Sarah Palin Hits Back At ‘Annoying Little Mosquito’ Bill Maher

video
» 234 comments

While talking to Greta van Susteren the other day, Sarah Palin announced that she was going to stop “whining about a liberal press that holds conservative women to a different standard.” She continued that theme in a Facebook post in which she was explained that she was going to instead; fight back. First up on the docket, Bill Maher who called Palin a “dumb tw*t” on his show last week.

Now, Palin didn’t respond to the Maher by name. Instead she took the high road. Or, at least, the politics and media version of the high road where you do respond but just don’t name the other person so as to prove how you’re the bigger person by “not responding” (see also: Glenn Beck on Lawrence O’Donnell):

“Upon my return from an outstanding and productive trip to India and Israel, I’ve been inundated with requests to respond to petty comments made in the media the past few days, including one little fella’s comment which decent people would find degrading. (I won’t bother responding to it though, because it was made by he who reminds me of an annoying little mosquito found zipped up in your tent; he can’t do any harm, but buzzes around annoyingly until it’s time to give him the proverbial slap.)”

See? That’s totally different than responding. That’s just spending a paragraph talking about how you’re not responding while comparing your enemy to a bug.

It’s also not whining. Palin’s post, entitled “Lamestream Media: Reload or White Flag?”, helpfully explains her new modus operandi to those who worried that she’d have nothing to say now that she was through “whining about the liberal press.”

“I was raised to believe that you don’t retreat when you’re on solid ground; so even though it often seems like I’m armed with just a few stones and a sling against a media giant, I’ll use those small resources to do what I can to set the record straight. The truth is always worth fighting for. Doing so isn’t whining or ‘playing the victim card’; it’s defending the truth in fairness to those who seek accurate information. I’ll keep attempting to correct misinformation and falsehoods about myself and my record, and I will certainly never shy from defending others who are unfairly attacked. This is in the name of justice.

I’ll keep correcting false reporting, and I’ll defend others to the hilt; but I won’t spend any more precious, limited time responding to personal, vulgar, sexist venom spewed my way.”

It’s a well-written post that’s sure to inspire her base. And the idea that Palin will stop wasting time with her attackers and instead fight for others is a good one. After all, Palin does have actual things to say about the country. Too much of the time, though, she’s talking up David Letterman’s monologue jokes. Sure, this wouldn’t be a problem if so many people in the media had such a hard on for attacking her, but it’s nice to see her promise to truly be the bigger person.

However, lets see if she sticks with it or if she keeps referring to cable TV hosts as insects. If she doesn’t, this declaration of a brand new, tougher-skinned Sarah Palin will be about as worthwhile as the White House’s promises that what we’re doing in Libya isn’t technically “war.”

    Sarah Palin has a much tougher skin than Obama, another reason why she’ll be a far president than him in 2013. If Maher did to Obama what he does to Palin he’d be wearing a white hood.

  • perceptorii

    Maher made up something about Palin wanting to attack “tsunamians” or something, made fun of her because it’s something she might have said or something, and then gratuitously threw in some sexist name-calling. Given all that, I’d forgive Palin for saying, “Really, Bill? REALLY?”

  • Big Eddie

    Excellent , Sarah .
    Maher is a mosquito .
    To the left , Maher is Mark Twain . To thinking people , he’s an insignificant bug .

    As for the White House saying Libya action is not technically war , Obama is clueless and hopes the public is . Even Peggy Noonan is catching on to him :

    ” It all seems rather mad, doesn’t it? The decision to become involved militarily in the Libyan civil war couldn’t take place within a less hospitable context. The U.S. is reeling from spending and deficits, we’re already in two wars, our military has been stretched to the limit, we’re restive at home, and no one, really, sees President Obama as the kind of leader you’d follow over the top. “This way, men!” “No, I think I’ll stay in my trench.” People didn’t hire him to start battles but to end them. They didn’t expect him to open new fronts. Did he not know this? ”

    Hmmm….Palin, the one with the thicker skin, spends a week “defending” herself against someone she is “ignoring”.

    Obama, the thinskinned one, simply ignores detractors and birthers and goes on about the business of running the country.

    And Big Eddie, the right needs to figure out what they want us to do instead of running around like their hair is on fire. A “do the opposite of what Obama is doing” strategy is not a strategy. Newt (1st week) “I would institute a no-fly zone tonight” Newt (2nd week) “I would have not taken that action”.

