"The Ruling Class put another boot on our neck to snuff liberty’s life out of We the People,” Palin

The 8 Most Unhinged Right-Wing Reactions to the FBI’s Clinton Email Announcement
Sarah Palin and various Fox Newsians are really not happy.
By Elizabeth Preza / AlterNet July 5, 2016


Here’s a run-down of the most feverish right-wing reactions to today’s non-event.



2. Sarah Palin

The former vice-presidential candidate decried Comey’s recommendation, oddly urging her supporters to "restore the rule of law” (and conveniently ignoring her son’s recent domestic violence arrest), despite the fact that the recommendation comes from one of the country's top lawmen.

“Ironic, tragic, but not unexpected—amidst America’s Independence Day celebrations the Ruling Class put another boot on our neck to snuff liberty’s life out of We the People,” Palin wrote on Facebook. “We MUST redouble efforts to restore the rule of law that had sustained the most exceptional nation on earth, with everyone doing their part.”

The former governor of Alaska also blamed, in part, the Never Trumpers who refuse to back the presidential candidate.

"GOP ‪#?NEVERTRUMP‬ TRAITORS—HILLARY DELIGHTS IN YOU, FOR SHE CAN'T WIN WITHOUT YOU," Palin presumably yelled.

6. Erik Erickson

Everyone’s least favorite misogynist took a unique stance on the Clinton email inquiry, suggesting Clinton was spared an indictment because of her gender.

“If Hillary Clinton were a man, she’d be indicted,” Erickson wrote in an article on his website.

“It is because she is a female with the last name Clinton,” he concluded. “Any one of you reading this right now would have been indicted.”

Unless we are a woman or have the last name Clinton, we suppose.

and outright eedjits like Palin, as well as those who are Trumpettes, right-wing authoritarian autocrats (RWAAs) or left-wing authoritarian autocrats (LWAAs), are such instant experts on the law - just as they believe themselves to be instant experts on every other topic. Unfortunately, there are also some lawyers among them.

Anyone who believes that they - or anyone like them - should be anywhere near the WH certainly does not take their voting responsibility seriously

The college degree that Palin eventually struggled through was in, of all things, "Communications."

Remember, children, Sarah Palin was the half-term Alaska governor who ran the state on a Yahoo Mail account.

far it is not working here (though that could still change) other than to get Trump nominated by the republican base.

Except Goldie's character got smarter as the film went along.
