Sarah Palin Challenges GOP Establishment: “We’re Here, We’re Clear, Get Used To It!”

video
» 178 comments

Potential presidential candidate Sarah Palin has been eclipsed lately by certain other quizzically-coiffed Republican hopefuls, but she returned to the spotlight today at a Tea Party rally in Wisconsin with more fire and brimstone than the Fox News commentator had given her followers in quite a while. While Palin had a few words for the President and his “solar shingles,” today was all about proving that she didn’t fear the GOP establishment and would accept no compromises.

“These are the frontlines in the battle for the future of our country!” Palin proclaimed, before describing herself as anything but a presidential candidate: “a patriot, as a taxpayer, as a former union member and as the wife of a union member.” She thanked the “good folks” for standing their ground and reminded them to keep the aims of community justice in sight: “real solidarity is coming together for the common good.” She defined courage to them– both in themselves and their public leaders, and even employed some Jesse Jackson-esque rhetorical flair in refudiating “the obstruction and the destruction” of the Wisconsin union “rent-a-mobs.”

She then went after the Republicans, with whom she was not-at-all pleased. “Yeah, I’ll take on the Republican establishment,” she admitted as the crowd roared. “What more can they say about us?” She went through an exhaustive explanation of how Congressional compromise works, highlighting how the number of federal funds to spend dwindled as the compromise occurred over time, thanks to “politics as usual and accounting gimmicks.” She derisively challenged Republicans to “fight like a girl” and suggested they learn how to legislate from a local hockey team. “America will win!” she shouted, followed by the mantra, “We’re here, we’re clear, get used to it!”

But not to worry, Palin left plenty for Obama, too, who she thanked for causing “the working men and women to come off their sofas” and protest. She contrasted herself subtly to President Obama, pleading for the government to be “wise and prudent” and claiming “the only future Obama is trying to win is his own reelection.” She also went for some easy “winning the future” jokes and made fun of the President’s plans to invest in “solar shingles” and “really fast trains” (someone hasn’t read Atlas Shrugged!).

But this speech wasn’t about her. It was about the crowd braving the not-too-pleasant-seeming Wisconsin weather to listen to this for a good fifteen minutes, who were duly rewarded with the titles of “patriots” and “heroes,” and were all too grateful for it.

    I loved the line when she praised the Wisconsin Badgers women’s team,, then said the GOP should maybe learn to “fight like a girl”. Then, she said, speaking of President Obama….

    Heh.

    She lit it up today.

  • http://www.perceptionasreality.blogspot.com/ skoorbekim

    It was one of her better speeches…
    The union shouters made it that much better…

  • Davo

    It’s good to hear a Conservative who isn’t wetting their pants like Boehner and the “usual suspects.” Sucking one’s thumb needs to be the exclusive hobby of Liberals when confronted with truth and logic that Palin represents.

    Maybe it’s time for America’s first woman President. Palin would do such a great job that the anti-Americans would be tempted to move to some other country to attempt their Communist experiments. With Palin, Allen West, Raul Ryan, Rand Paul, Chris Christy, Marco Rubio, and all the up-coming Conservatives with real American values, surely America’s life can be spared from the execution attempted by Democrats.

    so Queen Moron never disappoints us. What a dumb stupid idiot. If she thinks she and the tea partiers can do it without the establishment she is totally off her rocker. She has become so arrogant and so obnoxious lately it is even more difficult to listen to her. She’s thrown just about everyone on the Republican side under the bus and I wonder who she thinks will support her. I love the way she hurriedly made a trip to Israel- because she loves them so much – then the poster for her announcement for speaking at an event Jews for Palin reminds the people she is just back from a trip to Israel. Anyone want to guess why she really went to Israel – she has got to be one of the most deceitful people around. Oh and by the way sarie, I doubt that a lot of those “girls” you talked about don’t have to choose the right gun and take 4 shots to take down a caribou. You are truly the biggest phony, fake around.

