Flip side of that, is the <b> downside </b> of the Internet. While you and the othe two excellent blogs I have mentionned have spent thousands of hours on this story, it is likely that a career reporter, backed by the resources of <i>" expense accounts and the support a national publication or television network"</i> however, Gryphen, that ALSO means that they will get all the glory AND all the 'monetary reward' for breaking this story. <br /><br />Personally, I don't CARE which one of you (palingagtes/bree/IM) breaks the story and benefits from all the work/time invested.<br /><br />Of course, I don't know what kind of collaboration arrangement you 3 sites have, it's none of my business. BUT: I hope that you are all 3 protecting yourselves from the possibility that there is 'someone out there' keeping an eye on you, taking credit for your efforts. <br /><br />SO, rather than 'hope' for MSN help/interest/resources, can I suggest that you actively seek out such a partner? With an agreement for sharing the inevitable 'profits' that will follow this story? <br /><br />Protecting the actual website, is one thing. Protecting yourselves and your hard word is something else. <br /><br />I hope you have (all 3) taken steps to do that. <br /><br />AND GOOD LUCK! I am one of many who will be proud to say <br />'HEY I WAS THERE WHEN .....' <br /><br />I hope we ALL have a part in the book/movie, all of us bloggers-in-pyjamas who stuck by the Wild Ride Story!Archivisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06829798584006374181noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349535618367366554.post-2287562386384329662010-02-17T19:06:00.000-08:002010-02-21T09:14:56.748-08:00Dear Bristol, (updated with response by Andrea Freidman)<strong>Since</strong> you seem to think that you have the 'right' to lecture people about what is and is not appropriate, I thought I might take a few minutes to respond. <br /><br /><strong>First of all</strong>, some advice, Bristol. Do not make the same mistake as most of your Mom's fans which is: form opinions before checking out facts and informing yourself.<br /><br /><strong>BEFORE</strong> you go off on a rant<em>, or allow your name to be signed to one</em>, make sure you know what 'you' are offended about! If you are going to object to a TV show, shouldn't you at least have a clue about it? Fact is, Bristol, that <em>Family Guy</em> didn't mock your brother in any way. If you'd watched the show, you would know that. (Your Mom? Well that's another issue; hey, everybody with half a brain laughs at her!)<br /><br /><strong>The character</strong>, Ellen is on a date, a 'normal' activity for a teen. She is assertive, demanding and self-centered; a normal attitude for a modern teen-aged girl. She isn't a slobbering idiot who can't pick up a fork, she is quite poised. How is that mocking? <br /><br /><br /><strong>There are 4 facts we know about the character.</strong> <br /><br />1- She is a teen aged girl .<br />2- She has DS. <br />3- Her Mom is an ex-Governor of Alaska<br />4- Her Dad is an Accountant. <br /><br /><strong>So ... Think about this:</strong> <br /><br />1- Trigg is a baby boy.<br />2- He has DS. <br />3- His Mom is an ex-Governor of Alaska (open to debate, but for the sake of argument, I'll play along here)<br />4- His Dad is .... Well, what IS his Dad exactly? A fisherman? A oil worker? An ex Shadow-Governor? He isn't an Accountant, is he? <br /><br /><strong>SO ....</strong> Of the 4 'facts' about Ellen (the character) there are TWO facts in common, the Mom and the DS.<br /><strong><br />Now</strong> ... Let's go on to you: <br /><br />1- You are a teen aged girl<br />2- You do not have DS. <br />3- Your Mom is an ex-Governor<br />4- Your Dad is not an Accountant, right? <br /><br /><strong>SO, of the 4 'facts'</strong> about Ellen (the character) there are TWO facts in common, the Mom and the teen aged girl!<br /><br /><em><strong>Maybe the show was about YOU, Bristol! <br /><br />Maybe the girl, was YOU and not your 'brother' ! </strong> </em><br /><br /><br /><strong>A very interesting question</strong> then comes up. Since the first 3 facts can apply in some way to either you or Trigg, one can't help but wonder: WHAT WAS THE POINT OF FACT #4: MAKING ELLEN's FATHER AN ACCOUNTANT? <br /><br /><strong>It does become the 'factor'</strong> doesn't it, if looking for reasons WHY you and your Mom and She-Who-Writes-the-Notes immediately assumed that Ellen represented Trigg, when 2 of the first 3 facts apply equally to you and Trigg. Therefore, it's logical to assume that the 4th 'qualifier' (the Accountant Dad) is the one that IDENTIFIED Trigg. <br /><br /><strong>I'm just saying ......... </strong> Since 2 or the 4 traits are common to both you and Trigg, <em>WHY ARE YOU SO QUICK TO ASSUME AN INSULT TO TRIGG??? </em><br /><br /><strong>Is Trigg's father an 'accountant'???</strong> <br /><br /><strong>Did the show </strong>just throw that out in order to 'eliminate' the Palin kids OR is there a reason for that 'fact' being dangled out there? <br /><br /><strong>Is HIS DAD an 'accountant' ??</strong> It's a reasonable question to ask!<br /><br /><strong>NOW: ABOUT YOUR RANT.</strong> <br /><br /><em>****That was quite insulting</em> to the actress who played Ellen; Andrea Freidman is a successful professional with an impressive resume. She ALSO has DS. Look her up. I saw her recently on an old Law & Order SVU and she is quite talented. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWcWVqzfO90NAVH3Tz0OXja5z9KoQbLXhBcAG4XPCGBgb9K3F9Ckaw4qCOPMK3sOfL_4WXMt7DfBsdZeDpfmvwgvw6OlVtHs2tB5242yDAJ_MA2H74YsXP2vi3FZkbWq8nrHKDZ812H9k/s1600-h/Andrea+Freidman.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 89px; height: 99px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWcWVqzfO90NAVH3Tz0OXja5z9KoQbLXhBcAG4XPCGBgb9K3F9Ckaw4qCOPMK3sOfL_4WXMt7DfBsdZeDpfmvwgvw6OlVtHs2tB5242yDAJ_MA2H74YsXP2vi3FZkbWq8nrHKDZ812H9k/s320/Andrea+Freidman.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439418506460804210" /></a><strong>In my view</strong>, I would say that she is a <em>role model</em>. A great example of what a DS child can accomplish when growing up in a family with support, encouragement and dedicated care to the special needs of a child with DS. <br /><br /><strong>So Bristol, who do you think you are</strong>, to judge this young woman's work? <em>Her 'experience' is a whole lot more reliable than yours is insofar as the 'challenges' she and others with DS face on a daily basis</em>.<br /><br /><br /><strong>Who do you think you are</strong>, suggesting that Andrea is somehow 'wrong' to portray a teen girl out on a date, simply because that girl has DS? YOU Bristol are the one doing the 'gut kicking' ......... Insinuating that somehow, it's wrong to portray this very normal teen activity. <br /><br /><strong>BTW ... Bristol</strong> ... That SVU episode I mentioned earlier? Andrea played a young girl who had a baby 'by accident' ...... <br /><br />Do you object to TV shows that have unwed teen mothers too? Do you feel 'targeted' then too? <br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>Bristol, who are you to lecture others on kindness</strong> .... YOU are presently trying to keep your son's father from his life! Is that considerate to your son? Whatever your issues with your son's father, you need to rise above that, and do what is best for that little boy and THAT is doing whatever you can to NURTURE a relationship, not PREVENT one. <br /><br /><br /><strong>Stop whining about attacks!</strong> We see through it when your Mom does it, and we see through it when you do it. You make up 'attacks' then flatter yourselves that you have 'thick skins'. The 'poor me!' act might work with the sycophants you allow on FB but ... well the rest of us can read!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij1Lt6cqCrJQi5-OhmG8-Y0WsmHLDFCwwaUssxInoI1aXCuh0ajnraL3aAyChcgSdOrx3CgfFsm8kU7IrGyR1ZfshDx8o1ASHIkKYjn0mhV_kClekJTkvsgJbVMbNq2BDgm3eEIcG3yw0/s1600-h/trig_no_coat_2.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 113px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij1Lt6cqCrJQi5-OhmG8-Y0WsmHLDFCwwaUssxInoI1aXCuh0ajnraL3aAyChcgSdOrx3CgfFsm8kU7IrGyR1ZfshDx8o1ASHIkKYjn0mhV_kClekJTkvsgJbVMbNq2BDgm3eEIcG3yw0/s320/trig_no_coat_2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439435769141797474" /></a><strong>Stop whining about Trigg!</strong> There is only one person to blame for the attention he gets and that is your Mom who uses him as a prop and a shield. The lack of respect shown to that baby during the recent book tour was sickening, so please, save us from your outrage at imagined slights! <br /><br />Yours sincerely,<br /><br />Archivist. :)<br /><br /><br />P.S. I just read on <a href="http://http://theimmoralminority.blogspot.com/2010/02/sarah-palins-hired-gun-gives-levi.html">Immoral minority</a> that you are in the process of trying to pretty much destroy Levi. Bristol, he is your son's father; you can't hurt Levi without also hurting your son. Look at the effect your Mom's selfish decisions have had on you and your siblings ..... is that what you want for your son? <br /><br />Great PR work ... Shame on you, Bristol. Money doesn't buy class.<br /><br />Remember ..... KARMA!<br /><br /><br /><strong>***************************** UPDATE</strong><br /><br /><strong>Andrea Freidman </strong>has responded to Bristol's mindless rant in an email to the New York Times by saying that <a href="http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/02/18/family-guy-voice-actor-says-palin-does-not-have-a-sense-of-humor/">Sarah Palin doesn't have a sense of humor!</a><br /><strong><br />So now, Little Bristol</strong> ..... You are in a pickle, aren't you? After all, in your paranoid world, any challenge to a Palin, is an ATTACK! BUT ..... how can you respond to this ATTACK! when it comes from someone who actually KNOWS what she's talking about? You can't really tell Andrea that she has <em>'no idea' </em>of the <em>'challenges'</em> she faces, can you? Are you going to get into a FB fight with a woman with DS now??? Or, will you pull out the usual <strong>Palin Hypocrisy</strong> tactic, and make an exception when it comes to someone you can't possibly stand up to?Archivisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06829798584006374181noreply@blogger.com50tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349535618367366554.post-21077935866831037652010-02-02T12:25:00.000-08:002010-02-02T18:56:46.491-08:00SarahScamPAC: The Scam that is SarahPAC and the amateurs who get paid to make it worse!***************************************<br />********************************************<br /><br /><br /><strong>Monday, February 1, 2010</strong> must have been a hard day at SarahPAC Central. <br /><br />SarahScamPAC is exposed. <br /><br />SarahSalad writers are outted! <br /><br />And now, President Obama is getting all the headlines with his bold (and scary) budget. <br /><br /><em><strong>It's SHINY OBJECT TIME!</strong></em><br /><br />What to do? What to do? Good thing SarahPAC has her own personal PR and Political Consulting Firms to call on to keep her in the headlines! <br /><br /><blockquote><br />- I know! I know! Let's write a SarahNOTE! </blockquote><br /><br />So the busy little <a href="http://www.conservatives4palin.com">marmots</a> sharpen their claws & pencils, and have a peek at the Budget! <br /><br /><blockquote>- Jeeezasss! Sarah, look at all these ZEROS! <br /><br />- We don't know SHIT about this stuff! It's full of freaking NUMBERS! And these things called 'Entitlements'. WTF are those??<br /><br />- Holy SHIT, this has to be projected for a whole YEAR? <br /><br />- Some of this crap has to be planned for TEN EFFING YEARS! That's even farther off than 'Sarah!

