StumbleLetter to the editor:
Martha Stewart has no business criticizing Palin
Thursday, Nov. 26, 2009 | 2 a.m.
I recently saw a video clip of Martha Stewart talking about Sarah Palin. I did not like what she said about Palin being dangerous. From my perspective, it isn’t what she said, it was that look of hate in Stewart’s eyes that got my attention.
I believe Stewart is jealous that Palin is everything she would like to be. Despite Stewart’s success in business, she could never do anything to receive the love and attention from the average American that Palin sees.
Palin stands for true American values, not insider trading and spending her free time in the cross-bar hotels of America.

Birdiedreamin says "you should see the hate in my eyes when i talk about w the scum bag liar loser clown..."
It is true that Palin's book out sold Martha
I can understand Martha's think that Palin is "being dangerous"
Birdiedreamin and the democrats are afraid of the convervative values message that are being communicated rather well be Sarah.
What is dangerous to Birdiedreamin and democrats is small government, personnel responsiblity, life, national defense, national borders
hey future...
you missed the most important part of my absolutely positively brilliant post above...
"that maggot ruined our children's generation in this once great country..."

and McDonald's...
unamerican...
pathetic clown...
not Ronald...
Martha...
How about them apples, Birdie!
Happy Thanksgiving
I am just giddy with excitement waiting for one of our friends on the far left to write a post demonizing Sarah Palin's family values and extolling Martha Stewart as an icon for young adults...
Martha Stewart said, "You could not pay me to
read Sarah Palin's book". Martha is 1OOO times
smater than Sarah.
Sarah quit her job in Alaska for 12 ethics
violations.
She is dumb and a crook.
Hey sissy, bed wetting libtards,
SARAH PALIN TSUNAMI is under way,full blast!!!
SARAHCUDA is kickin' a$s, taking no names
all the way to the White House!!!
Eat your rancid,hateful hearts out!!!
The teamster rants that Martha Stewart is 1000 times smarter than Sarah Palin, but not smart enough to keep herself out of prison.
All twelve ethic violations against Sarah Palin were dismissed.
Sarah Palin quit her job to write a book and make millions of dollars.
And the teamster is right when he writes that Martha Steward is "dumb and a crook."
Sarah Palin and Martha Stewart are two peas in a pod. Both are self-centered egomaniacs concerned only with the things that make them look and feel good. Martha Stewart is an over-the-hill household affairs maven who made her money trying to influence people to buy her brands of household items sold at Kmart, Wal-Mart and other outlet stores. Other than the fact that she did prison time for various financial transgressions, no-one would remember her.
Sarah Palin , however is another story. She is the present flavor of the month for some people, those who are easily swayed by the gibberish she spews while trying to carry on a normal conversation. Certainly younger, somewhat attractive in an over-the-top fashion, and woefully unprepared for any kind of national office, she would still be an absolute unknown if John McCain had not made the worst decision in his life, with the possible exception of climbing into his A4-D on that fateful morning in 1967.
Anyway, neither of these women are worth wasting time on, either by discussing the merits (or lack of) of each, or considering their future. Stewart's is over and Palin's will be over as soon as the acolytes who sing her praises, such as the writer of this letter, come to their senses and realize what a total fraud she is.
I WIN, I WIN!
I TOLD you guys a friggin' moron would use the word "acolyte" first!!!
no way I'm going to follow that. Piece of work! Praise be to BIG Don!
Couldn't a said it better with a dictionary.
oh, and Happy Thanksgiving to all of you regulars who enjoy shooting off your mouths, stuffing them, wrenching, grinding and flossing them. I love you man! If you didn't voice it, who would?
Shucks, airweare...you say the sweetest things.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Go =VanPalin= Go!!!
I saw that video clip with Martha Stewart. My immediate thought was, "Without a doubt I'll be voting for the candidate that is hated by the convicted felons."
Martha was pretty hot about 200 years ago. She proves the adage that "the face is only temporary."
Democrats don't hate her, in fact we're all rooting for a Sarah Palin/Joe the Plumber ticket in 2012. We can't imagine a nicer gift from the far right wingnuts than that.
Martha Stewart is just another big mouth know it all (BLUE BLOOD NEW YORKER AND CONVICTED FELON) That has know idea about real (red) America. Its woman like Martha Stewart that are scared of woman like Sarah Palin. Jealous if you ask me!
Sarah Palin/Joe the Plumber could not be any worse then what we have now...
SARAH PALIN IS HOT, HOT, HOT.
If you think what is in there now is bad just wait. I have total confidence that the voting public can elect something (someone) much worse.
Pass the turkey. Happy Thanksgiving.
Holy Smokes, TexMilan,
HOW MUCH WINE did you drink before 10am???
Gobble Gobble, Y'all, Happy Thanksgiving!
