Sarah Palin Has Some Campaign Advice For Obama Campaign: Dump Biden For Hillary – But Not Really

Posted by Ellen -7455.60pc on August 15, 2012 · Flag

Sarah Palin may be so toxic that her own party doesn’t want her speaking at their upcoming convention or campaigning with their nominees, but that doesn’t mean she can’t offer up campaign advice to President Obama. She just wants you to know she doesn’t really want him to take her suggestion.

In a lengthy interview with her BFF Greta Van Susteren, Palin said:

The strategists there in the Obama campaign have got to look at a diplomatic way of replacing Joe Biden on the ticket with Hillary. And I don’t want to throw out that suggestion and have them actually accept the suggestion because then a Obama/Hillary Clinton ticket would have a darn good chance of winning. But really, Joe Biden really drags down that ticket.

Predictably, Van Susteren didn’t note the ridiculousness of that “advice.” Instead, with her next question, she practically directed Palin to start going after Obama. Van Susteren noted that Romney was getting more aggressive toward Obama, quoted extensively from Romney’s attacks and then asked, “You’ve had a chance to look at the Governor’s speech. What do you think?”

He’s “really grasped the notion now that this is not a dress rehearsal,” Palin said. “I know how dirty they can get.”

Van Susteren pressed further. “We are still locked in an incredible battle… it’s almost like a contest who can be dirtier, who can be nastier in some instances.” As I previously posted, Van Susteren deplores dirty politics – except when it comes from the right. Just last week, Donald Trump reiterated his birther accusations against President Obama. Van Susteren presented the mildest of pushbacks instead of informing her viewers that the charges have been completely, definitively and unquestionably debunked.

Nevertheless, Palin went on to whine that “the media so willingly protects Barack Obama and his failed policies” – as if Fox were not a major part of the media.

“That’s why voters need to do their own homework,” Palin continued. Yes siree, what voters need to do is read “all” the newspapers like Palin does. That’s how she got so knowledgeable.

Van Susteren reiterated her concern about “beyond the pale” attacks from the Democrats (while ignoring same from Republicans).

“Name one prominent Republican who even comes close to – what, like, uh, the Allen Graysons, the Harry Reids, the Joe Bidens come up with and spew to the American public. I can’t think of one prominent Republican who talks the way that they talk – and certainly wouldn’t get away with the way that they talk.”

Oh, no? Let’s start with Palin’s own hate-spewing words:

Just last week, Palin called President Obama “nauseating” and “disgusting.” She has claimed he “does not understand the Constitution,” and falsely accused Obama of “palling around with terrorists.” And yet she is still presented as a credible pundit on Fox News.

Let’s move on to Allen West – Palin’s first choice to be Mitt Romney’s running mate. West has said liberals, Democrats, President Obama and Nancy Pelosi should “get the hell out of the United States of America,” characterized Democratic support for social safety nets as “the most insidious form of slavery remaining in the world today,” and made personal attacks against Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, calling her “the most vile, unprofessional, and despicable member of the US House of Representatives.” But last week, Palin called West a “military hero” – despite having resigned from the Army in disgrace, narrowly escaping a court martial for torture. Sean Hannity let the accolade stand.

And how about Michele Bachmann? Her McCarthy-esque accusation that a Hillary Clinton staffer might have ties to the Muslim Brotherhood drew condemnations from her own Party. And while it may have gotten some attention on Fox (though I’ve not seen any), none of them have been seized upon – much less challenged - the way Fox seized upon Obama’s “you didn’t build that” remark or Harry Reid’s comments about Mitt Romney not paying taxes or the Obama ad about a laid-off steelworker.

But Van Susteren – who is surely aware of the kind of Republican flame-throwing that goes on every day, all day on Fox News – responded by saying, “Alright, well, it’s certainly going to be a lot worse.” And then she changed the subject.

dd: I thought the boxing ad was racist and have condemned it myself.

However, Allen West has played the Race Card over and over again and Fox “News” loves him.

