When Governor Palin confidently stepped up to the podium at the Nashville Tea Party Convention last week and began her passionate address to an enthusiastic crowd with a scathing rebuke of Obama’s perilous foreign policy, I knew it was only a matter of time before we’d hear from them.
No, I am not talking about the vast, elite liberal intelligentsia that has for the most part, abandoned any pretense of objectivity in favor of raw contempt for the moose-huntin’ mom from Wasilla. I’d actually be disappointed if the usual suspects on the left failed to pounce on the “dumb” woman whose every move they scrutinize with an intensity best reserved for oh — I don’t know — presidential candidates with questionable (at best) associations?
So it was no surprise when the hypocritical, left-leaning media hammered Palin for scribbling a few notes on her hand as a prompt for remembering the points she wanted to cover in her speech. Yes, their chosen one can use a teleprompter that scripts every word, line and pause in the deliverance of everything from a press conference to a talk with elementary school children — and that is somehow evidence of his remarkable, superhuman intelligence. But the former Governor of Alaska jots a couple of notes on her palm, and it’s proof of her astonishing ignorance.
Plain is a bloodthristy warmongering neocon airhead, and misguided Christian…she'll do anything her CFR handlers tell her to do.
Hey Dave, are you so blinded and bitter that you can't see her for who see really is and only what you want to see with a closed mind. I suggest you take a bi-partisan stance and back up your claims that you hold fast to. This is coming from an independent voter, social liberal and fiscal conservative. It is commonly the name calling, hate and fear coming from folks like yourself that gives you guys a bad name and you loose all respect for. An everyday traditional American mom who speaks from her heart to the average American whom i might add most agree with her because she is the real thing and could very well be our next Regan but perhaps your kind thinks Regan was an Airhead as well. What about Newt Gingrich? A very intelligent man who studies history and has more common sense then most politicians i know of. Also, writing a note on someones hand does not make them stupid. As human beings we tend to forget things and sometimes we write on a note pad and if in a rush with no note pad, we write on our hands. Think about that one, please. BTW, i am no Bush fan.
Yeah Dave, Sarah was just using an analog version of the teleprompter when she wrote on her hand.
