This Never Gets Old

by John Cole

Any chance anyone in the media will call her out on this bullshit:

Former Alaska GOP Gov. Sarah Palin on Monday accused President Barack Obama of not acknowledging the sacrifices made by the men and women in the U.S. military.

“There’s been a lack of acknowledgment by our president in understanding what it is that the American military provides in terms of, obviously, the safety, the security of our country,” Palin said during an interview with Fox News’s Greta Van Susteren. “I want him to acknowledge the sacrifices that these individual men and women — our sons, our daughters, our moms, our dads, our brothers and sisters — are providing this country to keep us safe.”

“They’re making sacrifices,” said Palin, who visited the Army base at Fort Bragg on Monday as part of her ongoing book tour. “They’re putting so much on hold right now so that the homeland can be safe and they can fight for democratic ideals around our world. I want to see more acknowledgment and more respect given to them.”

What a detestable human being. And seriously, how about a big FU to John McCain?

I’m seriously so sick and tired of these people. Visit the troops and you are accused of using them as a photo op. Spend one day not genuflecting to the troops, you are accused of ignoring them. I seriously hate wingnuts.

And again, where is the media? When did it become acceptable for this kind of rhetoric to be tossed around?

Her stupidity stems from the fact that she thinks that this sort of ugliness is acceptable.

3. So what if it's true or not?

Our Sarah's base loves her for her maverick-y maverickness. Let us not quibble over "truth" or whether "reality" backs up her word salad talking points. And please, let us have no taint of "facts" deter us from the adulation Sarah is entitled to.

Daily Kos had a very telling video of a book signing stop in Columbus OH or some such place. The interviewer strayed into argumentation a couple of times, but overall it was an astonishing example of just letting people talk. Low information would hardly describe these people, as they all said that Sarah Palin was an unstoppable political juggernaut who had all the answers. When the interviewer asked just what it was about Sarah they liked, you could hear the sand stopping the gear works. "So, what foreign policy position of Sarah Palin's do you like best?" Uhm, er, you know, I don't really know any of her foreign policy positions.
