Sarah Palin On Ferguson
[guest post by Dana]
Sarah Palin weighed in on Ferguson. Outrage ensued. This on the heels of her “latte” salute mockery of Obama in September.
And of course, if one is unable to chuckle at this or becomes agitated by it, just repeat the Sarah Palin is dumb meme and you’ll feel better about yourself:
Besides numerous quote-mark errors, the joke quote doesn’t appear to reflect reason or reality when it comes to what the president has actually said about looting in Ferguson.

Hello.
Dana (8e74ce) — 12/4/2014 @ 5:22 pmi heard food stamp hasn’t even signed an actual order for his illegal amnesties
your president is kind of a cowardly jew-hating piece of sorosfilth
he’s not particularly amusing even as the subject of clever internet memes
he’s not particularly amusing ever
he’s just a nasty nasty autocratic whore is all
happyfeet (831175) — 12/4/2014 @ 5:29 pmQuite so. He seems to have no sense if humor about himself. . I imagine him slamming his laptop closed when seeing this. I imagine GWB laughing his head off if confronted by some meme of equivalent relevance to his actions.
kishnevi (a5d1b9) — 12/4/2014 @ 5:48 pmMy favorite Ferguson meme came in the form of an actual photo of an overpass on which some people draped lights to form the wordsPants Up Don’t Loot.
Hello, Dana.
Sarah,
nk (dbc370) — 12/4/2014 @ 6:06 pmYou’re the poetry in my heart.
Never change, and never, never stop.
Who hates her worse the dems or the established rino herd?
mg (31009b) — 12/4/2014 @ 6:15 pmOh, there are lots of folks who hate Ms. Palin worse.
I think she is funny, and strong, and quite interesting. I would normally say I’m not sure she should be in government, and then I think about the people we all seem to elect…and I think again.
Simon Jester (c8876d) — 12/4/2014 @ 6:17 pmLeftists once again go out of their way to show the rest of us they have absolutely zero sense of humor.
Hoagie (4dfb34) — 12/4/2014 @ 6:35 pmToo bad she will never be able to collect the revenge due her.
mg (31009b) — 12/4/2014 @ 6:37 pmShe seems to be a little better endowed than Mitt, accounting for their chromosomal distinctions. And she does say what she thinks, which suggests she does think about things. I’m not so sure about Mitt.
bobathome (5d64cd) — 12/4/2014 @ 6:37 pmFunny stuff that bothers the racisty racist liberal Democrats who treat black folks like hot house flowers who can’t take criticism.
Over 13k murders in the USA in 2012, well over 6k of them black folks who comprise only 13% of the population. Again, nearly half the murders in America committed by folks who only make up 13% of the population. Of those 6kplus murders, over 90% committed by other black people. Average black murder victim is a 30 year old male. Leading cause of death of young black males ages 18 to 34 is not disease, not accidents but murder at the hands of another young, black male. These asshole politicians like Obama and Holder know what the real problem is and it ain’t law enforcement. They use and abuse their own people to further their corrupt political agenda and may God damn them to Hell for it.
Colonel Haiku (2601c0) — 12/4/2014 @ 6:58 pmBesides numerous inflection errors, the joke doesn’t appear to reflect reason or reality when it comes to what the governor actually said about the proximity of the 49th state to its foreign neighbor.
aunursa (932331) — 12/4/2014 @ 7:41 pmAnd just what in the He11 does that have to do with the subject at hand?
First of all, Sarah Palin said that Russia is visible from Alaska intimating that the people living in Alaska don’t think of Russia as someplace on the other side of the world;
Some twit on SNL said – playing a role as Sarah Palin in a comedic sketch – that “I can see Russia from my house”, attempting to make Gov. Palin a laughingstock for saying something so unserious.
People who repeat that endeavor only make fools of themselves.