Hey, labdaddy, who pissed in your cornflakes?
palin is a light weight and hasnt done anything to stand out from other politicians. if you like her its only because the rest of the bunch are useless; give her time , she'll be just as useless.
Lucky for us Democrats the Republicans have
no leaders left. If Sarah is the best that
they have, we're in great shape.
Obama for 8 years.
Happy Thanksgiving.
I think we've seen the last of Sarah Palin as a candidate for public office. She'll spend the next few years milking every penny out of her flock of blind followers and then avoid the ridicule she so rightly deserves for being a political hoax.
No one will be more disappointed than the staff of writers of SNL and their viewers. OK maybe the Democrats will be disappointed too.
Great comment, Wayne.
Regardless if Sarah Palin decides to or not to run for another political office, she will be a political factor for the Liberals to contend with.
Middle America relates to Sarah Palin in a way the Liberals relate to Barak Obama.
Yes, Wayne, the Liberals do have reason to worry. They have tried to destroy her and slander her name in every way possible, but it didn't work. Now it's her turn to reek havoc on the Liberals...
Martha has memoralized herself to the retailers by using alabaster lamps she and her partners took from the owners. Some hairdresser needs to cut that look of the school girl tactician off of her trophy locks.
She appeared with David Rockefeller at his Stone Barns Estate in one of his horse drawn carriages,although I could not tell if I was looking at Martha or the tail and rump of the horse who had mistaken the carriage seat for the tonque.
god you guys ar funny. Martha's passe, but I'd let her cook and clean at my place as long as she promises not to make doilies out of my stuff. Now that Sarah Palin number, whoo hoo. She'd do to warm my sleeping bag and fillet and smoke me some salmon or grill up a moose burger to go with the PBR.
I just have a funny feeling, though, that both of 'em lack the Vegas kind of attitude that would endear them here. Martha's too stuffy and Sarah is a little too rogue for me. I prefer babes with some flair, but not that smart-ass dumb-ass flair.
It still amazes me how people continue to idolize criminals, felons. I stopped buying anything at K-Mart that had Martha Stewarts name on it when she was sent to prison - and I certainly wouldn't watch her on TV - come on people, where are your values?
Sarah Palin...where do I start. The VERY thought of that woman being one heart beat away from the oval office in this last election is very very scary.We are fighting our way out of a near depression this country has not seen since the GREAT depression....and one that was NOT created by Obama no matter what you say. You want that woman in the White House...wow !!
I felt the same way about Obama as Babyboomer does about Palin. The sad part is my fears came true. It makes me sick how Libs don't want to hold the Socialist accountable. Everything has gotten worse since he took office. Unemployment up to reord nubers, stimulus a failure, Pelosi Reid Health Plan a travesty, global warming debunked yet he still wants cap and trade that will kill industry and tax us into extinction. This country is being run by George Soros right now with the help of the Chicago political machine, and all you lefties can do is obsess on Sarah Palin. Instead of demonizing her constantly, maybe you should start paying attention to what she is saying about what's happening to our country.
"Middle America relates to Sarah Palin in a way the Liberals relate to Barak [sic] Obama."
Palin has steadily tanked with independent voters. They don't respect her. Only the far-right and christian fundamentalists hold her up on a pedestal.
Middle America has seen through Palin's phony attempts to rehabilitate her image. The more the wingnuts try to make Martha Stewart and Katie Couric the enemy, the more desperate they look.
Being convicted of the type of crime she did, Martha should have been banned from TV and making any type of money for ever. Instead she's making millions , what's wrong with this .......and she has the gall to say things about Palin
Dumb & Dumber.
COME ON, republicans!
You dishonor women AND your party with this nonsense.
The Liberals have no honor. They will slander anyone who dares to challenge their liberal propaganda.
Sarah Palin does not have to run for political office to be a political heavyweight factor in the next election.
Middle America has reinforced Palin's image by purchasing her best selling book and by showing up in great numbers at her public appearances.
While the Liberals on the far left continue to demonize Palin, her story and her political principles are reaching those with open minds...
Well Martha Stewart paid for her crimes, Sarah Palin is still making hers !
Palin revealed her sickness buy going on the Sean Insannity show TV/Radio and fielding softball questions. Inssanity is now buds with the neo-confederate band Lizard Skinner, who attacked renowned environmentalist and civil rights advocate Neil Young in song , in their vindictive song "Sweat Lodge Alabama"
So dt0702... What crimes are you eluding to? Or are just making small talk to pacify your liberal friends?
Inquiring minds need to know...
And mred... What sickness are you insinuating about or are you just talking stink again???
You know, Larry, I wouldn't be so proud of a book that Palin didn't even write herself. There's a heck of a lot more to being a great leader than selling a few books.
If that's your criteria, Jackie Collins is far more qualified than that less-than-one-term former governor from Alaska.
