Foreign Press Says What American Press Is Too Cowered/Stupid/Biased To Say: Sarah Palin Is A Traitor
By Nicole Belle


Do you realize the embarrassment of riches I had in picking a video of Sarah Palin insulting President Barack Obama?

Apparently, the foreign media isn't as fearful of the tea party backlash as the American media is. They have no problem whatsoever saying what you will NEVER hear from any American media outlet: Sarah Palin is a traitor.

Sarah Palin has made it to the big time; she’s now being called out by international media. Yesterday, the Russian newspaper Pravda (this same paper has been quoted in numerous Right Wing publications when it criticized President Obama, and was considered a paper of merit at such time) eviscerated Sarah Palin for her unrelenting attacks upon the democratically elected President, at a time when America needs to stand together, united. When members of the International Press call Sarah Palin out for her lack of American patriotism, it’s time for the American Press to pay attention. It’s about time someone did.

Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey writes in Pravda:

“By attacking the democratically elected President of the United States of America at a sensitive time in her country’s history, she shows the tact of a boorish drunkard bawling obscenities at a funeral….

And now she turns not only against the fibre and backbone of her country, but against its democratically elected President, accusing him of being incompetent for not stopping Wikileaks. Where was she and where was her GOP before and during the 9/11 attacks? She accuses President Obama of not taking “steps” to assure the leaks were not published. What “steps”?……

If anything is a threat to the national security of the United States of America, it is this screaming, unrefined oaf with as much class as a searing release of flatulence followed by hysterical giggling at a state banquet. Is this what the people of the USA deserve?

One of my never-ending frustrations with the state of politics today is the absolutely hypocritical double standards in the national dialogue. Democratic politicians and activists will meekly question flagrant violations of law and their Republican counterparts will scream to the high heavens and condemn them on the floors of Congress. But Republicans can say the most egregious and outrageous things and no one will say boo. We still have two wars going on, an economy devastated by Republican policies, millions of people out of work and hurting (and the Republicans playing obstruction games over people's lives) and yet some failed quitter of a governor, who mangles the English language and issues edicts that the media waits breathlessly for on Facebook can insult the President in a variety of ways and the media is afraid to point out the hypocrisy and idiocy.

1. She is a no-account harpy and a schrew. The media has always loved a good cat fight.

They simply point and shoot without having to do any real work, then they go home early. That the media drones go home early is a kind of mixed blessing.

2. Sarah in a nutshell...

"a screaming, unrefined oaf... a searing release of flatulence followed by hysterical giggling at a state banquet."

3. Oh, I wouldn't say traitor.....

.....we use that term pretty loosely here. Palin is just a camera whore, lavishing in the attention she is getting and the money she is making. To keep the bucks rolling in, she does what Limbaugh, Beck and the other right wing hacks do, say and do anything for media coverage. Right-wingers like to hear things that make dems look bad. Doesn't matter what it is, whether or not it's true, or even if it's believable. They like to hear it and praise the idiots who say it. They reward these idiots with money, and lots of it!

4. I suppose they caught her...

...levying war against the United States, or adhering to its enemies, or giving them aid and comfort.

Because that's treason.

Nothing else is. Article 3 Section 3 of the Constitution.

Words mean things. We complain when conservatives do it, with 'socialism' or 'reparations' or whatever.

5. She and her entire family

are nothing but grifter trash. I don't think traitor is the right word.

[Safetykitten]

7. Very true. But also the blame is on our leaders sidestepping it also.

[old mark]

8. Rec. She is a member of the GOP who are all traitors to the American people. nt

9. "as much class as a searing release of flatulence followed by hysterical giggling..."

That's good.

10. Bancroft_Hinchey has an excellent way with words

I like the "screaming, unrefined oaf" part :-). Too bad our media is so busy kissing Palin's ass.