kishnevi (294553) — 12/4/2014 @ 8:03 pmI can, when the sun is out, drive 15 miles or so, and see the Bahamas (more precisely, Nassau Light). This proximity may give me a little more information on the Bahamas than most people who do not live in Florida but hardly qualifies me as an expert. And in fact the proximity is really in the form of neighbors, coworkers, and friends who live here but came from the Bahamas
askeptic, I’m fully aware that Tina Fey said it, not Gov. Palin. I was mocking the Mediate quote. I’m sorry that I didn’t make that clear.
aunursa (932331) — 12/4/2014 @ 8:07 pmre #14: kishnevi, that wasn’t her point when she said Alaskans can see Russia. As indicated in #12 the point what the Russians were not some sort of boogy monster to her. She knew who they were and was close enough to their territory to have more than passing knowledge of what the economic interests of their North East was. And not that she was special in that, lots of Alaskans have that connection to Russian people and civics.
Tina Fey did the joke of ‘i can see Russia from my house’, as i recall the joke was actually funny in its time and place. But like ‘Judy,Judy,Judy’ the phrase got attached to the person not the mimic.
#4 ditto.

Colonel Haiku (2601c0) — 12/4/2014 @ 8:21 pmYes, but the point is the Bahamas was not a colony of South Florida, as Alaska was for 150 years, of course it was part of a very long discussion she had with Charles Gibson, which Chelian now at Yahoo News, edited into incoherence,
narciso (ee1f88) — 12/4/2014 @ 8:22 pmI’ve only been to Alaska once for a grand total of 2 weeks so obviously I’m no expert. But in the eastern side of Alaska the Russian influence left over from the time Alaska belonged to and was colonized by Russia is still very noticeable. I guarantee the kids there get taught a lot in history class about Russia (sailing and whale oil and fishing and fur and gold and architecture) and the politics that prompted them to sell Alaska to William Seward. Throughout the cold war and its nuclear threat Alaska sat thisclose to the Russian Bear. So yeah. They know little something about Russia up there.
elissa (779993) — 12/4/2014 @ 8:23 pmThe way the McCain campaign wasted the best thing to happen to it was a crime. Failing to protect her back against known and foreseeable frauds like Gibson and Couric was only a part of it.
nk (dbc370) — 12/4/2014 @ 8:25 pmSo I asked my doctor, “Doc, what are we going to do about this dangerous virus from Africa?”
Colonel Haiku (2601c0) — 12/4/2014 @ 8:33 pmHe said, “I don’t know, he has two more years in office.”
re #21: they were afraid of her. I knew about Gov. Palin before she hit the lower48 when she killed the ‘bridge to nowhere’ and was totally shocked when she was chosen as a running mate. To this day I don’t think they realized who she was and that she wasn’t an Hillary Clinton type but a Phylis Schafely type.
seeRpea (2a32aa) — 12/4/2014 @ 9:42 pmI’m glad Mrs Palin is no longer in politics as an office holder, i think she does more good as a citizen. (also, she is not really that much of a small government politician. smaller, yeah but small? nope.)
I knew about her and liked her before McCain came along. One big reason I like her is that she reminds me of another small town reform politician who was hated by the usual suspects. These are the folks who read the city check register every month and ask about mystery charges. Boy are they hated !
Palin has haters in Alaska who are either nuts (lots of them in Alaska) or related to local rivals. They are very vocal. I’m not sure she was ready to be VP, although Joe Biden shows us how low that bar is, but she is a great example of basic politics and we need more of them.
Mike K (90dfdc) — 12/4/2014 @ 10:22 pmWell, I must say that though I spent 21-months in AK at the height of the Cold War – the reports of Soviet aircraft penetrating the AK land mass (erroneous as it turned out) during the Cuban Missile Crisis did tend to get one’s attention – all of that time was spent in the Greater Anchorage area in relative peace and comfort.
askeptic (efcf22) — 12/4/2014 @ 11:09 pmI knew about her and liked her before McCain came along.
I still recall posts of yours way back in 2008, when Palin was a new fresh face and everyone at this blog was trying to figure out her strengths and weaknesses. That moment seems both not too long ago but also eons ago. We live in age of time warps, although, as the saying goes, time is relative.
To place things in blatantly gender terms, the fact a scroungy, habitual liar like Hillary Clinton is the honorary star female of Liberal-dom, while Palin is her counterpart in Conservative-dom is merely one of a million things why I lean right and, in turn, disdain the left.
Mark (c160ec) — 12/4/2014 @ 11:21 pmWash Post says Obama’s amnesty plan is “indefensible”.
Overturning and undermining local governments to interpose the Supreme Soviet might not be defensible either.

