Sarah Palin: It’s ‘Insulting’ The Scare Tactics Obama ‘Tried To Shove Down The Public’s Throat’

Video
» 80 comments

In addition to cheering on Donald Trump, last night Sarah Palin also weighed in on the budget deal and President Obama’s role in the process. Palin thought Obama deserved no credit for the compromise and even thought his actions were “appalling” and “atrocious” since he used the funding of troops as a pawn in his political game.

Palin also suggested why the Tea Party should not be happy with the budget compromise:

“What the Tea Party wants is for government to be smaller and smarter. When you consider that we just saw an increase in government spending by about 28% and saw a little chip out of that to the tune of 1%, I would say that no the Tea Party and Americans in general who are concerned about the fiscal health of our country did not get what they wanted.”

Palin urged for more drastic cuts to be made, saying that after national defense is fully funded, then everything should be on the table. And she hesitantly supported Republican Congressman Paul Ryan‘s budget proposal, but her hesitancy was only because she wished it could be more aggressive and accomplished quicker.

However, she was most fired up over the criticism from Democrats about the Tea Party, which she labeled as a distraction:

“It’s very, very insulting what the administration and President Obama tried to shove down the American public’s throat in terms of that rhetoric and the scare tactics and the chaos that would ensue – they tried to get people to believe if there was a partial shutdown.”

Instead, Palin concluded Americans are much more intelligent than Democrats might think.

    She’s a parody of herself.

    Fear tactics? How about these examples?:

    “The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama’s ‘death panel’ so his bureaucrats can decide…. “—- Sarah Palin 8/7/09 via Facebook

    “Our opponent … is someone who sees America, it seems, as being so imperfect, imperfect enough, that he’s palling around with terrorists who would target their own country.” — Sarah Palin during 2008 campaign, Englewood, CO.

    Two losers, a failed governor and national joke and a woman who is a “judge” whose husband was in prison for tax evasion and hanging out with the Mafia, who was paying her limo driver when she was the D.A. over a hundred thousand dollars a year and was the highest paid government employee in the state of NY, and a person who dropped out of the Senate race against Hillary Clinton after one week because she said it was “hard”. Fox News is a sad joke.

  • azgrandma

    Never ceases to amaze me that she quit the governorship since she obviously could not handle that. She obviously can’t handle a couple of teenage daughters but she gets behind the microphone and tv camera for none other then Fox news and has all the answers to everything. One more thing I find interesting is that it appears she still has not released her emails from when she was governor. Wonder what she has hiding there. This broad is hypocrisy 101 and wish she would shut the pie hole – crawl back to Wasilla where she belongs – ooopss – maybe even they do not want her. Oh yes Queen Moron strikes again.

    It’s insulting to every intelligent American (especially women) that ditzes like Palin and Bachmann think their critical opinions will fix anything. Luckily most Americans are smart enough to keep such people out of high level offices during general elections (as did the fine folks in Delaware when they said NO to Christine O’Donnell THREE times).

  • http://www.swissarmyjew.com Keeva

    See, now this is just funny The same person that used the same scare tactics is now condemning the other side for using the same scare tactics. And she is debating a person that used scare tactics to try to run for Senate. And inaccurate. It was the GOP in the House that used military funding as a pawn in the game.

    That said, both sides should be pathetically ashamed for their behavior. This budget has been sitting in Congress for 15 months. 15 months! And the Democrats and Republicans chose not to act. Sure, the Democrats ignored it last year, but the new GOP House passed 2 continuing resolutions in their 3 months of power rather than deal with it, and a hard look at what the “agreed” to Friday is basically more of the same.

    Congress is an embarrassment to the people. Their running it out to the last second because of their cowardice and fear of being unpopular is a dereliction of duty.

    Palin is an oaf who’s too chicken and dumb to step outside her safety zone to answer pointed questions – even O’Reilly and Fox are revealing her lack of substance. Criticism and finger-pointing is all Palin has to offer and it won’t fix anything – look to someone like Daniels or Schweitzer if you want to know how to fix something.

    And the conservative agenda and their lies? Like the one about Planned Parenthood being 90 percent abortion? (actually 3 percent). Or the Liberal lie that high speed rail will somehow save us all.

    Both sides lie and lie big.

    Medicare: Obama cuts $500 billion from Medicare over 10 years and Repubs roast him for killing grandparents. Dems defend it as cutting fraud and waste. Now the GOP wants to basically end/privatize Medicare in 2022 and Dems roast them for killing grandparents. Repubs defend it as an “improvement to services.” All big honkin’ liars.

    Wait until the next round.