“But really, Joe Biden really drags down that ticket.”

Well, I suppose Sarah knows from “dragging down a ticket.”

Earth to the Whore Of Babble-On: President Obama does NOT need to take campaign advice from someone his ticket stomped by a 3 to 1 Electoral College and 7+ million popular vote margin.

@Derek Losey – Rick Santorum, August 2011 on the Obama admin: “They will put you in chains called ‘Obamacare,’ and you will never break away.”

Republicans should just stop with their faux-outrage and crying, right now.
-—————-

Yeah, I’m hearing lots of FOX “news” outrage over Biden’s "Romney is going to put y’all back in chains” (with regards to Ryan’s saying that the GOP would “unshackle” the economy). And, no doubt, that’s what instigated Palin to say what she did. But Ellen’s mention of Allen West caused me to recall something I heard on the FOX “news” channel via my XM radio yesterday….

Being that today (and probably the next several days – ugh!) are going to be days of outrage over Biden’s poor choice of words yesterday, did you all know that Republican Allen West also made some racially charged comments just yesterday on Cavuto’s show? No? Hadn’t heard FOX “news” bring that up, huh? Nah, in their typical unfair & unbalanced handling of such issues, FOX “news” can’t be bothered to show any outrage over West’s racial remarks.

While criticizing the racial elements in a political ad put out by his FL opponent’s father (the Jib-Jab style boxing ad), West himself also chose to play the racial card. After presenting the case for his/his family’s bona fides as accomplished citizens and an example of the American dream, he said “why would they want to attack that – because they’re threatened by that because we’re not part of that liberal, let’s be very honest, that economic dependency plantation which they would love to have.”

Plantation, huh? Really? If using racially charged words like Biden’s remarks gets FOX “news” panties in a wad, why aren’t they upset over West’s invoking the imagery of the slavery plantation? Btw, this isn’t the first time West has used the plantation analogy against Dems. He used it on BOR’s show (August 2011) to tell African-American voters that he was like the modern day Harriet Tubman who was going to lead them off the Democratic plantation and that some black leaders were “overseers”. On Mark Levin’s show (July 2011), he also said, “I’m the guy that got off their 21st-century plantation.” I have yet to hear any outrage from FOX “news” over West’s use of racially charged comments.

It should also be noted that Cavuto agreed that the boxing ad was racist and went on to say that “if the shoe were on the other foot, I’d be, oh my God, (unintelligible) as they should if it were on the other foot.” Again, really? Where have Cavuto and the other talking heads on FOX “news” been when Obama and his family have been racially attacked? I guess like BOR, Cavuto has never heard about the vile. racial hatred at poxnation and he’s never seen the Tea Party signs showing Obama as an African witch doctor with a bone through his nose. He, like BOR, the F&F stooges, Greta, etc. are apparently able to turn a blind eye to all the racist code words thrown around by their conservative guests. The list of direct and indirect racial attacks/use of racial dog whistles against the Obamas could go on and on – but just rest assured in the knowledge that if Cavuto was actually aware of them (eye roll), he’d be like “oh my God!” Pffft.

Gracious Gov. Sarah Palin’s crisp, clean commentary is always interesting, informative, & inspirational; never invidious, iniquitous, or injurious. She is tremendously talented & breath-takingly beautiful.

Sarah Palin walks into a bar holding a duck who is wearing a tuxedo.

The bartender asks “where did you get that stupid looking thing?”

The duck says “I found her in Alaska”.

Since the Obama campaign has come up with some very successful attack ads against Romney, the new Republican meme is that this campaign is just so full of nasty attacks. Its quite funny coming from people such as Palin whose popularity came directly from ugly, nasty, name-calling attacks on others. If you took all political attacks off the table Fox would have to cut their broadcast day by 7/8.

As usual, the Whore of Babble-On spews out word salad nonsense laced with venom. Her favorite Fux Noise toady, Greta Van Suckup, pretends not to notice.

There’s not many dumber than Palin except those that believe that she is something she is not.
