Sarah Palin Fires Back On Gaffes



Sarah Palin made a small momentary gaffe on Glenn Beck's radio show during an interview, saying we needed to stand by our North Korean allies. She corrected it at once and it was obvious what she meant, but the Leftish press made a major political headline out of it.

So Sarah Palin, being who she is, decided to take this opportunity to remind them of a few things about double standards:

A Thanksgiving Message to All 57 States

by Sarah Palin on Thursday, November 25, 2010 at 6:46pm

"My fellow Americans in all 57 states, the time has changed for come. With our country founded more than 20 centuries ago, we have much to celebrate – from the FBI’s 100 days to the reforms that bring greater inefficiencies to our health care system. We know that countries like Europe are willing to stand with us in our fight to halt the rise of privacy, and Israel is a strong friend of Israel’s. And let’s face it, everybody knows that it makes no sense that you send a kid to the emergency room for a treatable illness like asthma and they end up taking up a hospital bed. It costs, when, if you, they just gave, you gave them treatment early, and they got some treatment, and ah, a breathalyzer, or an inhalator. I mean, not a breathalyzer, ah, I don’t know what the term is in Austrian for that…

Of course, the paragraph above is based on a series of misstatements and verbal gaffes made by Barack Obama (I didn’t have enough time to do one for Joe Biden). YouTube links are provided just in case you doubt the accuracy of these all too human slips-of-the-tongue. If you can’t remember hearing about them, that’s because for the most part the media didn’t consider them newsworthy. I have no complaint about that. Everybody makes the occasional verbal gaffe – even news anchors.

Obviously, I would have been even more impressed if the media showed some consistency on this issue. Unfortunately, it seems they couldn’t resist the temptation to turn a simple one word slip-of-the-tongue of mine into a major political headline. The one word slip occurred yesterday during one of my seven back-to-back interviews wherein I was privileged to speak to the American public about the important, world-changing issues before us.

If the media had bothered to actually listen to all of my remarks on Glenn Beck’s radio show, they would have noticed that I refer to South Korea as our ally throughout, that I corrected myself seconds after my slip-of-the-tongue, and that I made it abundantly clear that pressure should be put on China to restrict energy exports to the North Korean regime. The media could even have done due diligence and checked my previous statements on the subject, which have always been consistent, and in fact even ahead of the curve. But why let the facts get in the way of a good story? (And for that matter, why not just make up stories out of thin air – like the totally false hard news story which has run for three days now reporting that I lobbied the producers of “Dancing with the Stars” to cast a former Senate candidate on their show. That lie is further clear proof that the media completely makes things up without doing even rudimentary fact-checking.)

“Hope springs eternal” as the poet says. Let’s hope that perhaps, just maybe, they might get it right next time. When we the people are effective in holding America’s free press accountable for responsible and truthful reporting, then we shall all have even more to be thankful for!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
Sarah Palin"


Ah hah hah hah!

On a serious note, the ignorant RINOs who have been engaged in Palin bashing lately need to understand that they are playing a dangerous and self-destructive game. They need to be reminded that the Leftish media will not just go after Sarah Palin, but will cynically use them to bring down any Republican nominee no matter who it is...and that person will not receive anything remotely like fair treatment by the likes of the dinosaur media.

Remember how eagerly the media embraced Senator John McCain as their 'favorite moderate Republican' - until he was running for president?

The collective media fellatio of Obama is by no means over, despite a few momentary lapses and sore knees. It will come back with a vengeance in 2012, and wholesale bashing of Sarah Palin by the GOP will only fuel the fires for how any Republican nominee is going to be treated.

i'm just curious.
did she use a teleprompter?
i also think it is hilarious that she did not refer to hussein or biden by their titles. hussein would have been his illegal title.

I would think mis statements by the Presient or Vice President should make the news headlines. Statements by an insignificant news pundit such as Mrs. Palin are not really news worthy. By focusing obsessively on what she says this is yet another illustration on why the United States is not a serious country. The main stream news media is definitely not something we should be taking seriously. I've said it before.

I'll say it again. The Attention Mrs. Palin receives from the news media is comical.

In their rush to attack Mrs. Palin the media seems to have missed some important questions that should have been posed.

1.) How exactly do we plan to "pressue" China? Any dealings with China must account for the facts that America owes a vast sume of money to China and the American military is no match for the Chinese military/

2.)The necessary forces to defend South Korea do not exist on our side. Where do you plan to get them? Are you going to wave a mgic wand and create them out of thin air?

It would have been nice if Mr. Beck had followed up by asking these questions but then again this requires serious people to ask serious questions. Mr. Beck like Mrs. Palin is simply a news pundit without any real political influence. In effect, I think we have non serious news shows for non serious people.

OT
over at espn.com the slack jaws are just all gaga over theirselves reporting this.
in the story, they claim hussein is a sports fan. they then go on to report on an issue that in no way is presidential and should be left to others to decide. a football playoff system. gee, shrub owned a franchise and i don't recall reporting like this.
