Sarah Palin
Here's why in almost every one of my speeches or interviews I use the term "Orwellian”:

http://townhall.com/columnists/victordavishanson/2014/02/13/an-orwellian-nation-of-obamathink-n1793843/page/full

As I sit the bleachers today at middle school sports tournaments, I look out at our future and confirm the necessity to get America back on the right road, soon, before it's too late. Please explain this article to your children, as many have been, unfortunately, shielded from reading the staples “Nineteen Eight-Four” and “Animal Farm” in school. Then encourage them by your actions to be engaged and NOT LET IT HAPPEN.

1. What the fuck is she even talking about?

wait, I don't care..

[one_voice]

4. This ^^^

She doesn't know what's she's talking about.

I'd like to add a hearty fuck her to that too.

[3catwoman3]

35. That's the first...

...question that came to my mind, too. One that I have often asked when attempting to decipher her ramblings.

[unblock]

2. idiot. everyone knows it's "one ninety-eight four". sheesh!

[think]

25. That's

hilarious....

[CatWoman]

3. and he also sunk my battleship!!!!

[awoke_in_2003]

69. Thanks, Obama...

[awoke_in_2003]

70. Oh, and he put chocolate...

in my peanut butter.

[lpbk2713]

6. I heard Wasilla is the meth capitol of Alaska

When I see The Quitter babbling on like this I tend to believe it.

[Botany]

46. Grammar and punctuation are so over rated.

I would think this would be from meth, vodka & red bull cocktails, and an 8 ball of
coke too.

Go ahead and try to read Ms. Palin's gibberish out loud and not feel your brain trying to crawl out of your
skull.

"As I sit the bleachers today at middle school sports tournaments ...."


Today, as I sit in the bleachers at a middle school sport's tournament ....

[Warpy]

57. I think the woman is hypomanic.

It explains most of her life as well as her boundless enthusiasm and self confidence. It also explains her nutty speech patterns when she strays off script, demonstrating flight of ideas and considerable word salad.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypomania

She'll never seek treatment because she thinks she's a howling success instead of a barking nutcase.

[Botany]

60. You might be right but ......

..... I like, her, random use of, commas, because she just, puts, them, almost anyplace,
in her sentences,.

BTW I think what we are seeing here is Ms. Palin no longer using her ghost writer and
so we get to see her real writing.

BTW part 2 .... try to read her posting out loud.

[Warpy]

62. No, I don't have the brain cells to spare on reading much of anything

that comes out of that woman's addled brain. I can hear a fizz and a pop as my poor neurons confront her twaddle and decide life just isn't worth living any more.

[Ghost in the Machine]

55. I've always had this nagging little feeling about Todd Palin flying loads of meth out in his private

Piper Super Cub, as well as on those long snowmobile races, with the 700 extra miles to Fairbanks added on to it. Those commercial Salmon fishing gigs could provide another good cover to make drops for later pickups. I'm not saying any of this is true, mind you, just a theory in my head.

Have you ever just looked at someone and didn't like them for some reason? That's how I felt about Todd the first time I saw him. I thought he looked like a meth dealer, and he looked strung out a few times when the family appeared on TV.

Peace,

Ghost

8. "...George W. Bush, the demonized Emmanuel Goldstein of our era..."

are you fucking shitting me?! sorry I clicked on that link.

[Dawson Leery]

10. As I have stated before, the tea party were Bush's top supporters.

The tea party types love power above all else. They are insecure, once their guy is out of power they demand a revolution.

[frylock]

12. to be fair, we're seeing that here with a democrat in the WH..

my party, right or wrong doesn't seem to be a sentiment that's shared only among wingers.

[OilemFirchen]

19. To be REALLY fair,

the Tea Party started as a bunch of Paulite Looneytarians upset with Bush because he was impure by their juvenile, ahistorical, selfish, whacked-out standards.

Otherwise, you're right. We are seeing that here.

