Sarah Palin Denounces GOP ‘Viciousness’: ‘Enough Is Enough With The Lies About Newt Gingrich’

video
» 104 comments

Sarah Palin was fairly busy over the weekend, writing an extensive post calling out Republican “Stalinesque” “cannibalism,” reappropriating the term “Rage Against the Machine” for Newt Gingrich, and all but endorsing the former House Speaker. On tonight’s Hannity, Palin continued to abstain from an official endorsement, but demanded of Republicans a vigorous nomination process that would guarantee a win for a “big dog” that could take down President Obama.

Sean Hannity noted that Palin had said that, as a South Carolina voter, she would vote for Gingrich, and wondered if anything had changed. Palin responded that she wanted to “keep the process going” to find “who is best able to defend our republic,” and that the process must find “who has been sharpened and shaped through the school of hard knocks the most.” We need a big dog,” she continued, one capable of defeating the President.

Palin acknowledged that things had gotten “vicious” in the Republican party, and that she did not believe that gratuitous attacks were warranted, but “what I will call people on is when they choose to lie about a candidate.” ‘I’m not whining about the viciousness,” she notes, but the “rewritten history” about Gingrich got to her. “Enough is enough with the lies about Newt Gingrich.”

    Apparently Palin is an idiot and can’t read swing state polls.  People don’t like Newt as a person.  BTW, more then 60% of the country dislikes Palin as well.  Perhaps someone should inform them of that.

    I wholeheartedly agree with former Gov.Sarah Palin about the vicious attacks from the GOP
    high echelon against Newt Gingrich.It is not fair to say bad things about one particular person.
    The GOP establishment is supporting Mitt Romney so President Obama can defeat him
    easily.President Obama will serve the second term.In 2016, the GOP establishment will push
    someone who belongs to the establishment.If Newt becomes the nominee he can beat President
    Obama because Newt is more experienced than him.Newt can serve two terms and it will be
    long for them to wait.I encourage Newt to fight to the end if he loses Florida.Newt got too many low blows under the belt which will make Newt to loose the fight.I am a boxing fan ,I see that a boxer
    who gets many low blows under the belt looses the fight because he seriously suffers from the blows.I urge you all to wait and see what will happen.

    The folks behind Mediaite are in for a big surprise.  They put out articles about GOP internal squabbles to make themselves feel good.  But if they were plugged into the reality of the American political scene, they would understand that Romney will get the nomination and defeat Obama in the fall. 

    But given the level of denial at Mediaite, the staffers here are probably still fantasizing about a Donald Trump candidacy, and have convinced themselves that the big election issue in 2012 will be Obama’s birth certificate–a subject which has been covered far more extensively at Mediaite than the economy.  And that tells you everything you need to now about the value of this web site as a source of useful information.

    But isn’t the most interesting point here (this being Palin, remarkable for there being ANYTHING interesting but …) that, GOP icons – okay, admittedly silly & marginal but nonetheless gods to the GOP base – are NOT lining up behind Mittens, and not even staying neutral, but Going Newt, some of them with actual endorsements? 

    So, yes, this could be cries des coeurs as the Bircher wing is put to the sword, but not JUST that: if the Bircher wing was really confident that Mittens could sally forth & slay the Jabberwocky, we’d expect to see the GOP base, base of the party known for lining up in formation, coming together as one as Mittens’ millions buy his inevitability.  

    But no. Instead, what I think we’re seeing is icons like Palin, and Fred Thompson (beloved of Jackie Broles of Red State Update fame), and Cain endorsing Newt, taking parting shots, etc. That makes no sense – unless they’re confident that their squeamish boy has too little vorpal in his blade to vanquish the frumious Jubjub bird, and that Mittens will in fact snatch the bander of defeat –  and so, they’re preparing for the phoenix of Bircherism to rise from the ashes of Brillig’s coming ignominy.

    “Palin acknowledged that things had gotten “vicious” in the Republican
    party, and that she did not believe that gratuitous attacks were
    warranted, but “what I will call people on is when they choose to lie
    about a candidate”

    Let me get this straight…
    It’s not okay to “lie” about a candidate you support, but when it’s someone you do not agree with it’s perfectly alright?
    *cough* death panels *cough*

    I’ll have to remember this when Palin is going all out on Obama, again.

     She has me so confused. She wishes that Romney would stop with his attacks, on Gingrich but wont really endorse Gingrich. She is such an opportunist its not even funny. I was watching something today where basically Gingrich said Romney is the worst human being on the planet with nothing redeemable about him. But he stated well I would vote for him for president if he were nominated. Only in politics lol.

    Just come out and endorse the creep. It’s real easy, “I endorse him but whatever crap he pulls during the campaign season shall in no way reflects on me and ought not reflect on my political career henceforth”

    They’re dying to sink Romney but are terrified of the prospect of the next bombshell to inevitably come out of the type they admire and satisfies their thirst for blood. They know it is inevitable because they are that type and they know first hand the god-knows how many & what type of skeletons they have in their own closets

    Ever notice that all the front runners that have been made front runners by Tea Party excitement eventually came down in flames on account of some shady past conduct? Should this not tell you something tea partiers if you had an an ounce of critical thinking? You all have a flawed element & ominous strain in your character

    It was Barrack Obama in an interview with the NYT, who first suggested that if the taxpayer was funding expensive medical threatments then it would be an expert ‘panel’ who would decide whether this was the best use of resources compared to other uses.  Inevitable, as in Europe’s universal State health systems these decisions will be made on the basis of a utilitarian calculus.  All Sarah Palin did was to cut out the obfuscation, sophistry and clever wordplay and call such a panel by its proper name.

    Who knows?  Nobody hates Romney and for that matter nobody hates Barrack Obama, certainly not in the way that Sarah Palin is hated.  There is a good reason for this indifference.  Neither Romney nor Obama have any real convictions about anything.  They don’t stand for anything in general or in particular.  You listen to them and you hear a flow of words and you just know that they do not mean anything.

    Glad you asked. Here is a brief summary–has long experience of local government.  While Governor of Alaska between 2006 and 2009, among other interesting accomplishments were: (a) was the first state Gov in the US to take climate change seriously and creat a plan to rais reliance on renewable energy to 50% by 2025 the thirs highest target in the world after Norway and Austria, (b) vetoed all attempts by the Alaskan legislature to rescind the righs of gay couples, (c) sought and secured the support of the majority of the opposition Democrats in all her legislative initiatives–has a very fine bipartissan record (d) raised the credit rating of Alaska to AAA and left the state with massive savings and a budget surplus of $12B.  And that is just a few–a real contrast to the non-careers of Barrack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
