AMERICAblog: Palin supported anti-Semitic Pat Buchanan for president

  • BarbaraGordon · 1 year ago
    Let's make sure that all of the heavily Jewish communities in South Florida know all about her support for Buchanan. That should go over well with the elderly people who mistrust Obama's support for Israel because, after all, he is a Muslim. Between her support for Buchanan and her being a whacko Christian fundie, that should help sway the Jews to Obama.

    It is obvious from this VP's selection that the Republicans do not put any value on intelligence, experience or the security of the U.S. She possesses not a single qualification to be VP let alone one day being President. She is though no threat to the mental lightweight McCain. Other than being ultra right wing there is nothing to say about her other than like all Repubs she is involved in a series of corruption issues, uses her office for her own personal issues. Hasn't spent a second of her time doing anything but pandering to the lobbyists, big business and her husband's oil company bosses. She is perfect for the job and now Rove can manipulate her and Johnny Mack and the lobbyists must be doing cartwheels thinking about the access to controlling the entire future of the U.S. A better choice would have been plucking someone from the middle of the Australian outback. They are as experienced, same knowledge of foreign issues and they know how to live off theland.

    Exactly. You pointed out just how cynical the Repub Party has become. Now I'm scared half to death. Remember, Bush "won," not once, but twice.

    In The Interest Of Accuracy: Did Bush really " win " twice or did the Florida and Ohio thefts equal winning or stealing? The result would be the same.

    12.5 Million Records Go Missing in Data Breach
    http://hothardware.com/News/125-Million-Records...

    Earlier this week we reported on Scotland's Sunday Herald's claim that the Best Western hotel group was hit with the world's largest known data breach of eight million people's sensitive information, as well as Best Western's adamant denial. Even if the Sunday Herald story turns out to be true, the Best Western data breach would no longer hold the title of the world's largest known data breach. That record now goes to the Bank of New York (BNY) Mellon, which "lost" the sensitive information of 12.5 million customers...

  • AnalyticalLiberal · 1 year ago
    Palin is clearly a right-winger... not a neocon, but a theocon. This is a dangerous omen for America as we knew it. John McSame just made a Daniel Webster-like deal with the devil: to have any chance of winning the White House, he had to accept the Princess of the American Taliban's newest generation in exchange for their resources of money and ground game of autocratic followers.

    Richard Vigere, the godfather of republican mass mailers, is ecstatic over the Palin pick, and on Ed Schultz Friday Vigere predicted a landslide win for McSame. The dark forces of the American Taliban, along with Rove's dirty tricks and the conservatives' hatred for the "wrong people" to vote, will combine to make this an especially ugly and unfair election. It will take the Grace of God, and some damned hard work from us -- to beat up on the media already having "fun" with the "gimmick," and on the thugs trying to literally make America into Iran - if we are to avoid the disaster.

    Two last things that my rational mind sees and predicts: First, Palin is to McSame's VP decision as was Harriet Miers to Bush as his SCOTUS pick. Will the non-extremist parts of the GOP (or even the rest of America) force McSame to withdraw Palin as the VP pick? I think maybe so. Second, Charlie Black's defense of Palin being ready on national defense issues in four years, should McSame's health THEN become a problem, seems to me to be the tip-off that part of McSame's deal with the devil is that he will not seek a second term (should he get even a first term). I'd take this idea to the bank and bet my last dollar that such is the case.

  • vkobaya · 1 year ago
    The selection of Dan Quayle by the first Bush made more sense than this. Bush was trying to prevent his own impeachment by having a vice president that was totally unqualified and would have been an absolute disaster as president. However, Palin has no meaning at all, not a strategic choice by McCain and she has even fewer qualifications than Quayle, not even a seriously malicious threat to do massive harm to this nation, though she may well be too unqualified (too weak) to prevent her manipulation by the worst elements of the Republican party, Rove, Cheney, etc. Only value of her nomination is to Democats as it proves that McCain has lost it completely, he is senile.
  • KarenMrsLloydRichards · 1 year ago
    She is a tactical choice: she is what Rove's Boys believe will get the old man elected in 2 months. And they could be right. As for what happens after November 4th, they don't care. Getting elected in the short term is what matters. Governing for the long term: screw that.
  • coolcatdaddy · 1 year ago
    You've really summed up the current Republican playbook - it's all about gaining and maintaining power, not about governing.

    Rove and Company look at politics as some kind of Hollywood movie. They couldn't give a damn about solving America's problems or making government work. Power - that's all they care about.

    If they have to manipulate some right-wing peons to do it, so be it. They honestly don't give a damn.

    If they have to push a feeble old man into the White House that will either die or become incapacitated by something like Alzheimer's in his first term - so what? They'll have a figurehead in place to protect them.

