Sarah Palin Defends Gingrich: Establishment Fears Him Because He Leads ‘Rage Against The Machine’

video
» 142 comments

Last night, Herman Cain officially threw his support behind Newt Gingrich. Fox News covered the breaking news, and Sarah Palin was on to not just react to the endorsement, but to explain her Facebook post that Ronald Reagan would be “ashamed” of how Republicans are acting, and to defend Newt Gingrich against the attacks being leveled against him by Mitt Romney and other Republicans.

Judge Jeanine Pirro asked Palin to explain what she meant in her remark about the late Republican president. Palin noted that Reagan was never one to shy away from criticizing other Republicans, but she argued the former president never engaged in “the politics of personal destruction” that she believes has engulfed much of the 2012 campaign. She credited Gingrich with being the first to pledge to take the high road, but because of the “negative, rewritten history” being thrown out there against him, she said it makes sense for Gingrich to hit back. She also called out the Republican establishment for lining up against Gingrich in a concerted effort to keep him from winning the nomination.

However, Palin thought it better for the vetting process to be carried out this early on between the candidates so that by the time the eventual nominee faces President Obama, there will be no “October surprise” to deal with. She also bucked conventional wisdom by suggesting the race will continue on beyond Florida, and said the media should put more focus on Rick Santorum and Ron Paul, the latter of whom she gave some words of praise for.

Despite his many years of service in Washington, Palin argued he was the outsider candidate because of how mobilized the establishment has been against him. She admitted she’d rather have a candidate who will “rage against the machine” as opposed to one who won’t challenge the status quo. “If for no other reason, rage against the machine, vote Newt. Annoy a liberal, vote Newt.”

But what about Gingrich’s ambition to establish a colony on the moon? Palin ardently supported it, connecting his statement to JFK’s call for space exploration decades ago. And as a fiscal conservative, she thought this was a valuable funding opportunity for the United States.

But for all her positive comments about Gingrich (she said towards the end of the interview that Gingrich could “clobber” Obama), Palin did not make an official endorsement in the race. Pirro tried to push her towards one, but Palin just stated she wants the process to continue before she makes any decisions.

    Imagine having to defend the likes of Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich, Joe Miller, Sharron Angle and Christine O’Donnell – to name a few.  I’d call that “palling around with idiots” and that is definitely the path Sarah Palin has chosen.  Doesn’t seem to be working out though.  Too bad.  So sad.

    “Annoy a liberal, vote Newt,” she says.   For a woman who has made a career out of misreading political situations, this is a misreading for the ages.  There is nothing liberals want more than for republican primary voters to vote for Newt.  It’s the conservative hardliners who don’t want people to vote for him.  Leave us liberals out of it.

    That is perfect analysis by Sarah.

    Even for Palin this is pretty loopy. Gingrich has been one of the nastiest campaigners in modern memory. He savages his political opponents with gusto and, as Mitt rightly pointed out, engages in the kind of bitter, over-the-top rhetoric one mostly finds on talk radio.

    Her fans may not be the brightest bulbs, but even they should be able to see how divorced from reality her defense of this douchebag is.

    The establishment fears Newt Gingrich because he’s completely unelectable. Seriously, he manages to be the worst candidate in a bad field and represents everything that’s wrong with the political system. He’s an adulterous hypocrite whose best known for persecuting someone for adultery while cheating on his wife and for leaving his last job in politics in disgrace, he has little support inside and outside of the party and his campaign is reliant on one big donor and can be painted as an attempt to buy the presidency should he become.the nominee.

    On top of that he comes off as mean spirited and flat out nasty, while his talk radio host character has appeal to some in the republican base, there is no way to soften his image to give him wider appeal given his history, he attacks and attacks and while he’s good at that, it’s not enough to make him a viable candidate for President.

    Maybe McCain’s advisors did a better job reigning in the Half-Baked Alaskan than we thought. Sure, was was a lunatic during the campaign, but she has moved into raving lunatic territory now.  I think the vast wasteland than is FOX “Business ‘News’” and the will off prime time slots for her at FOX “News” are about the only places she is going to be able to be safe. There is little chance many people will now see her, a gruesome prospect, to be sure, or listen to her anymore. Thanks to Mediaite for reminding her this particularly brand of lunacy is still out there.

She will deliver Obama the Independents and Conservative Dems who in no way want to be assoociated with her. And they need to get over their cultish Reagan fetish. He was fair to middlin and despised by we on the left. Yet we respected his office. They’re so stuck in the past it’s pathetic.

    So Palin and Cain, two major political posers, have endorsed the Newt. Excellent.

    The longer Gingrich stays in the race, the more dirt he and Romney will dig up about each other, convincing even more moderates and independents that neither is worthy of becoming POTUS.

