Sarah Palin: 'Screw The Hollywood Left'

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) lambasted Hollywood liberals in a rambling speech at the Iowa Freedom Summit on Saturday. The party’s 2008 vice presidential nominee, who said this week she’s “interested” in a presidential bid, took the stage with to Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off,” feeding off the energy of the crowd as she jumped from conservative topic to topic. She urged conservatives, when considering their GOP candidates, to remember their “bold, conservative colors, not pale establishment pastels.”

Her speech was replete with memories of her own trips to Iowa, but she also focused on one recent controversy — defending criticism over the country’s top-grossing movie, “American Sniper.” Palin detailed how she and her family were friends with Chris Kyle, the Navy SEAL whose story is told in the biopic about the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

“Screw the left in Hollywood who can’t understand what it is we see in someone like chris kyle and all of our vets,” Palin said, referencing comments from filmmaker Michael Moore and others who criticized the movie’s portrayal of war. Palin said the Oscar-nominated movie from director Clint Eastwood was breaking records because “America needs a hero again” like Kyle, who’s credited with the most confirmed kills in U.S. history.

The Tea Party favorite also took shots at the Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton, saying the country was ready for different leaders. She slammed the left for pretending to offer change but instead readying for a “coronation — rinse, repeat, Clinton, rinse, repeat.” Palin also slammed President Obama’s government overreach, saying his executive actions when Congress didn’t act were akin to being “like an overgrown little boy who’s acting kind of spoiled.”

1. Hollywood left?

That doesn't compute. The most popular movie now glorifies a sniper so that belief is simply wrong.

[sulphurdunn]

19. When did the former Miss Wasilla ever compute?

[PatrynXX]

2. that ones gonna fall on deaf ears

in the year Hollywood swung hard right with one very White Academy awards. smh

and thats one angry spoiled lady

[arcane1]

3. Is this really "Breaking News"?

I hope someday we stop giving a shit what this fool says.

[vlyons]

43. I concur

who cares what nonsensical blather this woman spews? She's not even fun to ridicule anymore. Just a pathetic over-ego elbowing her way to be constantly the center of attention.

[onehandle]

4. Says the crappy actress weathergirl that makes Christine O'Donnell look like a genius.

Who the fuck do you think you are, grifter?

15. AMEN!!!!! n/t

[sulphurdunn]

20. It's just good business

to make stupid people famous in an idiocracy.

[BlueStater]

5. "Palin detailed how she and her family were friends with Chris Kyle"

Wow, I like him even less now!

[tularetom]

6. Gimme a break, she'd give George Clooney a BJ if she thought she could get some publicity from it

[sulphurdunn]

22. She could do that for every fat cat

republican in America, and she still wouldn't get the nomination.

[Dawson Leery]

7. "Screw the Nashville right"?!?

[MrModerate]

8. Who Palin is screwing is the Republican party . . .

Which can't escape the label of "the Stupid Party" so long as this aging mean girl still has a microphone.

You go, Sarah! Chase anyone with two brain cells to rub together completely out of the party.

[christx30]

48. Can't just blame Palin.

They are the ones that came up with the "Obama is a muslim Kenyan" meme. So any reputation they have as "the Stupid Party" are well deserved.
She's just joining their chior.

[pangaia]

9. She must be running out of cash.

[bulloney]

10. Funny how simpletons like Palin equate Hollywood with liberal politics.

I can name more Republican actors who later held a political career than she can name Democrats who did the same:

Charlton Heston
Arnold Schwarznegger
Ronald Reagan
Fred Grandy
Fred Thompson

The only Democrat I can think of in that category is Al Franken.

If you expand the field to ex-sports celebrities, the Repubs have a lock on that category, too:
Steve Largent
Clint Eastwood
Jim Bunning
JC Watts
Jack Kemp
Tom Osborne

[BlueStater]

14. George Murphy: actor and Republican senator from California 1965 - 1971

[deurbano]

23. Sony Bono

[subterranean]

41. We had Bill Bradley in the ex-athlete category.

[Stainless]

11. She definitely has a screw loose......

IMHO!

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

12. Bold and Conservative

are not synonyms. She's an airhead, dangerous though............

[hibbing]

35. sigh

Yeah, bold and conservative, like jumbo shrimp. Let me guess, tax cuts for the rich, let the "free market" determine health insurance coverage for millions of uninsured, family values as long as you are not gay, war, oil, anti science and the list goes on and on. Such bold bold policy proposals.

Peace

[TwilightGardener]

13. Just not as jazzy/pizzazz-y as she used to be. I think she's about over, as a force

in the GOP.

[brucefan]

16. "little BOY"

She figured out a way to get "boy" in there.Stay classy,Snooki.

[dhill926]

32. saw that too....

Caribou Barbie can go fuck herself....

[AzDar]

17. Calling an African American man a 'boy' is flat-out RACIST...

[IdiotsforPalin]

18. Other sites are saying her speech

was rambling and almost incoherent. Take a look at the Twitter responses:


http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2015/01/sarah-palin-delivers-bizarro-speech-to-iowa-freedom-summit-and-twitter-reacts-as-expected/

[yuiyoshida]

21. Something tells me she is going to be a Tea party favorite again

She really is ignorant and Fox NEWS is not going to expose that, but OUR Democratic Leaders have to stand up to her NONSENSE and focus on her stupid comments and bring them to light with facts. Democrats need to show this woman, who is running for the highest office in the land is nothing more than someone who is totally ignorant of the facts!

[juajen]

26. Is she running? That will be a laugh heard all over the world

[yuiyoshida]

31. She wants to be President of the United States

maybe that way she can raid the Treasury and get richer...

[vlyons]

44. oh lord! the thought of her as POTUS at a G8 summit

is frightening. Please god, don't let me have nightmares of Sarah Palin. She is no longer funny. She's pathetic.

[yuiyoshida]

46. ikr

bad.

[sulphurdunn]

30. Never forget for a moment

that the American electorate, kind of, more or less, elected GW Bush, who was every bit as stupid and far less popular than Sara Palin. He was, however, rich and connected to the right people in the right country clubs. That makes all the difference (consider Mitt Romney). After the McCain fiasco, Sara couldn't get an invitation as a golf caddy at any of the places where decisions are made over republican presidential nominees.

[Initech]

24. Inglorious Basterds would probably be too intelligent for Sarah Palin.

After watching the movie again last week, Seth Rogen is right - there are so many parallels between Stolz der Nation and American Sniper that it's not even remotely funny. And the GOP right is falling for it.

[BumRushDaShow]

25. "a rambling speech"

Does she do any other kind outside of something akin to word salad gibberish?

[JohnnyRingo]

27. "Liberals hate our soldiers in uniform"

See what Palin did there?

“Screw the left in Hollywood who can’t understand what it is we see in someone like chris kyle and all of our vets,”

It's this kind of subliminal mind rinse that Republicans strive to excel. Sadly, the Tea Party stands in evidence of it's overall effectiveness.

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

28. Ignore. n/t

[callous taoboy]

29. Go home, Sarah. You're drunk, again.

[heaven05]

33. The only thing

s. palin has shown herself to be these past few years is that she is the perfect spokesperson for the ignorant, racist right wing segment of the american political system that popped from the swamps and woodwork of american culture where they had been hiding for some years. Obama gets elected, the first POTUS of color, and they slither out and they immediately went into overdrive wanting "their WHITE house back". Disgusting amerikhhans like s. palin and her ilk has shown the world just how irredeemably racist and ignorant american culture is and truly ALWAYS has been. And personally I'm glad the sheets are back on and the gloves are off. To hell with palin. And our stupid media gives this clown airtime???!!!! geez

[Stephen Retired]

34. Screw the Hollywood Left? Fuck Michael Moore?

Todd must be suffering from erectile dysfunction!

[vlyons]

47. next to stupid, the best adjective to describe Sarah Palin is

vulgar. I find her extremely vulgar.

[frylock]

36. burn

[olddad56]

37. Hollyowod Left: Who is Sarah Palin?

[Xipe Totec]

38. I'm amazed she didn't quit halfway through the speech. nt

[Aristus]

39. "All our vets". Including me, Sarah? Fuck you.

Lose a couple of your kids to a bloodthirsty psychopath who loves murdering people for the fun of it, and then tell me he was a 'hero'.

You are an idiot, a moron, a greedy, brain-dead walking infectious disease masquerading poorly as something vaguely resembling a human being, and someone who makes me think that earthquakes, tornadoes, and tsunamis are just Earth's way of trying to shake off the shame of having to bear the presence of such a worthless, squalid ball of viscous protoplasm.

There. I think I said everything I had to say without using offensive, gender-specific terms.

Drop dead, Sarah. Now. Please. For God's sake. And everyone else's.

[busterbrown]

42. Thanks....

Eloquently stated... She’s a fucking weasel...

[a kennedy]

40. This is funny......a woman at my gym says "the sniper" won't win because hollywood doesn't like

Clint Eastwood because of his political views. Ugh..... don't talk much politics because they're all REPUBS!!!

[belzabubba333]

45. “America needs a hero again” like Kyle, who’s credited with the most confirmed kills in U.S. histor

no we need hero's like Jonas salk - any 1 from doctors without borders etc. killing machines are not hero's

[geomon666]

49. How Presidential, "screw em!"

Fucking hick.

[aikoaiko]

50. Locking

LBN is for big news of national interest only. Sarah Failin' rants just don't rate.
