StumbleLETTER TO THE EDITOR:
Palin has a way of bringing out the anger in people
Sunday, Nov. 29, 2009 | 2:03 a.m.
In his Thursday letter to the editor in the Las Vegas Sun, headlined “Martha Stewart has no business criticizing Palin,” James Behrendt writes that he saw a “look of hate” in Martha Stewart’s eyes when she talked about Sarah Palin.
However, that “look” might not be hatred. It could just show garden-variety anger.
I adopt a similar look when I feel sad and angry that some voters believe that democracy can afford so-called “leaders” who are inflexible, narrow-minded, slogan/stereotype spouting, simplistic, illogical and polarizing. I can see why Martha Stewart considers Sarah Palin “dangerous.”

Pam Price in describing Obama said
"I adopt a similar look when I feel sad and angry that some voters believe that democracy can afford so-called "leaders" who are inflexible, narrow-minded, slogan/stereotype spouting, simplistic, illogical and polarizing."
I agree that Obama who is a elected official and is driven policies in this country down a destructive path does not care about teabaggers and other conservatives fits the description.
Teabaggers are not about hate they are about changing Obama's destructive path
Liberals like Pam Price and Martha Stewart do have hate and angre against a message of family values, strong national security, small government, etc. and the messenger Sarah
sarah palin is dumb as a bag of rocks...
she is without question totally and completely unqualified to be president of the united states...
she's just too damn dumb...
that makes her dangerous...
that makes us proud liberal democrats angry...
moreover...
what makes our eyes fill with hate is...
we know the stupid pathetic lying republicans know this...
and yet they continue to support her...
even after w the scum bag liar loser clown just spent 8 years ruining the country...
that's where the hate comes in...
got that...
you stupid pathetic lying republicans...
who the hell would want to join the stupid pathetic lying republican party these days...
only l-o-s-e-r-s!!!
Future, you're too funny. Are you even comparing Obama, a person with an intellect, with Palin? Says a whole lot more about you than it does about Obama.
Future,
I thought the same exact thing as you when I read this letter...but I can't get up as early as you...LOL. And the fact that Birdie and Dingo dislike Palin is good enough for me to like and support her.
ps. to go4O: yes, it says Future is a good patriot. No one questions BHO's intellect, it's his character or lack thereof that we question. From all the people (socialists/communists) he has surrounded himself with in this administration, and everything he has done so far in his presidency, it appears that he is trying to destroy this country. We, the people, need to wake up and recognize this fact before it's too late.
Hey Pam: Lets just face it your nothing but another liberal woman that believes that all woman should be Democrats. 'Right' It's woman like you that can't keep up with Sarah Palin in life to begin with. JEALOUS! / Also don't forget Martha Stewart is a convicted felon.
Pam is full of hatred and anger.
She needs help.
Pam appears to be just another pro-choice Liberal who justifies her total dislike for pro-life women to justify her own choice of having had an abortion...
Obama's intellect is reposited in his teleprompter and the evil twins Axelrod and Emanuel. Similar to all Marxists, these three look for an ideological solution to any challenge or problem.
Larry,
While there is no indication in Pam's letter that she has had an abortion in the past, nevertheless you have hit upon something that has NEVER been mentioned anywhere before. Since 1973, there have been approximately 50 million abortions in this country...now allowing for the fact that some women have had more than one abortion(I've heard of one woman who has had 19), let's just say that 25 million women in this country have had an abortion, and probably just as many men who have encouraged/influenced/coerced women to have an abortion. That's a lot of guilt and a lot of sin that this country will have to pay the price for...maybe the price we will have to pay is having BHO as POTUS.
Martha Stewart hates everyone because she is a jailbird.
Why all the fuss over Sarah Palin? 17 months ago she was keeping house for 7 people. Suddenly every woman in the country is jealous of her because she found a way to get out of the house.
Plus she is very very rich now and does not have a mustache yet.
palin is a light weight and doesnt have any politival skills or savvy to survive in the jungle. her 15 minutes are long gone and attracts the bottom feeders of the political spectrum.
This is just about the height of conceit...
The dipstick calling Palin a light weight with no political skills...
Looks like to me the Governor has done pretty well for herself and even the Liberals on the far left know that we will be hearing a lot from Sarah Palin for the next several years.
But dipstick thinks that Palin is a light weight...
Hey libs (and RINOS),
You told us that Sarah Palin was finished after she resigned
Alaska governorship.
Is she politicaly dead? Or is she political genius,as Willy Brown observed at the time,saying that he never seen better political instinct.
SARAH PALIN TSUNAMI is under way,full blast.
By 2012 I will feel sory for Obama(nice,decent man,but should never be President).
Fighting against SARAH BARRACUDA will be painful
to watch.
Libs,I know SARAH puts terror in your hateful hearts.
