Palin: Ahmed was asking for it.

ormer Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) said on Saturday that arresting and suspending Ahmed Mohamed, the ninth grader who brought a homemade clock to school , was totally reasonable.

Palin called initial media reports of Mohamed's arrest "fishy" and said that school officials were totally justified in thinking that his clock, made out of a pencil box, was a bomb.

"Yep, believing that's a clock in a school pencil box is like believing Barack Obama is ruling over the most transparent administration in history," she wrote in a Facebook post in which she shared pictures of her kids' pencil boxes. "Right. That's a clock, and I'm the Queen of England."

Palin also compared the incident to others in which students were suspended and said that Mohamed was obviously an "obstinate-answering student."

"Friends, consider the kids disciplined and/or kicked out of school for bringing squirt guns to school or taking bites out of a pop tart until it resembled (to some politically correct yahoo) a gun. Or the student out deer hunting with his dad early one morning who forgot he had a box of ammo in his truck when he parked in the school's lot later that day," she wrote. "Whereas Ahmed Muhammad, an evidently obstinate-answering student bringing in a homemade 'clock' that obviously could be seen by conscientious teachers as a dangerous wired-up bomb-looking contraption (teachers who are told 'if you see something, say something!') gets invited to the White House."

Who the fuck thinks that a 14 year old kid who is planning to build a bomb and blow up the school is going show off his "bomb" to multiple teachers?

As if the 9/11 hijackers told the airline people, "Yeah, we got these here boxcutters to board planes, hijack them and fly them into buildings!"

Or the Columbine kids were going around to each of their teachers and showing off their arsenal to each teacher and saying "Hey, check out these cool guns and ammo I brought to school with me today!"

Obviously they didn't think it was a bomb. The school wasn't evacuated and the bomb squad wasn't called in.

So what the fuck?

for their flaming ignorance

and racist birther types like palin will support them. yet, if this was a christian kid who was asked to leave school for trying to force prayer on people, they would be screaming about his "rights."

... Then why didn't they evacuate the building and call the bomb squad?

Why didn't the police evacuate the building and call the bomb squad?

Did the school authorities and the police intentionally endanger hundreds of other students by their willful neglect?

With her family. Right? They've all done way more and gotten away with all of it. Should law enforcement take a serious stance with the Palin clan, Princess Dumbass of the North Woods would have a record, and so would her hillbilly husband and their redneck spawn.

But instead they cry "persecution!" And play the victim, of course. What happened to the so-called party of self responsibility? It has become the party of redneck irresponsibility, that's what.

Shut up, Simple Sarah.