    And does any of this matter right now. Our commander and chief refused to show up for a subpoena. In Georgia let alone his Social Security number belonged to a dead man in Connecticut. But just not showing up at all shows how much he respect  the Constitution of the USA. Plus the president of the United States committing contempt of court that alone is an impeachable offense. So who would tase candidates run against. All ya Joe Biden I forgot about him. Michelle and Obama will be so sad. Maybe to cheer them up they could go to a flag burning ceremony somewhere. That is if they are not in  jail or if it is forgotten about and he can just walk. Then it won’t matter who you vote for newt Gingrich Ron Paul it just won’t matter acorn will count the votes and Obama will win it’s that simple. The President of the United States of America contempt of court nothing in the paper nothing on the news. We all better wake up real soon and come to gather or We are going to lose this great nation.

    Space exploration is costly. The cost to establish a colony on the moon, (geez almighty) would be astronomical. 
    Newty boy would be better off pulling his head out of where ever he keeps it, & pay more attention to the many members of our colony on earth that’re struggling financially. When he fixes that, along with any other problems, (not a chance) then he can play space cadet.

    Commands from the Ruling Class Republican Establishment (with help from their pals: the d-cRAT socialists and their stooges/puppets in the socialist media):

    There is nothing wrong with your mind. Do not attempt to think for yourself. We are controlling the information provided for the Republican primaries. If we wish to destroy a conservative, we will bring up the volume of attacks. If we wish to support a RINO, we will tune it to a pleasant sound. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image of a conservative, make it flutter. We can change the focus of a conservative to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity for an establishment  RINO. For the remainder of the primary season, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: there is nothing wrong with your mind. You are about to participate in a great adventure – the approval of the RINO that we establishment clowns have selected to win the nomination. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to… ANOTHER RULING-CLASS ESTABLISHMENT CANDIDATE LOSER.

    We, the Ruling-Class Repub Establishment, hereby command you to support our candidate, RINO romney(care), who will, without doubt, also lose in the general election like our other candidates mccain, dole, george h.w. bush, ford….

Getting paid by the hated Freddie Mac and working with the hated Bill Clinton. If it was anyone else, especially a democrat, Newt would be called a crony and UN-american.

    So, you can lay out his 40 years of being an attack dog? That should be a nice trick, since he’s only been in politics a tad over 30 years.

    You haven’t referenced a thing about his negative campaigns (because you can’t), and Palin didn’t say he’s always been sweetness and light.

    We’re not evaluating Gingrich, so much as were evaluating Palin’s statement. And you are dumber than dirt. Palin is right, you are wrong and you are not smarter than a fifth grader.

    Go ahead. Back this up with some examples:

    Even for Palin this is pretty loopy. Gingrich has been one of the nastiest campaigners in modern memory. He savages his political opponents with gusto and engages in the kind of bitter, over-the-top rhetoric one generally only finds on talk radio.

    She was going pretty crazy when she was campaigning during 2008 down in Florida.  Don’t you remember when she called the President a terrorist and some people in the audience yelled “kill him” and she didn’t say anything like “no – a civilized society doesn’t do that, or no, that isn’t the way a democracy works”?

    Palin AND Gingrich (plus Romney) are OWNED by the Elite. How else did she get on the ticket of McCain, who is ALSO OWNED?

  • Michael T.

    I hear that a lot. Let’s blame the “liberal media” for the attacks on Gingrich.

    If they only knew how silly they sound. It totally undermines their credibility.

    Someone should comprise a Top 10 List of the most egregious claims by pundits and politicians.

    Some of my favorites include:
    1. Obama is a socialist (or worse).
    2. Obamacare is a government-run health care system.
    3. Obama is a far left liberal.
    4. Obama has raised taxes.
    5. Romneycare is wildly unpopular in Massachusetts.

    Newt is the establishment.  Anyway why do rightwingers think people being afraid of them is a good thing? We were also afraid of Palin and Cain, how did that work out for them?

    just like you could smell the liberal fear right before Palin lost McCain the election and before Hermain Cain dropped out of the republican race…this liberal fear really isn’t working out too well for you guys is it?

    Since Ronald Reagan was on the receiving end of the same torrent of negativity, distortions and lies as Sarah Palin has had to endure, I imagine he would heartily approve of her.

  • Anonymous

    This story is not true.  The Secret Service thoroughly investigated this event and reported that it never happened.  It was invented by a local reporter and reported uncritically by national media.  This is typical of the lies and distortions that have been directed at Palin.

    No, Sarah, people don’t like him because he is an unlikable human being. Palin is going to take decades to realize that the American people voted for Obama and rejected her. She is going to take a long time to realize that the country she pretends to speak for overwhelmigly disapporoves of her. In short, Palin is delusional.

    Before we get started this is not a court proceeding and there are no actual powers that a real judge has involved

    First off the judge in question actually is a non-judicial administrative judge who has to ask an actual sitting judge for anything judicial. This guy is supervised by a real judge and that judge is not going to do anything in this matter.