    Mahar is going further away from reality every day. A couple of year ago he was identified as a very intelligent man. He keeps trying to find out what that meant! Perhaps he’ll get someone to explain what ‘ ‘megalomaniacal twit’ means! It’s hard to take his attempts at humor seriously anymore.

    Hey Mediaite, Sarah Palin has NOTHING to say, which is why she spends all her time discussing nonsense, she doesn’t have a real view of any issues. She’s like Rebecca Black, who sings “Friday. All the sudden one day she was famous, famous for being inept, then she just went with it and because people felt sorry for her, she became popular.

    She has no message, she didn’t have “productive” trip to Israel (mostly because she doesn’t work in our government), and quite frankly, this will not “inspire” her base. She doesn’t have a base, even if people like her, they don’t want her as president, it’s pretty obvious.. and the GOP will never let that happen either.

  • Zermatt2

    This woman is a total twit. It is quite annoying how she speaks. Most of the time, she cannot even string together some words to make a proper English sentence.

    But, that’s the least of her problems. Why did she even make that statement about Bill Maher, even though she did not mention his name, when she claims that she will stop whining about the liberal press? Is Bill Maher even part of the press?

    If this woman was truly a mature adult, one who is serious about running for POTUS, she’d ignore completely things people say about her. I’ve never heard Obama whine or fight back against the birthers. He’s made a joke or two, but there is so much of this birther crap out there, if Obama were like Palin, that’s all we’d hear from him…..fighting back against birthers. I’ve never heard Obama whine or yell back at the idiots who make fun of Michelle. He is an adult who simply ignores people like this because he knows they are idiots.

    Palin says: ” I will certainly never shy from defending others who are unfairly attacked. This is in the name of justice.” Hasn’t Obama been unfairly attacked by these birthers? Hasn’t his wife been not only unfairly, but also hatefully attacked by those on the right who call her “fat” or say she has “big thighs” or say that she is a “gorilla?” Has Palin come out and made remarks condemning people who make such comments?

    What a twit.

    The loons that post here just repeat lies about her and every other conservative that says a word and when people here correct their lies they attack them as their supporters.

    I have corrected the lies about Obama and Hillary Clinton. It just just happens that the libs lie MORE about conservatives than conservatives lie about libs.

    Stand up comedy died with Bob Hope.

    Since the death of that comic genius, the so-called comics had to rely on obscenities and vulgar name-calling to cajole a laugh out of their ignorant, mostly uneducated liberal audience, who, of course, along with the “comic” perceive themselves sophisticated and cultured.

    Bill Maher is a vulgar, sewer-mouthed pig. He makes his sick, twisted comments about anyone, not just Sarah Palin, who disagrees with his view of the world, in the security of his HBO studio.

    Let him say what he say about Sarah Palin with Todd in the audience.

    Stand up comedy died with Bob Hope.

    Since the death of that comic genius, the so-called comics had to rely on obscenities and vulgar name-calling to cajole a laugh out of their ignorant, mostly uneducated liberal audience, who, of course, along with the “comic” perceive themselves sophisticated and cultured.

    Bill Maher is a vulgar, sewer-mouthed pig. He makes his sick, twisted comments about anyone, not just Sarah Palin, who disagrees with his view of the world, in the security of his HBO studio.

    Let him say what he say about Sarah Palin with Todd in the audience.

    I am a fair person. As soon as he does that I will pay him the respect he deserves when he sucks soup through a straw for the rest of his miserable life.

    I’m sure Maher would LOVE to have either Palin there and WOULD say it to their face. Problem is: Maher doesn’t have a show on FOX

  • Morgan

    I like Palin and I think some day she might make a good president.
    The irony is that Obama may have destroyed any current plans she may have had to run in ’12. Obama has made it painfully obvious how important it is to have experience before taking office. He is making every mistake concievable, ruining our health care system, our and the world’s economy, divided our nation, stopped our recovery (as we go into a second recession), has implemented an energy policy worse than no policy at all (as we go into $4 + per gallon gas), insulted our intelligence with extravagant vacations, tempted our advisaries by weakening our resolve, for being the president of his constituency and not of the USA…. and a few more things I’ve missed.

    With this, I don’t think it’s his fault. He was inexperienced and didn’t know better. If I was to blame someone, it would be the media that didn’t propperly vet the candidates in ’08 to expose Obama as over his head and not qualified to be president. I blame the media for NOT DOING THEIR JOB!.