narciso (ee1f88) — 12/5/2014 @ 6:55 amSarah Palin said you could see Russia from Alaska, and you can. The international border passes between two islands (Big Diomede and little Diomede) which are located near the middle of the Bearing Strait directly West of the Seward Peninsula’s Cape Wales. Danish explorer Vitus Bering found the islands in 1728 on the Russian Orthodox Feast Day of Saint Diomede and named them in his honor.
Distance between the islands is about 2.4 miles and are easily visible to each other on clear days. Big Diomede is sometimes called Tomorrow Island and Little Diomede is called Yesterday Island because the International Date Line also passes between them.
Historically significant, the islands are considered visible remains of the land-bridge which once connected Siberia and Alaska. In most winters an ice bridge still develops between the 2 islands, US residents of the native village on the west side of Little Diomede could walk to Big Diomede if the Russians would allow it but it’s strictly forbidden. During the Cold War it was referred to as the Ice Curtain.
The border between the US and Russia was established at the time of the Alaska Purchase in 1867. The US paid $7.2 million. Additionally the islands also mark the the Chukchi Sea to the north and the Bearing Sea to the South.
Sarah Palin lives in the Wasilla Valley just north of Anchorage, well over 650 miles as the crow flies, from the Diomedes, which is a greater distance than from Los Angeles to San Francisco. From Wasilla you can’t see Anchorage, even the best of views in the Wasilla Valley extend only to the crests of the surrounding mountains.
Tina Fey put her own stupid words in Sarah Palin’s mouth and then proceeded to ridicule Palin for something she never said. If what goes around comes around, one day someone will blindside Tina Fey, unfairly lower the boom on her, and she’ll deserve it. People who can’t see beyond the end of their nose can’t see what’s just around the corner either.

Well, this is the story:
http://www.snopes.com/politics/palin/russia.asp
Tina Fey, parodying Sarah Palin, had her say: “I can see Russia from my home.” She never said that.
What Sarah Palin had actually said was that she had some foreign policy experience, or
knowledge, because she’s had to deal with Russia – in some negotiations about fishing or mineral rights or something, and that is true.
Apparently on an ABC interview, this wss already in the background.
In later years, Sarah Palin, playing to an audience, would sometimes sort of acknowledge this thing about seeing Russia or something close to it, so that helped confuse people as to what she’s actually said, and what Tina Fey had parodied her saying.
Sammy Finkelman (7e7e58) — 12/5/2014 @ 7:46 amyeah something like that:

CrustyB (69f730) — 12/5/2014 @ 10:01 amnarciso, your links at #33 & 34 leave little doubt no GOP candidate should ever grant an interview to anyone from the MSM.
If asked Why? the answer should be Obviously, they can’t be trusted. They’re shamelessly blatant shills for the Democrat Party. Trusting those two-faced deceivers is tantamount to swallowing poison. Look at what they did to Sarah Palin, put words in her mouth, lied about her up one side and down the other, then viciously smeared her children for months on end. And recall what Candy Crawley did to Mitt Romney in the Presidential Debates. She lied on national TV, she contradicted Romney to protect Barack Obama’s from the consequences of his own lies. No, no interviews for employees of the wholly owned subsidiary of the Democrat Party.

Well, two, if you count the wrong-facing one. But “numerous” implies more than two. Pdrhaps they are quibbling about a style guide, where you use single quotes in an embedded quote.
Why does this remind me of juvenile spelling flamewars circa 1979.