    Second if the Secretary of State of Ga.were to try and remove President Obama s name from the ballot on the authority of an administrative judge he would be prosecuted as the President has already been qualified to appear on the ballot.

    Third the persons behind this are asking for documentation no one has to provide such as hospital records, the birth certificates of his Father and Mother, leasing agreements or records of home ownership at the time of his birth and other documents such as Baby Obamas pass port at the time of his birth (that one no one will ever have as no one has a passport at birth).

    Fourth the guy who is the primary complainant claims that as soon as Romney is put on the general election ballot he will file a complaint to remove his name until he proves he was not born in Mexico.

    Fifth the movers of this action are all moonbat crazy.

    So the only real thing above is No.5

  • Anonymous

    What contempt of court is involved? And it is an administrative hearing not a proceeding of an actual court, and what cover up he did not appear and everyone knows it.

    Plus this guy has already begun to weasel out of his stupidity for sending in allowing this to get as far as it has, he is required to review the complaint referred to him and make a referral to the judge who is required to supervise and determine if anything the administrative has determined is valid and legal.

    its been days since the non-judicial proceeding and has anything been done? Has any form of law enforcement been authorized to take the President in to custody? Do you really think the President is not a citizen?

    Since the idiot has been talking, Romney has increased his lead on Gingrich by 15 points and the tea party support is evenly split.

    MY objection to Newt is too numerous to list here.
    The repugnantan establishment’s objection is the issue here, and that’s a result of having seen him in action.
    And concluding that he can’t possibly beat Obama.
    Which is their only objective.

  • Anonymous

    The establishment repugnantans ONLY care about winning.
    That’s how they get back in power.
    Which is where they mistakenly believe God wants them.

    As for Gingrinch, what a whiny little bitch he is.
    After he blatantly chokes in both Florida debates, instead of owning his failure, he offers such lame excuses, that he would have been better off just shutting up.
    “I can’t debate someone who lies” Please, that’s the easiest person to debate. Just bring some facts, and you win. Unless you’re a liar, too. Which you are.

    “What right does the media have to silence the people at a debate?”
    Right. You need your own cheering section, or you’re totally lost. And what happens when you can’t pack the room with your people?

    And if Nancy Reagan endorsed you in 95, how come she’s silent about it now?

    And, btw, have you noticed that all these great things that he takes credit for, while he was Speaker, all happened no less than 14 years ago? What have you done for us lately, Newt? And what have you been doing lately?
    Besides giving million dollar history lessons.
    And bitching like a cry-baby.

    “Barry’s got to go.”
    Really?
    Why?

    First and foremost, you aren’t a Republican. 

    You don’t know crap. 

    The “establishment” GOP puts up wealthy Independents, that swing to the right, but aren’t always on the right…And those people do NOT hold the Conservative line. 

    Olympia Snow, John McCain, Bob Dole, Mitt Romney (R)-from a very Liberal state, and now Newt, a Progressive…Another Progressive…

    The best thing I can say about Newt, is he IS the smartest man in the room, he is a historian, he understands Conservatism, and yet, his true, hard core beliefs, are not Conservative. Yeah, most debates, he leaves people standing in quicksand. I didn’t see the last one, and I don’t care.

    The SELECTION process will all be over by the time I get to vote, baby. 

    And, suffice it to say, that the American imposter, graduate of Occidental College under the psuedonym Barry Soetuero-however its spelled-the self indulgent man married to the self indulgent, take a separate plane to Italy with my 40 BFF’s or to Hawaii Michele…just spending our money like its water falling from the sky, well, they need to go.

    “First and foremost, you aren’t a Republican. You don’t know crap. ”

    You mean, I don’t know republicans?
    As in: republicans=crap.

    By setting yourself up for that one, you really revealed a high level of awareness.
    Like, how is anything that you said, in any way responsive to my post, about either repugnantans caring about winning, or about Gingrinch?
    I said, “The establishment repugnantans ONLY care about winning”. That’s why they don’t want a conservative. You go on and on telling me how not every repub is a conservative.
    Like, who cares? Why would they be? It’s not the Conservative party, yet.

    Right now, Newt sounds like a moron, however smart you think he is, with his backwater college degree. A school that doesn’t outrank Occidental, btw, which you choose to disparage.You failed to rebut anything that I said about his weak, sniveling, and pathetic performance. And you failed to mention that Obama is a Harvard Law grad.

    Soetoro was the name of Obama’s step-father when his mother was married to him. So what?
    And except for some stupid charge involving their vacations, you haven’t said anything substantive (sorry for the big word) against him.

    ‘plainscary’ is right. As in, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

    Twist what you want.

    Imagine I said what I didn’t say. 