The <em>retard?</em><br /><br />- You betcha, even the <em>lib-tards</em> love the Trig-Trick!</blockquote> <br /><br /><br />........... and so it goes! An outrage is born!. A diversion is created! <br /><br /><br />Tuesday morning, at SarahScamPAC Central: <br /><br /><blockquote>- It worked! It worked! <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com">HuffPost</a> picked up the SarahNOTE! Sam Stein is writing about it! WHEW! Mission Accomplished. </blockquote> <br /><br /><br /><strong>Yes!</strong> the SarahSalad Note got mentionned on HuffPost.com. <br /><br /><strong>Yes! </strong>there were 1000s of comments! <br /><br /><br /><strong>OOPS! </strong> Most of them pointing out exactly what SarahScamPAC was trying to deflect! <br /><br /><em><strong>Good Grief! You'd think SarahPAC was paying High School girls and Bloggers in Pyjamas to do her PR and Political Consulting wouldn't you? </em> </strong><br /><br /><strong>How did this Goat Rodeo of a PR fiasco happen?</strong><br /><br /><br /><strong>A recent story</strong> in the <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703808904575025030384695158.html?mod=WSJ_WSJ_US_News_5">The Wall Street Journal</a> has given Sarah's Note-writer a handy little shiny object for the Palinbots to focus on; lucky break! This week, the last thing SarahCentral wants is Palinbots, hungry for news about Sarah, to be going out into the real world and reading about the <strong>SarahScamPAC </strong>! <br /><br /><strong>So, lucky for them</strong>, an old story about Rahm Emmanuel surfaced! Nothing Palinbots like more than find a word they 'understand' to get outraged! OUTRAGED! about. <br /><br /><strong>Not a diversion, some might say?</strong> Hmmm well, the 'Timeline for Slow Readers' (or is that Non Readers?) goes like this: <br /><br /><strong>TUESDAY, January 26, 2010</strong>: Story by Peter Wallsten appears in the WSJ that reports <br /><br /><em><blockquote>The friction was laid bare in August when Mr. Emanuel showed up at a weekly strategy session featuring liberal groups and White House aides. Some attendees said they were planning to air ads attacking conservative Democrats who were balking at Mr. Obama's health-care overhaul. <br /><br />"F—ing retarded," Mr. Emanuel scolded the group, according to several participants. He warned them not to alienate lawmakers whose votes would be needed on health care and other top legislative items.</blockquote></em><br /><br /><strong>WEDNESDAY, January 27, 2010</strong> Rahm Emmanuel, according to <a href="http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0210/Emanuel_apologized_for_retarded_remark.html">Politico</a> <br /><br /><em><blockquote> ....called Tim Shriver Wednesday to apologize and the apology was accepted," the official said.<br /><br />Shriver is the Chairman and CEO of the Special Olympics, which has launched a campaign against what it calls "the R word."</blockquote></em><br /><br /><strong>January 30-31 2010:</strong> Disclosure Statements are released by SarahPAC detailing the financial INs & OUTs of the $2.1 Million <em>Piggy-bank-with-Lipstick</em> that SarahGrifter 'controls'. As most of us know, the smart folks at <a href="http://www.palingates.com">Palingates</a> had a busy weekend following every disbursement and tracking down the 'owners' of several firms providing 'Political Consultancy' services to SarahPAC. <br /><br /><strong>WHAT?</strong> The founders of conservatives4palin registered a company (within days of Bristol's! Coincidence!) that collected ***** from SarahPAC? <br /><br /><strong>WHAT?</strong> That private jet, was ALSO paid for by SarahPAC? The All-American girl, on her cross-county tour meeting thousands of first-time reader, didn't REALLY ride that <strong>SarahPAC-PAID-FOR</strong> bus all over <em>real America?</em> We knew that of course, but it's always nice to have official documentation, isn't it? <br /><br /><strong>WHAT?</strong> The shrink-wrap for that SarahBUS was paid for by SarahPAC?<br /><br /><strong>WHAT?</strong> SarahPAC bought over $60,000 worth of SarahSalad books to 'give' to donors? Oh yea, I remember that! A $100.00+ donation to SarahPAC got you an autographed copy of the book! Bought <strong>by</strong> SarahPAC <strong>for</strong> SarahPAC as gifts to donors. <br /><br /><strong>WHAT?</strong> SarahPAC bought an automatic signing machine? <br /><br /><strong>NOW THAT</strong> is too hilarious, and as Bobbie Wilkins, an astute FB friend posted <br /><br /><em><blockquote>I think that is pretty funny...Why would you want a book written by someone else that a machine signed?? No logic there.... </blockquote></em><br /><br />Indeed; but ... as we all know, logic and Palinbots are like ... like ... well, like "palinbots" and "real people". Never the twain shall meet! <br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>I could go on and on</strong>, but you get the drift of this grift, don't you. Read more at <a href="http://www.palingates.blogspot.com">Palingates</a>.<br /><br />So, Monday, in an attempt to find some SHINY OBJECTS for Sarah's Palinbots to focus on, the old story about Rahm's comment -- which had NOTHING TO DO WITH TRIG --- was incorporated into a SarahSalad Note for her Facebook page. <br /><br /><strong>I am just having a laugh</strong>, watching SarahEgo set up her 'friends' (sound familiar, Alaskans?) in jobs and positions that they are CLEARLY not qualified to do. <br /><br /><strong>A Scam </strong>is a Scam is a Scam. Ask Maddoff and his friends! (wink!)<br /><br />They could be pyramids.<br /><br />Some are more like trees.<br /><br />But, SarahScamPAC is more like a CIRCLE <em>SCAM </em> (ahem, you know what I mean?)<br /><br />SarahGrifter pays bloggers to write those Facebook notes.... <br /><br />.....paid by her SarahScamPAC donations......<br /><br />.....Donations from gullible people who send her their hard earned money...<br /><br />Hard earned money used to pay grifter expenses like a private jet and designer dressed bus on her book tour........<br /><br />For a book tour that sold books to put money in her pocket........<br /><br />...... when buying her OWN books with SarahScamPAC donations.Archivisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06829798584006374181noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349535618367366554.post-86819667908463237652010-01-31T08:05:00.000-08:002010-01-31T22:33:51.664-08:00Updated & Expanded: A Few 'Common Sense' questions: SarahPAC and where does the money go?**********************************<br /><br />Looking at the <a href="http://http://query.nictusa.com/cgi-bin/dcdev/forms/C00458588/449901/sb/ALL">Disclosure Statement for SarahPAC</a> a couple of simple questions popped into my mind.<br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>More than $132,000.00</strong> from SarahPAC money was used for the book tour. Is that what her fans think they are donating their hard-earned money for? So that Sarah can promote her book? Private jets ($27,000), expensive hotels ($1700.00 for 2 nights) the shrink-wrapped bus ($13,000) and almost $28,000 for a photographer -- (fans paid for their pictures too??) Why didn't Harper Collins pay for this? Or is there some double dipping going on?? <br /><br /><br /><strong>So here are my common sense questions:</strong><br /><br /><strong>If</strong> Sarah used the PAC money for expenses on her book tour, then it was a Political Event? <br /><br /><strong>And </strong>if it was a Political Event, why was she allowed to 'campaign' on Military Bases??<br /><br /><strong>The thing about PACs</strong> is that they are a great way for many people to contribute to the candidate of their choice. That candidate can spend the PAC money on pretty much any political expense. Getting your hair done before an event? Breakfast for the crew/family? Printing flyers? Making a phone call from a Hawaiian vacation to a TV station? Diapers for the Trig-Prop? Free books? Private planes? <br /><br /><strong>A BOOK TOUR?</strong> Well, I guess so! Sarah has several 'items' on her disclosure statement that seem to be related to the book tour ... here I thought Harper Collins would be paying for that, but ... nope, looks like the PAC picked up some of those 'expenses'. Did the PAC pay for all the security at the Military Bases? (I don't see that itemized, so I guess the taxpayers paid for that?)<br /><br /><strong>A while back</strong>, I posted about Bristol's company <a href="http://http://archivist1000.blogspot.com/2010/01/sarahpac-and-keeping-it-all-in-family.html">BSMP LLC</a>; I wondered, what does a young girl, barely graduated from High School, know about running a company that does Political Consulting? Have you seen her on Oprah, talking about abstinence? Did YOU see a savvy Public Relations expert there? She seemed like your average teenager to me. I thought at the time, and still do, that this company was just a front to absord the SarahPAC funds with easy tasks that someone with Bristol's <em>expertise</em> could handle while being paid (from SarahPAC) a handsome fee! <br /><br /><strong>Looking at the SarahPAC</strong> <a href="http://http://query.nictusa.com/cgi-bin/dcdev/forms/C00458588/449901/sb/ALL">Disclosure Statement</a> it's easy to see how spending money on just about anything is legitimate. Itemize an 'expense' to 'Political Consulting' and that's it! Keeping a lot of this hard-earned money, donated by the millions of gullible fans, <em>in the family!</em> Granted, there are no 'payments' listed to BSMP for 2009 .... but it was founded in September 2009, so they are probably still shopping for furniture and office equipment. Are the offices of the new PR/Political Consulting firm conveniently (tax deduction?) in the new house on the Palin compound? Right next to Sarah's FOX-at-Home studio?? Or are they next to Tripp's nursery? <br /><br /><strong>I predict that 2010</strong> will be a very productive year for BSMP! Bristol, being a young single Mom, has a LOT on her plate right now .... it takes TIME to learn all that political and PR stuff! And Sarah has to <em>progress</em> Meg into another position before Bristol takes over that lucrative contract! Will she take over writing the Facebook Notes that keep the fans coming back to read what Sarah doesn't know she 'wrote' ?? <br /><br /><strong>Speaking of the gullible donors</strong> .... SarahPAC received 2.1 million in 2009. Spent $64,000 on supporting candidates .... there is $900,000 left in the bank. So, where is the rest of it? According to Meg Stapleton (owner of IzzyLene Consulting) spokesperson for SarahPAC and all things Palin, they are very pleased with the amount of money taken in, considering they did very little fundraising. <br /><br /><strong>But, Meg that isn't quite true, is it?