Wasilla's New Mayor Asks Officials to Quit

[Dem2theMax]

I was asked to put this in a new thread. Imagine her as a VP, or worse. :crazy:

[Tatiana]

1. Keep it comin'! I honestly think Cheney has met his match in Palin.

:popcorn:

[Dem2theMax]

7. LOL. I think she's starting to make Cheney look like a choir boy!

[Tatiana]

11. Successful, mafia-worthy intimidation? Check. DANGEROUS is what we need to call her.

All day, everyday. This lady is DANGEROUS. Not just inexperienced, but pure DANGEROUS because, like Cheney, all she cares about is power.

[TwilightGardener]

22. "..short lived proposal to move the city's historic buildings from downtown.."

WTF? What a power-hungry, paranoid, stupid nutcase she is.

[Arm Chair Politician]

33. There are recent comments by Palin that show the trend continues...

When Palin did her most recent press conference which revealed the audio tape of her commissioners pushing to fire a trooper after she stated no pressure was ever applied, she admitted one reason she fired Alaska's top cop was because he wasn't supporting 'the administration' and her policies. Basically his comments and actions were on a different page compared to Palin's administration.

An audio recording of this estimated 60 minute press conference is out there as it was on multiple radio stations. If you search for it, you should be able to find it rather easily.

[trueblue2007]

2. my gosh!!!! SARAH IS A FEMALE HITLER.

Imagine stopping freedom of speech. Telling employees they can not talk to the newspaper!! Demanding resignations.

What a horrid, awful, nasty woman.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~She will NOT be my Vice President~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[JVS]

31. Fitler!

[Arugula Latte]

3. Wow. She'd make a good evil dictator.

Jesus. This woman is a freaking nutcase.

[MagickMuffin]

10. Her Daddy did say she was "one tough nut"

I guess he would know.

[Danger Mouse]

4. Donna Corleone.

[TheKentuckian]

9. I keep saying it.-FAR OUT LOON

unravel this nutcase and the pandering idiot that put her forward.

This is exactly the change Palin brings to the table good ole fascism. It's automatic that is the GOP's corporate fascists, theocrats, and neocon deepest fringes are beaming and in the tank 110% off the bat, that you are clearly dealing with one of the truly disturbed wackos that represent the very worse in politics. The lot of crazies that would lead the world into a new dark age.

[quantass]

5. Am i dreaming...Is it already Christmas, AGAIN...6x today!!11! -- Big KICK and REC

:evilgrin:

[Neshanic]

6. Mayberry Fascist.

[itsrobert]

8. This can't be true

Is this a phony story. The librarian couldn't speak because she was on a gag order? This can't be true? I'm sorry, I find this hard to believe.

[Dem2theMax]

13. It's as real as can be. I did a cut and paste right off the copy that is online.

I belong to NewspaperArchive.com. I have a bad habit known as genealogy research.
And people who have that hobby tend to know where to go to look for the skeletons in the closet. :evilgrin:

[Maraya1969]

21. You sir, are a very important person. Keep em coming!

[Dem2theMax]

26. I'm hunting as fast as I can! LOL.

One tiny thing.

I'm a girl. ;)

[Maraya1969]

58. I mean you Ms. are a very important person!

[sandnsea]

15. I've seen it elsewhere

It's true. Maybe people will finally understand what we're up against out there.

[bridgit]

12. So let them secede from the union, consider it an act of mercy...

:patriot:

[Norrin Radd]

14. kr

[Dem2theMax]

16. More. This is fun. LOL. Lookie at the reason she didn't want to run.

It's at the bottom of the article.

(So how does she explain the VP job? I mean, she's gotta move. Or, maybe not.
With this GO ALASKA thing she has going on, maybe she thinks she can stay there?)

[Tatiana]

17. Don't forget to rec this, everyone! The more info on Palin, the better! n/t

[ClayZ]

18. I don't have enough popcorn for this!

Keep 'em coming!

K and R :popcorn:

[populistdriven]

27. more!

[Maraya1969]

19. I swear this woman must have hamsters running around her head.

I thought it was a spoof at first.

[chatnoir]

24. LOL Hamsters!

:spray:
The only animals left alive within a 20 miles radius are in her head.

[Dem2theMax]

20. You will LOVE this one. How about NRA influence?

Item was too low on page to copy/paste the title of newspaper.
So, it's from "The Daily Sitka Sentinel, Sitka, AK, Monday, February 24, 1997, pg. 5."

[Goat or Panic]

23. She was Bush before

Bush was Bush!!!

Complete with behind the scenes Dick (Todd) Cheney.

[Dem2theMax]

25. Ready to say buh-bye to the Smithsonian if she gets in?

Daily Sitka Sentinel, Sitka, AK, Thursday, August 7, 1997, pg. 7.


Man, she just spreads joy wherever she goes. People bailing left and right. She IS Cheney!

[CBHagman]

61. She really sounds like a vindictive old ideologue.

Banning books, alienating museum workers, drawing lawsuits -- what on God's green Earth was McCain thinking when picked Sarah Palin? She sounds as crazy as the rat from you-know-where.

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/03/us/politics/03wasilla.html?ei=5070

Ann Kilkenny, a Democrat who said she attended every City Council meeting in Ms. Palin’s first year in office, said Ms. Palin brought up the idea of banning some books at one meeting. “They were somehow morally or socially objectionable to her,” Ms. Kilkenny said.

The librarian, Mary Ellen Emmons, pledged to “resist all efforts at censorship,” Ms. Kilkenny recalled. Ms. Palin fired Ms. Emmons shortly after taking office but changed course after residents made a strong show of support. Ms. Emmons, who left her job and Wasilla a couple of years later, declined to comment for this article.

