Palin calls for Obama's impeachment over border crisis

[sinkingfeeling]

Source: CNN.com

(CNN) – Sarah Palin said President Barack Obama's inaction over the escalating crisis on the southern border is grounds for impeachment.

Calls for impeachment are coming from the President's harshest critics on the right and have intensified over the new immigration crisis. However, such a step is far-fetched, especially with Democrats currently in control of the Senate.

In the blistering op-ed, the former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee accuses Obama of intentionally allowing immigrants into the United States, hampering American job opportunities.

"President Obama’s rewarding of lawlessness, including his own, is the foundational problem here," she wrote.

"It’s time to impeach; and on behalf of American workers and legal immigrants of all backgrounds, we should vehemently oppose any politician on the left or right who would hesitate in voting for articles of impeachment."

2. ho fucking hum

[Joe Bacon]

45. This is what the Republicans WILL do in the next Congress!

If the Republicans gain seats in the House and pick up the Senate, their first order of business in the next Congress WILL be Obama's impeachment. The House will repeatedly vote out articles of impeachment. They do not care if they have the votes in the Senate to remove Obama, they will continually vote out articles of impeachment.

4. SArAh Palin is a moron, so glad she takes time out of her day to give us her opinion

5. Translation: I'm still pissed off that he kicked my butt on election day in 2008!

[RufusTFirefly]

6. Shouldn't he just quit halfway through his term?

That's what Palin would do.

7. Everytime Palin opens her mouth a big turd rolls out!!!!!!!!!!

Stay in Alaska and watch Russia. They need you. ha ha

[kairos12]

8. Her comments, as usual, are beyond the Palin.

[jmowreader]

9. Last week they wanted to impeach him over Bergdahl

The week before that it was Benghazi, the stock market the week before that, then Benghazi, the job report, three straight weeks of Benghazi...they should just come out and say they want to impeach him because it says "White House" on the door and he isn't.

11. Steve Benen from Maddow Blog has excellent point of view on this:

http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/palin-demands-impeachment-exacerbating-gop-dilemma

I recommend reading at the link.. here's an excerpt:

First, for a prominent Republican figure to use immigration as a rationale for presidential impeachment – just four months before the midterm elections – is pretty much the opposite the message the party establishment wants to convey. GOP lawmakers have already killed a popular, bipartisan immigration bill, alienating Latino voters nationwide, and now Sarah Palin is making matters worse, largely because her contempt for the president is unrelated to any kind of sensible electoral strategy.

Second, the more the party’s highest-profile personalities raise the volume on impeachment talk, the more it motivates the Democratic base to actually get in the game this fall (look up “1998, midterm elections”). Put it this way: who do you think is more excited about talking up Palin’s harangue this afternoon, the RNC or the DNC? I’m guessing the latter.

[Aristus]

12. And he's forcing unscrupulous companies to hire undocumented workers, too?

Is that it, Sarah?

Jesus. The stupid, it burns...

13. Her 15 Minutes of Fame are Over

Please, please stop reporting on this American nitwit. She has no idea just how stupid she is. I cringe with embarrassment every time I see her name in print. NO ONE CARES!

14. Buchanan: Impeachment, a Bridge Too Far

Increasingly, across this city, the "I" word is being heard.

Impeachment is being brought up by Republicans outraged over Barack Obama's usurpations of power and unilateral rewriting of laws. And Obama is taunting John Boehner and the GOP: "So sue me."

Democrats are talking impeachment to rally a lethargic base to come out and vote this fall to prevent Republicans from taking control of the Senate, and with it the power to convict an impeached president.

Still, Republicans should drop the talk of impeachment.

For the GOP would gain nothing and risk everything if the people began to take seriously their threats to do to Barack Obama what Newt Gingrich's House did to Bill Clinton.

The charges for which a president can be impeached and removed from office, are "Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors."

Might as well throw in Buchanan's OP as long as Palin gets a ride.

18. She's starting to act more like Ann Coulter

Whenever Ann's name isn't in the papers for awhile, she comes out and says the most outrageous, insane and inflammatory things to get it back in there. Trouble is, just like a drug, readers develop a tolerance to things like that so she has to keep topping herself and out-nutcasing whatever it was she said last time. She probably doesn't even believe what she's spouted over the last couple of years. The whole point is to keep her name out there, sell her books and collect her speaking fees.

I look forward to whatever Crazy Sarah comes out with, say, a year from now, when she's desperate to stay relevant.