  • TeaPartyPatriot

    Sarah Palin, who has received nothing but hysterical, foaming-at-the-mouth, vicious, mean-spirited, false, mis-leading and totally biased slime attacks from Ruling Class Repugs, the lunatic-left and their “Corrupt B-tard” puppets in the lamestream media, is now indisputably the MOST POWERFUL, MOST INFLUENTIAL, MOST EFFECTIVE woman politician in America today (special thanks to the Trifecta of Scum, aka the official “You Lie!” hussein cheerleading squad, nbc, snl and tina fey. And ,of course, couric deserves a special place in hell for her unrestrained bias against Palin and all that is American.). So, to the lunatic-left d-crat socialists and especially their stooges in the lamestream media, I say: keep it up until President Palin – and the overwhelming majority of the American people – have the last laugh at you.

    Because of her massive influence, Palin has literally change the language Americans use. Examples of her power over our language include:

    “How’s that [substitute ANY idiotic lunatic-left atrocity here] working out for you?”
    “refudiate”
    “hopey-changey”
    “lamestream”
    “Corrupt B-tards (of the lunatic-left media)”
    “blood libel”
    …..more to come !

  • idesign

    This was a Pro America Tea Party rally. Unlike Obama, Palin chose to stick to the issue at hand. America must survive and for America to survive, we must defeat Obama.

    Obama’s deficit speech was political hackery, an endorsement and testament to the welfare state and to his base of welfare recipients.

    I thought she was awesome!!!

    Ever notice how all of the GOP try and blame all their problems on the “lamestream media”? They’re like an angsty teenager who blame all of their problems on their parents. Even the woman who passed along “Obama and his parents are monkeys” photo is faulting the media for it!

    Here’s a bit of a dose of reality, the media is ran by Neo Cons, NBC “the Bastian of liberalism” executives gave 2-1 to the GOP in the midterm elections.

    I dunno, she sure sounds like a queen.

    Her slogan was ripped straight from the Gay movement.

    “We’re Here, We’re Clear, Get Used To It!”

    “We’re Here, We’re Queer, Get Used To It!”

    Her slogan is actually terrible. Clear? WTF? Shouldn’t she say “sincere”?

    even if she gave a speech as great as…haha..hold on a sec…haha, of, as great as the ” there is not a liberal America and a conservative America — there is the United States of America. There is not a Black America and a White America and Latino America and Asian America — there’s the United States of America.

    Funny how the “left” — and that must mean everybody but Palin’s drooling cult followers who make up her shrinking approval base — goes apoplectic by a shrill, ignorant, meanspirited, thin-skinned, fraudulent harpy who continues to divide the country into “us” vs. “them” and has the Dunning-Kruger arrogance to presume she’s qualified to be the leader of the free world. We’re sooo unreasonable, aren’t we?

  • http://twitter.com/SailRabbits Magister

    1) The call out to the Republican establishment was reminiscent of what she told a CNN producer back in October about how the GOP would “be through”, if they don’t embrace the Tea Party message.

    2) Eddie and Alex Van Halen have complained in the past about the use of “Right Now” in conjunction with Palin rallies, though Sammy Hagar apparently doesn’t care which party uses the song.

    3) Of course she’s using them to make a political joke, but I actually considered installing solar shingles on my last house and I’m intrigued by the promise of solar paint.

    Actually were still trying to figure out why you keep questioning the Tea Party , considering you are the same person who predicted a landslide in favor of the D’s in the last elections ( midterms) , some would say it’s denial , others would say it’s stupidity. Either way , it’s hilarious.

    Not even close to a teenager. If you look at my original post I stated she makes 100k for her speaking engagements. You are the one that stated she did the WI one for free. I applied simple logic to assume she was paid for this, as she has for all of her other appearances. I contend that the burden of proof is yours to show that she was not paid.

    Shilling? I think she is laughing all right. She is laughing at those who tried to smear her and shut her up. I didn’t like her at first but bought her first book just because she stood up to all of you. Boring! But I don’t care, I wanted to help her stay in your face and she hasn’t let me down yet. I would like to see her get double the speaking fees. Go Palin! President? I am like Coulter, she is more valuable to us doing just what she is doing. Would I vote for her. Doubtful in the primary but if she is the candidate then yes. Just about anyone is better than Obama. Palin is a lot better.

    Almost every politician at the national level uses a teleprompter. To deny that is to deny reality, which conservatives are actually very good at. Saint Ronnie Reagan used a teleprompter, and so does Palin. Or, did you not see her “blood libel” speech about how the Arizona shooting tragedy was all about her?