    I blame the voting public for not doing their job and not considering each of the candidates to see if they were qualified for doing the job. Not just expressing their Hope for Change.

    On the same subject , I blame the State legislators for leaving their state instead of representing their people.
    Ultimately we will all be measured by how we do our jobs. It seems that those that don’t do their jobs are all of the same liberal breed.

    As for becoming president, it will be best if we have the opportunity to see how all the candidates have performed in their careers in similar (executive) offices. Whether it is Obama, Palin or Reagan, they will serve this office best after they have had previous exposure in the world; better than they would after first showing their potentials for leadership.

    Sarah Palin’s IQ: no higher than 110

    The starting point for my estimation of Sarah Palin’s IQ is her college career. The fact that she graduated from a four year college at all indicates her IQ is above average (above 100). But her college history seems indicative of someone who was barely able to graduate.

    It seems as if she couldn’t hack majoring at business at a college in Hawii, and then transferred to community colleges, and finally was able to transfer back to an easy four year college, the University of Idaho, where she graduated with an easy major, journalism.

    She definitely does not have the college career of someone whose IQ is one standard deviation or more above the man (115 or higher). Thus her IQ is likely somewhere between 100 and 115. Perhaps I was being generous in the previous post where I estimated 110. It could be as little as 100. A person with an IQ of 100 can still graduate from a four year college if she chooses an easy major and attends a non-challenging school such as the University of Idaho.

    Now we must look at evidence of smartness and evidence of dumbness. Evidence of smartness first:

    (1) Her sister says she is smart. In her biography, the sister says she was a bookworm as a kid, and on a recent interview on CNN, the sister said Sarah is very smart. It’s not unheard of for siblings to help each other out, so this doesn’t really prove much. I would also not put much stock in the opinions of people in Wasilla where she was mayor. The average IQ of Wasilla seems to be about 95, and in the land of the blind the one-eyed woman is queen.

    (2) She seemed competent talking about oil drilling on a Larry Kudlow interview that I watched. What IQ does one need to speak competently about one topic? I think the 110 number would be high enough.

    (3) She got elected governor of Alaska. Surely this must demonstrate something? On the other hand, it seems to me like some freak occurrence, and maybe demonstrates the low IQ of Alaska voters rather than the high IQ of Sarah. Alaska does have a pretty abysmal high school graduation rate. Most intellectual Alaskans flee the state for more mentally stimulating jobs in the lower 48.

    (4) She gave a good speech at the convention. To what extent is public speaking correlated IQ? The correlation may not be that high. There are lots of high IQ people who are abysmal public speakers, so public speaking is not a highly g-loaded task. Normally, people with IQs below 115 don’t have the opportunity to do much public speaking because they don’t have much to say. But my guess is that a person with a propensity for public speaking with an IQ of 100 can sound a lot smarter than her IQ if there is a smart person available to put words in her mouth.

    Meaningless evidence:

    (1) Sarah is very self confident. Self confidence is a trait that, if correlated with intelligence at all, is most likely inversely correlated. Comparing races, blacks have the highest self-confidence and Asians have the lowest self-confidence. But blacks have the lowest IQ and Asians have the highest IQ. Self confidence allows you to trick people into believing that you’re more competent than you really are. Self confidence is related to being a good public speaker, so this trait is tricking people into overestimating her IQ.

    Evidence of dumbness: (1) She majored in journalism but there’s no evidence that she ever wrote anything.
    Writing is a highly g-loaded task, so the lack of anything that she’s written could indicate her inability to write at a competent level.

    (2) She had to hire an administrator to run the “city” of Wasilla. Indicates she wasn’t smart enough to run the city herself?

    (3) Interest in evangelical Christianity. People who believe in the literal word of the Bible and get into evangelical Christianity are, on average, less intelligent than mainline Protestants.

    (4) No intellectual hobbies. Smart people have intellectual hobbies. Sarah likes to hunt moose.

    (4) Proleness I find this to be the most compelling indicator that Sarah’s IQ isn’t much higher than the minimum required to graduate from the University of Idaho. Social class is highly correlated with IQ. This correlation is much higher than the correlation between income and IQ or between income and class.

    Both of Sarah’s parents are school teachers, the quintessential middle class jobs, but Sarah has clearly sunk to prole. Her husband hasn’t graduated from college, Track is not going to college, and Bristol gives no indication of being college-bound. Track getting arrested, and Bristol getting pregnant at 17 are markers of being prole rather than middle class.

