Palin Has Thanksgiving Tantrum Updated at 1:55 PM
Edited on Thu Nov-25-10 10:31 PM by kpete
While i cannot verify that she wrote the message herself, I can verify that it was her Facebook Page. Every president, even Richard Nixon, has been able to let criticisms slide for one day. If Palin is serious about running, how does she plan to deal with the national press? How does she plan to cope with the Manchester Union-Leader editorial board? What's more, how will she react when the South Carolina State Republican Party unleashes the hounds on behalf of their chosen candidate? If Palin thinks she has it tough now, she hasn't seen anything yet. She better get a thick skin or get out of the way.
My fellow Americans in all 57 states, the time has changed for come. With our country founded more than 20 centuries ago, we have much to celebrate – from the FBI’s 100 days to the reforms that bring greater inefficiencies to our health care system. We know that countries like Europe are willing to stand with us in our fight to halt the rise of privacy, and Israel is a strong friend of Israel’s. And let’s face it, everybody knows that it makes no sense that you send a kid to the emergency room for a treatable illness like asthma and they end up taking up a hospital bed. It costs, when, if you, they just gave, you gave them treatment early, and they got some treatment, and ah, a breathalyzer, or an inhalator. I mean, not a breathalyzer, ah, I don’t know what the term is in Austrian for that…
Of course, the paragraph above is based on a series of misstatements and verbal gaffes made by Barack Obama (I didn’t have enough time to do one for Joe Biden). YouTube links are provided just in case you doubt the accuracy of these all too human slips-of-the-tongue. If you can’t remember hearing about them, that’s because for the most part the media didn’t consider them newsworthy. I have no complaint about that. Everybody makes the occasional verbal gaffe – even news anchors.
Obviously, I would have been even more impressed if the media showed some consistency on this issue. Unfortunately, it seems they couldn’t resist the temptation to turn a simple one word slip-of-the-tongue of mine into a major political headline. The one word slip occurred yesterday during one of my seven back-to-back interviews wherein I was privileged to speak to the American public about the important, world-changing issues before us.
If the media had bothered to actually listen to all of my remarks on Glenn Beck’s radio show, they would have noticed that I refer to South Korea as our ally throughout, that I corrected myself seconds after my slip-of-the-tongue, and that I made it abundantly clear that pressure should be put on China to restrict energy exports to the North Korean regime. The media could even have done due diligence and checked my previous statements on the subject, which have always been consistent, and in fact even ahead of the curve. But why let the facts get in the way of a good story? (And for that matter, why not just make up stories out of thin air – like the totally false hard news story which has run for three days now reporting that I lobbied the producers of “Dancing with the Stars†to cast a former Senate candidate on their show. That lie is further clear proof that the media completely makes things up without doing even rudimentary fact-checking.)

1. Silly Sarah. Barack Obama has demonstrated a history
of being an informed, educated man who is aware of both foreign and domestic politics.
You, on the other hand, have not. You have, on the contrary, shown yourself to be a buffoon of the highest order. Now please kindly go **** yourself with a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire.

2. okay, there are only 50 states
unless I missed something big...like the addition of 7 new states.
Really, this has to be a hoax. Even Sarah isn't so stupid she doesn't know there are 50 states. Or is she?
:scared:
No but, Obama did say there were 60 states, 57 of which he had visited.

4. "With our country founded more than 20 centuries ago......"
:silly:
:wtf:
I have to admit, I hadn't heard that one. Then again it isn't like when Bush misspoke and it was plastered on every channel. In fact it was either Hannity or Rush who I first heard of the 57 states from.

7. Pretty clearly a hoax. Don't believe a word of this
I can't confirm it's a hoax. Sadly, Sarah has yet to accept my face book friend request. But I'm pretty sure this is a hoax.
The only hoax is the man in the white house.

8. I'd surmise this is totally bogus
But wouldn't it be humorous to see Mrs. Palin asked at every public appearance from now until she concedes how many states she thinks there are?
Yeah it would be humorous only because you would be expecting her to get it wrong then your jaw will hit the floor in disbelief when she gets it right.

18. He meant the 57 voting "territories" during the primary
Other than the 50 states, the presidential candidates during a primary can receive delegates from:
1) American Samoa
2) Democrats Abroad
3) DC
4) Guam
5) Puerto Rico
6) Texas (Texas has both primary and caucus delegates, so gets counted twice)
7) Virgin Islands

13. Actually, she did not correct herself, the interviewer corrected her. Updated at 10:16 AM

Try to post that fact there, and it will be deleted within one minute.
Such honesty.
That is true however before that, she got it right every time. They kept going back and forth from NK and SK so it's totally understandable that she could misspeak. I bet you goons do the same thing only, no one listens to you to even notice.

52. Here's the link
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m913UIMw0As
It's posted by someone called PalinTV, so it might have been edited to make Pres. Obama sound like a fool.
Yeah that's it Palin edited it. She pulled an Alan Grayson on him right?

58. What a freaking reptile
I'm guessing that this is her "revenge" for her not understanding which of the Koreas is our ally. Freaking nit-wit.
Maybe she had read that DU thread about how wonderful NK is and got confused.