</strong> The PAC paid out thousands of dollars to ><a href="http://edonation.com/homepage.html">Edonation.com</a>. What did they do? Do they have a person on staff, full-time, making up Facebook identities and joining as a <em>fan</em> to boost the numbers? Because, quite frankly, the same few people seem to post there all the time! <br /><br /><strong>However</strong>, some excellent research at <a href="http://palingates.blogspot.com/2010/02/palingates-exclusive-sarahpac-paid.html">Palingates</a> answers where several of those $1000.00's have gone toward paying 'other' newly formed 'consulting firms'. Owned by people who are connected to some Pro-Palin blogs, and formed, I might add, about the same time that Bristol's company was formed! So, Meg, the PAC did very little fundraising?<br /><br /><strong>Other than the Book Tour</strong>, of course. How much does it cost to have a FB page? How much does it cost to plaster the link to SarahPAC all over the thousands of Pro-Sarah sites? <br /><br /><strong>As an aside,</strong> though: only 2.1 million? Wow. I spend a lot of time reading Sarah's OFFICIAL site, and her million+ fans are always talking about how they are sending money to her! I expected a whole lot MORE millions of dollars to show up at SarahPAC! Sounds to me that some of those posts about having donated were ... hmmmm... not quite true? Are they non-donating Edonation.com paid fans? Just askin' ....... <br /><br /><strong>Smarter people than me</strong> will no doubt go through the fine print of the statement, and good for them. I am just an ordinary, everyday person, who has always had an interest in Current Events, not an accountant OR even a <em>Political Consultant</em>! However, who knew it was so EASY to become a Political Consultant? <br /><br /><strong>OH I COULDA BEEN ONE!</strong><br /><br />***********************<br />***********************<br /><strong>UPDATE </strong><br /><br /><strong>FEAR IN ANCHORAGE MAT/SU!</strong><br /><br />1- Earlier this evening, I received an email that a listing on Anchorage Craig list that mentioned my blogpost about SarahPAC was removed, reposted and removed again.<br /><br /><em>There is also a post about this blog and Gryphens on there (rants and raves) and so far they are still there! <br /><br />Sarah or someone who works for her is earning an awful lot of PAC money monitoring anything that Sarah doesn't like! <br /><br />Well .... it seems that the people being PAID to monitor anything Sarah doesn't like are earning their $$$ tonight! <br /><br />I don't think the DONORS to the SarahPAC meant for their money to be used this way!!! But, that's OK .... I (and others) are ALSO monitoring you now ... and you can't delete my blog!</em> <br /><br />2_ So ... I reposted: <em><blockquote>Flag it if you must, it WILL be reported. In fact, I may post on other news site about this interesting turn of events. I am SURE Sarah will be proud of you, and pleased to see this story in the nationally read blogs!!! <br /><br />It's not as if CL is the ONLY place to post! As someone said on www.palingates.blogspot.com ... you're not in Kansas anymore, Toto! <br /><br />REPOST: <br /><br />I received an email about posts on here with my blogpost at http://archivist1000.blogspot.com/2010/01/commo... being deleted. <br /><br />Very interesting to me, when someone attempts to silence someone else. <br /><br />We know that Sarah does that all the time, well, at least I know, since my blog is about Sarah's fans on Facebook. I see it all the time, people being deleted for saying something that Sarah doesn't like. <br /><br />I noticed that a few other blogs are mentionned on here. www.palingates.blogspot.com is very good, and in fact that one is also checking out the SarahPAC disclosure list! Having posts deleted from here, will make it even MORE INTERESTING to dig into what Sarah's been doing with all that money her fans send her.<br /><br />Apparently, Sarah didn't think anyone would check it out? She must think everyone is as easy to fool as her fans are! Tsk Tsk Sarah, by now, you should know better! <br /><br />So ... now that I have found this site, I will be sure to keep you all up to date with what is going on with Sarah outside of Alaska! There is NOTHING more tantalizing than trying to figure out WHY someone wants to silence information! <br /><br />It positively makes me ..... WANT to dig even more! <br /><br />Information is what the 1st Amendment is all about, after all. And ... we all know how much Sarah LOVES the Constitution, don't we?? <br /><br />OH .. and please, DO keep those emails coming! I love to hear from you! <br /><br />As ever, <br /><br />Archivist1000 :)</blockquote></em><br /><br />************************************************<br />WHAT WAS SO SCARY TO SARAH OR HER PALINBOT ABOUT THE POST THAT WAS ORIGINALLY FLAGGED AND DELETED???Archivisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06829798584006374181noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349535618367366554.post-33571472185933776462010-01-30T22:41:00.000-08:002010-01-30T23:19:47.933-08:00Palins and Tebows for CHOICE; who knew?It's Tebow Time Again! <br /><br />The Tebow family is in the news! First, Tim and his Mom, Saint Pam are the spokespeople for the so called "Pro-Life" movement, and are partipating in a high profile ad during the Super Bowl. Then, the controversy about whether or not this is appropriate; CBS decide that it was, so the ad will run. Case closed, right??? <br /><br />NOT SO FAST ........ says Gloria Alred! Dear Gloria claims that the ad just might be based on a 'falsehood'! <br /><br />What???? A missionary and a falsehood? Say it aint so! <br /><br />It seems, according to Ms Alred, that Saint Pam's story has a hole in it; at the time that she claims to have '<em>chosen</em>' to carry Baby Tim to term, abortion in the Phillipines was ILLEGAL. Is it likely that a Doctor would have given Saint Pam advice to abort this baby?? <br /><br />Is it? <br /><br />Well .. what we DO know is that Saint Pam <em>chose</em> to have her baby, he was fine and Lo! and Behold! today we have the Miracle Heisman Trophy Boy (no, I don't mean OJ !!!) <br /><br />Isn't <em>choice</em> WONDERFUL ??? <br /><br />So, back to Saint Pam's <em>choice.</em> If abortion was illegal then and there, and a Doctor is subject to jail time for even suggesting it .. is it likely that he WOULD have? Ms Alred doesn't think so! <br /><br />Here is what I think happened. <br /><br />Saint Pam, trying to make herself appear 'brave' and 'wonderful' probably told a little white lie once, at a Bible Study group with only a few others present. <br /><br />A little exageration ... an attempt to show that <em>'See? A Doctor was wrong, and my faith in God prevailed!'</em> <br /><br />Missionaries DO tell stories to entice people ... all the time! Stories about miracles. Stories about salvation! Stories about floods and arks and dinosaurs being too big to fit in the ark, so they all drowed and became extinct. Stories about Sky Fairies that love people so much that no amount of pain and suffering and misery is enough to show this love! <br /><br />So, a story to the faithful, about how Saint Pam <em>chose</em> to have this baby, and some of those present for this testimony to god's amazing powers, amazed at the amazing story repeated it to others in amazement .... and Saint Pam Tebow was stuck with the amazement-making story. <br /><br />So it becomes part of 'who she is' ... maybe she even believes it now. <br /><br />These god freaks are used to believing 'myths and legends' anyway, aren't they? 'My god is wonderful, see what he did for me?' kinda thing. <br /><br />Remember the one about (insert bible myth here) ??? <br /><br />So the story is repeated, over and over again, until it becomes a PART of the Tebow legend! Carried away in fervor, years later, the story has now hit the MSN, she can't walk away from it. Saint Pam has become a symbol! <em>Ironically, she is a symbol for <em>CHOICE</em> though, but that's another story!</em><br /><br />Now, here's the funny part. <br /><br />In December, My FB friend, Patt Truman alerted me to this post by a Palinbot: <br /><br /><br /><em><blockquote>Palin Pal (says) Sarah, I am matchmaking. You must invite Tim Tebow, QB University of Florida to dinner. He is a perfect match for your lovely daughter Bristol. He is very religious and wears bible versus under his eyes for every football game. Awesome, Awesome person.</blockquote></em><br /><br /><br />I have to admit, I had to read it 3 times...... that 'versus under his eyes' thing really had me trying to figure out if dear Tim's eyes are crossed and fighting each other, of if bible thumpers have a different way of playing football than the normal folks do! <br /><br />Ok ... he meant Bible verses .... if he was such a good Xtian, you'd think he'd know how to spell that, wouldn't you?? Is it a requirement that Palin supporters be illiterate? Must be. <br /><br />So this is the funny part! A Palinbot thinks Tim and Bristol would make such a lovely couple! So much in common! <br /><br />Bristol and Saint Pam both <em>CHOSE</em> to have their baby, at least that is the <em>story</em>!<br /><br />How did a story about a woman <em>CHOOSING </em>to do what is right for her (true or not) become a spokesperson for an organization that would love to deny <em>CHOICE</em> to others? <br /><br />How did a teen aged girl, who becomes a single mother, become the spokesperson for <em>ABSTINENCE?</em> <br /><br />Why does every nutty story seem to have a Palin angle to it, anyway? <br />How did Tim end up being the 'link' to these two women??Archivisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06829798584006374181noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349535618367366554.post-43062911677523539502010-01-23T11:18:00.000-08:002010-01-23T11:29:33.255-08:00Sarah?

