Sarah Palin Shouts Into The Great GOP Divide
Hold the presses! Sarah Palin has Facebooked again! This time she's not taking on the President, but going full-tilt Palin against the so-called "cannibals" in the GOP establishment, who is mercilessly, relentlessly doing their best to pile on Newt Gingrich to force him out of the race in order to make room for their nominee apparent.
As usual, Queen Sarah has couched her complaint in the envelope of a threat.
Newt is an imperfect vessel for Tea Party support, but in South Carolina the Tea Party chose to get behind him instead of the old guard’s choice. In response, the GOP establishment voices denounced South Carolinian voters with the same vitriol we usually see from the left when they spew hatred at everyday Americans “bitterly clinging” to their faith and their Second Amendment rights. The Tea Party was once again told to sit down and shut up and listen to the “wisdom” of their betters. We were reminded of the litany of Tea Party endorsed candidates in 2010 who didn’t win. Well, here’s a little newsflash to the establishment: without the Tea Party there would have been no historic 2010 victory at all.
I confess, it's been fun to watch what I predicted two years ago come to pass. It was one thing to sweep in a bunch of newbies on the flood of rabid John Birchers and far-right conservatives in a midterm, and entirely another to do it in a general election. Imperfect as he may be, Mitt Romney is the anointed heir to the nomination, having walked the requisite path of being Mr. Number Two in 2008, having at least a few years in public office, and most of all, having a whole lot of his own money. Now the Great Divide has burst wider than the parting of the Red Sea, and Republicans have a problem. A big one.
Palin has stood on the sidelines for months, ever since she decided not to put forward her own candidacy, and I believe it was so she could be the agitator pushing conservatives away from the mainstream candidate toward one of her choosing. And for whatever reason, Sarah has chosen Newt. Via The Politico:
In her latest appearance, Palin stated: “Look at Newt Gingrich, what’s going on with him via the establishment’s attacks,” she said, though the original question was about Ron Paul. “They’re trying to crucify this man and rewrite history and rewrite what it is that he has stood for all these years.”
Palin then called conservative writer Peggy Noonan “hypocritical” for recently calling Gingrich an “angry little attack muffin.”
“They maybe subscribe such characterization of Newt via words like that, but they don’t subscribe those to say Mitt Romney when he or his surrogates do the same thing,” she said. “That’s that typical hypocrisy stuff in the media that I’ve lived with over a couple of decades in the political arena. So I’m used to it.”
“But in order to help educate the rest of the American public, I’ll articulate that it is hypocritical of the media to subscribe to one candidate and not another, that kind of angry attack muffin verbiage to one and not the other.
I actually agree with her on some of her points, which should scare you as much as it scares me. After Gingrich won South Carolina, the mainstream Republican establishment went wild. From Chris Christie to John McCain to Dick Morris to Peggy Noonan, there is abject terror within the ranks of GOP operatives about what threat Newt Gingrich might be to the fraying threads of the Republican mainstream establishment.
I keep seeing one trotted out after the next, from Elliot Abrams to Joe Scarborough, each with their own gossipy "why I hate Newt Gingrich: story and then look over at Mitt Romney and realize that whether or not he's mainstream or not, he's just an incredibly weak candidate. He doesn't lie well, he's the Richie Rich of the 2012 election cycle in a time where people are sick of being exploited by the investor class, and he's got absolutely zero empathy or people skills.
It's a long Klown Kar ride ahead, I think.
Guess she's still got her fux gig playing bad cop. Won't last much longer.

not a facelife, just using her

...her hair pulled into that topknot, and pulling all that menopausal facial skin along with it.
If she keeps getting Botox treatments and continues with the topknot look, it won't be long before she looks like this.
Pretty sure she meant to say "vitriol we usually see spewed at the left..."
Sorry, Sarah. Second place one more time.
palin must be shouting into
that great vacuous space
between her ears.
And I thought that the earpiece she had on was to hear the other person. But now I understand it was merely an echo reduction measure. Thanx for the clarification.
Hey Sarah , they brought the curtain down , the audience has left , your gig over , STFU and go home you idiot .
Insanity , it is what it is , there is no understanding it .
Still sniping from up there in the 'cookoo's nest' is she... Thanks - please keep it up.

Well what may have been a victory for the Tea Party was also a drubbing for the American people.
and how I hate it the sound of her voice...she is so irrelevant, has no one shown her the memo, she is passe!

Doubtful. Remember, these same people were behind McCain in '08 and only really went off their rocker when Obama was elected. (Actually, they were already off their rocker before that, they just rolled across the floor into the furnace, scorched their asses and ran screaming into the streets when Obama was elected). So, if Mittens is elected he'll choose "Sanctimonious" Santorum" or Herman "Mark of Cain" as his running mate and the TeaBirchers will flock to their new shepherd ready to lead them to the slaughter.
Hopefully humanity will one day learn to be humane.
McCain is campaigning for Romney while Sarah is out cheerleading for Newt. Once again, Moderate McCain finds himself on the other side of the Teabag.
I wonder if David Gregory will bother to ask McCain on his 983rd appearance on MtP tomorrow if he STILL thinks picking Sarah for VP was "the best decision he ever made"?

And there are a good number of people who were/are pushing for Hillary Clinton to primary Obama. In both cases it has very little to do with policy differences and much more about style. People see Mitt as soft just as they see Obama as a compromiser. People see Newt as a tough fighter just as many see Hillary as a tough fighter.
Ideologically, Miit/Newt and Obama/Hillary are very similar. It's not like Mitt v. Ron Paul or Obama v Dennis Kucinich which would be a sign of ideological divide.
Hopefully humanity will one day learn to be humane.
If I thought McCain would coldcock Gregory for a question like that, I might tune in.

I disagree that the GOP divide is that great if Newt (former speaker, Fox talker and lobbyist) Gingrich is the Tea Party candidate. That's like saying the passionate divide between Hillary and Obama supports was a sign of a great chasm between Democrats. Ideologically they're pretty much the same beast.
Hopefully humanity will one day learn to be humane.
Gingrich is, if anything, left of Romney on a number of issues. Gingrich is just an opportunist, sometimes very good at being one and other times not so good at being one. In the first debate this week he effectively said "I am everyone on this stage who is not named Romney" trying to gather the anti-Romney vote.
However, if Gingrich was elected as the Republican candidate, they would have chosen as less electable Romney with some out there ideas. But if Romney ends up winning as expected, his odds of beating Obama are inversely proportional to the amount of time Gingrich stays in the race.
you've become the joke that you deserve.
“That’s that typical hypocrisy stuff in the media that I’ve lived with over a couple of decades in the political arena. So I’m used to it.”
Ah, and you handled criticism & what you label 'hypocrisy' so well.
Sarah wouldn't know hypocrisy if it looked her right in the face... which it does every time she looks in a mirror.
Hopefully humanity will one day learn to be humane.
One of the reasons Newt is sinking like a stone is he mentioned giving her a high position in his administration.
That turned off a lot of mainstream Republicans who may have considered Newt. That and that "moon base during the 2nd term" bullshit.

Uh, Sarahkins, that's ASCRIBE to one candidate, not subscribe. "Attack muffin" must be somekind of veiled wingnut insult. I mean, Sarah is really freakin' out over Newt being called an attack muffin by Peggy Nooners of all people. I have to confess, I have no idea what the term "attack muffin" even means. Ah fuck it! The GOP primaries have become the ultimate clown show. It's pathetic, but it sure is fun to watch.

Sister Sarah actually did not say "verbiage". She said "VERBAGE", an unintentional neologism from this yakkety-yak hoot & holler Mistress Of Discourse. Later she said the critical commentary about Newt was "Stalin-esque" and "the worst of Alinsky tactics". So, she picked up the Alinsky baton from Humpty (Newt), squalid Stalin-esque (as opposed to Stalinist) demagoguery at its nadir, and you mix it all together and you get a hairnet bumpkin in polyester stretch pants picking her nose, and scratching her ass all across the TV, you betcha, down yonder.

There is NO such word as verbage in the English language, so we are left with verbiage a word who's meaning is demonstrably not known to Word Salad Sarah.

Party politics are not only undemocratic, they are antidemocratic.
and you can just about guess what it refers to: starts with c, ends with t, and it's UN believable that Peggy Noonan used a synonym.
But it certainly describes Newt Gingrich well.
Sarah is indeed an Angry Attack Muffin and Coulter is a giant stinking attack crumpet.

The same people who walked goosestep with Mr. Gingrich when he was but a Congressman (and not yet Speaker of the House) are the same ones putting their knives into his back. Even his loyal lieutenant, Congressman Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA 46) has turned on Mr. Gingrich. It used to be in the Republican Party, you danced with the guy who brought you. Then again, I guess once a prostitute, always a prostitute.

He stated that although he used to be Mr. Gingrich's "loyal lieutenant", he knew all of Mr. Gingrich's secrets and thus supported Mr. Romney. I wonder just how many bridges did Mr. Gingrich burn? I mean, he was able to garner the House for the Republicans for the first time in 40 years! It wasn't going to happen with Mr. Gingrich.

Of course, Simple Sara makes it all about herself. If she's so used to it, why does she endlessly whine about it?
I hope she keeps it up, though. I love seeing the GOPiggies attacking each other. And I'm betting Pig Newton has promised her a position on his staff. (pun intended).
"A couple of decades"?? What the fuck is she talking about? A couple of decades ago she was sucking off black college basketball players? She really does believe her own bullshit, doesn't she. Hate to break this to ya, sweetcheeks, but everybody knows you quit being Alaska's governor after only serving 2 years of your term. Nobody's buying the "couple of decades in politics" horseshit.