    Sinking in class below one’s parents tends to indicate having a lower IQ than one’s parents, which is why I have a hard time believing that Sarah’s IQ is any higher than 110.

    Why don’t your read carefully, Pablo? I’ve already given you the URL.

    “Barack Obama’s college transcript from Harvard is not available and I cannot locate his college GPA, his SAT score, or his LSAT score, or any other tangible evidence of his IQ score.

    However, after performing a bit of research the facts were uncovered reflecting his LSAT score while attending Harvard Law School. ….We found that the average LSAT score for ALL Harvard students during Barrack Obama’s college years were 171. Furthermore,the percentile rank for an LSAT score of 171 at Harvard during Obama’s college stay were 98.8 %.

    MENSA will accept LSAT scores as a means of qualifying for MENSA membership. Please note that MENSA also accepts up to 200 various IQ tests as well other tests of mental acuity. The LSAT score required for MENSA membership is equal to a percentile of 95% or higher. Thus basing Barack Obama’s estimated LSAT score of 171 ranks him in the top 98.8% percentile range which is clearly above the lowest acceptable LSAT percentage rank of 95% which clearly affirms that Obama has a qualifying intelligence quotient that would allow him acceptance into MENSA.

    To validate this source, I went to the USA MENSA Home Page and double checked my research and MENSA has a page to verify my findings. The page can be verified by this link: Qualifying Test Scores that MENSA accepts.

    Another interesting fact about Obama is that he graduated from Harvard Law School with the honor of Magna Cum Laude which according to the Wikipedia definition…”Magna Cum Laude” is graduating with great praise; an honor added to a diploma or degree for work considered greatly above average.”
    Even though we cannot pin point Barack Obama’s IQ Score, it is safe to assume that he has a high enough IQ score to be accepted into MENSA.”

    If Palin were an actual conservative, maybe the media would take her seriously rather than as the opportunist that she has shown herself to be. She’s in the grifter tradition that takes advantage of those who are not very bright, or at least not as bright as her. And she has the advantage of being alive in the era of lazy corporatist journalism where the aim isn’t anything beyond ratings and advertising sales to other corporations and to political dog and pony shows.

    I’m not sure if Palin is the best choice as the Republican nominee for President but she sure would make a better President than the one we got now. From a man’s point of view much better looking too. I do agree with most of her politics and she is much tougher and more intelligent than some will give her credit for. And she probably has a valid birth certificate she’s not afraid to show. hehe!

    Wow, I feel like I’m standing over a barrel full of catfish with a pair of sawed-off shotguns in hand. Where to start?

    The original poster attempted to praise Palin by first pointing out that she’s better looking (“from a man’s point of view,” heh, heh) than Obama. And then opined that she “probably” had a valid birth certificate. And then trotted out a logorrheic anti-Obama nursery rhyme: “marxist-community-organizer-lawyer.” (Oh, and “drill, baby, drill,” as the rhetorical cherry on top.)

    In the context of whether someone’s qualified for the presidency, it seems pretty fair to characterize the author of that screed as a moron and a dimwit. You may disagree.

    And how do you express your disagreement? By dragging out the shade of George Soros, the eternal wingnut bogeyman. Soros didn’t need to bring any of those suits, because regular folks, most of them Alaskans, were plenty motivated to bring Palin up short, for cause. And as I recall, she ended up on the wrong side of many of the actions against her.

    And no, I don’t think you’re making this junk up. I think you probably read indiscriminately of the wingnut press and blogosphere and are sure you’ve got the straight truth on your side. So sad.

    Let’s be real: Palin quit so she could make a pile as a faux columnist, as a faux pundit, as a faux voice of the American people. Unsurprisingly, she did it on Faux News.

    And she’s done very well for herself. Cunning rather than intelligent, she realized (or was advised) that her use-by date would expire pretty quickly if she “just” attempted to govern Alaska, and so had get past that pesky election commitment to serve and begin raking in the long green. She “had no choice” only if the choice was between milking her accidental fame or doing the job she promised to do.

    We all know what she chose.

    And while demonization is hardly restricted to the right, your pretending that only lefties engage in character assassination is jaw-dropping. Did you watch any election ads in 2010? Have you listened to Hannity, Beck, O’Reilly, Ingraham, Limbaugh and legions of lesser turd-flingers? Hell, I live nearly 10,000 miles away and I can still hear those hyenas bay.