    This is perhaps the most brazen, crass and cynical thing I've ever seen in American politics. The only equivalent I can think of is if, on the cusp of the Great Depression, the Republicans would have run a President and Vice President an incompetent racist Senator from the South and a small-town mayor that was a member of the KKK on a ticket blaming all the economic problems on Jews and Blacks against FDR. (Of course, in reality, the Republicans ran that year on the issue of how to solve the Depression and on policy - not on stirring up hate and fear.)

    That's really what the choice is like this year.

    The question is whether people will fall for this crap.

    It may well be that the McCain-Palin ticket is a complete Republican throw away and they want to have nothing to do with the administration that will serve from 2009 to 2013. They intend to see a Democrat in office and then blame him for the mess that Bush left behind knowing that it would take a very great president to clean up and save this nation. They, of course, run the risk that Obama may very well be of sufficient stature to meet the challenge. I think he has the ability, but like Lincoln and FDR, he is at core a moderate and unwilling to be the radical reformer that is needed. However, the mood of the country is for the first time in decades very liberal and even the Congressional Democrats at the convention were unafraid to use the the term liberal to describe themselves. I don't, for a moment, believe the Congressional Democrats are actually liberal, but they were swept along by the mood of the country. I hope that Obama will be swept up by the liberal way sweeping the country and like Lincoln and FDR become what we truly need after 8 years of total disaster and desecration of the national landscape.

    Of course, that is what the Republicans fear when they make the false charge that Obama is most liberal member of Congress. The reality is that if Obama succeeds and rises to the occasion, even if unwillingly, most of the previous administration as well as complicit members of Congress will be indicted and convicted. I think there will also be many Democrats such as Pelosi and Reid who are complicit and deserving of terms in prison.

  • McHiggins · 1 year ago
    Remember Bush's nomination of Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court? Equally offensive, since she was also dramatically unqualified.

    But it was harder to imagine Bush nominated Miers because he wanted to sleep with her. In this case, it's hard to imagine anything else. McCain is not pandering to women with this choice. He's pandering to the cranky old white men who resent the privileges they have lost. Choosing an obvious bimbo for a job like this is basically a way of telling people who have to work hard to land and keep a job to go shove it.

    McCain is giving himself the right to do whatever he wants, for whatever reason he wants, just like Bush did. It's the divine right of kings--in your face.

  • gregwire · 1 year ago
    Did anyone here see the interview CNN did with Palin while she was shopping for tourist trinkets at either the Dayton Mall or the airport? To me this provided even more insight into the campaign and Ms. Palin's personality, as she didn't stop to do the interview with CNN, she JUST KEPT SHOPPING.

    1) You were just introduced to the world as a VP pick. CNN, one of the larger news agencies in the world, wants to talk to you about it... and you don't have the experience to say "Hey I'd really love to grab that touristy crap over there, but I really need to do my job now and talk to CNN." I can't imagine what her trip will be like if McCain sends her over to Georgia too. It will be like watching hillbilly's in New York.

    1) McCain's staff provided Palin with *NO* handlers. No one from the campaign was there to to make sure that she had anything she needed. "Ms. Palin, you want some of that tourist crap?" No problem, I'll go buy it for you." Or someone to keep her on task "I know... that tourist crap is really cool looking, but right now we really need you to look VPish and go talk to CNN".
  • KarenMrsLloydRichards · 1 year ago
    But the hausfraus and fundies and lo-info trogs and dittoheads are swooning: look! She's just like us! She shops for souvenirs like we do! It's the US Magazine approach to presenting a "personality" to the celebrity-obsessed masses. The GOP will "market" her as a Personality, not as a politician. They will let her just be herself, without a lot of image consultants to make her "slick" or "polished." It won't matter, for example, that she can't debate Biden. In fact, if Biden tries to debate her directly, he will lose and she will win. At least 50% of the electorate will just see an old white guy with bad hair bullying the perky hockey mom.

    Younger folks seemingly cannot fathom the bone deep racial hatred that is the real legacy from America's unsavory slave past.
    Indeed, I remember a year or more ago in these Abog comment spaces, the disbelief expressed toward predictions of ugly racial campaign themes should Mr. Obama become the nominee.
    Personally, I've been shocked by comments from elderly FDR Democrats toward the only man who could actually lessen their overwhelming medical expenses among other positive benefits.
    While our higher culture and religions urge us toward the path of righteousness, the former omnipresence of slavery's descendants as a lower class often tempted many people away from glory and real expressions of human grace.
    People have to be confronted with their own heavily masked racism. This isn't Mr. Obama's job but rather the task of individual believers in equality. If we turn our heads and hold our tongues when racism becomes obvious in our daily personal experience then the fascist forces of falsity and division will succeed.

