Sarah Palin challenges Obama to debate
By Alicia M. Cohn - 03/13/12 12:37 PM ET

Sarah Palin shot back at the Obama reelection campaign this week after it used footage of her in a fundraising video.

"I’m not running for any office, but I’m more than happy to accept the dubious honor of being Barack Obama’s 'enemy of the week' if that includes the opportunity to debate him on the issues Americans are actually concerned about," Palin wrote in a note on her Facebook page, posted late Monday. Palin was responding to a Web video fundraising for Obama that uses recent footage of Palin criticizing the president.


Palin also offered a challenge to Obama.

"I’m willing and free to discuss these issues with the President anywhere, anytime," Palin wrote.

[Kingofalldems]

1. I betcha the President is 'ascared'.

[Rambis]

2. Trying to stay relevant is hard work

[BanTheGOP]

72. Sarah Palin needs to be DESTROYED, pure and simple

We need someone like George Soros to offer a DU'er or someone else a million bucks to be the first person to come out with significant enough dirt so that Palin will NEVER be a factor again at any level. She needs to be destroyed, any way possible.

[whathehell]

104. Oh please...She already IS destroyed...I believe "Game Change"

solidified her as an embarrassement to herself.

[L. Coyote]

106. Ooooh nooos, ooooh nooos, let her keep destroying the Rs Pleeeeese!

She is doing such a bang-up job of it the D's should be sending her paychecks

[cyberswede]

79. +1

[liberal N proud]

3. Is she going to pitch hit for who ever the GOP nominee is?

When I first read this I thought it was satire.

[Ian David]

4. Why? The last time she debated, she just announced she wouldn't answer the questions put to her. n/t

[JaneQPublic]

23. You're right!

I remember that now: She basically blew off the questions the moderator asked her and spewed out her memorized set pieces.

Her lips kept flapping together, but she didn't engage in the debate the least little bit.

[eringer]

5. Thank you Sarah!

Let us hope that she never realizes that she is firing up the wrong base with stupid comments like this. The Republicans need to get one of their billionaire friends to pay her to go into seclusion until after the election.

[GopperStopper2680]

70. To eringer:

You'd think they'd already have done that back in the '08 campaign. It didn't take them long to figure out she was an embarassment to the whole party-but they're still letting her skitter around in the light of day.
Well, it makes our job easier on us anyway. Most of your 'part way' voters will see the intellectual opportunity the GOP offers and run screaming away.

[bluestateguy]

6. Then she can run for president and win the GOP nomination

Then she can stand on the stage and debate the president one on one.

The President of the United States ONLY debates his election opponent.

[bahrbearian]

7. Let Sasha debate her.

[Smilo]

11. Even Bo would beat her with three paws tied behind his back n/t

[ChairmanAgnostic]

48. Tail semaphore and morse code are critical communications tools.

[lsewpershad]

43. Good one

Even Sasha would not belittle herself to that extent.

[bluedigger]

8. The dreaded FaceBook call out!

Maybe they could post pertinent LOLZcats on each other's Walls.

[Lil Missy]

9. He'd never lower himself to debate with such a low life. n/t

[no_hypocrisy]

10. This is beneath the level of a 7th grade lunch table.

[jaysunb]

86. And, more disrespect. imo. n/t

[Behind the Aegis]

12. LOL! That could be comedy GOLD!

How many times do you think she would "accidently" call him "President Osama?" We could make a drinking game out of the "debate."

[xxqqqzme]

21. At least she would have the

'O' right unlike O'Biden.

[Diclotican]

82. Behind the Aegis

Behind the Aegis

I think that would be a verry "drunken" drinking game as she would do a gaffe on that all the time...

Diclotican

[progressoid]

107. Gold!

[JI7]

13. why would the President debate someone who quit as Gov ?

[TrogL]

14. I was up 'til 4 a.m. watching Game Change. I'm also running a fever

I'm not hallucinating this, am I?

[dipsydoodle]

15. I'm so tempted to play with that word debate

but I suppose I'd better not.

[tularetom]

19. Maybe she should practice by debating a crowd of people

You know, sort of a mass debate.

[dipsydoodle]

20. Well at least

you managed to put it more politely than I might have.

I must confess that on a scale of 1:10 I probably would give her one.

[oldironside]

28. Good Lord.

The last time I heard that joke it was about Jaqui Brambles when she was still on Radio 1. I think it's older than the Will Hay clip I posted the other week.

[randome]

22. I got it.

[rurallib]

16. But she has to go through the brackets first.

She is in Limbaugh's bracket.
Bet he calls her a slut and a prostitute.