Deal with it!
Some of you are not only vicious and hateful,
many of you are sick,right at the edge of a cliff!
Palin has at least fifty IQ points on the village idiot Obozo. She can at least say "good morning" without a teleprompter. Impeach the fool before it's too late.
"Let me be clear..." "Hey, who turned off my teleprompter?"
I respect all people and do not condone any form of hate, but there are real issues here than bickering over party affiliation. I'm neither a democrat nor a republican and I understand that neither party can be better than the other. Hate can be committed by any one, no matter the party affiliation. I am a victim of it. IF YOU CAN HELP THE CHILDREN OF MIND CONTROL AND BRUTALITY, THEN I AM ON YOUR SIDE. It can happen to anyone. More information can be found at www.mindcontrolforums.com. Below is a letter verifying the reality of mind control.

Dear Stein

Sincerely,

Huh???
Larry,
Glad you asked...I thought it was just me....he makes our dingo look sane.
The teamster will be along in a little while. I bet he will be able to decipher it in no time...
Tangy: Why did you choose this forum to post your blurb on Mind Control? Is it your contention that Palin is not to blame for her apparent lack of intellect and that the CIA is actually controlling her? That would of course explain just about everything, but really, how long ago had they targeted her? How would the CIA ever have known that McCain would bring her out of obscurity and onto the world stage? Holy Mackerel!! You must be trying to tell us that McCain was also under mind control and still is? Was it the CIA or Communist China that did it to him while he was a POW in North Vietnam?
Wow, this is so scary.
Well, there's something worse than discussing McCain/Palin's lack of intellect.
"A declassified CIA document dated 7 Jan 1953 [1] describes the creation of multiple personality in 19-year old girls (AND YOUNGER). "These subjects have clearly demonstrated that they can pass from a fully awake state to a deep H [hypnotic] controlled state ... by telephone, by receiving written matter, or by the use of code, signal, or words and that control of those hypnotized can be passed from one individual to another without great difficulty. It has also been shown by experimentation with these girls that they can act as unwilling couriers for information purposes." BB 32

Who knows? The McCain campaign could have been ridden with unintelligible mind control cyborges.
BTW,Happy Holidays!
Did I hear someone say that Tangy is related to the Dingo?
Maybe my wife went to that class and got multiple personalities. She has clearly demonstrated on numerous occasions that she can pass from a fully sane state to a crazed Dingo like state where nothing she says makes any sense or have any bearing on anything.
The more times I read Tangy's posts, the more sure I am that my wife is being controlled by some evil group bent on changing me into a Liberal or other lessor form of human being...
LarryVegas told us he spent the last 20 years on the public dole. That in fact he was one of those totally incompetent government workers he regularly complains about who has the rest of us paying for his health insurance and pension. ("... for the past twenty years, I protected the United States Borders as a front line armed U.S. Immigration and Border Protection Officer.")
Judging by the fact that in the past 20 years the number of illegal aliens who managed to illude him and his co-"workers"approached some 12 million, I can well understand and sympathize with his rational feelings of total inadequacy.
Did I let you in Stan? How about your family? Was that you dressed like a lady with a bird on your shoulder? No? Well, how about your sister?
Talk about inadequacy there Stan, did you take any of those pills being discussed on another discussion? They might perk you up a little. You sound as if you had a downer day...
Republicans like to believe that Democrats either hate Sarah Palin or are afraid of her. But I would like to set the record straight. We do neither. Perhaps they don't grasp the meanings of the terms derision and disrespect. Look them up. Neither encompass fear. Not even loathing. Mature adults do not fear a clown. We laugh at their childish antics. What does worry and perplex us, however, is that there are a fair number of right wingnuts who actually think this empty headed, sub-average intellect, would be a good choice to lead the country. I might even say that it frightens us a bit. No, not Sarah, just the fact that there are some of us out there who would actually feel good about casting a vote for her. Those are the ones who worry me. It certainly points out a problem with Democracy and the one vote per person concept. I wonder if the Founding Fathers had some bobble headed contemporary in mind when they set up the electoral college system.
I've drifted afield in my ramblings. Let me return to the subject at hand. We don't hate or fear your Sarah. In fact, it is our fondest wish that the GOP destroy itself for years to come by alienating the elite among you by praising and raising Mrs. Palin to be your standard bearer in the year 2012. I ask my like minded patriots to buy her book and donate to the Pailn/Joe the Plumber campaign. Best of luck to you.
Your so kind there Stan, and sincere too...
I take back what i said about you needing those Viagra concoction pills. You are perky enough without them...
Stan,
We know you libs are freightened by SARAH PALIN.
Bed wetting,sissy libs and spineless RINOS's
heads explode at the mere mention of her name.
Palins are trash like Texans.
Let's see, what rhymes with Nick...?
Where have all the Leftist commentators gone?