    Clinton raised income taxes on social security recipients
    Obama cuts Medicare half a trillion dollars
    Obamacare causes most insurance premiums to skyrocket 20 to 60 percent (so far)
    Democrat Louise Slaughter says “Republicans kill women”

    Bush gave retirees prescription coverage
    Bush had 53 consecutive months of economic growth after his tax cuts

    Obama cut Washington DC school vouchers, meanwhile, because of the GOP House, poor black kids in Washington DC get education vouchers to get out of the failing union controlled public schools… Boehner and the Tea Party got them back in.

    You all are witnessing a Tea Party revolution, that will continue through 2012…RINO’s and morally bankrupt Democrats will be defeated – vote by vote, month by month the truth is winning out.

    Do they get different news feeds in Alaska because what I heard her say and what really happen are pretty far apart. I think both sides shared equally on the tactics. The underhandedness came from the Republican House Representives trying to attach the EPA and Womens Planned Parenthood to this bill. It was appalling to the American public and an insult to our troops. This woman is a neophyte and why Fox news ask her opinion about anything is beyond me and pay her a million a year for her opinion, a screw has to loose somewhere.

    And the federal budget doubled under Bush. Obama is on track to match that, but the simple fact is that the Bush administration and the GOP led Congress were terrible with our money. Obama and the Dem led Congress were no better.

    However, cherry picking facts to suit the debate is what lying politicians do. I prefer all of the info. No president in the last fifty or so years has had a clue about fiscal responsibility. And it is the rare Congress critter that is any more responsible. Keep in mind that the GOP ran in 2010 on a platform of ending deficit spending while running up a 27 million dollar campaign deficit. So who really has any fiscal discipline? None of these clowns.

  • chris87654

    Palin has flamed out. She continues to communicate from her Alaskan safety bubble or in front of staged audiences, while Bachmann is taking over where Sarah’s afraid to go – gotta wonder when Sarah will comment on the increasing number of “New and Improved Sarah” articles.

  • chris87654

    Sarah’s got Michele’s tire tracks all over her….

    “If Sarah Palin was Everymom, Michele Bachmann is Supermom.” Not that either description relates to competency, but a statement like that has GOT to build pressure in Sarah’s head (if she doesn’t release it soon, she’s gonna KABOOM).

    “In the middle of the crowd, Tom Rogers, 65, of Westampton, N.J., hoists a sign with Ms. Bachmann’s picture that reads: “Tea Party Thanks Conservative Leadership.” He’s a Bachmann fan because of her willingness to step out and fight for her principles. “She’s got guts,” he says.” ….. Michele’s not afraid to face the public, while Sarah hides behind Fox, Facebook, and Twitter – or only appears before paying/filtered crowds. A person of action (albeit of an active loon), while Sarah plays her boring “watch me” game.

    “Ms. Bachmann’s visibility has allowed her to build a nationwide fan base and a fundraising juggernaut. Ms. Bachmann raised a record-shattering $13.5 million for her 2010 re-election race. In the first quarter this year, her Congressional campaign committee and Political Action Committee combined to bring in $2.2 million. Mr. Romney raised $1.9 million, though he is said to be holding off serious fundraising for the second quarter.”….. There were others mentioned in several recent articles, but nothing about Palin.

    Undoubtedly true, and it’s all that matters.

    Big question is if Sarah will continue her game and come out fighting (Bachmann) or take the opportunity to pass the presidential game to Sister Michele. A lot of “Bachmann is better than Sarah” articles have come out over the past couple weeks, and Sarah’s made NO comment at all – the pressure is building and if Sarah doesn’t release it soon (within 2-4 weeks), her head will explode.

    If Sarah Palin and her Tea Party followers along with her billionaire supporters were to take a written test in Social Science they would fail miserably. If they took a written test is rabble arousing they would pass with flying colors. That doesn’t say much for the wisdom of telling the Republicans how to run Government. If the Tea Party is smarter than the Republicans maybe we should split these congressmen pay checks with the Tea Party and they could dump the Koch Brothers financial blessings.

    I hadn’t really thought that Sarah was serious about running again. But perhaps if Bachman keeps taking the limelight away from her, her ego maybe large enough that she may jump on back in the game. If so, it will only become a beauty contest. All beauty and no brains. Dum and Dumber if you will.

    Gawd….what a stupid idiot bimbo Palin is. Lets see….she is OK with her republican daddy dubya bush and his daddy cheney using scare tactics and lies that have plunged this country into the deepest recession since the great depression but somehow Obama is insulting. She is OK with all the innocent Iraqi civilians that her republican daddy dubya bush and his daddy cheney murdered in their illegal unconstitution wars as well as all the American lives lost and butchured in those wars but Obama is insulting. Anyone seeing the picture here??? It was one that demonstrates the fact that these republicans live in an alternate universe. It is charactarized by pure arrogance, greed, hubris and twisted political ideology mixed with twisted religious ideology. In short…it demonstrates that republicans are the true dealers of hate, greed and fear in this nation and they are the ultimate poster child of human selfishness. After hearing anyone rake Obama over the coals in contrast to the damage republicans have done to this country, all i can say is…”thank god he didn’t have sex with a White House intern…”

    Exactly – like when Rove and others said Palin didn’t have what it takes to be a competent contender.