[truthisfreedom]

17. Why did an Obama fundraising video include this irrelevant relic?

That's the real issue here.

[rtassi]

73. that was my thought also n/t

[iemitsu]

85. the article says the footage of palin

is recent.
she is the one acting as if the footage was old and connected to her run for VP, dredged up from the past.
the obama campaign is using current footage which is how one answers accusations being leveled during a political race.

[xxqqqzme]

18. Anything to boost her

donor income. Getting by on turning tricks for faux must have dampened that lifestyle to which she was becoming accustomed.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

24. Palin's willing and free - i.e. she doesn't have a job, since she lost her reality show

Get a job, Sarah.

[WhoIsNumberNone]

25. Oooh Sarah- he fell right into your trap, didn't he?

Now when he tells you to go fuck yourself, right wing pundits will be trumpeting it as a victory for your side, right? Doubtful. Even the other Fox-bots will see this as a desperate cry for attention from a political has been. What does Obama have to gain by debating you? Even in the best case scenario where he pulverizes and humiliates you on national TV, he's given you credibility just by accepting your "challenge". And once that precedent is set, who will he have to debate next? Hannity? Limbaugh? Face it Sarah- you're a zero. And presidents don't agree to debates with zeros. Can you imagine the laugh riot on the right if Keith Olbermann -a much more intelligent and relevant person than you- had challenged W -a feebleminded moron who has spent his whole life failing upward- to a debate? It isn't done.

[GopperStopper2680]

71. 'Has been'?

More like a 'Never Was been'. She was humiliation to the GOP half way before the campaign was over.

[FailureToCommunicate]

26. Of the people I'd LIKE to see debate the President, Sarah is...let's see...

Nope. Not on the list.

[Bjorn Against]

66. I would actually love to see it, it would be comedy gold

I bet Obama would love to debate her as well, he won't do it because the President generally only debates their primary opponent in the coming election and there is no reason to make an exception for her aside from to make her look dumb, but I would bet that he would like to have that debate.

[BlueDemKev]

27. My DOG could debate this bimbo

Obama would crush her.

[kiernen143]

91. Obama WOULD crush her

Palin couldn't debate her way out of a cardigan... she's foolish to be that confident. Maybe she needs to review some of the footage from her previous debates.

[leftynyc]

109. She believes she beat VP Biden

That's what her moron supporters keep telling her.

[BlueDemKev]

115. Oh, yeah!

That whole debate she made everyone's skin crawl with "you betcha!" "you betcha!" "you betcha!"

[Fuddnik]

29. I'm sure Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert would moderate it!

Can't have Katie Couric askin' those gotcha questions.

[Harriety]

30. My cat Lenny wants to debate Palin and he knows he'd fur sur win....

[Boudica the Lyoness]

51. MY cat Tommy has a turd in his litter box

that could debate her on her level.

[NAO]

31. By "free" does she mean "no speaking fees"?

because I 've heard she charges high speaking fees.

[DocMac]

32. I've been there Sarah!

Had a few drinks and posted dumb shit.

"A man has got to know his limitations." Clint Eastwood quote.

And women too...my quote. Get Direct TeeVee and know your limitations.

[Ecumenist]

33. WTF??!! Does this idiot really think she's important? She ain't running for dogcatcher

Why in the hell would have anything to do with this world class narcissist?

[hamsterjill]

34. Hey, give Sarah a break!

She's having a hard time, now! Come on!!! (Sarcasm, of course!)

She was the media darling for a while there...now....eeeeh...not so much.

She's kind of like Kate Gosselin. Forgotten, yet still whining and trying to do ANYTHING to get back in the spotlight.

[calimary]

96. Damn, hamsterjill! You just nailed it. sarah palin IS kind of like Kate Gosselin.

She's the Kate Gosselin of the political world. She's so over, and yes forgotten by many, yet still whining and trying to do ANYTHING to get back in the spotlight. She's still trying to be relevant, and for most of America her 15 minutes were up a long time ago. Clinging to her looks and telegenic charm, as time marches on, and she gets older, and her looks start fading, and the voice becomes more shrill and piercing. And as her one brief shining moment during Campaign 2008 recedes farther and farther into the past, we're liable to see more of her on the front pages of the Enquirer than on the news/talk shows - even Pox Noise.

[hamsterjill]

108. Hee hee!!! Thank you!

Thank you, calimary! And I'm still betting on a Playboy spread at some point in time. That is, of course, if Hef thought she was worth it! Can't you just see her in front of a fireplace, laid out on a bear-skin rug, rifle in hand...with a strong of pearls, of course!!!! LOL LOL

[Shadowflash]

35. Yeah.

I've got bacteria under my toilet seat lid that have a higher IQ and better debate skills than Lady Blah Blah does.

