Al is the best for this advice. He definitely knows how to be taken seriously, e.g. starting trouble and total chaos by fabricating or exaggerating the truth (sometimes).

This bag of garbage belongs in prison, take it from a New Yorker who has seen his every move….garbage.

Well, she won’t listen to conservative political consultants or wonks and pundits of all ideological stripes.

Maybe she’ll listen to a left-wing race-baiting opportunist.

Perhaps she’ll respect advice from a fellow showboat…

“Al Sharpton Advises Sarah Palin How To Be Taken Seriously: ‘Expand Into Policy’”

NOW THAT HURTS!
As a fan of Sarah,,
THAT F’in HURTS,, LOL,,
Getting FREE advice from AL!
LMAO

oh yeah. like he should be giving advice to anybody on anything…..

“Heilemann suggested that it wasn’t pleasant to watch many in the Republican establishment pile on Palin and criticize her now, when many are “pompous morons themselves.”

HA, it isn’t pleasant too watch? All he needs to do is look across the table to see pompous morons criticizing Palin.

Al Sharpton advising anybody on anything – except, of course how to get rich by being a poverty pimp – is like the President advising anybody on bowling and be tactful about it.

‘
Sarah needs to ignore all this $hit and go play golf,,
say she’s workin’ on her Final Four picks,,
and release ‘em when she’s damn good and ready!

“Although Sharpton pointed out that one difference between them was that he had to raise grievances because he was always an outsider,”

Oh, that’s right, Al, YOU coined ‘divide and conqueror’…

I’m sure it was such a hard-sell to convince “insider” politicians and operatives that making factions rather than communities can be an effective political strategy…

Earth to Sharpton! Earth to Sharpton! Can you hear us? Sarah Palin has many policy positions. Repeat, Palin has many policy positions….. Earth to Sharpton!

The reason you don’t know about them is that the media has never covered any of them. They’ve been too busy trying to link her to murders in Arizona, and other smear campaigns. They are afraid of telling people Palin’s perspectives on government spending, individual freedom and fiscal responsibility because they know most people agree with Palin on these matters. So you will never hear coverage of what she says on these matters in the mainstream press.

Any moron can take a position…it takes a real leader to have a PLAN.

“Returning to time tested truths” and “Drill in Alaska” and “less government” do not amount to a plan.

They are soundbites.

Like “change we can believe in”?

Although I think Al Sharpton is a bit of a race baiter. I have to admit that he did pivot from being an African American activist who wore sweat suits and giant gold medallions and appeared on Morton Downey all the time, into someone who many people now take seriously (I still don’t). Palin has no clue how to make that pivot, and he is so right, the only thing that can save Sarah at this point from being laughed off the public stage, is for her to study policy and get educated, then give a series of serious policy speeches.

If she did that she would shoot right to the top of the 2012 Republican Presidental field. She totally would, people still as polarized as they are about her, would probably warm up to her if she showed she actually understood basics about policy. Fortunately she will never do that, because all the things I have read about her, they all say that she never listens to advice and gets rid of people who aren’t “yes men”. She will never be the nominee and I fully expect her to disappear from the public stage entirely soon.

The “Blood Libel” comments and the tone of that whole Gabrielle Giffords speech was her undoing, but as weird as it is she can still recover from it, but she will never do the things she needs to do in order to recover.

No she doesn’t she has soundbytes. She has never given a serious policy speech at least since the 2008 campaign, but those were McCain policy speeches. I follow Sarah more than most people and always watch or read her speeches. She does not give policy speeches, trust me. She talks in generalities about what we should be doing to get our country back on track, And she is really good at trashing things other people do. But as far a specific policy addresses she doesn’t give them.

Watch any interview with Sarah Palin….the second you press her off of her talking points she gets pissy.

She does not have the intelligence to debate policy. This was clearly demonstrated on the Hannity softball interview after the Giffords’ shooting. Hannity threw her a bone about the crosshairs/cause of the shooting issue. She immediately started regurgitating her rehearsed talking points, lost her train of thought and started rambling on about the deficit. You betcha. People think she has the brains to occupy the White House? She will get killed and boy do I mean killed in a debate because she can not handle a follow up question.

I love watching Bill O Reilly interview Sarah Palin.

She gets so indignant because OReilly wont let her just repeat
“Time tested truths,” “less government” and “Drill baby drill” over and over.

I understand I get “thumbs downs” just because of how awesomely popular I am on this site. But I don’t see how any Sarah Palin supporter can argue with what I said, you have to know at some point she is going to have to really get specific about policy, and she just doesn’t seem to be able to do that. How can you argue with the fact that she comes off as a complete idiot. If she got a good team around her of foreign and domestic policy wonks and gave a series of speeches on policy, and appeared that she was giving a speech because she cared about the future of our country and not about getting a fat speaking fee, she would get the nomination in a landslide. The Republican field has no one right now aside from Sarah who people want to get excited about and pay attention to. Name one damn thing Tim Palenty has done? You can’t.

