Regarding Sarah: Quotes, Part 9

John Podhoretz:

“How do liberals who think Sarah Palin is a moron and Joe Biden isn't explain how she either tied or bested him in 2008 debate?”

Warner Todd Huston:

“For The New York Times, Steven Ratner had to admit last month that he was pretty darned excited for those Obamacare death panels to get started. ‘We need death panels,’ he said on September 16. This from the same paper that in 2009 attacked Gov. Sarah Palin for her rhetoric and an Old Media establishment that gave Palin a ‘lie of the year’ award for her claim that Obamacare death panels were coming.”

Twitchy Staff:

“Palin-haters on Twitter have always been a particularly vile species of troll, but it seems like they brought a little extra crazy to the party for Columbus Day.”

Kristen Walker Hatten:

“I have a fiancé. He is almost the same age as Louis, but he was raised in the South. Never in a million years would he ever call me – or any woman... a name half as foul as what Louis C.K. called Sarah Palin on the radio. There was a time when virtually no man would do that, and certainly not where any woman could hear it. There was also a time when other men would shun and possibly roundhouse punch any man who said that about a respectable woman and her disabled child. Apparently those times are gone, because dudes on the internet can’t get enough of it. If these are the heroes we’re offering to young men, this generation is doomed.”

Matt Vespa:

“It’s been four years since Barack Obama beat John McCain to become the 44th President of the United States, but that hasn’t stopped some in the media from putting McCain’s running mate, Sarah Palin, in the crosshairs.”

Christian Toto:

“Actress Jennifer Garner says her new film, ‘Butter,’ wasn't intended to send up the Tea Party, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann or former Gov. Sarah Palin. Tell that to the film critics who torched the film for its mean spirited take on all of the above... It's a typical dance performed by stars on the press circuit trying to promote liberal agenda films. They deny the product's intent because they know it may turn off some potential movie goers. They make the films all the same in the hopes of influencing a few voters along the way.”

Melissa Clouthier:

“The hate directed at the Palins is appalling.”

John O’Sullivan:

“Romney’s answer on Obamacare was a model one: crisp, clear, authoritative; the president’s initial statement and reply were not dreadful, just rambling and nervous. And the longer he went on, the less confident (and so persuasive) he was. His attempt to argue away the importance of death panels was the nadir — call it the revenge of Sarah Palin.”

Danny de Gracia:

“The left needs to take a long hard look at the condition of their own hearts before calling out Sarah Palin.”

Jeff Poor:

“Chalian’s hiring follows a long line of Politico employees, past and present, who have had a penchant for viewing those on the political right through a harsh prism... Andy Barr, who had covered 2008 Republican vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin — often with critical headlines like ‘Sarah Palin’s political mystery tour,’ ‘So unfav: Palin’s poll plunge’ and ‘Sarah Palin on Barack Obama speech: WTF’ — left Politico to work with the Democratic Party in Arizona in July 2011.”

Joe Newby:

“Chris Matthews called Sarah Palin a racist for using the term ‘shuck and jive,’ but... it turns out that the perpetually angry MSNBC host used the phrase at least three times... It seems that by his own definition, Chris Matthews is a racist.”

John Sexton:

“It's a testimony to liberal media bias that conventional wisdom still sees the Gibson interview as a triumph for ABC rather than a series of shoddy journalistic gaffes that should have earned someone, probably several someone's, a reprimand. But the folks at Huff Post aren't interested in the facts. They'll continue to glide along on half-remembered versions of Tina Fey skits convinced they were Palin's exact words. Like Charlie Gibson, they got it wrong and they don't care in the least.”

Steven Hayward:

“Jonah Goldberg wonders: When can Sarah Palin expect her letter of apology?”

Charlie Spiering:

“In 2008, Governor Charlie Crist campaigned for Sen. John McCain and his running-mate Sarah Palin... When asked on CNN about Palin’s ability to serve as president, Crist suggested that she was ‘most qualified’ of the four because of her executive experience. ‘I think she’d do a great job,’ Crist said. ‘Realize that she really is the only executive that’s running, the only one that has been the head of a government in Alaska, she’s held an exeutive position as a mayor, an executive position as a governor, made those kinds of decisions.’ ‘Hey I think she’s ready,’ Crist concluded.”

Richard Viguerie:

“In 2008, the things that Sarah Palin brought to the ticket were all things McCain’s Washington establishment staff and consultants weren’t about to make part of the campaign and certainly didn’t want on TV coming from their candidate for Vice President. The result was that Palin’s benefit to the ticket was wasted.”

Kevin DuJan:

“Governor Sarah Palin excoriates ‘former neighbor’ Joe McGinniss as a liar. Again.”

Becky Bohrer/AP:

“A federal judge has formally dismissed an activist's lawsuit against former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin... U.S. District Judge Timothy Burgess struck down claims brought by activist Chip Thoma, who alleged that Palin acted to silence him for complaining about traffic around the governor's mansion in 2009... In a judgment filed Tuesday, Burgess dismissed the case, saying Thoma will recover nothing, and Palin will recover costs from Thoma.”

YouTube:

“Ken Stout had the pleasure of meeting up with Sarah and Todd Palin at the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series event... at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Todd and Sarah talk about their love of racing and America's passion for motorsports.”

Dr. Robert R. Owens:

“McCain spends more time reaching across the aisle to his Progressive comrades then he does trying to do anything even vaguely conservative. The best move he made was to nominate Sarah Palin, and then his team spent all their time trying to put a muzzle on a momma bear intent on going rogue. The most memorable event in his campaign was when he theatrically suspended his campaign to fly to Washington to deal with the financial collapse. Once there he blended into the background and whispered a meek, ‘Me too.’”

Renee Nal:

“Joe Biden was repeatedly mocking Sarah Palin for supporting the so-called ‘Bridge to Nowhere,’ regardless of the fact that she was not even the governor at the time, and even though he himself voted for it...twice.”