    You do realize that there’s a difference between resigning from the Senate to become President, and resigning from a governorship to shoot moose on third-rate reality TV? Well, perhaps you don’t. So sad.

    You and the original poster seem to live in a fact-free world of intense resentment and curdled moral values. I’m encouraged by the fact that you appear to be in the minority, but there’s only so much bile the body politic can absorb before it begins to sicken and die. Palin may be a symptom rather than the disease, but the fact that she’s listened to at all is profoundly disturbing to people who genuinely care about America’s future.

    Rock on Mediadoubt! All this hullaballoo about a word that means more besides the original term for certain private areas of the female anatomy eg: the buttocks or the perineum used in a derogatory way. Some folks just go straight to the gutter without passing GO etc or knowing the other possibilities.. Obviously Maher was not talking about this sexual context but the OTHER meaning of the word. ‘Twat’ can be used interchangeably with ‘twit’ which means a foolish person. This is the context of the joke and yes, put down accurate though it may be. Comedians put down people all the time. It’s their job. Sometimes other folks just don’t get the humor or do not posess the vocabulary or knowledge to understand the humor. Many of the politicians can take it but Ms. Palin is notoriously thin skinned. She’d never be able to handle the bashing a current US president receives on a daily basis and, yes, she is a foolish person not to be taken seriously. This whole outcry against the use of ‘twat’ is a tempest in a teapot. He could’ve used ‘twit’ and only gotten half of the ire but it wouldn’t have been as funny or as provocative. Mahr loves the controversy. So do we.

You figure it wasn’t enough to have to defend yourself from the nasty print media, now you have to hire lawyers to defend yourself against nasty and baseless lawsuits. Then you falsely state that the people of Alaska hated Palin. That is a patent lie and what an odd quinky dink that the same people kept filing law suits one after the other. Gee, no collusion there. Oh by the way, the woman filing the lawsuits didn’t have two nickels to rub together but had access to all these wonderful lawyers with no scruples, but you were not interested in finding out who was paying for the lawyers.

    So, you can use all the big words you want medialiar. You’ve been had and are not bright enough to even know it. You think you know it all? lol You know absolutely nothing and your lying and covering for dastardly behavior proves that your moral compass has been thrown into the garbage.

    Here is a list of 18 frivolous complaints filed against her, all of which have been dismissed:

    http://www.adn.com/2009/06/21/838912/ethics-complaints-filed-against.html

    We keep hearing from the left that she quit as governor to make money. Under Alaska law at the time there was no mechanism in place for the governor to be defended by the state when ethics complaints are filed.

    Thise frivolous ethics complaints put her in about a half million dollars in debt defending herself. She couldn’t do the job with financial ruin hanging over her head. So, she quit. Then she took the opportunity to make some money.

    Wouldn’t you?

    Singer said:
    Sarah Palin’s IQ: no higher than 110

    The starting point for my estimation of Sarah Palin’s IQ is her college career. The fact that she graduated from a four year college at all indicates her IQ is above average (above 100). But her college history seems indicative of someone who was barely able to graduate.

    It seems as if she couldn’t hack majoring at business at a college in Hawii, and then transferred to community colleges, and finally was able to transfer back to an easy four year college, the University of Idaho, where she graduated with an easy major, journalism.

    She definitely does not have the college career of someone whose IQ is one standard deviation or more above the man (115 or higher). Thus her IQ is likely somewhere between 100 and 115. Perhaps I was being generous in the previous post where I estimated 110. It could be as little as 100. A person with an IQ of 100 can still graduate from a four year college if she chooses an easy major and attends a non-challenging school such as the University of Idaho.

    Now we must look at evidence of smartness and evidence of dumbness. Evidence of smartness first:

    (1) Her sister says she is smart. In her biography, the sister says she was a bookworm as a kid, and on a recent interview on CNN, the sister said Sarah is very smart. It’s not unheard of for siblings to help each other out, so this doesn’t really prove much. I would also not put much stock in the opinions of people in Wasilla where she was mayor. The average IQ of Wasilla seems to be about 95, and in the land of the blind the one-eyed woman is queen.

    (2) She seemed competent talking about oil drilling on a Larry Kudlow interview that I watched. What IQ does one need to speak competently about one topic? I think the 110 number would be high enough.

