What’s most frightening about Palin and her White Trash Gang?

[busterbrown]

The fact that....

John McCain almost brought this piece of garbage within a heart beat of the Presidency of the
United States Of America..

And he has the fucking gaul to consistently criticize President Obama on almost every issue he handles,

Why are Dems. not reminding him of this fact every time he opens his fat mouth?

[merrily]

1. Warmonger and self absorbed air head. What a ticket!

[world wide wally]

2. Because Dems are wimps

[SoapBox]

8. I absolutely agree.

...spineless fuck'n jellyfish.

[rpannier]

9. Said it before will say it again

99 Democratic Senators 1 Republican Senator
The bill didn't pass because the Republican was able to effectively outmaneuver the Democrats and force a delay

Wimp is a good description of many of them

[zentrum]

13. Watching the PBS doc on the Roosevelts

And it makes the point that Teddy ran for a third term as a Progressive (and lost) because both the Democratic and Republican Parties had become "empty shells" equally beholden to monied interests. He was disgusted with them both.

It's happened again.

Warren/Sanders 2016.
I can dream, can't I?

[Purveyor]

3. The most 'frightening' re: 'Palin and her White Trash Gang?' is that fact they

even make the news anymore, other than the local police blotter...

[bvf]

4. I don't think anyone listens to him anymore.

The guy's a buffoon and everyone knows it.

[woodsprite]

5. Just think, that brawl could have been in the Rose Garden. nt

[Spitfire of ATJ]

7. Now THAT would be a thorny situation.

[rpannier]

10. With family members of another President/Prime Minister or Monarch nt

[Kablooie]

6. Another way to look at it...

She represents the America we are truly becoming.

[hifiguy]

34. And what a dispiritingly large chunk of America

has been all along.

[Luminous Animal]

11. Hmm. Characterizing human beings as trash and garbage. Yeehaw! That's how Dems GOTV!

[kelly1mm]

12. "White Trash" is a dehumanizng, bigoted and unaceptable race based slur. Please edit your OP. nt

[Katashi_itto]

19. A rose by any name is still a rose.

[LanternWaste]

24. We as white people are indeed, so oppressed and overwhelmed by opportunities taken from us...

We as white people are indeed, so very oppressed, and overwhelmed by both historical and contemporary opportunities taken from us...

[RebelOne]

37. It is just as offensive as "trailer trash",

which I resent since I live in a mobile home park.

[kelly1mm]

39. It looses the race based componet (at least in a plain language reading) but is still

dehumanizing and bigoted. So yes, it is still offensive and IMO wrong. How offensive is up to the listener/reader.

My point is/was that labels used to dehumanize a person are wrong in and of themselves. Even if you REALLY disagree with the thoughts/actions of that person.

[busterbrown]

43. Which can be beautiful....

You know exactly what I’m talking about...

[LawDeeDah]

40. The Palins are idiotic, drooling assholes with little to no spark in their malfunctioning brains

That is quite correct, but 'white trash', I don't like that name calling and I'm not even sure why. Probably what you said.

[LostInAnomie]

44. It's ok. Since you can't be racist against white people...

... It's ok to use racial slurs againt them.

That's SJW logic 101.

[Major Hogwash]

14. The fact that we pay any attention to her at all.

She could move to South America and live in a hut near the Amazon River, and I couldn't care less!!!!!!

[rpannier]

17. We should be so lucky

We could hope she'd get bitten by a Brazilian Wandering. Though the bite might kill the poor spider instead of her

[Half-Century Man]

30. Why would you export her to endanger other ecosystems?

That's irresponsible.
We need to shut her down here; after all we spawned her.

[A HERETIC I AM]

15. Gall.

Because I am quite sure McCain doesn't have the fucking large portion of ancient Western Europe to criticize Obama.

Other than that...yeah....sure.

[edbermac]

16. They breed.

[Jamaal510]

25. ...

[Feral Child]

35. Good catch, Jamaal!

I laughed.