Her star-struck fan base is oblivious to Palin's shallow platitudes and backwards logic.
But no, it really doesn't surprise me that the quitter has a fan club. Some people think George W. Bush did a good job. Some people think Jim Gibbons is a great Governor.
You can count yourself amongst that group.
You know, ksand99, I wouldn't be so proud of books that Obama probably didn't even write himself. There's a heck of a lot more to being a great leader than selling a few books.
If that's your criteria, Jackie Collins is far more qualified than that less-than-one-term former senator from Illnois.
His star-struck fan base is oblivious to Obama's shallow platitudes and backwards logic.
But no, it really doesn't surprise me that the quitter (he promise not to run for President in his bid for US senator) has a fan club. Some people think Jimmy Carter did a good job. Some people think Biden is a great VP.
You can count yourself amongst that group
Oh, man! You'd have to be as dumb as a Rock to believe some wacky conspiracy theory that someone else wrote Obama's books.
Oh, I forgot who I was talking to.
I like this compare/contrast game with Obama and Palin. Let's play!
Which one won the election by almost 10 million votes? Obama.
Which one lost the election by almost 10 million votes? Palin.
Which one quit her job after failing an interview with a lightweight anchor like Katic Couric? Palin.
Which one was promoted to President of the USA by the American people? Obama.
And considering you've been a Jim Gibbons cheerleader on these pages before, James F Nance, Jr, while I've criticized Biden... that dog just won't hunt, there, James, err, Sgt.
Turns out you're just full of hot air.
Bill Ayers has acknowledged that he wrote "Dreams."
kiss&69: if Obama is such a genius, why does he smoke cigarettes?
ksand99 is so totally dumb about on how the world works. Most politicans and famous people get lots of help in the actual writing of their books.
There is strong evidence that Ayers helped Obama write his "Dreams" book or either Obama "borrowed" material from Ayers..... you pick.
If you believe that Obama wrote both books without any siginificant help from other writers than I got some real estate to you sell you.
But you propably believe anything considering the other koolaid crap that you believe.
Let's follow ksand99's outstanding logic:
I like this compare/contrast game with Obama.
Let's play!
Who has to use a teleprompter at nearly all his speech events?
Who is the one whole is mainly running and hiding from a news network?
Obama won by 10 million votes (faulty--ksand99 of course--comparision because the population is constantly growing).
Look who has won by more:
Reagan won by 17 million.
Nixon by 19 million.
Ike by 17 million.
Despite the terrible economy Obama only got some 53% of the popular vote.
Obama has the biggest drop in poll numbers in a president's first 9 months in office ever.

Which corporates are sponsoring Palin? This is really scary that big money will back Palin till the 2012 elections. Whats scarier is she hasn't a clue of whats going on. I Hate saying this, she's just another pretty face. Ugh.
Ah... More hate from the Liberals on the left. Here they go again, resorting to name calling and insinuating that people are "dumb" because they do not have the same "elitist" views as the Liberals.
ksand99 still thinks that Palin ran against Obama for President. It was McCain... More twisting and squirming from our elitist liberal friends...
fremmasmind currently thinks that Palin is running for political office and is looking for Palin's corporate sponsors...
"spin baby spin..."
Yup, believing wild conspiracy theories about someone else writing Obama's book is dumb! There's no evidence, just crazy conspiracy theories.
It figures someone like jfNanceSgtRock would believe that stuff!
He doesn't think Palin uses a teleprompter. How silly!
He thinks Obama doesn't give interviews to Fox News. He just gave one last week! How silly!
"Obama won by 10 million votes (faulty--ksand99 of course--comparision because the population is constantly growing)."
That's not faulty logic, that's an indisputable fact. Obama won by nearly 10 million votes. Count 'em and weep!
He says it's faulty logic, then suddenly uses the numbers of votes for a candidate to compare/contrast. Silly!
"Obama has the biggest drop in poll numbers in a president's first 9 months in office ever."
SgtjfNance32Rock's own source disagrees with him!
"The highest is Truman's 19-point drop between his third and fourth quarters, followed by a 15-point drop for Gerald Ford between his first and second quarters. The largest for an elected president in his first year is Bill Clinton's 11-point slide between his first and second quarters."
LOL, and Larry thinks the Ayers conspiracy theory about writing books is "elitist!" LOL!
He denies that people were given the chance to choose between Obama's leadership and Palin's leadership. Deny, deny, deny!
The American people chose the right leader for our times. Larry's just a poor sport.
ksand99 needs to slow down and read with comprehension as I did not mention Ayers or writing books.
Again, it was John McCain who ran against Barak Obama for President. Sarah Palin was on McCain's ticket as his Vice President candidate, just like Joe Biden was Obama's Vice President candidate.
So did ksand99 get it? I doubt it, as he would rather spin than address the facts.
