Sarah Palin thought she had struck gold when the opportunity presented itself to shamelessly hijack a Veterans protest at the World War II Memorial in Washington DC this week in order to further her own political aspirations.
Unfortunately for her, these veterans did not take kindly to having their protest co-opted by a failed presidential candidate and quitter who gave up her post as Governor of Alaska in order to take a multimillion dollar deal with FOXNews.
Just as she was in the middle of cynically rewriting history by claiming that it is the President Obama and Democratic Party, and not the intransigent Tea Party House Republicans, who are using our veterans and military as pawns and are responsible for the reckless shutdown of The Peoples Government which led to the closing up the World War II Veterans Memorial in D.C., one Veteran correctly shouted, Republicans closed the government!, followed by another Veteran appropriately scolding her, Youre an idiot!
They couldn't be more right. One has to wonder if Palin is aware of just how badly she is projecting her cynical pandering to Veterans on President Obama.
She complains about Democrats using Veterans for political gain as she makes a political speech at war memorial in order to make a political gain. Fortunately, these Veterans did not let her get away with it.
Please watch the video of the exchange below and spread Sarah Palin and the Republican Partys shame on social media forums so that we can amplify these brave Veterans message.

p.s. The Vets were being too kind.

(22,109 posts)I also can't believe how shameless she is, after everything. I was hoping we'd seen the last of her, but noooo. Here she is again, just like a floater that refuses to be flushed.
BTW are we going to see you in MIRT again soon?

(19,379 posts)Thanks for mentioning MIRT, I have been thinking about re-upping, perhaps the next cycle. Really is a good experience.

(5,955 posts)When I first saw her little speech, and she mentioned "These berrycades..." I thought she'd just added another dumbass 'Palinism' to the Urban Dictionary, along with "squirmish" and "refudiate."
But no, apparently the wingnuts had dubbed the barricades "Barrycades" in honor of President Obama. I cannot fathom the depth of the suckiness of these people sometimes.

(9,145 posts)She was given a gift. She abused it. She betrayed her party, her country and probably her family who have to suffer the consequences of her not knowing anything about anything other than promoting herself.
Another person I'll never feel sorry for is standing to her left.
