Palin's Bizarre Rant Against Obama's Tax Policy

Palin hit the trail in Iowa last week and took her criticism of Barack Obama's tax policy to a whole new level. While the standard criticism thus far of Obama's plan is that it's a "job-killer" or even vaguely "socialist", Palin made abundantly clear on the stump that she thinks it's much, much worse than that. As Palin describes it, Obama's plan is downright communist (everything you own would "collectively belong to everybody") and would lead to what HuffPo's Sam Stein calls a "nightmare communist state."

"See, under a big government, more tax agenda, what you thought was yours would really start belonging to somebody else, to everybody else. If you thought your income, your property, your inventory, your investments were, were yours, they would really collectively belong to everybody. Obama, Barack Obama has an ideological commitment to higher taxes, and I say this based on his record... Higher taxes, more government, misusing the power to tax leads to government moving into the role of some believing that government then has to take care of us. And government kind of moving into the role as the other half of our family, making decisions for us. Now, they do this in other countries where the people are not free. Let us fight for what is right. John McCain and I, we will put our trust in you."

Taxes have always been a ripe issue for demagoguery, but Sarah Palin is taking it about eight steps further.

Durrr, hey look, I can make it look like McCain supports al-Qaeda if I cut and paste a bunch of words he said together! That must make it true!

Of course, if you actually listen to the entire show, available here, he's saying nothing of the sort. But that's just too haaard!

You know, we really should edit together a bunch of audio clips saying McCain supports an all-homosexual army, McCain believes Iran is our best friend in the world, McCain wants to serve poor people for dinner with a nice white wine sauce... apparently people are so goddamned stupid that they'll believe any spliced up audio hack job as long as it is set to words in a giant font and pretty flashing pictures in the background.

I'm serious. I mean, there's no point trying to debunk completely made-up bullshit like this, because it takes longer than two minutes, and by that time Joe Six-Pack's attention has turned back to the football game. So we really should counter with completely made-up bullshit of our own.

Coming from a family who had a DOWN'S SYNDROME brother, I find it distasteful to use this baby as a campaign tool.

Second, there are so many falsehoods in this statement...it isn't worth justifying with a response.

Third, are they playing for the libertarian vote...or have I given them far too much credit for even knowing what a libertarian is?

She's just wallowing in the adulation of the Rudolph/McVeigh wing of the GOP while she can; she has deluded herself to believe that she's the next big thing in the GOP rather than merely a bad joke. The more whacko she gets, the more those nut-cases eat it up. The only time the losers she plays to are happy is when they are feeling righteous rage at the boogeymen who are "keeping them down"—if they really wanted to get at the root of their problems they could start out by looking in a mirror!

The Communists and the Fascists/Corporatists both like to whip these folks up, but the end result is always violence.

If she's doing this NOW, just imagine what she'd try to do if she and McCain were elected. This is just a taste of what this country would be in for. I am so worried about the outcome of this election. I just do not trust the voting process. I don't know what I'll do if Obama "loses". What's Belize like? I'd try Canada, but I need someplace warmer...

MinuteMan's picture

I think that if disaster ever struck and McCain managed to win, he would put a choke-chain on Palin and really tighten the leash. He cannot respect her and once elected would no longer need her. The position of the VP would revert from being the most powerful in history to being the designated representative at funerals not worthy of presidential attendance—assuming McCain thought she could accomplish even that simple chore without being a major embarassment to him and the country!

McCain would possibly allow her to remain in Alaska as much as possible and use Liebermann as her surrogate.

I don't know. She seems to be totally blowing McCain and advisors off now. I think we'd be in for more of the same. They only thing they could do to shut her up would be to threaten to let some of her skeletons out of her closet - with all the new clothes, I'm sure they're a bit cramped! :)

would a candidate pretending to be a "populist" try to convince people that redistribution of wealth is a bad thing.

It is like a fox, running for top rooster at the hen house, talking about the dietary merits of poultry.

Except that in the animal kingdom, no chicken would be stupid enough to vote for the fox. Alas in the US of A, plenty of people who would be negatively affected by Palin's policies, are not only happy to vote for her... but would take a bullet for that idiot.

Which makes me think, maybe the creationist are right after all. No where in the animal kingdom there is such level of stupidity to be found, so Humans must have been created this stupid... no way we could have devolved to this point.

Palin didn't seem to have any problem with taxation to build public works when she incompetently rammed through a proposal for a $20M Sports Center for a 6,000 person town. Nor did she have any problem when she spear-headed a "windfall profits" tax on the oil companies and gave a lot of the money directly to the citizens of Alaska (which closer to socialism than anything practiced elsewhere in the country). But then again, IOKIYAR strikes again.

Holding two contradictory thoughts at the same time is said to be a sign of an intelligent mind, but Palin does it another way: she either doesn't recognize that they're contradictory or can only think of one of them at a time.

You took the words out of my mouth before i could register and say them. nicely done.

I love when a republican talks about the boogie man of big government.

Under Reagan and Bush, the US has amassed its biggest levels of federal debt. I.e. the biggest government ever.

They have no problem with having the biggest military budget (larger than rest of the top 10 world military budgets combined). Or having the government telling you who you can marry, or what you can do with your body (talk about big government).

No for them, the worst thing a government can do is taking care of its citizens.

It seems that having a social safety net is not being free. Alas for the GOP, being fucked up the arse must be the highest peak of freedom mountain.

Next thing you know, we will be told how freedom is slavery... they already tried to sell us the concept of war being peace.

FYI republicans; 1984 was a warning, not an instructions manual.

With any luck the GOP will splinter after their upcoming route. The extremists will form some abomination of a party that will eventually die—though not before inflicting their biliousness on the world—out because of its inability to attract enough voters to win elections and its distaste for forming alliances. Maybe they'll be called the Neo-Know-Nothings!

With any luck Palin's return to Alaska will be not even remotely as good as the the greeted-as-"liberators" scenario that played out in Iraq.

Let's hope those she kicked on the way up will return the favor on her way down and send her back to the land of strip-malls, gravel pits and poached wildlife.

Somebody tell, wonder bitch, that if she was such a capitalist...perhaps she should consider paying her own way when she "borrows" the Alaska helicopter, or takes a per diem from the PEOPLE for staying at home, or for buying her own freakin' clothes for her children and herself, and for not filing expenses for hauling her children on the campaign trail when they should be in school.

Every time this woman opens her mouth, she convinces us more about how profoundly stupid she actually is. McCain had the right idea: roll her out as a typical mother, polish the pig with $150,000 of clothing plus another $32,000 make-up & hair styling (first two weeks of this month) and then hide her mouth and mind from the press - in the hope that people wouldn't discover the obvious charade.

Nice try but I think most people had this figured out during her first abysmal interview. From there it only compounded itself until we see her now as a total fraud in every respect: she doesn't have real class but has to outfit herself in Saks to pretend that she does and when it comes to brains, she thought someone said "trains" and she jumped on the next one.

This woman is a certifiable laughingstock at this point. It will be great in another week to put this stuck pig out of her misery and ship her back to the Tundra from the rock she crawled out from under.

But dangerous just the same.

The hypocrisy of these pieces of shit knows no bounds.

It is like McCain, who has been most of his life covered by socialized medicine (via the navy, congress, and senate tax-funded health programmes), complaining about the ills of providing universal health care to the rest of the taxpayers who pay for his health care.

You know what the main problem is, the fact that NOT ONE, not a single person in the mainstream media ever calls them on it on real time. That is their job. People say things, when those things are a lie, you tell on them. Journalism is not public relations, morons...

For the GOP, every fetus is precious.

Once the fetus is born... well... I guess the view it as if the baby somehow breaks his or her warranty seal. And thus... once you are born, you are on your own.

Actually scratch that. The easiest way to shut down any argument with these "pro-life" idiots is to ask them if they are willing to foot the bill for socialized pre-natal care, given that they consider life so sacred and all. They will change the subject in 2 seconds flat.

So even, as a fetus... for the GOP they are precious*

*as long as the fetus does not impact their taxes. Some restrictions may apply. Check you local church for conditions and terms. Offer expires once the baby is born. No returns and no exchanges.

Rusty Shackleford's picture

Another trick is to ask them how they would punish a woman who has an abortion, since abortion is murder.

They usually say they'd pray for them, not punish them. Y'know, like they do with all murderers.

Margeaggedon's picture
Yes

Because we all know the vast incredible differences prayer makes. LOL!
prayer is what these conservotards count on because it means they never actually have to get off their asses and do anything.

And Tyler I think George Carlin said it best when he said that with these people "If you're preborn you're good, if you're pre-school you're fucked."
The only time they want anything to do with a human is when they're a fetus and when they're old enough to be sent to die for oil.

If I woulda known I would be in so much hot water over this, me and First Dude Todd woulda got that bigass 60" plasma, too, and charged it to the RNC. My, Bullwinkle would look so cool on a plasma! And think of how nice it'll be to watch baby videos of Bristol's little bastard, dontcha know! And how come I'm supposedly from Alaska but speak in this cheesy Wisconsin accent? Of course, next time they wanna buy me any Valentinos or Calvins or Chanels I'll just say, "thanks, but no thanks!"
(BTW, read this entire post in a Edie McClurg voice - you know, "that Ferris Bueller is one righteous dude.").

There was a slight pause and a brief smile on her face.

I think she had an orgasm.


Vote GOP and move forward to the 18th Century.

It's quite clear that this man has lost all control of his campaign...if he ever had any.

I ALMOST feel bad for him. He is going to be destroyed by all this...not just politically, but he has made enemies of friends.

However...I said...ALMOST.

It's quite clear that this man has lost all control of his campaign...if he ever had any.

I think he hired the best available GOP campaign hacks and then agreed that the would do whatever they told him to do so long as they put him into the oval office. When you make a deal with the devil ...

Lol, wut?

She had no idea what she was talking about. Her speeches are cringe worthy!

If McCain/Palin won...McCain wouldn't make it to the end of his first year.

The evangelicals would be praying for God to take him home...and the GOP would be booking his ticket.


Vote GOP and move forward to the 18th Century.