When Sarah then sets up her barely literate daughter as a Political Consultant not a peep about that! (nice way to spend the PAC funds AND <a href="http://http://archivist1000.blogspot.com/2010/01/sarahpac-and-keeping-it-all-in-family.html">keep it all in the family.</a>) This is old news to many of us, but to a Palinbot, the whole thing went under their low-radar; if Glen Beck doesn't tell them, they don't know about it! <br /><br />YES!! Send SarahPAC your $$$$ and 'Save the Country' .. 'Take it Back' .. 'Sarah Will Lead Us' They bought their own fantasy of who Sarah is, and Sarah played them like a cheap fiddle. (or, is that a flute?) <br /><br />Imagine their confusion, their outrage, their <em>dissappointment</em>, when they hear that now, out of ‘loyalty’ (AKA Politics As Usual) she is supporting McCain AGAINST the Teabagger candidate?? <br /><br />What happened to our girl?? What happened to Sarah? <br /><br />I hope Conan will forgive me, but ...... I can't help but be cynical about this! Sure, it's <em>possible</em> that Sarah really, truly, honestly believes in McCain! (yuk! yuk!) but .... it's a whole lot MORE likely that <strong><em>McCain knows a few of Sarah's little 'secrets' and is holding that over her head. </em></strong><br /><br /><strong><em>When the McCain camp descended on Wasilla last year, does anyone really think they 'destroyed' everything that might embarass Sarah? <br /><br />Hmmm I don't. <br /> </strong></em><br /><br />It's interesting that McCain even WANTS her endorsement though. Her track record at 'endorsing' isn't that good, if you remember, Hoffman LOST and so did that Governor What's His Name ... It's more likely that McCain wants her in his camp, so that she isn't mouthing off in someone else, isn't it? He gets her behind him, officially, then ... back to the curb she goes. <br /><br />McCain is smart enough to know he can control Sarah is she is officially on 'his side' even though he doesn't have to give her a microphone. He just needs to get through the Primary and THEN he can ignore her! <br /><br />So, Sarah's fans are all a flutter! WHAT??? Sarah is supporting McCain and NOT a Tea bagger??? <br /><br />What the HELL ??? They sent $$$$ to her SarahPAC for her to endorse PoliticsAsUsual McCain??? They stood in line and bought the book and read the stupid thing for THIS?? <br /><br /><br />For a laugh, go watch <a href="http://http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=261406923434&comments#/note.php?note_id=257959968434&comments"> heads exploding in Palinbot Land!</a><br /><br />Wink!Archivisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06829798584006374181noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349535618367366554.post-7719712232927664172010-01-09T06:16:00.000-08:002010-01-09T08:58:34.468-08:00Steve Schmidt: So, it was COUNTRY FIRST Steve?****************************************************<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRDXCDNjSqTXf5PkCakkWXm8oG5FDjwMOrTrwnQVTmojll-EjdjAj7bkH7iNhd5yGvza0u-4LSP4YS2-4rNefokPuOcx223Rw3efuk1D99E8deXicsOhEDo4-hXPhkGH2_Dch-jz5Bmuc/s1600-h/Bag+of+rocks.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424780549104189282" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 209px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRDXCDNjSqTXf5PkCakkWXm8oG5FDjwMOrTrwnQVTmojll-EjdjAj7bkH7iNhd5yGvza0u-4LSP4YS2-4rNefokPuOcx223Rw3efuk1D99E8deXicsOhEDo4-hXPhkGH2_Dch-jz5Bmuc/s320/Bag+of+rocks.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Palin watchers, from both sides of the <em>Great Divide That is Sarah</em>, are all a-buzz about the revelations from Steve Schmidt. Unless the upcoming 60 Minutes interview is very different than most of these shows, we've seen the most 'shocking' clips already in the teasers. Anderson Cooper is the interviewer? Oh, well that should be 'hard hitting'. Yawn.<br /><br />Steve S. was the senior campaign strategist and advisor to the 2008 presidential campaign of Senator John McCain. I guess part of his job was to oversee the 'Selling of Sarah' and judging from some of Sarah's comments in her book, she didn't like him very much!<br /><br />The McCain campaign slogan, 'Country First' sounded nice, but their actions said something very different.<br /><br /><br />Well ... excuse me if I don't consider Steve S. a 'hero' .... fact is that even though he KNEW Palin was a disaster, he was willing to work very hard to get her elected, and 'Country Be Damned'.<br /><br />If McCain had won, Schmidt would still be covering up Palin's incompetence, no? <br /><br />O'Sarah is not well informed? Hide her from the Press! <br /><br />O'Sarah will say anything for attention? Let her accuse her opponent of 'palling around with terrorists'. <br /><br />O'Sarah has skeletons in her closet? Scrub the closets! <br /><br />O'Sarah can't answer simple questions? Avoid questions! <br /><br /><br />Too little, too late, Steve. Don't get me wrong: I believe you. It's not as if I didn't know what she was at the time! BUT .... speaking up now doesn't make you more honorable.<br /><br />Seems to me that when Sarah was lying/misleading about Senator Obama, you were OK with that, it was just 'politics'. Now that YOU are the target of her venom, it's another story?Archivisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06829798584006374181noreply@blogger.com26tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349535618367366554.post-22501830821459316132010-01-03T19:51:00.000-08:002010-01-23T09:47:02.486-08:00Update: SarahPAC and Keeping it All in the Family! -- Bristol is a Political Consultant now! Really? asks Rachel Maddow********************************<br /><br /><strong>January 23, 2010:</strong> Oh, what do Palinbots do NOW? Sarah is supposed to be campaigning for John McCain in his bid to keep his seat in Arizona, BUT >>>>> JD Hayworth, a TeaBagger, just announced he will challenge McCain! <br /><br />All that $$$$ the Palinbots sent to SarahPAC, thinking she would support the Tea Party .... I see heads exploding amongst the Palinbots!<br /><br /><br /><br />****************************************<br /><br /><strong>Update</strong>: I just read on <a href="www.palingates.blogspot.com">Palingates</a> that Rachel Maddow covered BSMP on her show tonight; she even talked to Van Flein about it. His story is that Bristol has this 'company' because of her association with Candies? <br /><br /><strong>Really</strong>? <br /><br /><strong>Why wait so long?</strong> That spokesperson 'job' has been going on for almost a year now! It's more likely that Sarah is getting ready (in September) to cash in on the publicity that she knows/knew would come in November (and $$$$$ to her PAC) when her book was released; she needs a way to get her hands --- or the hands of someone she can control --- on that that $$$$$$$$$$$. <br /><br /><strong>What better way to keep the $$$$ </strong>in the family than to have her daughter in the business of 'political consulting' ??? You just pay the $$$$ for advice, and take or leave the advice, right? <br /><br /><strong>Unfortunately,</strong> I didn't get to see Rachel Maddow's excellent show tonight, but hope to catch the segment online later! <br /><br /><br /><strong>After reading</strong> about Bristol's <em>job</em> on <a href="http://theimmoralminority.blogspot.com/2010/01/turth-and-consequences-in-blogosphere.html">Grypen's blog</a> yesterday, I was curious, and decided to check out what an <a href="http://www.census.gov/epcd/naics02/def/ND541820.HTM">NAICS 541820</a> is all about! As soon as I saw: Political Consultant, I imagined this: (well, actually, FIRST I laughed, THEN I imagined this) <br /><br /><strong>One ringy dingy!<br />Two ringy dingy!</strong><br /><br /><strong>Bristol:</strong> <em>Hello. BSMP. Can I help you?</em> <br /><strong>Sarah:</strong> <em>Hi. Hello also. This is Governor Mom, I hope you can fit in a quick research project for my SarahPAC this morning? I am in a hurry to progress a story.</em><br /><strong>Bristol</strong>: <em> Sure can! You're our best (only) client! What do you need? <br /></em><strong>Sarah:</strong> <em>I need some in-depth research done, on Senator So-and-So; I need to make him look like he murdered his wife and buried her in an alligator infested bayou. Can you find something like that? </em><br /><strong>Bristol:</strong> <em>Should be a piece of cake, Governor Mom. I'll get right on google and wiki and check out the National Enquirer too! </em><br /><strong>Sarah:</strong><em> Again. Whatever you can find, also if he's ever even been near a bayou. Any bayou or a creek even. </em><br /><strong>Bristol</strong>: <em>Ok but what's a bayou? </em><br /><strong>Sarah:</strong> <em>Geez Bristol who cares? Oh and also. My pedicure. Schedule that. Pay for it out of BSMP then charge it to SarahPAC as usual.</em> <br /><strong>Bristol:</strong> <em>Hey can we all go? Me and Willow and also Piper too?</em><br /><strong>Sarah:</strong> <em>Sure why not? Don't forget to bill for this call. It's a Political Consultation about troops keeping us safe from Senators who might want to drown people in bayous like they could have done to their wife. Kids also, it's a reasonable question to ask.</em><br /><br />Sigh ... yep that was what I imagined! That SarahPAC money is just too good to give away!<br /><br /><br />*************************************** <br /><br /><strong>There isn't that much information on SarahPac</strong>. The sycophants on Sarah's OFFICIAL facebook site make donations to her PAC to 'support her in her efforts' ... which is another way of saying 'supporting Sarah' to do what she wants to do! <br /><br />What does Sarah say she wants to do?? <br /><br /><em><blockquote>We're going to work as Commonsense Conservatives for everyday, hardworking Americans by tackling issues that you care about and by helping candidates who will stand up for our nation. We'll help candidates (regardless of party) who have the courage to go to Washington or serve statewide and make the tough decisions needed to get our country back on track.<br /><br />We can't do this alone - this effort needs good, commonsense Americans now more than ever.