Though it's WAY beneath him, I'd LOVE to see Obama crush her once and for all.

[Justice wanted]

36. ......

:Spit Smile:

[IDemo]

37. Military announces new "paralyze 'em with laughter" weapon...

[Old and In the Way]

38. Because 1 national humiliation this week just isn't enough. nt

[socialindependocrat]

39. What a waste of time and money...

[LynneSin]

40. She probably still has those 25 responses memorized from the Biden debates

[rexcat]

52. They are still written on her hand!

[yurbud]

41. she's like the Black Knight in THE HOLY GRAIL

she gets her arms, legs, and torso chopped off in powder puff MSM interviews, and says ''Tis but a scratch,'' and challenges Obama, who actually knows a thing or two more than reporters who ask tough questions like what her favorite color is or which newspapers she reads.

[gejohnston]

42. I wonder if I can

tape it and sell the rights to Comedy Central?

[Cirque du So-What]

44. Anyone still feel sorry for Sarah Palin in the wake of Game Change's premiere?

Just askin'.

[firehorse]

45. She couldn't even read from her cheat sheets last go around, and she thought landing a plane in

Ireland for gas counted for foreign policy experience. The woman is deluded.

[Angry Dragon]

46. Angry Dragon challenges Sarah Palin to a debate

[Deep13]

50. That is like challenging a polio victim to a foot race.

I'm surprised she would even offer considering the demolition Biden gave her last time.

[Deep13]

47. Well if the POTUS has time, why not debate me?

He'll probably still win, but at least I'll know WTF he's talking about and I may make some good points. Seriously, why the hell would he just stop everything to debate our national moron?

[Boudica the Lyoness]

49. Could someone move this to the joke forum..

Stupid Sarah.

[Major Hogwash]

53. Oh noes, she dinn't!!

Now President Obama has done it!
Sister Sarah will growl and snort and go after him like a grizzly mom!

Sister Sarah has her own bus.
Did you guys know that?

It's parked though . . back in Ah-las-kah.

[kenfrequed]

54. Stupid political stunt of the week.

Is she bucking to getting to be the second round draft at the RNC this year, or is this a way to continue the illusion of relevence. She should stop now.

[ut oh]

55. Why give this woman another platform...

to spew her crap?

[Sheepshank]

56. I strongly suspect that Palin and Obama may not agree on......

"..... the issues Americans are actually concerned about"

However, once on the stage it really wouldn't matter. I think she'd get a really good schooling about what Americans care about (hint: it really isn't about hoping Palin will run for President as the Freepers would lead anyone to believe)

[tanyev]

57. Who said what now?

?w=536

[Historic NY]

60. +100

[Vinca]

58. OMG - an Obama/Palin debate would be so funny you could sell it as pay-per-view.

[GeorgeGist]

59. Can I call you 'Barry'?

[samsingh]

61. why doesn't she try and get through an interview with a CNN reporter first

[GiveMeFreedom]

62. Her money must be running out?

The grifter from Alaska may be getting desperate? Wanting to debate the best debater in decades? She should just do what every white, over 40, male, christian, repub voter wants her to do . . .

[Botany]

63. As long as the held the debate in the country of Africa

.... w/ the queen of England as the debate moderator and Sarah would be allowed to
"teach" President Obama about Constitutional law, in some respect Charley.



O.P. are you sure that this is not from the onion?

BTW "Palin wrote in a note on her Facebook page .... " She doesn't write her own books and I doubt she even
posts on her own facebook page either.

[totodeinhere]

64. This is the most hilarious thing I've read in a long time.

Palin debating President Obama? You've got to be kidding. And I'm sure that Obama won't accept since being the kind of good person he is he wouldn't want to humiliate her for all to see.

[freshwest]

65. Oh, Really? What's she running for now? The cover of ... you fill in the blank.

[IDemo]

74. "All of them, Katie"

[Major Hogwash]

76. John McCain just aged another 10 years today.

"Oh, gawd, when is it ever going to be over?"

[freshwest]

78. When we're all sucked into a black hole to a parallel dimension. Until then, we're stuck in Hell!

[olddad56]

67. She would be better off challenging him to a wet tee shirt contest. Even that wouldn't be pretty

[jillan]

68. But Sarah - who is going to prep you for the debate? Joe the Plumber?

[GopperStopper2680]

69. Oh this is just precious!

The Palin wants to enter a debate with Obama? How....well folks, I am lost for words. The Palin couldn't win a debate with an amoeba! You know, I feel sorry for her children, growing up with that under the roof..

