She’s fighting for America so that we can have the constitution protected so that we can have free speech. How? To elect candidates that understand the constitution, to protect our military interests so that we can keep on fightin’ for our constitution, those protections, those freedoms that, evidently, are important to you.
What don’t you get?

Imagine the following and you pretty much have her side of the conversation:
Mumble mumble freedom of speech mumble mumble constitution mumble constitution mumble troops mumble constitution mumble fighting for our freedoms mumble constitution.
You forgot “it is time to take our country back from the spend crazy liberals!”

Palin: What do you do here?
Kathleen: I’m a teacher
Palin: Oh. (Eye roll and protracted grimace)
Palin Daughter: Oh
There are not enough ellipses to express how speechless I am over this instance.

After that little run in they tore down the sign.
Details of before and after that confrontation.
In what has become typical tragic irony, Sarah initially claimed to support Kathleen’s First Amendment Rights. But as soon as Billy Sullivan walked toward the dock, one of Palin’s entourage tore down the sign to great applause from her group.
Todd Palin approached Billy (who owns a business called Dockside Fish and buys halibut on that dock) and asked him to get out of the Discovery crew’s shot. “You just can’t get enough of her, can you?” he asked. An Alaska State Trooper told Billy he should call the Homer Police Department and report the trespassing and destruction of property.
What the Palin folks don’t seem to understand is simple; if Fred Phelps gets to hold his hateful signs up at military funerals, Billy should be able to put Kathleen’s “WORST GOVERNOR EVER” banner on his building and not have a Palin goon tear it down
What I like about that video is that the woman is calling Palin on her bullshit, to her face, in a totally calm and collected way, and Palin just simpers and squeals in response.
I couldn’t really hear Palin in that video, but it didn’t matter. She is so hot.
(Do you think my attempts to objectify her as a sex object are having any effect discrediting her as a political leader? I mean, she is hot and all, but I like to think than when I repeatedly point that out, it has beneficial side effects in the political arena.)

It’s their mannerisms and tone that really convey how god awful condescending Palin’s response is.

The depressing thing about Sarah Palin is that she will be defeated for the wrong reasons. In a rational and honest environment she would be mocked by her opponents and marginalised by those who share her politics. If I were a conservative I would feel embarrassed to have her as the figurehead for my opinions. People on that side of the aisle should be saying ‘this woman makes no sense, has nothing of substance to say and damages the message through her ineptitude and casual attitude towards accuracy’. Instead they are rallying behind her for no other reason that I can see except that their opposition doesn’t like her and the hive must close ranks to repel the threat.
So what will happen is that someone will dig up something that can’t be handwaved away - some actual criminal malfeasance in governance or an unforgivable indiscretion and she will join the rest of the former political elite in exile. Which is a shame because it’s entirely the wrong reason to bury her.
I liked Palin’s look and smirk towards her daughter when the lady said she was a teacher. WTF PALIN?!
Is this where the Populous joke goes?

Really Tom? I can’t look at her without tasting bile in the back of my throat. I can’t stand the sight of her. That you can actually find her hot despite what she is makes me think unkind thoughts about you. :-/
When the music ends Tom wants to blow Sarah’s hospital and ride her kick up the layers.

Looks like Sarah Palin’s the choice. Very smart move by Chick.

She’s not a political leader, she’s a mascot; sexual objectification doesn’t necessarily conflict with that.

Warren, I forgive Tom. The lady is attractive, it’s actually part of the problem. Running for a high political office isn’t a beauty contest, and you can’t throw flippant comments and expect to be taken seriously.
In the words of Miss South Carolina:
“I believe that our education like such as in South Africa,
and the Iraq, everywhere like such as…”

Tom’s trolling for hits. Deus Ex, that could have been a momentary lapse in judgement. This though? Unforgivable.