My book, Going Rogue, is dedicated to you - to Patriots - who fight for freedom!<br /><br />With an Alaska Heart,<br /><br />Sarah Palin<br /><br />Please know how grateful I am for your support.</blockquote></em><br /><br /><br /><strong>Yes, Sarah</strong>, I am sure you are being truthful there: You ARE grateful for the 'support' of your 'donating' fans! <br /><br /><strong>The PAC's goals are nicely vague</strong>. Basically, SarahPAC <strong>controls</strong> all the money, from donations .... and Sarah <strong>DECIDES</strong> how it is spent. <br /><br />She has to spend it on political stuff, of course. <br /><br />What kind of 'political stuff' ???? <br /><br />Flyers? Robocalls on behalf of candidates who don't want her help? Writing Facebook Notes to endorse a candidate --- who ended up losing a Republican seat to a Democrat--- Travel to speak in support of anyone who wants her (or even doesn't want her!) <br /><br />A dedicated, responsible public servant like Sarah would obviously, need to research the candidates before she decides who to endorse, right? <br /><br />Wouldn't be nice if there was a small company formed, where an 'owner' could spend all day googling for info? What would that type of consultation cost, I wonder ... <br /><br />I am guessing, it's a pretty pricey thing, having a professional political consultant do all that research. <br /><br />Lucky for Sarah, though, her barely graduated from High School daughter has started just such a company! <br /><br /><br /><strong>And ... thanks to <a href="http://theimmoralminority.blogspot.com/2010/01/turth-and-consequences-in-blogosphere.html">Grypen, and his amazing blog</a> we now know just HOW Sarah is going to spend all that $$$$$ her 'fans' send her out of their food budget! </strong><br />According to <a href="/https://myalaska.state.ak.us/business/soskb/Filings.asp?384209#">these papers</a> filed in September 2009 ... Bristol Sheeran Marie Palin has herself a nice new little LLC, Classification Code NAICS 541820 Public. <br /><br />What activities, you might ask (well, I did anyway!) does a <a href="http://www.census.gov/epcd/naics02/def/ND541820.HTM">NAICS 541820</a> engage in? <br /><br /> <br />Oh ... you know......... <br /><br /><strong><em>........The usual stuff than anyone with a High School education is qualified to do. Public Relations. Political Consulting Services. Lobbying. </em></strong><br /><br />Bristol who barely graduated High School ... yes, she is perfectly qualified to <blockquote>"<em>designing and implementing public relations campaigns. These campaigns are designed to promote the interests and image of their clients. Establishments providing lobbying, political consulting, or public relations consulting are included in this industry" <a href="http://www.census.gov/epcd/naics02/def/ND541820.HTM">NAICS 541820</a> </blockquote></em><br /><br />IF Sarah decides to pay BSMP LLC $500,000 to 'consult' ... she CAN do that. <br /><br />It's a <b>FRONT</b>to absord the PAC funds... avoiding tax on Bristol's earnings is small potatoes compared to being able to essentially PAY HERSELF out the the PAC to 'consult' and 'endorse' candidates! <br /><br />Bristol doesn't have to do a thing, all she has to do is accept the 'fees' for the 'Political Consultations'. <br /><br />And Sarah can 'pay' for 'Political Consultations' out of the PAC ... most of those donations by Sarah's schumcks are going to stay in the Palin family; some of it will pay for travel to speak and she might give $2000.000 here and there to 'candidates of her choice' ... but ... she can blow the whole wad on 'Political consultions' if she wants to! <br /><br />Political Consultations with BSMP LLC, her daughter's company. A daughter who barely has a High School education and probably can't name all the States.<br /><br />I wonder if Bristol has ever read the Constitution??? <br /><br /><br />I remember a post once, on Sarah's OFFICIAL FB page, where she solicits donations for he PAC ... some half-wit told Sarah she was going to eat rice for a week, and send Sarah her grocery $$$$. <br /><br />Thoughts???Archivisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06829798584006374181noreply@blogger.com59tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349535618367366554.post-66191372373909543912009-12-31T09:09:00.000-08:002009-12-31T10:37:26.040-08:00MSNBC: Wasilla Banning gets a minute in the MSM.************************ <br /><br /><br />Yea! FINALLY! <br /><br /><strong>MSNBC</strong> is covering the 'banning' story! <br /><br />They are quoting .... .<a href="http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2009/12/revealed_banned_list_at_going_rogue_book_event_dra.php">TMP</a> no names given, but ... it's a START! <br /><br /><strong>Unfortunately</strong>, they didn't mention the fact that while the event was strictly monitored by Team Sarah, pictures of the President photoshopped to look like Hitler were approved! <br /><br /><strong>This really isn't a joking matter</strong>; I wrote about this extensively <a href="http://archivist1000.blogspot.com/2009/12/sarah-palin-afraid-of-press-maybe-she.html">in a previous post on this blog</a>. <em>It speaks to the very heart of why Freedom of Speech is the cornerstone of freedom. Sarah's actions are an indication that not only does she NOT UNDERSTAND this, but that she feels empowered to ignore it! </em><br /><br />This is worth taking a stand! <br /><br /><strong>Why</strong>? Because I feel that Sarah ONLY has the power allowed to her by people who don't challenge her. Think of it as a parent who gives in to a toddler's temper tantrums, because it's easier than taking a stand against inappropriate behaviour; it's tacit approval/encouragement.<br /><br />Sarah once said (about redecorating her office, I think?): <br /><br /><em><blockquote>I can do what I like, until the court tells me I can't.</blockquote></em><br /><br /> <br /><strong>As long as people don't object</strong>, Sarah 'does what she wants to until the courts tell her differently' ..... <br /><br /><strong>If</strong> the few people who COULD take a stand don't ... then they are giving Sarah that power. <br /><br /><strong>This past week</strong>, I have sent many emails, posted on as many blogs/comments boards as I could, hoping to make as many people aware of Sarah's commitment to the Constitution and its spirit as possible. <br /><br /><strong>I urge people</strong> to take the time to do this. It's important to reach those people who might think Sarah is 'harmless' and highlight this serious aspect of why Sarah is so 'popular'. <br /><br />Let's not let the <em>'appearance' of being un-opposed</em> be un-challenged.<blockquote></blockquote>Archivisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06829798584006374181noreply@blogger.com39tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349535618367366554.post-7805401738650285332009-12-29T14:10:00.000-08:002009-12-30T08:22:55.990-08:00The Twitter Identity: Yes, it has come to this! If it's Twittered, it is Truth!******************************<br /><br /><br /><strong>It's bad enough when Sarah twits away</strong> on the internet, putting forth her wisdom in 140 characters or less to her mindless bots who can't read a 'policy statement' to save their lives! Judging by the endless praise her book gets on her OFFICIAL Facebook site, she is reaching out to people who don't read much to begin with. Twitter fits their reading comprehension levels. Got that. <br /><br /><strong>But</strong> ... somehow, for some reason ... I expect more from a lawyer. Call me naive. I know many attorneys, and for the most part, they avoid outright lies. Yes, you have to parse (very carefully) how they put forth their argument. Yes, you have to watch closely for what they didn't say, as much as what they DO say. <br /><br /><br /><strong>Thomas Van Flein </strong>ACTUALLY quoted a Twitter post, by 'someone' calling himself Levi Johston05 in a court pleading? <br /><br /><strong>Twitter posts?</strong> Really? <br /><br /><strong>This</strong> is both hilarious and thought provoking. <br /><br /><strong>The obvious conclusion</strong> is, as always: <em>if he used a fake Twitter account to support his argument, what OTHER fake/false information is in the pleadings? </em><br /><br />What does this say about him, as an attorney? <br /><br />-That he isn't very concerned with facts. <br /><br />-That he was confident his request for non-public proceedings would be granted, so nobody would expose his use of a Twitter post as unreliable evidence? <br /><br />-That he has the same viewpoint as Sarah does: If you say it often enough, it becomes a fact! (and faster if it's on Twitter!) <br /><br />- That Van Flein (and his associates) don't understand that the Internet, as good as it is at disseminating lies, is ALSO a great tool for truth. <br /><br />Tommy. Honey.... you have embarassed yourself with this one! <br /><br />I have written to <em>LeviJohnston05</em> and asked him to come clean on the joke; he should get a LOT of exposure as the guy who fooled Sarah's big time attorney! <br /><br /><strong>Oh .. wait</strong>, that account is INACTIVE NOW ... That must have happened MONTHS ago, when it was <a href="http://www.celebitchy.com/category/conan_obrien/">Exposed and Debunked</a> by Conan O'Brian who made a public apology blah blah blah ... I guess Tommy and his team of Legal Eagles aren't much better at 'fact checking' than Sarah is! <br /><br /><strong>Lucky</strong> for the rest of us, in the sane world, there are bloggers! <br /><br /><br /><strong>SO, Tommy </strong>.... join the 21st Century! Here is a reality: Just because Sarah 'says' something, does't make it true! And ... just because a Twitter account has a 'name to it' doesn't make it authentic. <br /><br /><strong>Oh ... and to prove my point</strong>, Tommy, I opened a Twitter account myself, I did it under someone ELSE's name! <br /><br /><strong>Guess whose?</strong>Archivisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06829798584006374181noreply@blogger.com18tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349535618367366554.post-14532654718626050992009-12-22T16:26:00.000-08:002009-12-31T10:43:52.018-08:003rd UPDATE--Sarah Palin: Afraid of the Press??

If you haven't seen it, go have a look. She is an Alaskan, with first hand knowledge of Sarah Palin.<br /><br />She recounts the boots-on-the ground report from a friend, Kim, who was at Sarah's exclusive book signing yesterday, in Wasilla. <br /><br /><strong>Two things</strong> struck me:<br /><br />1- We know that Harper Collins paid for the event .... that is what they say. So ... who else was there with Sarah? According to Kim, <em><blockquote>""Conservative Patriots" handing out their manifesto on "What is a Conservative?" They are the local Teabagging group"</blockquote></em> <br /><br /><strong>Harper Collins PAID for this??</strong> Do they know?<br /><br /><strong>2- MORE IMPORTANTLY</strong> ------ at this 'private event' where Sarah had TIGHT CONTROL over the people allowed there and what they did there .... Celtic Diva says:<br /><br /> <em><blockquote>The most disturbing aspect of this event for Kim was how much worse the mood and energy was in comparison to the Elmendorf book-signing. While they definitely took flack for her daughter's Obama shirt at Elmendorf, this guy (pictured above) was handing out magazines with President Obama pictured as Hitler. Kim said she'd never heard so many "Nazi" references involving President Obama in her life and as a veteran she was outraged. It seemed to her that between the "Conservative Patriots" and this whack job, the TRUE Palin followers had full control of this event. </blockquote></em> Thanks to Bill Hess and Palingates.com for this picture.<br /><br /><strong>So... NO signs against Palin!</strong> They are ripped out of the hands of a lady with a walker, journalists are banned BUT Sarah ALLOWED people to be "handing out magazines with President Obama pictured as Hitler" ???? <br /><br /><strong>The police</strong> confiscated SIGNS critical of Palin, but ALLOWED pictures of President Obama as Hitler to be handed out??? <br /><br /><strong>NO WONDER</strong> SARAH BANS THE PRESS at her book-signings!<br /><br /><strong>DOES HARPER COLLINS KNOW ABOUT THIS??? THEY PAID FOR IT.