How do you debate people who seek to attack Governor Sarah Palin?
Our good friend Patricia sent in the following email exchange that recently transpired between a neighbor, Anne, and herself, with Anne engaging in attacks on Governor Sarah Palin that seem oddly familiar…because they’re almost word-for-word lifted from the media’s usual talking points.
Patricia is no shrinking violet and didn’t take any gruff from Anne. She defended Governor Palin and debated Anne in a calm and reasoned way, which drove Anne into emotional territory where she stooped to expletives and other irrationality that just made her look foolish (more so than usual, according to Patricia).
I’ve reprinted the exchange below to give you an idea how YOU too can counter these tired and familiar attacks on Governor Palin, whether they come to you in email exchanges or happen in the grocery store, at the park, or in the coffee room at the office.
You’re going to keep seeing this same garbage recycled repeatedly for the next year…so it’s important to get in your own mindset to refudiate it.
Wink.

1992: Georgia joins the United Nations. Meanwhile, somewhere in Alabama, jealousy simmers.
1971: Apollo 15 astronauts use a moon rover for the first time in human history. Glorified golf carts will never be cooler.
1790: First US patent issued to inventor Samuel Hopkins for a potash process, proving unequivocably how wild about potassium mining the Founding Fathers really were.
1588: Spanish Armada first spotted off the coast of England. Further south, at least 101 dogs spotted on coastline of Dalmatia.
1201: Attempted assassination of John Komnenos the Fat (a Byzantine noble with an ignoble name).
How different our world would be if people had no last names and were still described the way they were in 1201. Just imagine how fun it would be following politics, and the misadventures of Nancy the Stupid or Harry the Foolish in Congress…or Michelle the Ridiculously-Attired in the East Wing…or Barack the Unicorn-Riding in the Oval Office.
What are some names you’d give members of Congress you know and love tolerate? Keep it clean…lest you forever be known as So-and-So the Potty-mouthed from here on out!
Welfare fraud exposed by Judge Judy.
(h/t Moonbattery)
Update: It appears that SOMEONE got in trouble for this video (perhaps Mr. Brooks is now being investigated for welfare fraud.) The clip has mysteriously disappeared from You Tube due to “copyright” BS. I don’t believe that for a minute.
You can still see the video here: http://revolutionarypolitics.tv/video/viewVideo.php?video_id=15915
This is what Obama and the Democrats have created. This is why we are in a debt crisis right now. This fool is the reason we need the debt ceiling increased…so he can live the high life off other peoples’ money.
Our government is considering cutting off pay for Veterans, benefits to seniors, pay for our military who are fighting the war on terror in Iraq and Afghanistan while this little bottom-feeder is buying dinner and buying clothes with OUR tax dollars.
This idiot should be in jail for robbery.
ACTION ITEM: How to creatively nudge Independents and non-cultish Obama 2008 voters to recognize and internalize their disappointment in “The One”
Have you been following Oprah’s seismic, schadenfreude-friendly, belly flop of failure that is the OWN (Oprah’s Weird Noises) network?
Despite Oprah personally investing nearly 20 hours each day inventing newer, even weirder noises to make (and both Gayle King and Stedman Graham on dedicated all-chili diets assisting her, with relish), OWN is watched by fewer people today than back when it was the Amish Carpentry Channel or the HD Paint Drying Network, whatever it was called before Oprah put her unique stamp on it and declared herself Empress Of All Paid Cable Television.
Oprah’s an empress without clothes, however — which is a horrifying and stomach turning thought in this particular case, as Oprah’s clothes bravely protect the world from so, so much — because the long-perpetuated-in-the-media conceit that everything this Charybdis touched turns to gold ended up being a lot more like rock pyrite. That’s fool’s gold. Chicago swill. Winfrey’s windy folly.
Are you planning on being in Des Moines, Iowa on September 3rd to witness history being made?
Yesterday, I guest-hosted on the radio with Megan Fox, who thinks that Congresswoman Michele Bachmann’s place in the nascent Republican presidential race means that Govnernor Sarah Palin won’t be running for president in 2012.
I think Governor Palin is already running for president, and that Congresswoman Bachmann is one of her stalking horses in the race (I’d also love to see a vote of no confidence in John Boehner, with Bachmann staging a tea-steeped revolt in Congress and emerging triumphantly as the new Speaker of the House).
Think about this: for all the attacks made on Governor Palin trying to convince Americans she’s some sort of extremist, Congresswoman Bachmann’s clearly more to the right in policy and tone. Bachmann’s also more combatative (which is not a bad thing, believe me) and doesn’t have quite the same savvy in connecting with people on a large scale. Bachmann inspires supporters, while Palin fires up thousands to wait hours in the cold to see her. Everything that Bachmann is, Palin is more of, in all the right ways.
No wonder there’s so much voter fraud in Illinois: illegal aliens running early voting polling places in Chicago
Please become familiar with the organization Defend the Vote here in Illinois: it is the best-organized effort I have yet seen dedicated to combatting voter fraud in this corrupt and Leftist-controlled state.
Have you ever watched shows like “Hoarders” on Hulu, where some hapless soul’s entire existence was swallowed by the junk and clutter that filled their home suffocating all life out of it? And then in walks the decluttering team, dispatched to put things right and rescue that week’s hoarding victim.
