   Nice call, but don’t hold your breath. Money talks to Sister Sarah.

   Wait till Sarah speaks.

   People who could not spell the word vote…

   iow, “Hello, Teabaggers!”

   …a committed socialist ideologue…

   iow, “Whoops, sorry about that. It means ‘bad man’.”

   I am amazed at the amount of attention this gathering of whack jobs is getting. But, yes, Sarah Palin should repudiate this Tancredo nonsense, which I understand was wildly cheered by the crowd. This is unAmerican.

   There is no place in America for this type of racial and ethnic hate-mongering.

   Obama spent over 20 years as a member of the racist TUCC group, and was elected president…

  Thanks for this Garlin — now that Palin cares about speech’n'all, she should have plenty of opportunities to denounce bad language when Republicans AND Democrats do it. Or, one would think anyway.

  It was repeated annually in our compliance meeting.

13. Badwater February 5th, 2010 at 4:15 pm «

    Palin will be happy to cancel her appearance and speech at the conference if it pays her more to cancel it.
14. EdwardTeller February 5th, 2010 at 4:24 pm «

    Palin won’t cancel.

    The two big stories emerging on her yesterday and today are a tax avoidance scam regarding a cabin she, Todd and one of her former lovers share up near Denali Park. Mostly local ramifications.

    The other has local and national ramifications. This morning MSNBC provided links to:

    Nearly 3,000 pages of e-mails that Todd Palin exchanged with state officials, which were released to msnbc.com and NBC News by the state of Alaska under its public records law, draw a picture of a Palin administration where the governor’s husband got involved in a judicial appointment, monitored contract negotiations with public employee unions, received background checks on a corporate CEO, added his approval or disapproval to state board appointments and passed financial information marked “confidential” from his oil company employer to a state attorney.

    Some of Palin’s least favorite blogs, Palingates and Bree Palin, in particular, are asking their readers’ help in parsing this huge volume of material. NBC is also asking for help, and is waiting on release of more:

    A broader request by msnbc.com and other news organizations for all e-mails sent and received by the governor and about 50 top officials — about 25,000 in all — is still pending. Last week, Sarah Palin’s former staff, now working for Gov. Sean Parnell, requested additional time, as required by the public records law, to respond.

    Of interest to the progressive Alaskan bloggers who have made similar but smaller records requests, is that the State charged us (Linda Kellen, for example) thousands of dollars for far smaller sets, but only billed MSNBC about $300.

• EdwardTeller February 5th, 2010 at 4:37 pm «

  it’s a joke, my friend, but the ADN is probably not going to make it through 2010. It isn’t entirely their fault, though. McClatchy has bled them dry to help keep McC afloat in their sea of debt.

• Garlin Gilchrist II February 6th, 2010 at 6:53 am «

  Thanks Elliot & Jane. I’ll probably listen on C-SPAN. Palin may surprise us and only put her foot in her mouth 10 times rather than the expected 11.

    I’m gonna talk a little smack to the FDLers. If you get your knickers in a knot over it then – Mission Accomplished…

    “There is no place in America for this type of racial and ethnic hate-mongering.”

    No shit Sherlock! And what do progressives do about this and all the other obstructionist issues spewing forth from the bat-shit crazies and rethug brown shirts on the hill? We post snarky comments to each other on on sites like FDL and think we are doing something “progressive”.

    Well I say Horse Shit to that!

    If you’re gonna make a difference then lets get active and aim all our snarkiness and mocking at the MSM TV outlets and others like ClusterFOX News who serve as uncritical echo chambers for the right-wing distortions and delusions. Make it count – Bust their balls about how they are being nothing but shills for the right by never doing fact checks or allowing “guests” to spew distorted talking points without calling them on it.

    Remember folks – We have to defend deMOCracy one MOCK at a time. It’s time we point our “net roots” clarity where it will do the most good – AT THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA!