</strong><br /><br />I guess we now have a CLUE about why Sarah doesn't allow the press at her events! Middle America, (the part that isn't STUPID) wouldn't take kindly to Sarah's tolerance for defaming the President by her fans. <br /><br />Go have a complete read of both <a href="http://http://divasblueoasis.com/frontPage.do">Celtic Diva's</a> blogs, and <a href="http://theimmoralminority.blogspot.com/">Gryphen's</a>Gryphen's (one of the bloggers on the banned list). <br /><br /><strong>Sarah, be afraid,</strong> be very afraid .... you really did go too far this time! <br /><br /><br /><br />**********************************<br />***************************************<br />*******************************************<br /><br /><strong>DOES ANYONE ELSE THINK SARAH IS TALKING ABOUT DEATH PANELS AGAIN TO DIVERT FROM THE EVENTS IN WASILLA YESTERDAY ???????????</strong><br /><br />The manager of the sports complex, when asked why some people were 'banned' said: <br /><br /><strong><em>>....the signing was a private event paid for by Palin's publisher, Harper Collins, and Zaki and the others were not invited. </strong></em><br /><br />Funny, HC did pay for the event, but denied having anything to do with denying access to this 'public event'.<br /><br /><strong><em>>"At the end of the day, if something had gone wrong, it would have been my responsibility," Hastings said. "If I take three minutes on Google I can see that, given the nature of the people who were here, it wasn't in his (Zaki's) best interest to be here. He and others could have found themselves in a negative situation."</strong></em><br /><br /><strong>Really??</strong> Sarah's fans are just as thin-skinned and vindictive as she is ???? <br /><br />Well, Sarah's exercise in 'How to Appear Adored by Suppressing Dissent' has backfired. The story has gone viral, now. <br /><br /><br /><strong>Because this story does indeed have LEGS</strong> ! Way to go Gryph, you're in the big time now, don't forget the little people! ?<a href="/http://theimmoralminority.blogspot.com/"> Check out the immoral minority </a> for a great story/great post! Great report! (http://theimmoralminority.blogspot.com/)<br /><br /><strong>Other reports</strong>:<a href="http://www.adn.com"> the Anchorage paper </a>had closed comments for a while, but now has resorted to simply DELETING those that might offend Sarah or her fans. (Note: funny, all of a sudden, 4 of my posts have 'appeared' .. hours after having been posted!) <br /><br /><strong>Over at </strong> <a href="http://www.frontiersman.com"> The Frontiersman</a> (Wasilla paper) they did have a comment thread, but they 'moderate' before publishing, so rather than DELETE or MODERATE they are just ignoring all posts. Nothing since yesterday afternoon has shown up on their Comments board. Are we really going to believe only 19 people commented?? <br /><br /><strong>Shannyn Moore</strong> has an awesome story from a local woman who attended the 'love in' yesterday. <br /><br /><strong>Get this:</strong> she was wearing a LIAR T-shirt and had signs. She uses a <strong>WALKER!</strong> The Wasilla SS (Sarah's private police, it seems) took her signs and destroyed them! Read the full story <a href="http://shannynmoore.wordpress.com/2009/12/23/palins-enemies-list-alaskan-bloggers/#comment-11371">here</a><br /><br />***************************************************<br /><br /><strong>Sarah banned some members of the press in Wasilla today</strong>: So ... we know that Shannyn Moore was BANNED from Sarah's book signing ... and others, escorted OUT by her private "Wasilla SS"! Yep! the local police for no other reason than Sarah didn't want <em>certain people</em> there, did her bidding. Sarah's good ol' boys! <br /><br /><strong>When Sarah thanks the troops </strong>for fighting for freedom ... does she even know how hypocrital she is? Do her fans?? <em>DO THE TROOPS KNOW that she hasn't even read the Constitution they supposedly fight to protect? </em><br /><br /><strong>DO</strong> her 'fans' support Sarah more than they believe in the Constitution?? <br /><br /><strong>So easily bought off!</strong> The chance to see the Stupidest Woman in the USA, a hometown girl famous for winning the Biggest Lie of the Year Award, trumps the 'freedom' they claim to love more than anything! <br /><br /><strong>Have they ever READ the Constitution??</strong> The part about a FREE Press being essential to an informed public? Seems not; if they did, they didn't understand it, I guess. <br /><br /><strong>There is a reason that FREE PRESS is in the FIRST Amendment</strong>. If people aren't 'informed' they cannot make a reasoned choice... which I guess, is why, SARAH avoids the PRESS .. she doesn't want the 'real ' Sarah revealed.... the FOX version is better, almost as good as her 'biography' .... To know Sarah (the real Sarah) is to find out that she is .... just .... a fool. <br /><br /><strong>Sarah NEEDS her supporters to remain ignorant</strong>; they willingly oblige her! Why do people choose to remain ignorant? I don't get it! <br /><br /><strong>We all learned SO MUCH about Sarah</strong>, from her biography, didn't we?? I sure did! Of course, I can read, this isn't the 'first book' in my house! <br /><br /><em>What is Sarah so afraid of? <br /><br />Why do the people of Wasilla support someone who doesn't BELIEVE in the Constitution? <br /><br />Can someone REALLY support the troops, if they disrespect the very freedoms they fight for ?? <br /><br />Has nobody in Wasilla any pride in their country?? Do they 'claim' to love and cherish the Constitution? </em><br /><br /><strong>Wasilla</strong> must be even more of a backwoods enclave of uneducated people than I thought! Banning a press member?? <br /><br /><br />Is nobody there smart enough to ask themselves:<strong>WHAT IS SARAH SO AFRAID OF?? </strong><br /><br />Don't these people have any self-respect? Pride? Patriotism?

Someone posted a note on an Internet site threatening to gang-rape her at school. I never felt safe for her after that. Later, the same thing happened to Bristol." </strong></em><br /><br /><a href="http://http://www.juneauempire.com/stories/122009/loc_537591017.shtml#mdw-comments">The Juneau Empire</a> reports that neither the School Superintendant, nor the Chief of Police not the State Troopers who provided security for the Palins had any record of such a threat. <br /><br />Never heard of it, until Sarah wrote about it in her 'book' !!! How can this be?<br /><br /><br /><strong>IF</strong> these 'threats' to Willow are in fact true, and no report was made about them, what does that say about Sarah? She did nothing official about it? She just 'handled' it somehow? Despicable threat, dubious response on Sarah's part! <br /><br /><strong>HOWEVER:</strong> <br /><br /><strong>IF</strong> they aren't true ... and Sarah made it up or exagerated something into a 'gang rape threat' then ... what does that say about Sarah?? <br /><br /><strong>IF</strong> Sarah made it up (as Politifact's winner of the Lie of the Year, that is definitely a possibility) then it's even MORE despicable. <strong>Not only did she use her daughter to elicit 'sympathy' in a false story, but she ALSO planted a seed of fear into the hearts of parents and teenaged girls by implying that there are people there who would contemplate such a thing!</strong><br /><br /><strong><br />You know what we call people who try to achieve their goals by striking fear/terror into people's lives, don't you?? Sarah??? Do you know what those people are called??</strong><br /><br /><strong>Sarah never expected the fact checking did she? She just expected the check</strong>! <br /><br /><br />Fact checking, is a concept that seems alien to Sarah; in her world, if she 'says it' it's fact! Consequences of lies, be damned, Sarah never thinks of the consequences of her words.<br /><br />So, we have yet another Sarah 'story' doesn't hold up under fact-checking! Sarah claims there were 'threats' made about Willow .... but she didn't report them? <br /><br /> <br /><br />What does this say, once again about Sarah?? <br /><br />1- she didn't report threats against her own daughter; why? to protect her privacy?<br />2- she didn't mind including it in her book; why? if it happened long ago, why bring it up again? <br />3- she truly believes that <em>whatever</em> she says will be taken as FACT; obviously, she knows her fan-base is too stupid to fact check! <br />4- nothing is more horrific than gang-rape threats against a young girl, to be sure. What a great story then, for Sarah to use, to illustrate to her Palinbots how horrible people are to her and her children!<br />5- as we know, Sarah never misses a chance to use her children to elicit sympathy, or cry 'Attack!' or shield her from questions.<br /><br />Please. <br /><br /><strong>If</strong> this had really happened, it would have caused an uproar at the time. There would be records somewhere of Sarah's concern, or Willow's fear ... If Sarah felt there was a threat to her daughter(s) seems to me she would have kept her childrens' Media/Public appearances exposure to a minimum during the 2008 campaign AND during the book tour! <br /><br /><strong>If</strong> this had really happened, the woman who went after her brother-in-law would surely have been even MORE aggressive against someone making such threats about her daughters!<br /> <br /><br /><strong>If </strong>it's true, the authorities should be aware, not only to protect Willow, but to protect ALL THE YOUNG GIRLS AT THAT SCHOOL.Archivisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06829798584006374181noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349535618367366554.post-8039128800033310322009-12-20T10:48:00.000-08:002009-12-20T11:37:57.098-08:00Sarah's Tatooed Fan Discovers an Obama Conspiracy:<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKVp1UVQ2WLPEtLRLb2ip4Of-4XxRMFUTGk7fwoPM09qQigOWnu99KpmN_R3E7OIqb3o7hXRFndTp2QB22cjL4VQnEZtyjG1Yj-TeMkpMH0svcW3IRL3enU7Yaz5R0wboiS0999EX6kmc/s1600-h/tatoo.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKVp1UVQ2WLPEtLRLb2ip4Of-4XxRMFUTGk7fwoPM09qQigOWnu99KpmN_R3E7OIqb3o7hXRFndTp2QB22cjL4VQnEZtyjG1Yj-TeMkpMH0svcW3IRL3enU7Yaz5R0wboiS0999EX6kmc/s320/tatoo.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417392582350881490" /></a> Remember the 'fan' who had Sarah sign his back, then ran off to get it tatooed on? Well, JimBO is back, with a very 'scary' story he found somewhere on the Internet! <br /><br />As conspiracy theories go, this one is no more or less 'nutty' than the many others we can find on Sarah's OFFICIAL site. <br /><br />Based on a 'story' entitled <a href="http://www.eutimes.net/2009/12/prepare-for-rebellion-obama-orders-us-canadian-troops/">Prepare for Rebellion </a> it involves Russians (gotta have Russians!) and a scheduled desert exercise by Canadian troops --- as pointed out in the comments by someone who isn't stupid -- and a rebellion in California which is apparently going to happen early in the New Year. <br /><br />This is so Palinesque! <br /><br />First, it involves a tie-in with President Obama and Communism; picture of President Obama with a 'communist-looking' flag in the background. Pictures, to Palinbots, means you don't actually have to read the story! The 'story' doesn't say HOW this was discovered, so ... of course .... the implication is that the Russians are working covertly with President Obama to destroy America! <br /><br />In keeping with the Palin mindset that anyone who <em>DARES</em> to oppose Sarah, in ANY way, is the <em>enemy</em>, the target state for this rebellion is ....... yep, California! You know, Arnold's State; the Governor who just this past week disagreed with Sarah on the Climate Change issue. <br /><br />JimBo is following the successful Palin tactics. Puts out a 'nonsense' <em>what-if?</em> story, then lets it grow ..... nobody but Palinbots will believe it, of course but hey, it's a good diversion from them actually having to check-out what Sarah says.<br /><br /><blockquote><em>Jim Varner Has anyone seen this article?? Very alarming if true. http://www.eutimes.net/2009/12/prepare-for-rebellion-obama-orders-us-canadian-troops/</blockquote></em><br /><br />Much better to ponder in horror at an obviously ridiculous story than read a sourced review of some of the 'stories' in Sarah's book.Archivisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06829798584006374181noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349535618367366554.post-7687782949787986792009-12-17T13:40:00.000-08:002009-12-17T23:31:54.346-08:00UPDATE: Is this WILD RIDE: the sequel?

That's ok though, those Palinbots are a forgiving bunch, when it comes to Sarah; some might even call them 'apologists' for Sarah, since no matter what she does (or doesn't do) it's explained, forgiven or ignored! <br /><br />Sarah has just come off her book tour, where she was fawned over by the likes of Billy Graham, thousands of Military personnel, and MILLIONS, yes MILLIONS of adoring fans.

