[bluestateguy]

1. She has now caused an international incident

So I guess now she does have some foreign policy experience.

[Iterate]

14. I can't imagine this isn't going to cause trouble in the morning.

Maybe not in the morning press - it's too late - but they will take notice and it won't be pretty. State will be busy for weeks putting out this fire. Nice job mayor.

[DarthDem]

2. Deer. Headlights.

Disaster. That sound you just heard was a toilet flushing the Goopers down on November 4.

[aquart]

34. Are you sure they'll find anything wrong with what she said?

Because I'm not.

[DarthDem]

37. Who's They? n/t

[aquart]

47. I think I'm afraid to know.

It's a black day and I'm in a black, weepy mood and it's probably a very good thing I'm not God.

[BeyondGeography]

3. Did I just see a deer looking in the headlights?

What a joke.

[Art_from_Ark]

39. More like a moose

This Alaskan moose seems to think she's Bullwinkle tussling with Boris Badanov.

[Zombie2]

4. This shit is surreal...

:wow:

[mrfocus]

5. To rational people, she sounds batshit crazy

To the GOP base, she sounds "tough" in that simian "bring 'em on" sense of the word. They'll eat it up. Our only hope are rational independents who understand how critically dangerous it would be to have this religous extremist in the White House.

[Duke Newcombe]

6. Obama team: Make the ad. Make it now.

An individual, a heartbeat away from the presidency, advocating the possibility of nuclear war with US? ZOMG!!!! Series!!:1???

This comment is just BEGGING for exploitation.

Duke

[ryanmuegge]

26. Don't count on it. It may actually be a legitimate criticism of opponents. Obama doesn't do those.

You must be thinking of another candidate. Even Biden has turned into a pussy and to think he played such an "outspoken, straight-talking tough guy" on the Sunday morning soap ope...I mean talk shows... What a fucking disgrace.


But, yeah, with a team trying to win, they would certainly attack this as being out of touch with the mainstream. Though who knows, since the media has told the public we have won the "war" in Iraq for the past year and a half, the American public might be back to their old bloodthirsty, vile, warlike mentality.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

31. -1

[ryanmuegge]

36. Yeah, I wish the real evidence proved me as wrong as you claim, but it unfortunately does not.

Obama has given one tough speech and then let the McCain campaign attack the living shit out of him for nearly two weeks.

COME ON! Our opponents are fucking laughable. We could attack them all day for their flip-flops, corruption, inteptitude, and God knows what else, but he chooses not to. Remember how far that got John Kerry? Remember how that lame-ass "I am reporting for duty, and I'm only going to talk about what I can do, not attack the other side" shit got him?

You can't tell me that if you were Obama that you would run the campaign the same way he has. At least I hope not. I'm sure you would be attacking and criticizing a lot more than Obama has.

[sudopod]

40. 0/10 nt

[ryanmuegge]

45. So you think Obama is being as tough as he should be?

You think being on defense and taking no chances is a winning strategy? You obviously don't know the American electorate. We have to work with the public we have, not the one we wish we had. Attacking gets results.

[sudopod]

53. I get over 9000 emails a day from Barack

telling it how it is.

I can only imagine that reporters get even more.

Also, attacking =! being a boorish asshole. Subtle distinction, but true.

[ryanmuegge]

55. Just nail McCain with the truth in a direct, forceful way. That's all he has to do.

If he's agressive enough, the press will almost have to cover it. It's about the corruption. Plus, he could connect the recent oil sex scandal back to the McCain campaign if he tried hard enough. That's a fucking sex scandal. The public and the media would be all over it. Being a boorish asshole gets results. We need to be boorish toward these corrupt, inexperienced, inept thugs who want to impoverish the country and kill children abroad.

[stckyfngz]

60. Re: Obama team: Make the ad. Make it now

hopefully someone will

[MiniMe]

7. So I guess her cramming has gotten past "What is NATO"

Does she even realize what she said?

[liberalcanuck]

18. How much more like Chimpy can she be? Mooselini defined Nato...

the way the Chimp defined sovereignty. Remember this gem?