[frylock]

20. true on all counts

[KamaAina]

9. 0666 Palin S! Turn your telescreen back on at once!

[Cha]

34. lol

[WinkyDink]

11. Ten-Four, Good Buddy!

[Kurovski]

16. *DUzy*

[tanyev]

13. If anyone is shielding kids from reading 1984 and Animal Farm, you can bet it's rightwing nutjobs.

[Kurovski]

15. No, now see...that's where you're incorrect. It's "Nineteen-Eight-Four"

[Kurovski]

14. Do as does Sarah, and read nothing at all!

Even her bible is learned second hand at best.

[shenmue]

17. What is wrong with her?

Both books are recommended in many schools. They were when I was a kid, and as I've heard, they still are today. I don't think Pres. Obama has kept anybody from reading anything.

And Palin is the one who doesn't read, for pity's sake!

[sarge43]

18. She does realize Orwell was a socialist?

Oh right

Never mind.

[OilemFirchen]

21. "Please explain this article to your children"

Better yet, as it's written at a fourth-grade level, have them explain it to you.

[Miles Archer]

28. ...

[RadiationTherapy]

22. Huxley was more prescient I think.

The drug induced haze, constant entertainment, and absence of connections to the past through history or heritage seem far more threatening to society than "mere" totalitarian fascism.

[Tom Ripley]

43. +1000

[awoke_in_2003]

71. we have a blending of both...

constant surveillance and constant entertainment.

[justiceischeap]

23. I guess she doesn't understand that Animal Farm basically satarizes

today's republican party and 1984 is a warning against today's type of government (both repub and dem). I think maybe she read the shmoop.com "cliff notes" for these books.

[cui bono]

63. I think she thinks

1984 = Reagan

animal farm = getting to kill animals and bacon

[spanone]

24. fuck you again, john mccain

[3catwoman3]

38. This phrase crosses my lips every time...

...I hear anything from her lips.

[gopiscrap]

26. she is such a fucking idiot!

[HipChick]

27. Didn't Palin try and ban books in libraries at Wasilla Public Library when she was acting as Mayor?

and I mean acting in the truest sense...

[Number23]

29. Hmmm... blames Obama for everything. Uses the term "Orwellian' and has no freaking clue

what the hell she's talking about. Ever.

Anyone else think that sounds familiar around here??

[DisgustipatedinCA]

40. Have the guts to say what you mean

Jesus, I hate it when people are too cowardly to say what they obviously mean. You're trying to say that the liberals on this site, the people not always pleased with the President's rightward forays, are similar to Sarah Palin. But you don't posess the character or the gumption to say what you actually mean. And there's a 90% chance you'll play dumb in reply to this post and act as though you don't know what I'm talking about. You're also closer on the political spectrum to Sarah Palin than I'll ever be, so you can go chew on that for awhile.

[VanillaRhapsody]

61. He has never been more than a Moderate Liberal....duh...I knew that going in....

but he was further left than Bill Clinton, so I looked upon that as progress...some expected far too much. (by the way...at that time...before the primary....I supported Hillary Clinton specifically, because she was more liberal than Obama...). Some here seem to be surprised by this President. I haven't been. I don't understand why people don't see getting even a Moderate Liberal in office (particularly a Black man) was a feat in itself. The thing is....you ARE NOT going to get this country to suddenly LURCH to the Left. It's like a big ol Cruise ship and it takes "40 acres to turn this rig around"....Next step....get a Democratic Congress while holding on to the Senate. THEN you put in someone a little more left of Obama. I am a realist....change takes time.

[cui bono]

64. +1

Thank you.

[Number23]

65. Since YOU seem to have decided you know what I mean without having to even ask

what was the point of your idiotic little post demanding that I "explain myself" as if you are in a position to request one damn thing from me or anyone else here? What's got your knickers all twisted today since it always seems to be something?

You're also closer on the political spectrum to Sarah Palin than I'll ever be, so you can go chew on that for awhile.