Hey mikegino,
Can't stop laughing!
Bravo !!!
The only mindless control are the drones who
follow, dumb as a bag of rocks, Palin.
12 ETHICS VIOLATIONS- SHE'S A CROOK.
Pam: GREAT LETTER.
I'm not a leftist, but moderate. This woman isn't even a good mother.
If Mr. Meow is a moderate then I am the King of England.
I am not sure why he considers himself a moderate.
He gets upset when illegals are messed around with.
Does he support ObamaCare? Yes
Does he hate Fox News? Yes
Does he hate Palin? Yes
Does he repeat koolaid talking points often? Yes
He even thinks Billy Graham is posioning the minds of Americans.
Meow thinks that Iraq's were happier with Saddam who the UN has documented murdered over 600,000 of his own citizens, had regional torture chambers, used gas on his citizens and entered into a war where over a million Iraq's died.
I have a feeling that Jesus is not so high on Mr. Moderate Meow's list. I pretty sure Mr. Moderate hates all religions (except perhaps for the Muslims who are "freedom fighters" and crash planes into buildings).
He is so moderate that he is constantly babling about how bad only Republicans are.
Yeah.....If you believe Mr. Meow is a "moderate" then I have this bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.
Come on Mr. Meow. Come clean.
Name one single issue that you a so called, "moderate" on.
I have a feeling that your talent for bull sxxt is more than just calling yourself a moderate.
Michael...
Name ONE THING that Sarah Palin has succeeded at.
HOLD IT: High School Cheerleader does not count.
And to all of you wing-nut Neocons...
There's a difference between hate & contempt. What the majority of people have for Mz. Palin is CONTEMPT.
According to a Reason Magazine columnist it is contempt because she thinks with her heart and not with her head - she, in fact, dominates the realm of the left (feelings not brains).
"What the majority of people have for Mz. Palin is CONTEMPT."
That statement either makes you a num-nuts or a Palin hater.
Which one?
I go with num-nuts.
Can you name one freaking poll that says that the majority of Americans have CONTEMPT for Palin?
Perhaps you need to change the koolaid brand that you are drinking.
Sarah Palins opinions are just as valid as anything I've read here. Her executive experience outweighs Obama's. She was responsible for a budget and the health and welfare of the State of Alaska. President Obama has just begun to fail. He will fail a lot before it's all over. 1138 days left of his administration.
Tangy = Canadian health care!!!! wow!
Sharp:
Palins husband ran Alaska while she was busy
getting ethics violations charged against her.
Anyone still backing her can't be too sharp.
Hey teamster...
Hows that bag of rock going?
What are you afraid of? Making up all these lies about Sarah Palin.
Do you think your manhood is being challenged?
teamster: Typical union reaction. Palin is a Republican and the unions always back the Democrats. Hence if your for a Republican, then you must be against the unions. Unions are always aggressive against what they perceive to be a challenge. It's how they're trained. Like good little brainless, thoughtless serfs.
Ok PvtRock (Being a Seargent doesn't take brains, I know)
"He gets upset when illegals are messed around with."
They're people. You have to know the definition of "illegal" to understand it. Obvious you don't know anything about law or ethics.
"Does he hate Fox News? Yes
I actually don't. I think it's an alternative to other news sources. Some of the commentators are retarded though (no doubt about that) and it's definitely biased to the right and not "fair and balanced" as they say, heck CNN is more balanced.
"Does he hate Palin? Yes"
No. I think it's foolish to follow a fool who couldn't even finish her term as governor. Irresponsible and wrong. You just don't do that if you're going to be a serious future candidate. I don't "hate" her. I just don't think she would be adequate. Make her speak in churches about taking care of children.
"He even thinks Billy Graham is posioning the minds of Americans."
That's because, he has. Along with Pat Robertson and other big name pastors. I'm a Christian and these religious leaders have been huge with the Republican party. Please, secularization!
"Meow thinks that Iraq's were happier with Saddam who the UN has documented murdered over 600,000 of his own citizens, had regional torture chambers, used gas on his citizens and entered into a war where over a million Iraq's died."
At least it was safer.
"I have a feeling that Jesus is not so high on Mr. Moderate Meow's list. I pretty sure Mr. Moderate hates all religions (except perhaps for the Muslims who are "freedom fighters" and crash planes into buildings)."
He's my number one. I don't know what you're talking about. I don't hate all religions. You see PvtRock, you're trying to depict me as an atheist/evolution/liberal type of person which is not what I am. Totally a Palin thing to do. I don't hate all religions, such a funny thing to say now that you mention it. Religion is a two edged sword, you should know that.
"Does he support ObamaCare? Yes"
Not entirely, there are parts I believe that shouldn't be in the bill.
"He is so moderate that he is constantly babling about how bad only Republicans are."