  • dricey · 1 year ago
    The problem Sarah Palin poses for McCain is a visceral one, and it's a problem for his lizard-brain base. As they look around the world, listen to the evening news, the lizard-brains are afraid, afraid of big, bad terrorists, big bad Russians, big bad criminals ... so they turn to authority for reassurance. The most visceral form of authority is male authority. Fighter pilots like McCain exude it. President Chimpy tried to exude it in that Mission Accomplished moment. Dick Cheney exudes it when he snarls and cusses. Authority is something sensed, not reasoned. At the base of their attacks on Obama isn't his lack of experience, it's the visceral question of whether when you look at this man, you see in him that macho authority, that John Wayne quality, that Ronald Reagan quality that lizard-brain conservatives need to see.

    So, do you see that in Sarah Palin?

    Look at the pictures of McCain and Palin together. Do you see the future leaders of a Free World locked in an apocalyptic struggle against terrorism, or do you see an elderly fading war hero who married a trophy bride standing there with his trophy running mate?

    It seems to me that McCain has failed to internalize the outlook of base Republicans. I can't imagine that Rove's understudy, Steve Schmidt, had anything meaningful to do with his making this choice, because Rove is a master of the visceral, and from a visceral perspective this was a disaster. It's not going to lead those lizard-brains to vote for Obama, but it is going to make them wonder about whether they might have something better to do with their time the first Tuesday in November than go down to vote to put their future security in the hands of the Miss Alaska runner-up.

    Great article in The New Republic on Palin. "An astonishingly Arrogant VP Selection"

    http://blogs.tnr.com/tnr/blogs/the_plank/archiv...

    No doubt Michelle is right that the Obama-Biden team will have to be careful attacking Palin's frighteningly thin resume and tenuous grasp of foreign policy. But surely a campaign that has been charged with being too naïve to manage rogue state dictators can have a bit of fun with the idea that a one-time Miss Congeniality could effectively face down Vladimir Putin, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, or Kim Jong Il. Surely, Obama's "eight is enough" quip ought to apply not only to President Bush's economic and foreign policy travesties, but to the elevation of mediocrity that has characterized his appointment of Michael Brown to FEMA and his nomination of Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court. And surely we can agree that if the McCain campaign was desperate to transparently court voters put off by Hillary Clinton's loss, there is no dearth of women with far greater intellectual, executive, and political abilities--abilities that would allow them to assume the presidency in a heartbea

    Wonder what Olympia Snow, Kay Bailey Hutchinson, Liz Dole, Susan Collins have to say about being snubbed, fucked over and ignored. Johnny Mack, certainly with Olympia Snow, had some choices which deliver the female component. Unfortunately this looks more and more like the Taliban on the right have seized control and have put abortion, creationism and gay rights as the most important things a VP can bring to the table. I think they will all be drinking the Koolaid come November.
  • MNUSA · 1 year ago
    What was the process McCain used to make this decision? Who did he confer with? What was the criteria he established for a vice presidential candidate? Why were other more substantive Republican women eliminated? I'd really like to hear answers to my questions. Not because I'm considering voting for McCain because I'm a woman (I didn't have any problem making the switch from Hillary to Obama), but because I want to be reassured that McCain is sound of mind and there was a logical process to pick a running mate in place. This decision of his scares the heck out of me. What if they win?
  • KarenMrsLloydRichards · 1 year ago
    These great questions haven't been answered yet (and they may never be by a secretive McCain campaign). But it IS apparent that Palin bubbled up from a grassroots dittohead media machine almost as soon as she was elected governor; unbeknownst to most Americablog Kidz and the MSM, she has been a stellar and frequent guest on right-wing radio (which goes far beyond Rush). The Rove Boys have been attuned to this and, no doubt in my mind, pressed Palin on the befuddled old man as a way of solidifying the base.

    MNUSA: the story I read in several places yesterday about how McCain went about choosing Palin was this: He'd only met Palin once before, back in February, and had spoken with her on the phone. She was a popular choice among certain sectors of the right, but certainly not in others. He flew her to his ranch in Arizona this last week, and Thursday morning he and Cindy talked with Palin over coffee. Then McCain went for a walk alone along a creek on the ranch, and when he came back he offered Palin the nomination.