  • Ajolily

    True, most if not all politicians use teleprompters at staged speeches but not when they visit a children’s classroom and most of them can make a speech without it if they need to. Obama? Every time he tries he puts his foot in it.

    Different line of conversation. OxyCon responding to dumb as rocks. Seems valid response to me when dumb as rocks wants to pick on Palins voice as if that matters. Obama doesn’t know how many states we have and needs a teleprompter and all you guys have is how much money Palin makes per speech and how you don’t like her voice. Is Palins voice all you have for a trump card?

  • Ajolily

    Palin gave a good speech with valid points and I enjoyed it. Anti- protesters made it even more fun. Laughed at them because we know via the recent political win in the WI judicial courts shows more clearly what WI thinks. Don’t care if her voice is unique, I enjoy it as a breath of fresh air. Tired of RINO big city types who think anyone who doesn‘t live in a big city, blue state is a hick. Hope she did get a speakers fee. It all makes you liberals see red and I enjoy that too. All in all a good day, and with that I bid you good night.

    No, you’re wrong, there isn’t one single politician in American history who leans on teleprompters as crutches the way Obama does. To deny that is to live in a fantasy world where reality is whatever you think it is.

    You are clearly a delusional individual.

    Some politicians, such as George W. Bush, use note cards to give speeches. Other politicians, such as Obama and Reagan, use teleprompters. Palin uses her hand and teleprompters.

    You are obsessed with Obama being “different.” He is not in his use of teleprompters.

    Obama’s just like Reagan, in that a person has to be a good public speaker to read a speech off of teleprompters. It is a lot more difficult than it looks. But don’t take my word for it, try it yourself sometime.

    Interesting strawman argument, since the point wasn’t that Palin has no effect on me or her other critics. The point was — and I’ll restate it in plainer English –that she earns the “apoplexy” from her critics. She shouldn’t be close enough to the White House to take a tour, let alone occupy it.

    Ann Althouse was there filming, blogging and reporting on both Tea Party speakers and the behavior of the opposition, in one of the threads she describes the protesters shouting down, ringing cow bells and screaming “go home” as a 14-year-old girl speaks at the podium:

    A 14-year-old girl speaks at the Tea Party rally in Madison and is drowned out by chants, boos, and cowbells.

    This video — shot by Meade and edited by me — begins with a little boy banging on a plastic bucket “drum.” A man with a guitar is performing — amplified — on the stage, but we can barely hear him over the crowd noise. There is incessant ringing of cowbells. Then, we can hear that a young woman is speaking from the stage to the Tea Party crowd as the protesters do what they can to drown her out. She finishes — “God bless America” — and the tea partiers cheer but the protesters overwhelm them with boos. The emcee comes to the mike and we hear that the speaker was only 14 years old.

    I got your point, and it’s mystery why you think the majority of Americans’ reaction to someone so divisive is a reflection on them instead of the person inciting that reaction. Most of us would also get apopletic when we see someone kicking a dog, or robbing an old lady. The level of reaction reflects the level of threat. I’ve never been one of those who dismisses Sarah Palin. I think she’s a huge threat, not because she’ll ever be elected, but because of her corrosive influence on the public. Her world view is us vs. them. She stokes resentments and grievance. Having standards is something for “elites.” Being educated is snobbish. Being reckless, stupid and wrong are virtues. She panders to our worst impulses and incites anger and resentment. That’s not a leader, that’s a demagogue. And as we have learned from history, demagogues are dangerous.

    Since you question her commitment to Israel, I guess you know that she has had a the Israeli flag posted in her office ever since she was Mayor of Wasilla and has always declared American’s support of Israel in her speeches when appropriate.
    When her father fell and dropped his gun on the slopes, the site was knocked off center as you later saw if you watched the whole show.  And if you saw her shooting skeet, you also saw she had no problem handling a gun!  As for the TEA party…did you miss the 2010 elections entirely?  I’d say they have historical influence and I believe we will see that increase in 2012.  So I don’t think she is going to have a problem with support.  Instead of calling her names and insulting her, why not come up with some facts to explain why YOU do not support such and upstanding honest politician.  I bet you were one of those pouring through her emails for the MSM in hopes of finding some scrap to gloat over!
