Sarah Palin hits pols, media on Newtown

[The Straight Story]

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin — who was harshly criticized for her response to the January 2011 mass shooting in Tucson, Ariz. — is telling Americans in the wake of Newtown to put their faith in God and ignore political and media “elites.”

“First, all truly is hopeless if your faith and hope are put in any politician or media elite,” the Fox News contributor wrote on Facebook on Monday night. “That is because the average person is more truthful and responsible than the average politician or media elite. Those who let themselves be terribly disappointed in political leaders as they ignore real problems, aided along with a complicit media bombarding us with irrelevant distractions in order to avoid facing the reality of a fallen culture, should know those distractions are to hide from a finger pointing to the main contributors to much of our problem.”


Palin’s post, “The Only Hope,” asked Americans to place more emphasis on their faith.

“Unspeakable evil slammed America in the beautiful little town of Newtown, Connecticut, just days ago,” Palin wrote. “No words can express the collective shock and sorrow shared by Americans who know the murder of innocent children is the most horrendous crime imaginable. The Connecticut state motto, ‘Qui transtulit sustinet,’ promises that only God can sustain us.”

1. Yes, just wish your troubles away

What we have here is a critical lack of synaptic activity.

That semi-literate ReTHUG ignoramus who gave us "Don't Retreat: Reload!" - should know

[JaneyVee]

4. Meanwhile, Alaska leads the Nation in gun deaths per year.

20. We're up there, but I don't think we're number 1,

at least according to this article http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2011/01/11/20-deadliest-gun-states-from-mississippi-to-arizona.html . What Alaska is number 1 in is rape and sexual assault.

[politicaljunkie41910]

25. No. 1 in rape and sexual assault? But I thought Alaska was God's country?

[Blue_In_AK]

31. Alaska is god's country,

but some of the people? Not so much.

[Politicalboi]

28. You just need a bigger

Population, give it some time. LOL!

5. Whatever became of the Quitter?

Last I heard her 15 minutes were up some time ago.

[The Straight Story]

6. She keeps quitting her quitting (nt)

[11 Bravo]

7. While jumping up and down, frantically waving her arms, and shrieking ...

HEY! EVERYBODY! LOOK OVER HERE! REMEMBER ME? ANN COULTER'S NOT THE ONLY REPUKE WHO CAN SPEW CRAZY SHIT!

[kimbutgar]

8. All I can say is STFU Sarah you evil hillbilly

I am so sick of these woman and all she stands for.

[Happyhippychick]

9. Did she end with "don't retreat, reload"?

[Arkana]

10. The Wasilla Grifter can go fuck herself with a rusty sewer pipe.

[spanone]

11. sarah, shut the fuck up.

[Liberal_in_LA]

21. yup

[Warren DeMontague]

12. Amazing how these incidents invariably open the bullshit spigots from the usual suspects.

I mean i suppose- given the NRA ties, the moose hunting from the helicopters, etc. they feel obliged to say something.

Still, even the NRA itself has the good sense to just shut the fuck up this week.

[cecilfirefox]

13. What a rotten unintelligent, undereducated, and inarticulate windbag. nt

[marmar]

14. Somebody needs to keep that idiot away from a keyboard.

nt

[DisgustipatedinCA]

15. A supernatural intervention is our only hope. Stupid fucking Republican.

[warrior1]

16. Fuck you Sarah

[KharmaTrain]

17. “No words can express the collective shock and sorrow..."

...too bad Grifterella didn't just stop there. The irony of a political celebrity telling people to ignore the media and politicians is just too rich!!!

[WhoIsNumberNone]

18. Sarah...

You're a politician AND a media elite.

Happy Festivus.

[Fumesucker]

19. An oldie but a goodie, hell it really don't get much better than this

[rustydog]

22. Sarah, 2nd amendment remedy, Palin

The only reason you are raising your ugly head is you are charging someone to print your insane babble.

[Aristus]

23. Wow. She must be thrilled. She must be ecstatic about this.

Another excuse to get her empty head on the teevee...

[WilliamPitt]

24. 14:59:57...14:59:58...14:59:59...

[Canuckistanian]

26. Yeah, to hell with the elites

Listen to an idiot like me instead.

[arcane1]

27. She actually said "irrelevant distractions"?

[2naSalit]

29. Obviously

someone else wrote that for her, she's not smart enough to use big words like those let along know what they mean or know how to spell them.

She's a lot like that Dan Quayle clown, you can see a thousand points of light if you hold a flashlight up to one side of her head.

Hopefully she and Ted Nutgag can go commiserate somewhere out on the tundra and never find their way home.

[gulliver]

30. Seriously, "fallen culture?"

The woman has a gift for unintentional irony. She represents a culture that thinks of her as presidential material. That's a fallen culture.