I thought about that too, Gene. But Simple Sara is including her brief time in Wasilla city council and later as the mayor. Of course, at that time the media had not idea who Simple Sara was until McCain unleashed her ignorance on America in 2008.
There's no way she wrote that. It's coherent.

that the incoherent quality makes it MORE likely that she wrote it herself!
Have the bu$hes (or do the bu$hes) support anyone? I can see Palin sniping at them. Babs gave her a good public snubbing.

is more obtuse. The use of the word "subscribe" to ascribe attribution is gramatically incorrect.

..article is just more proof the Republican is not the party of angry white men, it's the party of angry white WOMEN.
Just days after angry white woman Jan Brewer shook her finger in the president's face, you get a pissing match between the angry white women, Sarah Palin & Peggy Noonan.
If angry white woman Sarah Palin wants to champion the cause of a kindred spirit, she should has tossed her endorsement behind fellow angry white woman Michelle Bachmann.
But I don't know if angry white women Ann Coulter & Monica Crowley agree with Palin.
Perhaps CNN's angry white women Dana Loesch & Erin Burnett can sort it out for us. Or possibly angry white women Mary Matlin & Bay Buchanan will show & offer their angry, right wing female wisdom.
Or maybe one of the fifty angry white blond women on Fixed News can offer the correct frame.
If you are an white woman in America, & if you live your life in a constant state of agitation, there is a 99% chance you are either a leader in right wing politics or a vanguard in the right wing media.

Even though Gingrich and Palin are quite differently ideologically, it's not all that surprising for Palin to come to Gingrich's defense. She watched Joe Miller lose Alaska to someone more supported by the establishment, and she has seen it happen in other places as well. Gingrich has twice been knocked down by the so called establishment, however while Gingrich was knocked for a very different reason then other candidates who she looks at, but she does not make that distinction.

I'm just glad to see Palin getting all Mavricky and going after the GOP establishment. I hope she helps keep the bad feelings going toward Romney all the way to the convention. Go, Sarah! Go!
As vitriolic as the recent attacks on Gingrich may appear, you can bet the GOP establishment is pulling its punches with Gingrich. Not for reasons of propriety, of course, but simply because he knows where bodies are buried. You don't think those poor schmucks at CIA and the Defense Department wanted to "brainstorm" with the former Speaker after Bush took office, do you? Of course they didn't; they were following orders. Because he knew things about certain people and organizations, the man still had to be shined on and placated. Even a decade later, he still does.
If Gingrich really wanted to stomp the political terra of the GOP, I bet he could still do it.

Pseudo-Gov. Palin reminds the GOP Establishment it was the Tea Party that won seats in 2010. This creepy woman has never said anything so honest, and I find myself agreeing just from personal observation. Take my congressional district. We had sent a Democratic Hispanic to the House for about 40 years. He lost to a politically-connected multi-millionaire (mostly inherited, unlike Mitt) who promised old folks he would represent them in D.C. and the first thing he did was a betrayal: voting for the Paul Ryan measure, which would have gutted both Social Security and especially Medicare. Ryan's plan called for "vourchers," which is Luntz-speak for pittances, after which, without insurance of one's own (very, very costly, beyond the affordability of retired persons) one was left dangling in the wind. Paul Ryan is a shithead. He epitomizes everything wrong with D.C. Our local Hispanic Democratic congressman lost because the Tea Party debate sent Repugs out of the non-voting woodwork and down to the polls. Our new GOP rep owes his job to the Tea Party. Yes, I realize there probably are a lot of old folk in the Tea Party, too. Useful idiots of the 1% and betrayers of their generations.
"Respect for the rights of others is peace." --Benito Juarez
I hear the absolutely unmistakable signature of a particular kind of nasal congestion in Palin's voice.
She's been sniffin' some snow up there in the Alaskan backwoods.
does that make Sarah an agent provocateur?
Since evolutionarily regressive chordate, Newt, has illegally promised her a position in his administrator, look for her to provocateur right and mostly left until around late spring 2013.
So here is a question. Would even a Republican controlled congress approve a Palin appointment.
A little 2009 history. Sarah appointed for Alaska a man, who went by his initials WAR, for attorney general.
He was so unqualified and so offensive to the sensibilities of even a Republican controled Alaskan legislature that he was overwhelmingly rejected. (see The Mud Flats, A Gill from Homer blogs archives if you want more. It was very entertaining to see WAR go down, and Sarah's fury.)
Could we be in for a Newt/Palin repeat?
DaffyNation: Traditional grammar classifies words based on eight parts of speech: the verb, the noun, the pronoun, the adjective, the adverb, the preposition, the conjunction, and the interjection.
Sarah has a great skill. She takes the parts of speech and spins them into an almost impossible, convoluted series of words. It's almost a joy. I shake my head up and down, side to side, cleaning the snot from my sinus.