26. until finally, they end up like joan rivers

Joan Rivers is at it again. Known for commentary with shock value, the Fashion Police host's latest trolling may have gone too far. When the comedienne was on her way to an event, an on-the-street interviewer asked if she thought a gay president would take office before a female candidate. She quickly replied with “We already have it with Obama.”

Rivers then called out another member of the presidential family, First Lady Michelle Obama. "You know that Michelle is a tranny," she said. The interviewer then asked Rivers to repeat her statement and she said, "A transgender. We all know. It's okay."

How's that for unfunny business? Roll the tape above.

21. Good God in Butter is she dumb

The current law about the border was signed in 2008 by W bush.

[xocet]

56. How true about Palin....

Out of curiosity, could you please tell me about the origin of the expression "Good God in Butter"? I have never seen that expression before: Google has a very limited set of results for the phrase "Good God in Butter" - most of them link back to your posts on DU.

At any rate, thanks for any linguistic information that you care to share.

[Botany]

60. As far as I know I am the author of, "Good God in Butter."

Feel free to use it in your day to day chit chat.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

33. That's not exactly how it went down.

In actuality, Sarah Palin called for his impea ....and then she fucking quit, right in the middle of the word. It's what she does.

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

34. Who's Sarah Palin?

Why should we be concerned over what she thinks?

[ohnoyoudidnt]

35. So what does she want him to do?

Shoot the kids in the head as they try to cross the border, perhaps from a helicopter?

[Blue Idaho]

37. No

But I bet if you handed her an M16 she would gladly shoot every little kid trying to cross the border.

She's a "Christian" ya know...

[House]

38. She needs to just go away.

[mnhtnbb]

43. Welcome to DU, House!

[47of74]

40. Fuck you VERY MUCH John McCain for inflicting Princess Dumb Fuck of the North Woods on us.

That is all.

[greiner3]

41. "...hampering American job opportunities."

And the Republicans give one more reason the economy is not great for the average member of their party.

[mnhtnbb]

42. When is the media going to stop paying attention to this woman every time she opens her mouth

to spew her trash talk?

[C Moon]

44. The Koch brothers are getting desparate.

[yurbud]

46. the only thing "blistering" about a Palin op-ed would be her thumbs trying to type it

[Evasporque]

65. LOL - Duzy! nt

[yurbud]

47. I would like to hear her say or define "vehemently"

[MisterP]

48. the issue that even the GOP said "eh, not today" about?

[Blue Owl]

49. Mouthbreathing grifter...

[Fred M]

50. Remember when there was Shame in America?

When people were exposed as frauds, fools and liars, and actually crawled away, never to be heard from again? Those were the days!

[The Second Stone]

51. I call for Palin's "peachment" over the execution of

a pardoned turkey. Life begins at the photo op.

[yurbud]

52. The perfect know-nothing GOP ticket for 2016: Palin/Nugent

She's a little bit country, and he's a little bit rock and roll (but mostly racist and batshit crazy).

[Kablooie]

53. I'd vote for them!

In the Republican primary.

[yurbud]

54. ha

[samsingh]

55. we should impeach repug governers because they are repugs

[lexx21]

57. I view her opinion pretty much the same as...

when CNN met Madonna at the air port when she was returning from Europe back during the first gulf war to get her opinion on the whole matter. Who the FK cares?

As someone posted (can't remember where or when)... Palin is like a trashy, loud mouthed, one night stand that just wouldn't leave.

[treestar]

58. Figures she would want to use it as a political tool

What this was the issue that got to her? Nothing that Obama has done heretofore bothered her that much?

[mwooldri]

59. Her stint as AK Gov & her impeachment efforts have one word in common.

And I can sum up the end result in one word: aborted. Her governorship was aborted, and the efforts for impeachment will also be aborted.

[Wash. state Desk Jet]

61. It's odd really ,really really odd

There''s the saying there is always a bad apple in the bunch.The republican party it seems is at war within itself over who is the worst of the worst of them all.All gavel guy was saying is look,I'm rotten as all hell but not the kind of rotten Palin is, us gop's is solid red good eat'en apples and Palin,she's just a good for nothing crab apple.Nobody goes that low.er ah, almost nobody

[Scarsdale]

63. Fox

Only Ailes would be dumb enough to think this "woman" is good for his bottom line. Before she opens her mouth, we know what will come out. All hate for the President, all the time. Where is Ann coulter, in training for next year's Triple Crown??

[bvf]

64. Remind me: Who is Sarah Palin? <eom>

[47of74]

66. Actually for Presidenting While Black

That's the real reason Palin and her pals want the President impeached. Anything other reason they give us just horseshit used to disguise that fact.