Like a walking billboard, Sarah heads for the crowded beach, ready to be photographed with the message. Message? <br /><br /><em>Message</em> you ask? What message?? Oh NO! HOW COULD ANYONE SEE A MESSAGE THERE? <br /><br />Palin said in the statement to POLITICO: “I am so sorry if people took this silly incident the wrong way. I adore John McCain, support him 100 percent and will do everything I can to support his reelection".<br /><br />So her story is: She wanted to be 'incognito'. Right. <br /><br /><strong>Because wearing a cap with McCain printed on it, is just so ..... so UNIQUE isn't it? I mean, NOBODY but Sarah would have one of those! She did the only thing she could do! Blacked it out, so that it would be 'discreet'. </strong><br /><br /><br />Sarah really thinks everyone is stupid! From her point of view, I suppose that's a fair assumption; since she has just met MILLIONS and MILLIONS of her fans, she could be forgiven for thinking the whole world is living in the same la la land. A quick wander into Palinbot land will confirm that:<br /><br /><em>1) those pictures of NOT of Sarah! <br />2) if they ARE of Sarah, then she was trying to be 'incognito'. </em><br /><br />Hey! That's what Sarah said too! What a coincidence!! <br /><br />I suspect that if Sarah told them "Those pictures are not taken in Hawaii, we just got a hot spell in Alaska today" ..... they would believe that! <br /><br />BUT THEN .. the OTHER shoe dropped!

What did she mean when she said that Israel should 'expand' by continuing to build settlements, because more and more Jews would be going to Isreael in the next days, weeks, months, years?? It was such a strange thing to say --- notwithstanding the fact that even Israelis don't think that ... <br /><br /><br />In my wanderings through blogland, I ran across this well written examination of Dominionism at <a href="http://dogemperor.newsvine.com/_news/2008/08/29/1803647-sarah-palin-dominionist-stalking-horse">this site</a>. (Though this is confusing as to the source, because I find the same article at DailyKos) <br /><br />The part that really caught my attention, was this one: (bolding mine)<br /><br /><br /><em><blockquote>It also appears that Sarah Palin is a member of a misnamed group called Feminists for Life. FFL in fact engages in "cultural appropriation" of women's suffrage icons to promote a very woman-unfriendly agenda that--despite attempts to sound "not like those crazies in Operation Rescue"--would not only criminalise abortion but the IUD and hormonal birth control methods, and potentially everything outside the rhythm method (the term "abortifacient birth control" is a codephrase in the dominionist "pro-life" community for hormonal birth control--partly due to a unique urban legend claiming "the pill" and other hormonal birth control causes abortion and partly because of a unique definition of pregnancy beginning at conception rather than at implantation (the latter is what most mainstream OB/GYNs use) and thus making *anything* preventing implantation potentially "abortifacient"). <br /><br />FFL promotes such fun bogosities as "post-abortion syndrome" (the idea that having an abortion will inevitably lead to PTSD and insanity), and promotes mandatory waiting periods and misinformation guidelines that can be insurmountable for poor or rural women--even those forced to make the most heartbreaking choice because of a nonviable pregnancy. In fact, one of their biggest causes isn't feminist at all--they actively promote the idea that the best choice for women is to stay home as fulltime mothers, and it can be well argued that the only traditionally feminist viewpoint they really support is women's suffrage! <br /><br />One of the big things FFL promotes is deceptive "pregnancy counseling centers"--where <strong>pregnant teens are forced to essentially listen to an altar call on how "abortionists want to murder their children" whilst a pee-stick test clears--and if she tests "yes", she gets a hard-sell to keep the child or to check herself into a dominionist-run "halfway house for teenage moms" where she will ultimately be forced to sign her kid over. </strong><strong>*</strong><br />(Yes, there is an entire private adoption industry in the dominionist community--mostly focusing on adopting out the infants of poor teenage mothers who have been forced to give their kids up and who have been either scared into it or checked into such facilities by their parents.) <br /><br />Ironically, FFL itself is rather a "stealth" organisation in and of itself--yes, even the dominionists admit this. Interestingly, despite their claims of being more "moderate" than most anti-abortion groups, very few real solutions are offered on how they intend to fund such things (which can be boiled down to "CHOOSE TO BREED"). </blockquote></em><br /><br />There are many scary things about Sarah Palin; her brand of Christianity is just one of them!<br /><br />* Note: Is there a dominionist half-way house in AK that ALSO treats Mononucleosis?

All I Want for Xmas is Wish # 2; A debate between Citizen Hitchens and Citizen Palin! Please, Santa, Please!<strong>Wish # 1</strong> ... I wish <em>Vanity Fair</em> had a more serious sounding name. Why? Because the name seems to imply that it's a fluffy fashion magazine, when it's not; it's an excellent publication, chock full of well-researched articles written by great writers. One of these, is Christopher Hitchens. Hitchens is a true Conservative, not one of these moronic Neo-Cons who came to power under their puppet Dubya; installed with formidable financial resources, backed by powerful-yet-largely unknown figures. <br /><br />Hitchens is always ready to present AND DEFEND his strong views; whether I agree with him or not, I am always left with something to think about after reading what Hitchens has written. <br /><br />Which brings me to..... <br /><br /><strong>Wish # 2</strong> .... I wish he would challenge Palin to a real debate. You know, one <em>citizen VS another citizen</em> <br /><br />I know he would have to 'dumb himself down' a bit ... but OH I WOULD PAY TO SEE THAT! <br /><br />Sarah, full of half-baked 'ideas' and nonsense 'fridge-magnet wisdom' would look like a bubbly puddle of mousse (pun intended) in no time; we'd get to watch the airhead deflate half-way through his first rebuttal! <br /><br />Hitchens on Palin; Morning Joe, MSBC Dec 15, 2009, talking about Sarah's WaPo OpEd. <br /><br /><em><blockquote>Don't be too hard on her. She didn't write that piece and she probably hasn't read it. I doubt she could either read or write it. Everything she does is for effect, she's, and is always deniable. She could switch back in a minute. At the moment she thinks her tea party crowd wants to hear this kind of thing so she'll say that. She's been out to say, 'well, I don't know but I think the President ought to produce his birth certificate. I'm not saying it isn't a good question. Then later, cause she's got to go to the Gridiron dinner in Washington, and learn how to use a knife and fork and be taught by Fred Malek. She takes it back. She's a disgraceful opportunist and a real moral coward. </em></blockquote><br /><br />In fact, I just wrote my letter to Santa about it! <br /><br /><br />Dear Santa <br />C/O Christopher Hitchens, <br /><br />All I want for Xmas this year, is a debate between <em>Citizen Hitchens and Citizen </em>Palin! Please, please, pretty please!

One of her fans, Bobby, who has obviously read Sarah's own opinions of herself! <br /><br />Responding to a post regarding Capital Punishement in Canada, Bobby says: <br /><br /><blockquote><em>Further evidence that you're living in your own little bubble and projecting your views onto the entire nation.<br /><br />Capital punishment: arguments for life and death<br />Canadian Journal of Behavioural Science | January 1, 1996| Honeyman, Jennifer C; Ogloff, James <br /><br />"Despite capital punishment having been abolished in Canada 20 years ago, the majority of Canadians continue to favour the death penalty as a sentencing option."</blockquote></em><br /><br /><br />Bobbby, Bobbby, Bobby .... what nonsense! <br /><br />This is SO typical of what I call 'Palinbots' .... trying to 'prove' an argument by providing a link to something that <br />1) you haven't READ<br />2) you don't understand <br />3) is irrelevant to your argument<br /><br />(((I've addressed this <a href=" http://archivist1000.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html">here</a> previously.))<br /><br />The 'study' you quoted is NOT about whether or not Canadians favor a return to the Death Penalty. Your quick google search found an article from 1996 in a Journal of Medecine which was about <br /><br /><i><b>"The present study was designed to investigate arguments which may be effective in persuading people to recommend a sentence of life imprisonment or one of death." </i></b><br /><br />The study goes on to explore the different ways an argument can be used to influence people to support the Death penalty; it has nothing to DO with whether or not CANADIANS support it! <br /><br />This is SO typical of Palinbots, I see it all the time... when it comes to Sarah Palin, the ONLY people who support her, are those who have no idea about policy, economics, current events or even HER! During her book tour, there have been NUMEROUS examples of the ignorance of the fans waiting in line. <br /><br />Q: Why do you support Sarah Palin? <br />A: I just LOVE HER!!! <br /><br />Q: What is it about Sarah Palin that you admire?<br />A: She is one of us! She loves God! She loves the Constitution! She will 'take back our country!" "She is a breath of Fresh Air!" <br /><br />That's pretty much it! <br />Here is one of those interviews, it's typical, you won't find anything that is 'informed' or 'thoughtful' or even 'logical' when it comes to Palinbots! <br /><br />((We all remember <a href="http://archivist1000.blogspot.com/2009/11/thats-not-breath-of-fresh-air-that-is.html "> THIS</a> hilarious example of Palinbot brilliance!))<br /><br />So Bobby, stop embarassing yourself; quoting a 13 yr old study that you haven't even read past the first paragraph doesn't support your 'argument' ... all it does is illustrates, once again, that you are part of a group of people who <br /><br />1-seem to take pride in their lack of knowledge (proud of their ignorance) <br /><br />2-have a shocking inability to interpret data (undereducated)<br /><br />3-are determined to avoid anything that would involve critical thinking or reading past a soudbite or an opening paragraph. <br /><br /><br />NOBODY who is the least bit informed, the least bit well-read or the least bit able to think, supports Palin! <br /><br />Your 'arguments' might work when you are preaching to a choir of equally <b>dumbed-down Palin supporters </b> but Bobby, don't try this nonsense on those of us who are part of that 'elite' segment of the population; you know, the people Palin sneers at BUT also desperately wants to impress. (that's not gonna happen, Sarah!)<br /><br />That type of 'argument'might work with her fans who feel 'smart' when she talks to them at Jr High level, but .. it won't work with anyone else! <br /><br />It might work on Palin's site too -- where I suspect you would fit right in -- since Palin's site is heavily censored and tolerates no rebuttal to her or her fans' 'words of nonsense' but those arguments quickly fall apart when challenged. <br /><br />This explains WHY Palin doesn't participate in discussions, or accepts questions, or isolates herself from reporters at ALL her events. <br /><br />RATHER, she HITS and RUNS in phoned-in OpEDs, writes NOTES on FB where she controls responses, doesn't grant interviews to anyone but FOX news. If it wasn't for Rupert Murdoch's heavy financial sponsorship, Sarah would have faded into 'has been' status a long time ago! <br /><br />She may be able to attract a crowd, but that would describe Britney Spears or the 'two-headed bearded lady' at the circus too! <br /><br />Anyone with half a brain is repulsed by Sarah Palin's brand of popularity and the people who support her.