I have never in my life seen people JUMP UP to pretend that they have been insulted just so they can use that as an excuse to insult other people. Your 3rd grade insults and 1st grade political perspective don't mean a thing to me so you could have kept that to yourself. I can't believe that you honestly think that I give one crap what you think, feel or have to say about anything so this pointless little show must be for your little friends.

[seabeyond]

30. son is reading it right now in school. other son did years ago. and animal farm. so??? nt

[Rosa Luxemburg]

31. She is completely insane

[SummerSnow]

32. She must be using her bong again

[SalviaBlue]

44. If only...

she might gain some self awareness.

[Kurovski]

50. The Doors of Perception

Huxley. OMG, SARAH!! Read it before Obama smokes it!!!

[SummerSnow]

33. She hasn't read 3 books in her life. Fuck her fuckery stupidity.

[3catwoman3]

36. Any bets...

...as to whether the ex-half-gov has read them herself? (and the Cliff's Notes don't count.)

[rbrnmw]

37. All of my kids have read 1984

She is nuttier than a pecan roll

[Kurovski]

51. And take a pick at any of the movies.

[alp227]

39. My liberal San Francisco-living English teacher did NOT shield us from reading that book.

I read it in 2006 when I was in 10th grade. And does Palin not understand that Orwell was a REAL socialist? Sheesh. Such inconvenient facts conservatives LOVE to ignore:
- "America the Beautiful" was written by a Massachusetts lesbian;
- "The Star-Spangled Banner" was written by a socialist;
- "1984" was written by a socialist!

[tblue37]

59. And the Pledge of Allegiance was also written by a socialist--and didn't include any reference

to God.

[undeterred]

41. wELL MAybe we Should rEAD 1983 first.

[madinmaryland]

42. "Word Salad" strikes again. nt

[Tom Ripley]

45. She's such a very stupid woman

[woo me with science]

47. There's a lot of Orwellian crap going on.

It would be nice if we could unite as citizens against mass government surveillance of citizens; brutal suppression of protest; secret laws and courts; "kill lists" and state murders utterly without due process; rampant propaganda; criminalization of investigative journalism; persecution of journalists and whistleblowers; subversion of our government for corporate use; and undeclared, rampant warmongering.

Instead, we are deliberately fed this sort of orchestrated partisan flamebait to get us to divide up into our Blue and Red teams and minimize the ongoing *bipartisan* murder of our democratic, representational government.

[Kurovski]

56. Then this is very good.

except that all of those horrible things will become good again when a repub gets in.

Just like they're magically marvelous when Obama got in.

But maybe not for the kids of Republicans and the kids of Democrats.

[Kurovski]

48. Oh this is just too good. I'm recc'ing it.

K&R

I rarely promote sarah's turd-alerts...but this, I will

[riderinthestorm]

49. Here's my daughter starring in a high school English "1984 project" in 2012

She's the blonde...

Nobody is censoring this. If bum-fuck nowheresville is teaching 1984 and Animal Farm, its not a problem....

[bullwinkle428]

52. Okay - who gave her the crack pipe as a 50th birthday present?

[Iggo]

53. I'll reserve judgement until Ms Palin actually reads those books.

The fucking idiot.

[BadgerKid]

54. I wonder how many Republican counties

have banned that book.

[riderinthestorm]

58. I live in Randy Hultgren's district, a major Teabagger. Its not banned and taught in school nt

[justgamma]

66. Doubleplus dumb. n/t

[Warren DeMontague]

67. She didn't, actually, write the linked opinion piece. Too much work, one imagines.

It was written by Victor Davis Hanson, who is a legendary numbskull in his own right, but who clearly writes at a higher level than Ms. Palin, which is to say at a higher level than a carrot.

[JHB]

68. Conservative sense of entitlement...

"I'm a Real American, so so why should I concern myself with pointless niggly details like spelling and grammar?"

[Contrary1]

72. 19-8-4

Must have been how she wrote it on her hand.