That's because the majority are going farther to the right than they should be. They're going into the direction of Classical Conservatism which isn't part of the whole general American ideologies. I'm glad I've found several Republicans who don't consider themselves that anymore, instead independents. The party is going to far and pretty much becoming a "white Christian nation" which I'm not a part of.
Try again rather than assuming the worst Private Rock.
meow thinks Sarah Palin is a fool, irresponsible and wrong. He also thinks that Palin should be made to speak in churches about taking care of children.
Is meow a sexist?
Maybe meow is just another left wing Liberal who puts his political beliefs above principles. Demeaning someone is just in his days work. Nice guys, these compassionate Liberals...
I'm not a liberal. You and I might agree on a lot of "conservative" values.
Sexist? no, never.
Maybe I'm not a right wing conservative who shove their principles unto others. Maybe it's bullying that Glenn Beck, but intellectually, rather than emotionally.
Tex Milan...drop what you're doing immediately and head to the closest hospital....you've lost your mind. She doesn't have a rats chance of winning a dog race no less "any" type of election.
Palin is ignorant white trash like her followers.
She is hateful and divisive. The Palin family is greedy, immoral, low rent trash.
Nick is the true example what happens when you let hate and bigotry overrun one's lack of intelligence and common sense.
And he has the nerve to call others, immoral, low rent trash.
Nick should be the poster boy for the lack of compassion shown by some far left Liberals.
I would have to go against Nick on this one, man don't go low. You might not like her but you should respect her at least just like any other person.
I'm sure she has no chance of winning an election, that will not be possible, but lets keep this mature.
Mr Meow (hey his so full of BS he claims to "moderate":
I guess you decide to hide and not answer a basic question.
Name one single issue that you are a "moderate" on and please describe your beliefs on that issue.
Mr Meow's moderate beliefs:
Hates hates hates republicans.
Hates hates hates Fox News.
Hates hates hates Palin.
Hate hates hates Billy Graham.
Thinks Saddam was a "safer" leader for Iraq.
Thinks illegals are cool.
He likes Obama Care except he prefers single payer.
Yep.......he is very moderate.
Sharp says, "She, (Palin) was responsible for a budget and the health and welfare of the State of Alaska." Big wow!
What Sharp doesn't realize is that Alaska's TOTAL POPULATION (626,932) is just a little more than the population of the city of El Paso TX (613,190). Her biggest concern as Governor, other than raising taxes and redistributing profits directly to Alaskans, (aka as socialism), was trying to get a second Target store to open in Alaska.
Jerry Springer was mayor of Cleveland, maybe he should run for president? More appropriately, Palin should be hosting a "who's your daddy" show.
Not too Sharp!
Hey Alf, er... I mean Gordon... Do you have any cats in your closet that you want to tell us about?
Your secret is safe with me and I won't tell the government officials to come get you. Give me your address and I will send a pizza over...
A little secret there Alf. If what you sayn is true, Governor Palin still had more executive experience than Obama...
Wow "sgt" Rock. I can't imagine a Sergeant ever been stupid. Well, it's not even an officer class, so what the hell, I can't expect anymore.
Some people are stupid, even when you respond every of their comments.
Hates hates hates republicans.
False. I think the party is going to the far right a little too much. I'm not the only one that thinks this.
Hates hates hates Fox News.
False. I don't hate Faux News. I think some of the commentators are stupid and it's in general biased. I don't watch TV so I really don't care.
Hates hates hates Palin.
False. I don't think she's got what it takes to be President since she didn't complete her tenure as Governor.
Hate hates hates Billy Graham.
False. I don't hate him...and if I did, how does that change my political stance? take up logic 101.
"Thinks Saddam was a "safer" leader for Iraq."
I didn't say he was a "Safer" leader, but the people in general were safer to do things. Go check out some real interviews besides Fox.
"Thinks illegals are cool."
I think they should be treated properly. The majority of Americans don't know why illegals are here and why they don't "apply and come the legal way". You have to at least speak the Spanish language to understand the issue.
"He likes Obama Care except he prefers single payer."
Uhh, wtf?
SgtRock, you should change your name to PvtRock. You're not smart enough for that. Wait, you don't have to be smart for a Sgt! Oh, no wonder the stupidity spews eat easily.
Your logic is laughable in every way. You assume I hate all those people and according to your logic, that makes me a liberal. Well you're wrong. I don't hate them. Understand that? I DON'T HATE THEM. I criticize them, ahh, do you know what that is? It's not hate.
I think you need to go and finish your GED because your reasoning/logical skills are that to a 1st grader. At least I was an officer...
Mr. Meow......again can't list one damn issue that he claims to be a "moderate" on then can explain his "moderate" position on that issue.
He is so full of BS.
Come on list your "moderate" credentials.
We are all waiting Mr. Meow.
Meow.