[lpbk2713]

18. Damn you McLame.

They keep jumping in the headlines to extend their fifteen minutes allotment.

[Brigid]

20. They are allowed to vote and drive cars?

[Dawgs]

21. It's the first thing I think of whenever I see either of them (McCain or Palin).

[nilesobek]

22. I'm calling you out for straight up racism

the way your OP is written. Granted the Palins fit all the stereotypes but if you said that about any other race you would be censored on this board.

[liberalhistorian]

23. No kidding. And Gramps McLame still

stands by his inexplicable choice. I couldn't believe it when he continued to insist that his had been "the most marvelous VP pick in American history" even in 2010, and he probably still makes himself think so. Yeah, she was something to "marvel" at, alright. But sure not in the way he was thinking and meant.

[karynnj]

26. Because calmly and competently defending the President against McCain's point is more important

and helps the President and country more. It is fine for people writing on blogs to constantly question "Why Palin", but it would actually - in a strange way - give credence to whatever criticism McCain is making. This is because some might take it as they could not defend the President, so they bashed McCain.

From many accounts, McCain wanted Lieberman -- and the party balked. He then took a candidate who had become the darling of the right. Very little was known of her - and the early press they put out showed her as a reformer - even in her own party. It did not take long for her weaknesses (how's that for a euphemism ) to show.

The difficult think being the nominee in a close election is that you will be pushed to pick a VP, not because he/she is the most qualified to become President, but because the choice makes it most likely for you to win. Not to mention, at that point, they have to depend A LOT on their team. Here, McCain was sold the idea that she would win the HRC vote (after all they are identical - both women (!) ) and that she had a reputation as a maverick like he did.

Where Lieberman would have been someone he respected and had worked with for decades, Palin was a wild chance to win a race that he was not favored in.

[DontTreadOnMe]

28. Every time John McCain appears in public

.. he should be reminded that his bad judgement picking Sarah Palin disqualifies him on everything.

His opinion is DISQUALIFIED. Call him out, in public, EVERY TIME.

[Louisiana1976]

29. John McCain must be senile, and he must have been senile at least since 2008. His selection of

Sarah Palin proves it.

[msanthrope]

31. Ok, I agree, but what do the French have to do with this? nt

[nilesobek]

32. I see that you've become a hit-and-run specialist.

You toss out this blatantly offensive and racist OP yet not respond to anyone who wrote anything in this thread. You should self-delete this piece of shit.

[busterbrown]

41. I know I should..

We Whites are so freaking oppressed..I’ll do so right away..
The nerve of some people...

[Half-Century Man]

33. Honestly answering.

I think the most frightening thing is; they represent the natural outcome of a forty year conservative attack on government and its abilities to provide social services.

Because of that education suffered, resulting in large blocks of low information citizens. Civil rights suffered, resulting in the continuation of white privilege in place of equality. Eighty percent of the population has seen stagnant or diminishing financial resources, resulting in an ever heavier burden on them.
People are scared and depressed and left with few answers. They have turned to religion (the promise of any reward, even if you have to die to get it, has appeal to the afflicted). They have become angry with no clear target (the low information thing combined with a powerful propaganda effort). They fragment into small groups or clans to pool what little talent and resources they have, keeping us from coming together to halt the attack.

The most frightening thing about Palin and her...........clan is; She is the intended civil product of republican plans.
An armed, angry, low information, controlled through religion, tool. One, I suspect more so everyday, intended to bring down or at least halt the Enlightenment/Age of Reason.

[11 Bravo]

36. They are allowed in public … off leash and unmuzzled.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

38. Spittoons in the Oval Office.

[TygrBright]

42. The words "stretch hummer." Unquestionably. Sends chills down my spine. n/t

[Manifestor_of_Light]

45. "Gaul" is France.

As in "Omnia Gallia divisa in tres partes" All Gaul is divided into three parts.

The word you're looking for is "gall" as in gall bladder.


I swear I'm gonna smash something the next time I read that someone "balled" when they were crying.

"Balling" is a different activity than "bawling".