I would have no idea where to start to begin to clean up that much filth and trash, but amazingly enough these teams of experts do it…making the impossible a reality on TV 22 episodes a season.
In real life, voter fraud is so rampant in a state like Illinois that it’s hard for an average citizen to even begin to understand where to start in terms of preventing the Left and the Labor Unions from stealing elections for Democrats.
“The Undefeated” Sarah Palin Documentary Full Synopsis With Spoilers
I highly encourage all of you to seek out Stephen Bannon’s excellent documentary of Governor Sarah Palin, “The Undefeated”, wherever it is playing near you while it is still in theaters. Watching the film with strangers, hearing their reactions to the Governor’s speeches and personal history, and having this chance to connect with other Palin supporters on the ground is a terrific experience — and a great chance to network with new friends you may just spend a lot of time with on the campaign trail next year.
The film’s official site is here, with an always-updated list of theaters where it’s playing.
After the documentary leaves theaters, it will apparently be shown on DirectTV and Pay-Per-View and will presumably be available in various formats at different Palin events or through SarahPAC itself.
For those of you who would love to see the film today, if it was within driving distance of you, but can’t for whatever reason, I’ve taken the time to put together this detailed synopsis — that is of course chock full of “spoilers”. Which, to be honest, aren’t spoilers at all for anyone who’s been paying attention to politics for the last few years. You know Governor Palin’s story if you’ve been a supporter of hers, so the film might not teach you much you don’t already know…but I think it’s a great chance to see favorite lines from the Governor’s speeches, remember the key moments of her political career, and feel inspired by the Governor’s decades-long battle against the Cocktail Party GOP establishment and the Left it enables.
Saturday Open Thread: July 30th, 2011
Sexy Harry
(thanks Indy for this pic)
What do you think Harry Reid is doing this weekend?
What are his weekend plans? A barbeque and beer party with his wild friends? Going to Ocean City, Maryland to party on the boardwalk? Maybe hanging out in Georgetown with some college co-ed’s in summer school?
Go ahead…give it your best guess.
What are you doing this weekend?
It’s hot as the blue blazes here in Dixie so life has slowed to a crawl until fall.
What’s on your minds this Saturday?
What are people talking about in your part of the world?
This is why I love South Carolina.
Protests by the NAACP
South Carolina continues to prove itself to be one tough little state with one tough governor. It refuses to be pushed around by special interest groups or union thugs. The latest group to try and tell South Carolina what to do is the NAACP. A Confederate flag has been flown at the north end of the Statehouse since 2000. The flag had been flying on top of the Statehouse since 1962 but had to be moved to the north end as a response to protests by the NAACP. Now they don’t want the flag anywhere near the Statehouse. The president of the NAACP Benjamin Jealous thinks that since Nikki Haley comes from Indian descent, she should understand what it is like to be oppressed by “colonials” and she should be sensitive to how blacks feel about the Confederate flag.
While addressing a crowd at the NAACP conference in LA, Jealous had this to say…
“Perhaps one of the most perplexing examples of the contradictions of this moment in history is that Nikki Haley, South Carolina’s first governor of color, continues to fly the Confederate flag in front of her state’s capitol. Given the similarities between our struggles to end slavery and segregation, and her ancestors’ struggle to end British colonialism and oppression in India, my question to Governor Haley is one that Dr. King often asked himself: ‘What would Gandhi do?’” Jealous said.
South Carolina’s first governor of color? Do you consider Nikki Haley a person of color? I sure don’t. She’s a South Carolina native who’s parents happen to be from India. Her skin is paler than mine.
Haley’s office says that the issue was already settled over 10 years ago and it shouldn’t be brought up again…
“More than a decade ago, under the leadership of a Democratic governor, South Carolinian Republican and Democrat, black and white, came to a compromise position on the Confederate flag,” said Haley press secretary, Rob Godfrey.
“Many people were uncomfortable with that compromise, but it addressed a sensitive subject in a way that South Carolina as a whole could accept. We don’t expect people from outside of the state to understand that dynamic, but revisiting that issue is not part of the governor’s agenda,” Godfrey said
So…of course….the NAACP is boycotting the state (except for the money the blacks are getting from the Pigford scam…they aren’t boycotting that). I didn’t know this but since 2001, the NCAA won’t hold any tournaments in the state because the Confederate flag is flying on the grounds of the Statehouse.
Instead of being proud of their heritage and how far they have come, the NAACP continues to incite turmoil and hatred wherever they go. They don’t want their people to succeed because…well…then Benjamin Jealous would be out of a job. (and Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton and Jeremiah Wright and probably Barack Obama too)
Good for South Carolina for standing up to the NAACP, the NCAA and the union thugs who don’t want the Boeing plant moved there.
You are a shining example of why I am proud to be a Southerner.
Go Nikki Go!
The Megan Fox Show Friday 7/29/11
I co-hosted the Megan Fox Show this afternoon: here’s a link to listen.
We discussed David Wu, the Cocktail Party GOP establishment, gay bullying of conservatives, Michele Bachmann and the Left’s attacks on her, Governor Palin’s continued strength in the face of nonstop assault from the Left, and the ongoing black-on-gay violence happening in Boystown.
Check it out and chime in below with any feedback.