[SemperEadem]

75. the president of the United States only debates with the Republican nominee

Which isn't you.

You don't rise to the requisite level of importance... and besides, he already said doesn't think about you.

Get out of the spot light and quit being an attention whore. Go home and raise your children... seems when your husband is left in charge, minors come up pregnant.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

77. Yet another reason why watching "Game Change" did not make me feel sorry for that vile woman!

[Rhiannon12866]

80. Geeze...

[jaysunb]

81. Another diversion.....n/t

[Doctor_J]

83. delusions of adequacy

miserable, stupid, degenerate slut. If we had any media presence, tomorrow's papers and airwaves would be filled with questions like, "I want to know if all of Palin's illegitimate children and grand children will be joining the debate", and "I hope Palin can pry herself away from her boyfriends long enough to go on TV and make the president's point some more", and "The president would accept, but we're afraid the half-term governor will bring not only her lovers, but her kids' lovers, all of their grandchildren, and Newt Gingrinch and all of his wives and mistresses. The president would be unable to be heard among the dozens of people on Palin's side"

[Canuckistanian]

84. My crazy uncle wants to debate Obama, too

Oh, and that cat lady down the street, when she gets out of rehab.

Palin can get in line and wait her turn.

[FlaGatorJD]

87. I hereby challenge Ms. Quitter to STFU!

Reading the McGinnis book now-unbelievable.

[Fearless]

88. Someone's stuck in the past!

[jmowreader]

89. More like the issues Sarah Palin is concerned about

I can just imagine a two-hour debate on requiring religiously-affiliated institutions to provide contraceptive coverage, cutting Sarah Palin's federal income tax, running a tar sands pipeline across the water supply for a third of the nation, and the validity of the president's birth certificate.

[excuse not to write]

90. Debate on your Own Level, Sarah

I hear SpongeBob is available.

[Pachamama]

99. Spongebob would mop the floor with her....

[donheld]

92. Sasha could mop the floor with Sarah.

[cstanleytech]

93. *yawn* Oh...its Palin again I see.

She really needs to get over that shes no longer the focus of the news media.

[NICO9000]

94. Dear Grifty McQuitter

Kindly STFU.

Thank you,

Your fellow Americans

[Amonester]

95. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Like The World Needs A Good Laugh!

[The Wizard]

97. She should just announce her candidacy

for entertainment value. Her hillbilly followers will be jerking off in public.

[Pachamama]

98. Poor Miss Irrelevant is trying to be Relevant...

[Jennicut]

100. For debating, we all know she would need to memorize her responses.

After watching Game Change I don't think Palin could debate a fly effectively.

[knitter4democracy]

101. Obama laughs and continues actually being a president.

For crying out loud, this is just escalation because no one's paying attention to her.

[judesedit]

102. Palin's got about as much knowledge, common sense and compassion as my pet rock.

The good Lord has a plan for all of us. Poor, pitiful Palin.

[judesedit]

103. She can't answer the questions. She'll rant on and on trying to incite "her base". And, if course,

the media will buy into it and edit it to shreds to try to make her appear human. McCain should get 40 lashes for setting her free on us.

[Arkana]

105. Screw you, Moose Princess. How's it feel to be less than irrelevant?

[NoGOPZone]

110. He should accept then send Malia in his place nt

[ehrnst]

111. Imagine the drinking games during that debate, though.

a shot every time she says

- "you betcha,"
- "Americans"


Two shots
- if Obama loses control and facepalms.

[Gregorian]

112. She'll have to grow more hands first.

[davidthegnome]

113. Hey now... don't knock it, this could be a good idea!

It would give him practice for when he may have to debate Romney or Santorum. I don't imagine our President has as much practice as he should when debating intellectually inferior opponents, they may yet trip him up. Who knows, they could call him a Muslim or suggest that his birth certificate is fake. They could say he's not a real Christian. How is he going to respond to such accusations? They'll probably suggest he wants to bring back slavery, or that the trees in Chicago aren't the right height.

[yellowcanine]

114. Just when you thought it was safe to get back in the water.......

Check out a satirical tale about Momma Grizzly and the Tea Party
characters at -

www.stuartsdesk.com

It's a great story, suitable for adults and children alike featuring notable
personaities such as Newt Greengrinch, Gazelle Bokman, Pristine O'Donnel,
gRand Paul Parrot, Congressman Joba Raton and members of the media including
Wolf Bluster, Katy Corgie, Diane Sauger, Ruport Merduck and the News Fox.

Hopefully you will enjoy the humor, the ignorance and illogic of the key players,
the palindromes ("Palin Drones&quot and original limirecks.

If you like it, pass it on. If you don't like it, pass it on anyway.