    IF the “establishment” wanted to win, they wouldn’t back either Newt  nor Romney. The establishment would realize their day is over, and get the hell out of the way. 

    However, the establishment likes the “status quo”…the losing. They go along, they aren’t much different than Democrats. They have their little place, their world, their-whatever…Which is why the TEA party became a FORCE to be reckoned with.

    Which is why You and BooBoo and Charlie hate Sarah…she is the face and voice of the tea party…

    You have your political leader. And he’s a failure, unless pushing us closer to socialism is a success-and that may be what you want…But not me. So, he fails. He’s no leader. He is an instrument of Soros and Buffet, and all those who made millions or billions off of our bailouts, because, they were advisors to Barry.

    One more thing Steve,
         You know that Obama attended Occidental college. 
    He received a scholarship…A scholarship designed for a person that wasn’t an American Citizen. 

  • Anonymous

    You said what you said. I quoted you directly. You just didn’t like how it turned out. Any more than I liked being told that I’m the ignorant one here. When, of course, it’s you.

    I hate Sarah Palin because she’s an ignorant douchebag. Who encourages other ignorant people to celebrate and revel in their ignorance and stupidity. And decide on which lies to believe. Which you’ve chosen to regurgitate here, Like the idea that Obama is a Socialist. Utter crap. Nor has anyone told me what, exactly, is wrong with Soros. Other than the fact that he’s made a lot of money, but didn’t give it to Republicans. And now Warren Buffet is a bad guy, too?
    Sounds like anti-capitalist propaganda to me.

    And if SHE is the face of the teabaggers, you’re going nowhere. Like she did.

    And you think that the Repub establishment should get out of the way, because you say so? Get real, you’re the ones who will be gone in November, as you drag the party down with you. THAT is why they don’t want Gingbang. And that’s why Obama will win, going away.

    As for your ridiculous charge that Obama got a scholarship for non-citizens, what crap. Where’s the proof? Or didn’t you think that you’d be asked for any?
    But thanks for revealing yourself as a birther. It explains a lot.

    Stevie,
        You confuse name calling for intellect.
    You call names to shut other people up. 
    You try to intimidate by your exaggerated use of words like repugnicrat, and then you try to belittle by calling some people-women, I’m sure, douche bags…

    You don’t want to have a conversation. You don’t want to see ANYTHING (imagine me, waving my hand over your eyes as I say this)…You are a thug. If you could be one on the street, you would be…You are in charge of the beat down.

    And, I’m not afraid of thugs. Douche bags have been out for decades (don’t ya know, douching is bad for a woman’s body), and you don’t like strong women…hence the douche bag, and beat down on Palin.

    So. We have come to an impasse.

    Back to Buffet: He is cheating (owing, since 2002) on taxes for his company. He is an advisor to the President, and because Mr. Buffet is a billionaire (1% that everyone hates), Buffet has access to head of companies that would be bailed out by the US Government (that is you (if you work) and me, and all the hardworking people in the US. He hedged on stocks on companies to be bailed out, and made approximately $3.7 billion on insider trading. 

    Soros…He’s a player. He plays to the demise of countries and currencies. 

    Wake up.

    I don’t confuse anything.
    I’m secure in my intellect, just as you’re confused about yours.
    As for name-calling, you might want to check out the name-calling done by wrong-wingers, both here, and out there. And then, clean up your own filthy house before you start worrying about mine.
    I never said ‘repugnicrat’. That would make no sense, as it combines republican and Democrat. I’ve said ‘repugnantan’ and ‘repulsivan’. So what, other than the fact that you resent it?
    And who says that I don’t like strong women? You? Another load of crap from a know-nothing. I like lots of strong women, both in and out of politics, and the fact that I don’t like Palin proves nothing in that regard. She IS a douchebag, whose appeal is to other douchebags, both male and female.
    And no, I don’t know that douching is passe. Nor do I believe it is.
    Nor am I a thug, just because you find yourself unable to get over on me. If I try to intimidate, it’s with my aforementioned intellect, which, in the final analysis, is what should prevail in a politically based forum. Over the forces of ignorance, who try to intimidate rational people with their utter garbage. If you don’t like it, or find it to be more than you can deal with, then stay away. Trust me, no one will miss you.
    You’ve failed to answer my many points, that just to list them is more trouble than you’re remotely worth. But, if you can get past your juvenile snit, you might start with my analysis of Gingrinch. Which was the basis of the article.
    And your brief condemnation of Soros, proves nothing. Other than your own lack of knowledge, and your lack of bluffing ability.
    And your willingness to follow the directions of your puppet masters.

    And if you don’t want to be insulted, don’t start by telling me: “You don’t know crap.” 
    And then, like Gingrich, bitch about being offended when I respond in kind.
    Don’t dish it out if you can’t take it. Or is that too intellectual for you?