"Tribal sovereignty means that; it's sovereign. I mean, you're a — you've been given sovereignty, and you're viewed as a sovereign entity. And therefore the relationship between the federal government and tribes is one between sovereign entities." —President Bush, Washington

[Duke Newcombe]

62. My goodness. It's like she digested an encyclopedia.

That's cramming--not leadership.

Duke

[DUlover2909]

8. Remember that game where you had to shoot down incoming warheads?

What was that game called? Anyway, I loved that game. It will be cool to see it in action for real. Wars are exciting and fun! They give me something to watch on TV. I'm bored with regular TV.

[JBoy]

19. You're thinking of Missile Command

[kayell]

24. "Shock and Awe" looked really COOL on tv from Iraq

Just imagine how much fun it will be when we can see it up close and personal. WHOA, what a RUSH!

[Aviation Pro]

9. No, Stupid Sarah, member not ally....

...you are a fucking moron...

[phycomycetes]

43. As far as I know, Georgia is not a NATO member...

...but an aspirant!

[krkaufman]

52. Right, but she's saying both Georgia and Ukraine *should* be made members of NATO ...

... and that, fer sher, if they're attacked by Russia we'd be required by treaty to come to their defense.

[thunder rising]

10. It's obvious that Palin hasn't a clue of the situation.

We stood toe to toe with them for years and in case she missed the point that means THEY stood toe to toe with us.

Russia ain't like Saddam, we won't unload the ships. The troops will die in the water and nukes will fly.

There is no way to defend Georgia...there just isn't.

[kayell]

11. CG: What insight into Russian actions, particularly in the last few weeks

does the proximity of this state give you?

SP: They're our next door neighbors and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska.

CG: Do you favor putting Georgia and Ukraine into Nato?

SB: Ukraine, definitely yes, yeah. and Georgia. If Putin thinks otherwise, obviously he thinks otherwise.

CG: of the Nato treaty, wouldn't we then have to go to war if Russia went into Georgia?

SB: Perhaps so, I mean, that is the agreement when you are a Nato ally, it, is if another country is attacked you're going to be expected to be called upon and help.


OMG. OMG. OMG.

Somebody who makes Georgie boy look like a towering intellect.

[organic produce]

15. Called upon...

I love that expression... If you're called upon then...Well dear, the world calls upon you to shave your hairy ass and go back to Pussilla..

[kayell]

16. We need to rec this thread, and we need to rate up that video over on Youtube

People are rating it down over there, presumably because it is so damn bad. But we NEED to rate it up so as many people as possible see it.

OMG, she is even more terrifyingly clueless than I thought. And I agree with the poster who noted that she has just created an international incident. If McCain doesn't come out and disavow this ASAP, he is both incredibly, suicidally stupid, but is seriously going to make the situation even worse.

Oops, meant respond to the main thread.

[Postman]

21. Sarah, would it be "GOD's WILL"?

this woman is no where near qualified to be VP.

[Kali]

12. OMG

:wow: "you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska"

She is dumber than Dumbya. :puke:

[Mother Of Four]

49. Sure you CANNNNNNN!

I'll just bet she spends all summer on Lil Diomede lookin out across the water to Big Diomede Island....


Her and the Russians...THIS (crossing fingers) close!

[Duke Newcombe]

63. ...and you REALLY have to TRY to do that. n/t

Duke

[organic produce]

13. So much for her diplomatic skills...

Yikes, this won't play too well with her neighbors...

[APPLE_PIE]

17. Three world wars in 30 minutes.

W.T.F.




APPLE_PIE

[Postman]

20. No. Georgia and the Ukraine SHOULD NOT be in NATO.

no more than Canada or Mexico should have been in the Warsaw Pact.

C'mon people. WTF is the US trying to do with this shit? This isn't a game.

If the Russians set up shop in Cuba with nukes again could you blame them?

The United States is out of control.

[lilyannerose]

She's So Damned Staged

This is not only bat dung but it's a pathetic performance as well. Had the feeling that it's the first time she used some of the vocabulary in public.

[patrice]

22. In the-fuck way over her head. What does seeing Russia from Alaska have to do with anything?

[frog92969]

23. K&R for the blatant immaturity.

She sounds like Buffy the Vladamir Slayer...or some princess on the middle school playground.

[Caretha]

27. That's exactly what she sounds like

I could not have put it better.

[frog92969]

32. And we were pissed knowing ABC would lob softballs.

That's all it took for her to look like a complete moron.
I hope Joe has fun bumping heads with a hollow melon.
:rofl:

[myrna minx]

25. Her ignorant self is suppose to be a heartbeat away from the Presidency?

:scared:

[kayell]

28. Sarah Strangelove

New nickname awarded over on the comments on YouTube.

[pyro858]

29. Wow, Palin is SUPERWOMAN

Does she walk on water too?

[pauldg0]

58. The Russians must be laughing their asses off about this...

John McCain has virtually let other nations, Russia and even terrorists realize we have a weakened link in our process to elect a president. In retrospect he has compromised our national security just by nominating her! Many do not see this, but in my opinion John McCain is a TRAITOR! What an narcissistic ass....he's not for America!!

Heaven forbid, if something happened to either or both of our candidates. I think now the secret service should be double staffed.

I hope a lot of you read this. It can be used against him!!

[LynneSin]

30. I can see New Jersey from my office window, doesn't give me insight into what Corzine is doing

:grr:

[Chisox08]

33. Cheney in Lipstick

Or was that a pig. I get confused sometimes.

Why in the hell does she want war with Russia. We haven't even finished the two wars we are fighting now.

[kayell]

38. She's actually managing to make Cheney look sane, and Georgie boy look bright. nt

[Chisox08]

42. And I thought that doing both of those was impossible.

She proved me wrong. She proved that she is dumber than Bush and more blood thirsty the Cheney.

[Divine Discontent]

35. THIS IS A PREFECT JOB BY PALIN

to show how incompetent she is and dangerous.... hope you wake up to her ignorance, whatever couple of independents who might be reading these forums!

[Jade Fox]

41. This seems like a deal breaker to me....

Does Palin really think Americans want another war when we're going broke in Iraq with no end in sight??

Oh, and what happened to "Country First"??

[eleny]

44. Maybe Biden can help pull her ass out of the fire

:rofl:

[paparush]

46. But..but..but..she can SEE Russia from land in Alaska. Maybe she's looked into Russia's soul

when she wasn't busy slaughtering large carnivores from the air. ("You just have to lead them a little less")

[krkaufman]

51. What I want to see....

Bill Maher, Daily Show or Colbert ('cause the corp. media won't) send a team to some Alaskan town closest to Russia and ask the citizens questions on Russian foreign policy. According to Palin and McCain, the closer you are geographically to Russia, the more you know.

[phycomycetes]

48. Can't see the video...

not even on youtube :-(
so I looked what people where posting there... found this (hope the author doesn't mind):


-Ms Smith, do you have happy family?
-Oh, YES! I have three sons and great husband!
-Where are they now?
-My youngest son John is now in US Army in Iraq. My second son Mike is now in Afghanistan. My oldest son Bill is now in Georgia.
-Where is your husband, Ms Smith?
-He is traveling around the world with the lecture: "Stop Russia from invasion to other countries"


:blush: :eyes:

[krkaufman]

50. I'm sure the nuance-haters ate that crap up.

... but I saw it her response as simplistic and dangerous. (a moose in a china shop)

[liberal N proud]

54. AAAAAAAAaaarrrrrrrrrrrr gggggghh

No I don't feel any better but god that is one bat-shit crazy woman

[Amonester]

56. the top of the military *would* NEVER "accept" that creep as their...

CIC

too much moronic *fantasies*

[provis99]

57. well, why the fuck aren't the Democrats pointing this insanity out?

Jesus Frickin' Christ, we're wussing out again. We're going to lose this election to a doddering, angry old maniac and a dimwit Creationist warmonger, if we don't start attacking without mercy or scruples!

Get on the game Obama and Biden!

[casus belli]

59. "We can see the Russians from here, Charlie....plotting"

"Would I use newks on Russia Cherlie? Shewer. We've got to protect the interests of Aleskah and the whole rest of the Euwnited Stetes too Cherlie"

God. Is this really happening?

[Douglas Carpenter]

61. RECOMMEND!! RECOMMEND!!! RECOMMEND!!! NOW THIS NEEDS TO BE PUSHED TO THE TOP NOW!!!!
