cooperating with federal and local law enforcement agencies and remain in close contact with them." An associate recognized a picture of Mr. Loughner on TV as being someone they had seen in one of our stores. Dan Fogelman, Wal-Mart Spokesman.
A FEW DAYS PRIOR
Gabby had made statements about Palin's online map that put certain districts in crosshairs indicating that Republicans should target their representatives for defeat in the elections. Her sense of survival and fear brought this to the surface as shown in many interviews.
She knew what Palin’s rhetoric could possibly do. A seed, an image, nothing more, but like any harvest, seeds grow and combined with the daily dose of this rhetorical sunshine, the crop comes in.
Gabrielle Giffords was born in Tucson, Arizona, to Gloria Kay Fraser and Spencer J. Giffords. Her father is a first cousin of director Bruce Paltrow, whose daughter is actress Gwyneth Paltrow. Giffords was raised in a mixed religious environment by her Jewish father and Christian Science-practicing mother.
She has identified herself solely with Judaism since 2001, belonging to Congregation Chaverim, a Reform synagogue, in Tucson. She is Arizona's first Jewish Congresswoman.
THE COMMENTARY
This now deleted image from Sarah Palin website will be reason this terrible shooting has huge political ramifications, CNN’s Piers Morgan tweeted, linking to an image of the crosshairs map.
When Palin put crosshairs on a map, pointing to Rep. Gifford and nineteen other Democratic targets, both men and women, she urged followers to “ load and aim for Democrats”. Michael Moore tweeted.
"Congresswoman Giffords in AZ, who is ON Sarah Palin's crosshairs map was shot in the head today. Happy now Sarah?" tweeted actress, comedienne, commentator Kathy Griffin.
Keith Olbermann, said Beck and O'Reilly should apologize on air for inspiring the killer and, if they don't, their sponsors should repudiate them and President Obama should consider canceling an interview scheduled on Fox with O'Reilly on Super Bowl Sunday.