    (3) She got elected governor of Alaska. Surely this must demonstrate something? On the other hand, it seems to me like some freak occurrence, and maybe demonstrates the low IQ of Alaska voters rather than the high IQ of Sarah. Alaska does have a pretty abysmal high school graduation rate. Most intellectual Alaskans flee the state for more mentally stimulating jobs in the lower 48.

    (4) She gave a good speech at the convention. To what extent is public speaking correlated IQ? The correlation may not be that high. There are lots of high IQ people who are abysmal public speakers, so public speaking is not a highly g-loaded task. Normally, people with IQs below 115 don’t have the opportunity to do much public speaking because they don’t have much to say. But my guess is that a person with a propensity for public speaking with an IQ of 100 can sound a lot smarter than her IQ if there is a smart person available to put words in her mouth.

    Meaningless evidence:

    (1) Sarah is very self confident. Self confidence is a trait that, if correlated with intelligence at all, is most likely inversely correlated. Comparing races, blacks have the highest self-confidence and Asians have the lowest self-confidence. But blacks have the lowest IQ and Asians have the highest IQ. Self confidence allows you to trick people into believing that you’re more competent than you really are. Self confidence is related to being a good public speaker, so this trait is tricking people into overestimating her IQ.

    Evidence of dumbness: (1) She majored in journalism but there’s no evidence that she ever wrote anything.
    Writing is a highly g-loaded task, so the lack of anything that she’s written could indicate her inability to write at a competent level.

    (2) She had to hire an administrator to run the “city” of Wasilla. Indicates she wasn’t smart enough to run the city herself?

    (3) Interest in evangelical Christianity. People who believe in the literal word of the Bible and get into evangelical Christianity are, on average, less intelligent than mainline Protestants.

    (4) No intellectual hobbies. Smart people have intellectual hobbies. Sarah likes to hunt moose.

    (4) Proleness I find this to be the most compelling indicator that Sarah’s IQ isn’t much higher than the minimum required to graduate from the University of Idaho. Social class is highly correlated with IQ. This correlation is much higher than the correlation between income and IQ or between income and class.

    Both of Sarah’s parents are school teachers, the quintessential middle class jobs, but Sarah has clearly sunk to prole. Her husband hasn’t graduated from college, Track is not going to college, and Bristol gives no indication of being college-bound. Track getting arrested, and Bristol getting pregnant at 17 are markers of being prole rather than middle class.

    Sinking in class below one’s parents tends to indicate having a lower IQ than one’s parents, which is why I have a hard time believing that Sarah’s IQ is any higher than 110.

    Maher only has a high school degree; no postgraduate college degree. He has not been married; he spends his time at the Playboy Club for his sex kicks. He has no children. He has a foul, dirty mouth. What’s he going to do when Palin is the POTUS (Obama is a one term president)? I don’t think that he will be invited to the WH.

    You expect to be taken seriously mediadoubt, when you can’t even be honest able what “they” did or tried to do to Palin?

    Look, I don’t know if she is or isn’t candidate material. That is not the issue. The issue is the left’s zeal to destroy a person for no reason but that they have the media on their side and truth is not their strong suit is pathetic and gives one pause as to their character.

    You don’t like a candidate – fine, but you don’t “destroy” him because looky here the media is my friend and will publish any nonsense I feed them to make my case (truth is not a requirement).

    OK, let’s look at the issue: “the left’s zeal to destroy a person for no reason but that they have the media on their side . . .”

    First, you need to get over the notion that the left “has the media on [its] side.” Most of the media is owned by right-of-center media conglomerates who actively discourage leftist and progressive opinions among their reporters, producers, and editors. In the case of Fox News, they go so far as to issue daily memos instructing the news staff on what the official truth to be discovered that day is, according to senior management. And getting hired at Fox if you’re anything but a committed right-winger (or liberal punching bag of the Colmes variety) is a losing proposition.

    One thing we probably agree on: truth is in short supply from the American media, and the whole country is paying the cost.

    I’m also ready to acknowledge that in media companies that are relatively independent of their right-wing management, individual reporters probably trend left of center. That’s one side effect of “liberal arts,” to which many newsies are exposed during their education. Don’t know if there’s any fix for that. As Stephen Colbert famously said, “reality has a well-known leftwing bias.”

    And the newsies struggle with the requirements of the marketplace vs the requirements of truth. It tends to force them to the center, so they can retain professional pride in not allowing their opinions color their reporting of facts.