<br /><br />*************************************************<br /><blockquote><br /><em>Margaret DS says: No, I wouldn't pay $200 to hear her speak. I would never have voted for her. However, the comments in here about her are disgusting. I just might send her a $200 donation in solidarity with another woman who has guts. As for this being an insult to Canadians that's just drama queening.</em> </blockquote><br /><br />Margaret, you can certainly send your $200 in, it's your money; but please, don't send it in under the impression that you support Sarah as a 'woman who has guts' because that isn't Sarah, not by a long shot.<br /><br /><strong>It takes no guts at all</strong>, to say outrageous things when one knows these things are said from the safety of a Facebook page ... a page that heavily censors any and all comments that might challenge what Sarah says. <br /><br /><strong>It takes no 'guts'</strong> to phone in an OpEd into the Washington Post (owned by her mentor, Rupert Murdoch) where she opines her superficial knowledge on Energy or Climate issues, yet refuses to acknowledge any invitation to discuss her 'ideas' with anyone who has true expertise on the topics. <br /><br /><strong>It takes no 'guts'</strong> to go on FOX (again, owned by Rupert Murdoch) to be handed softball questions under the guise of an interview.<br /><br /><br /><strong>It takes no 'guts'</strong> to publish a book (again, published by Rupert Murdoch) where she fabricates flattering stories about herself and engages in a High School girl vendetta against anyone who has dared challenge her in the past. <br /><br /><strong>It takes </strong>no 'guts' to accuse her opponent of outrageous activities, when she knows she won't be subjected to any serious demands for explanations by a mainstream press. <br /><br />So please, admire her if you like for her true strength, which is the ability to suck the air of out any serious discussion by bogging it down to endless soundbite nonsense. Or, her amazing ability to allow the least informed and dumbed down segment of the population to see 'themselves' in her, while she jets aroud in private jets, get a multi million dollar book contract to 'not write' a book or builds herself a Kennedy style compound in Alaska! <br /><br /><strong>That</strong> is amazing ... but her courage to 'say it like it is' .. well that isn't courage in her case, it's Hit and Run cowardice. <br /><br /><br />*************************************************<br /><br /><br /><em><blockquote>Kerry Donnelly said "It is a blast watching commie pinko Canadian heads explode over the notion that the SarahCuda will be in Hamiliton speaking.<br /><br />It just goes to show judging by these comments that Canadians, contrary to their own self-image, are a backward, intolerant, badly educated, and non-productive ward of the Queen's own State." </blockquote></em><br /><br /><br />I am so glad Mr Donnelly took the time to post on <a href="http://thespec.typepad.com/specthread/2009/12/palin-power.html">here</a> ; had he not, many people wouldn't understand the 'depth' of ignorance that a typical Palin supporter proudly displays.Archivisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06829798584006374181noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349535618367366554.post-91209460154223181132009-12-13T14:59:00.000-08:002009-12-14T12:00:37.511-08:00And so it goes ...... Sarah 'Streetwalks her Stuff' in Canada, for a price!!*****************************************************<br /><br /><br />I'm sure I'm not the first one to think of this famous George Bernard Shaw anecdote, regarding Sarah's speaking gig next April in Canada, but, it belongs here: <br /><br /><blockquote>GBS: Madam, would you sleep with me for a million pounds? <br />Actress: My goodness, Well, I’d certainly think about it. <br />GBS: Would you sleep with me for a pound? <br />Actress: Certainly not! What kind of woman do you think I am?! <br />GBS: Madam, we’ve already established that. Now we are haggling about the price. </blockquote><br /><br />......... because that is what Sarah is, an 'actress' who will take on whatever role will bring in the most money or attention! <br /><br />She does't have to 'understand' her lines, or where the plot is going; she just has to repeat her lines, with conviction .... Sarah is the Meryl Streep of Politics, isn't she? <br /><br />Honestly, what else can one say about Sarah, in light of the announcement that she has accepted an engagement speaking at a FUNDRAISER in Canada?? A FUNDRAISER for a 'socialist hospital' that performs abortions, gives end of life counseling to its terminal patients (known as 'death panels in Sarah's world). <br /><br />Whoring oneself, whether it's your body or your support, is still whoring! <br /><br />For the right price, Sarah is available! <br /><br />So, I've been doing my thing on the message board of the local paper for Hamilton, Ontario Canada, where Sarah is reported to have accepted $200,000 to help in a FUNDRAISING event for the very type of health care facility she so BRAVELY rails against, from the safety of Facebook and unchallenged OpEd pages. <br /><br />The newspaper conducted a poll about this engagement, and the results were 9 to 1 AGAINST IT .. and early comments supported this poll. Then, the story appeared on The Huffington Post and the poll numbers changed ..of course, the Palinbots have shown up <a href="http://thespec.typepad.com/specthread/2009/12/palin-power.html ">there</a> too! (To be fair, this is no different than the Joy Behar supporters on The View's site last week .. (blush!) <br /><br />But .. whatever! (wink!)<br /><br />One such Palinbot is Bobby, who obviously has spent some time reading Sarah's book and Sarah's website and Sarah's bio for the McCain campaign! <br /><br />I (of course) had to respond to 'Bobby' <br /><br /><blockquote>Archivist says:<br /><strong>Bobby: <br />You said</strong>: <em><blockquote>Being civil, polite and tolerant to the President in Waiting when she visits Canada will do more for our reputation than the antics of intolerance that we see displayed on this page.</em> </blockquote><br /><br /><strong>What are you smoking? The President in Waiting? She is no such thing. That is just ridiculous. <br /><br />As for being 'civil' ... her statements regarding Canada and its HC system are hardly civil, and certainly they are innacurate. She has called for the system to be 'privatized', said the Canadian system is 'socialism' and that the Goverment has 'absorbed' the system which is so ridiculous, it's hard to know where to start, other than to say that the Canadian Govt has not 'absorbed' anything.. In her ignorance, Sarah seems to think that those 'poor Canadians need to stop the Governement from taking over the HC system bit by bit' ... another example of Sarah's total lack of understanding of the Canadian HC model. <br /><br />BUT even if this were true, Sarah Palin's 'version' of what Canadians should or should not do, is based on her well known ignorance of issues as well as her habit of spouting off her nonsense in forums where she can't be 'challenged' or 'questionned' ... Hit and Run/Hide is her MO ... <br /><br />I laugh at people who describe her as 'tough' and 'not afraid to tell it like it is' .. ANYONE can do that, if they do it from behind a security blanket where there is no danger of being held to support her statements. Fact is, she is a coward and a liar, which is well documented now in the many many MANY rebuttals to the fantasies and 'complete fabrications' in her book. <br /><br />I do agree with the previous poster who said that inviting and paying Sarah Palin to speak in Canada is an insult to the many hard working Canadians who give of their hard earned money and time in volunteering for the Canadian Cancer Society --- to pay this woman an outrageous sum of money to spout off her uninformed nonsense IS an insult to the thousands who work tirelessly for something they care about and believe in ... as opposed to Sarah who is 'available if the price is right, to support just about anything she is paid to support'. Integrity and 'values' indeed. <br /><br />Bobby: I suggest that you inform yourself before stick up for this woman; you obviously don't know very much about her other than what you have read in places where only her 'supporters' are allowed to talk .. those sites, including her OFFICIAL site on FB are heavily censored, so that only adulation is permitted or ... misinformed lies/conspiracies and outright calls to violence against President Obama are tolerated. <br /><br />Many documented instances of this are in my blog, BTW, which is all about the Palinbots. <br /><br />I hope the organizers of this event have a Morality Clause in this contract; Sarah's facade may very well be shattered by the time April comes along.</strong> <br /><br />george wannan says: <blockquote>The rabid slurring of Sarah Palin is quite encouraging, it means they still fear the light of day and common sense and decency! </blockquote><br /><br /><strong>george, you must be an American Palinbot, this is precisely the type of statement they seem to think proves their position about Sarah.. yet they don't seem to think that their 'rabid slurring' and constant lies about President Obama gives the same message! I know Sarah supporters are not known for their 'thinking skills' but .... this would seem like 'common sense' to me! <br /><br />BTW: nobody needs to LIE about Sarah Palin to 'slur' her, she gives people more than enough material whenever she opens her mouth to release yet another shockingly uninformed statement. <br /><br />Remember the most famous skit on SNL by Tina Fey? Word for word Palinspeak nonsense.</strong> </blockquote>Archivisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06829798584006374181noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349535618367366554.post-33660197894136567922009-12-10T20:45:00.000-08:002009-12-10T21:19:37.871-08:00Sit down, and Get a Barf Bag before you read this: it's so bad, on so many levels.****************************************<br /><br /><blockquote>Kenneth Pearce <em>LADY IN THE LEAVES<br /><br />As I meandered through my day<br />A nascent whirlwind came to play <br />In an oak-grove along the way.<br /><br />It picked up the dry leaves it found<br />And whirled them around and around<br />Until the wind's shape wore a leafen gown.<br /><br />The shape it revealed was a human, <br />And then refined, it became a woman<br />Tailored of air-thin and lea...ves-oaken.<br /><br />At once her essence came a-sailin'<br />With her leaf-clothed arms a-hailin',<br />Her mind spoke to mine a-sayin,'<br /><br />"I am the spirit called Sarah Palin."</blockquote></em><br /><br /><br />A Palinbot says: "I absolutely love it, did you write that?" <br /><br />The Author (ahem!) replies: <br /><br /><blockquote><em>I wrote it last summer just after she resigned and I was on the cusp of dismissing her.

I say apparently, because I just don't have the heart to read it. I read her last one, about energy, where she spouted off like a hung over High School Junior and that was enough for me. <br /><br />Really. What could 'who needs fruit flies?'* Sarah possibly have to contribute to the discussion about Climate Change?? It's not as if she wrote the thing anyway. She doesn't have time to 'write' right now, with the book tour. <br /><br />Lucky for Sarah though, her Palinbots don't know Science Research from a Lotto Ticket, so they are thirsty for her wisdom, eager little sponges soaking up her half-baked 'thoughts'. <br /><br />I am so sick of this woman. <br /><br /><br /><em>*Sarah once made fun of fruit fly research, ignorant of the fact that fruit flies area an important tool in genetic research. You'd think that the mother of a DS child would be interested, informed and supportive of genetic research, but ... I guess Sarah doesn't remember much about High School Science class.</em>Archivisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06829798584006374181noreply@blogger.com3
