Megyn Kelly Asks Guests: Should Sarah Palin Actually ‘Butt Out’ Of Primaries?

video
» 29 comments

Is the Sarah Palin backlash beginning? Unlikely, but this remark from Rep. Jack Kingston on “America’s Morning News” radio show this morning is further evidence that the GOP is far from united behind the former Gov. of Alaska. Kingston told the hosts that he wished Palin would “butt out of primary races” because “what she is doing is dividing the Republican party at a time when we don’t need to be divided.”

Of course, one might argue it’s that very division that Palin has used to her best advantage. Or that she has done a good job creating the perception she has this influence by picking strong candidates. Either way, she’s getting credit for both. Meanwhile, Kingston also wondered why Palin “felt compelled to get into primaries all over the country” though I think the answer to that is obvious: where else could she wield her Facebook power? Kingston’s remarks come on the heels of Tuesday’s primary in which the Georgia candidate Palin backed lost (that said her batting average was pretty impressive).

Fox News contributor Angela McGlowan, who recently lost a congressional race in Mississippi even though she had Palin’s endorsement, tells Megyn Kelly, Sarah is not the problem. Moreover if Palin had endorsed her earlier McGlowan believes she could have won. No mention is made, by the way, that on top of being a primary force Palin is also a Fox News contributor.

    Hey if Bubba Clinton can feel free to endorse primary candidates, why the hell can’t she?

  • murf

    The only one who it would be wise to ” butt ” out is Barry. The dems don’t want him anywhere near their campaigns.

  • Jackie63

    And no mention is made, by the way, in your article, that you have your head stuck up Obama’s ass.

  • Bootleghaircut

    Yeah I think Dipshit McFacebook should keep her insipid infantile opinions to herself for the good of the country. If her royal higness was running things we’d all be dead by now-thank the maker she isn’t and never will.

    But hey if Republicans think the endorsement of a half term quitter who can’t even keep her daughter from sleeping around with brain dead hillbillys will win them elections then by all means please make Gal Sharpton your golden calf and continue to worship her as your new lord and savior.

  • Jackie63

    Anyone over the age of 8 who says things like “Dipshit McFacebook” has no busines calling anyone else ‘infantile.’
    Seriously.

    Kingston also wondered why Palin “felt compelled to get into primaries all over the country”

    Did Mr. Kingston ask Romney, Pawlenty, Huckabee, and Gingrich the same question? Far be it from a fascist like me to call anyone a sexist pig. But I’m just saying.

    She can. She does. And Democrats are praying to Jehovah, Allah, Buddha, and any other supreme being of their choice that she keeps it up.

    I CAN NOT believe that Megyn Kelly, who so AWESOMELY makes her Right-Thinking known with her facial expressions and choices of words, would so BRAZENLY attack Saint Sarah!!!1 WHY DOES SHE HATE TRIG?!?!!11 Sarah shouldn’t just be INVOLVED in the primaries, she should be RUNNING in at least THREE of them!!!1 She is THAT GOOD!!!1 She is making the Republican Party proud again with her Intelligence, Maturity, and Wit!!!1 Just like the TEA PARTY PATRIOTS!!!1

    And yes, once again Incredibly Famous Media Personality Gordon Bloyer is RIGHT!!!1 DON’T pay attention to this story!!!1 DON’T let the haters win!!!1 Instead, watch the Gordon Bloyer Show … although I can’t seem to figure out WHERE or WHEN or even IF it airs!!!!111

    Sarah , stay out of it , like King Obama did with Sestak and Romanoff .

    I can’t beleive Im saying this, but Gordon Bloyers and I agree on this. Who the fuck cares. Palin say’s this, Palin say’s that. I could’nt give a flying fuck about Palin backing who ever. You guys in the Media keep blowing shit up with rumors and stories. It must be August. Hot and Tired Bullshit.

  • JoeRemi

    I heard this Angela person on XM while driving. “Race-bait blame-game RINO” were the only words I could decipher above the screeching. And something about how she would have won if Our Sarah had been there sooner. Um..no.

    And Megyn had to be told more than once by the Democrat that he thought Palin’s influence would be bad for Republicans in the general. Kelly was fixated on Palin’s success in GOP primaries. Helps if you listen to the actual point the guest is trying to make..

  • AngelPeters

    Sarah Palin can endorse anyone she wants, just like any of us. Also agree with GordonBloyers and CMDRGMH. It’s a non-story.

  • JoeRemi

    -Sarah Palin can endorse anyone she wants-

    Good to hear. Last I checked, nobody was asking her to relinquish her right to free speech.

    Says one from the “professional left.”

    LMAO

    “…radio show this morning is further evidence that the GOP is far from united behind the former Gov. of Alaska.”

    Glynnis has just showed us how she can write a complete article with a “trend of 1″ ????????????????

    Now when 1 bad thing is said about Sarah it becomes a “Evidence” ???? Unbelievable!

  • SpineCrusher

    You republicans better watch them Tea Partiers…you’re like a dog chasing a car, what happens when you actually catch the car? What are you going to do when they send you out to pasture?

  • philipjames

    what the hell is this… is Megyn Kelly angling to try to get Sarah Palin on her show ito reply to this crap and raise her ratings? who the hell cares about this Kingston Republican Party butt kisser extraordinaire?

    What did Kingston have to say about Deal having six ethics violations filed against him and the fact that he quickly quit so he would not be punished. Typical butt kissing in the Republican Establishment.
    What did Kingston have to say about that? What? Kelly didn’t ask about that?

  • ard65

    Aabsolutely NOT! Everytime the libs have something to say and cons reply, the libs always say, it’s irrelevent, so shut up.

    The candidate Jack Kingston liked–Nathan(Dirty)Deal–was far to the right of Sarah Palin’s endorsee on abortion, immigration, & gay rights; but old Jack is suddenly a hero to “progressives” when he bashes Sarah. Also, Huckabee, Gingrich, & Romney endorsed candidates in GA, and Jack the jerk didn’t complain.

  • sgarcia

    There is a rumor that the Tea Party and the Professional Left will be forming an alliance and well… just complain. Sara Palin, please run for POTUS. Please.

    All I keep hearing is Sarah Palin,; For the womens’ movement, she would probably be better than Hillary; however, being President is a man’s job, I’m sorry, I really like Chris Christie, he’s doing a great job in New Jersey & if he can keep up the momentum & can do what Reagan did in California for his State, maybe Christie might be a consideration, if he so desires, so far I cannot see any good candidates YET for the Republicans! It’s still early, but first we have to work on getting the dems. out of congress. If I see Nancy Pelosi once more with that starched face, I’LL SCREAM…”.The party’s over, it’s time to call it a day, you broke your pretty balloon..(wish I had some music notes on this keyboard) but you know the rest, (Peggy Lee) that’s if you know who she is..you young ones! Let’s hope we get a good one next time around, this country can’t take much more abuse, whenever I watch the news there’s something else to worry about. God Bless America!