    THE ULTIMATE DANGER


    The designation of the extreme ( Buchanan ) right wing to the Republican ticket ( Palin ) is, with a 72 year old presidential candidate ( McCain ), a serious danger ( if they were ever to be elected or selected ) by this nation. Clearly this is equal to, or more dangerous than, another Cheney/Bush (third )term.
  • aquarius2 · 1 year ago

    I am surprised by internet polls concerning Palin. Two TV stations, KUSA in Denver and KSDK in St. Louis have put up an opinion poll. Basically, they are just a simple do you agree, disagree, have no opinion type polls. In both of them there is is a favorable opinion of McCain picking this woman.

    Both Colorado and Missouri are Republican leaning states, but still, how can anyone in their right minds think this was a good decision? A woman with virtually no experience a heartbeat away from the presidency.

    Like McCain they don't know her yet. The media has done a great job in concealing who these people are and what they will do to the lives of every American. It is up to us to inform everyone we know and brand them fast. McSidekick has already been tethered with his Bush love over 90% of the time, and we need to keep hammering that. Palin is a female Sam Brownback, but worse. Brownback is such a fanatic, he could barely garner any support for his run for Pres and this is a woman who leans even right of him! We need to define her in the starkest terms. She is a religious fanatic who has the added bonus of being tied to big oil. The woman is a dangerous holy roller.

We can not appeal to them intellectually when they do not have a brain. We must appeal to them on a more base level. For instance, I've heard Mrs. Palin has a halitosis, or offensive-bad breath problem. Can you imagine her talking to foreign heads of state, and them not being able to get within a few feet of her because she knocks them over with bad breath?!!?

    Now THAT is what the idiot half of our voting population understand!

    I do think those voters who can think can be convinced by destroying McCain's major campaign theme with his example of how he puts POLITICS FIRST. The whole "COUNTRY FIRST" campaign meme is destroyed with this highly POLITICAL pick. He didn't consider ANYTHING but politics. He was willing to put our nation in danger by picking a number 2 who can not fill his shoes. He put his COUNTRY LAST AND POLITICS FIRST!

    I call mysef a "left of center" libertarian feminist. Meaning, I'm not pro-choice based upon when life begins or a "woman's rights." I'm pro choice because I don't think the government has the right to tell me what to do with MY body. I'm pro gay marriage because I don't believe in the government telling individiausl who they can or cannot contract with. I'm against teaching creationism because, once again, it is the government inserting theology into public schools. I am completely, totally, emphatically against the patriot act because, once again, the government is invading my privacy.

    I am actually an economic conservative who is 100% behind Barack Obama's economic plan. I agree whole heartedly with his Univ. of Chicago Economic approach because in a global economy, "trickle down" economics doesn't work. It just doesn't.

    But this is not the reason for my posting.

    I am begging, pleading, praying to EVERY WOMAN I KNOW and on this blog -- to please, please, PLEASE, not just support Barack Obama but to go out and do everything you physically can to get out the vote. Your time is so valuable -- whether it is on a phone bank one night after work, canvassing in a neighborhood, or registering people to vote. Our rights as women are in jeopardy. Sarah Pallin -- a heart beat away from the Presidency -- is a wolf in sheeps clothing who will impose her beliefs on us should she become President.

    Please, please, please use your energy and your time. Please get the word out. Please.

    the scariest thing is, McCain/Palin is precisely the ticket certain people want.

    we must out vote them. and we must make sure the GOPers don't rig the vote in any state this time.

    You called it exactly right, tlsintx.

    There are many anti-gay, anti-black, anti-woman, voters who love this dangerous hate hag Sarah palin because Palin will establish Christian supremacy, is a militant ant-abortionis maniac, is also likely a gay basher who has a stanuch nti-gay record, and sinceI'm African American these facts concern me the MOST, is that Palin is also pro-segregation, that Palin is a right wing racist, and that Palin favors the reinstatement or rebuilding of the Plessy vs. Fergusen decision.

    There is a segment of homophobic fascist racist voters in this country (PUMA's included) that want many of these things to happen.

    Greetings, Americablog posters.

    This is my inaugural post to Americablog, and I will happily post the following negative indictments against Liar McCain's right wing fascit racist homophobic theocratc white supremacist hate hag Liar Sarah Palin.

    Republican Hate Hag Sarah Palin is all of the negative folowing:

    1. Palin is anti-choice.
    2. Palin is anti-gay/homphobic.
    3. Palin is anti-religious freedom/pro-Christinist supremacist.
    4. Palin is pro corporatist fascist.
    5. Palin is likely a warmonger.
    6. Palin is a right wing racist white supremacist.
    7. Palin is pro-segregation/anti-civil rights [That hasn't been talked about yet, bu if she endorsed the right wing racist white spremacist Pat Buchanan, that goes without saying that Palin's also a pro-segregation racist.

    This is the most dangerous hate hag Republican liar in the history of the right wing fascist racist Republican Party.
