Sarah Palin Speech at Tea Party Convention

[bueno bob]

I was referring to the humor that was thrown in. Dumbass people, who voted for Obama, actually believe she said those things.

And then there are dumbass people who voted for McCain and Palin under the impression that Obama wasn't born in America, is an evil terrorist plant, a socialist/communist/nazi marxist or whatever and has America's demise at the heart of his agenda.

If you asked some Obama supporters the question" "who said that having a dollar menu at McDonalds would help sure up our economy?" They would say "Sarah Palin".

The same sort of people, no doubt, who believed that Gerald Ford fell over ANYTHING that got in his way thanks to Chevy Chase. I mean, this is nothing new here.

Not only in this skit but even worse in others. This one was actually mild compared to others.

So what then? Political satire is no longer allowed because it'll influence the weak minded? I mean, really, if it's gotta go for one side, it's gotta go for all sides. If nobody's allowed to make fun of Palin over the things that come out of her mouth, then nobody should be allowed to make fun of anybody over anything. That's really what we're headed to here.

Get Lorne Michaels on the phone...

Exactly, never proven.

Who cares? I wasn't making an issue out of it. She was "proven" to have abused her power as the governess though...

I dont think SHE ever acted like the Madonna, walking on water, etc. I think she claimed to be an American. And that her family was much like many American families, with a teenage pregnant daughter, and a child with Downs Syndrome, etc. I think she introduced us ("the People") to her family so that we could see that they are just like us, or at least MUCH like us. But, instead she got everything thrown back in her face.

Actually, I recall her being a moralist idiot claiming some sort of inherent superiority over those godless liberals. Then she sort of got owned by her own slightly awkward and dysfunctional family. If you're gonna play the typical bullshit GOP "family values," moralist card, you'd better have your act together!

I believe her daughter's ex also mentioned that she was fully aware they were having sex in the house...

Her pregnant daughter was the brunt of a nasty Letterman joke about having sex with A-Rod. WTF? Would Letterman ever make a joke like that about Obama's kid? NO WAY!! you know why?? because he would never get away with it. There would be a fucking lynching. But, with Palin, it's OK. She became his punching bag. And what about CBS speculating that her baby might not really be her baby. No, not the National Enquirer, but CBSNews. Have they ever made such speculations about other politicians and their families? Not that I know of.

And people wonder why she rarely does interviews.

Would you??

WTF does Letterman have to do with all this? Over the years he's mocked several prominent liberals such as Ted Kennedy and others. And I think Sarah Palin was punching back and eeking the most political sympathy mileage out of it she could...

And I'm sure you were so appalled when Rush Limbaugh called Chelsea Clinton "ugly" when she was just a kid. Or that Hillary Clinton supposedly bawled her eyes out over media comments that she was sort of whoring out her daughter with public speaking engagements?

I think the satire against the lying retard has been really mild and still is for a couple of reasons.

Firstly it's actually quite difficult to satirize someone that stupid because how do you exaggerate a grotesque.

Plus it makes you look as though you are being cruel to a mentalist who can't defend herself.

I never said it wasnt allowed, or that it wasn't funny. I said that there are people who voted for Obama who believe that Palin said everything that Fey said. Dumb ass folks.

Not saying that we can or should do anything about it. But, he did win the Presidency with the support of these dimwits.

Letterman stepped over the line when he joked about her daughter have sex with Arod. The hypocrit. And he did it because he knew he could get away with it. Because his audience has been trained to disrespect Palin.

Calling a teenage girl ugly is wrong, but saying that a teenage girl had sex with ARod is worse. You can fight me on that if you want to.

I never heard media comments of Hilary whoring out her daughter. I assume that whomever said that did not mean that the girl was literally having sex with people for money. if they did mean that then they are right up there with Letterman. I won't defend that.

But, you're right...what does Letterman have to do with this? After all, he is only a host on a little late night talk show.

YouTube - Tina Fey as Sarah Palin on SNL

LOL cos that satire makes more fun of Katie Couric's biased and pro Barry opinions than what that Tina Fey's (futile attempt at best) 15 minutes could ever accomplish.

Thanks again for continuing to prove our points Nick!!!

Seriously, I mean that. :D

And I'm sure you were so appalled when Rush Limbaugh called Chelsea Clinton "ugly" when she was just a kid.

I'm thrilled that you mentioned this Nick cos I think (and ALWAYS have!!!) Rush Limbaugh is an utterly, classless, piece of shit!!!

If I remeber correctly, he not only called Chelsea ugly but he said "The Clinton's not only have a cat named Socks but they have a dog named Chelsea" or something completely awful along those lines?

See, many of us aren't all clumped together as robotic consrvative Republicans.

Fey has a very popular show on besides SNL, so saying her "15 minutes" is about her Palin impersonation is about as accurate as saying Palin is "intelligent"...

if she didn't happen to look so much like Palin, the skits wouldn't have been nearly as popular

Possibly. Wouldn't have made them any less accurate...nor her vocal impersonation less dead-on.

Didn't make or break her career either way was my point.

true (about her career to a degree)..I was just sayin'

But, what do you make of all of Fey's bimbo-ish eye rolls and hand gestures. If you watch Bob's video, I don't see Palin doing any of that.

I guess that was her attempt at letting the dumbasses who thought it was real, know it was fake?? I can't think of any other reason for it.

I think the eye-rolls were playing up the overdone you-betcha "wink", thing she does continuously.


And I seriously think you're wrong when you assert that people thought it was anything other than satire, especially to the point it swayed their vote.

It is true that many of our one-toothed citizens (the crème de la crème) did infact believe Fey's impersonation to be factual. I remember when it was all over the news and these folks (you know, the one's with lots of tattoos... The true face of America? lol) who openly admitted that this was to be the first time they'd voted did infact actually believe Fey's impersonation to be Palin's for real.

That voter-description makes it sound like they'd be the typer MORE likely to vote for the McCain/Palin ticket. God knows THOSE types never would've voted for Obama regardless. Like those toothless rednecks in that widely-circulated YouTube video.

Not going to glorify inbreeding by reposting it here.

I'll agree with you regarding voters for both parties. I was just referring to the numbskulls who were interviwed that actually believed Fey was Palin and stated that sweyed their collective votes.

There are ignorant dumbasses on every city block within this country. Fuck, even within this site. Take Ace for example cos he's currently proving my point as we speak in non.