I know she doesnt, but as weird as it sounds she can learn that stuff (I even think she still can). If she got with some smart and well respected people on the Right who knew policy she could still turn this ship around. Our country loves stupid people who overcome the odds. She could be a hero, dumb woman learns stuff then becomes president. It is such a movie, which is what we want.

Hey, it looks like Palin found an area of policy to focus on! Whoda thunk that Sarah Palin would go on an energy policy kick?

Right. That’s how she lands keynote gigs like this one. By being a complete idiot. Like you.

In the event’s inaugural year, Al Gore spoke, and the next year Bill Clinton appeared. Since then, special guests have included Nelson Mandela, the Dalai Lama, Colin Powell, Pakistan President Gen.

Why does she need to act like a stateswoman? Maybe you missed it but she’s retired from politics and isn’t running for anything. She gets to go on Fox and and give opinons. Whoop-d-do.

I am not an idiot because when I travel to speak in India no one writes an article saying “WTF is Color Me Badd doing giving a speech in India”.

I rattled off a couple of ways that Palin could become relevant, of course she will never take anyone’s advice and at this point is one more idiotic remark away from being completely discredited. With her it is only a matter of time.

She was the VP nominee in 2008 of course she is going to be invited to speak. Honestly I am surprised we don’t see more people asking her to give big speeches. Actually I am not really she is a dolt, but any VP nominee no matter who it is, can spend the rest of their days giving speeches and probably retire on that income alone.

Palin only gives speeches to true believers and on the rare occasions she actually makes a speech to an objective crowd it is all over the news of course, cause she usually gives speeches to her idiot supporters.

Al Sharpton is a frequent guest on Morning Joe…and is asked to comment on many different topics.

So, it’s not like he went on TV just to give advice to Sarah Palin.

Sites like Mediaite do this to politicians on both sides of the aisle. They take one soundbite and present it as though that was the entire point of what they were saying. (And yes, they do it to Sarah Palin too).

The book talks about how his father left him when he was 2…to go study in America.

It talks about how he didn’t see his dad until one time many years later…after which, his father died in a car accident. The book deals with how he has to learn about his father from the stories of relatives.

It’s not a book about “My dad was really awesome…I wish I could be a Kenyan Muslim Anti-colonialist just like him!”

Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance is a memoir by United States President Barack Obama.

Why would anyone want to ask Rev.Racebater for his advice? At what point does one ask themselves, gee I’d like to get a really racist view on some particular subject? Unless, of course, your trying to expose race-bating for what it is.

If I wanted to learn how to dupe the public, I would certainly consult Sharpton–he is the shyster of the ages.

Sharpton is advising Sarah Palin to “expand into policy”.  Sharpton’s policy is to intentionally file false sexual assault charges against completely innocent white men for the purpose of destroying lives and inciting race wars.  Is that the policy he’s referring to?

to be honest…….I can’t think of a president on my life time that I would consider smarter than many of the engineers I work with. Poly Sci isn’t exactly Materials Sci. Or electronics engineering. Or particle physics.

Intenet doppleganger.

I need a “we are not worthy” smilie.

That was genius.

A world view Barrak Obama seems to hold as well.

Here’s a plan for reducing deficits….are your listening?…are you ready?….will you write this down?….

STOP SPENDING!!!!!!

Hard to grok, isn’t it, lefty?

Haha. When was the last time a Republican president balanced the budget??

Your party hasn’t balanced a budget in ages (except in states where it’s constitutionally mandated).

Spending is no different than giving huge tax cuts…..the country can’t afford EITHER ONE.

That’s false. Every time in the past that tax cuts were employed, the money flowing into the treasury increased significantly due to the resulting increased economic activity. The problem was from Democrats always finding a way to increase the spending to levels higher than the increased revenues, producing the unavoidable increased deficits.

Tax cuts……………always a benefit to America. Spending increase……………………always to our detriment.

Just because tax revenue increases doesn’t mean we have a balanced budget. There has never been an example of a tax cut turning a deficit into a surplus.

BUT, we have plenty of examples to the contrary (see both Reagan and Bush Tax cuts).

Alternatively, Bill Clinton RAISED TAXES and the budget was balanced….and the economy didn’t tank either (despite the dire warnings from Republicans).

It’s been shown that both tax cuts AND government spending have a stimulative effect on the economy.

A targeted temporary increase in government spending, however, is more a more direct way to stimulate the economy because it is a more controlled way to put money into the economy (i.e.- the government hires more people, those people have jobs and can spend money).

A tax cut, on the other hand, DOES stimulate the economy, but in a less direct way. Some people will go out and spend their extra money (which boosts the economy)…but others will save it, (which, while good, doesn’t generate as much economic activity).

Personally, I favor a balanced budget amendment.

The government should only be allowed to run a deficit in cases of extreme economic or military emergency…in which case, Congress should have to approve waiving the amendment with at least a 3/5 majority.

Check out the facts. Under Republican leadership, Congress has run a surplus. The entire Federal debt can be traced back to Democrat-controlled Congresses.

Here, educate yourself with some facts:
