Martin Bashir Says Someone Should Sh*t in Sarah Palin's Mouth

[Mostly Orbiting]

Wouldn't that be a waste of good fertilizer?

[Cooley Hurd]

1. Of course, he said nothing of the sort...

...but used a reference of what someone else said to prove a point.

That said, I wish he didn't use such a reference.

[canuckledragger]

4. That doesn't stop the right-wingers from lying that he did.

I've battled a few of them on mediaite.com where they posted the video.

Of course, they call him a misogynist and want to deport him...because speaking the truth makes right-wingers uneasy.

[RBInMaine]

17. It was the PERFECT reference and just what that IDIOT deserves !

[demwing]

19. Well, either Bashir called for Palin to be force fed human waste

or to be beaten and tortured.

First he establishes the methods slaver Thomas Thistlewood used to discipline a slave. This included beatings, physical abuse, and being force-fed human stool or urine.

Then, ruminating on Palin's ignorance, insensitivity, and generally negative impact on our national discourse, he concludes:

"If anyone truly qualified for a dose of discipline from Thomas Thistlewood, then she (Palin) would be the ideal candidate."

You don't even have to read between the lines to get that message!

[fasttense]

2. Sometimes fools need to be reminded of the absolute corrupted cruelty of slavery.

Palin with her "long deceased brain" is one of them.

3. I have to watch this guy more often.

I stopped watching MSNBC when Comcast bought them, but this is good stuff.

[iemitsu]

5. And why dooesn't it occur to Palin

that rather than take from our children or borrow from the Chinese we could tax the rich?
She should really stop pretending to know anything.

[valerief]

6. One thing wrong with this. Don't conservatives "like" having that sort of thing

done to them? Sickos, all of them.

[George II]

7. There wouldn't be any room for more, she's already full of s**t!

[SoapBox]

9. Ditto!

[yuiyoshida]

13. wow... hahahaha

[heaven05]

8. thanks martin

couldn't have said it better myself.

[IrishAyes]

10. Must agree with both of you.

[Plucketeer]

11. This is funny in that

I've professed for some time, that I'd love to mete out that VERY treatment to Palin and her fellow dementeds. Rush, O'duncelly, Handity, and so on and so forth!

[90-percent]

12. I'm curious about one thing in Sarah's speech

What is this "note" she's talking about and when does it "become due"?

Are those the same terms Paul Krugmann would use?

-90% Jimmy

[Spitfire of ATJ]

14. The "note" is also known as a U.S. Treasury Bond...

The Right Wing wants the rich to lose their money in the casino that is the Stock Market instead of putting it the security of the Bond Market so they are constantly claiming America can't afford to pay it's debts. That "America is broke", and they call those bonds "I.O.U.s".

This became apparent again in the 2000 election when Bush and Cheney were "talking down the economy" and had to be reminded that it was against the law for government officials to out and out claim that U. S. Treasury Notes including currency or bonds were useless. They get around that by not being specific.

I say we nail them down and expose their lies. Make them say what "note" they are talking about. You'll see them avoid answering like you had just asked them their ATM pin.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

15. I've always taken issue with folks

who describe Palin's interviews, speeches, ramblings, etc. as "word salad."

If I combine spinach leaves, crumbled bacon, a couple of hard boiled eggs, cherry tomatoes and mozzarella cheese, topped with poppyseed dressing, I've got several parts that, when combined amount to a helluva delicious salad.

Palin's words, however, when combined, don't amount to a hill o' beans!



Martin will probably get some flack for his comments, but I'm very glad he said them.

[Wilms]

16. Salad, a day or so after having been eaten.

They were trying not to be gross.

[thesquanderer]

18. That would be a switch. Usually bullsh*t is what comes OUT of Palin's mouth. (n/t)

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

20. If someone tells you that what they say isn't racist

it is.

The Republicans are the ones who run up the huge debts with their wars and tax breaks for the rich. The Democrats are left to clean up their mess, and while they are doing that the Repugs are yelling "tax and spend!" and doing everything they can to sabotage the Dems efforts. Sick puppies.