Librarians are often our first line of defense in the protection of the First Amendment. Do not mess with them.

[Dem2theMax]

28. No fan of the environment either.

Who cares about the wetlands? We always need more parking lots!

[joshcryer]

29. Where are you getting these? This is fucking gold! Holy shit!

[Dem2theMax]

34. I just went through 92 hits from the Daily Sitka Sentinel.

Two more papers to go on the NewspaperArchive.com site (where all this came from) then there are other places to go looking.
I wish it was morning. The genealogists from DU would be up and I could get them working at this too. LOL. I'm so sleepy.
But I'll take a peek at the other papers and see if anything stands out right away.

Sarah is a, well, anyone see that cartoon of the elephant wearing high heels? That's her. :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:
The more I read, the more I hope the media picks up on all of her Fuhrer-like qualities.

I'd hate to see her on a bad PMS day. (Hey, I can say that. I'm a woman! LOL)

[Hekate]

30. KnR. You are TERRIFIC. The Half-Baked Alaskan, otoh, is jaw-droppingly awful...

:wow:

Hekate

[Blue Diadem]

45. The Half-Baked Alaskan

:rofl:

[AzDar]

32. Kick...

[Dem2theMax]

35. Forces her own choice for Fish and Game post. Wonder why?

We all know why. Because she likes to KILL, even from helicopters.

Daily News-Miner, Fairbanks, AK., Saturday, April 7, 2007, pg. 1.

Geez, I've 'vetted' more than McSame did. Of course, my results weren't what they wanted, but still. It's out there. You just have to look! LOL.
(I HAVE to get some sleep. Tons more to look through in the morning. Heck, it's almost morning now. Well, 3:00am. Someone, anyone, please keep this kicked so I can find it in a few hours.) Who knows? Maybe by then, Palin will no longer be on the ticket! :evilgrin:

[agentS]

36. No wonder the Freepers love her!

She fits the mold of what they want to vote for.


Authoritarian Fascism is the right-wing's bread and butter.

[Cali_Democrat]

37. WOW

:wow:

[yourguide]

38. were you the one that posted an article about her

firing people, as mayor of wasilla?

[Dem2theMax]

44. Yes. This is the same article. I had posted it in another thread

and someone requested that I make a new thread for it. It is such a thing of beauty, I guess it did deserve it's own thread. LOL!

I read the article two days ago and still can't believe it. :scared:

[Forkboy]

39. Thank you McCain for making the race fun again.

You blundering dolt!!! :rofl:

[Idaho_Independent]

40. Ministry of Magical Mayor

Good grief, this woman is the spittin' image of Dolores Jane Umbridge.

How on earth with this kind of past did she become Governor?

These articles are WONDERDFUL! Unfortunately I don't have enough posts to rec. Shucks.

[Canuckistanian]

41. Wow. Just Wow.

I'm seeing a theme here. Loyalty to Palin was all that mattered.

Everyone else was out on their ass.

I think Dubya took lessons from HER.

[arcos]

42. kick nt

[Dem2theMax]

43. Shameless kick for the day crew.

:kick:

Didn't want you to miss out on some of the night time fun we had last night! :)

[Dem2theMax]

46. I promised more for today. Sarah just keeps on giving. She apparently does not like red tape.

The heck with rules and laws (gee, who does that remind me of?) and look at the company she kept!

[Greyskye]

47. Talk about a gold-rush!

These nuggets are great!

:kick: & R, and bookmarking for future reference!

[Occam Bandage]

48. Some "reformer" she is.

http://www.washingtonindependent.com/3767/palin-involved-in-ousting-scandals-from-the-start

If a small-town mayor ever ruled with an iron fist — it was Palin. Eleven days after taking office in 1996, she mailed letters to each of the city’s top managers requesting that they resign as a test of loyalty.

The Anchorage Daily News at the time reported the strange events: (via Nexis)

Mayor Sarah Palin sent the resignation requests Thursday to Police Chief Irl Stambaugh, public works director Jack Felton, finance director Duane Dvorak and Mary Ellen Emmons, the head of libraries. A fifth director — John Cooper, who oversaw the city museum — resigned earlier this month after Palin eliminated his position.

Cooper initially resisted resigning, but to no avail. Palin also later fired the police chief, saying she knew in her “heart” that he did not support her. She left the head of libraries a letter saying she was out — though Palin later decided to spare the librarian after being convinced that she would tow the line.

[kath]

50. Kick!

wish I could Rec again...

[faithfulcitizen]

51. I read only 617 people voted her in.

[Barack_America]

52. Wow, a tyrant.

Yeah, we need to keep her the fuck away from the WH.

[Marie26]

53. Great find

I wonder if "Mary Ellen Emmons" is the library director that Palin tried to fire when she wouldn't censor books.

[JBoy]

54. Why didn't she submerge them in water?

If they drown, they were loyal. If they don't they get fired.

[mnhtnbb]

55. How Rovian. Puts the Republican U S Attorneys' scandal to shame.

Maybe Rove was in Wasilla taking lessons from Palin?

http://www.iht.com/articles/2007/03/06/news/justice.php

No wonder the Repubs love her.

[Cha]

56. mccain better watch out..she'll be plotting

against him next.

[Dem2theMax]

57. Along with everything else, she's against funding to help people find JOBS.

This woman is a repukes dream. But I think she's turned the Republican Party into one big nightmare. :evilgrin:
(See the second part of the article, third column over.)

[WhiteTara]

59. sounds like another stolen election

[elvisbear]

60. Interesting finds.

Thanks.