Some Voters Are Going to Have to Lose Their Homes Before They Connect the Dots By Garrison Keillor

It's clear that some Americans are beyond persuasion. Thankfully, it seems that most of us are willing to recognize BS when we see it.
http://www.alternet.org/election08/104728/som...

. . . It was dishonest, cynical men who put forward a clueless young woman for national office, hoping to juice up the ticket, hoping she could skate through two months of chaperoned campaigning, but the truth emerges: The lady is talking freely about matters she has never thought about. The American people have an ear for B.S. They can tell when someone's mouth is moving and the clutch is not engaged. When she said, "One thing that Americans do at this time, also, though, is let's commit ourselves just every day, American people, Joe Six-Pack, hockey moms across the nation, I think we need to band together and say never again. Never will we be exploited and taken advantage of again by those who are managing our money and loaning us these dollars," people smelled gas.

. . . She is a chatty sportscaster who lacks the guile to conceal her vacuity, and she was Mr. McCain's first major decision as nominee

I think that she is just angry because she wants to use taxpayer money to buy a private island, mansion, and put 1 billion dollars in trust fund for each of her kids and if obama do not do that, than he is a communist.

she love communism and socialism, so long as it benefit her.

Why doesn't some savvy journalist or network anchor mention this? It's because they only bring us the "biased and unfair edition" of the news.

Junk your mainstream media today. They're all fascist owned and have become GOP propaganda megaphones.

Check out McCain's new mistress - she's the younger version of little Cindy!

McCain and his aides can't deny that Vicki Iseman was running around with McPappy no matter how much they try. The facts are slowly coming out this week and will be dribbled to the press...lurid detail by lurid details.

Pop the popcorn! This one is certain to be "R" rated.

please make real crazy lady go away.

I think it's pretty damn disgusting that instead of the Republican party making sure this crazy woman gets the mental health care she so desperately needs that they choose to make a public spectacle of her mental deficiencies.

. . . The lady of the house answered the door and was cordial to the campaign workers. When they asked her who she thought she would vote for in the upcoming presidential elections she yelled back in to her husband to inquire who they were voting for. This piece alone intrigues me as I cannot imagine my spouse ever deferring to me in this manner, nor do I think she should just for the record. At any rate, the reply came immediately from within, "We're voting for the n-----". The woman unfazed by this answer repeated it to the campaign workers "We're voting for the n-----". (I pause here for dramatic effect...where to begin parsing this oddity.)

that taxes the oil companies in her state and then redistributes the wealth to the citizens of her state?

Unreal. She is incoherent, ignorant and, at this point, almost sad. She went from a star candidate to a joke. Good job McCain.

This sorry ass excuse never displayed ANY political talent whatsoever. The Repukes just proclaimed her to be some "rising star"....she's always been an empty skirt. We are clearly seeing why the GOP hid this dumb bitch.

I tried to give Sarah Palin a moniker with references to Evita Peron. I take it back. Evita had more class than this one will ever have.

You should change your moniker to Below Average Guy.

Although you may be right, let's wait until Obama moves into the WhiteHouse and go from there.
Preparing for something? Where ya been? SOMETHING is happening right now!! Radical changes must be made globally and the world (good or bad) follows the US lead. There is really no choice here. Vote Obama or vote McPalin. Even NeoCons ain't hitchin' their buggy to that dead horse.

We've already been betrayed. We've already been lied to. We've already had a pirate in sheep's clothing that got elected. The country is already in moral and financial danger! There are two candidates before us. One is a new guy, one is the biggest insider in Washington hiring the same team that betrayed us already.

What the hell are you talking about!? You think some phony scandal crap about a birth certificate or some alarmist gun nonsense means something? People like you have been crying wolf for years now based mostly on paranoid fantasies. When will you realize that bullshit like yours only makes things worse?

If she really is concerned about the size and cost of government then she must passionately hate Reagan and Bush. They enlarged government size and spending more then any other Presidents ever have. Not to mention that they both increased government intrusion into citizens private lives.

Palin is correct only if you ignore the past and project the future. Any toddler in America can do that with a 50/50 chance of having a more accurate view of the world.

Yeah, so don't cha know. Senator Obama will come to your house a night and force you all to get gay married while he praises Lucifer and bombs the Pentagon. Then he is going to tax you to death and force all your women into getting abortions, by golly. But, ya'll here in real Amerika, ya'll know what's best for the country. So vote for McCain and I so you don't have to be afraid at night.

Although the way she foments bigotry and, well, outright stupidity is frightening, I still think the more she speaks, the better of America is. She pushes the undecideds to Obama, she pushes moderate Republicans to Obama, and is doing her gosh darn level best to narrow the Republican party down to a core of turds that will, I hope, inhabit the political fringe for decades to come. So, please Sarah, keep talking.

I've heard this crap about 'far left' liberals for years. Please show me actual quotes by American liberal politicians or pundits suggesting that we turn all property over to the government, nationalize all businesses, and transfer power from local and state governments to Washington. I've known probably hundreds of liberals and I've never heard this talked about, nor do I know anyone who think this would be a good idea.

Once you find you can't come up with any such quotes, please shut up.