    Palin doesn’t “battle” with details of better plans. If she wants to keep it going, she’d have to resort to her usual immature methods (criticism, name-calling, and finger-pointing). It’d be bad if she started thrashing Bachmann (articles say many are waiting for a “catfight”…), because all would bounce back at Sarah since they’re so much alike (aside from Bachmann not being chicken to appear anywhere/anytime for free – but that couldn’t be used for a cut down). Every day that Palin remains silent about her, Bachmann moves ahead. Is kind of a checkmate.

    So Sarah says the GOP failed? That the Tea Party promise of $100 billion was a joke?
    Then she must be on board with the idea that the Ryan proposal is also a joke! That ending Medicare and Medicaid in the future and adding 2.9 trillion in tax cuts for the wealthy will not balance the budget. That the vouchers will get rejected up private insurers (haven’t we already been down this path?). That Ryan overstates his numbers, does nothing about SS, defense, revenue increases, and continues to increase the debt limit for the next 10 years?
    Way to knock the stuffing out of those Tea Party/GOP phonies, Sarah!

    I have lived in Austria the last twenty years and they have Socialized Medicene here. I have recieved great care, even had a liver transplant and am doing great. But when people who are not familar with Socialized Medicene say that the Death Panels are a Lie, then you have your head buried in the sand. My Brother-in-law retired in 2008, at 65 years old. In his whole life, he had never been to a doctor, never used the system. Then, in November 2008, he found out he had Liver Cancer but it had not spread and a transplant would save him. Well, the burocrats in charge decided he was too old to waste the money on so they refused to fund the transplant. He died in January 2009! Yes, There Are DEATH PANELS in Socialized Medicene! Anyone who thinks otherwise is a Fool!

    1) Dow Jones DOWN 11% (that aint growth teabagger-boy)
    2) Unemployme­­­­­­nt rate up 49% (that aint growth either teabagger-boy)
    3) $281 Billion Surplus Bush/Cheney Inherited Became a $500 Billion Deficit. (Not growth teabagger-boy)
    4) Jobs, Net Loss of 2.6 Million. (Loss aint growth)
    5) Tax cuts account for 25% of DEFICIT (That’s the % in 2003 – that % is HIGHER now & it aint growth)

    YOU: Clinton raised income taxes on social security recipients
    ME: You are 100% WRONG.

    YOU: Obama cuts Medicare half a trillion dollars
    ME: You are 100% WRONG.

    YOU: Obamacare causes most insurance premiums to skyrocket 20 to 60 percent (so far)
    ME: You are 100% WRONG.

    YOU: Democrat Louise Slaughter says “Republicans kill women”
    ME: And she is correct – GOP Job Crushing Budget & Riders that include defunding of Title X Woman’s Health Clinics – WILL, INDEED Kill Women – dead.

    YOU: Bush gave retirees prescription coverage
    ME: Yes, the Bush Doughnut hole you describe made the Debt SKYROCKET

    YOU: Obama cut Washington DC school vouchers, meanwhile, because of the GOP House, poor black kids in Washington DC get education vouchers to get out of the failing union controlled public schools… Boehner and the Tea Party got them back in.
    ME: Vouchers don’t work & are a waste of money – it figures you & your teabaggie brethren support ignorant uses for Tax Money.

    YOU: You all are witnessing a Tea Party revolution, that will continue through 2012…RINO’s and morally bankrupt Democrats will be defeated – vote by vote, month by month the truth is winning out.
    ME: You wrote 100% garbage and lies — you wouldn’t know truth if it bit ya in the face.

    Ya know – it’s very clear that the only thing Teabaggers spew are LIES & False Propaganda. In fact, if it weren’t for lies, Teabaggers would never speak.

    Are you suggesting that we judge people by their associations? And just when did “hanging out with the Mafia” become a crime worthy of jail time? Perhaps you should get your facts straight.

    You mean, like, claiming health care would be rationed out by “death panels” because terminally ill patients could be offered the choice of end-of-life counseling instead of spending $100,000/day of taxpayers’ money to give them an extra month of lying in bed hooked to a machine 24/7?
    …………………….
    Correct, this low I.Q. hag has no right to say anything about scare tactics! Then this lying crap about blaming Obama, for not paying our service persons during a shut done. That’s one of the few reasons that Obama had to give in, because of that tea lie! Teas are famous for pissing in the corner then blaming the liberals! You should piss in your own corner then claim the brand.