    I can give you all sorts of reasons why left-of-center people reacted so strongly to Sarah Palin. First off, she’s just downright nasty, in a way that sets people’s teeth on edge. You’ve seen the movie “Heathers?” Palin is the perfect Heather — a grown-up mean girl who never moved beyond schoolgirl snark. Admitedly, that’s an emotional response rather than a rational one, but it’s a pretty strong motivator. Just as political operatives measure whether a candidate is “someone you’d like to have a beer with,” they also measure whether the candidate is “someone you’d like to spit in the face of.”

    Palin is the second type.

    Fear also drove a lot of the negative reaction to Palin. Fear as in “holy shit, that nitwit might be a heartbeat away from the presidency?” Palin was the most uninformed, ignorant, unprepared, and erratic candidate for national office in my lifetime. The fact that McCain and the Republican Party would risk the country by putting such an inept candidate forward verges on recklessness. And don’t fool yourself: Palin’s performance during the election sent millions of votes Obama’s way.

    Those are just a few reasons why people came down on Palin like a ton of bricks. And it has nothing to do with media being in lefties’ pockets.

    So let’s talk about the lawsuits. I never said that the people of Alaska hated Palin. Certainly some do, and as more of her behavior (much of it dredged up by the national press, as you point out) was reported to her constituents, her ranking with them plummeted. By the time she threw the job out the window, her approval had crashed significantly. (Have a look at this link: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/akmuckraker/sarah-palins-approval-rat_b_198658.html) The likelihood of her winning a second term was becoming increasingly remote.

    Sure some of the suits were frivolous and filed in spite. Some were dismissed, although not necessarily because the charges were untrue, but sometimes because they didn’t rise to the level of official misfeasance/malfeasance or were bungled by the defacto plaintiffs. And some were clear violations by Palin and her camp of ethical rules and regulations and she was admonished or forced to make some sort of reparation. Troopergate, which didn’t see anyone sent to prison, was nevertheless a clear and acknowledged unethical use of the power of her office to punish a relative’s despised ex-husband.

    And the notion that she “had” to quit to protect her family and the State of Alaska? Lord love a duck. Other politicians under such attacks have weathered much more violent storms with ten times the grace. And this thin-skinned whiner is a person you’d seriously consider putting in the White House?

    And none of the suits were funded by Soros. The funding of lawsuits seems to be a particular bugaboo of the right — and here you are pointing out that some penniless plaintiff was nevertheless able to lawyer up and bring suit. I guess that means you believe that only the affluent (or those who can set up legal defense funds) should be allowed to seek redress in the courts. Which brands you as an obedient little prole, the kind that your betters really, really appreciate. Just keep up that loyalty to the masters and you’re sure to get a tasty crust when your usefulness to them expires.

    I realize that Soros gives money to organizations and causes that you disapprove of. For that matter, the Koch brothers give money to organizations and causes that I disapprove of. It seems we agree that deep-pocketed plutocrats have a greater influence on our society than either one of us is comfortable with.

    Finally, I don’t know who you think I’ve been had by. The wicked left-wing cabal plotting to bring Sarah down? All the authors of everything I’ve read or heard over the last 50 years who have worked together to delude me? My teachers from kindergarten onwards, who’ve made me incapable of seeing a grifter when she’s flouncing on a stage in front of me? Or the people in my life, and my life experiences themselves, which have all contributed to the development of my moral compass? My imagination just isn’t broad enough to come up with a conspiracy of that scope.

    (Oh by the way, sorry about the “big words” — Like the newsies I mentioned above, I too am the victim of a liberal arts education and have been unable to resist the urge to express myself with precision.)

    “I’ll keep correcting false reporting, and I’ll defend others to the hilt; but I won’t spend any more precious, limited time responding to personal, vulgar, sexist venom spewed my way.”

    Maher is a comedian, you illiterate attention whore. Relax. It’s not everybody else’s fault you have extremely thin skin and can’t take any jokes said about you. Go back to Alaska and stay there so you can wallow in your history of being a half-Governor to make piles of money giving pointless speeches. Enjoy your greed, sweetheart.

    mediadoubt seems to think that being a community organizer made Obama much more qualified to be president than Palin. But like so many on the left, he had a ‘liberal education’, and thus is just a bit smarter than anyone else and qualified to pontificate upon his opinions as if they are fact.
